Why is my anime art style so weird?

Ding ding!

The eerie knocking sound intensified, and the frequency of the knocking increased dramatically.

A spark suddenly flashed in the darkness behind Xu Ming.

The next second, the acetylene mixed in the air was ignited, and a wave of fire surged forth!

Although Xu Ming reacted in advance, fire and water are merciless, and the fire wave quickly caught up with him.

Xu Ming quickly gripped the cross on his chest.

Armor of the Holy Word!

Golden light burst forth from the cross, instantly forming a suit of light armor on Xu Ming's body.

The next second, flames engulfed his entire body.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, Xu Ming vaguely heard countless pitiful cries, as if many people had been swallowed up by the flames.

Before he could figure it out, the fire wave came and went quickly, and soon dissipated.

A foul, burnt stench filled the air.

Xu Ming quickly covered his mouth and nose.

Ding ding!

The eerie knocking sound came again, growing more and more urgent and getting closer and closer to him.

With the knocking sound, the steel frame above Xu Ming's head began to shake continuously, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Xu Ming's expression changed instantly. He quickly left the steel frame and ran onto the empty ship's platform.

He had just left when the steel frame collapsed with a loud crash, and various steel structures clattered and fell, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Before Xu Ming could even feel relieved...

Another metallic scraping sound came from above.

Xu Ming quickly looked up.

Right above his head was a crane (a large crane mounted on top of the factory building).

And a large triangular steel structure was attached to the crane's hook by steel cables.

Without warning, the crane started moving, and the hook swung violently, throwing the steel structure down, which 'coincidentally' hit Xu Ming on the head.

Xu Ming quickly rolled over to a lazy donkey next to him.

boom!

He had just left the spot when the steel structure crashed heavily onto the ground.

The ground around them shook, and the dust they kicked up surged outwards like ocean waves.

When the dust settled, Xu Ming was disheveled and looked utterly wretched.

The spot where he used to stand has been smashed into a large crater by that steel structure.

Ding ding!

Before Xu Ming could even brush the dust off his clothes, the eerie knocking sound rang out again.

With the knocking sound, a large steel plate near Xu Ming suddenly shook and then collapsed directly in Xu Ming's direction.

Xu Ming could only run away with his face covered in dust.

He hadn't even run a few steps.

The cable, which had been cut off, suddenly came back to power. Then, the cable snapped and landed on the tracks with a snap! Bright blue-white current instantly surged across the rails.

Fortunately, Xu Ming heard the sound of the cable breaking and stopped in his tracks with great alertness.

Ding ding!

With a strange knocking sound, the screws on the scaffolding inexplicably came loose and collapsed toward Xu Ming.

Xu Ming could only drag his battered and bruised body forward.

He was about to rush out of the factory.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The banging seemed to be provoked, continuing incessantly, sending chills down the spine of the person banging.

Chapter 376 Ghost Ship

Just as Xu Ming was less than ten meters away from the exit, a section of the support structure next to him inexplicably broke off, and the section, weighing more than ten tons, roared down on Xu Ming's head.

With Xu Ming's speed, he absolutely cannot escape this time!

Boom!

With a loud bang, a section roughly the size of half a basketball court collapsed and crashed heavily to the ground.

The smoke and dust churned forward like a nuclear explosion, creating a shockwave.

After a while, a figure shimmering with golden light emerged from the dust.

Xu Ming, covered in dust, brushed the dirt off his clothes while glancing back at the factory behind him with lingering fear.

That was absolutely terrifying, it was like a real-life version of "Final Destination".

If he weren't 'invincible', he might really be in trouble this time.

This dock is truly fraught with danger.

Some people may think that shipbuilding is a respectable and technologically advanced job, but that is not the case.

In industrial production, the truly respectable job is sitting in the control room, operating the assembly line.

The shipbuilding industry is arduous and dangerous.

It's simply because it's a type of heavy industry, and heavy industry is never considered very safe.

How can a place be considered safe when it is surrounded by thousands of tons of steel, flammable gases everywhere, enclosed spaces, and other hidden dangers?

Being crushed by falling steel is commonplace, and occasional explosions can occur during painting operations.

Xu Ming had even seen the reports.

After using the acetylene cutting torch, a worker failed to pull the acetylene hose out of the cabin as required, resulting in an acetylene leak that filled the entire cabin. Subsequently, a welder accidentally ignited the acetylene, and the fire spread instantly, burning to death people in several nearby cabins.

Despite the increasing standardization of safety production with the progress of the times, safety accidents in heavy industrial production are still unavoidable.

Xu Ming looked at the factory behind him with a complicated expression.

Even without the typhoon, many people would have died in this factory.

If Xu Ming didn't have more important things to do, he might have patiently cleaned up the 'strange' things lurking in the factory.

After passing through the factory, Xu Ming finally arrived at the dock.

The dock was silent, with only an abandoned boat moored at the edge, bobbing up and down with the waves.

Most of the paint on the fishing boat had peeled off, leaving it covered in rust-colored spots. Oysters and moss grew abundantly near the waterline, giving it a distinctly Croatian feel.

The surface of the dock was also covered with moss, and one could easily slip and fall if not careful.

Xu Ming stood on the dark dock, quietly watching the sea.

The only sound was the whistling of the sea breeze.

The howling sound seemed to be mixed with faint screams of pain.

Ghostly figures loomed, and a chilling wind howled.

This dock truly lives up to its name as the place of the underworld.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Xu Ming picked up his phone and looked at it.

Just then, the numbers on the phone screen changed from 23:59 to 00:00.

Xu Ming's expression instantly turned serious.

He cautiously looked around.

Unbeknownst to us, fog had suddenly rolled in over the dock.

Thick fog enveloped the entire dock, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Xu Ming held his phone, gripped the crowbar tightly, and warily surveyed his surroundings.

The white mist churned and rolled, as if something was moving inside.

Woohoo!

A long whistle rang out from the depths of the fog.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow emerged from the mist and slowly approached the dock.

The thick fog suddenly billowed up, and a medium-sized fishing boat appeared in front of Xu Ming.

The paint on the surface of the boat was pitted and uneven, like a person with a skin disease. The part near the waterline was covered with all kinds of attachments, and there were many seaweed and other things that looked like yellow tentacles hanging on the railings of the boat, which looked disgusting.

The entire ship looked as if it had just been salvaged from the bottom of the water.

Even more strangely, the ship made no sound at all; it was completely silent, and you couldn't even hear the sound of the diesel engine.

How did this ship get here?

Before Xu Ming could figure it out, the fishing boat gently docked at the pier and then stopped moving.

Is this what is meant by the 'ship to the other shore'?

It looks like a ghost ship!

Xu Ming's eyebrows furrowed as he carefully examined the fishing boat.

He waited for a while, but the fishing boat remained quiet and made no sound.

'Are they waiting for me to board the ship?'

Xu Ming thought to himself, and carefully walked to the dock, approaching the fishing boat.

There was a rope ladder hanging down from the side of the bow.
