Chapter 80: The Vortex (6)
With Nanami Haruhara, they returned to their current location, which was a makeshift shack. It is built with simple building materials, and it can only be said that it can shelter from the wind and rain. The only advantage is that around these four areas, there happens to be the remains of other buildings forming a U-shaped wall, so that if you don't get close, you can't find it at all, and it can also withstand some accidental tornadoes to a certain extent. That's it.
Seeing the return of Hideki Saito and others, Masao Goto first ran out to greet everyone, and then Hideki Saito's parents also came out of the shack.
As soon as she saw someone, Nanami Haruhara immediately said, "I'm Nanami Haruhara, a reporter from Toyo TV, do you have any other survivors?" Our car was blown over by a tornado, and my colleagues are now unknown for their lives, please help me. ”
When Hideki Saito's father heard this, he immediately said, "Someone had a car accident?!" It's not a trivial matter, go, where the people are, I'm going to help. ”
Hideki Saito's father was a warm-hearted person, but Hideki Saito grabbed him, shook his head wordlessly, and said, "Dad, don't worry. ”
Then, Hideki Saito looked at Nanami Haruhara and said, "Miss Haruhara, when you had a car accident, were you the only one who got out of the car?" ”
Nanami Haruhara nodded, still with an anxious expression on her face, and said, "Yes, that's why I was able to come to this town to ask for help, please, help me." Please......"
Since Nanami Haruhara can be the host of the TV station, her image will naturally not be too bad, looking at such a beautiful woman who is like a flower and jade showing a pleading expression, I believe that the hearts of ordinary people have long been softened and agreed to her pleas.
It's just that Hideki Saito said very calmly, "When did you come to Goto Town......
"This ......" Nanami Haruhara was stunned for a moment, and said, "We drove early in the morning, starting from Miyama City through the tunnel, and then ...... According to the time, it should be around 8 o'clock in the morning. ”
Hearing Nanami Haruhara's words, Hideki Saito, including Director Ma, all sighed, and then Hideki Saito said, "I'm sorry...... If what you say is true, in this world, even if we go, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
"Why?!" Nanami Haruhara said with some excitement: "Why do you say that? They are two lives! Is it just like seeing death and not being saved? ”
Hideki Saito lifted his glasses, covered her mouth with his hand in time, and said, "It's so dangerous...... Fortunately, it did not cause a tornado. Miss Haruhara, when I was on the road, I should have emphasized it to you repeatedly, right? Don't move too much here, and try to speak quietly, otherwise we will be unlucky to cause a tornado. ”
Nanami Haruhara also realized at this time, she was swept up by a tornado in the town before and fell into a coma because of this, if it caused a tornado here, it would be terrible.
She suddenly spoke quietly, but her face was also full of pleading.
"Please, help me......"
Wang Qiu couldn't help but say: "Miss Chunyuan, it's not that we don't help you, but your colleagues have all passed a day, if they are lucky enough not to die, eighty percent will also climb out of the car and come to this town for help." And if we haven't seen any strangers other than you for a day, they're probably dead. Unfortunately, you have a good chance of surviving that crash. ”
Nanami Haruhara listened to this, her body trembled, she still clearly remembered the tragic situation of the two colleagues in the car, she thought they could have a glimmer of life, but now a day has passed, and it is getting dark. With their injuries, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive.
"Why did it become like this...... Nanami Haruha was also desperate, the three of them were just here for an interview, why did this happen?
"Alas......" Dong Xie also sighed and said: "You and your colleagues, only you survived, and you didn't die in a tornado before, you are really blessed and fateful." Miss Haruhara, that's why you have to cherish life even more. We'd be happy to help you if we could, but it's hard enough for us to survive in this weird town...... We can't help you anymore. ”
"I ...... Got it......"
Saying this, it also means that Nanami Haruhara has completely accepted her fate.
That night, Dong Xie and the others took turns to keep vigil and rest at the same time. Nanami Haruhara was still very lucky, not only did she survive the tornado, but she was also lucky to meet Dong Xie and them, and after bandaging her injuries, she gave her a few anti-inflammatory pills and let her sleep.
And Dong Xie and Wang Qiu, who were keeping vigil, were also discussing the next step of their mission......
"Well, it's been a month, and we still can't get back to the apartment. It seems that we are either really going back to four years ago, or we are really in the world of manga as Hideki said. ”
Wang Qiu looked at the fire, threw a piece of firewood into it, and said.
Dong Xie also sighed and said, "Hey, this ghost mission, if we stay like this, I'm afraid we will all have to die here." ”
Wang Qiu nodded, he also agreed with Dong Xie's statement, and said, "That's right, although we haven't really encountered any ghosts yet. But there are so many weird things going on in the town, remember the snail man we found in the morning. ”
Hearing Wang Qiu talk about the snail man, Dong Xie suddenly shuddered, remembering the snail man they had seen in the ruins in the morning...... That was the first time Dong Xie saw the legendary snail man with his own eyes. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still startled when he saw the snail man, and almost screamed.
The snail man, carrying a shell about a meter in diameter, had a huge body wriggling and crawling on the ground, and the head still had obvious human features!
Dong Xie had heard a theory before, probably saying that human fear often stems from the distortion of human beings themselves. For example, just seeing a lion, a snake, or something might not be terrifying. However, if this lion or snake had a human face, it would become extremely terrifying. For example, there is a human face on the wings of a butterfly...... Anything that seems ordinary, once it is added with human characteristics, will easily arouse the fear of human beings themselves.
And the horror of the snail man comes from this.
