Hideki Saito took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Makoto, if I can, why don't I want to save everyone?" But it's not a natural disaster, it's not a tsunami, it's not an earthquake, it's a volcanic eruption or something. It's a curse power that we humans can't comprehend! I can't find any way to combat this curse, it's been a year...... It's been a whole year...... During this time, I didn't even go to school. I hope to find a way to lift this curse and save everyone. ”

"But ......"

Hideki Saito grabbed his hair with his hand, his expression was painful, and he said bitterly, "No way...... No way, no way! No matter how much I think about it, no matter how much I think about it, I just can't find any way to save everyone. There is no solution to this curse, and it is impossible for humans to fight against it. Escaping here is the only way I can think of. However, this method will not convince the people of the town to flee the town all! I also tried to convince the town government that they would let everyone evacuate, but ...... Do you know? They all thought I was crazy, sent me back home, warned my parents to stop making trouble, and even told me to go to a mental hospital for a check-up! ”

When Hideki Saito said this, he couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly and said, "After all, everything I said was just my nonsense, and I couldn't come up with any definite evidence." Even if I told them about the weird things that happened in town, they wouldn't believe it. It's like this town is constantly hypnotizing everyone here...... Zhenqin, haven't you found out? ”

A little teardrop appeared in Goto Makoto's eyes at this time, she didn't expect Hideki to silently make so many efforts, but after all, Hideki Saito was only a high school student, and it was impossible to persuade people from a town to relocate.

Saito Hideki didn't wait for Goto Makoto to answer, so he said to himself: "In this town, a lot of terrible things have happened since last year. But no one but us felt anything was wrong! Even when the curse of the snail man appeared, everyone avoided it at most, and they didn't even think about escaping from here, or looking for foreign help! Even the police didn't take any further action! ”

Hearing Hideki Saito say this, Goto Makoto was also suddenly shocked, that's right, what Saito Hideki said was not wrong at all, if so many weird and terrifying things happened in other places, it stands to reason that it would have caused a sensation a long time ago. This is not just happening around Goto Makoto and Hideki Saito, but the entire Goto Town is undergoing this kind of change! Not to mention anything else, just the snail people in the school. So many people have experienced such a strange and terrifying incident firsthand, and they have calmed down like this...... Not only did it not cause any sensation, but no one even cared about it!

"Hideki, is it possible, this is also the curse of the whirlpool?" Goto Makoto couldn't help but ask.

Hideki Saito nodded silently and said, "This town...... In hypnotizing us, no, it should be said that it has a life of its own, a consciousness of its own. It doesn't want us to leave here. So ......"

Hideki Saito squeezed Goto Makoto's hand and said, "Now, I just want to save my relatives and lovers around me, I am not so great, and I don't have such a strong power to save others." The only thing I can do is to do everything in my power to get you out of here and protect your lives. Makoto, will you come with me? ”

Goto Makoto smiled, but when she laughed, two lines of tears flowed from her cheeks, and she said with tears while laughing, "Fool, do you think I have any other choice?" Since the day both my parents died, I had already decided...... If I will die in the future, I would at least like to die in your arms. ”

Hideki Saito hugged Goto Makoto and swore in her ear-

"Makoto, if you are going to die, then I will always hold you and be with you as I am now...... Let's go to Huangquan together. ”

On that day, Hideki Saito and Makoto Goto made up their minds to escape from the whirlpool with their families.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. After Goto Makoto and her brother got angry, at dinner that night, Goto Makoto and her brother sang and expressed their desire to travel.

Hideki Saito's parents naturally didn't feel at ease and let the two of them travel alone, so they persuaded them for a long time. Seizing this opportunity, Hideki Saito proposed that it would be better for everyone to go on a trip together, and anyway, it had been a long time since a family trip.

Eventually, this proposal was accepted by Hideki Saito's parents. Because Goto Makoto's attitude was so resolute that it was like if she didn't agree, she would really take her brother on a trip by herself.

Therefore, Hideki Saito's parents decided to take the Goto Makoto siblings and Hideki Saito together three days later, and the two families went out together for a long-lost family trip.

But...... Will it really be in time? In Hideki Saito's heart, I don't think about it without worry.

The three days passed in a blink of an eye, because it was a family trip for a long time, so even if the weather didn't look so good, everyone was still ready to go together in a happy atmosphere.

This time, after discussion, we decided to take a trip to Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, which was a long way away. For this reason, Hideki Saito's father specially rented a small passenger car.

Since Goto Town is a town with three mountains and facing the sea, the access to the outside world is nothing more than a tram, a boat, and the only mountain road to the outside world, which also has to pass through a long tunnel.

After Hideki Saito's father drove the car up the mountain, Hideki Saito was keenly aware of it...... On this mountain, all the plants were distorted, the trees began to twist in a spiral, and the weeds on the ground directly turned into swirls......

This made Saito Hideki worried, but he couldn't help but feel a little happy...... Luckily, they left in time, otherwise they might not have been able to escape from here.

Just as Hideki Saito was thinking this, the car drove into the tunnel.

It was also at this time that Hideki Saito suddenly felt as if his body was in the air!

I only heard a loud bang! The car actually overturned!

"What's going on? Father! Mom! Real Jean! Masao! ”

Because Hideki Saito was wearing a seat belt at all times, he was in a car accident at this time, but he was not injured, but his forehead was broken.

When he pushed the car door hard and climbed out first, he was stunned.

Before his eyes, the tunnel...... It turned into a spiral shape!
