Chapter 44 Speculation

One morning a few days later, Chiyo stood on the edge of a cliff with the blue sea in the distance.

The light was a little dim, and when I looked down, I saw a thick fog covering the mountainside, making it impossible to know what was under the cliff. He'd been searching back and forth in the mountains several times, but to no avail, and now the unlikely spot was the most probable.

"The mountain is very high, and it takes a long time to walk down." He shook his head, "Let's take a shortcut." ”

With that in mind, he spread his arms and observed the shape of the cliff below. After the calculation, he jumped slightly, and then his body fell like a bat against the mountain wall.

Being in the high mountains, the temperature is naturally extremely low, and the speed of falling is getting faster and faster, so he was quickly frozen to the point that his hands and feet were cold.

However, this does not affect his control over the chakra, which increases in concentration when encountering a raised rock, and then exerts force on his hands and feet, and his body moves away from the mountain wall, thus avoiding danger. When too far away from the mountain, the chakra will be controlled between the material and the immaterial, so the body will be dragged back closer to the mountain wall by the sticky drag.

When the sound of the wind in his ears was sharp enough to reach a certain point, he controlled his body and stopped, and then stuck to the mountain like a gecko. This is mainly to replace the gas in his lungs, and of course, to relieve his extremely low body temperature.

So chakra is a very interesting thing, and if it can be used flexibly like Chiyo, even if it only relies on its basic nature, it will have a lot of fun uses.

Half an hour later, he turned back the way he came, perpendicular to the mountain wall.

The Shigego clan will not live under the cliff, this is the conclusion he came to after investigating. Because there is only a very narrow beach there, it is not like a place where people can live.

So where are the people?

He stood on the cliff, looked at the sea and the rising sun, and then walked towards the forest behind him.

First of all, there is no possibility that there can be problems with intelligence. Chiyo can be sure of this, because it is given by the underground black market, and in this world, both ninjas and civilians should know how accurate the information on the underground black market is.

Of course, he doesn't trust an organization just because of a reputation, his trust actually comes from wandering ninjas who are linked to the black market. There are a large number of these people, and they are all over the ninja world, although their combat effectiveness is insufficient, but they are quite useful for inquiring about information.

Under the premise that the Chongwu clan must be in this mountain range, he still can't find it, which means that the place he is looking for is wrong.

Maybe they were hiding in a large cave or hollowing out a mountain, in which case Chiyo could find each other, but it would take him too much effort, after all, this is a mountain, and it would take him weeks just to walk through the surface of the mountain in a carpet style.

So now the only way to do this is to list all the clues, speculate on all the possibilities, and then according to the magnitude of the possibility, start the reverse experiment from the largest one until you succeed in finding those people.

Suddenly, an interesting question came to him: "How long has it been since I've tried this stupid method?" Then I recalled it in my mind, and told myself with some uncertainty: "Hundreds of years, or thousands of years?" ”

"521 years", in his spiritual world, the person located at the top of the tower said such a number.

It turned out to be more than 500 years old.

I feel that since his mental power has increased significantly, he doesn't seem to like to use his brain very much, because most things can be done by using the power given by his talent. So is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Thinking like this, he was thinking about the information about the Chongwu clan at the same time, in fact, it was very simple for him to do different things at the same time, because he only had to wake up the people at the bottom of the tower, and those people were completely himself.

Why did the people of that clan hide here, and be so careful to clean up all traces of their movements, as if they didn't want others to find out?

There may be an element of not wanting to hurt others, but it is more likely to protect yourself. Presumably they are very aware of the attraction of the huge power in their bodies to people with hearts, especially the five major powers, if they don't hide, then it is almost inevitable to be noticed by the big powers, and then they will be observed by living subjects, take some blood from time to time for testing, and conduct human experiments every three or five times, and they have to stay in the laboratory or prison cell for the rest of their lives.

From this point of view, to the extent that the ability allows, hollowing out the mountain is obviously more in line with the psychology of those people's hesitation. And the Chongwu clan obviously has that ability, and besides, the number of people in a clan should be relatively large.

Another piece of information is what the black market said, since the black market did not provide a specific location, then they must have seen the Chongwu people "outside" the mountain, and they also saw the process of going crazy. In other words, there will be Chongwu people going berserk outside.

And then there's the case of the Iwanami Crane before, and it is speculated that his teammate was eaten in front of his eyes. So why wasn't he eaten? Because of strength?

No, it's impossible, it's not that Chiyo looks down on each other, it's that this possibility is too low. You must know that the ninja village in Yunokuni is basically about to collapse, and the average level of ninjas there is far lower than that of ninjas in other countries.

It wouldn't be the one who ate people who suddenly had a kind heart, since he ate people, there was no reason for him to suddenly calm down. It is more likely that his people stopped him.

Then seeing that Iwanami Crane looked like he had gone crazy, he let him go, because it was unlikely that such a person would leak information.

In other words, these people didn't want to kill people in the first place. In that case, why watch your companions eat people? Presumably, they couldn't beat each other at first, and even the cannibal companion completely pressed them down, and there was still time to eat during the period.

Then, reinforcements came, and a multitude of clansmen worked together to subdue the mad man, and the matter was over.

Judging by the caution of those people, it makes little sense to find out where the incident took place, "that is. I'm going to go straight to their location and speculate. ”

When relying on those more likely "reasonable" speculations and not finding the information you need, the next step is to proactively add some less likely "variables".

"So will those people live together?" Chiyo thought about it, and then shook his head: "Whether it is a cannibalism, or a companion can't be suppressed, or the clansmen's reinforcements are slow, they tend to reflect that this is negative." ”

"But they must find out the abnormalities of the clansmen in time, and in order to stop them in time, they also require that each clansman be not too far away from the other clansmen."

"Also, this place needs to be located in the middle of the mountains to provide enough buffer area to prevent the mad people from rushing directly to the town."

After thinking for a moment, he seemed to think of a certain place, and then turned back.
