Chapter Seventy-Three: Life and ...... No Solution (5)
Keizo Ito, born in 1983, graduated from Nagoya Dental Technical College and has worked as a dental technician for five years. In 2006, Keizo Ito quit his job as a dental technician and returned to his hometown to specialize in manga. According to the survey, Keizo Ito seems to have admired the horror manga master Kazuo Kunato since he was a child, and it seems that he made up his mind to create manga because of this. ”
Keizo Ito made his debut in serializing horror manga in the Halloween monthly magazine published by Asahi Press, but only one year later, the Halloween monthly magazine with the theme of publishing horror manga was discontinued. Since then, Ito has contributed to several magazines, mainly short horror manga. However, the response was mediocre and it was not able to achieve great success. It is worth mentioning that in 2010, he tweeted a message saying that he wanted to create a long-form comic, and he predicted that it would be the most terrifying horror comic in human history, and it would be an unprecedented success. ”
However, since then, he has gradually faded out of the public eye, and there is less and less news about him, and in less than a year, he has been almost forgotten by the world. And the one he predicted, the most terrifying horror comic in human history, has never been reported......"
"It's fair to say that since 2011, Ito hasn't heard from him at all. Originally, we might have been able to learn about him through his family. However, as you know, there is no one left in Ayako's house, and her parents have never been seen, and it seems that they disappeared before we entered Goto Town. ”
Boom......
Thunder exploded outside the window, and a loud thunder interrupted Hideki Saito's words.
In Hideki Saito's room, it was still morning, but the lights were already on. Because outside the house at this time, there is not much difference from the night...... Thick dark clouds covered the entire town, and not a single ray of sunlight could fall on the town. The rain poured down from the sky as if it were going to drown the entire town. Occasional thunderstorms, accompanied by violent winds, still make people feel insecure even if they have been fortified, and it seems that they will be destroyed by this terrible typhoon at any moment.
"It's a pity......"
Dong Xie sighed and said, "The time is too short, we can only find such a little bit of information......"
"There's no way around it...... Wang Qiu also shook his head and sighed, and said, "With such a strong typhoon outside, it's impossible to go out to find death, right?" ”
Director Ma opened the curtain with great interest, glanced at the apocalyptic scene outside, and said, "Are all typhoons in coastal areas so exaggerated?" It's the first time I've seen such a powerful typhoon. ”
When Hideki Saito and Makoto Goto heard Director Ma's words, they looked at each other for a while, and then laughed bitterly......
After experiencing the supernatural incident of Keiso Ito's family on that day, everyone focused on searching for information about Keizo Ito.
According to their plan, they hope to find out all the information about Keizo Ito as soon as possible, including what color underwear he wore before.
However...... They only had time to search for two days before they had to stop the search.
Not because they had met a ghost, but for a more ordinary reason...... Typhoon.
As mentioned earlier, the town of Goto is already approaching a typhoon, and Hideki Saito's parents are also preparing for the typhoon in advance.
However, I thought that there would be a few days of buffer time, but I didn't expect that this typhoon would make landfall all of a sudden since last night.
As a result, everyone had to be trapped in Hideki Saito's house and couldn't go anywhere.
The typhoon outside is a super typhoon that people like Dong Xie, Wang Qiu, and Director Ma who live inland, and have never experienced in their lives.
Today's typhoon is so powerful that it is not a once-in-a-decade event. At least Dong Xie would never dare to go out in this weather, that was a joke with his own life......
As a result, the people who are trapped at home and can't go out can only sort out and analyze the information that Keizo Ito can collect so far.
"So far, that's all there is to it."
In a notebook, all the information collected by Keizo Ito has been written down by Hideki Saito, and they are listed one by one, and they are organized quite concisely.
However, all this information together cannot be written on a single page, which is really pitiful.
This is already their limit, after all, who are they? Residents of the apartment? What's the difference?
In the final analysis, they are nothing more than a group of ordinary people, even Director Ma, an old fritter who has worked in government agencies for decades, can only stare dryly in a foreign country. His relationship is not hard enough to have a bunch of various friends even in Japan.
In two days, even if they went to visit the homes of the relevant people who knew about Keizo Ito's information, they would not be able to collect too many useful things. After all, intelligence gathering is usually played on a country-by-country basis, and it is extremely difficult to establish a complete and huge intelligence agency.
With the strength of the five of them alone, there is simply no way to do more.
Dong Xie also looked at the piece of paper over and over again, but unfortunately, these things are really of little value, and until now he has not even seen the manga drawn by Keizo Ito...... It can be seen that this Keisan Ito is really not very good, and he is not the same as the horror comic master with the same surname in Dong Xie's memory.
"If only I could find Keizo Ito's family, maybe I'll know something." Dong Xie also said regretfully.
"We've been to Ayako's house many times, but I don't know if it's because of the erosion of the manga world, or for some other reason, but Ayako's parents seem to have really disappeared. We can't leave Goto Town now, and we can only leave everything to fate......"
Wang Qiu also sighed, although Saito Hideki analyzed that they might find a way out during this time, but at present, this possibility is really small, if they can't find a way out, it will be the same as not existing.
Just when everyone was gathered in the room, repeatedly analyzing the pitiful amount of information available, eager to take every word apart and ponder carefully, suddenly, a loud bang sounded above everyone's heads......
