Why is my anime art style so weird?

Misaka Mikoto's face was still flushed with shyness. She covered her bottom and nodded slightly.

The group quickly left the locker room and headed into the building.

They soon arrived at a place that resembled a laboratory.

In the center of the laboratory stood a metal table, about the size of a hospital bed, with a shadowless lamp pointing directly at it.

On the metal table was a black bag about the size of a person.

Various sizes of scalpels, forceps, tweezers, and so on were displayed on a metal shelf to the side.

Next to the metal shelf was a metal sink, with a stained rubber glove draped over its rim.

On the right is a row of sophisticated instruments such as computers, analyzers, and monitoring devices.

On the left is a large freezer.

Seeing these furnishings, Xu Ming, who had seen similar rooms before, immediately understood what was going on.

Where is this place?

Misaka Mikoto peered curiously into the room.

A strange smile involuntarily appeared on Xu Ming's face.

"Dissection room".

He answered casually.

Misaka Mikoto's expression froze instantly, and her lips twitched.

"Don't joke around."

Xu Ming pointed to the metal platform.

"Look, isn't that an autopsy table? And that's a body bag on top of it. It looks like there's a corpse inside."

"Stop talking!"

Misaka Mikoto covered her ears and closed her eyes like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Xu Ming shrugged and stopped trying to scare her.

Judging from her expression, she probably wouldn't dare to enter this dissection room even if she were beaten to death.

Furthermore, the body bag was clearly deflated, so it might still contain a corpse. Even if it did, it would have been removed before the research institute closed down; it wouldn't have been left lying around unattended.

Xu Ming waved his hand and led the group to continue forward.

Not long after everyone left, Misaki Shokuhou appeared at the door of the dissection room.

Chapter 352 Underground Laboratory

"Silk!"

Misaki Shokuhou involuntarily crossed her arms over her chest and rubbed them incessantly. Because of her movements, the little rabbit jumped up and down, creating a spectacular scene.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the research institute was completely incompatible with lewd content.

From the moment Misaki Shokuhou entered this abandoned research institute, she felt a chill run through her body, as if she had suddenly entered an ice cellar.

It was pitch black all around. She was afraid that Xu Ming and the others ahead would notice her, and she didn't dare to turn on her phone's flashlight. She could only follow behind, stumbling along, by the faint light from Xu Ming and the others ahead.

She now somewhat regrets following Misaka Mikoto.

But now that she was deep inside the research institute building, she was in a difficult position and had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.

Seeing that everyone had gone far away, she quietly followed them.

Not long after Misaki Shokuhou left, the body bag on the dissection table slowly bulged, as if something had appeared out of nowhere inside.

Then the zipper was slowly pulled open...

Xu Ming, along with Misaka Mikoto and the shikigami, continued to delve deeper into the research institute.

Soon they arrived at a huge room.

The room was filled with electronic devices, and there were instruments such as an electron microscope on the table next to it.

Inside the room, there was even a sealed operating box with a robotic arm, containing various test tubes and petri dishes.

This should be the institute's laboratory.

However, Xu Ming also noticed some details. In the laboratory, which originally had high requirements for cleanliness, the floor and walls were actually splattered with a large amount of dark red stains that looked like blood.

The laboratory's glass door was also smashed to pieces.

Xu Ming couldn't help but think of the researcher who was dismembered in the locker room.

It's clear that some terrible, untold things happened at this research institute.

However, the laboratory is one of the places that must be searched.

When defining key areas for research institutes, laboratories must be included.

This is the area where you are most likely to find clues.

Therefore, Xu Ming searched very carefully, not only waving a flashlight around himself, but also having his shikigami search separately, hoping to find some clues.

It seemed that the place had been ransacked; even the medicines in the sealed box were gone, and the test tubes and petri dishes were empty.

Just as Xu Ming was desperately searching for clues.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Misaka Mikoto let out a scream.

When Misaka Mikoto entered the laboratory earlier, she hesitated and dared not come in.

Later, everyone came in, and she didn't dare to stay in the corridor alone, so she had to follow them in. However, she stood not far from the door and refused to go deep into the laboratory.

Now, however, something has startled her again.

Xu Ming turned his head and found Misaka Mikoto staring at the laboratory door with a look of horror on her face.

Xu Ming quickly went over.

"What did you see this time?"

Misaka Mikoto pointed tremblingly to the right side of the laboratory door.

"I just saw a foot there!"

"you sure?"

Xu Ming looked in the direction she pointed, but saw nothing.

Misaka Mikoto nodded vigorously.

"The foot was very small, it looked a bit like a child's, and it wasn't wearing shoes."

Xu Ming fell silent.

The description is so detailed that it's clear Misaka Mikoto wasn't hallucinating.

Unable to find any clues in the laboratory, Xu Ming hesitated for a moment before heading towards the laboratory door.

Outside the laboratory was a long corridor; they had just come from the left corridor.

Xu Ming had just arrived outside the laboratory when he saw a white shirt flash by in the right corridor and turn a corner.

Xu Ming was taken aback.

"Something's wrong! Everyone come quick!"

He quickly waved to gather the shikigami together, then pointed to the dark corridor on the right.

"Forget about the lab, let's start the search from here."

With that, he led everyone toward the corridor on the right.

Arriving at the corner where the white figure had disappeared, Xu Ming looked into the corner.

At the end of the corridor, the white figure flashed by and disappeared around another corner.

Xu Ming followed and then repeated the same actions over and over.

Xu Ming quickly realized that the white figure seemed to be leading them somewhere.

Regardless of whether the other party's intentions are good or bad, at least we have a clue.

Xu Ming was determined to continue.

A group of people followed behind Xu Ming, making their way through the research institute.

After an unknown amount of time, through many twists and turns, just as Xu Ming was becoming dizzy and disoriented, a large door, half-open, appeared before them.

The white figure that had led them there stood in front of the gate. Upon seeing Xu Ming and the others follow, it immediately disappeared inside the gate.

Xu Ming quickly led the group to the door.

He didn't rush in blindly, but carefully examined the gate and the surrounding area.

The door is about three meters square, similar to the mechanical door in Resident Evil.

The door panel is made of a single piece of high-strength alloy material that is several centimeters or even more than ten centimeters thick. It is heavy and sturdy, and the opening and closing is powered entirely by hydraulic machinery.

These metal mechanical doors are strong enough to withstand attacks from artillery shells, bombs, and even missiles.

With such a high level of security, what's behind the door is clearly more important than the laboratory they just searched.

At this moment, the metal gate was only half open, and just enough for two or three people to enter side by side.

A large patch of dark blood was scattered at the doorway, and the silver-white door panel was also splattered with blood, with scratch marks on the edges where something had cut into it.

It was pitch black inside the door, and a strange whistling sound came from the wind blowing out from within.

This gate is like the gaping maw of a monster, waiting to devour any prey that enters it.

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Ming waved to Haruyuki Arita and pointed inside the gate.

Haruyuki Arita seemed completely resigned to his fate, and before Xu Ming could speak, he walked into the metal door.

Xu Ming immediately called for everyone to follow.

After entering the gate, I discovered that there was a downward slope behind it.

The metal door actually leads underground!?
