The group walked down the hill until it was past noon, and then they arrived at Hideki Saito's house. As soon as they got home, Hideki Saito's mother also hurriedly beckoned Dong Xie and them to come.

"I'm sorry, the place at home is small, and I have to grieve everyone."

Hideki Saito's mother said as she served everyone a cup of hot tea.

Director Ma politely said polite words, but Dong Xie and Wang Qiu didn't have that mind, when they went down the mountain, they each began to use their mobile phones to try to surf the Internet, to check if it was really five years ago. If so, when will they be able to complete their mission and return to their apartment?

However, on the way down the mountain, they had already discovered one thing, that is, the mobile phone could not connect to the Internet at all, and even the phone could not be called. However, this is somewhat unexpected, after all, the side of Goto Town has been completely cursed by the whirlpool, and it is normal to cut off communication from the outside world or something.

Seeing that everyone's mood was not very high, Saito Hideki said: "Everyone, now that you're here, there's no way, let's stay at my house first, and later, let's go out to find out the clues of the manga artist." ”

"What cartoonist?" Hideki Saito's father asked.

"Dad, do you know if there are any cartoonists living here in our town?" Hideki Saito didn't answer, but asked.

"Huh? Ask me...... I want to think about it. Saito Hideki's father also scratched his ears and cheeks, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still shook his head and said, "Alas...... I really can't answer this question yet, Hideki. I don't know if anyone in our town draws comics...... Anyway, Hideki, what are you looking for a manga artist to do? ”

Hideki Saito thought for a moment and said, "Before we came back, we heard the news that there is a person in Goto Town who has a clue to unlock the curse of the whirlpool. But we don't know the specific information about this person, only to find out that this person seems to be a cartoonist. Therefore, we can only use this clue to search, at least to know who is a cartoonist in the town. ”

"That's right...... Then I'll go out in the afternoon and help you inquire......" Hideki Saito's father was also affected by the whirlpool. But overall, both physically and mentally, he has maintained the level of a normal person, and he has not yet reached the point where he doesn't want to leave this town. What's more, this also involves the safety of his family, so after learning the news, he also wanted to help a little.

In any case, after a busy morning, everyone is now a little hungry.

Before, because I had to travel, I naturally didn't have ingredients at home, so I could only use some quick-frozen food to solve it temporarily, but fortunately, everyone was not picky, but after filling my stomach, I was ready to go out to find clues about the cartoonist.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Hideki Saito and the other five people all went out to wander around the town.

Although they said that they were looking for clues from cartoonists, they also knew that they were in a hurry to do so, especially to confirm it...... Are they now really back to five years ago.

Being able to see his parents and younger brother again, Hideki Saito and Makoto Goto were really surprised. They are also very skeptical, is this fake? Is it an illusion created by the apartment's bloody letter? Or is it ...... Are they actually in a dream?

The bloody quest in the apartment, the more bizarre and bizarre it gets, and even distorts the concept of time and space, making it impossible to distinguish the boundary between reality and dreams, and sometimes even not even knowing whether they are dead or not.

These things are all bloody cases, there have been similar bloody tasks before, either time and space are distorted, or they are trapped in nightmares and can't extricate themselves, and some are even simply teleported to another dimension, if there is no privilege to teleport back to the apartment, it is equivalent to sending them to death.

Therefore, after returning to Goto Town after a five-year absence, Saito Hideki and the others were also very skeptical, did they also fall into some kind of dream? It's just that, compared to this speculation, everyone still trusts the vortex curse in this town more.

Walking through the town and feeling the familiar scenery all around, this country town with fresh air and quiet and pleasant is really a good place to settle down and retire with a slow pace of life.

It's just that if it was five years ago, it would have been affected by a typhoon, and it would have been a good day for a while. For two or three days at most, once the typhoon lands, everyone is forced to fortify their houses, prepare instant noodles and other emergency food and stay at home, waiting for the typhoon to pass.

And Dong Xie, who already knew all this, even made him even less optimistic about the future situation because of some memories before the time travel and the cartoons he saw in the nightmare last night...... If everything really goes according to the manga.

As long as the typhoon does come, the town will completely become an island at sea, and not only will no one be able to escape, but they will also have to worry about their lives.

"Hideki...... Is that you? ”

While everyone was wandering around the town, looking for possible clues and trying to understand the town's traffic and building layout, Saito Hideki was suddenly stopped.

Everyone turned around, but found that it was a slightly chubby high school student, who was still carrying a bat on his shoulder, and when he saw Hideki Saito turn around, he showed a smile that was half surprised and half kind, and trotted all the way over, saying, "Hideki, it's really you." ”

Hideki Saito showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but immediately said in a tentative tone, "...... Tanaka? ”

"Haha...... Sure enough, it's you, Hideki. The high school student named Tanaka smiled nonchalantly and said, "Didn't you take a leave of absence to go on a family trip?" Why haven't you left yet? By the way, are they all your relatives? Also, it's only been a few days, how do I feel...... You still have a real piano, why does it seem to have changed? ”

Tanaka's words filled Saito Hideki's face with a complicated expression, and at the same time, there was a hint of nostalgia, seeing this high school student named Tanaka, who was also a classmate of Saito Hideki in the past, which made Saito Hideki think of a lot of memories of the past.

Compared to five years ago, Hideki Saito is now a little taller and more mature at the same time, and he said, "Oh, because of the typhoon, the family trip was postponed. I'll introduce you to you, Tanaka, they're all my friends, and we're ...... I met at a fan club on the Internet. ”
