To avoid being detected by Jack, you and Artem idle for five minutes before moving out.

You two keep a fair distance between yourselves and Jack while following his GPS position with the tracking app.

While following his trail, you two discuss your "encounter" with Jack.

{{SL|You|Jack seemed surprised when he heard that we're investigating the case.}}
{{SL|You|But when we mentioned new evidence and a reversal, he seemed to agree with the standing investigation results.}}
{{SL|You|This contradicts what Darius said about Jack thinking Joshua's sentence as being too lenient.}}
{{SL|Artem|Darius said that Jack has been visiting and interviewing Joshua for the past three years.}}
{{SL|Artem|If there was more to this case, he would've found such information already.}}
{{SL|Artem|He was only acting indifferent to prevent others from associating him with the case.}}
{{SL|Artem|Don't forget: to Jack, we're merely two strangers.}}
{{SL|Artem|He naturally won't reveal his connection to the case.}}
{{SL|Artem|Also, did you notice that he failed to provide his name when he introduced himself?}}
{{SL|You|True, but we also didn't give out our names.}}
{{SL|You|A brief meeting of strangers doesn't require detailed introductions.}}
{{SL|Artem|Jack continues to walk away from the cabin, but from the reception terminal's data...}}
{{SL|Artem|The direction of his movement is different from the majority of the other treasure hunters.}}
{{SL|Artem|Perhaps his goal truly is...}}
{{SL|You|Revenge...}}
{{SL|Artem|Correct. Although we can't confirm how he learned of Joshua's presence in this event...}}
Halfway through his sentence, Artem suddenly frowns.

{{SL|Artem|I think he's going to take action very soon.}}
{{SL|You|Mr. Wing, how did you come to that conclusion...?}}
Artem points to the watch on your wrist.

{{SL|Artem|Look at the reception terminal's data.}}
You activate your terminal and bring up the reception terminal's data. Sure enough, Jack's GPS signal has disappeared.

{{SL|You|He broke his terminal!}}
He wouldn't have done that if he wasn't up to something suspicious!

You minimize the map and compare his terminal's last recorded position with a map of Nosta.

{{SL|You|We followed Jack to such a remote area!}}
{{SL|Artem|Let's go and assess the situation.}}
You two quickly make your way through the forest and dash to where Jack's GPS signal disappeared.

You soon arrive at your destination and discover a shattered terminal in the underbrush.

{{SL|You|The terminal was disassembled and the chip was directly destroyed. This was intentional.}}
{{SL|Artem|I just checked the reception terminal's data. No other terminals were detected in the vicinity.}}
{{SL|Artem|The announcement of the damaged terminals was meant to confuse the suspects. All terminals are still functional.}}
{{SL|Artem|Zachary and the others aren't nearby, either...}}
{{SL|Artem|This eliminates the possibility that Jack's watch was damaged by another contestant's assault.}}
As Artem speaks, he carefully puts the terminal into a sealed bag.

{{SL|You|Is there anything special about this remote location? Why did Jack decide to break the terminal here?}}
Artem looks at Jack's trajectory in the tracking app and is lost in thought for a while.

{{SL|You|Mr. Wing?}}
{{SL|Artem|Look at his path trajectory. Notice anything strange?}}
{{SL|You|Strange? He keeps going further and further away, and he's moving at a fast pace, as if he's running.}}
{{SL|Artem|Correct. He's running towards his target.}}
{{SL|Artem|If he wants to take revenge, he needs to know where Joshua is.}}
{{SL|Artem|And it doesn't look like he is searching. More like he knows exactly where his target is.}}
{{SL|You|True... But how does he know Joshua's location?}}
{{SL|You|Unless...}}
An idea crosses your mind...

{{SL|You|Joshua signed up to this event as Zachary's assistant. Did Zachary betray him?}}
{{SL|Artem|Zachary often visits the prison, so it's not unlikely that he knows about Jack.}}
{{SL|Artem|Let's follow him. Play it by ear.}}
{{SL|You|Okay.}}}}-->
|summary=[[Artem Wing|Artem]] and the [[Main Character|main character]] discuss [[Jack Barlow]]'s behavior and motivations. They notice Jack is heading in a different direction from most of the treasure hunters and realize he has broken his Pax terminal and may take action against [[Joshua Ott]] quite soon. Jack appears to be aware of Joshua's location and is running directly toward him, leading Artem and the MC to speculate that [[Zachary Clarke]] may have betrayed Joshua.
