Such a strange and bizarre scene not only surprised the relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral, but also made Saito Hideki angry with an extremely ominous premonition in his heart...... He won't forget that it was because her father came into contact with the soil of Dragonfly Pond that there was a series of changes.

At this moment, Goto Makoto's mother suddenly pointed to the sky trembling and let out a terrifying scream-

"Babble, babble, babble—"

"Babble!"

"Babbling ......"

She collapsed to the ground as if she had been sucked of her bones, and grabbed her face with her hands frantically, almost scratching herself, as if she had been terribly frightened.

Her crazy behavior naturally alarmed the people around her, and Goto Makoto hugged her to stop her from continuing to hurt herself.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and stop! Ambulance, hurry up and call an ambulance! ”

The crowd was in chaos, but in the midst of the panic, only Goto Makoto and Hideki Saito saw clearly, and they all turned their eyes to the sky and saw the source of Goto Makoto's mother being scared crazy......

In the sky, the black smoke that had originally drifted out of the crematorium formed a whirlpool shape that covered the entire town of Goto. However, in the outermost layer of the black smoke, a huge man's face actually emerged!

Although the man's face was also pulled and twisted into a linear, whether it was Goto Makoto or Saito Hideki, they would never be mistaken, that face ...... It's clearly Goto Makoto's father, the face of Kusuke Goto!

The moment they saw the face clearly, an eerie voice suddenly sounded in their heads.

The voice was hoarse as if swallowing a bottle of glass slag in his throat, and there was a strange allure, but the voice was familiar to them, and that ...... It's the voice of Kusuke Goto!

"Hey, wife, you should become a whirlpool sooner."

Kusuke Goto's face and voice made them feel cold in their hands and feet, and their bodies froze. However, at that time, the people around them thought that they were at a loss due to an unexpected situation, and no one cared at all.

However, Goto Makoto and Saito Hideki both know very well in their hearts that this is definitely the source that caused Goto Makoto's mother to go crazy!

After the funeral, Goto Makoto's mother was admitted to Goto Hospital, the largest and only hospital in Goto Town. After entering the hospital, Goto's mother showed a strong fear of the whirlpool.

She kept saying, "Vortex! It's scary! It's scary! Whirlpool! Whirlpool! There's a whirlpool! There are whirlpools! No! Don't come near me! There are whirlpools......"

Later, she was diagnosed by a doctor with a mental illness called Vortex Phobia, which is simply similar to a fear of heights, or a fear of clowns, which causes a natural fear of Vortex.

Under the torture of this disease, Goto Makoto's mother quickly weakened, and even her usual eating became a problem. Even if the people who visited her, including doctors and nurses, were deliberately wary, they didn't expect that after she found out that the fingerprints on her fingers were swirl-shaped, she actually used scissors to cut off all the fingerprints on her ten fingers!

The successive accidents of his parents made Goto Makoto more and more haggard, which also made Saito Hideki sad.

However, because of what happened at Goto Makoto's house, it also made Saito Hideki's parents feel even more distressed about the Goto Makoto sisters and brothers, not only preparing three meals a day for them, but even persuading them to simply move to Saito's house every day.

However, Goto Makoto has been reluctant to move to their house because she doesn't want to affect Hideki Saito's family. But as everyone knows, without her knowledge, Saito Hideki's father was actually gradually eroded by the whirlpool......

After the death of Kusuke Goto, I don't know why, there were people in Goto Town who died due to various accidents.

The reasons for the death of these people are varied, but after their deaths, a common denominator emerged...... That is, every time they are cremated, there will be that black swirling smoke, and eventually the black smoke will be absorbed by the dragonfly pool.

Every time I saw this scene, people who didn't know were amazed, and only Goto Makoto and Saito Hideki were cold in their hearts.

Hideki Saito felt more and more that he could no longer stay in this town, but Goto Makoto's mother was still hospitalized and couldn't leave to take care of him. In particular, Hideki Saito has been digging up various documents about Goto Town since these days, and he has vaguely obtained an important information.

Before this information was completely explained, Hideki Saito didn't dare to leave here rashly.

However, Hideki Saito's parents, after a period of deliberation, decided to let Goto Makoto's mother move to Miyama City, which has better medical conditions next door, to recuperate. Although Goto Makoto has other relatives in the family, as the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, the Goto family and the Saito family are future in-laws, and it is not a problem for the two families to say that they are a family. Therefore, the relevant matters after Goto Makoto's mother was hospitalized were actually handled by Hideki Saito's parents.

They made this decision because Goto's mother's condition was getting worse and worse, and the treatment at Goto Hospital was limited, so the doctor recommended that she be transferred to Miyama City, where medical conditions were better.

However, what people didn't expect was that it was the night before they were ready to transfer to the hospital. Goto Makoto's mother actually pierced her ear with scissors!

That night, Goto Makoto's mother was pushed into the emergency room and resuscitated all night before being rescued.

Later, after repeated questioning, I learned from her mouth that the reason was because she didn't know where she knew, and there was an organ called "cochlea" in the human body. Therefore, she was extremely afraid of the whirlpool, and actually pierced her cochlea directly with scissors!

This shocking change made Saito Hideki's heart feel extremely cold, could it be ...... Is the curse in this town unwilling to let all the cursed people get out of here alive?

Goto Makoto's mother, until her death, could not escape the attack on the fear of the whirlpool.

When she punctured her cochlea with scissors, she also destroyed the part of her body that kept her balance and sensations, causing intense dizziness. Therefore, she can only lie in bed every day and wail, saying something like "the body is spinning, constantly spinning", "don't! I don't want to be a whirlpool! Something like that.

In the end, she still didn't make it through the end of the year.

On the day of the cremation, black swirls of smoke rose again in the sky above the town!
