Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

The disaster in Dongma Town originated from a ghost named Sijinglu.

At first, this ghost only ate one or two couples and did not attract much attention.

However, Sijinglu captured the children of these two families and controlled the life and death of these two children through some means.

Then, with these two children as the center, he called their playmates or friends to control more and more children until he controlled all the children in the town.

Finally, by controlling the lives of all the children in the town, he controlled the entire population of Dongma Town.

In this way, Sijinglu regarded Dongma Town as his base, and he had been lurking here, constantly eating couples in the town, or eating passers-by.

Because the confidentiality work was done well, he was entrenched in Dongma Town for half a year, and no one discovered it.

After understanding the general situation, Hori Gaku still needed to figure out some specific details:

"Uncle, please stop crying. I desperately want to know what methods Si Jinglu uses to control children. If I don't know this, I will be afraid to take action.

If he takes all the children in the town as hostages, I will be in trouble."

The man said excitedly:

"It's a kind of sorcery! This monster can use a kind of sorcery that can make plants grow rapidly!"

It should be some kind of blood magic.

Horitake asked carefully:

"Can you make plants grow very fast? Can you make any plant grow very fast? How fast can it grow? How powerful is this magic?"

"Very strong!" The man said with fear and trepidation:"He once summoned the whole town and demonstrated his magic to intimidate us!

During that summons, he not only made the surrounding thorn bushes grow wildly and become a thorn wall, but also grew two big trees from the grass in an instant!"

Hearing this, Horitake was also a little surprised:

"Two big trees grew out of nowhere?"

"Yes!?"

"Just two trees? Not many trees? Not a forest?"

"How is that possible? Two big trees are scary, okay! ?"

"That's good," Horitake heaved a sigh of relief,"It's not Wood Release."

"What stew?"

"Nothing, there is one thing I don't understand. Si Jinglu's ability to stimulate plant growth is indeed very strange, but how can this ability control so many children?"

The man gritted his teeth, feeling fear and hatred in his heart:

"Because he asked every child in the town to eat a peanut."

"peanut?"

"Yes, as long as he uses the magic, the peanuts in the child's stomach will take root and sprout and grow wildly, taking root in the child's flesh and blood! The seedlings will drill out of the child's belly! The death is quite miserable!"

Hori Yue thought for a while and looked at the man:

"From your tone, it seems like you have seen this scene before?"

"Yes... yes! During the town's gathering, he demonstrated it in front of everyone, and that's how the child who disobeyed him the most died!"

"But won’t peanuts be digested and excreted if we swallow them?"

"No! At least the peanuts he gave me won't! There was once a child who ran away secretly many days after eating peanuts, but he still killed them by controlling the peanuts to sprout!"

Hori nodded and fell into thought.

It seems that this ghost's blood demon art is a bit interesting.

"I've always wondered, if his peanuts are so powerful, why doesn't he feed his peanuts to everyone in town? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

"I don’t know, maybe… he doesn’t have that many special peanuts?"

"Maybe... he couldn't control the germination of so many peanuts."

"Also, I want to ask, this ghost named Death Road...could it be a child? At least he looks like a child?"

Horitake asked this question, and the man shuddered, nodded with lingering fear and answered:

"Yes! It is indeed a child-like monster! And he does have the playful nature of a child!

I heard from Taro that he gathered all the children who had lost their parents around him and forced them to play games with him. They were indeed all kinds of children's games."

Hori Gaku's face instantly turned cold.

He ate the parents of those children and forced them to play games with his enemy. It was really... twisted and vicious!

Or did this ghost not form normal human values at all!?

Another question, Hori Gaku also understood.

It turned out that the ghost of Si Jinglu did not only eat couples, but only parents with children!

Hori Gaku continued to ask the man:

"Why does this ghost like to eat other people's parents? Is it jealous of others having a happy family?"

The man shook his head:

"I don’t know the answer to this question."

After taking a deep breath, Horitake asked the last question:

"So, where in the town is this dead thorn road entrenched?"

In this way, Hori Gaku learned the hiding place of the dead thorn road from the man.

After comforting this distressed father, Hori Gaku walked to the entrance of his house, looked at his haggard appearance, and told him:

"I will kill the evil ghost and bring peace back to Toma Town.

I will also rescue those children, including your son Shintaro, who will be safe. After

I leave, close the door tightly and do not leave the house until dawn. There may be a lot of noise later, and there may be lightning and thunder. Don't worry, that's the noise I made."

After saying that, Hori Gaku went out, jumped high, stepped on street lights and telephone poles, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Looking at Hori Gaku leaving like this, the man felt a long-lost hope in his heart.

This adult is so strong, he will definitely be able to kill that monster!

Hori Gaku followed the man's instructions, quickly found the place where the ghost was lurking, landed lightly on the roof next to him, and observed the house calmly.

Well, all the doors and windows of this house were sealed with wooden boards. It looks like it is indeed the residence of a ghost.

Hori Gaku arrived at a coincidence, and he happened to see Here they are, the little girl who just walked over with Shintaro, and they are at the door of the ghost's residence.

By the way, are these two kids so slow? They are just walking from there to here now?

Or are they slowing down involuntarily because of fear?

No matter how scared they are, they have already arrived, so they can only go in.

Horitake calmly hid in the alley next to the ghost's residence, turned on his spiritual vision, and observed vaguely.

The little girl holding the lantern took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the ghost's residence.

Shintaro behind her began to tremble.

Soon, the door opened, It was another little boy who opened the door.

This little boy had empty eyes and looked more like a zombie. After opening the door, he saw the little girl and Shintaro. His expression was calm, like a pool of stagnant water. The little girl named Xiaohua was used to it. She carried a lantern and led Shintaro into the haunted house.

In this big house, the little girl led Shintaro around a few turns and came to the door of the deepest room.

Shintaro's body was shaking like a sieve at this time.

The little girl knocked on the partition door of the room, and a voice"Come in" came from inside the room.

La Opening the partition door, the scene in the deepest room also appeared in front of Xintaro.

There were only two lights in the dim room.

In the wide room, there were many children sitting inside.

Looking closely at the expressions of these children, none of them were as lively and energetic as normal children. All of them were lifeless, full of anxiety and uneasiness.

In the center of these children, there was a figure of a child about ten years old, with green skin, fangs, red eyes, blue hair, wearing loose gray clothes, and sharp and narrow nails on both hands.

At first glance, this child can't be called a human!
