Senju Hashirama looked at his hands with a curious expression.

When he lost consciousness, he was the past Malika, and his physical appearance also reflected Malika's appearance. When he realized that he belonged to the future, he restored Malika's original appearance.

[Who are you? Damn it! Give my body back to me! ! ]

The real Malika was still cursing in his mind, and Hashirama Senju had a vague feeling of possessing someone else's body.

How amazing.

"Wait a minute, let's deal with that old Tom in there first, then we can talk about the body."

Senju Hashirama spoke to Melica in a good-tempered manner, and then he looked towards the dark doorway.

Although Hashirama Senju possessed Melica's body, he only got the memories of the last few days. For example, he knew that Melica, as a casino owner, actually had the ambition to become the boss of the underground forces in Tate Town. He also knew that Melica played an ignominious role in this mining accident.

The miners did find some strange things when they were mining the veins, but according to Malika's observation, when the person in charge of the mining company saw those strange things, he actually ordered the miners to dig deeper!

This shows that the mining company originally came here to mine not for the mineral veins, but for the things inside!

The mining company that came here to mine at first was just a small company, but with the development over the years, it has become a well-known large company in the vicinity, and its business is booming, so Malika has reason to believe that the owners of the mining company are very familiar with the things deep in the mineral veins, and they may even use this to become bigger and stronger and become mining tycoons.

Malika also wants to find that thing, seize the secret of the mining company, and become the master of Tate Town.

However, because the mining company blocked all information and hired a large number of people, the security work was done very well. Malika could not force people to enter and rob the mines, and could only find a way to deal with the miners.

As the boss of the underground casino in Tate Town, Malika also has connections with human traffickers and various black market merchants. He constantly purchases people from the outside world and sends them into the miners' group, trying to open up the front-line excavators.

He was very successful. Old Tom in front of us used to be a worker in the mine. Later he was promoted to foreman and managed two teams.

Although it was not Old Tom's team that went down to the mine when the mine accident occurred, as an insider, Old Tom must have had some way to get exclusive information.

So Malika gave Old Tom a large sum of money and asked him to find out the news.

Hunters from the association showed up tonight, and some people went to the bar to cause trouble. It was obvious that there would be many outsiders in Tate Town. Malika couldn't wait any longer and wanted to find Old Tom in person to get the news.

It just so happened that Senju Hashirama was a very mobile ninja, and he thought that with Izawa Sugi acting as a shield, it was a good opportunity to make contact, so he ran over in person.

Senju Hashirama figured out the whole story in a very short time. He remembered the content of the exam: to investigate the truth behind the destruction of Tate Town.

"Maybe Old Tom's change is related to my purpose."

How did Old Tom suddenly turn into black smoke? Considering the information recorded within the association, which said that Tate Town would be shrouded in thick black fog in five days, Senju Hashirama decided to find out what had happened to Old Tom.

The best way to deal with smoke is to use wind escape.

But since he is now using Old Tom's body, he can't use any ninjutsu except for the illusion created by mental power, so Senju Hashirama plans to use fire escape... Oh, no, it's setting fire.

Huh? Arson?

Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju subconsciously looked up to the east.

No wonder there was an explosion and a fire there. Was it another candidate who was taking action?

Senju Hashirama pulled out a gun from his waist with his backhand.

As the owner of the casino, Malika of course brought sharp weapons with him, but Hashirama Senju had no intention of firing a gun and forgot that he had a gun.

Senju Hashirama twitched his fingers and removed the bullet from the gun.

Malika couldn't help but say: [What are you going to do? ]

Senju Hashirama put away his gun and carefully looked at the bullets in his hand.

The bullet is filled with gunpowder, which is the easiest way to ignite it, but disassembling the bullet...

"Old Tom is a miner, so he should have tools at home."

Senju Hashirama put away the bullets and asked Melica, "You should have been to his house. Do you remember where he put his pliers?"

Malika trembled and asked: [What are you going to do? ]

Senju Hashirama smiled and said, "Set a fire and burn this black shadow to death."

Senju Hashirama's actions were very smooth. Although Malika was a little fat, with Senju Hashirama's superb avoidance and serpentine movement skills, he successfully rushed back to the room and got Old Tom's miner's tool box.

Hashirama Senju threw the box at the enemy and at the same time accurately grabbed a pair of pliers. He dodged while deftly disassembling the bullet and shaking out the gunpowder inside.

The next second, flames broke out and explosions roared. The roof of the already dilapidated old house was blown off in the explosion. The moonlight fell down, and at this moment, Hashirama Senju clearly saw the appearance of old Tom.

In Malika's memory, Old Tom was an old man with a shiny head, only a few strands of hair left on his temples, and a missing front tooth.

But the old man in front of Hashirama Senju had empty eyes, and his body was made up of numerous tiny insects that were too invisible to the naked eye. Shrouded in black shadows, the insects were as difficult to detect as mist when they dispersed.

When the fire broke out, the insects were engulfed in thick smoke and flames and quickly turned into ashes.

Ignoring the sound of Milica running in his mind, Hashirama Senju quickly checked the crumbling mansion.

He relied on his amazing intuition to look for something that made him uncomfortable and successfully found a box in the sewer of the mansion's toilet.

The box gave him a very bad feeling.

Senju Hashirama grabbed the box and turned and ran.

But he ran a little too late. The neighbors who heard the explosion came out of their homes and helped to put out the fire. Someone saw the fleeing Senju Hashirama and shouted, "Someone escaped!?"

"Who was it? Did he blow up Old Tom's house?"

"Catch him!"

Senju Hashirama ran away with his head in his hands, and luckily escaped from the pursuit of many people.

Senju Hashirama took advantage of the night and quietly hid in a safe house in Melica. He took out the box and examined it carefully. It was just an ordinary iron box. After pushing open the lid, he finally saw what was inside.

It was a skull the size of a palm, but there were densely packed tiny holes on the back of the head, as if needles had been pierced into it, or as if something had gnawed a passage through it.

Senju Hashirama just felt creepy and his scalp tingled.

What is this?

Senju Hashirama wanted to take this thing to find Izawa Sugi, but when he took a step to leave, his body actually swayed!

Senju Hashirama was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He raised his hand to his forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, old Melica is not young anymore."

This was not his body, and he no longer had the energetic state of an immortal body.

Not to mention that before, Hashirama Senju used this body to fight the old monster composed of black bugs for so long, and escaped from the pursuit and shouting of many people.

Senju Hashirama felt the limitations and helplessness of physical aging for the first time in a long time.

"…Forget it, let's take a nap first and go find Shan when the sun rises."

Izawa Sugi used transformation techniques to become a casino owner. Although it is unknown why the residents here have cognitive impairments and mistook Senju Hashirama's face for Old Marica, as a casino owner, Izawa Sugi should not be in danger and can even rest on Old Marica's luxurious big bed.

As for myself...

Hashirama Senju took a glance at the small single room and the wire single bed. Old Mailika's safe house focused on safety, and comfort was not a concern.

Senju Hashirama thought that Izawa Sugi should have rested well, but in fact Izawa Sugi did not rest since the second half of the night!

After Izawa Sugi found out that Hashirama Senju was missing, he wanted to go out and track him down, but soon another of his brothers came to him and said that something happened in the big theater in the East City District!

Along with my little report, there was a loud bang and an explosion was heard from the East City District. The flames shot up to the sky and anyone who was not blind could see it.

Ize Shan felt a little tired. He was just a fake casino owner. What did the explosion in the Dongcheng District Grand Theater have to do with him?

As a result, his younger brother told him that it was a killer, swindler and robber who had a close cooperative relationship with the casino owner who suddenly caused trouble.

"Mr. Paster has a show tonight. It's said that he's performing a melodramatic love drama based on a recent mining disaster. But halfway through the show, Mr. Paster suddenly says in a somewhat neurotic way that it's better to perform a magic show on the spot. Then the prop gun in his hand turns into a real gun, and he actually starts killing people on the spot!"

It took Izawa Shan a few seconds to understand the cause and effect of his younger brother's words.

It turns out that the casino owner Malika is also the middleman for some thugs, killers, swindlers and robber leaders in Tate Town. After all, he is the owner of the Wildcat Bar and has a lot of intelligence.

Old Malika used his intermediary status to maintain good relationships with many people. This man named Pastor was exactly the strongest killer represented by Old Malika. The point is, in order to show off his power, everyone in Tate Town knew that Old Malika was the agent of the strongest killer!!

Now that Paster, the most powerful killer, has suddenly started a killing spree, some people naturally think that old Melica knows the inside story and the reason.

I came to warn Malika, "Boss, what should we do? Should we help Paster clean up the mess? Or should we cut ties with him immediately?"

Izawa Sugi was secretly plotting against Hashirama Senju, but at the critical moment he threw the bad deal to him. Where was Hashirama Senju going?

At the same time, he said calmly: "Cut off all contact with Paster and burn all related intelligence information! We were just threatened by Paster before! If we don't listen to him, he will kill us! We are also victims!"

I looked at Izawa Sugi with admiration and quickly ran to collect the evidence.

Then another little brother came running over and said, "Boss! The police are here! They want you to go to the police station!"

Yi Zeshan took a deep breath and said calmly, "Don't panic, I'll be there right now. You are not allowed to cause any trouble before I come back. The bar is closed during the day. Everything will be settled after I come back."

It just so happened that Izawa Sugi also wanted to go to the police station to investigate the situation. He planned very well, and as soon as he left the police station, he immediately canceled his transformation technique and escaped.

Casino owner? Who is that? He doesn't know him!

Ize Shan got into the police car and followed the police to the police station in the town of Tate. He waited in an empty room for a long time until dawn, when the chief of the police station pushed open the door and walked in.

Ize Sugi cheered himself up and tried to show off his acting skills, saying that he was wronged and knew nothing.

But when he saw the police chief, he was stunned.

Kuroro Lusilu, wearing a black police uniform, a wide-brimmed hat, a black coat, a gun at his waist, and high-top leather boots, walked up to him with an imposing manner.

Kuroro seemed very angry. He looked down at Ize Shan and said in a deep voice, "Malika, you are so bold to do such a big case in the place where gentlemen from the East District gather! Paster killed at least twenty people!"

Ize Shan opened his mouth, but facing Kuroro's righteous and stern face, he couldn't utter a word.

"Don't think that your little tricks can help you escape the punishment of the law! Tell me the truth! Who is Paster's real identity? How do you contact him?"

"I know you have most of the trash and hooligans in Tate Town under your control and think you can do whatever you want."

Kuroro raised his hand to adjust the brim of his hat and said, "But here, I am the one who is right!"

Izawa Sugi: “…”
