Control the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer: Blade

This was one of Horigake's most curious questions.

Why did the ghost catch these children and not eat them?
It seemed difficult for these children to answer Horigake's question. They were very entangled one by one, and then answered in a hurry:
"That monster really likes to eat people. We have seen this before."

"Yeah, I have to eat a person every three to five times. It's bloody, and it frightens me."

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

"Yeah, don't eat us, but keep us by her side."

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

"I don't know, and we dare not ask. After all, if we ask, what if she really eats us?"

Horiyake was keenly aware of their words, and interrupted these children:

"Wait! You said... her?"

(In Japanese, he and she are pronounced differently.)
The children nodded tremblingly, indicating that it was indeed her.

Horiyake continued to ask suspiciously:

"She is a female ghost. Could it be that this female ghost is a half-human, half-snake ghost?"

Several children were shocked:

"You... how do you know!?"

Horie had some doubts about life now.

Impossible, wasn't the snake ghost of Yihei Xiaobanai's family killed by the father of Purgatory Xingjurou?Why did another snake ghost appear and cut the faces of these children in the same way?

Horiyake was in doubt. Among these children, the one who looked the most timid raised his hand weakly, and said cautiously:
"I...I seem to know why she...doesn't eat us."

The gazes of Horigake, Mitsuri and the other children all focused on this timid child, and this child became even more nervous being watched by everyone.

At this time, Mitsuri played a role, took a step forward, and Horigake made a bad face and a bad face. She asked the child as gently as possible:

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

After a moment of hesitation, the child whispered:
"Sometimes, that monster... is that ghost, that's delirious, talking to itself nervously.

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

What she said was messed up, and I can't remember clearly, but I still remember the general meaning, that is...

It seems that, this ghost, regarded us as her younger brother, what did he say, his younger brother's face is like this, so he cut our face like this..."

As he said that, the child became more and more depressed, covering his cracked face, falling into autism and depression.

Horigake's eyes widened, and Mitsuri's mouth opened wide.

This sentence contains a lot of information!

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

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

So that female ghost's younger brother is...

Horigake and Mitsuri 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 might be... Ihei Xiaobanei!

In other words, this female ghost is the only survivor of the Yihei family, the cousin of Yihei Xiaobanei!

The members of the Yihei family are basically scumbags. Although Cousin Yihei survived, she blamed all the reasons for the family's destruction on the escaped Yihei Xiaobanei!

If it is said that Cousin Yi Hei became more paranoid and psychopathic afterward, and then unexpectedly turned into a ghost, even the half-human, half-snake ghost that his family enshrined...

This matter makes sense!Makes sense!

Horie thinks his guess is very likely.

If this is the case, Ihei Xiaobane is a bit pitiful.

Although Yihei Xiaobanei has long been separated from her scumbag family.

Even if Yihei Xiaobane has no relationship with his cousin at all, there is no connection at all.

But... After all, he is the only blood relative in the world, and he has become a ghost, and even a ghost who harms others.

This Snake Zhu is really a bit miserable.

For a while, there was too much information, too much thinking, and the guessing was a bit surprising, which made Horie Yue's brain a little bit overwhelmed.

He pressed his forehead, calmed down, and continued to ask:
"So, the reason why the female snake ghost catches you but doesn't eat you is because she treats you as her younger brother and raises you.

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

In other words, you have been living with ghosts before, unable to escape and unable to die, and have been trapped in the terror that life is worse than death, right? "

These children nodded one after another, as if they understood Long Live.

"Then where is that female snake ghost entrenched?"

The oldest child pointed in a direction outside Kusatsu County:
"In the mountains over there, it takes a long walk from here."

Immediately afterwards, Horigake asked these children another question they most wanted to ask:
"Then what are you doing in Kusatsu County?"

Horie's tone was serious, looking at these children with a stern expression:
"I thought that you were from Kusatsu County, and you were controlled by some kind of ghosts. You all carried empty backpacks and went to the mountains to do some conspiracy.

Now it seems that is not the case, the situation should be quite the opposite.

You were originally by the side of the ghost in the mountains, and you were ordered by the ghost to do something in Kusatsu County. It was getting late, and you who had finished these things were about to go back to the mountains and return to the side of the ghost.

Unfortunately, I was stopped. "

Horiyake looked at these children sternly:

"What did the ghost order you to do? What did you do in Kusatsu County during the day? What was in the empty backpack behind you?
Explain to me one by one! "

Horie had a hunch that this matter was definitely not easy!
Mitsuri also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Kusatsu County is a big town with a well-developed tourism industry, and there are ghosts who want to do something to Kusatsu County.

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

Miri was no longer gentle when facing these children, she also frowned and looked at these children sternly.

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

Horiyake very "kindly" helped them get started:
"From the beginning of the matter, how did you get ordered by the ghost, and what happened at the beginning?"

After hesitating and panicking for a while, the oldest child stood up and struggled with his words:

"We don't know what's going on, and we just follow orders. If we don't follow their orders, our lives will be in danger."

Hori Yue keenly discovered the child's words: they.

It seems that it is not the snake ghost who ordered these children, but several ghosts.

But Horigake didn't interrupt him, and the oldest boy said as he recalled:

"This incident started last night.

Originally, those of us were doing well, staying beside the female snake ghost. Although we were scared and our lives were not going well, we were not eaten anyway.

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

We didn't know what to do at the time, but we had no choice but to follow suit.

Just like that, we were taken to a nearby mountain by the female snake ghost, where we saw other ghosts!
We only found out last night that there is more than one ghost in that mountain! "
