Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

Chapter 170 Taking a Photo of Tomie, Whirlpool Insects

At first glance, life in Black Vortex Town seems no different from before.

But ultimately, many changes have occurred.

Whirlpools, which can be seen everywhere, are gradually taking over people's lives.

Many people have become avid fans of swirls, wearing clothes covered in swirls and graffitiing everywhere, naturally creating swirls in their own designs.

Initially, the swirling flowers and plants attracted newspapers to report on it, leading many people to choose it as a tourist destination. Later, those who were drawn to the swirling flowers attracted people around them to visit the wonder.

As a result, the population of Black Vortex Town increased by at least a quarter.

Many people choose to settle here, and some even plan to retire here.

After listening to Tomie Uzumaki's description, Jiuzhi Che gained a deeper understanding of the dangers vortexes pose.

It's like a contagious disease.

People who are attracted to whirlpools will attract the curiosity of those around them, who will then go and see the whirlpool for themselves.

If one message is transmitted to ten, then those ten messages can be transmitted to one hundred, resulting in an exponential, explosive growth.

"I came to this town by no means at first. There weren't so many people back then. Later, after I gained the power of the vortex, I wanted to become even stronger before leaving."

Tomie leaned down slightly, her fingers gliding through the water. "The Dragonfly Pond didn't turn out as well as it did at the beginning. A-Che, do you think the whirlpool is lying in wait, waiting for everyone to let their guard down?"

Jiuzhiche gazed at the Dragonfly Pond, its surface shimmering and clear, looking both clean and soothing. Who would have thought that it held the whirlpool's greatest secret?

It's also a secret so dangerous that one wrong move could result in being shattered to pieces.

Whether the vortex has a main consciousness is still unknown.

Jiuzhi Che stretched out a finger and dipped it into the water in the dragonfly pond. "Tomie, did you see anything strange in the dragonfly pond, like rocks or any kind of creature?"

Back then, Tetsuro Mukoda fell into the pond, swallowed something unknown, and was afflicted with the Long Dream Curse, which he then spread to the entire class.

Tomie pointed her finger at Kyushichi, taking the opportunity to dry herself off. "No, it's incredibly clean inside, there's not even a speck of trash."

In a normal pool, it's impossible not to have all sorts of things thrown in.

"There was a strange attraction to it, but I resisted it, and then I gained new abilities."

Jiuzhiche observed that the ominous aura in the Dragonfly Pond was weaker than that of a blade of grass nearby.

As for the water... nothing special.

But when he put his hand into the pool, his mental energy fluctuated, as if it wanted to rush out from his fingers and into the pool.

However, he easily suppressed the fluctuations.

The vortex, as expected, loves to "eat" mental energy.

Jiuzhiche took out the Soul-Trapping Orb.

One of the characteristics of the Spirit Trapping Orb is that once you've captured a certain monster or ghost, you can release it at will, but you can't use it to capture other monsters; you can only capture the one you've captured before.

The planarian was thrown into the pool.

It didn't even make a ripple.

However, in the small patch of water where it fell in, a small whirlpool had already formed, and the whirlpool worm's body began to twist clockwise, as if it were being twisted by an external force.

Tomie showed little interest in him, instead playing with Kyuichi Che's fingers.

Jiuzhiche watched coldly.

He only used the Soul-Trapping Orb to retrieve it when the vortex worm was about to be twisted off its body.

A small experiment.

The vortex seems to have a "recycling" connotation towards the products of the vortex curse.

"Take me to see other places."

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual at Dragonfly Pond right now, but we might as well look around at other places; there might be something strange there.

Tomie brought Kujiro to the clothing store. "The clothes here aren't very good. Recently, they've added a lot of clothes with swirling patterns. Their aesthetic sense has regressed by at least a hundred years."

"Then why did you come?"

"Since we have a porter, we might as well use him."

Tomie confidently ordered Kyushige to take charge.

Jiuzhi Che didn't mind carrying some things; even if Fu Jiang bought a thousand catties of clothes, it wasn't like he couldn't carry them.

"Click—"

The camera flash went off in a flash, and Tomie squinted, instinctively raising her hand to block it.

Her face darkened completely, and her eyes instantly shifted from a lazy and casual look to a cold and violent one.

"Snapped!"

Tomie strode forward and slapped the camera out of the woman's hand. The camera crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Jiuzhiche took two steps and stepped on the camera on the ground, which shattered into pieces.

The woman taking the photos was stunned. "You...you...you! This is my camera! What right do you have to smash my things!"

Jiuzhi Che put his arm around Fu Jiang's waist. He had to; if he let go, Fu Jiang would twist that woman into a pretzel.

"You take other people's photos without asking for their permission. What, am I supposed to thank you for that?"

A tall, handsome man, 185cm tall, glanced down at her, making her feel instantly pressured. The woman shifted her gaze guiltily. "But I was taking pictures of the scenery, not your girlfriend."

Tomie scoffed, "I don't care if it's true or not, you deserve to die for taking out a camera in front of me."

Domineering, absolutely domineering.

The woman was dumbfounded: "No, how can you do this? This place isn't just yours."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiuzhi Che had already thrown out 100,000 yen in cash, saying, "Consider it compensation for you."

From both a moral and legal standpoint, the woman was in the wrong, but he did intentionally damage someone else's property, so giving him some money would have been enough to settle the matter.

But if the other party is oblivious and continues to pester you, then you'll probably have to learn a lesson.

He will withdraw his hand from Tomie's waist.

"Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do anything..."

The woman muttered to herself, then took the money.

Her camera was a cheap secondhand item, so exchanging it for a new one would be an incredibly good deal.

The good-looking but ruthless couple left, and the woman squatted down to take out the memory card, but her body froze.

"What happened during your postpartum period?"

A man squeezed in, and seeing his friend's condition, immediately asked with concern.

Izumizuki Tsukiko murmured absentmindedly, "How could a human be so strong..."

"What?"

The man instinctively looked down at the ground, where it saw countless fragments. He asked uncertainly, "Was that a camera?"

"Yes, the memory card is completely broken too. I have photos stored on it for years!!!"

Izumizuki Tsukiko couldn't hold back her tears. "Yamazaki, why am I so unlucky?"

I just thought the girl was incredibly beautiful, so I decided to take a picture of her to post in the school magazine to attract attention and maybe even use it for a competition. I never expected this to happen.

I should have checked the flash first!

--------

Jiuzhi Che held Tomie's hand.

He could still sense Tomie's anger, and a very faint trace of fear.

Indeed, in the original work, Tomie hated having her picture taken because the camera could capture her ugly side.

Every photograph of Tomie shows a grotesque face covered in bloody bulges near her head—a portrait of Tomie's evil.

According to the original work, Tomie possesses the most beautiful and ultimate beauty, but at the same time has an ugly and sinful heart.

In Jiuzhiche's view, it was foolish to talk about morality and humanity with a non-human, cursed, and strange creature.

However, this doesn't stop Jiuzhi Che from treating Tomie as his girlfriend.

Evil is always relative.

Everything is based on one's own will.
