Control the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer: Blade

This is one of Horitake's most curious questions.

Why did the ghost catch these children and not eat them?

For Horidake's question, these children seemed to be difficult to answer, they were very entangled one by one, and then replied:

"That monster really likes to eat people, we have seen this."

"Yes, every three or five I have to eat someone, bloody, it scares me."

"Why she didn't eat us, we don't know."

"Yes, don't eat us, but raise us by her side."

"Maybe it's because we're kids?"

"I don't know, we don't dare to ask, after all, if we ask, what if she really eats us?"

Hori was keenly aware of their words and interrupted the children:

"Wait! You guys say... She?

(In Japanese, he and she are pronounced differently.)

Several children nodded their heads to indicate that it was indeed her.

Horitake continued to ask suspiciously:

"She is a female ghost, should this female ghost be a half-human, half-snake ghost?"

Several children were shocked:

"You... How do you know!?

Horitake was also a little skeptical now.

It's impossible, wasn't the snake ghost of the Ihei Xiaobane family killed by Purgatory Kyoshiro and his father? Why did a snake ghost appear again, and also cut the faces of these children?

Horitake was in doubt, and among these children, one of the most cowardly looked children, weakly raised his hand, and said cautiously:

"I... I seem to know why... Don't eat us. The

eyes of Horitake, Miri, and the other children all focused on this timid child, who was watched by everyone and became even more nervous.

Miri played a role at this time, stepped forward, and Sang White Face and Red Face with Horigaku, and she asked the child as gently as possible:

"Don't be afraid, tell me what you know."

After hesitating, the child whispered

, "Sometimes, that monster... It's the ghost that talks to itself nervously, nervously.

Because I was closer to her at the time, I heard some of her talking to herself.

Her words were messy, and I don't remember exactly, but I still remember the general meaning, that is....

It seems that this ghost treats us as her brother, and what else to say, his brother's face is like this, so he cuts our faces like this..."

Saying that, the child became more and more depressed, covering his split face, falling into autism and depression.

Horigaku's eyes widened, and Miri's mouth opened wide.

This sentence, the amount of information is a bit big!

The half-human, half-snake female ghost took these children back and raised them instead of eating them because this ghost was a little sick and regarded these children as her younger brothers.

And his younger brother has a split serpentine mouth, so this female ghost also cut the faces of these children!

Then the younger brother of that female ghost is....

Horitake and Miri looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

The younger brother of this half-human, half-snake female ghost could be... Ihei Kobane!

In other words, this female ghost is the only survivor of the Ihei family, the cousin of Ihei Xiaobane!

The people of the Ihei family are basically scum, and although Ihei's cousin survived, she blamed the reason for the family's annihilation on the escaped Ihei Xiaobane!

If it is said that Cousin Ihei became more and more paranoid and psychopathic afterwards, and then accidentally turned into a ghost, and also became the kind of half-human, half-snake ghost that his family worships...

That makes sense! That makes sense!

Horitake felt that his guess was very likely,

and if this was the case, Ikuro Xiaobane was a little pitiful.

Although Ihei Xiaobane has long been separated from his own scum family.

Even if Ihei Xiaobane and his cousin have no feelings, no more contact.

But...... After all, the only blood relative in the world has become a ghost, and has also become a ghost who mutilates others.

This snake pillar is really a little miserable.

For a while, the amount of information was too large, thinking too much, and guessing was a little amazing, so that Horigaku's brain could not process it.

He pressed his forehead, calmed down, and continued to ask:

"So, the reason why that female snake ghost caught you but didn't eat you was because she raised you as her younger brother.

Well, it sounds outrageous, but the spirit of the ghost is not normal, and it is understandable that this logic is smooth.

In other words, you have been living by the side of ghosts before, you can't escape death, and you have been trapped in the horror that life is better than death, right?

The children nodded one after another, looking like they understood Long live.

"So where is that female snake ghost?"

The eldest kid pointed in a direction outside Kusatsu County:

"It's a long walk from here in the mountains over there."

Immediately afterward, Horitake asked the children, another question they wanted to ask the most:

"So what are you doing in Kusatsu County?"

Horitake spoke in a serious tone, looking at these children with a stern face:

"I originally thought that you were from Kusatsu County, and you were controlled by a ghost, and you carried empty baskets one by one, and you went to the mountains to do something conspiratorial.

Now it seems that this is not the case, and the opposite should be true.

You were originally in the mountains with the ghosts, and you were ordered by the ghosts to come to Kusatsu County to do something, but it was getting late, and you, who had already done these things, were trying to go back to the mountains and return to the ghosts.

Unfortunately, I stopped me.

Horitake looked at the children sternly:

"What does the ghost order you to do?" What did you do in Kusatsu-gun during the day? What was originally in the empty back basket behind you?

Tell me them all clearly! "

Hori has a hunch, this matter is definitely not simple!

Miri is also aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Kusatsu County is a large town with developed tourism, and there are ghosts who want to do something to Kusatsu County.

If the ghost is really allowed to succeed, there will definitely be a big turmoil in Kusatsu County!

Mi Li was not soft in the face of these children, she also frowned, and looked at these children sternly.

These children shivered, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

Horitake was very "kind" to help them start: "

From the beginning of the matter, how did you get ordered by the ghost, what happened in the first place?"

Hesitation panicked for a while, but the eldest child stood up, and he struggled with the wording:

"What is going on, we don't know, we are just following orders, if we don't do what they order, our lives will be in danger."

Horitake keenly spotted the child's words: they.

It seems that the people who ordered these children were not snakes and ghosts, but several ghosts.

But Horitake didn't interrupt him, and the eldest child said as he thought back

, "This matter, at the beginning, was last night.

Originally, we people were fine, staying by the side of the female snake ghost, although we were afraid, although we were not doing well, but we were not eaten.

But last night, after the female snake ghost went out, she asked us children to follow her out.

We didn't know what we were going to do, but we had no choice but to do it.

In this way, those of us were taken by the female snake ghost to a nearby mountain, where we saw other ghosts!

We also learned last night that there is more than one ghost in that mountain! "
