Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

The faces of these children were all cut into snake-shaped cracks. What happened?

Looking at these gloomy and terrifying children, and faces similar to Iguro Obanai, Hori Gaku and Mitsuri were shocked. Hori Gaku knew more and was thinking a lot.

These children were extremely panicked and reacted violently to the fact that their faces were exposed.

Among them, the most violent reaction was from the kid who had the worst attitude just now.

After the child found out that his face was exposed, he was very panicked. Soon, this panic turned into hideousness. He looked at Hori Gaku viciously, and then... took out a dagger from his arms, rushed towards Hori Gaku with red eyes, and shouted:

"You actually…actually exposed my face! I will kill you!"

Of course, Hori Gaku would not be hurt by this kid, and he knocked him out with a scabbard.

Well, he seemed to be in a better mood. Some children are unreasonable and need to be taught a lesson.

After knocking this troublemaker unconscious, Hori Gaku looked at a few children who wanted to escape and said coldly:

""Stop."

Horitake's intimidation was still very strong. When the children saw Horitake's stern face, they were all frightened and stood there without daring to move.

They all saw that this man knocked someone out without mercy.

Looking at these children who had experienced horror, Horitake calmly asked:

"Do you know anyone named Ihei?"

The children looked confused, looked at each other, and shook their heads.

Mitsuri, who was standing next to them, was very puzzled and asked quietly:

""Brother Horitake, why do you ask that? Isn't the man named Iguro... the Snake Pillar?"

After a little hesitation, Horitake told Mitsuri:

"The reason why Iguro Obane always has his face bandaged is because his face looks like this"

"Why?……"

"Because Iguro Obanai experienced some terrible things when she was a child, I am worried that these children have encountered similar things.

Mitsuri, Iguro Obanai's situation should be kept to yourself and not disclosed to anyone."

"Yes! I understand."

Mitsuri is a sensible person. If she said she would not reveal it, she would definitely not reveal it.

But Hori Gaku was still very confused.

How could these children encounter the same thing as Iguro Obanai? This should be impossible. The snake demon has been dealt with by the former Flame Pillar, Rengoku Kyojuro's father?

So, what exactly did Iguro Obanai go through? Here is a brief explanation.

That was Iguro Obanai's dark childhood.

Iguro Obanai was born in the Iguro clan on Hachijo Island. This clan is an extremely ugly and dark clan.

Why do I say that? Because the Iguro clan relies entirely on bloody means such as robbery, persecution, and murder to gather profits and strengthen themselves. This family can be said to have all the five poisons! Maybe

God can't stand the Iguro clan. This family has not given birth to a boy for 370 years. All the babies born are girls. child.

So, can Iguro Xiaobanei be treated well and cherished by the family because of this?

No.

As the only boy, Iguro Xiaobanei was imprisoned in a cell by his family when he was very young. Although he was treated with fine clothes and delicious food all day long, he could not leave the cell.

Moreover, the young Iguro Xiaobanei was sensitive. He could feel that the smiles on the faces of the elders who brought delicious meals every day were hypocritical.

Faced with the hypocritical smiles and hidden malice of the family, Iguro Xiaobanei could not stop feeling nauseous and fearful. Coupled with the greasy food and the closed and restrained cell every day, Iguro Xiaobanei had no appetite all day long and even felt nauseous.

In this dark cell, Iguro Xiaobanei could only curl up and had nowhere to escape.

At the age of twelve, Iguro Xiaobanei was taken out of prison and sent to the Iguro family. In a luxurious room in the house, he met a half-human, half-snake female man-eating evil ghost!

It turned out that for three hundred years, the Iguro family had been relying on this snake ghost to kill others and seize money to make a living.

As the price of offering sacrifices to this snake ghost, the Iguro family would sacrifice their own children alive to this snake ghost who loved to eat babies the most.

And Iguro Xiaobanei, as a boy who was born with heterochromatic eyes, was naturally not immune.

When the snake ghost saw Iguro Xiaobanei, although he was very interested, he still said that he was too young and should be raised.

Although he was lucky enough to survive, because of the snake ghost's evil taste, Iguro Xiaobanei was required to have the same appearance as the snake ghost.

Therefore, his face was cut open by the people in the family, forming the terrible appearance of a slit snake face.

In this way, Iguro Xiaobanei was thrown back into the cell and continued to be raised..

Iguro Obanai, who encountered a sudden change, was extremely panicked and closed his feelings to his family. Only a little white snake"Kabutomaru" who got lost in the cell became his only trustworthy companion.

This white snake was the one that Iguro Obanai had been entangled around his neck.

But no one wants to wait for death, right?

Iguro Obanai began his journey of self-rescue.

He used a stolen hairpin to chisel the wooden fence of the cell.

Day after day, year after year, the cell was finally chiseled open, and Iguro Obanai escaped from the family.

Not long after he escaped, he was caught up by the mad snake demon. At the critical moment, Rengoku Kyojuro's father Rengoku Makijuro arrived in time to kill the snake demon and save Iguro Obanai.

The two rushed back to the Iguro family and found that the Iguro family was completely wiped out, leaving only one survivor, Iguro Obanai's cousin. What made

Iguro Obanai even more desperate was that the only cousin cried and accused Iguro Obanai angrily:

"It's all your fault! Everyone was killed because you ran away! Wouldn't it be better to just be eaten as a sacrifice?!"

It turned out that after Iguro Obanai ran away, the snake demon was furious and ate the entire Iguro family.

As a descendant of a scum family, I am also a scum...

This was what Iguro Obanai was thinking at the time.

From then on, there was no sun in Iguro Obanai's world.

Obanai, who believed that he was burdened with heavy sins, no longer desired an ordinary life. After that, he followed Makijuro to join the Demon Slayer Corps, and later became the Snake Pillar.

In order to vent the hatred in his heart that had nowhere to go, he poured all this resentment on the demons, and killed demons with all his heart, just to slightly relieve the guilt in his heart, until now.

It's really A...tragic and desperate life.

Therefore, Hori Gaku, who knew what happened to Iguro Obanai through the original work, would wonder if these children had encountered the same thing when he saw these children. That's why he asked, do you know anyone with the surname Iguro.

Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of these children, Hori Gaku knew that it was wrong to ask like that.

Which ghost would tell others what its name was when it was still a human?

And the snake ghost back then had been killed by Rengoku Makijuro.

But what on earth is going on with these children?

Hori Gaku has no good solution for the time being and can only ask directly.

He took a step forward, giving these children a great sense of oppression:

"It seems that you have had some contact with man-eating ghosts.

Ghosts are the natural enemies of humans, the mortal enemies, and they must be eliminated!

As humans, you actually work for ghosts. Even if you are children, you can't let it go easily.

Tell me, what's going on with you? What's your relationship with ghosts?

Don't want to talk about it, it's okay."

As he said, Hori Gaku pointed to the evil ghost with white eyes on the ground:

"The fate of those who don’t speak out will be even worse than his."
