Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming patted Misaka Mikoto on the shoulder.

Misaka Mikoto suddenly woke up.

Suddenly, Misaka Mikoto shuddered, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and cried out in surprise.

"That scream just now sounded like my classmate!!"

Five minutes ago.

Misaki Shokuhou felt increasingly uneasy as she walked further.

It was pitch black all around, with only the fluorescent sign in the corner emitting a faint glow.

The faint light that Xu Ming and his group had been emitting was now completely gone.

The surroundings were completely silent, as if everyone had disappeared and only she remained.

"Did I take the wrong turn?"

Misaki Shokuhou showed a hint of hesitation on her face.

She was about to turn back.

"Waaah!"

A faint sobbing sound could be heard from ahead; the sound seemed somewhat familiar.

Misaki Shokuhou hesitated for a moment before looking back, vaguely seeing the intersection in the distance.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and headed towards the direction from which the crying was coming.

The corridor is lined with doors.

Looking through the glass in the center of the door, you can see furniture such as a bed, a television, and a wardrobe.

There was also a nameplate on the door representing the owner's surname.

This corridor appears to be the researchers' living quarters.

Misaki Shokuhou followed the sound of crying and arrived at the door of one of the rooms.

Surprisingly, there was no nameplate on the door of this room, suggesting it was an empty, unclaimed room, and the door was wide open.

Misaki Shokuhou tiptoed inside.

In the dim light, she could vaguely see a petite figure crouching in the corner, sobbing softly.

Misaki Shokuhou instinctively felt something was amiss upon seeing this scene.

She instinctively wanted to leave, but that somewhat familiar figure made her stop in her tracks.

Misaki Shokuhou took her phone out of her bag, turned on the light on the back of the phone, and shone it on the figure.

A petite figure in white surgical scrubs was crouching in the corner, her back to her, and was crying softly.

The moment the light illuminated that small figure, Misaki Shokuhou's body trembled slightly, her pupils contracted sharply, and an extremely complex expression appeared on her face, which had always maintained a faint and aloof smile.

She walked over slowly and gently patted the petite figure on the back.

"what happened to you?"

Her voice was so soft that even she herself was a little surprised.

Just then, the petite figure stopped sobbing and slowly turned her head.

Her delicate face was as pale as a corpse, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from the hollows of her eyes, forming two scarlet streaks on her face.

Misaki Shokuhou's courage was instantly shattered.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head, and my scalp tingled and itched.

Fear, like an invisible hand, gripped her heart tightly.

"what!!"

Almost instinctively, Misaki Shokuhou let out a scream, turned around, and ran away.

Soon she was only a step or two away from the door.

Misaki Shokuhou felt a surge of relief.

However, this distance of less than a meter became an insurmountable barrier for her.

"Waaaaah~!"

The eerie crying sound pierced her eardrums and drilled into her brain like an electric drill.

Misaki Shokuhou, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped, standing still like a statue.

But the eerie crying sound was slowly approaching.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Misaki Shokuhou's back, and large drops of sweat rolled down her carefully styled hair.

Misaki Shokuhou's mind was perfectly clear, yet she was completely unable to feel the existence of her body, let alone control it to escape.

She soon realized that the crying had come up behind her.

Then she felt a chill creeping up her calves.

'That monster climbed onto me!?'

Misaki Shokuhou's expression instantly turned to one of utter terror.

Her body, however, was still unable to move freely.

She could only watch helplessly as the terrifying monster slowly crawled up her back and onto her body.

Soon, two small, icy hands slowly reached out from behind her neck.

Misaki Shokuhou noticed out of the corner of her eye that the fingers of these two hands were a strange bluish-purple color, the skin was covered with wrinkles, and the fingernails alone were nearly five centimeters long.

These cold, eerie little hands slowly moved from the back of her neck to the front, and then suddenly grabbed her neck!

Misaki Shokuhou suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe!

A terrifying chill instantly spread throughout her body, rendering her unable to move.

My body was craving oxygen, but my mouth felt frozen, and I couldn't breathe in a single drop.

The intense feeling of suffocation ravaged Misaki Shokuhou's body and mind.

Am I going to die? In a place like this?!

I clearly haven't...

call!

At this most critical moment, a faint whooshing sound came from the air.

Immediately afterwards, Misaki Shokuhou heard a scream from behind her, and the hands that were tightly gripping her neck suddenly loosened.

The long-awaited fresh air once again entered my lungs through my mouth and nose.

Misaki Shokuhou clutched her throat and gasped for breath, as if trying to make up for all the oxygen she had lost.

At this moment, her vision was blurry, and her face was sticky, she couldn't tell if it was tears or snot.

However, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't be bothered with any of that; she was preoccupied with only one thing.

That is breathing.

At this moment, the air, which was filled with a foul stench, became incredibly sweet to Misaki Shokuhou's mouth and nose.

If the students of Tokiwadai Girls' Academy were to see their usually impeccably made-up 'Queen' in such a disheveled state, they would probably be horrified.

Just as Misaki Shokuhou had finally caught her breath, she suddenly felt a strong dampness under her skirt.

Misaki Shokuhou's expression changed instantly.

She actually!?!

Fortunately, it was very dark there, so no one could see her predicament or the water stains on her dress.

"What are you doing here!?"

Are you following me?!

When Misaka Mikoto peeked out from behind Xu Ming and saw the voluptuous body that she found utterly repulsive, she immediately screamed.

Misaki Shokuhou's embarrassment vanished instantly, replaced by a faint smile on her delicate and beautiful face, as if she had changed her expression.

She stood up gracefully, looked at Misaka Mikoto behind Xu Ming, and once again put on a queen-like calm smile.

"Oh my~ Isn't this Misaka-san?"

She glanced at Xu Ming beside her, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing an expression that said, "I know everything," and teased him:

"Misaka-san has such a romantic flair~"

They actually chose this time and place for their date!

Chapter 356 The Mad Scientist

Misaka Mikoto was mortified by Shokuhou Misaki's sarcastic remarks, her face turning bright red, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.

"Who's on a date! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!"

Misaki Shokuhou waved her hand dismissively.

"Hi~ Hi~ I got it. Misaka-san didn't go to the abandoned research institute to go on a date with someone late at night."

"You have no idea!"

Misaka Mikoto shouted in exasperation.

Just then, a monster rushed in from outside the door and pounced on Misaka Mikoto!

Just then, everyone squeezed into the small room. Xu Ming was standing at the back, with Misaka Mikoto behind him. He was the last to enter the room.

Furthermore, since everyone's attention was focused on Misaki Shokuhou in front, they had no idea that a monster would launch a sneak attack from behind.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

"what!"

Misaka Mikoto only had time to let out a scream before she was dragged out of the room.

Xu Ming's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly chased after him.
