Chapter 243: Black Vortex
Kirie and Shuichi planned to go home together.
But on the way, Shuichi continued to tell her his fears.
"I hate that gloomy sea."
"It's not so gloomy seen from Green Mountain Town next door."
"That black lighthouse is strange too!"
"And those mountains and streets in the back are getting on my nerves..."
"Yes... it should be spinning, spinning..."
"Vortex... Vortex! This town has started to be contaminated by the vortex."
The strange and gloomy landscape of the Black Vortex Town in the manga is vividly depicted on paper.
The gloomy style of the painting, as well as the various vortex-shaped clouds and mountains, gave Yuka goosebumps.
But in the end, Shuichi and Kirie separated and went home separately.
However, the next day, Shuichi's father personally went to find Kirie's father and asked him to make "vortex" pottery.
In the end, Shuichi's father seemed strangely excited.
"I think whirlpools are very mysterious things, no... I should say they must hide an incredible power!"
The manga shows Shuichi's father's red and strange eyes.
He continued to tell Kirie's father with a chilling and fanatical expression, "You undoubtedly understand! Whirlpools are precious! They are the supreme art!"
"And you are the artist who gave birth to the supreme art!"
This strange and obsessed expression scared the Kirie family a little.
The next day, Kirie and Shuichi started talking about the matter.
Shuichi commented that his father had recently loved collecting objects related to whirlpools, and that he had even reached a very strange point.
Not only did he not go to work and lock himself in his room, but for both bathing and eating, he had to draw water for the bathtub in the shape of a whirlpool, or stir the soup to have the shape of a whirlpool, and the rice for meat rolls had to have the shape of a whirlpool.
The most important thing is...
"The strange thing is that... his eyes were constantly spinning, and they were very flexible," said Shuichi.
"Huh?" asked Kirie with curiosity. "Eyes?".
"Yes, it seems the vortex is affecting him."
"Maybe he did it on purpose to make you laugh," said Kirie with a smile.
"That's not something that can be done lightly!" said Shuichi with sweat on his face. "His left and right eyes spin in different directions!"
"The left and right eyes spin separately?" Kirie asked, confused.
But she soon saw with her own eyes the strange way Shuichi described his father's eyes spinning in different directions.
On their way home, Kirie and Shuichi also discovered many more vortices in the town.
Above all, there were many whirlpools and water vortexes in the stream.
But at that moment, they heard the sound of a fight coming from Shuichi's house.
Kirie followed Shuichi and ran straight home. She saw that his father was furious and wanted to attack his mother.
"Dad! Stop!"
Shuichi stepped forward to stop his father's violent punch and then asked, "What happened?"
"In fact, he took advantage of my absence..." exclaimed Shuichi's father, furious. "He threw away all my important collections!"
This was enough to anger people.
Yuka was deeply moved. It was as if one day she had a boyfriend who threw away all the figures and manga in her house without her knowing...
Of course, she was very angry. What boyfriend?
It was her defendant! However, the next scene showed her that Shuichi's mother had done the right thing.
Because Shuichi's father then said, "Without those things, the vortex still exists!"
"I recently discovered that I can create the vortex myself!"
"Remember this, guys! The vortex can be expressed with your own body!"
Then, under Kirie's gaze, he took off his glasses so that she, Shuichi, and his mother could see his eyes clearly.
The two bloodshot eyes began to spin in opposite directions! At first, the speed was still very slow, but over time the rotation speed accelerated.
The pupils were spinning so fast they became two vortices!
Two vortices spinning in opposite directions! That is definitely not something a human can do! After his eyes spun wildly into two vortices, Shuichi's father laughed with great excitement, "Hahahahahaha!"
Not to mention the protagonist Kirie at that moment.
Yuka was startled. She didn't know where the wind that swept through the room came from. She immediately got goosebumps.
"Wow... this... is evil!"
She took a deep breath and said, "Is it a curse? Obsessing people with vortices?"
This scenario is novel... Compared to the traditional ghostly scenario, it seems much more terrifying to her.
In the manga, the scene changed.
"After a few days, Shuichi stopped talking about his father."
But at that moment, Kirie's father asked her to deliver the vortex plate he had customized.
Kirie also discovered that Shuichi's father was not a normal person at that moment, but although she was a little scared, she still took the plate and delivered it.
Upon returning to the door of Shuichi's house, Kirie saw his father, whom she hadn't seen in days.
But now he was hunched over, with a strange vortex pattern on his clothes.
"Kirie, it's you, Shuichi's not home," he said to Kirie with a strange smile.
"I delivered what you asked for."
Kirie just wanted to deliver it quickly and get out of there.
"Did I ask for it?" he asked.
"It's a vortex-shaped plate."
Shuichi's father suddenly realized, but said unexpectedly, "Ah... I'm very sorry, I don't need it now."
"Huh? But..."
Kirie was about to say something, but Shuichi's father smiled and said, "Kirie, I already told you I don't need that kind of thing anymore...".
"You can make a vortex by yourself, you see? Now I can..."
Then I saw Shuichi's father sticking out his tongue, which was definitely not as long as a normal person's.
It was covered in saliva, and his flesh-colored tongue was full of disgusting and strange sensations.
But this was not the strangest thing. Shuichi's father really manipulated his tongue to form a vortex!
At the same time, he also made a moaning sound, "Woo-woo-gu-gu-!"
An inexplicable fear invaded Yuka, who saw this scene. She felt a chill run down her spine.
Then, her heart seemed to be gripped by someone, and then it beat violently after being released. "Ah!"
In the image, Kirie was so scared that she dropped what she was holding and fled from Shuichi's house.
At that moment, a delivery man gave Shuichi's father a... wooden barrel?!
However, this time, Shuichi's father said excitedly, "Ah, thank you... I've been waiting a long time."
But the next plot is...
Shuichi's father died a few days later.
After the funeral, Shuichi told Kirie, "Kirie... do you want to know why my father died?".
"Huh?" asked Kirie with curiosity. "Didn't he fall down the stairs?".
"Lies!"
Shuichi turned and said excitedly, "It's not like that!"
Kirie was silent. In fact, she should have guessed that Shuichi's father's death was not so simple.
After all, she saw the strangeness of Shuichi's father with her own eyes.
Then Shuichi began to explain the reason, "My father's physical and mental state has become extremely abnormal lately. We don't know what to do...".
"One day, my mother and I secretly went to Midoriya Hospital to consult a doctor."
"We were preparing to hospitalize him that day, and we came home very late, but we couldn't find my father."
"We searched every room...".
"Only...".
"Only in his study, we saw an unusually large covered wooden barrel."
Little by little, the memories came to his mind, and Shuichi and his mother looked at the wooden barrel in front of them, unable to help but feel curious, "What is this wood...?".
Then, Shuichi's mother reached out and took the initiative to open the lid of the barrel.
Then a strange and terrifying scene appeared on the screen!
I saw that Shuichi's father's entire body was twisted and lying in the barrel in a vortex shape, contrary to common sense!
This strange scene scared Yuka.
She felt every pore on her body stand on end, and at the same time, it was obviously hot, but she felt a chill run through her! "Fuck you!"
Yuka was so scared that she began to stammer and curse, "Is this so evil? Is it a kind of ghostly revenge?".
In the manga, Shuichi continued, "I don't know why my father is like this, I just know...".
"He got into the barrel by himself."
"To turn his body into a vortex... all his bones were broken and he died!".
This is not something a normal person can do!
Not to mention how Shuichi's father endured the intense pain and completed this process to the end.
Not even a normal person can compress their body into that, right? The fear in Yuka's heart did not make her lose her reason at all, but she thought of this conclusion.
And just when Shuichi and Kirie were worried...
"Hey! Look!"
"What's that?!".
The terrified voices of other villagers came from the side.
Kirie and Shuichi were confused.
"What the hell is that?"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Look at the sky!"
At that moment, everyone looked up.
From the chimney of the crematorium where Shuichi's father's body was burning, plumes of black smoke rose into the sky, forming a huge and strange black vortex.
"End of this chapter."
After Yuka finished reading it, her face was still covered in a cold sweat.
The fear was still beating in her heart, just like the black vortex at the end of the manga.
