Why is my anime art style so weird?

The door was wide open, and Ryougi Shiki, who had been lying on the bed, was gone!

A large hole was smashed in a glass window, and a cold wind howled into the ward, causing the curtains to flutter wildly.

Xu Ming rushed to the window and looked outside.

He soon saw that Ryougi Shiki was confronting a strange figure on the lawn downstairs.

The eerie figure was wearing a green surgical gown, and a shiny plastic tag was tied to its right wrist with a rubber band. If Xu Ming remembered correctly, it was a marker used by the hospital to identify corpses.

The skin exposed outside the surgical gown was a disgusting, deathly gray, covered with dry, wrinkled skin.

He lay on the ground, on all fours, and kept letting out strange roars at Ryougi Shiki not far away.

Saliva dripped from between his teeth onto the ground, making him look like a ferocious, hungry beast.

Ryougi Shiki stood quietly opposite him.

Without her making any move, the wind simply swept away the gauze from her face, revealing a cold, resolute, and heroic countenance. Like an ancient swordsman engaged in duel, her calm and composed expression concealed a sharp killing intent.

Seemingly intimidated by this murderous intent, the strange man, who resembled a wild beast, swayed left and right around Ryougi Shiki, but dared not step forward.

"Spring snow, take me flying down."

Xu Ming called out immediately.

"no problem!"

Haruyuki Arita immediately sprouted a pair of transparent wings from his back, and then carried Xu Ming directly from the window to the first floor, arriving next to Ryougi Shiki.

Ryougi Shiki glanced at them indifferently.

"Hey, do you have a dagger? A short knife will do too."

Xu Ming, not understanding why, casually replied.

Yes. What do you want to do?

“I’m going to kill him…and his hair is too long, it’s in the way.”

Ryougi Shiki replied coldly.

Xu Ming was taking a dagger out of his backpack when he suddenly stopped.

Ryougi Shiki looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I don't want to lend it to you anymore."

Xu Ming withdrew his hand.

Ryougi Shiki frowned.

Xu Ming faced her death stare with complete composure.

"You look better with long hair, it's a shame to cut it."

"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you."

Ryougi Shiki seemed unmoved by Xu Ming's praise, her tone remaining cold.

Xu Ming spread his hands.

I think it's related.

"I promised Orange I'd protect you. If I force you to cut your hair, then I'd be a terrible bodyguard."

"Tsk! Mind your own business."

Ryougi Shiki began to show some impatience.

At this moment, the strange man opposite, perhaps feeling ignored, roared and charged towards the two with a powerful push of his limbs.

A sharp, cold glint suddenly flashed in Ryougi Shiki's eyes.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes instantly shone with a brilliance more magnificent than any jewel.

She casually picked up a piece of broken glass from the lawn and assumed a dagger-wielding stance.

Xu Ming looked at her with a strange expression.

"You wouldn't be thinking of taking this thing..."

Ryougi Shiki gave a cold laugh.

"I'll kill anything that's alive, even if it's a god!"

As she spoke, she bent down slightly, assuming a stance ready to start running.

However, before she could unleash her killing spree...

Click!

A dazzling purple-gold light burst forth from beside her.

In an instant, it was as if a purple-gold sun had risen from the ground.

The strange man didn't even have time to scream before he was instantly vaporized.

Once the light faded, Xu Ming slowly put down his phone and turned his head with an 'innocent' expression.

What did you just say?

Ryougi Shiki stumbled and almost fell to the ground, landing face-first in the mud.

She felt as if she had concentrated all her strength to throw a punch, only to land on cotton.

I feel so nauseous I feel like I'm going to vomit blood!

Swish!

She forcefully shoved the shard of glass into the grass.

Of course, what she really wanted was to shove the glass shard down Xu Ming's throat.

Her face was as black as charcoal. She turned and left, completely ignoring Xu Ming.

Watching Ryougi Shiki's departing figure.

Xu Ming could only apologize in his heart.

It's not that he maliciously stole monsters; it's just that the scoring system's criteria are disgusting.

If the system deems him to have played no role in the event and was merely trying to curry favor, the reward will be shockingly low.

Although he feels apologetic, he would probably make the same choice if faced with a similar situation.

So, it's all the fault of this damn system!

In any case, the crisis has been resolved.

Back in the ward, Xu Ming felt that the aura emanating from Ryougi Shiki was even lower, and that just getting close to her felt like the air around him was frozen.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and placed the documents he had found in the doctor's office next to her.

"what is this?"

Ryougi Shiki asked coldly.

"There are doctors at your hospital who falsify medical records."

Xu Ming shrugged and sat back down on the sofa.

Ryougi Shiki picked up the medical records and examined them carefully.

If you put the real and fake medical records side by side, even a layman can spot the difference at a glance.

Ryougi Shiki frowned immediately after watching for a short while.

She looked up and found Xu Ming observing her with great interest.

Ryougi Shiki's expression instantly turned even more unpleasant...

Chapter 220 Conspiracy in the Dark

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Ryougi Shiki made a phone call.

At that moment, a commotion broke out in the hospital, apparently because the bodies of Dr. Tanaka and Nurse Miwako had been discovered.

Several police cars quickly drove into the hospital.

The medical staff became anxious and the entire hospital was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Fortunately, they were highly professional and their actions did not affect the VIP ward.

Not long after, a man in a suit, with a square face, a buzz cut, and a particularly capable look, arrived at the ward.

Ryougi Shiki pulled him outside, and they talked for about half an hour.

When Ryougi Shiki returned, her expression softened considerably.

Xu Ming didn't pay much attention to it. He handed the medical record to the other party to see how they would handle it.

After all, business partners and comrades-in-arms who can be relied upon are completely different ways of getting along.

Outside the ward, a body was discovered, and the police arrived to collect evidence and investigate, causing a commotion.

Inside the ward, the two quietly went about their own business.

The door to the ward seemed to separate two worlds.

Perhaps Xu Ming cleaned too thoroughly on the first night, because nothing happened on the second night.

On the third day at noon, Cangqi Chengzi, dressed as a white-collar professional, dragged her suitcase and returned to the ward, looking travel-worn.

"Hi~ I'm back, you two! Did you miss me~?"

Aozaki Touko waved her hand with a big smile on her face.

"Humph!"

Ryougi Shiki gave her a cold glare, then turned to look out the window again.

Xu Ming put away his phone and greeted them.

“Miss Aozaki, now that you’re back, I think I can go home now.”

"You two seem to get along very well~ Why don't you stay a few more days?"
