Later, Goto Makoto's father behaved more and more strangely. According to Goto Makoto's description, his father seems to be becoming more and more terrifying.

Except for the initial act of using his eyeballs to spin to create a whirlpool, his tongue can actually stretch like a chameleon, and the length of that tongue has exceeded the limit of a normal human, and not only that, but he can also roll his tongue up like a real chameleon!

That feeling is very similar to a kind of bubble gum called "Da" that people of the post-90s generation often ate when they were young, which is a kind of bubble gum rolled up in a box, similar to the current "Sure Enough".

But that's not bubble gum, that's the human tongue! Imagine how terrifying it would be if a human tongue could be curled up like a chameleon and shaped into the shape of a snail shell?!

Originally, Goto Makoto also wanted to tell Hideki Saito about it. However, since Hideki Saito's father was also affected by the whirlpool, Hideki Saito has become more immersed in restoring the history of Goto Town and solving the mystery of this town.

He even asked for a long vacation from the school, and kept going back and forth between Sanshan City and Goto Town next door, almost emptying the city library. He was not willing to leave out any information about Goto Town.

This was supported by one of his uncles, his father's college classmate, a professor of humanities and social sciences at the University of Tokyo. Originally, it was very controversial whether history could be classified as a humanities, but professors who studied humanities and social sciences generally studied history well. He just felt that Hideki Saito's diligent study of the history of Goto Town was supported purely out of academic interest. Absolutely did not expect that Hideki Saito did this to save the relatives around him!

However, when the clock blink of an eye, it is the middle of October.

On this day, Goto Makoto, together with her mother and younger brother, went to the mental health center in Miyama City, which is commonly known as a psychiatric hospital.

Goto Makoto's father, Goto Kusuke, his various abnormal behaviors since this time, in fact, not only Goto Makoto, but even her mother and younger brother are also feeling a lot of pressure.

This kind of pressure makes them really unbearable, and their spirits are about to be pushed to the limit.

Under this kind of pressure, Goto Makoto's mother couldn't bear it anymore, and finally decided to secretly take Goto Makoto and Goto Masao to the Sanshan City Mental Health Center next door on this day, and ask the psychiatrist there.

However, it was this day that they were not at home, which led to the subsequent incident......

That evening will never be forgotten by Goto Makoto......

At that time, she and her mother and younger brother finally returned from Sanshan City, and according to the doctor's advice, they originally planned to have a good talk with her father, and in the name of doing a physical examination, let him go to the mental health center in person tomorrow and let the doctor come to give him a comprehensive examination. At this point, everyone has already been mentally prepared, and even thought that if Goto Kusuke makes a big noise and refuses to go, even if he drags the in-laws next door, that is, the Saito family, they have to take him over for inspection.

However, Goto Makoto, her mother and younger brother, who had planned everything in their hearts, just walked into the house, but found that the house was surprisingly quiet.

At this time, it has been autumn for a while, and it gets dark very quickly, so if you don't turn on the lights at home at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is pitch black.

Turning on the lights all the way, everyone began to look for Goto Makoto's father, because the door of the house was not locked, and nothing was lost at home, so Goto Kusuke should be at home.

However, when the three of them rummaged through the entire house, they found that there was no figure of Kusuke Goto anywhere, and he was not in the small workshop in the backyard.

The only thing that made the three of them feel strange was that in the living room of their house, there was a large and unusual wooden barrel with a lid.

This barrel looks like a large barrel used in a sushi restaurant to hold rice, but it doesn't look like it should be at home.

"This cask...... What's in it? Goto's mother frowned and reached for the lid of the barrel.

When she stretched out her hand, Goto Makoto could clearly see that her mother's hand was trembling, and maybe they really had a premonition in their hearts...... A sense of foreboding.

However, regardless of this premonition, when Goto Makoto's mother removed the lid, the image in the barrel ...... They were still so frightened that they almost lost consciousness!

It turns out that Goto Makoto's father, Kusuke Goto, is actually in this barrel!

His body was covered in red fruit, and his body was like soft plasticine, rolled into the shape of a whirlpool, and then the whole person was curled up in this barrel!

It looked like a centipede under attack, curled up in a spiral swirl shape, but ...... How can humans be like real centipedes?!

Goto Makoto's father...... And so he died. The bones of his whole body were shattered, and his whole body was like a ball of soft noodles, and when the funeral home staff were called to collect the body, the funeral home staff were so frightened that they couldn't even stand on their feet...... No one knows how Kusuke Goto got into this barrel, but according to the police's later investigation, they came to a frightening conclusion, that is, Goto Kusuke, he twisted himself into the shape of a whirlpool and got into this barrel!

In the end, Yusuke Goto's death was claimed to have been caused by an accidental fall while going down the stairs. Otherwise, if such a horrific and bizarre death of his was publicized, it would definitely cause a huge panic.

And this matter, except for Goto Makoto and her mother, only Saito Hideki knows. Her brother was lucky enough to be out of the living room at that time, so he didn't see his father die so strangely, otherwise he would have lived in nightmares for the rest of his life.

On the day Goto Makoto's father was cremated, black smoke rose from the crematorium and formed a huge black vortex in the sky, enveloping the entire town of Goto.

This horrific scene was seen by all the people in the town.

Then, the black smoke began to fall in a spiral, and it continued to submerge into the dragonfly pond in the center of Goto Town, which looked like a black vortex in the sky, swallowed by the dragonfly pool!
