Control the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer: Blade

After eating something casually and replenishing his physical strength, Horitake left the restaurant and involuntarily entered the work mode.

Looking at the sky getting later and later, and the fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, Horitake understood that the time was almost up.

If there really is a ghost in this library, it will only take a while for the ghost to act.

I can't walk on the street anymore, it's too conspicuous.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Horitake quietly left here, quietly jumped on the roof of a residential building, relying on the cover of these trees, and indifferently observed the library over there.

The goal is undoubtedly the library, and all Horitake has to do is wait, wait for something unusual in this library, and then start acting naturally.

Horitake waited patiently.

Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve...

Finally, it was past midnight.

Even in a bustling and larger city like Kyoto, no one comes out to act at this time, and most people sleep at home.

So this no-man's time is just right for the rampant ghosts.

Horitake had been waiting on the roof of this house, and suddenly, he noticed something abnormal!

Someone's coming!

That's right, someone is coming, not a ghost!

After waiting for nearly half a night, Horitake was not a ghost, but a human!

Horitake was also a little strange, sitting on the roof of this house, leaning on the cover of the tree, quietly observing the side of the library.

I don't know when, a person dragged heavy footsteps, staggered and walked slowly, came to this open space in front of the library gate, and stood here without moving.

Horitake couldn't help but observe this person, and even observed it with spiritual vision.

This person's state is very wrong, the whole person is confused, although his eyes are half-open, but his gaze is dull, not flexible at all, and the walking posture is dull and procrastinating, the whole person seems to be sleepwalking.

No, Horitake felt that this person was sleepwalking!

You see, this person is unconscious, confused like a puppet, and is still wearing clothes for sleeping at home, what is he not sleepwalking for!?

But sleepwalking, how did you get here?

Horitake observed that this person seemed to have been gone for a long time, his home was obviously not nearby, who would sleepwalk directly out of the house and come all the way here at night!?

Horitake observed the person's dress, hoping to judge the person's identity and occupation from this point.

It's a pity that this person is wearing homely clothes, and from what he is wearing, he really can't see anything else.

However, from the material of the clothes he is wearing, it can be seen that this person is also an ordinary class person, not a rich and noble person.

After this person walked here as if sleepwalking, he stood in front of the library, motionless, in a daze, as if waiting for something.

The library didn't open its doors, didn't light it on, in short, there was no response.

Horitake watched the situation coldly, he didn't say a word, he thought silently.

It's been a long time.

Anything strange can happen these days.

So late, a person can sleepwalk to this point, sleepwalking all the way from home to the library, sleepwalking when he can't enter the door, just waiting at the door.

This situation is so weird.

However, the weird is yet to come.

Not long after, the second person also came, and also with dull eyes, stiff posture, dull and protracted steps, and the whole person walked from a distance like sleepwalking, and also came to the door of the library.

The second person stood side by side with the first person at the door of the library.

The second person came more than once, followed by more and more people, the third, the fourth, the fifth...

These people behind are all the same chaotic demeanor, unclear, as if sleepwalking, their eyes are dull and not flexible at all, like the walking dead are like puppets.

A total of more than a dozen people came, all in a sleepwalk-like state, dressed in clothes for sleeping at home, divided into two rows, and standing neatly at the door of the library.

This strange scene, combined with the strange atmosphere, made Horigaku, who was hidden next to him, look a little hairy.

You can imagine that in the city at night, the street lights are dim, a huge library is hidden in the shadows, and a dozen sleepwalkers are dumbfounded and gazes, divided into two rows, standing quietly in front of the library, not knowing what is waiting for.

This scene is really weird!

Horitake, who had been hiding on the roof of the house next to him, looked at this strange scene, and he was also a little overwhelmed, not knowing what to do.

It is people, not ghosts, who cause this strange phenomenon, and he is not good at interfering at will.

And Horitake didn't know what was wrong with these dozen people, and if he made a rash move, would it cause them any irreparable consequences?

And what exactly did these dozen suffer?

Even if you sleepwalk, you can't sleepwalk a dozen people at the same time, right?

Even if more than a dozen people sleepwalk at the same time, they won't run here so inconsistently, right?

Even if they come here so unanimously, they won't be so neatly arranged, right?

It feels as if these dozen people are being controlled.

Wait, it's controlled!

This kind of thing is not impossible.

The current situation of these dozen people, is it sleepwalking or hypnotizing!?

Horitake felt that he seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter, if not the truth, at least he had stepped on the road to the truth!

These dozen people are likely to be controlled by hypnosis-like means.

So the question arises again, who hypnotized them? How was it hypnotized? When was it hypnotized?

Horitake sat on the roof on this side and looked at it for a long time, and he could see that these dozen or so people were coming from all directions, which meant that they lived in all directions.

Who would go to the trouble of hypnotizing people everywhere?

But...... This may explain part of the reason for the disappearance.

Why in the past two or three months, people in Kyoto City have been missing at night, and the number of missing people has reached more than 300?

That's because these people who disappeared, I don't know when they were hypnotized, caused them to sleepwalk together at night and came to the library in a daze.

That's why, the densest and most central place with red dots on that map is this library.

It is clear that this library is the initiator, and more than three hundred missing people were hypnotized and sleepwalked because they came to the library together.

And the police officers who came out to investigate the night before were either hypnotized together, or simply silenced.

Now another question arises, these dozen people come to the library, what happens next?
