Control the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer: Blade

Hori was in the Inari Shrine in Fushimi Ward, waiting safely.

Standing under a pine tree, leaning against a bluestone statue of a fox, he idly observed the scenery inside the shrine while unhurriedly waiting for his target.

The antique scenery and temperament here seem to really soothe people's hearts, at least waiting here, Hori has no impatience.

After waiting for about a few minutes, Horitake looked down.

I don't know when, a fox ran to his feet.

I am leaning on the fox bluestone statue, and now there is a real fox running over, could it be that he is related to the fox today?

Thinking like this, the fox took a step closer to Horitake, shrugged his nose and sniffed Horitake's pant legs, and then revealed a very human doubt.

Horitake lowered his head, the fox looked up, and one person and one fox began to look at each other.

The fox, an animal, seems to have spirituality.

At least Horitake looked at this fox and felt that he was not looking at a fox, as if he was looking at a person.

Because the eyes of this fox are really human enough.

At this moment, a strange thought appeared in Horitake's mind.

This fox ... Wouldn't it be Inari God!?

There is a rumor that the incarnation of Inari God is a fox, and whether this rumor is true or false is still unclear, which also led to the birth of Horidake's strange idea.

Although the idea was strange, Horitake was not afraid at all, nor was he afraid of it.

His inner thought at this time was: If this fox of yours is the Inari God, then I am the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun.

Thinking like this, Horitake smiled and leaned down to pet the fox.

The fox was a little repulsive at first, but when Horitake really began to stroke it, the fox immediately narrowed his eyes comfortably, and lay on the ground, looking like he was begging Horitake to continue stroking.

Horitake took out the method of petting the dog in his previous life and stroked this fox.

He thought to himself, they are also canines, and my dog petting technique must be very effective for foxes!

I don't know how long it lasted, until the fox was snorted, the four paws were up, and the belly turned over, Horitake felt that it was almost the same, and stopped unfinished.

Why stop?

Because the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Horitake stood up and looked at the man who didn't know when he appeared beside him.

This is a middle-aged man in his thirties to forties, wearing a neon old-fashioned police uniform, with a peaceful but extraordinary temperament.

The man also looked down at the fox that had been soothed by Horidake, and said with a smile:

"This fox is not wild, it is raised by Inari Shrine."

Horitake nodded slightly:

"I said, a vigilant animal like a fox, no wonder it is willing to be close to me, it seems that it is already familiar with humans."

Saying this, Horitake looked at the man and asked the question in an affirmative tone:

"Sheriff Eguchi."

The man nodded:

"It's me, are you the pillar sent by the Ghost Killer Team to solve this incident?"

Horitake nodded, looked at this Sergeant Eguchi again, frowned slightly, and came to a conclusion:

"Sergeant Eguchi is definitely not as simple as an ordinary policeman, you must have another identity, or another profession."

"Oh? Why so sure?

"Feeling, my feelings tell me, Sheriff Eguchi, you are not simple."

"What a terrible intuition."

In fact, Horitake is talking nonsense, how can this kind of thing be explained by intuition.

The reason why Horitake feels that this Eguchi Sheriff is not simple is entirely because of this incident.

How can a person who can contact the Ghost Killing Squad be just a policeman without the nostril-facing temperament of a powerful person or the arrogant bureaucratic style in his heart?

But it didn't matter, Horitake wasn't curious about his identity.

The two shook hands, and Horitake took the lead and said

, "This time, it's really good to have the help of Sheriff Eguchi."

Sheriff Eguchi didn't know that I had solved the incident where the plague was almost released by a ghost in Kusatsu before, but it was not me who contacted the government official, it was another colleague of mine.

My friend was very upset with the official contact, because those officials were really unbearable.

Sheriff Eguchi is completely different from those officers, and I hope to get useful information from Sheriff Eguchi. "

This time I put on a high hat first, and Sheriff Eguchi was also a little helpless.

He extinguished the cigarette in his mouth and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can next to him.

"Little brother, you look up to me, the information I can give you is relatively limited, and in a sense, I am no different from those official masters.

Because I was also instructed by those officials and masters.

When he said this, the peaceful Sergeant Eguchi actually had some decadent temperament.

This decadence made Horitake feel bad:

"Limited information is limited, it's better than a black eye on my eyes."

So may I ask Sheriff Eguchi, do you have any information you can tell me about this large-scale disappearance in Kyoto? I

saw that the feeling of decadence on Sergeant Eguchi became deeper and deeper:

"Little brother, tell you a fact.

From beginning to end, there were far more than hundreds of missing people in Kyoto.

In fact, by now, more than 300 people have disappeared in Kyoto, and the disappearance continues! It is already infinitely close to the number of missing people of four hundred!

Horitake was really surprised, and it was unbelievable:

"More than three hundred people have disappeared, nearly four hundred!? Please, you're not kidding me, are you? This was not the case when we told me that there were hundreds of missing people!

Looking helplessly at Horidake, Sheriff Eguchi said,

"Those Kyoto officials also want face.

They are incompetent, helpless, and have no way to ask for help from the ghost killing team, which is already humiliating enough.

You ask them to tell the Ghost Killing Team the real number of missing people, and the faces of these officials will have nowhere to rest.

No, the only way is to hide the real missing people, so as to keep the face of those officials and masters.

Horitake was speechless.

After thinking about it, Horiyue felt that this was really something that those official masters could do.

Suddenly, Horitake felt a pang of annoyance in his heart.

However, Horigaku's cultivation was still relatively homely, he suppressed the anger in his heart, continued to try to remain calm, and asked Sheriff Eguchi:

"Well, more than three hundred people have disappeared, not more than a hundred.

And other than that? What else needs to be reminded? What else conflicts with what I know?

Sergeant Eguchi continued to reply lightly:

"Also, these more than 300 people have not disappeared in one breath in the recent period, but have disappeared one after another in the past two or three months."
