Why is my anime art style so weird?

As if she had thought of something happy, a pleasant smile appeared on Karen's face.

On the other end of the phone, Bishop Perod spoke again.

"Who is this Xu Ming you mentioned?"

Karen quickly reported Xu Ming's general situation to Bishop Perodua.

Bishop Perodua pondered for a moment.

Is there any way to win him over?

"It should be possible."

Karen gave an affirmative answer.

"He's just a peripheral member of the Exorcist Association, not a member of Shintoism, and I heard he recently made an enemy of a certain shrine."

"Find a way to win him over!"

Bishop Perodua immediately and decisively issued the order.

"Your will."

Karen answered respectfully.

After hanging up the phone, Bishop Perodua, far away in the Vatican's Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs, fell into deep thought.

The Japanese man was unaware that he was well aware of just how formidable the monster sealed in the underground church was.

The fact that they were able to eliminate that kind of monster is proof of their strength.

As for whether Xu Ming believed in God or Jesus Christ, Bishop Perodua simply didn't care.

The Vatican has plenty of devout believers; it doesn't need another one like him.

As a high-ranking member of the church, Perodua was well aware that there were many unbelieving members within the church.

His Lord needs a sharp sword that can open up the faith for the church.

After all, they were recruiting thugs, not someone to compete for the Pope's position.

and……

"Those monkeys in the Far East have been getting increasingly restless lately, frequently flirting with those shameless guys at the Clock Tower."

Perhaps I should take some time to visit the Far East and meet that interesting young man. I think his name is Xu Ming…

Bishop Perodua muttered to himself.

Xu Ming was naturally unaware that he had been targeted by someone.

He is already on his way home.

Located deep in the mountains, Reien is far from downtown Tokyo; there isn't even a subway nearby.

Xu Ming had to take a shuttle bus near Liyuan to get out of the mountains, and then use his mobile phone to locate the nearest subway station.

When he staggered out of the subway station, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. It had taken him about two or three hours to get here from the gate of Liyuan.

Such a long journey, coupled with not sleeping last night, almost made him collapse from exhaustion.

However, he cannot stop now.

Although he had informed his older sister in advance, and she had even come to his door in person, Xu Ming still felt uncertain, since he hadn't been home for almost a week.

Chapter 270 What's it like to be pinned against the wall by your own older sister?

After exiting the subway station, Xu Ming hurriedly headed home.

However, when he was almost home, Xu Ming thought for a moment and changed his mind. He took a detour and went to a nearby shopping street to buy his older sister's favorite wagashi (Japanese sweets) as an offering.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted wagashi in the box, Xu Ming silently prayed that these things might calm his older sister's anger a little, perhaps...

Because he had to take a detour, Xu Ming had to rush home via an unfamiliar street.

Just as he was crossing a zebra crossing, a soft voice suddenly came from the side.

"Excuse me... can you help me?"

Xu Ming stopped in his tracks, curious, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A thin figure stood quietly in front of the zebra crossing.

She was wearing a simple white dress and a straw hat, her slightly pale face mostly obscured by sunglasses.

She appeared to be a girl a year or two younger than him.

Are you talking to me?

Xu Ming pointed to himself uncertainly. He searched his memory but couldn't recall ever seeing the other person before.

"Yes, sir, could you please do me a favor?"

The girl standing on the street asked softly, her voice tinged with a hint of pleading.

"What kind of help?"

Could you please help me cross the street?

Crossing the street? Why don't you just walk across yourself...

Just as Xu Ming was about to say that, his gaze swept slightly downwards and he immediately saw the guide cane in the girl's hand.

Xu Ming suddenly realized.

It turns out the girl is blind.

Xu Ming looked to the side. Many zebra crossings in Tokyo have a button next to the traffic lights that can control the traffic lights. Once pressed, the light will turn red, and the traffic will stop to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the zebra crossing.

However, this seems to be an old-fashioned neighborhood, without those controllable traffic lights.

No wonder this blind girl needed help from others.

"can."

Xu Ming gave a brief reply.

It wouldn't take long to help her cross the street; it was just a small favor.

"Thank you!"

Before Xu Ming could even take her there, the girl thanked him repeatedly with a grateful expression, making Xu Ming feel a little embarrassed.

"Let me take your hand and lead you there."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

As the girl spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly as she extended her hand.

Perhaps because she couldn't see, the girl had very keen hearing and quickly recognized that Xu Ming was the same age as her.

Without thinking twice, Xu Ming immediately took the girl's hand.

Cold and thin, that was the only feeling he evoked in Xu Ming, who couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

It's so warm, and the girl's heart is filled with countless thoughts.

As soon as the traffic light changed, Xu Ming quickly said:

"let's go."

"Ah."

The girl nodded and responded softly.

The blush on her face didn't fade; instead, it intensified.

Xu Ming took the girl's hand and walked onto the zebra crossing.

To accommodate the girl's inconvenience, Xu Ming deliberately slowed down, trying his best to match the girl's pace.

The street wasn't wide, and Xu Ming quickly led the girl to the other side of the street.

"We've arrived."

"Thank you so much for your help."

The girl quickly bowed to express her gratitude to Xu Ming.

"You are welcome."

Xu Ming subconsciously waved his hand, but when he saw the sunglasses on the girl's face, he lowered his hand again.

"You are such a kind and gentle person. I'm leaving now, goodbye."

The girl bowed again.

Xu Ming's movements suddenly froze.

Yasasi? A good person!

I helped you, and you just gave me a buff?!

However, Xu Ming quickly realized that the other party's gratitude was genuine, not sarcasm.

However, this kind of gratitude made Xu Ming feel strange.

Watching the girl's departing figure, listening to the increasingly faint tapping sound.

Xu Ming sighed, quickly put the matter out of his mind, and turned to head home.

He and the girl did not exchange names; it was just a minor incident in their lives, nothing more...

Back home, Xu Ming carefully opened the apartment door.

The house was quiet; there wasn't a sound.

But the more this was the case, the more Xu Ming felt that this was the last calm before the storm.

Xu Ming carried the wagashi (Japanese sweets), carefully closed the door, and then walked towards the living room.

The room was dark, with the curtains drawn and the lights off.

Xu Ming entered the living room, and his heart skipped a beat!

A dark figure sat quietly at the dining table in the living room.

"elder sister?"
