Why is my anime art style so weird?

The monster slowly rose to its feet, as if in slow motion.

Xu Ming gave a strange smirk.

This guy was unlucky; he got caught in the trap right away.

Judging from his appearance, it seems that he was slowed down by 50%.

Moreover, the upgraded Physics Holy Sword is much more powerful.

A single normal attack deals four times the damage.

The monster had a clear, bar-like wound on its body.

This guy seemed to realize that Xu Ming was not someone to mess with.

It slowly got up and then fled into the woods at a pace even slower than Xu Ming's stroll.

Xu Ming watched its comical movements with amusement and raised the crowbar in his hand...

After a while, the ashes slowly dissipated.

Xu Ming clapped his hands, shone his flashlight, and continued walking forward.

"Ok?"

After turning another corner, a woman wearing a white dress, barefoot, and with disheveled hair stood on the other side of the road.

She lowered her head, her face completely hidden by her long hair.

Xu Ming was speechless.

It's late at night, and this woman looks suspicious.

However, this wasn't the reason that frustrated Xu Ming the most.

Rather, he felt he lacked prestige.

Without summoning shikigami, these 'strange' creatures from the mountains suddenly appeared one by one.

They didn't take him seriously at all!

As Xu Ming was lost in thought, the woman appeared in front of him as if by teleportation.

Her face, hidden by her jet-black hair, was facing Xu Ming, and a pair of lifeless eyes stared intently at him through the gaps in her hair.

Xu Ming expressionlessly took out his phone from his pocket, pointed the camera at the woman, and pressed the shutter button directly.

Click!

A burst of purple-gold light instantly illuminated the surrounding mountains and forests as if it were daytime.

The woman in white suddenly let out a shrill scream.

As the light faded, another pool of ashes drifted away into the distance, carried by the wind.

Xu Ming shook his head and muttered something under his breath.

"I didn't come here to find you, so why are you provoking me?"

Isn't it good to be alive...?

Xu Ming continued walking forward.

Perhaps the two instances of making an example of someone to deter others had an effect.

Although Xu Ming sensed something dark darting around in the nearby forest, it dared not appear in front of him.

An hour later, Xu Ming returned to the Five Hairpin Bends along the rugged mountain road.

A gust of wind blew in my face, and the chilling sensation seeped directly into my bones from the surface of my skin.

An eerie blackness permeated the air.

The closer you get to the third U-turn where the accident occurred, the more pronounced this feeling becomes.

Chapter 415 I, Xu Ming, am a law-abiding and good citizen.

Xu Ming dared not be careless anymore.

While communicating with the shikigami in the Hyakki Yagyōshō to make them prepare in advance, he secretly took out his phone.

suddenly!

Xu Ming heard the roar of an engine coming from afar.

At this point, there are still cars daring to go up the mountain?

Xu Ming looked in the direction from which the sound came with some surprise.

A moment later, a red sports car drifted out from the bend and drove towards Xu Ming.

Wait, something seems off about this car?!

Xu Ming stared intently at the sports car, his eyes filled with suspicion.

The red sports car crashed straight into the guardrail at the third U-turn.

Duang!

He crashed through the guardrail and flew off the cliff!

Xu Ming rushed to the edge of the cliff to take a look, but there was nothing there at all.

There was no fire, no wreckage.

That red sports car seemed to have vanished into thin air.

It was pitch black below the cliff; you couldn't see anything.

Xu Ming activated his spiritual vision, and the resentment below the cliff grew even stronger.

The black, negative energy almost completely occupied the valley below, as if forming a black lake.

Xu Ming still didn't understand what was going on.

Then came the sound of an engine.

A dark blue sports car sped through the second U-turn.

Looking again, the guardrail that had been broken earlier had somehow been restored.

Xu Ming sensed something and quickly stepped aside.

Sure enough, the blue sports car plunged off the cliff from the same spot again.

As the second sports car plunged off the cliff, the atmosphere near the third U-shaped bay grew increasingly eerie.

Many figures appeared silently in the forest opposite the cliff.

They hid in the darkness, whispering amongst themselves.

At first glance, it looks like a crowd of onlookers, but in the darkness, only some blurry shadows can be seen swaying with the branches.

Xu Ming picked up his phone and pointed it at the woods across the street.

After hesitating for a moment, he released his thumb from the shutter button.

He had a feeling that the person he was waiting for was arriving soon.

What if the phone's flash scares away the target? Then all our waiting today will have been for nothing.

Just then, a third sports car appeared.

It was a black sports car, which flew off the cliff in the same way from the third U-turn.

The surroundings grew colder and colder, and a chilling feeling spread from the soles of my feet throughout my body, as if I were immersing myself in cold water.

Then came the fourth, the fifth...

Xu Ming stood aside, coldly watching as one after another, trendy or expensive sports cars crashed through the guardrail and plunged off the cliff.

With each car that fell off the cliff, the atmosphere in the vicinity became a little more eerie.

Later, it even affected the entire Mount Akina.

The nearby streetlights first flickered, as if there was a poor connection, and then starting from the third U-turn, the streetlights gradually went out.

By the time the tenth car crashed, the entire Akina mountain was completely plunged into darkness.

Only sports cars, headlights on, approached from afar and hurtled down the cliff.

Xu Ming stared thoughtfully at the restored railing.

These are probably the vehicles that fell off the cliff here.

Within just one year, more than ten cars have plunged off the cliff at the same location, no wonder even the most audacious street racers dare not come here anymore.

As Xu Ming was thinking, the thirteenth vehicle soon plunged off the cliff.

Just then!

Two pale hands suddenly emerged from the darkness and rested on Xu Ming's shoulders.

Xu Ming was startled and quickly covered the cross on his chest. Then he turned around and swung a crowbar at it hard.

Before he could even see what the thing behind him looked like, it had already been smashed to ashes by him with a single blow.

Xu Ming glanced coldly at the slowly dissipating ashes.

This idiot almost ruined everything!

Fortunately.

The temperature of the cross on my chest began to slowly decrease.

Fortunately, he killed the idiot before the cross was triggered. Otherwise, the golden light from the cross might have scared the target away.

Sigh, it's so hard for him to catch a ride...

With this idiot as an example, everything in the nearby darkness avoided Xu Ming's location as if it were a plague.

Xu Ming immediately felt the temperature around him rise again, and the air became much fresher.

Just then, a small car with panda-colored headlights, without any lights on, silently appeared.

Xu Ming's expression turned serious, and he thought to himself.

coming!
