Why is my anime art style so weird?

Bang!Bang!

The rhythmic thumping sounds echoed eerily in the silent corridor.

Xu Ming thought for a moment, put down the crowbar, but raised his phone and pressed the shutter button, aiming it at the woman.

Click!

The purple-gold lightning instantly dispelled the darkness in the corridor.

"Ah!"

The woman seemed to be terrified; she immediately knelt on the ground, covered her head, and screamed loudly.

However, she was indeed not harmed by the exorcism flashlight.

Xu Ming was basically certain that she was indeed a living person.

As he approached, Xu Ming carefully examined her, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"You are...Lady Asagami!?"

Indeed, the disheveled, barefoot woman in front of Xu Ming, wearing a dirty white dress, was Asagami Yasuzo's wife and Asagami Fujino's biological mother, Asagami Tamao.

When the Asagami family went bankrupt, she remarried into the Asagami family, a branch family, taking the young Fujino with her.

Xu Ming looked at the woman in front of him, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

She, a perfectly healthy person, was able to wander around this abandoned mansion occupied by eeriness.

And judging from the situation, she's been here for quite some time.

This woman must have some secret.

"Mrs. Asagami, I'm looking for your daughter, Asagami Fujino. Do you know where she is?"

Xu Ming said in a friendly tone.

Upon hearing the name 'Asagami Fujino', Mrs. Asagami's trembling body suddenly stopped, as if she had been stunned.

Seeing her unusual reaction, Xu Ming's eyes flashed with understanding; this woman indeed knew something.

Xu Ming continued to play with the crowbar while asking the questions several times in a gentle tone.

However, Lady Asagami kept her head down and curled up in a ball, ignoring him completely.

Xu Ming touched his nose.

He can strike hard when faced with something 'weird'.

But faced with a living, breathing person, and a pitiful, crazy woman at that, he didn't know what to do.

Just when Xu Ming was at a loss, he suddenly heard Madam Asagami humming a folk song softly, which sounded like a folk song from some place.

Xu Ming also discovered that she was holding a hand-sewn doll in her arms.

This doll has long, purplish-black hair that falls to her waist, red buttons sewn onto her eyes, and she wears a simple black dress.

Although the doll was crudely made, considering the status of Lady Asagami, Xu Ming felt that the doll symbolized Asagami Fujino.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Lady Asagami stopped humming the lullaby, hugged the doll, and whispered sorry over and over again, occasionally banging her head against the door in front of her.

Xu Ming had thought it would be difficult to find any more clues from her, but seeing this scene, he suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, Xu Ming suddenly felt a cold, sharp gaze directed at him.

Xu Ming looked up and vaguely saw a figure dressed in a dark blue nun's habit standing quietly at the end of the corridor.

The sun outside seemed to be suddenly obscured by more dark clouds, and the light in the corridor instantly dimmed.

The figure vanished into the darkness, leaving only a pair of eyes gleaming like jewels, gazing at him.

"Asagami Fujino..."

Xu Ming murmured softly.

The next second, the light in the corridor returned to normal, and Asagami Fujino's figure disappeared again.

Xu Ming glanced at Madam Asagami, who was still holding the doll and muttering to herself, and then strode towards the place where Asagami Fujino had disappeared.

Chapter 276 Human Desires (Part 1)

Reaching the end of the corridor, Xu Ming found a sliding door.

Upon opening the door, it turned out to be a spacious bathroom.

However, when he opened the door, a strong stench hit him.

An incredibly disgusting monster was lurking in the large bathhouse.

The monster appeared to be made up of countless piles of flesh and blood, emanating a strong stench of decay and blood, and topped with the head of a rotting and deformed middle-aged man.

The moment Xu Ming opened the bathroom door, the head immediately opened its eyes, its gaze filled with chaotic, ferocious, blood-red light.

The mass of flesh immediately began to writhe, extending countless fleshy tentacles to attack Xu Ming.

"My lord (Xu Mingjun), be careful!"

Haruyuki Arita and Erina behind him exclaimed loudly.

The fleshy tentacles moved incredibly fast, reaching Xu Ming in the blink of an eye.

However, just as the fleshy tentacles were about to entangle Xu Ming, the cross on his chest immediately emitted a dazzling golden light.

Immediately afterwards, the cross spewed out golden flames, which instantly burned back along the fleshy tentacles.

Aww!!

The monster's head immediately opened wide and it howled loudly.

Seeing this, Xu Ming felt much more at ease. He calmly picked up his phone, pointed the camera at the monster, and pressed the shutter button.

One second, two seconds, three seconds!

Xu Ming released the shutter button, and in an instant, a purple-gold light swept through the entire bathroom like a tsunami.

The light was so strong that it spilled out of the bathroom and spread throughout the entire house.

Instantly, screams and wails rose and fell.

As the light slowly faded, the monster in the bathtub had turned into charcoal and was slowly disintegrating into ashes. In that instant, nine out of ten of the 'weird things' that had been lurking in the house were sent to their doom by Xu Ming.

A fully charged attack, terrifying indeed!

The monster's shell slowly dissipated, and a middle-aged man with a terrified expression gradually emerged from within.

His body was ethereal, like a phantom, seemingly a soul purified from its physical form.

This was the first time Xu Ming had ever seen such a rare phenomenon.

Judging from the situation, it seems that this middle-aged man is not a naturally formed 'weird', but rather it is as if his soul has been forcibly stuffed into the body of a 'weird'.

and many more!

Xu Ming suddenly felt that this man looked familiar.

He quickly remembered that the man was Asagami Fujino's stepfather, Asagami Yasuzo.

Xu Ming had seen his photo when he was researching the Asagami family's records.

Someone has turned Asagami Khamzang into something eerie!?

Who did it?

Xu Ming had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

This answer was quickly confirmed.

Suddenly, Asagami Fujino appeared silently behind Asagami Yasuzo and grabbed his head.

Asagami Kōzō's face immediately filled with terror, his mouth opening and closing, his eyes filled with pleading. He seemed to be begging for mercy, but he couldn't utter a sound.

Xu Ming immediately sensed that something was wrong.

However, before he could take any action, Asagami Fujino's eyes began to twist and rotate, while simultaneously radiating a magnificent, jewel-like luster.

"Feel my joy, oh brother..."

Asagami Fujino murmured softly.

The next second, Asakami Kōzō's soul was twisted into fragments.

Silk!

Xu Ming couldn't help but gasp.

This isn't like him eliminating the supernatural.

His elimination of the supernatural was actually breaking down the shell of the supernatural, which was made of negative energy, and releasing the soul inside. As for whether that soul became a Buddha, went to hell, or was reincarnated, that was none of his concern.

To sum it up in one sentence: the judgment is God's business, and Xu Ming's job is only to send them to meet God.

However, Asagami Fujino's actions were different; she directly caused her stepfather's soul to be scattered!

What a deep-seated hatred and resentment this is!

Xu Ming stared at Asagami Fujino in astonishment.

He soon found out the answer.

Just after Asagami Fujino shattered Asagami Yasuzo's soul, for some unknown reason, large swathes of steam suddenly billowed out of the bathroom.

The fog spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Asagami Fujino's figure disappeared from his sight.

Out of caution, Xu Ming was about to leave the bathroom.

Just then, the fog began to change, and a hazy scene appeared before Xu Ming's eyes.

It looks a bit like a 3D projection, but it also appears very illusory, like a mirage.

Xu Ming stopped in his tracks.

"Come here! You damned monster!"

With a forceful voice, a man forcibly pushed a little girl into the bathroom.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ming frowned. He immediately recognized the man as Asakami Kōzō, who was more than ten years younger.
