Kakashi Hachiki, as a member of the Hokage's direct shadow department, this time the task of investigating the ogres was given to his four-person team to be in charge.

He arrived in the town in the afternoon.

At first glance, the streets are bustling with people, but most of the residents seem to be nervous and don't have much to do with small talk.

Without the harmonious sounds of everyday life, the residents who come and go but are reluctant to say a word add to the eerie atmosphere of the town.

Kakashi looked up at the sky and deduced that it would be at least three or four hours before it got dark.

According to the 'rumors of cannibals' he had received, these so-called cannibals only haunt at night, and there was no need to be so fearful during the day.

Could it be that the situation here has developed so badly?

Whether it is the ninjas of Konoha or the residents of Konoha, they will not leave the village under normal circumstances, and the people in their village are not sensitive to changes in the outside world.

"Qing, you go to the town to search for information."

"Naiquan, Linjiao, you and I will go with me to search the nearby cave where the target may be hiding."

Since ogres wreak havoc in the town at night, they certainly don't hide too far during the day.

Most likely, it was hiding in a cave somewhere outside the town.

After a brief division of labor, the search for the cannibal immediately began.

They searched all the caves within a certain distance of the town, not even the entrances that could only be accessed by one child.

But until night fell, they found nothing.

The rumored ogre didn't stay in the cave outside the town.

Haru is in the city to investigate uninhabited empty houses or families who have been harmed recently.

After some investigation, he also understood why the town was so dead.

In just the last seven days, more than a dozen people have been killed in their homes, all of them killed by sneak attacks while sleeping, and their bodies are covered with wounds.

But these people strangely showed no sign of resistance.

During this period, there was no abnormal noise, and no traces of any outside objects were found inside or outside the house.

Other than that, no one has been heard of being killed outside of sleep.

There was one who died in a completely different way from these people, but his killer was quickly caught.

After some inquiry, I learned that the murderer and the deceased originally had a feud, and in this period when the rumors of ghosts were circulating, the murderer felt that his opportunity had come, so he wanted to take the opportunity to kill his enemy and blame the rumored ghosts.

However, his skills were not perfect, and even if he attacked while the deceased was sleeping, he was not able to kill him with a single sword. The severe pain caused the deceased to wake up violently, and then he used all his strength to fight the murderer.

It's a pity that in the end, he was too weak because of blood loss, and the murderer seized the opportunity to understand with a knife.

Although the murderer then placed the deceased in a peaceful sleeping position, the traces of the fight in the room were something he could not erase.

With the appearance of this ghost, the people of the town must not only be careful of the presence of ghosts, but also beware of enemies taking the opportunity to do something to themselves.

After a long time, because of excessive anxiety, the mental state also declined.

That's what they saw when they first entered the town.

Before night fell completely, the four members of Kakashi's team gathered at the agreed place and exchanged information with each other.

Kakashi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then made a decision.

This so-called 'man-eater' is very well hidden, either he is a homicidal expert who specializes in cleaning crime scenes, or he uses some special ability to kill people in the air.

He had thought that the intelligence of ogres would not be too high, and that most of them were special monsters that appeared for some reason, and these monsters might be more like beasts than humans.

But neither the first nor the second possibility is something that a beast would have.

On this first night, Kakashi decided to go with the first possibility.

Even a murder expert who is very good at cleaning up traces will definitely leave clues along the way.

Tonight they split into two groups and went into the city to monitor.

As specially trained shadow ninjas, they are able to spot many traces that ordinary people can't find, and the possibility of tracking down their targets is relatively high.

If there is no harvest tonight, then the next day it will be investigated according to the second possibility of having special abilities.

Kakashi wished it wasn't the second.

They hadn't found any clues left by the other party before, and if the other party had the ability to kill people in the air, then this mission would be extremely difficult to investigate.

Kakashi himself formed a team with Naquan and was responsible for monitoring the northern part of the town. Eight of the dozen or so previous incidents occurred in the north.

The selection of targets is almost irregular, and it is not possible to determine the next victim based on the common denominator of the previous deceased.

If anything, what they have in common may be that they are both sleeping?

It doesn't make much sense.

With so much going on, there are some ordinary people who are no longer afraid to sleep at night, they choose to reverse day and night, sleeping during the day and staying awake at night.

At least this part of the population has not yet died.

This has also led more people to choose to join the ranks of day and night reversal.

If they had come a few days late, they might not have seen a few people who chose to go out during the day.

"Uhh!!h

A man's howl of pain echoed across the street, and Kakashi and the two heard it and hurried to check on the situation.

When I arrived, I found out that it was two big living people fighting in a room, and one of them had lost to the opponent and had fallen into disadvantage.

That man is going to kill people, and his hands are all dead hands.

If there was a knife by his side, he would not hesitate to stab the person he had beaten violently.

'Is it another murderer who wants to blame the ogre?'

Kakashi was disappointed.

The teammates next to him looked at him as if asking 'do you want to help'.

Kakashi shook his head.

They are the shadows, and they can not expose themselves, and it is better not to expose them. Choosing to strike at this kind of love-hate relationship between civilians will only continue to cause extraneous consequences.
