Why is my anime art style so weird?

Shiori Hagamiya walked back to the door, locked the bathroom door from the inside, and turned on the light switch.

The overhead light went out instantly, plunging the entire bathroom into darkness, with only the flickering candlelight providing a faint glow.

The light, however, did not illuminate the bathroom. Instead, due to its angle and height, it created more crooked shadows. In addition, the flickering candlelight caused the shadows to sway as well.

The washroom was like a chaotic scene of demons dancing and ghosts roaming at night.

The inexplicable sound of dripping water seemed to gradually grow louder.

Fear, like an invisible claw, suddenly gripped Shiori Hagiya's frail body.

She began to tremble slightly as she cautiously looked around.

From those swaying shadows, it seemed as if something might jump out at any moment.

After a while, when nothing unusual happened, Shiori Hagamiya gradually calmed down.

She began to follow the steps she had heard from Chiharu Matsugata, turning off the sink drain and then turning on the tap.

Whoosh!

A torrent of water gushed out of the faucet, crashing against the bottom of the sink and splashing everywhere.

The bottom was quickly filled, the splashes gradually decreased, and the water flowed down, creating a large amount of white foam on the surface.

In no time, the pool was filled.

Shiori Hagamiya turned off the tap, picked up a folding fruit knife, and pulled out the blade.

Looking at the gleaming blade, a hint of fear flashed in Shiori Hagami's eyes.

She was, after all, just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and a pampered young lady at that.

However, her eyes quickly hardened, and she brought the blade to her fingertips and made a sharp cut.

Shiori Hagami immediately felt a sharp pain between her fingers, and scarlet blood gushed out from under the knife.

She quickly dripped the blood into the sink.

The bright red blood fell into the clear water, quickly turning into strands of red thread that completely dispersed and disappeared into the water.

Perhaps it was because the lighting was too dim, but Shiori Hagoromo felt that the water in the pool seemed to have turned a little red...

Shiori Hagami put her injured finger in her mouth and licked it; a strong metallic taste instantly filled her entire mouth.

The smell of rust and the slight tingling sensation from her wound invigorated her.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then placed her hands on the sink, faced the mirror, slowly closed her eyes, and softly called out a name.

"Ninomiya... Reika!"

After losing her sight, Shiori Hagiya's other senses suddenly became acute.

call!

A gust of wind blew in from somewhere, making the bathroom window rattle and creak.

A rustling sound came from the corner as something crawled by.

Drip! The sound of dripping water grew clearer and clearer, as if it were echoing right next to her ears.

In the darkness, something seemed to slowly awaken because of her calls.

Shiori Hagamiya gritted her teeth and called out that name again.

"Ninomiya Reika".

She had barely finished speaking.

Clang!

A loud crash came from the shower stall inside, as if something was forcefully banging on the stall door.

Shiori Hagamiya was startled, her body jerked violently, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she almost opened her eyes.

Another loud bang, this time coming from directly in front of Shiori Hagiya.

Something crashed heavily into the mirror in front of her.

Bah!

The mirror suddenly made a clicking sound.

At this point, Shiori Hagamiya could no longer hold back and suddenly opened her eyes.

The first thing you see is a mirror covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and a candle whose flame flickers constantly.

She looked as if she had been divided into countless pieces in the mirror.

She did nothing, so why did the mirror in front of her suddenly shatter?

This bizarre turn of events left Shiori Hagamiya somewhat bewildered.

The ceremony was not yet complete, but she no longer knew whether she should continue.

Just as Shiori Hagamiya was hesitating, she suddenly smiled in the mirror.

But that smile looked incredibly eerie, full of malice as it watched its foolish prey fall into its trap.

Whoops!

A gust of wind suddenly blew into the public restroom, whose doors and windows were tightly closed.

The candle was blown out instantly, and the surroundings became pitch black.

Shiori Hagami felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She shakily fumbled for the matchbox on the sink, trying to relight the candle.

Just then, a pair of withered, bluish-purple hands, covered in death spots and with sharp nails, silently reached out from behind her neck and covered her mouth...

Xu Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard faint footsteps outside the door.

Hey!

Hey!

He quickly picked up his phone; it was already 2 a.m. and it was pitch black outside.

Who's still loitering in the hallway so late?

Xu Ming immediately recalled Karen's strange warning.

This is clearly telling him that there's something wrong with the footsteps.

Even if he were the one who came to solve strange events, any ordinary person would run out out of curiosity after hearing her words.

A woman with a terrible temper!

That sadistic woman is obviously setting a trap for him again!

Well, for the sake of event completion and hidden rewards, he willingly jumped into this trap.

Xu Ming then decisively took out his phone and crowbar, and summoned the little piglet and Erina.

After making all the preparations, Xu Ming pushed open the door and went out.

Footsteps could be heard faintly coming from the end of the corridor.

Xu Ming quickly looked in that direction, only to find a blurry figure carrying a lantern in the distance. The figure disappeared as soon as it turned the corner.

Xu Ming quickly led the two of them to chase after them.

Just as I reached the corner, I saw a figure walking ahead, the rhythmic footsteps echoing in the corridor.

But the moment Xu Ming saw the figure clearly, he immediately became alert.

It turned out to be a strange figure dressed in a nun's habit.

That's right, it's the nun's habit from movies and TV shows.

Although it looks somewhat similar to the school uniforms at first glance, you can still see the differences upon closer inspection.

The biggest difference was that the figure was wearing a black veil, a trait unique to nuns.

She was also carrying a medieval kerosene lamp.

She looks like she stepped right out of history.

Who would dress up as a medieval nun and wander around the corridor in the middle of the night?

There's a 99% chance this nun has something wrong with her.

Xu Ming followed the strange nun all the way to the depths of the floor.

Soon the nun's body became ethereal, slipped into a door, and disappeared.

There was indeed a problem.

Xu Ming could see it clearly: the door to the room was closed, and the nun simply walked through the door, like a ghost.

Xu Ming hurried to the door of that room.

The door to the room was bound by a thick chain, with a large, rusty padlock hanging on it, which seemed to have not been opened for a long time.

A faded sign hung on the door, the words 'Piano Room' still faintly discernible.

Chapter 249 Be Serious!

Xu Ming looked around and, seeing no one, quickly picked up a crowbar, inserted it into the lock ring, and slowly applied force.

click!

With a muffled thud, the lock came off.

Xu Ming tried to untangle the tangled iron chains as quietly as possible.

Just as Xu Ming was about to push the door open and enter, melodious piano music suddenly came from the room.

The little piglet was startled and quickly grabbed Xu Ming's trouser leg, trembling.

This guy has witnessed so many strange and terrifying scenes with Xu Ming, yet he's still so timid.

Xu Ming patted its little head, pushed open the door, and went inside.

This is a fairly large room, which looks like a small concert hall. The piano is placed on the steps at the far end of the room, and there are about 10 stools in front of the steps.
