Why is my anime art style so weird?

The melodious piano music echoed in the empty room.

A nun dressed entirely in black sat with her back to them at the piano, playing slowly. A kerosene lamp beside her cast her shadow on the wall.

The scene that unfolded before Xu Ming's eyes felt extremely strange to him.

He carefully examined everything in the room.

His gaze lingered on the nun's shadow.

The shadow was blurry, but it was still generally clear that it was a slender person playing the piano.

But... what's terrifying is that the shadow didn't have a head!

Anyone who has seen that headless shadow reflected on the wall will feel extremely uneasy.

Xu Ming led the two over, cautiously refraining from reaching out, and instead tapped the piano with a crowbar.

dong dong!

Suddenly, a strange noise entered the smooth piano music, and the nun's fingers stopped.

Xu Ming then noticed that her fingers were deathly white, almost like those of a dead person.

Xu Ming quickly picked up his phone and pointed it at her, his eyes fixed on her.

However, Xu Ming did not take action directly.

This sudden and strange occurrence seems unrelated to the mission of Class 1D in the first year of high school, so it is very likely to be another side mission.

Making her a Buddha is simple; she only needs to move her finger.

But if you miss an important clue and the side quest becomes impossible to complete, that would be troublesome.

Xu Ming could sense that the 'strange' appearance of the nun in front of him did not exert a strong pressure on him, and he guessed that her soul level was probably between level 2 and 3.

Just as he was thinking of a solution, the nun slowly turned her head.

A beautiful, yet bloodless, pale face appeared before Xu Ming.

She stared at Xu Ming with a blank expression, her inorganic gaze sending chills down one's spine.

'No! She's not looking at me!'

Xu Ming was suddenly startled. He realized that the nun's gaze seemed to be slightly off-target.

Suddenly, the little piglet and Erina exclaimed at the same time.

"Xu Ming (My Lord), watch out!"

Xu Ming instantly felt a gust of evil wind coming from behind him.

He instinctively dodged to the side.

Then a flash of cold light appeared and disappeared, instantly slicing across the nun's neck.

Pfft!

With the sound of flesh being torn apart, blood gushed out from the severed neck like a fountain, instantly staining the surroundings red.

On the pure white piano keys, vibrant blood-red blossoms bloom in full glory.

The nun's beautiful head fell directly into the piano, hitting the strings and producing an eerie buzzing sound.

Her unclosed eyes were turned towards the piano, towards where Xu Ming was, and two lines of bloody tears slid down her cheeks.

The culprit behind all this was actually a Japanese soldier who appeared out of nowhere, wearing an old-fashioned, khaki-colored uniform!

He held a blood-stained Japanese sword in his hand, staring at Xu Ming with a ferocious expression, like a butcher looking at livestock to be slaughtered.

Soon, he slowly approached Xu Ming while emitting strange laughter.

Xu Ming immediately raised his phone and flashed it at him.

The purple-gold lightning instantly illuminated the dark piano room.

The Japanese soldiers were instantly reduced to ashes.

But when he turned to ashes, it was as if some switch had been triggered.

A massive amount of black energy swept in like a storm, instantly engulfing the piano room.

The remains of Japanese soldiers, the corpse of a nun, and the bloodstains on the piano all disappeared.

Everything before seemed like an illusion.

Faced with such a bizarre scene, Xu Ming reached out with some confusion and tapped the piano.

The grand piano, which had been sitting for decades, still produced clear and melodious notes.

Just then, the strange nun once again passed through the door and entered the piano room.

She completely ignored Xu Ming's presence, walked straight to the piano, sat down, and then placed her hands on the keys.

The melodious tune began again.

Then Japanese soldiers appeared, drew their swords, and beheaded someone... Time seemed to flow backward.

Xu Ming frowned as he watched the Japanese soldier, who was once again treating him like prey, raise his katana and walk towards him.

He smashed the Japanese soldier's head with a crowbar, but the result was that everything had to start all over again.

Everything that happened in the piano room seemed to become an endless cycle, constantly repeating the scene of the nun being killed by Japanese soldiers.

When the Japanese soldier appeared for the third time, Xu Ming stopped Erina's attempt to attack, picked up a crowbar, casually broke his leg, and then led the two of them directly out of the piano room.

There must be some details he missed or didn't resolve.

If this isn't resolved, everything in the piano room will remain in a vicious cycle.

After leaving the piano room, everything returned to normal as expected, and the 'strange' thing inside did not follow.

Xu Ming returned to his room, completely baffled.

Liyuan is clearly a girls' college, and its predecessor was a church school. So where did the Japanese soldiers come from?

The night passed quickly, and the sunlight once again illuminated Liyuan Girls' College.

After washing up and having breakfast in the faculty and staff canteen, Xu Ming immediately went to the infirmary and knocked on the door.

After a while, Karen, wearing a semi-transparent nightgown that revealed her delicate body and with her hair slightly disheveled, opened the door to the infirmary while yawning.

At this point, she was still muttering impatiently.

"Who is it?! So thirsty so early in the morning!"

When she opened the door and saw Xu Ming standing outside with a dark expression on his face, she immediately perked up and a playful smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, it's Investigator Sir. What can I do for you?"

Xu Ming's expression darkened further when he saw that this woman with a terrible temper was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

He pushed his way into the infirmary, slammed the door shut, and then shoved Karen against the wall.

A sly glint flashed in Karen's eyes, then she lowered her head shyly.

"Please, please be gentle."

Xu Ming remained unmoved with a cold face. He directly pulled out a crowbar and smashed it next to Karen's ear with a loud thud!

"Be serious! Don't test my patience!"

Karen shrugged and shut her mouth.

Chapter 250 The Secrets of the Predecessor of Liyuan

"Tell me, what secrets are hidden within this academy?"

Xu Ming asked in a deep voice.

"You really want to know?"

Karen's expression began to turn serious.

Xu Ming nodded.

Karen remained silent for a moment, then slowly reached out and twirled the hair at her temple before speaking.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with telling you. Everything that happens here isn't a secret within the church itself."

You should know that Liyuan used to be a church school.

Xu Ming nodded.

"Do you know why church schools become places of worship?"

Xu Ming shook his head. He had always thought this was just background information, but now, judging from Karen's words, it seemed there was more to it than met the eye!

"This school was built a hundred years ago and was originally used by the Japanese branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to train nuns."

However, in the final moments of that great war, as Japan was on the verge of defeat, a group of crazed Japanese army idiots stormed into a church school, first massacring foreign nuns, and then, in their bloodlust, even slaughtering their own countrymen.

Xu Ming was dumbfounded. He couldn't win on the front lines, so he came back to slaughter unarmed nuns in his own country. What kind of stupid move was this?

Wait a minute... thinking about it carefully, those army idiots really did it.

Karen ignored the strange expression on Xu Ming's face and continued her story:

"Although the army deer, including their superiors, were forced to commit seppuku as an apology, the heavy losses suffered by the church school were already a foregone conclusion."

The church eventually had no choice but to sell the school to the local Huang Lu family, which then transformed it into the present-day Liyuan..."

Karen's expression was somber.

"In an effort to appease the resentment of the dead, the Church once held a sacred ceremony here, intending to purify the souls of the nuns. However, some nuns died too tragically, and their resentment was difficult to dispel, so they still wander in the ceremonial garden."

The Huang family can only periodically invite the Holy Church to hold large-scale masses here to comfort the souls of the nuns.

In recent years, however, the Shinto Church and the Church of Japan have become enemies, and the Shinto Church has turned to colluding with the Clock Tower. It has become very difficult for the Huang family to find qualified clergy to hold large-scale masses for the Liyuan Church.

Without the solace of Mass, the spirits of the nuns began to haunt the campus again.

Karen paused for a moment, then continued:

"Fortunately, most nuns are not bad by nature, and as long as you don't provoke them, you won't be in any danger."

That's why Liyuan has implemented strict curfews in recent years, especially prohibiting anyone from loitering in the corridors after midnight.

Karen's throat was dry from talking, so she couldn't help but pour herself a glass of water and gulp it down in one go.
