Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Things seemed to have taken a new turn, or to be more precise, things didn't seem that bad.

Horitake grabbed the snake girl's head and smashed it down with murderous intent, smashing half of her face into a bloody mess on the ground.

Then, holding her head, he looked straight into her eyes and questioned her:

"Tell me clearly, what is going on? The plague source has not taken effect yet, is it true?"

Because Horitake smashed it with anger, without using lightning, but only pure physical damage, the half of the snake ghost's face that was torn and tattered was gradually healing.

The snake ghost raised the half of the torn and healing face, and answered miserably and fearfully:

"Although these meat balls are the source of the plague, they have not yet taken effect. Only when these meat balls explode and blood and flesh fly everywhere, the source of the disease inside will spread out, and the plague will spread in this way."

After thinking for a while, Hori continued to ask:

"Why do we need to set a switch by exploding it? Wouldn't it be better to just let these meat balls spread the plague directly?" the female snake ghost cried.��：

"Our leader thought so too, but he said that this plague was created by him accidentally, and it was extremely contagious and had a very high mortality rate.……

"To what?"

"To the extent that our leader is not sure whether we ghosts will be infected with this plague."

Horitake felt a chill on his back again.

How terrible must it be that even ghosts could be infected with this plague?

The female snake ghost continued to explain:

"It is precisely because our leader is not sure whether this plague can infect us ghosts? That is why he set up such a switch. As long as the meat ball does not explode, the plague will not leak.

In this way, the meat ball in our ghost nest remains intact and closed, and we are absolutely safe.

When these children scatter the meat balls to Kusatsu, our leader will come over and control these meat balls to explode at close range to officially spread the plague."

The explanation of the female snake ghost is more reasonable.

Imagine that the plague is created by a laboratory in a research institute in a certain fort. In order to prevent leakage, it is well sealed in a test tube. When a country wants to harm people, it takes the test tube to a certain place, opens the test tube or directly smashes the test tube, and the plague leaks!

Isn't this a truth!?

Wait! Why does this plot look so familiar? Deja vu?

Never mind! Hori Gaku abandoned the sense of déjà vu and took care of the current situation.

He continued to interrogate the female snake ghost in front of him, asking for some specific details:

"I just don’t understand, why would your stupid leader spread the plague for no reason? What good would it do him? Or is he mentally ill and simply wants to destroy the world!?"

The female snake ghost explained fearfully:

"No... that's not the case. Our leader doesn't want to destroy the world, he wants to eat people."

"Nonsense, people are dying of plague! Where can he eat people! ?"

"Actually, our leader has done an experiment."

"Have you done any experiments? What were they?"

"He once captured a group of people and infected them with the plague. Although more than half of them died, a small number of them survived.

Those who survived successfully produced a special antibody in their bodies. This antibody can achieve a similar effect of thinning blood.

People with this antibody are not only delicious, but also have a good effect of enhancing strength.

In other words, eating a person with this antibody is equivalent to eating a dozen ordinary people.

This has a fatal attraction to us."

After hearing this, Hori Gaku called out in his heart,"

What the hell is this? A scientist among ghosts!? This guy is a genius! He can think of such a method and do it!

Let me briefly explain what rare blood is.

Rare blood refers to the rare existence among human blood types. After being eaten by ghosts, it is comparable to the effect of eating dozens or even hundreds of people. What's more, the blood is a rare type among rare blood, which can make ghosts who smell it drunk. For ghosts, it is just like a cellar of fine wine.

By the way, Fuzugawa Saneya is rare blood among rare blood.

And people who survived this plague produced antibodies in their bodies, which can actually achieve a rare blood-like effect.!

What is this? Artificial rare blood? No, rare blood created by ghosts!

Hori Gaku therefore understood the purpose of this damn ghost leader, he just wanted to eat people, wanted to eat more, tastier, more effective people, so as to enhance his strength as soon as possible.

But what to do if there is so little rare blood in the world?

This damn guy actually found another way, creating a lot of quasi-rare blood through plague, so that he can eat his fill! His strength can also be enhanced quickly.

As for most of the people who died from the plague, he didn't care.

Hori Gaku understood that the purpose of these ghosts initiating the plague was actually to eat better.

Scratching his head in distress, Hori Gaku asked helplessly:

"I really don't understand how your shitty leader could have researched this strange plague."

The female snake ghost said weakly:

"According to the leader, he discovered this by accident."

"Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to bother with these trivial matters. Tell me, who is this shitty leader of yours? Which one of the Twelve Ghost Moons is he?

The female snake ghost answered honestly:

"It is the sick leaf master of the third of the twelve demon moons."

""It turned out to be the Lower String Three," Hori Gaku complained angrily,"It turned out to be just the Lower String Three, and the harm it almost caused was no less than that of the Upper String.

This Sick Leaf will definitely die today!"

Although Sick Leaf is listed as the Lower String Three, in the original work, he only appeared a few times and had few lines before he was killed by Muzan in women's clothing.

The most impressive thing is that in the original work, when the Lower Strings were summoned and Muzan wanted to kill them, this Sick Leaf saw that Muzan was determined to kill them no matter what, and actually ran away!

Of course, he was killed by Muzan in the end.

In the original work, there was no explanation of Sick Leaf's blood demon art. Now we know that this guy's blood demon art is actually related to disease, which really deserves the name of Sick Leaf.

After confirming the identity of the enemy, Hori Gaku continued to ask the female snake demon:

"I just heard you say that Bing Ye plans to come to Kusatsu tonight. He comes to Kusatsu just to open the meat ball and spread the plague, right?"

The female snake ghost kept nodding.

When will he come?

The female snake ghost looked at the moon in the sky, roughly confirmed the time, and honestly explained:

"There is about an hour left, and the sick leaf leader plans to come to Kusatsu in the middle of the night to open the plague"

"So what are you here for?"

"The leader was worried that these kids were unreliable, so he asked me to come over in the middle of the night to monitor and provide support."

"Why did Bingye ask these children to come to Kusatsu to scatter the meatballs? Why didn't he come in person at night for such an important matter? Or send a ghost he trusted?"

The female snake ghost explained with a sad face:

"Because… because the leader had created too many meat balls, it was too tedious and too embarrassing to spread them one by one.

And we, the subordinates, were too bothered and worried that when we spread the meat balls, we would be infected with the plague.

It just so happened that I had a lot of children around me, so the leader requisitioned them."

The female snake demon doesn't need to explain what happened next, and Horitake added for him:

"But because these children are not fast enough to spread their meat balls all over Kusatsu overnight, you sent them out last night and let them work for almost a day and night.

The reason why you let them cover their faces with scarves is that you are afraid that the people in Kusatsu will find out that these children are abnormal.

Is that right?"

The female snake ghost kept nodding, indicating that you were right.
