Aoba's words directly broke the two prisoner's defenses.
They immediately realized that they still needed a day to get out of this hell-like Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Although it was only a day, they had a feeling.
This day would be great torture.
Both physically and mentally, it was very uncomfortable.
Thinking of this.
They wanted to cry but had no tears.
Now, they only hoped that there would be fewer prisoners here today.
After observing the previous day, they had already grasped the rules. Only when the new prisoner was brought in would this cat-faced demon give them harsh torture.
But when no one came, this cat-faced demon had no intention of attacking them and even treated them to relieve some of their pain.
This feeling was very strange.
However, they could understand.
After all.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
If the monkey had not appeared yet.
There was no point in killing the chicken!
He couldn't kill the chicken before the monkey appeared!
...
After a minute.
The guards of Konoha's prison came over. This time, only two people were brought, and the leader was the guard leader.
After the guard leader came over, he waved to the guards behind him, signaling them to tie the two people up.
The two prisoners who were waiting for the interrogation looked in the direction of Aoba as they walked into the compartment. They immediately turned pale when they saw the cat face pattern on Aoba's mask.
When the guard leader saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He had been a guard for so many years.
This was the first time he had seen such a scene.
Even Konoha Military Police Force or the prison did not seem to have this kind of pressure.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The leader of the guards cleared his throat and looked at Aoba. His gaze circled around Aoba's mask several times.
"If I'm not wrong, the rumored cat-faced demon in the village is you!"
A smile appeared on the face of the guard leader behind the mask.
Since the start of the war.
The crime rate in the village suddenly increased.
The more chaotic the situation was the more people who took advantage of the chaos appeared.
But...
This situation continued for ten days.
The village's crime rate suddenly dropped, and the extent of the reduction was extremely exaggerated. After many people in prison were released, a piece of news made the repeated offenders fear.
A cat-faced demon appeared in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
The people who entered Konohagakure Intelligence Division for the second time would face terrifying torture.
Whether it was the tortured people or the people who witnessed the torture, it was as if a deep imprint had been left in their souls.
It was with the release of these people from prison.
There were more and more legends about the cat-faced demon in the village circle.
Hurry up and switch professions!
We can't continue in this line of work...
If they hadn't met the cat-faced demon before, there would still be a chance, but there would be great horror if they met the cat-faced demon again.
.......
No one knew Aoba's name.
But in this circle that often mingled in prison...
The reputation of the cat-faced demon began to become familiar.
As soon as the guard leader said this.
The two prisoners who had just been tied up immediately trembled. They had already had a physiological reaction just from hearing the nickname "Cat Face Demon".
Their faces were pale, their hearts were beating faster, and their breathing was difficult...
These symptoms appeared on their bodies, making them feel like they were in the depths of hell. They looked at the guards as if they were begging, hoping to be changed.
"I have never heard of this name."
Aoba shook his head lightly. He did not deny the identity of the cat-faced demon but expressed that he did not know about it.
"Hahahahaha..."
The guard leader immediately raised his head and laughed. He turned to the two people who were tied up the day before, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
"This is your second time here, right?"
The cold voice of the guard leader was like a sharp sword that wanted to pierce through their souls.
However.
This level of reprimand.
They no longer felt any fear toward it.
Right now, they were in hell.
In front of them stood the demon in charge of hell.
They saw the demon.
Would they be afraid of humans who only knew how to bluff?
The two criminals looked up at the guard leader and nodded unwillingly.
They did not dare to offend the guard leader.
It was not that the guard leader was terrifying, but that they hoped that the guard leader would take them away now.
If they offended the guard leader.
Even if they wrote a confession letter and were left here, they will fall into the abyss of despair again.
"You won't dare to come again, right?"
The guard leader said meaningfully. He had thought of many ways before, but he didn't think it would cause any changes to the crime rate.
After the First Hokage and Second Hokage left the world, the village became like this.
Many regulations are just empty and have no binding force.
The village from the original big family gathered together, and guarding each other turned into infighting.
Of course.
Ordinary people would not be able to see this sort of thing.
Many children were still born in the sun, and they felt the warmth of the village.
They could not see the dark side of the village.
However, for the guard leader, his profession and the environment he was in made him always look at Konohagakure on a different level.
The brighter it was on the surface, the more dirty and messy it was in the dark.
However.
This situation.
He had not expected it.
It was actually slowly relaxing in this way.
The cat-faced demon!
The appearance of this terrifying figure caused those criminals to have misgivings when doing bad things, and the way they treated the Konohagakure Intelligence Division was like looking at hell.
"I will never dare to come again!"
"I will be a good person after I go out!"
After hearing the question of the guard leader, the two prisoners suddenly had an idea, as if they saw an opportunity to go out.
It seemed...
This guard leader had the intention to take them away.
"Hahahahaha!"
When the guard leader saw their expectant eyes, how could he not understand what they meant? He directly shook his head in front of them.
"It's useless for you to beg me!"
The guard leader spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture. He was in a good mood today. Recently, the crime rate has constantly been decreasing. This also caused his workload to start decreasing.
"This is your second time here. It's useless to look for me. How long will it take for you to get out of here? How many complete parts will you have left when you come out? That will depend on your luck..."
The guard leader said meaningfully. He was also happy to help Aoba manage this cat-faced demon's character. This would not only be a blow to the village's crime rate, but it would also help the village develop in a better direction. It would also reduce his workload.
"The one before you was interrogated here for ten days. When we take him back, I take a look, tsk tsk tsk..."
The guard leader began to threaten. His words were quite effective and instantly attracted the attention of the four prisoners here.
"Guess what..."
"None of you can imagine it!"
"That person was fine when he came. There was no problem at all."
"He turned into a woman when he went out!"
When the guard leader said this, he raised his hand and pointed below him. Then, he turned his hand into a knife and made a cutting motion.
"It's gone!"
"That thing is gone!"
"Don't you think it's scary?"
The guard leader said emotionally. Although the few prisoners present could not see his expression, everyone shivered at the same time.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
So he was such a cat-faced demon!
Heavens!
All of a sudden.
As the few of them sighed in their hearts.
They all felt their bodies tighten as if something would be cut off at any time. Their faces became even paler, and they were all frightened by the words of the guard leader.
When the guard leader saw the reaction of these people, his mood immediately became better. He had been unable to find a way to deal with these criminals, and now he had found an opportunity.
Evil people still needed to be ground by evil people!
This cat-faced demon was an existence even more terrifying than Konohagakure criminal!
"This is not the end..."
The corner of the guard leader's mouth curled up slightly. Facing the four most annoying gazes, he felt quite proud in his heart. He said again, "That person became stupid as soon as he arrived in the cell. Every day, he foams at the mouth and doesn't even know who his own mother is. He ate and vomited every day. I'm afraid he won't be able to last much longer."
"Hiss..."
When the guard leader said this, the four prisoners inside the compartment gasped.
Especially the two people who came here for the second time.
They all felt chills all over their bodies.
"Hahahahaha!"
When the guard leader saw the frightened appearance of these four people, the wicked taste in his heart was immediately satisfied, and his heart was extremely comfortable.
"That's it."
"I'm leaving."
"I'll leave them to you."
"Mr. Cat Face Demon!"
When the guard leader left the compartment, he deliberately emphasized the title that Aoba had recently obtained.
In an instant.
The four criminals became even more frightened.
After that.
The guard leader left with the guards.
They had just walked out of the compartment.
The guard leader looked at the guards next to him and whispered.
"In the future, if you encounter troublesome criminals, unhappy criminals, and criminals who dare to resist you, send them here and let them know the danger of Konohagakure Intelligence Division!" The guard leader said.
"Yes!" The guards immediately responded.
"Sigh, what evil thoughts can we guards have? Aren't we just helping those habitual criminals change their ways and start anew?" The guard leader sighed and led the guards away.
...
The compartment.
Aoba's gaze fell on the two new prisoners who were waiting for interrogation.
"Is this your first time?"
Aoba asked casually. When the guard leader said those words, he seemed to have realized his opinion. He could better complete his work in his post and bring positive influence to Konohagakure's public security.
In that case.
Then the title of the cat-faced demon.
It could still be used.
At the very least, he felt pretty good right now.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Me too. Me too..."
The two prisoners who had just been brought in nodded repeatedly. This was the first time they had come in front of the cat-faced demon. They did not want to face such a terrifying event.
"I see."
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly behind the mask. This feeling of deterrence was very good. It could be said that he was quite accomplished in the field of his work.
Then.
Aoba took a step forward and walked towards the two recently tied-up people until he was in front of them.
He stood in front of one of them.
He did not say a word.
That pair of pitch-black eyes looked through the peephole of the cat face mask and stared at that person.
"I... I... I..."
The prisoner who Aoba was staring at could not help but tremble. He had no idea what this interrogator ninja, who was called a cat-faced demon in front of him, was going to do.
However, his heart was already beginning to bear huge pressure.
Suddenly.
It was at this time.
Aoba slowly raised his right hand and touched this person's head.
As soon as this action was executed.
This prisoner was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
He couldn't take it anymore.
He wanted to dodge, but he didn't dare to. Moreover, he was tied up and couldn't dodge at all.
This kind of helplessness was like a knife stabbing into his heart, twisting and turning.
"I... I really did it for the first time!"
This person finally could not bear the pressure in his heart and quickly explained to Aoba. His eyes flashed with panic, afraid that the cat-faced demon in front of him would mistake him for a repeat offender.
Tap!
Aoba's right hand patted the head of this person.
At this moment.
This person's body trembled, and the fear in his heart reached its limit, and he was about to pass.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Chakra Increase!"
A crisp electronic prompt sounded in Aoba's mind, followed by a memory load into his mind.
Aoba did not look at this person anymore but walked toward another person.
In an instant.
The prisoner who had just been waiting to be interrogated heaved a sigh of relief. His entire body was numb.
After regaining his senses.
He found that his crotch was wet.
However, he could not care less about the awkwardness. He was extremely glad that the cat-faced demon in front of him no longer stared at him.
That kind of oppression was too terrifying!
As Aoba walked towards the second person, the second prisoner who was tied up began to tremble.
Aoba also did not say a word. He stopped in front of the latter and raised his right hand to touch the latter's head.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Chakra Increase!"
Another crisp electronic prompt sounded.
Another memory was added to Aoba's brain.
"En."
Aoba nodded lightly. Both of them were right. It was indeed their first time coming to him in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Mind Reading System.
Aoba did not need to remember the other person's appearance to determine whether the other party was the first time coming to Konohagakure Intelligence Division or not.
To be able to read memories, it must be the first time.
Those who couldn't read their memories were likely to be repeat offenders who had been here once.
Of course.
Aoba didn't just read their memories here. He also read the memories of many people on the street.
At that time, he didn't see the existence of the crime in their memories, but he couldn't guarantee that he would misjudge them for the first time...
Then he can only wish them good luck!
Aoba felt that if that person he read when he was harvesting the camera. During this time, that person committed a crime and was caught and sent to him then was mistaken to be the second time he came here...
Since this kind of small probability could happen to that person, then he could only say that he was unlucky!
After confirming that these two people were both the first time, Aoba turned to look at the two people who were going to be handed over tonight.
Now the monkey had arrived.
The chicken had to be killed!
Suddenly.
Under the gaze of the four people, Aoba walked toward one of the two people. At some point in time, a sharp kunai appeared in his hand.
"Ah... ow... ah... ow..."
Screams rang out from Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment. These screams came from the chicken that Aoba had especially left here.
From these sounds...
It was still quite tragic!
...
A day passed quickly.
Of course.
This was very fast for Aoba.
Every second of these two criminals who had become chickens was like a year. After a day of torture, they had almost exhausted all of their strength.
"Now, I am going to send you to prison."
Aoba said coldly to the two of them while holding their confession letters.
After all, these two were Konohagakure's people.
Punishment for two days.
It was almost enough.
With Aoba's constant accumulation of experience in this job, he also had some selfish motives. In his heart, he divided the ranks of these prisoners.
The lowest level was the first time the prisoners came. They were given a chance and would not receive physical punishment, but more like a mental shock.
Next was the second time the prisoners came. They would be subjected to both physical and mental abuse but considering that they were Konohagakure's people, he would not go too far. Two days of torture would be enough.
Then there were the people who came from the outside village to commit crimes. Most of these people were bullying people. They believed that they were from the outside village with money on their hands. They could get rid of the disaster as long as they took the money. Based on the second time rule, Aoba would directly deal with these kinds of people and torture them for two more days.
Finally...
That's the kind of spy from the other village who can't be seen once in a few months.
If Aoba were to encounter them.
There would be no chance at all.
Aoba could guarantee that they would be able to get out alive, but if they were still normal people after going out, then he wouldn't care.
...
Aoba did not leave the compartment.
Today, he had read a total of seven people's memories.
These people were all here for the first time.
Instead, he saw a lot of things in their memories.
"Let me take a closer look at the changes in the village..."
Aoba closed his eyes and pressed his hands on his temples. He searched through the memories of the people he had read just now.
These people were like cameras that had been delivered to his door. They had specially sent the contents recorded to Aoba.
They were normal people.
It was the first time they had made a mistake, and there were many recent situations of Konohagakure in their memory.
He could just see what kind of state Konohagakure had been in under the background of the outbreak of war recently.
"These people met me just after making a mistake for the first time. They are so lucky. After going out, they can start anew." Aoba sighed lightly.
