Although they were wearing the clothes of the Society Commissioners, they looked obviously tougher than the Deputy Society Commissioners.
The one riding in the front was none other than Kamisato Ayato.
"Wait a moment!"
Before entering the village, Kamisato Ayato raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop.
After getting off the horse, Kamisato Ayato did not go directly into the village, but looked at the ditch on the side of the road.
In the ditch, a young man was slumped in the flowing water with his head hung. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, he might have been mistaken for a dead man.
"Check it out."
After trying to call out a few times, Kamisato Ayato finally gave up.
At his command, two ninjas dressed as acting magistrates of the society jumped into the ditch and lifted the young man up.
After he was lifted up, the doctor accompanying the team immediately checked his physical condition.
"The master, like the other brothers, just fell asleep, nothing serious."
After the examination, the doctor gave his diagnosis.
What else
Their breathing was even, and there were no signs of being attacked or even poisoned.
Apart from lethargy, he could not think of any other symptoms.
"Put him together with the others first, and then we'll go into the village and take a look."
Waving his hand, signaling to carry the young man away, Kamisato Ayato looked towards the quiet village.
When I came here before, although this modern village was not very lively, I could still see some old people and children.
But today
Not to mention people, even the big yellow dog at the village entrance that could chase him for several miles didn't make any movement.
"Yes! Master of the family!"
The two last ninjas guarding the young man saluted, then carried the young man and walked towards the back of the team.
When they reached somewhere near the middle, they put the young man on a carriage.
In this carriage, there were at least five sleeping people neatly stacked.
These people were dressed differently, including farmers, warriors, and even members of the sea ghosts and treasure robbers.
But they also have a common identity—undercover agents for the final episode.
But now, they were all in a coma and could not be awakened.
“Patta, patta…”
The sound of horse hooves stepping on the stone road and the sound of the community officials moving forward could be heard far away in this not-so-big village.
Normally, if this situation occurred, the people in the house should have come out long ago.
But until they reached the center of the village, the villagers did not react at all.
Kamisato Ayato didn't say anything. He held the Hadetsu Hakujin around his waist and winked at the people around him.
The man understood and gestured to the team behind him.
Dozens of ninja dressed as the last ninja in the society's magistrate's office quietly dismounted from their horses, holding ninja swords in their hands, and entered the surrounding houses one by one.
As the last ninja of the series, they already knew the situation in Konda Village very well. They knew which house was occupied and which house was abandoned.
About ten minutes later, they carried dozens of unconscious villagers out of the house one by one, either on their backs or on shoulders.
Then they were placed one by one on the mat that Kamisato Ayato had ordered to be laid on the ground after they entered the house.
His eyes scanned the faces of these people one by one, and finally stopped beside a man with white hair and beard.
Compared with others, he is more special in both body shape and clothing.
On the resolute face, there is only a faint loneliness and endless stories.
"Even Teshima didn't escape?"
He squatted down and took a quick look at the situation on Teshima.
Kamisato Ayato discovered that even he had no signs of fighting on his body.
It was as if... ... he was knocked down in an instant by some means.
He could understand why other people were devastated like this.
But why didn't Teshima show any signs of resistance
You have to know that he is not an ordinary person, he is the owner of the Eye of God and a genuine original god. ωω
His rich combat experience has to be taken seriously even if Kamisato Ayato faces him in person.
But even such a person was defeated just like any other ordinary person without any ability to fight back.
What on earth is causing this trouble
Chapter 891 The Source of the Mutation
The final group acted quickly. After setting up simple camps in several unused houses in the village, they began to check the situation in the village.
"Master, it is now basically certain that the source is Konda Village."
After handing over the final report to Kamisato Ayato, the person dressed as the company magistrate spoke up.
The speed of the Final Investigation was very fast. Before the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo could figure out the situation, they had already determined the approximate range through investigations from all sides and found the source of the strange sound.
It sounds difficult, but in fact, over the years, Kamisato Ayato has already used his own means to place the last ninjas in various places in Inazuma.
It is very easy to figure this out in a short time.
"Konda Village..."
Kamisato Ayato simply sorted out the documents in his hand, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Others only know that Konda Village was once the production place of imperial dyes, but with the passage of time, it has long lost its former glory.
But through some of the family's secrets, he still knows some things that ordinary people don't know.
For example, what Konda Village has been protecting.
Is it possible
Unfortunately, the things passed down in the family did not record where the barrier was, otherwise he would definitely go and take a look.
"By the way, how is Aratake Ichito doing?"
Speaking of Konda Village, Kamisato Ayato thought of his "good brother".
He is an extremely simple person.
Kamisato Ayato met him because of a game called fighting insects.
He makes the docile beetles fight each other. I have to say that guy is a very interesting person.
After realizing his identity as a demon, Kamisato Ayato began to mention Konda Village to him intentionally or unintentionally.
To be honest, he wanted to personally protect Konda Village.
Unfortunately, this place is directly under the management of the Kande Bugyo, and if he intervenes, it would be like overstepping one's authority.
But he couldn't stand Kan Ding's laissez-faire attitude.
So he had to find another way and try to make Arotaki Ichito the "protector" of Konda Village.
In fact, Aradaki Ichito did not disappoint him. According to the report of the last ninja, he and his brothers repelled several attacks by the Nobushige.
The price Konda Village paid was just some fresh violets.
"As for that ghost tribe... He has been in Inazuma City these past few days."
There is no need to seriously investigate the news about Aradaki Ichito.
If Bai Luo's whereabouts are elusive, it is impossible to catch him at all.
Then Aradaki Ichito is at the other extreme.
His striking horns and loud voice make him the focus wherever he goes.
Finding him... ... is as easy as finding a Zhongli among a group of Klees.
"He actually went to Inazuma Castle?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Kamisato Ayato looked a little surprised.
Although Aratake Ichito is a simple guy, he is easily deceived.
But by his side, he had a very smart military advisor—Kuki Shinobu.
He could feel that this girl who hid herself behind the mask must have realized why he wanted to lure Arataki Ichito to Konda Village.
But she did not expose herself, instead she spared no effort to make this happen.
That's right, ever since Aratake Ichito's Eye of God was confiscated by Kujo Sara, the Lord of Heaven, he has often caused trouble for the other party.
Rather than letting this big guy stay in Inazuma City and cause trouble, it is better to confine him in the White Fox Wilderness and keep him away from Inazuma City, a place of trouble, on the pretext of protecting one's own territory.
However... ... considering the current situation in Inazuma, he probably guessed why Aradaki Ichito would go back to Inazuma Castle.
It should be because of the adopted daughter of Tengu, Kujo Sara, who was the guardian of Tenryo Bugyo.
Some time ago, the shogunate army and the rebels were fighting back and forth, but recently, for some unknown reason, the two sides actually had a short truce.
And Kujo Sara, who had been leading the troops on the front lines, finally had the opportunity to return to Inazuma Castle.
Given the old man Kujo Takayuki's flamboyant personality, how could he miss this opportunity
On the night that Kujo Sara decided to come back, Tenryo Bugyo had already posted the news of the triumphant return of General Tengu on the bulletin board of Hanamizaka.
In addition, the younger brothers of the Arotaki faction always like to go to the bulletin board to see if their boss has been on the "Honor Roll" because of some "great achievements". It is not surprising that this news would reach Arotaki Ichito's ears.
Fortunately, because of this incident, Aratake Ito went to Inazuma Castle and escaped the disaster.
Otherwise, there would definitely be an Arata Ichito among the group of people lying outside.
"Master, the investigation is almost complete."
Just as Kamisato Ayato was discussing relevant matters with his subordinates, there was a slight knock on the door outside.
The people he had sent to search Konda Village had returned with news.
"Did you find anything?"
After calling the man in, Kamisato Ayato asked.
The previous commotion was so big, he didn't think there would be no trace left.
"Yes, please look at this."
As the subordinate spoke, he presented a heavy bag of Mora.
If it were someone else, he would probably have already started scolding his subordinates.
But he was the one who raised the Mora himself, so he knew very well that there must be something different about this bag of Mora.
"Where did you find it?"
Although Kamisato Ayato's social magistrate is not in charge of finances, he is quite sensitive to things like Mora.
After weighing it carefully, I realized that this bag of Mora was worth at least tens of thousands.
"Found it in the living room of the Shibamon family."
"In the living room..."
When she heard that it was found in the living room, Kamisato Ayato realized that there was something wrong.
Due to the decline of the dye industry, most of the young people in Konda Village have left, and only the elderly, the weak, women and children are left.
The money these old people earned with great difficulty was usually placed in clay jars or buried deep in boxes. It was impossible for them to put it in such a conspicuous place, let alone in such a good silk bag.
So this thing
"Um?"
