The first appearance of the snail people was about a month ago.

At that time, in Goto Makoto's class, the behavior of a male classmate became very strange. He only came back to school on rainy days, and he didn't wear an umbrella, and by the time he got to class, he was already wet. Not only that, but every time he came to class, he must have finished the first class and started the second class, which means that he was late every day......

But, according to his own words, he went out at the normal time every time.

If what he said was true, he was probably moving too slowly.

It is true that he is not able to move slowly, not only can he kill people as if he is going to lose his breath when he speaks, but he usually walks slowly, slower than an old man on crutches, and over time, he finally got the nickname of Snail King.

In those days, it rained in Goto Town for several days in a row, and it was precisely because of this that Goto Makoto was able to see exactly the changes in Snail-kun.

On the first day he came to school, when he passed by Goto Makoto's seat, Goto Makoto clearly felt that this snail-kun classmate had become a little hunched over. But how can a young and healthy high school student be hunchbacked? The high schools in Goto Town are not very academically heavy, and if students have high ambitions, they have to enroll in cram schools or study on their own. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the snail king to be crushed by the schoolbag and hunchbacked. Could it be that he is sick?

In the next day's physical education class, Snail-kun lost a volleyball match between classes because of his slow movements, which made the bad-tempered boys in the class very angry, so he specially stripped Snail-kun's clothes to humiliate him. And it's the kind that is covered in the body, and he doesn't even have underwear left. Although the girls at that time immediately screamed and covered their faces or turned around, before turning around, Goto Makoto saw that on Snail-kun's back, a swirl pattern appeared that covered his entire back!

On the third day, the hunchback on Snail-kun's body ...... No, it was no longer a hunchback, but a distinct tumor-like protrusion, which could be clearly seen on his wet clothes, in the shape of a swirl, behind him...... It makes him look like a snail with a shell on his back!

On the fourth day, his tumor grew bigger and bigger, and he almost broke his clothes.

And on the fifth day......

On that day, under the horrified gaze of everyone, Snail-kun actually crawled on the ground to come to school! On his back, he carried a huge snail shell! His whole person seems to have turned into a giant snail man!

On that day, Goto Makoto didn't want to stay in school for even a second, but the mutation in Snail-kun's body, after getting through the initial fear, aroused the interest of the other students, but this didn't include Goto Makoto.

As a result, it was time for the sixth day...... On that day, Snail King arrived at school earlier than everyone else. However, he is not using a human identity...... Instead, it turned into a real giant snail! Although he still has a human head, his entire body has been transformed into a giant snail!

When Goto Makoto saw Snail-kun climbing on the wall of the school building, leaving traces of slime, her mind went blank, and there was only one thought-

"That's a curse, it's a curse of the maels!"

Later, the teachers of the school invited Snail Jun's parents, but their parents refused to believe that their son had turned into a giant snail!

Eventually, Snail-kun is left in the school, and his parents seem to be unwilling to believe all this, and they are constantly looking for him in and around Goto Town.

Snail-kun turned into a real snail, and this matter was naturally known to many people in the school, and classmates like Goto Makoto could even be said to have seen his changes with their own eyes, so at that time, Snail-kun almost became a rare animal like a giant panda, and many students watched every day.

Among them, some bad boys poked him with branches very maliciously, and even hit him with stones, and after being stopped, they said confidently: "Anyway, he is no longer a human now, he is a snail now!" No matter how much he is bullied by humans, he won't talk back. ”

But as a result, within a few days, they all became snail people like Snail King!

Eventually, they were locked up with Snail-kun and became companions.

Hideki Saito had also heard Goto Makoto talk about these things, but he didn't know what happened to those snail people in the end......

Goto Makoto said: "In the end, Snail-kun, that is, Katayama-san, escaped from the cage and fled all the way to the mountain. Mr. Kiriyama also found their eggs on the mountain, as if because snails are hermaphrodites, so they can mate at will. The name of the snail man was also given by Mr. Kiriyama. Kiriyama honestly said that the eggs couldn't stay, so he crushed them all. But as a result, it didn't take long for Mr. Kiriyama to become a snail man. After that, gradually everyone did not dare to approach the snail man anymore, for fear that they would also be infected. ”

Hideki Saito said: "The snail man is not a virus, but a curse, and if you want to avoid this curse, you can only escape from here." ”

Goto Makoto said: "However, Masao is still in elementary school, and he still has his uncle and aunt......"

Hideki Saito pondered for a while and said, "I think I can find a reason to cheat my parents away before the typhoon arrives in the past few days, and how about a family trip?" However, what I said may not be very useful, Makoto, and it's up to you to talk about it. ”

"Me?" Goto Makoto pointed at herself.

"Yes, if you say that you and Masao want to travel, my parents will definitely be worried, so I can take the opportunity to say, 'Why don't we go on a trip together', as long as I can leave Goto Town, and then delay it for a while, and when the curse in Goto Town is in full swing, I don't have to come back. That way, maybe everyone will be saved! ”

"Okay then......" Goto Makoto nodded and agreed to Hideki Saito's plan.

Hideki Saito said: "I have already found out about this year's typhoon on the Internet, and it may not be long before the typhoon will make landfall in Goto Town. Then it will be too late, Makoto, and we must take advantage of the next few days to leave this town cursed by the whirlpool with your brother and my parents. ”

"But ......" Suddenly, Goto Makoto hesitated again and said, "Wouldn't it be too selfish just for us to escape from here?" Shall we tell the people of the town? ”
