Chapter 80: As Long as You Surrender to Vortex-Kunn
Lately, more and more people in Black Vortex Town are trying to get attention. Some even risk their lives by performing acrobatics on the school roof to attract everyone's gaze, but end up falling to their death.
This is all because of vortex pollution. People possessed by the vortex instinctively attract others' attention.
"I should have noticed it earlier!" Walking on the street, Saito Shuichi regretted, "When Itsutsu's hair suddenly grew longer, I should have known she was possessed by the vortex!"
"It's not too late now," Uesugi Kiyoshi comforted.
When he and Shuichi Saito arrived at Black Vortex Station, a large crowd had already gathered there.
Amidst the bustling crowd, it seemed like two clusters of black cherry blossoms were blooming. Everyone passing by stopped, lifted their heads, and marveled at the brilliance of the cherry blossoms.
Upon approaching, they realized that it wasn't cherry blossoms but long, split hair.
On the left is Itsutsu Kishima, she has her eyes closed, sweating on her face. Her long blue hair, usually hanging straight down to her waist, now defiantly raised above her head, splitting into countless branches in the air, each branch curling into a vortex-shaped pattern at the end.
On the right is another girl, Uesugi Kiyoshi also has some impression of, named Sekino Tamaka. She is Itsutsu Kishima's classmate. Originally a normal high school girl, she now also has a cool hairstyle.
The two of them are standing on opposite sides of the station square, their long hair flowing as they gaze at each other, the atmosphere unusually tense.
Even without looking up, just observing through the mirror, Uesugi Kiyoshi could still feel the attraction coming from the vortex.
"Two students, your hair is really too fancy, it's not good, quickly restore it to its original state!"
A teacher from Black Vortex High School passed by and couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to reprimand them. However, Itsutsu Kishima only separated a strand of her long hair, letting the vortex at the tip of her hair sway in front of his eyes, instantly bewildering his mind.
Saito Shuichi, on the other hand, seemed to be immune to this attraction. He stared at the much thinner Itsutsu Kishima, gritted his teeth, and said. It's the curse of the vortex, it seems like the hair will drain the body's vitality... If this continues, Itsutsu will be in danger!
He reached into his pocket, took out a pair of scissors, ready to rush forward at any moment.
At this moment, Sekino Tamaka spoke up.
"Wudao, you are truly extraordinary!" she said coldly, her eyes shining briefly, "But my hair has also become attention-grabbing, I will not lose to you!"
"Guanye..."
Itsutsu Kishima seemed exhausted, heaved a long sigh, stopped talking, but his hair stubbornly rose to a higher height.
The arms race began.
If you grow an inch, I will grow a foot.
The two hair strands kept growing taller, creating a larger vortex that even covered the station sign hanging on the second floor.
Meanwhile, the two people under the hair looked more and more tired, just as Shuichi had predicted.
"Huff...huff..." Sekino Tamaka gasped, unable to resist shouting, "Wudao! Admit defeat now! Only one of us needs to stand out!"
Itsutsu Kishima remained silent, keeping her eyes closed, perhaps too exhausted even to open them, sweat dripping down her forehead like rain.
"Huff~~huff~~Enough! I am impatient now!"
Along with Sekino Tamaka's roar, a long vertical hair shot out from the top of her head, tightly coiling around Itsutsu Kishima's neck.
Itsutsu Kishima's hair also fought back naturally.
"Swish! Swish!"
In an instant, the square was full of hair shadows, the long hair of both sides was as fast as lightning, back and forth, exchanging dozens of rounds in an instant, unable to determine the victory or defeat!
However, Itsutsu Kishima's face was getting redder and redder. If this continues, she will soon suffocate to death!
"Itsutsu!"
Saito Shuichi could no longer hold back, he rushed out of the crowd, scissors in hand swiftly cutting off the long hair coiled around Itsutsu Kishima's neck.
"Wait, I'll help you cut it off right away!"
He grabbed his girlfriend's hair again, but this time his scissors were knocked out of his hand by her hair whipping back, sending him flying and struggling to get up for a while.
Uesugi Kiyoshi was shocked and scared.
With Saito Shuichi leading the way, he came over this time with a calm mindset, thinking of it as a chance to broaden his horizons. But to his surprise, the formidable expert who could handle the problem on his own in the original plot, couldn't do it with his help.
As the battle intensified, the two of them looked more and more worn out. Uesugi Kiyoshi knew that he had to step in.
With his hands in his pockets and head down, Uesugi Kiyoshi walked out of the crowd slowly.
At that moment, the intense fighting suddenly stopped as they felt a terrifying aura spreading through the air.
It came unexpectedly, invisible, yet it felt like a formidable foe lurking beside them, ready to strike.
Faced with such a threat, the hatred between the two sides disappeared instantly. Countless strands of hair rushed towards Uesugi Kiyoshi, wrapping around his neck and waist, only to break apart in an instant.
"The universe and sky are my sword, all things under heaven are my sword, gods, demons, and spirits are just swords to me."
While reciting quietly, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw a dark cloud forming above his head, which turned into countless black swords soaring towards the sky, aiming straight at everyone present.
"Beware, the calamity of a thousand swords!"
The chilling sensation of danger made the women shudder; their intertwined long hair tried to block the attacking hair-swords, but the swords were unbreakable and swiftly approached the roots of their hair.
"Oh no, my hair!"
Despite Sekino Tamaka's furious roar, at the moment of life-threatening danger, the two women's long hair trembled in fear, wishing they could retract back into their scalps.
It was a devastating blow, but not unexpected.
Observing from the side, Uesugi Kiyoshi noticed that the whirlpool of long hair was not weak in terms of strength alone, but its fighting tactics were too simple, either smacking or coiling.
Compared to their bizarre long hair, it was like Bruce Lee fighting Mike Tyson when suddenly a special forces soldier armed with an AK47 appeared - not even one could match up, let alone ten.
"Itsutsu!"
Saito Shuichi struggled to stand up and helped Itsutsu Kishima up. He saw that she was safe and could even manage a smile, which put his mind at ease.
He pointed at the sword floating in the air and asked, "What is this?"
"It's a mystery to me too."
Saito Shuichi nodded in confusion and asked, "What about what you just said..."
"Please pretend you didn't hear it!"
Seeing her blush and unwilling to explain further, Saito Shuichi didn't press for more information. He was about to cut his girlfriend's long hair with scissors again when Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped him.
"Hold on, let me ask them if they are willing to surrender first."
