Why is my anime art style so weird?

So, just a second ago, Eizan Etsuya was swaggering around, but the next second, he turned into a pool of golden liquid and disappeared into the floor.

Eizan Etsuya just ran away like that?! And in such a bizarre way!

"Wow, that's fast!"

Haruyuki Arita exclaimed softly, though it was unclear what aspect he was marveling at.

Little did he know, Xu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

'That scared me to death! I finally managed to scare that guy away...'

That was incredibly dangerous.

Eizan Etsuya's illusion technique was incredibly skillful; Xu Ming was almost completely caught in it and nearly reached out to grab the box of money in a daze.

At the last moment, he suddenly felt a warmth in his chest.

His mind cleared instantly, and he broke free from Eizan Etsuya's illusion.

Ruishan Zhijin also resorted to underhanded tactics, and Xu Ming was not going to be polite to him, so he decisively struck him.

Xu Ming couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest.

Beneath his clothes was a barely noticeable bulge, the very amulet that Kato Megumi had given him.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Perverted Style

"Let's leave this room first."

This is Eizan Etsuya's office, which can be described as the lair of Eizan Etsuya's lair.

Who knows if it might contain some strange or unusual mechanisms.

Xu Ming decided to pretend to be determined to kill Eizan Etsuya, and at the same time, delay the phone's charging time.

The two walked out of the office.

At this moment, the entire fourth floor was fully revealed.

Marble floors covered in stains and dust, walls riddled with cracks, watermarks, and moss, overturned equipment, shattered windows…

Dust, mold, rot... all sorts of odors mixed together, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

Xu Ming and Haruyuki Arita hadn't gone far when suddenly, a strange noise came from the office next door.

Xu Ming subconsciously turned his head to look, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

The office was a mess, with documents scattered on the floor, computer screens either broken or covered in dust and cobwebs, and desks lying haphazardly.

The office, which was originally empty, is now packed with 'people'.

If these humanoid figures, composed entirely of black mist and wearing golden collars around their necks, can be called 'humans'...

"Xu, Xu Mingjun! There's a monster inside!"

Haruyuki Arita turned pale with fright.

Instead of showing up himself, Eizan Etsuya summoned monsters to attack them!

"Come on!"

Xu Ming shouted solemnly and began to run faster with Haruyuki Arita.

Just as they discovered the strange humanoid figure, the humanoid black mist in the office naturally 'saw' them as well.

Soon, humanoid black mists emerged from the office and chased after the two.

A dangerous chase has begun.

On the ceiling, unnoticed by anyone, a golden eye silently observes everything that happens in the corridor…

The two ran one after the other, but soon they widened the gap between them.

Xu Ming quickly turned around and loudly encouraged Arita Haruyuki.

"Go Arita-kun!"

"Wait, wait for me, Xu Mingjun. I... I can't run anymore..."

Before she had run even a few dozen meters, Haruyuki Arita was already panting heavily.

Xu Ming bit his lip, preparing to go back and help him.

Regardless of anything else, since Xu Ming has acknowledged Haruyuki Arita as his friend and agreed to let him come along, Xu Ming will do his best to get him out safely.

Just as Xu Ming was about to turn around...

Bah!

A door behind him burst open with a bang, and another group of humanoid black mist surged out from it.

The newly appeared humanoid black mist immediately split into two groups and surrounded Xu Ming and Haruyuki Arita respectively.

If Xu Ming turned back, he would be walking into a trap.

Damn it!

Xu Ming cursed angrily, then pointed to a side path and shouted at Haruyuki Arita, who was frozen in place in fear:

"Arita-kun! Run that way! We'll meet at the stairwell!"

"Hi!"

Haruyuki Arita seemed to wake from a dream and turned to run down the side road, while Xu Ming himself ran wildly forward along the original path.

The two were completely separated during the sudden attack by the humanoid black mist.

Another golden eye slowly disappeared from the ceiling...

"I can't shake them off!"

Xu Ming ran as fast as he could, but there were just too many humanoid black mists.

While running, Xu Ming glanced back and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Behind him, there were nearly thirty or forty humanoid black mists. This was only the part that was chasing Xu Ming. If you include the part that was chasing Haruyuki Arita, as well as the part that was scattered throughout the entire floor, the total number of humanoid black mists would probably be close to one hundred.

These humanoid black mists followed Xu Ming relentlessly, one after another.

Fortunately, these humanoid black mists were not moving fast, only at the speed of a normal person walking.

The real problem is their ever-increasing numbers and the places where they are appearing.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the door to a room in front of Xu Ming opened, and five or six humanoid black mists emerged and lunged at him.

Xu Ming, however, seemed to have been prepared. He suddenly quickened his pace and then slid past the nearest humanoid black mist by a hair's breadth.

The humanoid black mist reached out and grabbed at nothing but air.

Xu Ming ignored the dust on his body, stepped over it, and rushed forward quickly.

Xu Ming had encountered this scenario three or four times before.

These strange, humanoid black mists would suddenly emerge from any room, rush out of the door, and surround Xu Ming.

Moreover, the vast majority of the humanoid black mists appeared in the room in front of Xu Ming. Even when Xu Ming changed his route and turned onto a side road, the same thing happened.

The entire fourth floor seemed to have turned into a giant game map, and Eizan Etsuya, who had escaped earlier, became a GM, constantly spawning monsters in front of Xu Ming to block his progress.

This game is a terrible experience!

Fortunately, perhaps out of fear of the power of the spirit-capturing phone, Eizan Etsu did not appear in front of Xu Ming, taking the word 'sneaky' to the extreme.

'This can't go on...'

After dodging another surprise attack, Xu Ming became somewhat anxious.

The entire fourth floor is quite large, with many rooms and a rather complex layout, making it perfect for playing the "catch me and I'll make you laugh" game.

No matter how complex the terrain or how large the area, as long as the number of monsters continues to increase, it will eventually be trapped in a dead end.

Even if Xu Ming had safely reached the stairwell, he would still have been in danger.

Don't forget, there's a group of money-grubbing bastards waiting outside the stairwell on the third floor.

Xu Ming checked his phone; there was about a minute left before the next energy charge was complete.

We have to find a way to wipe them out in one fell swoop!

Then another door appeared ahead, with a sign that read "Publicity and Publicity Department".

If Xu Ming remembered correctly, this was one of the largest offices on the entire fourth floor, and it was also probably the place with the most humanoid black mist emanating from it.

This is it!

Xu Ming gritted his teeth, and an incredibly bold idea popped into his mind.

Suddenly, Xu Ming turned a corner and rushed into what was arguably the most dangerous office on the floor.

Scattered documents on the floor, an old desk, a computer screen covered in dust and cobwebs...

Compared to other offices, this one looked just as dilapidated.

The moment Xu Ming rushed into the office, a black mist, like oil, flowed out from the shadows under the desk, forming dark figures on the chair.

Then, the humanoid black mist sitting in the chair quickly stood up, turned around, and pounced on Xu Ming.

On the other side, the humanoid black mist that had been following Xu Ming also entered the office one after another.

In an instant, about fifty humanoid black mists crammed into the huge 300-square-meter office, and they kept pushing their way in, much like the elderly folks rushing to the supermarket to grab discounted eggs.

Chapter Forty-Five: Adventure and Temptation

Xu Ming walked onto its desk in front of a humanoid black mist.

The humanoid black mist seemed to be completely enraged by Xu Ming's actions, letting out a strange howl and reaching out to grab Xu Ming with both hands.

Xu Ming immediately jumped onto another desk.

And so, Xu Ming leaped back and forth between desks, filing cabinets and other furniture like a parkour performer.

The humanoid black mist is slow and weak; its only advantage is its large number.

However, in a complex environment like an office, these advantages are largely offset, while the disadvantages are magnified.

Later, more than sixty humanoid black mists crowded into the office, but they still couldn't catch Xu Ming, who was darting around on the desk.
