Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

The daytime in Dongma Town is dead, and the nights in Dongma Town are even more desolate and uneasy.

Even though it is not yet nine o'clock in the evening, and even though the street lights are still on, the shops in the town have closed early. Every household has closed their doors tightly, not daring to go out, as if they are afraid of something at night.

In this dead silence, the door of Xintaro's house was knocked!

The moment the door rang, the father and son were both frightened, and Xintaro jumped directly into the man's arms in panic.

They all knew what was waiting for Xintaro.

The door was knocked for the second time, and Xintaro was very panicked, but he could only get out of the man's arms.

The decadent man looked at his son and touched his head encouragingly:

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

The boy held back his tears, walked out, and nervously opened the door.

Outside the door was a thin, yellow-haired little girl holding a lantern, looking uneasy.

Seeing this little girl, Xin Tailang felt a little better:

"It's you, Xiaohua."

The little girl named Xiaohua nodded, looked at Xin Tailang with pity, and said:

"Lu... Lord Lu asked me to come find you."

Xin Tailang shuddered and gritted his teeth:

"Those bastards, did they tell that... told Lord Lu about my father's affairs?"

The little girl nodded timidly.

"Damn it!" Shintaro was so angry that he said,"My dad just had a casual chat with a stranger! Those bastards told on him!""

"Not only your father, but also Grandpa Narita and Aunt Gaomu. As long as they have had contact with strangers, Lord Lu will know."

"What!?"Nobutaro was shocked and angry:"Then what about the children of Grandpa Narita and Aunt Takagi?……"

The little girl nodded, confirming Shintaro's bad guess.

"Damn it!" Shintaro started cursing again, and this time the target of his curse was Horitake:"That outsider is really something, why did he ask so many people? ? Doesn't he know how many families he has implicated! ?"

Horitake on the roof was a little embarrassed.

This... can he be blamed?

It seems that he is indeed to be blamed.

I'm so sorry, to express my apology, I will help you kill that damn Lu-sama!

After scolding Horitake, Shintaro was still not satisfied, and continued to scold the children who reported:

"And those bastards! Those who reported the incident should die!"

"You...you should not be angry with them. If they do not report the truth,……"

At this point, the little girl stopped talking, and because of fear, her body shivered involuntarily.

Xin Tailang also thought of something, and his face turned pale.

The little girl couldn't help but urged Xin Tailang:

"Xin Tailang, we can't delay any longer, we must get to Master Lu in time."

Xin Tailang was very scared and reluctantly agreed:

""Let's go...let's go!"

The little girl walked in front holding a lantern, and Xin Tailang followed closely behind. On the silent street, there were only these two small footsteps, which seemed quite strange.

Xin Tailang's father, the decadent man, stood by the window, looking at his son's back, feeling distressed.

With a deep sigh, the man turned around and suddenly found someone in front of him!

The extremely frightened man screamed, fell back and sat on the ground.

When he saw who the person in front of him was, he was slightly relieved:

"Is... is it you!?"

Hori Gaku stood in front of the man, smiled and pointed at the room, inviting him calmly:

"Uncle, can you tell me more about this?"

Sitting stiffly on the ground, the man hesitated.

Horitake revealed his identity and gave him a shot of adrenaline:

"To be honest, uncle, I am a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, and I am here to kill demons. The Lord Lu you are talking about is most likely a man-eating demon, and my job is to defeat him! To be frank, my strength is among the best in the Demon Slayer Corps, and there are only a few demons in the world that I cannot deal with!"

The man was infected by Hori Gaku's strong self-confidence and the demeanor of a strong man.

He struggled to stand up and invited Hori Gaku to the room over there. The two sat opposite each other and began to talk in detail.

"Uncle, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. I need to know the specific situation of this ghost. Please tell me all the information you know."

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, the man eagerly recounted everything he knew:

"The so-called Lord Lu, whose full name is Sijinglu, has a green face and fangs, and does not look like a human. He has to eat a few people every now and then to satisfy his hunger. He should be the ghost you mentioned!"

"Uncle, please calm down. I want to know how did the ghost of Sijing Road appear? Did it appear out of nowhere in Dongma Town? Or is it from outside?"

After thinking for a while, the man replied:

"It must be from outside. We have lived in Dongma Town for so many years and have never heard of such a monster."

Hori Yue asked seriously:

"When did it appear?"

"About half a year ago!"

"How did he stay in Dongma Town for the past six months?

Speaking of this question, the man became excited and began to recall the past that he could not bear to look back on:

"Originally, we in Dongma Town knew nothing about the monster that appeared in the town.

Later, when young couples kept dying and going missing, we realized something was wrong.

But by the time we realized something was wrong, it was too late.……"

At this point, the man recalled with great pain:

"Before we knew it, in less than a month, the monster used magic to control the life and death of all the children in the town!

For us poor families, children are our lives!

The lives of children are controlled by monsters, which is equivalent to controlling our entire family!

The monster used this magic to control the life and death of all the children in the town and controlled the entire Dongma Town.

We had no choice but to be controlled by him, so that he occasionally wanted to eat a couple, and we could only endure it and pretend not to see it.

The whole town has been trapped in such terror, and we don’t know who will be eaten next! ?

Those children who lost their parents were raised by the monster, forcing the poor children to play with him!

Occasionally, outsiders came to the town and passed by in a hurry. It was okay, but once an outsider came into contact with the people in the town, the outsider would definitely be eaten tonight!

It was because the monster was afraid of leaking the news and afraid that the news of the monster in this town would spread.

There were too many passers-by or outsiders who were eaten, and the government came to investigate. We had no choice but to declare them missing.

The government officials could not find any clues at all, so the matter was left unresolved.

Actually... sometimes we feel secretly happy in our hearts.

That monster... has eaten so many outsiders, will he stop eating people in the town?

But it's not like that, he still eats the couples in the town!

If it goes on like this... when will it end! There will be fewer and fewer people in the town, and everyone will become more and more scared, until they completely collapse.

Rather than that, it would be better to die...

But death is not an option, the lives of all the children in the town are in the hands of that monster, it doesn't matter if we die, but what about the children! ?

We can only endure like this, slowly endure, in the darkness, living a life worse than death.……"

The more the man spoke, the more painful it became.

Because of the painful memories, the man's narration was a little confusing and mixed, but Horitake still managed to sort out the threads and roughly figure out what the ghost did and the cause and effect of the disaster in this town.
