Why is my anime art style so weird?

However, Xu Ming's expression did not change much.

"How cold you are, senpai."

Misaki Shokuhou pouted, feigning displeasure.

Xu Ming suddenly laughed and looked at her meaningfully.

"I thought you liked Misaka Mikoto, but it turns out I was wrong."

Xu Ming's words were startling, and Misaki Shokuhou's face suddenly stiffened.

"How could this be..."

Xu Ming shrugged.

"You don't need to deny it, I'm not blind."

People reveal their truest emotions at the most crucial moments.

That night, your unusual concern for Misaka Mikoto wasn't feigned.

Misaki Shokuhou looked at Xu Ming with a surprised expression, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"Did you also study psychology?"

Xu Ming shook his head.

"No, I've just seen a lot of people and things."

Misaki Shokuhou sighed, and a scene from a few years ago involuntarily appeared in her mind: that petite and slender figure who stood up to protect her from a group of delinquents, a figure that made her feel incredibly safe.

"Okay, I admit it, I do have some feelings for Misaka-san..."

A look of 'I knew it' flashed in Xu Ming's eyes.

"You often provoke him, and it turns out it's because..."

Misaki Shokuhou put a finger to her lips, closed one eye, and made a playful face.

"Some children have a crush on someone of the opposite sex but are too shy to express it. Isn't this how they attract the other person's attention?"

Xu Ming opened his mouth, but then hesitated and stopped.

You're a middle school girl with a huge bust and a figure better than a high school student, yet you're using an elementary school student as an example. That's not very appropriate.

And this is clearly a way to be destined to be single forever!

Of course, Xu Ming didn't say these words aloud.

In this strange atmosphere, the two walked out of the stadium and went their separate ways.

------

In the darkness, the solid wood round table was suddenly slapped heavily.

Bah!

"This is outrageous! Our plans have been ruined by that brat time and time again!"

He actually came to our door and killed the 'Professor,' completely ruining the 'artificial Thor' project!

Our secret research facility, which we painstakingly built up without the knowledge of those hounds, has also been destroyed!

The 'leader' wearing a demon mask banged on the table in a fit of anger.

The other members of the Dark Alliance immediately fell silent.

After venting his frustrations, the alliance leader asked in a deep voice:

"Are all the other outposts hidden?"

"Alliance Leader, please rest assured, everything has been arranged and there will be no problems."

Someone answered immediately.

"Hmph! That's for the best!"

The alliance leader snorted coldly, his words seemingly indicating a lack of trust.

Then he looked at the woman wearing a fox mask to the side.

"What do you think of Tsukuyomi's fate?"

Tsukuyomi was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"The rat seemed to have been pestering the professor for a while, asking him to build equipment for him."

The rat died on Monster Mountain. I suspect Xu Ming might find clues about the professor on the rat…

"A good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth!"

The alliance leader complained angrily.

The leader of the alliance has set a rule that prohibits interference with private communications between members of the Dark Alliance. However, there is one condition: if a member is on an important mission, other members must not harass them without authorization, nor may they disclose important information such as their location.

The mouse, acting out of self-interest, clearly violated the rules.

Normally, the alliance leader would turn a blind eye to such trivial matters, but this time something unexpected happened.

Tsukuyomi seemed oblivious to the leader's furious expression.

"So I left some interesting materials with the professor."

"What information?"

"Regarding the clues about the 'Twin Curse,' I believe that the young man will definitely follow the clues to find that place."

Tsukuyomi said calmly, as if she didn't care at all about revealing the Dark Alliance's important secret without permission.

"Tsukuyomi, you...you actually leaked such an important secret to the enemy!?"

The leader behind the demon mask widened his eyes and stared intently at the woman wearing a fox mask sitting to his right.

He clenched his fists instinctively, his killing intent almost undisguised, as if he would kill this audacious woman on the spot at any moment.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became strange.

The other members didn't dare to utter a sound, all bowing their heads and acting like statues.

Despite the leader's overwhelming killing intent, Tsukuyomi's voice remained calm and unaffected.

"Does the Alliance Leader want to live in constant fear, guarding against this guy causing trouble and ruining our plans again, or would you rather eliminate him once and for all?"

The alliance leader couldn't help but frown.

"Tsukuyomi, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"We have been working and setting up on that island for many years in order to complete the 'Twin Curse'."

If I had to choose a completely safe place to kill Xu Ming, I would choose that island.

This time, we've gathered all available members and are going all out to kill Xu Ming on that island!

The Tsukuyomi no Michiru (天读命) resonates powerfully.

The alliance leader, who had been so aggressive just moments before, now hesitated.

"But what if the Holy Church finds out..."

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes behind the fox mask.

When undertaking great tasks, one should cherish one's life; when faced with petty gains, one should forget righteousness.

How can such a person be considered a wise leader?

Tsukuyomi quickly concealed her emotions and began to offer him advice.

"That island is isolated overseas, making it difficult for Shintoism to gain influence there."

As for the Church of Christ... we can simply blame it on Shintoism.

The relationship between the Church of Christ and Shintoism is currently tense. The Church of Christ has long wanted to deal with Shintoism, but it just needs a suitable pretext.

We'll give the church this excuse!

Tsukuyomi's voice was clearly crisp, but to the other members, it sounded like the whistling and buzzing of sharp swords.

They instinctively lowered their heads even further.

The leader hesitated for a long time, then clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table.

"Alright! We'll do as you say. This time, we'll concentrate all our forces and eliminate that troublesome guy!"

"As you wish."

Chapter 363: Xueno is shocked

In a daze, Yukino Yukinoshita awoke from her sleep.

pat!

The book I was holding was accidentally knocked off the desk.

Just then, the sun cast its last rays.

In the activity room of the Service Society, the orange-red setting sun, like the receding tide, slowly retreated and disappeared outside the window.

The activity room gradually darkened.

Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her throbbing temples.

She was quietly reading in the activity room when she inexplicably fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that it was already dark.

Yukino Yukinoshita casually picked up the book from the ground, stuffed it into her schoolbag, and then slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked outside.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had just woken up, didn't seem to be fully awake yet, and she didn't notice anything unusual.

Why would she, who is usually very self-disciplined, suddenly fall asleep and sleep until sunset?

In addition, after school, the teachers on duty will usually patrol the school to prevent some students from loitering in the school without reason.

She didn't notice that the entire campus seemed more gloomy and desolate than usual, as if it had been abandoned for many years.

Whoosh!

Yukino Yukinoshita opened the door to the activity room.

The corridor was quiet, and the sound of the sliding door carried far, its faint echo seemingly reflected back from the darkness.
