Why is my anime art style so weird?

This slight chill seeped into my bones.

It was nearly 1 a.m., and according to the system, the Soul Gathering Array on the top floor was about to reach its maximum power.

He needs to be more careful.

Xu Ming and Erina continued their ascent to the higher levels.

However, after only two floors, the stairs stopped, forcing the two to go up to the 16th floor.

This floor is even more spacious, with most of the partitions not yet completed. Only load-bearing columns stand there, resembling tombstones in the darkness.

Without the concrete walls separating them, the 16th floor should have been brighter, but Xu Ming found that it was actually darker than the floors below.

The rain outside seemed to turn into a black curtain, enveloping the entire building.

Hey!

Hey!

Ta-da!

Xu Ming's footsteps echoed through the empty floors.

Suddenly, he heard what sounded like footsteps behind him.

He quickly grabbed the crowbar and turned around to check.

There was nothing behind him.

Xu Ming activated his spiritual vision, still somewhat uneasy.

When he saw the situation on the 16th floor, he was immediately shocked.

Countless black threads filled the air, so many that they formed a black mist that lingered between the floors.

Forget about finding any traces of the 'strange' thing, Xu Ming could only see about 10 meters around him.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The visible range of a psychic vision is actually lower than that of the naked eye!?

The concentration of negative energy permeating the air has reached a terrifying level.

Xu Ming quickly shut down his spiritual vision, and his field of vision returned to normal.

The two continued walking forward.

Ta-da!

Soon, the footsteps were mixed in with Xu Ming's footsteps.

Xu Ming shone his phone behind him, but still found nothing.

Xu Ming then looked at Erina, who was half a step behind him.

"Erina, throw a few fireballs to light up the area."

Erina nodded gently and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her elegant violet hair had turned into a dazzling and gorgeous gold.

Erina, now back to her blonde hair, glared at Xu Ming with slight displeasure.

"You only think of me at times like this."

Xu Ming awkwardly touched his nose.

"Humph!"

Erina snorted and raised her hand; several large fireballs immediately appeared above her palm.

The dazzling flames instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.

When Xu Ming saw what was behind him, his hand gripping the crowbar tightened involuntarily, his fingertips turning white.

Just behind them, about seven or eight meters away, two bright, blood-red footprints were clearly imprinted on the cement ground. Xu Ming could even feel the stickiness of the blood from the footprints.

It looked as if someone had just stepped out from a pool of blood.

Xu Ming immediately pointed his phone at the direction of the bloody footprints.

But the person who left the bloody footprints seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Xu Ming instructed Erina to shoot fireballs in all directions, and sparks flew everywhere, with soft explosions echoing incessantly.

The surrounding area was completely illuminated by the firelight.

Unfortunately, apart from the strange bloody footprints, Xu Ming did not find any other eerie traces.

Left with no other choice, he could only continue forward with Erina.

A moment later, the footsteps reappeared, and this time they seemed even closer to the two of them.

But Xu Ming ignored it and kept walking forward with his head down, as if the voice didn't exist.

They soon found the stairs leading to the next floor.

As the two climbed the stairs, the bloody footprints had multiplied from one to three, and bloody handprints began to appear on the wall.

Countless bloody marks followed the two of them, as if countless blood-soaked wronged souls were following behind them.

Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.

These blood marks followed them all the way from the 16th to the 17th floor.

When Xu Ming stepped onto the 17th floor.

whee!

The eerie girl's soft laughter rang out again, followed by a white figure flashing past outside the emergency exit.

Chapter 234 The 18th Floor, Hell

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment before raising his phone, then slowly lowered it again.

The white figure's movements were unpredictable; the only way he could guarantee a one-hit kill was with 'Gathering Power Strike'.

We're about to reach the most dangerous top floor, so it's better to save 'Focused Strike' for dealing with even more dangerous enemies.

Behind him, the crimson marks continued to close in. Xu Ming had Erina try attacking these crimson marks with fire, frost, and lightning respectively, but to little avail.

After these blood-red marks were destroyed, they quickly reappeared from nowhere, clinging to their backs and never leaving them, even more persistent than die-hard fans.

Xu Ming had previously guessed that the Soul Gathering Array might have a similar 'strange' ability to resurrect, and now it seems that his guess has most likely come true.

The ten-minute charging time made Xu Ming hesitant to use his phone.

Good steel must be used where it is most needed.

After walking and stopping intermittently, Xu Ming and Erina finally reached the 18th step.

At first glance, the 18th floor doesn't seem much different from the other floors. It's bare, without any partitions, with only load-bearing pillars like tombstones standing tall in the darkness.

Xu Ming quickly noticed something was wrong.

The chill in the air intensified, transforming into countless tiny, living threads that desperately tried to burrow into his body through every pore.

The black, negative energy almost materialized, spreading throughout the air.

In this eerie environment, anyone with a slightly weaker constitution would fall seriously ill if they stayed here for too long.

"My lord, please be careful, it's very dangerous here."

Erina reminded her.

Actually, Xu Ming felt it the most deeply, even without her reminder.

Even the air here is constantly filled with malice towards the living.

These malicious thoughts lingered around him, as if they were constantly cursing him with extremely venomous voices.

"Go to hell! Go to hell now!! Why aren't you dead yet!"

Die! Die! Die! ...! !"

The two are currently at the entrance to the staircase of the left annex.

The 18th floor is the top floor, but the Soul Gathering Array is located on the rooftop above the 18th floor. To get there, they must reach the atrium of the main building.

There is only one road leading to the rooftop.

This means they must traverse the perilous 18th floor.

Xu Ming did not hesitate and stepped forward.

Just then, Haruyuki Arita's voice suddenly came through the telepathic communication.

"Xu Ming! Xu Ming! Someone has entered the Wutiao Building!"

Xu Ming was immediately startled.

"Who?"

"Wait, let me fly down and take a closer look."

Haruyuki Arita said something and then disconnected.

Xu Ming checked his phone. It was almost 1 a.m. Who would come to this eerie, unfinished building at this hour?

A homeless man? An exorcist? Or just an ordinary person who stumbled upon this place?

Xu Ming's mind raced.

Wait! Could it be...?

Suddenly, a beautiful figure, dashing and sharp as a knife, flashed into my mind.

Time passed second by second, and soon Haruyuki Arita's voice rang out again.

"She was wearing a raincoat, but I recognized her clearly, it's Ryougi Shiki! Lady Ryougi has arrived!"

really!

Xu Ming thought to himself.

This world is not simply the Type-Moon world; everything has changed drastically.

But some things are destined.
