Why is my anime art style so weird?

Yukino Yukinoshita turned and ran away.

The woman's cold voice echoed behind him.

"You can't escape...this is your destiny..."

As her voice rang out, wispy, gray gauze curtains began to billow out from every corner of the room.

These light veils seemed to have a life of their own, swarming towards Yukino beneath the snow.

Yukino Yukinoshita scrambled and crawled away to escape.

However, just as she turned a corner, the walking dead and vengeful spirits came rushing towards her.

Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Despair began to gnaw at her soul like a venomous snake.

brush!

A light veil suddenly surged from behind her, wrapping her limbs, torso, and head like a mummy.

"save……!"

Yukino Yukinoshita only managed to utter half a gasp before being dragged back into the room by the light gauze.

Wow!

Then the door slammed shut, and the entire shrine fell silent once more…

After listening to Yukino Yukinoshita's story, Xu Ming frowned.

"Where is that shrine? Take me there immediately!"

Yukino Yukinoshita said somewhat incoherently:

"I'm coming to your house right away!"

Less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, Yukino Yukinoshita informed Xu Ming that she had arrived at Xu Ming's building.

Xu Ming went downstairs and as soon as he stepped out of the apartment, he saw Yukinoshita Haruno pacing back and forth anxiously.

Upon seeing Xu Ming walk out of the apartment, Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes lit up.

He quickly walked over to greet them.

"Mr. Xu Ming!"

Xu Ming nodded.

"We'll talk about it in the car."

The two got into the Cadillac, which started immediately and sped away from the apartment...

"You mean, your mother might know some secrets and warned you that there might be danger?"

Xu Ming's brows furrowed even deeper.

This matter seems to be much more complicated than he imagined.

Yukinoshita nodded.

"After I discovered that Yukino was missing, I searched the neighborhood for a long time, and then I called the police and asked them to search the nearby security cameras."

It turned out that Yukino had entered an abandoned shrine and hadn't come out since.

The police sent people up to search, but all they found was a pile of ruins...

Xu Ming gave her a meaningful look.

These long-established families are indeed very powerful.

Logically speaking, even if a report is filed within 24 hours, the Metropolitan Police Department might not accept it.

As a result, the Metropolitan Police Department not only accepted the case, but also mobilized a large number of police officers to search through CCTV cameras.

What is a capitalist? (Leans back tactically)

Chapter 369 Eternal Curse: The Tragedy of the Twins

However, none of this concerns Xu Ming.

He's concerned with something else now.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Ming spoke:

"Take me to the shrine first. If you can find your sister there, that would be great. If not... you'll probably have to take me back to see your mother and see what secrets she knows."

"I see."

Yukinoshita nodded with a worried expression.

With her younger sister Yukino missing, Yukinoshita Haruno is now completely distraught and almost always grants Xu Ming's every request.

She seemed unaware of any ambiguity in their earlier conversation.

For example, meeting the parents or something...

At that moment, both of them were preoccupied with other things and didn't pay any attention to these details.

About half an hour later, the Cadillac pulled over to the side of the road.

Yukinoshita pointed to a stone staircase leading up a small hill on the street and exclaimed:

"That's the road! There's an abandoned shrine at the top!"

Xu Ming followed the path upwards, taking in the swaying bamboo grove and the dark red torii gate.

Yukinoshita got off the train.

Xu Ming immediately waved his hand to stop her.

"I'll go up alone, so don't come up with me and cause me trouble."

"But……"

Yukinoshita Haruno looked anxious, hesitant to speak.

"Miss, you should listen to Mr. Xu Ming."

"There's no use in being anxious; let the professionals handle it."

The butler, who had been sitting silently in the driver's seat, also joined in the persuasion.

"I...I understand."

Yukinoshita got into the car with a dejected look on her face.

Xu Minggang was about to walk up the path.

Yukinoshita rolled down the car window again, looking at him with a pleading expression.

"Mr. Xu Ming, I'm entrusting my sister... Yukino, to you!"

Xu Ming nodded with a very serious expression.

"Leave it to me."

After saying that, Xu Ming turned around and walked up the steps along the path.

Watching Xu Ming's receding figure, a resolute glint flashed in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes. She took a deep breath and then picked up her phone to make a call.

"Mother, it's me..."

On the other side, Xu Ming quickly arrived at the torii gate.

As soon as he stepped through this unremarkable gate, Xu Ming instantly felt as if he had entered another world.

Ding!

—You have entered the 'Starry Shrine' and the quest 'Eternal Curse: The Tragedy of the Twins (Four-Star, Tentative)' has been automatically activated.

Xu Ming immediately summoned all his shikigami.

Only after being surrounded by a group of shikigami did he feel a slight sense of security.

Then he looked at the wedding ring on his finger and sighed softly.

It's a pity that my older sister is still asleep, otherwise this game would be a sure win.

However, since even someone with my sister's soul level needs to sleep for such a long time, she must be even stronger and invincible when she wakes up.

I'm actually a little excited about it.

suddenly!

A strange roar came from above, followed by several zombie-like figures surrounding them.

Xu Ming quickly snapped out of his reverie and began calmly directing his shikigami to fight back.

Fireballs and invisible fluctuations danced in the air for a moment. In less than fifteen seconds, Xu Ming didn't even lift his hand, and the walking corpses were completely wiped out.

Xu Ming waved and led the group of shikigami to continue upwards.

The group of people soon set foot on the shrine grounds.

A desolate and lonely shrine suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

A chilly wind, carrying an eerie atmosphere, swept over us.

Xu Ming frowned as he looked at the shrine in front of him.

Even someone without any supernatural abilities could see the strangeness of this shrine.

Whoosh!

As Xu Ming was looking around the shrine, a sound of water being stirred suddenly came from the pool in the center of the shrine.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the tesujiya.

Suddenly, a woman dressed in white emerged from the pool.

The woman had disheveled hair, her face completely obscured by long strands, and water dripped continuously from her hair.

She stretched out her pale hands and slowly climbed out of the pool.

Looking at her, Xu Ming's face immediately showed a hint of amusement.

At this moment, the woman in white seemed to realize that something was wrong. She stopped climbing out of the pool and then slowly retreated back into it.
