Why is my anime art style so weird?

Abyss Curse - The cursed person will be weakened in all aspects (by 30%) and will suffer continuous damage.

(I look up at the light in the darkness.)

If 'Saintess's Prayer' is a super equipment that combines offense and defense, then 'Twin Souls' is the ultimate item most suitable for summoners.

'Twin Souls' may not be the strongest equipment he has, but it is the most suitable equipment for him at present.

Xu Ming was eagerly anticipating what terrifying attributes the 'Twin Souls' would develop when it was upgraded to a 7-star artifact.

"Are you blessing me, Seele?"

I will carry your share and live on...

Xu Ming silently put the 'Twin Souls of the Other Shore' on his left chest.

The crystal flower was pressed tightly against his heart, and it seemed as if one could clearly hear the beating of his heart.

In that instant, a subtle glimmer of light flashed across the black and white interwoven crystal flower...

St. Mary's Cathedral, Tokyo.

This cathedral was destroyed during the war and rebuilt afterward. Its appearance is not like a solemn and majestic church at all, but rather resembles a postmodern art building.

From the front, it looks like a crown shaped like the Chinese character for "mountain," but if you sit in a helicopter and look down from above, it appears to be the shape of a cross, which is quite peculiar.

The cathedral, which used to attract a large number of tourists.

But today it seemed that a very important person had come to the church. The area was surrounded by police, and a stretch Lincoln, guided by a tow truck, slowly drove up and stopped at the church entrance.

Then the car door opened, and a bishop dressed in a blood-red robe stepped out of the car and entered the church surrounded by a group of people.

Then, naturally, came the usual routine: speaking, shaking hands, socializing...

After dealing with Japanese politicians and celebrities and going through the motions, Cardinal Perodua finally had some free time.

He sat in the chair and beckoned to the servants.

“Bring Karen Aldasia here.”

"Yes, Your Excellency Cardinal."

The attendant left as ordered.

Soon after, Karen was brought before Bishop Perodua.

At this moment, Karen was dressed in a simple and austere black nun's gown with a silver cross on her chest, looking extremely solemn and dignified, completely unlike the unrestrained and carefree demeanor she displayed in front of Xu Ming.

"Your Excellency Cardinal."

Karen skillfully and perfectly drew the sign of the cross on her chest.

Bishop Perodua returned the greeting with the same Christian salutation, and then spoke.

“Sister Karen, I have summoned you here today not only to learn more about the details of the underground chapel in Liyuan, but also to inquire about that young man named Xu Ming.”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Karen answered meekly, and then told Bishop Perodua everything she knew.

Bishop Perodua made the sign of the cross on his chest once again.

"The long-standing problem that has plagued the Vatican for years has been solved, all thanks to the Lord, Amen!"

Karen quickly followed suit and drew the cross.

Bishop Perodua then said:

"Now you can talk about that young man named Xu Ming."

"Yes.

He was originally from China, but was later adopted by a Japanese couple…

Facing the Vatican's bigwigs, Karen dared not be negligent and immediately told Bishop Perodua all the detailed information she had found about Xu Ming, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

After her phone call with Bishop Perodua, she had a premonition and thus conducted a more detailed investigation into Xu Ming.

As he listened, Bishop Perodua unconsciously touched the golden cross on his chest, a thoughtful expression on his face, and muttered to himself.

“Not Japanese, an outer member of the Exorcist Association, powerful, and at odds with local forces... it is indeed necessary to win them over.”

Bishop Perodua slowly raised his head, looking at Karen with a kind smile.

“Sister Karen, I am very interested in him. May I invite him to see me?”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Please grant me three hours..."

Karen hurriedly answered, but seeing Bishop Perodua give her a dismissive glance, she quickly gritted her teeth and changed her answer:

"No! I will bring him to you within two hours!"

Chapter 296 The Cardinal's Audience

Xu Ming sat up in bed in a daze, shaking his groggy head.

Last night, he was worried that his older sister would use the traditional skill of a Japanese anime heroine: a night raid.

I was on tenterhooks all night, terrified that when I opened my eyes again, there would be someone naked under the covers...

Fortunately, his older sister didn't seem to be in such a hurry, which allowed him to escape a disaster.

However, he didn't sleep well all night. When he woke up in the morning, he had huge dark circles under his eyes and felt dizzy and disoriented. It took him twice as long as usual to finish washing up.

By this time, Erina had already prepared breakfast and laid it all out on the table, just waiting for him to enjoy it.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Xu Ming finally recovered.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xu Ming turned on the video doorbell, and Karen, dressed in a black nun's habit and looking very dignified and solemn, appeared on the small screen.

"Dr. Karen?"

Xu Ming was puzzled. Why would this woman with such a bad temper come looking for him, and how did she know his home address?

Karen smiled faintly through the screen.

“I have resigned from my position as the school doctor at Liyuan School, and I am now Sister Karen.”

"Young man, aren't you going to invite me in?"

Although this guy had a terrible personality, he had provided him with a lot of information, so the two could be considered to have a relationship. Xu Ming certainly couldn't refuse him, so he quickly opened the door and invited Karen into his home.

Xu Ming was leading the guests in when he looked up and saw his older sister, who had appeared at the dining table at some point, slowly savoring a cup of black tea.

Hearing the commotion, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around, smiled faintly at Kallen, and then deliberately showed off the diamond ring on her left ring finger.

Karen glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, then at Xu Ming, her gaze lingering on the diamond rings on their hands, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

She had thoroughly investigated Xu Ming's background beforehand, so she naturally knew who Kasumigaoka Utaha was to Xu Ming.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's assertion of sovereignty did not deter Kallen; instead, it further piqued her interest.

Love between a human and a ghost, forbidden love between sworn siblings, reverse rape... all sorts of suggestive terms came flooding out like a torrent.

These siblings are so funny!

Karen couldn't help but feel a sadistic pleasure rising within her, wanting to tease him thoroughly.

Xu Ming still hadn't figured out what his sister was doing.

I didn't see anyone this morning, but they suddenly appeared when guests arrived.

Karen casually placed her hand on Xu Ming's shoulder while leaning closer to him, making it seem as if the two were very close and familiar with each other.

"Young man, I'm so sorry to disturb your breakfast."

Although Kallen said that, her face showed no remorse. She even deliberately glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, her expression full of provocation.

click!

Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand holding the teacup visibly trembled, and the base of the cup slammed heavily onto the tray, making a jarring noise.

She said to Xu Ming with a forced smile:

"Honey, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him?"

Darling!? That's a really fast change of address...

Xu Ming was speechless, but he couldn't correct anything in front of outsiders. After all, the two of them were wearing the same wedding ring. Who would believe they weren't related?

So Xu Ming said with a helpless expression:

"And this is...?"

Before Xu Ming could even begin, Karen interrupted, saying:

“We met at Liyuan Women’s Academy. My name is Karen Aldesia, and I am the school doctor.”

As she spoke, a slight blush rose to her cheeks, and her expression became somewhat shy.

"I was alone in the infirmary when Xu Mingjun suddenly barged in, forcefully pushed me against the wall, and then..."

As Karen spoke, she shyly glanced at Xu Ming, her eyes practically turning into hearts, completely exuding an aura of someone Xu Ming had forcibly molded into someone unapproachable.

Xu Ming's face immediately darkened.

This woman with a terrible temper never lied from beginning to end, but she concealed the most crucial thing.

For example, after being pushed down, Xu Ming didn't actually do anything; he just pressed for information with a very forceful attitude.

But in Karen's words, the exciting details were so compelling they could be made into a doujinshi.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, and a large patch of black mist was faintly swirling behind her.

He certainly couldn't believe Karen's nonsense.

Doesn't she know what kind of personality her own brother has?

She secretly wished her younger brother were a lecherous man, so she could have taken him to home base long ago.

Unfortunately, her younger brother was too self-disciplined. She was almost on top of him, but he remained unmoved. She couldn't just let him do it himself.

He wouldn't even flirt with his own beautiful older sister throwing herself at him, so why would he go after you, some random wild woman?

Kasumigaoka Utaha was only annoyed by this woman's attitude.

She had already shown off her wedding ring, and this damn guy still dared to commit adultery in front of his wife. He simply didn't respect her at all!
