Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming looked back and saw that all the children who had run away had silently returned and were standing on the other side of the classroom. The teacher had also blended in among the children.

Five pale faces and five pairs of eerie, pupil-less eyes stared intently at him.

Xu Ming took a deep breath, then quickly turned his back and started shouting.

"One, two, three, freeze!"

He speaks incredibly fast, giving you absolutely no time to react!

After reading it, Xu Ming immediately turned around.

Five figures, one large and four small, stood there like statues.

Xu Ming couldn't help but frown.

They were moving so fast that in just one or two seconds they had already covered nearly a quarter of the distance.

Given Xu Ming's speaking speed, they would only need four or five rounds to get behind him.

We need to think of a solution.

Xu Ming thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Ming suddenly remembered a scene from earlier.

So he immediately picked up his phone, pointed it at the five of them, and pressed the shutter button.

Click!

As soon as the purple-gold light appeared, Xu Ming left the wall and pounced on the five of them!

Indeed, although it had been previously confirmed that the exorcising light emitted by the phone could not harm them, Xu Ming noticed that the teacher clearly made the subconscious action of covering his eyes when encountering strong light.

It is clear that the exorcising light did not have no effect on them.

Xu Ming immediately seized this brief opportunity to try and catch one or two guys.

Sure enough, as the purple-gold light gradually faded, Xu Ming had already run to the middle of the classroom. The five of them were still instinctively covering their faces and standing still.

When Xu Ming was only five or six meters away from them, they came to their senses and scattered like birds and beasts.

Some drilled through the walls, others jumped out of the windows...

One of the chubby boys with a round face seemed to react a little slowly, and stood there stunned for a moment. Xu Ming immediately reached out to grab him.

The chubby boy let out a strange cry and, with a whoosh, escaped from the classroom through the front door at a speed completely disproportionate to his size.

Xu Ming sighed inwardly at the pity and hurriedly chased after him. He saw the chubby boy running wildly down the corridor, just like the head teacher was chasing after him.

Finally, Xu Ming watched as he disappeared into a room at the end of the corridor.

Xu Ming immediately ran over and arrived at the end of the corridor, only to find that the chubby boy had actually sneaked into a women's restroom!

This chubby kid has a past... something's really wrong!

The toilet door was ajar, the outer skin of which was peeling off, exposing the wood core inside, which was moldy and blackened, looking like rotting internal organs.

Xu Ming used a crowbar to pry open the toilet door, and a foul smell hit him. It was a mixture of mold, urine, and a bunch of rotten junk that had been fermenting in a jar for who knows how many years.

Xu Ming quickly covered his mouth and nose with one hand, afraid that he would vomit.

The toilet inside was just as filthy and chaotic as the one outside.

Large sections of the wall tiles have fallen off, leaving only empty holes that form various strange patterns.

Stagnant water, broken tiles, footprints, fallen leaves drifting in from the window... the toilet floor was almost completely covered with all sorts of garbage and stains, making it nearly impossible to find a place to step.

The paint on the partition had aged and peeled off, and strangely shaped bumps had grown on it, like a bizarre skin disease.

Add to that the filthy and messy environment of the toilet, and it looked absolutely disgusting.

Clang!

Before Xu Ming could even enter, a strange noise suddenly came from inside the restroom, as if someone had locked the stall door.

Xu Ming immediately suppressed his nausea and rushed inside.

At a glance, there are five stalls in the toilet, all with their doors closed.

Xu Ming observed carefully for a while and found that he couldn't tell which cubicle the chubby-faced boy had hidden in, so he used a crowbar to pry open the door of a cubicle.

Roar!

A mummified corpse, entirely dark green and emitting a strong stench, suddenly lunged at Xu Ming from the cubicle.

Xu Ming was startled and casually swung a stick at him.

Bah!

The mummified corpse immediately crashed into the cubicle at an even faster speed, and quickly turned to ashes.

Just then, the stall door suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang! Then the entire toilet went blurry and shook, like a rapidly spinning video.

Xu Ming instinctively gripped the cross on his chest, warily surveying his surroundings.

After a while, the noise gradually stopped, and the toilet returned to normal.

Xu Ming carefully used the crowbar to push open the door of the cubicle in front of him again, and suddenly his pupils contracted sharply.

gone!

The ashes that were just mentioned have disappeared.

No, it should be said that this is not the cubicle he just opened.

Although he only glanced at it and the memory wasn't very clear, he still remembered the general shape of the yellowish water stains on the partition tiles.

The shapes of these water stains are clearly different from before.

Xu Ming immediately had a guess in his mind.

He slowly retracted the crowbar that was propping up the door.

Sure enough, the cubicle door closed automatically again, and then the surrounding scenery began to rotate once more.

After the commotion subsided, Xu Ming pushed open the door to the cubicle again. This time, inside was a desiccated corpse that had turned grayish-white and was covered in cobwebs.

Having read this far, Xu Ming had a general understanding.

The teacher and the four students were actually a single entity, a "strange" entity called "One Two Three, Wooden Man," similar to the "Ichiraku Ramen" they had visited before.

After catching one of them, you must also solve their mini-game to successfully complete the level.

They symbolize the mini-bosses in each level of the game.

The little game in front of him was obviously very simple: he had to guess which cubicle the chubby-faced boy was in.

Every time he guesses wrong, the order of the cubicles is disrupted.

This is a little game that relies on luck.

However, there is also a clumsy method...

So Xu Ming then started using a clumsy method: repeatedly opening and closing the door to the cubicle in front of him.

It's just like a gacha game. Even if the odds of winning are only 0.01%, as long as you try enough times, you're guaranteed to win.

Of course, there's a prerequisite: your wallet has to be able to handle it.

The same applies to the little game in front of Xu Ming.

Behind the cubicle door, not only was his target hidden, but also various dangerous and eerie things.

Fortunately, Xu Ming's strength is now vastly different from before; he can eliminate one enemy after another, and two enemies after two.

However, if an ordinary person were here, they would probably have to gamble their life with a one-in-five chance.

Chapter 409 An Ironic Way of Dying

Xu Ming opened the cubicle door six or seven times before finally finding his target.

With a one in five chance, it took seven tries to win.

If he were to play a gacha game, the chief would surely be more than happy to take him back to Africa to inherit the chieftainship of the tribe.

Xu Ming shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and began to carefully examine the cubicle in front of him.

This cubicle appears to be a storage room used by cleaning staff to store cleaning supplies; it was crammed full of brooms, mops, buckets, and cleaning agents.

On top of these piled-up cleaning tools lay the mummified remains of a young child.

He held a ball of light radiating an earthy yellow glow in his palm.

The moment Xu Ming saw the ball of light, a thought flashed through his mind.

This is the 'essence of earth' he was looking for.

Xu Ming did not immediately take it, but instead very cautiously took a picture of the mummified corpse with his phone.

Click!

A dazzling purple-gold light instantly filled the entire cubicle and even spread throughout the restroom.

The surrounding eerie atmosphere was immediately dispelled.

Xu Ming then abandoned his concerns and reached out to grab the 'Essence of Earth' from the dried corpse's hand.

The moment his fingers touched the 'Essence of Earth', he immediately felt a strange, heavy sensation of the earth travel up his fingertips.

Just as he was about to take the 'Essence of Earth' from the mummified corpse.

The mummified corpse suddenly opened its eyes and grabbed his wrist.

"Got you, you blockhead."

His voice was hoarse, as if two dry wooden planks were rubbing together.

Xu Ming was startled and swung a crowbar at the mummified corpse's head.

Bah!

The damage was four times that of a normal attack, and the corpse's head exploded instantly, then turned to ashes.

Xu Ming frowned as he watched the mummified corpse slowly turn to ashes.

Even after you're dead, you're still thinking about that game...

What a terrifying obsession.
