Yagyu Satoru moved quickly and caught Terumi Mei's falling body, holding her back with one hand and holding her legs with the other. (Good Li Zhao)

As soon as he picked him up, Yagyu Satoru couldn't help but frown.

It's only been more than a month, why has she lost so much weight?What on earth has she experienced?

"Mizukage-sama, please put your clothes on first—"

Yuna squeezed her way out of the crowd with her cloak in her arms. She looked at the unconscious Terumi Mei and then at Yagyu Satoru, but hesitated to speak.

"Tell me if you have anything to say."

"It's a long story. Satoru-sama, let's send Mizukage-sama home first. She hasn't slept in three days."

For a shadow-level master, nothing serious would happen if he didn't sleep for three days, and he wouldn't be too vulnerable even in a combat state.

But Terumi Mei had just removed the curse from her body, and while her body was still slowly recovering, she entered into a project to cooperate with Konoha. She was so busy every day that her feet never touched the ground. In addition, what happened recently , she didn’t eat or drink for several days, and she finally collapsed from exhaustion! .

Chapter 203 A certain murderer was chosen.

After sending Terumi Mei home, Yagyu Satoru came to Mizukage's office and interviewed Terumi.

"What's going on? Why does the entire Kirigakure Village seem to be in panic?"

Apart from the coming war, Yagyu Satoru couldn't think of any other reason that could make everyone equally afraid.

But if it was a war, it was impossible for Konoha where he was not to know about it.

So what's the reason?

"Sir Satoru... You may not believe these words, but there really is a ghost in Kirigakure Village!"

"what?"

Yagyu Satoru suddenly realized that he seemed to be at odds with "ghost" recently.

The last "ghost" was the finger of Two-faced Su Nuo. I don't know where the sage got that finger, and he knew that it had the ability to absorb unknown things, but maybe that thing that appeared in front of him was the wish of someone or some people. Hope.

"Man-eating ghosts! They are everywhere. In just half a month, more than a dozen people have died."

On average, one person dies a day, which is sensational news in Kirigakure Village.

After Chimei's explanation, Yagyu Satoru finally understood what happened.

It turns out that everything has gone wrong since the first person died in the village half a month ago.

357

The first person to die was an old man living alone. There were countless bite marks on his body. The fatal injury was the tooth marks on his neck, which looked like a wolf or a tiger.

At the beginning of the period, everyone thought it was a wild beast in the mountains. Terumi Mei even sent people to look for it in the mountains, but found nothing.

Later, four or five more people died one after another, and the murderer also changed from a "beast" to a "ghost".

It can only be ghosts. There are no man-eating beasts in the mountains. There are no scratches on the bodies of the dead. Moreover, they were all killed with one blow on the neck, then sucked the blood from the body and ate their flesh raw.

It is difficult for a human to do such a cruel practice, so we can only label this as a "ghost".

"In other words, you don't have any evidence right now. Was this done by a ghost? You don't even know if there are ghosts in this world?"

Zhimei couldn't help but lower her head.

"This is the best choice..."

They have no other way to go. If they die like this, it may be their own fault one day. This is what everyone thinks.

What Yagyu Satoru said was right. They had been investigating for half a month and found nothing. They could not find any wild animals. Are there any connections between the sixteen dead people? There is no common hatred. There are no outsiders in Kirigakure Village. They can only be "ghosts". ".

There must be a murderer, otherwise the villagers will be even more panicked!

"Does this murderer have to be a ghost?" Yagyu Satoru suddenly said: "The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is because of the absolute gap in strength. They are not qualified to resist, so they are so afraid. You have arranged a murderer who is unable to resist." 'Is coming out the best option?"

Zhimei was speechless.

Although this matter was the decision made by Mizukage-sama, as personal guards, they did not give more rational suggestions and better choices, and she was also responsible.

"Sir, please atone for your sins!" Chimei suddenly knelt down to Yagyu Satoru and said, "Sir, please help us in Kirigakure Village!"

"I can't bear such a big gift. Let's wait until Terumi Mei wakes up."

"Master Mizukage has been tired for a long time. To be honest, your coming here at least gives us hope."

"Me? Hope for you?"

Yagyu Satoru was a little surprised.

Hope in despair is a very heavy responsibility, and Yagyu Satoru thinks that it is not important to them to this extent.

Where did this honor come from?

Is it just based on the tidbits about Mei Mei?

"Sir, Mizukage-sama was tortured before because of Yamada's incident. In fact, everyone took it to heart, but no one has been able to help her for so many years. You are the first and only one. Since you came here , Sir, you have become better, everyone can see this, and everyone is very (cjbh) grateful to you."

After hearing this, Yagyu Shengwu thought for a long time and said, "I understand. Thank you for telling me this. You should also go and have a rest. I will think about what should be done about this matter."

"I'll stay here with you."

"If you don't believe me, you can find another place for me to stay."

Yagyu Satoru thought that the other party was afraid that he would act mischievously in Mizukage's office. He had no interest in intervening in the government affairs of other countries. He just happened to be here. If the other party minded, it didn't matter if he moved to another place.

Realizing that Yagyu Satoru had misunderstood him, Chimei quickly shook her hands and explained: "No, no, I didn't mean that. I want to stay and help you. If you need other information, as long as I know it, I will tell you of."

"No, I need to think. You go back first and come back at dawn."

There were less than three hours left before dawn, and Chimei looked very tired. Yagyu Satoru still didn't force things, and besides, he really needed to be quiet.

Under Yagyu Satoru's repeated insistence, Chimei still turned around and left.

Yagyu Satoru sat alone in the office, looking at the list of the dead and their recent conditions investigated by the Hokage's office, and it was dawn before he knew it.

As the winter sky was cut open by a flash of white, Kirigakure Village, which should have been full of vitality, seemed to have fallen into the silence of another dimension.

No one came out to sell food on the streets, and those shops were not open for business. The whole land was lifeless.

Yagyu Satoru stood upstairs in the office, looking at the current situation of Kirigakure Village, feeling a little depressed.

He felt that time was almost up, so he took the documents related to the case and walked downstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw a "bump" of people at the door.

Yes, Zhimei may be too tired. Her legs are bent, but her upper body is on the ground, and her head rests on her arms. This position is uncomfortable at a glance. However, she sleeps so peacefully, even herself No one around me noticed it.

"Zhimei?"

Yagyu Satoru patted her, but there was no response. He simply picked her up and carried her to the sofa in the office.

Before leaving, Yagyu Satoru felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. When he looked back, Chimei was rubbing her eyes drowsily with her other hand.

"Um...Sir, is it dawn yet?"

Yagyu Shengwu said in a soft voice: "Well, it's daybreak. You can sleep a little longer. I'll go take a look inside the houses of the deceased."

"what!"

Chimei seemed to wake up at this moment, jumped up from the sofa, and subconsciously let go of the hand holding Yagyu Satoru's sleeve.

"My lord, I'm sorry. I overstepped my bounds."

Is she referring to the behavior of sleeping at the door, or the behavior of pulling on her sleeves while half asleep?

It seems there are.

Zhang stays with you all night long!

"You've worked hard too, I don't mean to blame you."

Zhimei's face turned red, she lowered her head and shouted softly: "Sir..."

"I'm going to visit the homes of the deceased now. If you don't want to sleep, come with me."

Seeing that she would not fall asleep again, he asked her to follow him and maybe take care of her for a while.

After all, he is Terumi Mei's person.

Next, Yagyu Satoru went to the homes of the deceased in order of death. Those who lived alone went to neighbors or close people to investigate.

Facts have proved that Kirigakure Village has found out everything that can be investigated, and the attitude of those who were questioned has changed from being cooperative at the beginning to being impatient. It is obvious that they have been asked many times.

"I've asked you so many times, have you ever caught a ghost?"

Many people have asked this question, but Yagyu Satoru has not been able to answer it. In this regard, he is even a little frustrated.

After going to so many scenes, he never felt a trace of evil spirit and resentment at the scene. People who died unnaturally will have resentment, which remains at the death scene or on the body of the murderer.

The smell is fishy and sweet, and no one with a sensitive nose can smell it, but Yagyu Satoru can smell it.He is good at dividing everything in this world into different elements, and these flavors are one of them.

But there are none of these scenes. Most of the corpses have been buried. There are no death scenes or cemeteries. This does not seem to be an unexpected death, or maybe... they don't know their death at all!

A strange coldness rushed from the soles of his feet to his brain. Standing at the crossroads, Yagyu Satoru looked around and felt that everything was unreal.It was almost noon, the fog had not lifted yet, and not many people were out on the streets.

It seems that this place has become a dead city because of a "ghost".

"My lord, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking about so-called 'ghosts'."

"Ah! There really is a ghost!"

There was something wrong in Zhimei's voice, and she belatedly covered her mouth, fearing that she would alarm the others and bring panic to them.

Yagyu Satoru said with some laughter and tears: "Which of your ears heard me say that there are ghosts? I mean, there are no ghosts in this world, but I don't deny that there are other unnatural forces, such as demons, or... Curses and the like, or some mutated creatures, these are all possible."

Every time Yagyu Satoru mentioned an option, Chimei's face became uglier.

These things beyond cognition are much scarier than "ghosts"!

Looking at Zhimei's expression, Yagyu Satoru knew that she was afraid of this.

"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no more people will die here."

"Even if you are here, maybe the dead will still die. After a few people died, everyone started to be on guard, but the dead will still die. You also saw one person recently. He slept with his family. When he woke up, Only his body was chewed into disfigurement, so what if there are people around? Wouldn't he still die the same way?"

These words are very pessimistic. Perhaps Zhimei's thoughts have been poisoned by the despair day after day.

Even she is like this, let alone those ordinary villagers.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer!

Terumi Mei slept for a whole day without waking up, and Terumi couldn't bear to take care of her anymore.

When night fell, Yagyu Satoru stood on the tallest building in the village, overlooking the entire village.

At night, Kirigakure Village was shrouded in fog, and his vision would be greatly blocked. He could only amplify his other senses, such as smell and hearing, as much as possible.

Swish-swish-meow!

This is the sound of a kitten getting ready to attack after it has targeted a certain prey.

A dog barked in the distance, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves. The dog, which did not know how to fear, finally added a bit of vitality to the village.

Everything he heard in his ears was messed up, and Yagyu Satoru could only place his hope on his sense of smell.

He still remembered the peculiar smell, the lingering smell of the scene.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance came!

It's sweeter and more fragrant than that smell, but the fishy smell is not that strong.

This smell was very similar to what was engraved in Yagyu Satoru's sense of smell. The moment he smelled it, he stood up suddenly and tried to distinguish the direction of the coming.

But, it’s not the same. What exactly is it that’s different?

Yagyu Satoru thought for a long time and came up with an inappropriate description.

——Updated, fresher!

There is no fermentation of the manager's time, and it is not blown away by the wind. The taste is stronger and fresher, as if it just appeared!

The "ghost" appeared!

The hairs all over Yagyu Satoru’s body stood up!Not fear, but excitement!

?Sand hob?Skeleton?Skeet??Sand hob?Skeleton?Concrete/p>

He was finally going to see the real murderer!

"Ahhh! Help!"
