Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming couldn't help but purse his lips.

I don't know if this guy is genuinely stupid or just pretending.

Anyone with a brain knows that if you hand over your life-saving possessions, you'll become nothing more than meat on his chopping block.

Whether he slices it, shreds it, or minces it depends on his mood.

"You don't want to give it to me? Then I'll just come and get it myself."

As Taisho spoke, he prepared to take action.

"and many more."

Xu Ming quickly stopped him.

"What? Changing your mind and want to beg for mercy?"

Taisho said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"..."

Xu Ming completely ignored his arrogant and childish remarks and asked his own question.

"You haven't even dealt with the 'strangeness' in the mansion, and you're already starting to fight amongst yourselves? Are you really that confident?"

Taisho sneered.

"I'm not afraid to tell you. The 'strangeness' in this mansion is completely irrelevant."

As he spoke, he lifted the body of the old man Nakagawa with his foot.

"Do you know why this old guy got here without any trouble?"

It was because the 'British Candle' he possessed could suppress the 'Shakespeare's Soul Box'.

As Taisho spoke, a hint of smugness flashed across his face, and he waved the candlestick in his hand.

"But now it belongs to me, to Taisho Gongping."

Chapter 179 Shakespeare's Soul Box

"It's just a music box that's supposed to kill people, yet they gave it such an outrageous name."

Xu Ming chuckled, his face full of disdain.

The treasure he had painstakingly acquired was treated like trash, and even the shrewd and calculating Taisho Gongping couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance on his face.

The more deeply a person hides, the more they want to be seen when they succeed.

Even though Taisho Gongping knew this was just Xu Ming's strategy to provoke him, he couldn't help but rebuke him:

"Fool! What do you know?! Ordinary people don't know the correct way to use the 'Soul Box,' so of course they only deserve to become sacrifices to the 'Soul Box.'"

The 'Soul Box' can continuously absorb human souls and then transform them into soul essence.

Once you master the correct way to use the 'Shakespeare Soul Box,' you can obtain a massive amount of soul essence to replenish your soul's depletion and truly achieve immortality!

"I see... Let's do it!"

Having exhausted all the traps, Xu Ming immediately took action.

He quickly stepped aside.

A silver-white figure immediately rushed from behind him towards Taisho Gongping at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Ming and Haruyuki Arita came up with a temporary solution: to accelerate by flying at extremely low altitudes, thus enabling them to use the 'Silver Crow's' flight capabilities in confined spaces.

Unfortunately, this method has a major flaw; it's essentially a human RPG and can only be used once.

However, it works quite well for surprise attacks.

"Headbutt!"

'Silver Raven's' brain armor immediately thickened, and his entire body, like a silver battering ram, crashed straight into Taisho Gongping, whose expression had changed drastically.

Taisho Gongping quickly took out a handful of paper talismans and scattered them.

A dazzling array of multicolored light immediately flashed across his body.

Different colored light shields protected him completely.

Bah!

With a loud crash, the 'Silver Crow' slammed into the light barrier created by Taisho Gongping.

Crackling sounds!

A crisp sound, like glass shattering, was heard.

In an instant, the light shield was covered with countless spiderweb-like cracks inside and out, and then, under the immense pressure, it began to shatter layer by layer.

Finally, when only a thin layer of gold remained on the light shield, the 'Silver Raven' came to a complete stop.

While the 'Silver Raven' launched its surprise attack, the others were not idle either.

Erina stepped out from behind the door and unleashed a dozen fireballs at Taisho Kohei.

Taisho Gongping quickly summoned several shikigami to stand in front of him and act as meat shields.

Xu Ming picked up his phone and took a picture of the shikigami he had summoned.

Click!

After the lightning and thunder, the shikigami that had been acting as meat shields were wiped out.

Erina's fireball immediately slammed into it.

blah blah blah!

Sparks flew everywhere, and the protective shield in front of the Great Zheng Gong plane was instantly swept away.

At this moment, Mako, who had been relatively unknown until now, also made her move.

An invisible wave suddenly surged through the air, crashing down hard on Taisho Gongping.

His face changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.

"Yamamura Mako! You want to go against me too!? I am..."

Miss Mako's expression remained unchanged, and she showed no mercy whatsoever.

Suddenly, another shield with a red ghost face appeared in front of Taisho Gongping.

An invisible wave crashed down on it, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate for a while. Finally, the Ghost Mask Shield couldn't hold on any longer and shattered with a crack!

At the same time, a crisp sound came from Taisho Gongping's body, and a fragment of a magatama fell to the ground.

Before he could even feel sorry for himself, he was violently thrown away.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Mask Shield reduced most of the force, so the blow only made him cough up blood, not kill him outright.

"Damn it! You all want to rebel against me?!"

Taisho Gongping knelt on the ground and shouted.

Xu Ming wondered if the blow had directly smashed the guy's head.

If you're going to kill someone to silence them, are you going to forbid others from retaliating?

You've been reading too many novels featuring characters who are overpowered by their protagonists.

As Xu Ming thought about it, he raised the crowbar in his hand without any hesitation.

Suddenly, Taisho Gongping raised the strange candlestick, and with a mouthful of blood in his mouth, spat it directly onto it.

call!

Taisho Gongping's blood was like gasoline, and the green flame on the candlestick instantly surged.

Inside the room, the 'Shadow,' which had been docilely observing, seemed to have been inexplicably provoked and suddenly went berserk.

An eerie whisper instantly filled everyone's ears, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the entire apartment building suddenly felt like an icebox.

"Go! Kill them!"

Taisho Gongping grinned maliciously and pointed the candlestick at Xu Ming and the others.

The surrounding black mist surged and rushed towards Xu Ming and the others.

Xu Ming quickly gathered everyone to begin fending off the oncoming black mist.

On the other side, Taisho Gongping did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. He slowly stood up, went directly to the mirror, and waved the candlestick in front of it.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The darkness in the mirror was instantly dispelled, and the music box placed inside the mirror immediately appeared.

Taisho Gongping's face immediately lit up with joy, and he reached out his hand towards the mirror, seemingly wanting to grab the music box inside.

"Stop him!"

Xu Ming shouted immediately.

I don't know what this guy is up to.

But disrupting the enemy's operations is the right thing to do.

Shirogane Miyuki, who had been hiding in a corner watching the "battle of the gods," gritted his teeth and immediately took action, grabbing his Japanese sword and rushing towards Taisho Gongping.

"what!"

He raised his Japanese sword and slashed at Taisho Kōhei's arm.

Xu Ming shook his head when he saw his actions.

Shirogane Miyuki was completely unaccustomed to life-or-death battles; at this moment, there was absolutely no room for holding back.

Holding back is the privilege of the strong.

The weak are lucky to even survive.

As expected, Taisho Gongping was clearly a master of swordsmanship. He easily dodged Shirogane Miyuki's slash and then kicked Shirogane Miyuki in the side, sending him flying. Only then did he reach out to the music box again with a disdainful look on his face.

Whoosh!

When his hand touched the mirror, the surface immediately rippled like water.

Taisho Gongping's hand actually reached into the mirror.
