Why is my anime art style so weird?

As for the little girl, she had short purple hair, red eyes, and a delicate face, like a porcelain doll. She was clearly Asagami Fujino when she was a child!

Xu Ming originally thought that Asagami Kōzō brought Asagami Fujino here to do something that deserved to be executed.

But Xu Ming soon realized something was wrong.

Asagami Kōzō's expression was strange; it was a distorted expression that mixed fear and anger.

After the two entered the bathroom, Asagami Yasuzo casually closed the door.

Just as Asagami Fujino looked completely bewildered, Asagami Yasuzo kicked her to the ground.

"You cursed creature! Why are you still alive?!"

Why don't you just die?!

Asagami Yasuzo roared, completely disregarding the fact that he weighed several times more than the girl, and suddenly sat down on Asagami Fujino.

Bah!Bah!

He started punching and kicking the little girl. His ferocious appearance was not like that of a stepdaughter, but rather like that of a blood feud.

"Go to hell!"

You cursed monster, just die!

Asagami Yasuzo cursed loudly as he beat Asagami Fujino even more vigorously.

Drops of blood splattered onto the white tiles, slowly sliding down...

Strangely, Asagami Fujino remained silent despite the cruel treatment she received, as if she wasn't the one being beaten.

However, Asagami Yasuzo's fierce and ferocious appearance seemed to frighten her. Asagami Fujino looked at Asagami Yasuzo with a fearful expression, which seemed to be mixed with a trace of confusion.

Her young mind couldn't understand why she had to suffer such treatment.

Asagami Fujino was beaten black and blue, but she remained silent.

Her unusual reaction, in turn, provoked Asagami Kōzō.

"You monster, can't you feel pain?"

Oh, right! You're a cursed monster, you must be feeling really happy right now!

Laugh! Fuck you, laugh!

Asagami Kangzang roared, his face contorted in pain.

Asagami Fujino, who was still just a child, had never seen anything like this before.

She naively thought that as long as she behaved, she wouldn't be beaten.

Then Asagami Fujino revealed a smile that was even more painful than crying.

A sickly smile appeared on Asagami Yasuzo's face. He raised his fist and swung it down again with all his might, blood splattering everywhere...

Chapter 277 Human Desires (Part 2)

This outburst seemed to have turned on a morbid switch for Asagami Kōzō.

For the next ten years, Asagami Fujino lived as if she were in hell.

The company's stock price plummeted, attributed to the bad luck brought on by that cursed girl, Asagami Fujino. She was dragged into the bathroom and given a severe beating.

He closed a big deal and wanted to celebrate, so he dragged her into the bathroom and beat her up.

When I'm in a good mood, I beat him up; when I'm in a bad mood, I beat him up; when I'm in the mood, I still beat him up.

Asagami Fujino became a complete outlet for Asagami Kōzō's pent-up emotions.

The bathroom, with its good sound insulation and ease of cleaning, became his ideal place for torture.

Asagami Fujino's childhood was almost entirely spent being beaten up.

The only saving grace is that, in order to seal Asagami Fujino's twisted demonic eyes, Asagami Yasuzo used drugs to make her develop acquired painlessness, so Asagami Fujino did not feel much physical pain.

In addition, apart from the first time, Asagami Yasuzo was afraid that others would find out his secret, so he would try his best not to leave any marks on Asagami Fujino when he beat her in the future.

What Xu Ming saw next was a fast-forwarded scene of what happened in the bathroom; 10 years had passed in the blink of an eye.

The image of Asagami Yasuzo's ferocious face and the pitiful and helpless Asagami Fujino was deeply imprinted in Xu Ming's mind.

It seems this guy's death was truly deserved.

The scene in the mist dissipated, and then the mist slowly dissipated as well. Xu Ming walked out of the bathroom with a heavy heart and returned to Madam Asagami's side, looking at the crazy woman with a complicated expression.

He now understood why Mrs. Asagami was holding the doll that symbolized Fujino Asagami and kept saying sorry.

Over the course of 10 years, everything Asagami Kōzō did could be kept secret from the servants in the mansion, but not from his wife, Asagami Tamao.

However, this timid woman chose to remain silent in order to maintain the stability of her remarried family.

On the one hand, she felt extremely heartbroken and guilty about what her biological daughter had gone through, but on the other hand, she dared not resist her husband.

Asagami Fujino did not kill her, but Asagami Tamao still lived in endless self-blame and conflicted pain, unable to extricate herself.

For Asagami Fujino, the person who should have protected her, who should have been her last hope, chose to remain silent.

Xu Ming could not even begin to imagine the despair in Asagami Fujino's heart.

No wonder this incident was named 'Despair Spiral' by the system.

This is truly a fitting name that makes it impossible to laugh...

Xu Ming raised his head and looked at the door that Asagami Tamao was repeatedly banging her head against.

If this incident were a jigsaw puzzle, Xu Ming had already found about 90% of the pieces. What he needed to find out next was the key to the incident: the mystery of Asagami Fujino's death.

Xu Ming had a premonition that the answer he was looking for was behind the door.

Xu Ming reached for the doorknob, but Asagami Tamao seemed to be provoked by his action and immediately looked up and stared at him intently.

Click!

The door appeared to be locked.

Xu Ming picked up the crowbar, inserted the flat end into the door crack, and pried it open forcefully.

Crack!

The door lock area immediately snapped open, and the lock head fell off.

Just as Xu Ming was about to open the door and go in, Asagami Tamao suddenly grabbed his leg.

You can't go in!

Xu Ming's face darkened.

While Xu Ming could understand Asagami Tamao's behavior, it didn't mean he would like what she did.

In Xu Ming's view, this woman was not worthy of being called a mother. The fact that he did not directly hit her showed that Xu Ming had already exercised great restraint.

"Chunxue, stop her!"

Xu Ming coldly gave the order.

"This... Hi!"

Haruyuki Arita stepped forward with a helpless expression and helped Tamao Asagami move aside.

"I apologize for my rudeness, Madam Asagami."

You can't go in!

Even with Haruyuki Arita holding her back, Asagami Tamao remained restless, struggling wildly and trying to pounce on Xu Ming while shouting.

Xu Ming will not pity her this time.

Ultimately, Asagami Kōzō's escalating torment of Asagami Fujino was largely due to her tacit approval and evasive attitude.

Xu Ming ignored her and simply opened the door.

A musty, foul stench hit me.

This is a small bedroom, with a kotatsu (heated table) in the center of the room.

Xu Ming also noticed that one of the walls had a large area that had been repainted, and the color was very different from the adjacent wall.

Xu Ming walked over and used a crowbar to lift the stove.

A large, light red stain was revealed, and it looked like...

Xu Ming's expression immediately turned serious.

He slowly walked up to the wall that had been repainted.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ming raised the crowbar in his hand and began to chisel at the wall with the tip.

White plaster and cement fell like raindrops, and a faint dust quickly filled the air in the room.

Xu Ming remained unmoved. He covered his mouth and nose with one sleeve and continued chiseling at the wall with the other hand.

The newly painted wall was soft, and Xu Ming soon chiseled a large hole in it.

A corpse emerged from the wall.

Xu Ming remained silent, his lips pressed tightly together, and continued to carve.

Soon after, the body was fully revealed to him.

The body was highly decomposed, but some female features could still be identified, and she was wearing a nun-style school uniform from the Reiwon Girls' Academy.

Xu Ming was almost certain that the corpse sealed in the wall was Asagami Fujino!

"Ok?"

Xu Ming suddenly noticed that fog had risen in the room again without his knowledge, and soon a thick fog enveloped the entire room.

The mirage-like scene reappeared before Xu Ming's eyes.

Asagami Fujino, wearing the Reien school uniform, hurriedly pushed open the door.

Upon hearing at school that her mother was seriously ill, she rushed home in her family's car without even changing her clothes.

As soon as she pushed open the door, Asagami Fujino saw her mother lying on the tatami mat, covered with a thick quilt, her face pale.

"Mother!"

A rare look of anxiety appeared on Asagami Fujino's usually indifferent face. She rushed to Asagami Tamao's side.
