Why is my anime art style so weird?

The vengeful spirit seemed to feel humiliated by Xu Ming's gaze.

Pfft!

The rope suspending him by the neck snapped suddenly.

He fell straight down onto the coffee table.

His actions seemed to be a signal, and the entire living room began to undergo tremendous changes.

The calligraphy hanging on the wall, the character 'Zen' in the middle seemed to come alive, twisting and turning like an insect or snake. After a moment of twisting, it turned into a large, blood-red character 'Death'.

A crimson light suddenly shone from the eyes of the warrior in front, and the joints of the armor made a cracking sound, as if the armor was about to start moving.

The transparent glass door looked as if someone had splashed a bucket of blood on it, turning it completely blood red.

As the faint sunlight streamed in, the entire living room was instantly bathed in a crimson hue, and even a faint smell of blood began to permeate the air.

After the hanged vengeful spirit fell onto the coffee table, it immediately spread its limbs on the ground, making strange gurgling noises as it crawled towards Xu Ming like a wild beast.

The little piglet quickly transformed into a silver crow. Erina had just condensed a bolt of lightning in her palm when Xu Ming, holding a crowbar, directly confronted the vengeful spirit.

Seeing Xu Ming approach, the vengeful spirit seemed even more excited and immediately stretched out its hand covered with sharp nails, fiercely pouncing on him.

Unfortunately, his fingernail just missed touching Xu Ming by a tiny bit.

The cross on Xu Ming's chest suddenly shone brightly, instantly dispelling the blood-red hue in the living room.

A golden flame burned back along the vengeful spirit's hand.

The vengeful spirit was instantly engulfed in golden flames, rolling and howling on the ground, looking utterly miserable.

After a long while, the flames gradually died down.

At this moment, the vengeful spirit was charred black all over, and its arm, which was the first to be ignited, was completely burned to ashes.

"Huh? It didn't burn to death?"

Is this your reason for not running away but daring to take the initiative?

Just because you're slightly better than the other small fry?

You're so brave!

Xu Ming teased, somewhat surprised.

However, the vengeful spirit now only had the strength to lie on the ground and wail.

Xu Ming shrugged, shook his arms, loosened his wrists, then assumed a golf swinging stance before aiming the crowbar at the vengeful spirit's head and swinging it hard.

Haw!

A deformed, charred head flew off and landed directly in front of the samurai's armor, then gradually turned to ashes.

Xu Ming slung the crowbar over his shoulder and strode arrogantly toward the warrior armor.

The samurai armor immediately went cold, as if the power had been cut off; the red light in his eyes vanished instantly, and his body remained motionless.

Xu Ming reached out and tapped on the helmet of the samurai armor, making a clanging sound.

"Listen up, you guys inside! You're surrounded! Get out here right now!"

Click! Click!

Unexpectedly, the samurai in armor shook his head, adopting a posture of non-violent non-cooperation.

Then Xu Ming resorted to violence.

He kicked the armor to the ground, then picked up the crowbar...

10 minute later.

Xu Ming looked at the shattered armor on the ground, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a refreshed expression.

As he looked up, the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall quietly slid down.

When it realized Xu Ming had noticed it, it scurried away like a mouse, disappearing behind the cabinet below.

Xu Ming quickly pried open the cabinet and started searching, but found nothing.

"Do you think you can escape like this?"

Xu Ming smiled faintly, picked up his phone, estimated the approximate location, and pressed the shutter button.

With a crack!, the purple-gold lightning seemed to penetrate the walls and the tatami mats on the floor.

Xu Ming vaguely heard more than one scream, and soon the surroundings became quiet.

Xu Ming put his phone away and turned around, only to find the little piglet trembling behind Erina, while Erina looked at him with a strange expression.

"My lord, are you alright?"

After a short while, Erina asked cautiously.

Xu Ming waved his hand.

“I know what you’re trying to say. You might think I’m being reckless today, but I know very well that nothing here poses a threat to me.”

Although Xu Ming is reckless and impulsive, he is not stupid.

According to the system's assessment, the difficulty of the "Despair Spiral" mission related to Asagami Fujino is three and a half stars. Based on Xu Ming's past experience, the strongest "weird" that appears in it will not exceed the soul level 4. Even if an anomaly occurs, the soul level of the "weird" will at most rise to level 5.

The relic 'Saintess's Prayer' in Xu Ming's possession is equivalent to a seven-star equipment and is used to deal with soul level 7.

Moreover, 'Saintess's Prayer' is a defensive and restorative equipment, which makes him invincible from the start.

Xu Ming had always been extremely cautious because the 'strange' methods were unpredictable and could easily catch him off guard. He only had one life, so he had no choice but to be careful.

Chapter 275 Letting Go of One's Inner Self

Just like every support player has a heart set on dealing damage.

If you can mow down enemies with unparalleled speed, who would want to suffer the hardships of blacksmithing?

This can be considered as Xu Ming's long-suppressed emotions finally erupting in a small way.

If it were blonde Erina, she might have made a few sarcastic remarks, but purple-haired Erina was the most sensible. Since Xu Ming had said so, she immediately shut her mouth and let Xu Ming start his unparalleled mowing-down mode.

As a result, the 'strangeness' in this house was completely ruined.

Ghostly winds and will-o'-the-wisps—kill!

Kill the face hidden in the wall!

Kill the female ghost in white!

Crawling evil spirit, kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

"Hmph! This place is filled with yin energy. I've already started a massacre, and you still linger like ghosts. You're simply courting death!"

With a crowbar in his left hand and a cell phone in his right, Xu Ming, like a god of war descending, almost completely wiped out the 'strange' things on the first floor of the house.

No, it should be phrased in a gentler way.

He personally sent all the 'strangeness' on the first floor to Buddhahood.

Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said~

Perhaps it's because we've been suppressed for too long in this dangerous world.

This rampage actually gave Xu Ming a sense of exhilarating freedom, a feeling of complete liberation.

However, Xu Ming quickly calmed down.

Appropriate venting is beneficial to physical and mental health, but indulging in endless catharsis is a lack of self-discipline, allowing instinct to overcome reason, which is undesirable.

Now that the first floor had been cleaned up, Xu Ming turned his attention to the second floor.

Leading the two shikigami, they arrived at the stairwell leading to the second floor.

Xu Ming immediately saw a pale figure flash past the stairwell.

"Stop! Don't run!"

Xu Ming shouted out subconsciously, and at the same time gripped the crowbar and quickly stepped up the stairs, rushing to the second floor.

The second floor was noticeably darker and more gloomy than the first floor, with thick curtains blocking out the sunlight.

Occasionally, strange noises could be heard from the dark corridor, as if something was lurking in the darkness.

A strange smell filled the air, a nauseating mixture of mold, rotting flesh, and blood.

As soon as Xu Ming reached the second floor, he immediately saw a white figure flash by around the corner in the distance.

"stop!"

He called out instinctively.

Upon hearing his voice, the figure seemed startled and ran even faster, disappearing around the corner in an instant.

Xu Ming quickly chased after him.

Erina and Haruyuki Arita, who were behind him, exchanged a glance and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This was probably their easiest exploration yet; all they had to do was follow Xu Ming and shout "666!"

As soon as he turned a corner, Xu Ming saw a woman dressed in white standing in the doorway of a room, repeatedly banging her head against the door.

Xu Ming subconsciously raised the crowbar in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Erina immediately spoke up to stop him.

"My lord, she seems to be alive!"

"Um!?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming neither put down the crowbar nor swung it.

He activated his spiritual vision and looked at the woman.

Under the power of spiritual vision, some dark aspects were laid bare.

The woman was wrapped in black, thread-like negative energy, though not in large quantities.

He appears to be just an ordinary person shrouded in yin energy.

The woman was very strange; she ignored Xu Ming and instead kept banging her head against the door.
