Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Horitake's next words were beyond the system's expectations:

"System, you really won’t harm me! ?"

The doubt in this sentence was already beyond words.

The system seemed a little anxious, and the tone was a little panicked:

"Please trust the system. The system will never harm the host. The relationship between the system and the host is that we prosper together and suffer together!"

Hori Gaku had no expression on his face. He calmly communicated with the system through his mind:

"I am willing to believe that you will not harm me.

But I don't like being led by the nose.

System, I'm not a fool. The tasks you issued before seemed to be predicting the future and assisting me in completing the tasks.

In fact, you are leading me by the nose and want me to follow your script.

Especially what happened in Kusatsu County last time. Although the task was not triggered last time, everything was too coincidental, everything was so timely, and everything was so reasonable.

It makes me feel like I am following a script and it is going very smoothly."

After Hori Gaku said this to the system, the system was really panicked, and the panic could be heard:

"Host, I...I...please believe me, the system will never harm you no matter what! There is absolutely no problem with this! Please believe me!"

The system's tone became very earnest, even a little begging.

Horitake said calmly through his inner voice:

"Let me guess how the next script will develop.

According to your prediction, the future should be like this:

The bandit demon did not go back, and Akaza also learned the approximate location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Akaza found two lower-rank demons as helpers, summoned hundreds of demons under his command, and prepared to attack the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters tomorrow night.

A big battle is inevitable.

Before the big battle tomorrow night, just in case, I will ask Yoya to transfer the living forces of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and I will also ask the Ubuyashiki family to evacuate in time, leaving an empty headquarters as a battlefield.

In the big battle tomorrow night, I will bravely move forward, lead the way, defeat or even kill Akaza.

Is the mission accomplished? Will everything be happy?

Impossible.

Don't forget that Akaza is Muzan's most loyal subordinate and Muzan's favorite subordinate.

If Akaza is in danger or even dying, how can Muzan not react?

Relying on Naruto's blood demon art, Muzan can either summon Akaza away, scold him, and then come directly.

Or he will appear directly, save Akaza, and then kill all of us!

In other words, I will eventually face Muzan no matter what.

But at this time, the living forces of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters have been transferred away, and I can also persuade Sister Shinobu and Mitsuri to leave.

In this way, I don't have to be restrained, and I can fight to the death.

I will use my life to severely injure Muzan! Then die.

However, because of the effect of the substitute doll, I can locate another resurrection location before I die, and resurrect silently after death without attracting anyone's attention.

On the other hand, after Muzan killed me, he didn't know that I could be resurrected.

What was left for him was only the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters that had been transferred away, and he got nothing else.

Muzan will definitely be extremely angry, but anger is useless. He can only return to the Infinite City to recuperate in shame without getting anything.

As for the Demon Slayer Corps that have been transferred away, they must be heartbroken after learning of my sacrifice, and their hatred for Muzan has increased. Due to anger and grief, their overall strength has increased. What about me after my resurrection? I definitely can't show up in front of the Demon Slayer Corps again with great fanfare.

But I can secretly appear in front of Sister Shinobu, Mitsuri and Yoya.

They must be very surprised.

Then what?

I will go from the light to the dark, hide, and become the Demon Slayer Corps, the sharpest dark night blade.

At the same time, because of my previous heroic sacrifice, my status and prestige in the Demon Slayer Corps' high-level officials are rising, almost on par with Yoya.

When the right time comes, I will go from the dark to the light, play a greater role, and gain greater prestige.

Is this the script you have arranged next? Dog system! ?"

The system was silent in Hori Gaku's mind. He didn't say a word, and he really didn't know how to answer.

Because Hori Gaku had predicted his subsequent arrangements exactly, and almost every detail was correct.

Hori Gaku knew that although the system didn't speak, it had been listening, so Hori Gaku continued:

"It's really a good script! I want to applaud this plot!

System, under the premise of confirming that you will not harm me, sometimes I think that it seems to be a good thing to follow your script and your arrangement.

But I'm sorry, it's a pity, I don't like being led by the nose, and I don't want to be a puppet. Anyway

, system, you are my plug-in, and a large part of my current situation is indeed dependent on your help, and I am very grateful for this.

I really don't want to be led by the nose, but your wholehearted help and your wholehearted arrangements are wasted like this, isn't it a pity?"

Hearing Horitake say this, the system's tone was a little excited:

"Host, you mean……"

"What I mean is, I will follow your arrangement, but not completely.

I have my own ideas, and this idea has already taken shape in my mind.

Based on your arrangement and modified with my ideas, I think I can get greater benefits and it is more in line with my interests.

The system is OK, no need to worry about it.

I am very grateful for your help in cheating.

You have helped me so much, I am very grateful.

I am also willing to believe that you will not harm me, and I will not be hostile to you because of this.

But unfortunately, the situation of being led by you by the nose is gone forever.

How will this matter develop next? You just wait and see."

After saying this, Hori Gaku no longer paid attention to the system.

The system wanted to say something to Hori Gaku, but at this point, he didn't know what to say.

The system now feels like parents to their children.

Parents will definitely not harm their children, and parents will arrange the path for their children. They want their children to go on smoothly.

But one day, the parents were shocked to find that their children had their own ideas.

Their children would not follow their own arrangements completely. They had their own ideas, wanted to make changes, and wanted to live out their own lives.

Noticing the changes in their children, the parents felt both relieved and complicated.

This is probably how the system feels about Hori Gaku at the moment.
