Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

The periphery of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was surrounded by the swordsmen stationed in the headquarters. The target of the encirclement was a few ordinary demons.

It stands to reason that with so many swordsmen and so many ordinary demons, wouldn't it be enough to just kill these demons?

But everyone present knew that this couldn't be done.

Because these demons already knew that this was the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

If they rushed up and killed this demon, and Muzan Kibutsuji learned of their deaths and checked their memories, wouldn't the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters be exposed?

It was precisely because of this worry that the swordsmen surrounded the headquarters tightly and attacked fiercely, but no one stepped forward to kill the demon.

Hori Gaku stood on the tree, looking at the swordsmen who were doing their duty but were tied up.

He understood the swordsmen's concerns very well.

These demons were just very ordinary demons. Under normal circumstances, these demons were of no importance to Muzan. If they died, Muzan would never care, and would not go out of his way to watch their memories before death.

But it's better to be safe than sorry!

What if? What if the memories of these ghosts before their death are discovered by Muzan?

So at this time, Hori Gaku needs to take action. Before killing these ghosts, remove their curses first!

Just when Hori Gaku was about to take action, he found that these ghosts were somewhat familiar, and there was a sense of déjà vu.

Could it be that he had seen these ghosts somewhere before?

Impossible, except for Nezuko, Tamayo, and Yushiro, all the ghosts he saw were killed by him cleanly and neatly. Only Kokushibo was unable to be dealt with, and all the others were killed cleanly!

Hori Gaku thought quickly.

It is impossible for him to have seen these ghosts. The reason why he felt familiar with them might be because he had met them before they became ghosts!

Where did he see them? When these ghosts were still human?

Hori Gaku racked his brains, but couldn't remember for a while.

After thinking about it, Hori Gaku stood on the tree and ordered the swordsmen:

"Stop for now!"

At the command, all the swordsmen present stopped and stopped besieging these ghosts.

The swordsmen looked up at the tree and found that it was Tianzhu. They immediately became more confident. They each held their Nichirin swords tightly and surrounded these ghosts tightly, waiting for Horitake's instructions. The ghosts who were surrounded by the swordsmen were in despair and were about to die. Who knew that someone stopped these swordsmen, giving them a chance to breathe.

These ghosts raised their heads and looked at the man who had just given the order to the swordsmen.

When these ghosts saw Horitake's appearance, they actually recognized him and were shocked:

"It's you!"

Hori Gaku narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, this sense of familiarity was not an illusion, they knew me!

Hori Gaku frowned and asked calmly:

"Do you know me? Or have you seen me somewhere before?"

One of them, a bald ghost without hair, angrily scolded Horitake:

"Of course we know you! If we hadn't turned into ghosts, we would have died in your hands long ago!"

Several other ghosts, who seemed to be the bald ghost's subordinates, also accused Horitake in a flurry of complaints:

"It's you! It was you who almost killed us!"

"Yes, at that time we were still human beings and bandits, and we were no match for you!"

"At that time, you chopped us all down with just a few strikes. We were seriously injured and on the verge of death!"

"If they hadn't turned into ghosts in time, if they hadn't still been breathing, they would have really died!"

Listening to the accusations of these ghosts, Hori Gaku suddenly recalled a trivial matter from before.

That was after he passed the final selection of Fujikiyama and was received by Yaoya for the first time at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. He left the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and rushed back to Momoyama.

At that time, he was about to leave the mountains, but he didn't expect that he would meet a group of bandits in the edge of the forest surrounded by mountains.

The style of this group of bandits was quite strange. They kept muttering something like"I own this mountain". In short, they were just a group of crooked melons and cracked dates!

Facing the group of bandits, Hori Gaku certainly would not be polite. He used the Gale Sword Technique he had just learned at that time to chop them all over the sky and half-dead.

After that, Hori Gaku didn't care whether the group of bandits were dead or alive. He left the group of bandits lying dead on the mountain road and left alone.

Recalling this little thing, Hori Gaku suddenly realized.

I said why these crooked ghosts looked familiar. It turns out that these ghosts are the crooked bandits themselves!

"It turned out to be you guys! After I defeated you, I didn't care whether you lived or died and just left. I didn't expect that you not only didn't die, but turned into ghosts!

It's my fault that I didn't cut the grass and rooted it out!

From what you just said, after I left, you were really seriously injured and were about to die, but just before you died, you turned into ghosts, right?

I really want to know, who turned you into ghosts?"

These mountain bandit ghosts are obviously not very smart. Among them, the bald mountain bandit ghost leader heard Hori Takeru asking him, and he answered proudly:

"Who turned us into ghosts?

Hehe, thanks to that adult, when we were still breathing, he turned us into ghosts. We avoided death and became stronger!

Speaking of that adult's name, you will be shocked!

That adult is the leader of our group of ghosts, Lord Akaza!"

Hori Gaku opened his eyes slightly wide.

He really didn't expect that it was Akaza who turned these ugly bandits into ghosts!

Wait! This group of bandits had not had time to die, and when they were still breathing, Akaza appeared and turned them into ghosts.

Doesn't this mean that after I killed this group of bandits, Akaza appeared not long after I left!

In other words, if I was slow at that time, if I didn't leave there in time, I would meet Akaza there!

Good guy! At that time, I I am definitely not a match for Akaza!

Fortunately, I didn't run into him at that time!

Not only that.

The place where Horitake encountered this group of bandits was surrounded by mountains, and deep inside the mountains was the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps!

In other words, the place where Akaza appeared at that time was not very far from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and the two sides were only separated by a mountain range.

Horitake had reason to guess that Akaza was acting in the mountains at that time just to find the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters! Just to destroy and attack the Demon Slayer Corps!

At this time, Horitake suddenly thought of the system's warm reminder!

The warm reminder shows It is clear that Horitake's next action will affect which demon will attack the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters after it is exposed.

Could it be that the one who will attack the Demon Slayer Corps is Akaza! ?

It's possible! Very likely!

Wait, there is something that doesn't make sense.

If Horitake remembered correctly, the main task that Muzan gave to Akaza was to find the blue spider lily, not to find the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

After all, in Muzan's heart, destroying the Demon Slayer Corps is far less important than finding the blue spider lily.

Then why is Akaza so keen on finding the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters? Why is he so keen on destroying the Demon Slayer Corps?

Horitake quickly Quickly thought of other things.

Akaza himself is a fighting demon, that is, a fighting demon, a fighting demon, and he is born to like fighting with strong people!

In the original work, after he killed his elder brother Rengoku Kyojuro, he deliberately went to Muzan to ask for credit, but was taught a lesson by Muzan.

It is not surprising that such a demon who is keen on fighting wants to attack the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and wants to fight with the strong men of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Horitake's brain worked quickly, quickly guessing, thinking, and analyzing each piece of information, connecting these pieces of information, and gradually connecting them into a smooth logical closed loop.
