Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Although he was very scared and terrified, under the intimidation of Horitake's eyes, the oldest child continued to talk about what happened last night:

"Led by the female snake ghost, we met other ghosts!

That place was like a devil's lair, with blood and human bones everywhere. I really don't know how many people those ghosts ate there! ?

When we went there, I even saw a ghost sitting next to me gnawing on a human thigh with blood in its mouth!"

Speaking of this, the child's fear could no longer be suppressed. It seemed that what he saw and heard yesterday really scared him!

Hori Gaku gave him some time to let him slow down a little, and then continued to ask:

"How many ghosts did you see in that place?"

After thinking for a while, the child shook his head:

"I was too scared to count them, but there were no less than five."

"Hmm... five, that’s not so bad. Are there any ghosts among them that look strong?"

"Yes! Sitting in the center of these ghosts is a ghost that looks ordinary, but gives people a very scary feeling!

Speaking of this, the other children also joined in with fear:

"Yes, yes! The ghost sitting at the top in the front is so scary!"

"It seems like he is the king of all ghosts!"

"He looks ordinary, but the aura he exudes is so scary!"

"At that time I thought I was going to be killed!"

"He just looked at me and I almost fainted from fright."

These children were talking at once and venting their fear. It seemed that the situation last night was really terrifying and unforgettable.

Hori Gaku guessed, which ghost could it be that they were talking about, the most terrifying ghost sitting at the top, who looked like a king?

Muzan Kibutsuji?

Impossible, Hori Gaku estimated that the ghost king these children were talking about was just like that, and it was impossible for him to be a real ghost king.

Hori Gaku estimated that it might be one of the Twelve Demon Moons.

Could it be an upper moon?

Not likely, because there were not many upper moons who formed powerful gangs, and the only cult leader, Douma, was completely inconsistent with the style these children described.

So, it might be a lower moon.

Among the lower moons, Hori Gaku was most familiar with Nightmare of the Lower String One and Rui of the Lower String Five.

These two, one liked to dream, and the other liked to play house, neither of them fit.

Then, it might be the remaining Lower String Two, Lower String Three, Lower String Four, and Lower String Six. It is not certain who it is.

Hori Gaku interrupted these children venting their fear and continued to ask:

"What's next? That female snake ghost brought you to these ghosts. What does she want you to do? She can't treat you as snacks, right? You haven't been eaten yet, have you?

What orders did these ghosts give you, and what did you do according to their requests? Come one by one!"

The eldest child still narrated the story, and the other children occasionally added:

"Facing so many ghosts at that time, we were terrified and could only accept our fate.

Those ghosts did not eat us, although some ghosts said they wanted to eat one or two of us, but the ghost at the top did not allow it!

Then... then, the ghost at the top asked the female snake ghost to give each of us a big backpack. In the big backpack, there were... all red and black meat balls! Just like some rotten internal organs!

The backpack was full of these pieces of meat, and each one was still... still wriggling! They were alive! The surface was covered with blue blood vessels! Everyone's backpack was full of... vomit.……"

At this point, the child couldn't help it, and he started retching with a pale face, causing the other children to feel sick as well.

Horitake frowned, listening to this and imagining this scene, and felt a little nauseous, so he continued to ask:

"What are these meat balls? What do these ghosts want you to do with them?"

The child suppressed his nausea and continued to explain:

"The ghost at the top asked each of us to carry a large basket of meat balls and enter Kusatsu County during the day today, and put these meat balls in various hidden places in Kusatsu, especially in places where the sun can't shine.

He also ordered that all of them must be thrown into Kusatsu without missing a single one, and no one must find them, and they must be as hidden as possible."

Hori Gaku and Mitsuri's faces changed, and Hori Gaku couldn't remain calm anymore.

Kusatsu County is in danger! The whole of Kusatsu is in danger!

Although he had seen that their baskets were empty, Hori Gaku still asked to confirm:

"Did you do as I said? Throw them all into Kusatsu County? Or hide them somewhere!?"

The children said with sad faces:

"We were forced to do so. We had no choice but to do it!"

"Bastards!" Hori Gaku stamped his feet in anger, almost gritting his teeth:"Can't you guess that you are helping the devil to harm people! ? The people you are harming are all people in Kusatsu!

How many people in Kusatsu are enough for you to harm! ? You are all accomplices! Executioners!

Even if you are children! You cannot be forgiven!"

These children cried and were afraid, afraid that Hori Gaku would do something to them in anger, they could only cry about their difficulties:

"There is no way, those ghosts are threatening us! Even if we guess that this is not a good thing to do, we dare not disobey it."

"Idiot! You guys ran out of the den in broad daylight! Don’t you know how to run away! ?"

"We also wanted to escape or seek help, but the ghosts threatened us, saying that if we didn't do so, they would kill everyone in our village, including our family members."

"Can't you run back to the village during the day to inform everyone to evacuate quickly?!"

"Kusatsu is not close to our village, and we can't get back in one day."

Hori Gaku slapped himself on the forehead, completely speechless.

Damn, these ghosts are really thoughtful, blocking all the escape routes for these children!

Taking a deep breath, Hori Gaku suppressed his anger and continued to ask:

"What on earth are those black and red balls of flesh?"

The children all shook their heads:

"We really don’t know this, and we don’t dare to ask"

"Okay, then, have you really scattered and hidden these meatballs throughout the Kusatsu County?"

The children nodded.

"Evenly spread in every hiding place?"

The children nodded.

"Did you leave out every corner?"

The children nodded.

"At least you remember where you put them, right? You should be able to find them all and take them back, right?"

The children looked at each other, and one of them answered:

"Because there are too many of them, and they are hidden randomly, we should be able to find some of them, but finding all of them... is unlikely."

Hori Gaku also knew that it was unlikely, but he still asked with a little hope.

For the first time, Hori Gaku had a sense of absurdity that the situation was out of control.

Thinking of the area of the entire Kusatsu County, the red and black meat balls scattered all over the place, and the unknown functions of these meat balls.

What should I do now?

Hori Gaku asked himself this question.

Mitsuri was completely panicked and asked Hori Gaku the same question:

""Brother Horitake, what should we do now?"

Looking at Mitsuri, Horitake found that Mitsuri's eyes were full of panic.

No, I have to calm down.

As the pillar of heaven, as Mitsuri's support, as the person with the highest status and the most responsibility here, Horitake himself must calm down.

If he can't calm down, things will be really serious!

Now, what do we need to do most?

Is it to recycle these black and red meat balls as much as possible? Or do we need to figure out the function of these red and black meat balls first?

Recycle them first! Recycle as much as possible! Search as much as possible!

Horitake had just made this decision when another child spoke.
