Why is my anime art style so weird?

Rows of old wooden bookshelves are neatly arranged in the library, displaying all kinds of books, including many old and rare editions.

A large table and five or six chairs were placed by the window for people to sit down and read.

Between the bookshelves were several A-frame ladders, presumably for reaching books on higher shelves.

The library was quiet, with only the occasional breeze blowing in, making the pages rustle and giving the impression that someone was turning the pages behind the unseen bookshelves.

Xu Ming's gaze swept around the library, and the door at the far end leading to the observatory was almost immediately visible.

The ever-thickening blood mist seemed to indicate that he had not gone astray.

But why is there nothing in this library so close to the ceremony?

Not even a single guard was assigned, which is completely inconsistent with Azami Nakiri's cautious style.

A vague sense of danger seemed to be reminding him that this library was not as simple as it appeared.

Holding his phone and a crowbar, Xu Ming cautiously approached the gate leading to the observatory.

Splash! Splash!

The sound of the papers turning seemed to grow louder and louder.

Some books scattered on the ground moved on their own without any wind, their pages rustling and casting afterimages.

Xu Ming remained vigilant and soon reached the middle of the library, only halfway to the observatory entrance.

call!

Just then, a whooshing sound came, and Xu Ming subconsciously crouched down.

A dark shadow flew past his head.

Xu Ming looked at the dark figure in surprise; it was moving too fast, and he hadn't even seen what it was yet.

To his utter surprise, the dark figure turned a corner and flew back.

With the help of night vision, Xu Ming could see clearly this time.

What he almost clicked on was actually a book.

The book flew in front of Xu Ming and hovered in mid-air, as if it were showing off to him.

Even more bizarrely, the book cover features a grotesque, protruding human face!

Just as Xu Ming picked up his phone, intending to kindly send it on its way, noises came from all corners of the library at the same time—the sound of bookshelves shaking.

Xu Ming's face immediately turned pale.

'I can't be that unlucky...'

However, the ominous premonition soon came true.

Suddenly, a large number of books flew up from the bookshelf and gathered next to the human-faced book.

Every book cover features a raised human face.

The expressions on their faces—hatred, anger, sadness, or coldness—seemed to be a collection of all the negative emotions in the world.

The sheer number of Facebook pages—roughly several hundred—when laid out, formed a wall that blocked Xu Ming's path.

Hundreds of faces simultaneously revealed incredibly sinister smiles to Xu Ming.

The next second, all the human-shaped books flew towards Xu Ming!

Xu Ming quickly raised his phone, aimed it at the front, and pressed the shutter button.

Click!

The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire library.

Whoops!

Enveloped by the flashing light of the spirit-captured phone, numerous human-shaped face-shaped devices caught fire in mid-air and fell to the ground emitting thick smoke.

This scene even reminded Xu Ming of the aerial combat during World War II, where warplanes were constantly hit, spontaneously combusted, and crashed with black smoke.

However, dozens of Facebooks located at the back escaped unscathed.

The surviving human-faced books scattered like a flock of frightened birds, flitting about haphazardly in the library, refusing to come near Xu Ming.

Xu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the opportunity to run towards the observatory.

The human-faced book seemed to be completely terrified of him, flying in the direction Xu Ming was heading, but daring not to approach his surroundings.

Seeing that Xu Ming was about to reach the gate of the observatory, the human-faced book seemed to get anxious and, disregarding everything else, flew towards Xu Ming again.

Xu Ming sighed inwardly, and before the Human Face Book flew over, he did a forward roll to dodge the first wave of attacks.

At this point, he was less than 10 meters away from the entrance to the observatory.

The people who were initially somewhat timid became fierce upon discovering that Xu Ming hadn't used that terrifying weapon from before.

They kept circling and flying around Xu Ming, launching a surprise attack every now and then.

Xu Ming dodged left and right, occasionally swinging his crowbar to knock people's Facebook pages away.

Unfortunately, the crowbar, unable to form a combo, is just an ordinary crowbar, not a powerful 'physical holy sword'.

Being surrounded by dozens of flying birds, it was impossible to emerge unscathed.

Bang!

Unable to dodge in time, Xu Ming was hit in the back by a Facebook page.

"Well!"

Xu Ming couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

In that instant, he felt as if he had been punched hard in the back, and a sharp pain struck him so hard that he almost stopped breathing.

That force was comparable to a brick.

Those warriors who can withstand dictionary attacks truly deserve to be called 'real men'!

At this moment, Xu Ming was less than 4 meters away from the entrance of the observatory.

Facebook is going crazy.

They kept crashing into Xu Ming like moths to a flame.

The problem is, a moth drawn to a flame is courting death, but a collision with a Facebook page is taking his life!

...3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter!

Xu Ming staggered to the gate and slammed it hard against the door, which was carved with celestial patterns.

Bah!

He fell into a huge, empty hall.

Those who were chasing him stopped at the gate, which became an invisible dividing line.

A face-shaped book hovered outside the gate, its cover grinning at Xu Ming inside.

However, the face-shaped book seemed to have some concerns; despite the lack of any obstruction, it refused to fly into the gate.

Xu Ming got up from the ground and stretched his body, which was sore from the impact.

He couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and trouser legs, which were covered in bruises. Needless to say, his body was also covered in bruises.

Fortunately, he initially used his phone to wipe out 90% of Facebook users in one go.

If he were bombarded with hundreds of Facebook posts all at once, it would absolutely crush him to death.

Most people are really helpless against these small and fast Facebook pages. The person who designed this trap is truly malicious!

Chapter 131 The First Meeting with the Demon Father at the Observatory

"It turned out to be..."

Xu Ming stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the scene before him.

The observatory is circular in shape, with its top covered by a hemispherical dome. A rectangular opening in the dome allows a clear view of the night sky, and the inside is painted with a special material to match the color of the night sky.

A small astronomical telescope is mounted below the opening.

The walls around the observatory were knocked down and turned into a ring of shelves. Some shelves were filled with books, some with messy manuscripts, some with globes, solar system orbit models, rangefinders, projectors and other tools, and some were even converted into desks.

If you only look at these features, it's just the room of an ordinary, wealthy astronomy enthusiast.

However, right in the center of the observatory is something that would never normally be there—a transparent crystal coffin.

Through the coffin lid, a blonde girl dressed in a pure white dress can be clearly seen sleeping.

From the side, she possessed an exquisite face like a goddess sculpture and a perfectly sculpted figure that was irresistibly alluring.

With such clear recognizability, Xu Ming recognized her almost instantly.

Erina Nakiri, the female protagonist of Food Wars!, is the owner of the God Tongue, the ice queen of the kitchen, and also the first person to disappear from Totsuki Culinary Academy, the beginning of everything.

With her blonde hair, Erina lay like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale, her hands folded, peacefully asleep in a crystal coffin, waiting for her prince to awaken her.

What should have been a dreamlike and beautiful scene was instead marred by an evil magic circle engraved beneath the crystal coffin.

Even without activating 'Spiritual Vision', Xu Ming could sense the surging evil aura emanating from the magic circle.

The magic array's patterns are complex and mysterious, and can only be vaguely discerned as being divided into five equal parts, seemingly corresponding to the five elements.

After glancing at it briefly, Xu Ming felt a wave of dizziness and heard a strange whisper in his ear.

Even more bloody and evil, the patterns of the magic circle were filled with a viscous red liquid.

The faint, strong smell of blood in the air already indicated what the red liquid was.

The crimson moonlight shone in from above the observatory, forming a circular crimson spot that enveloped the entire crystal coffin.

Despite the absence of any cooling equipment, Xu Ming saw wisps of faint white mist continuously rising from the crystal coffin.

Directly opposite the main gate of the observatory, there is a banner (a Taoist ritual implement). The long banner is not only tattered but also splattered with black bloodstains. It has nothing to do with the righteousness and peace of Taoism. Instead, it exudes an evil aura that makes people's hair stand on end.

Even without having studied Yin-Yang techniques, Xu Ming could sense that this evil banner, while not the core of the formation, was still one of its important components.

Of all the observatory's structures, apart from the crystal coffin in the center, this tattered and tattered evil banner is the most suspicious.

Although the consequences of destroying this evil banner are unknown, it will certainly affect Azami Nakiri's plans.

We must do what the enemy does not want us to do.
