Why is my anime art style so weird?

This 'strange' ability is truly bizarre.

It looks exactly like a safe zone or fountain in a game.

However, it can both purify the demonic energy within the body and allow one to enjoy delicious food.

Xu Ming has to give a thumbs up to this approach.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to remind you of."

To avoid provoking the Nine-Tailed Fox's true form, Ming should avoid summoning his shikigami unless absolutely necessary.

As Kato Megumi spoke, she inadvertently glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was clinging to Xu Ming's arm. It was obvious who her target was.

"The higher the level of the shikigami, the more easily the aura it releases during battle will stimulate the nine-tailed fox."

Kato Megumi said in a very serious tone.

"Ah, this..."

Even Xu Ming could see that Kato Megumi was targeting his older sister, but her explanation was so reasonable and convincing that it was hard to believe.

This is a blatant, overt conspiracy.

Xu Ming looked troubled and cautiously glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glared angrily at Kato Megumi.

Regardless of whether what Kato Megumi said was true or not, Kasumigaoka Utaha believed that Kato Megumi was targeting her.

Kato Megumi met her gaze with a calm expression.

"Humph!"

After a brief standoff, Kasumigaoka Utaha, unwilling to put Xu Ming in a difficult position, snorted coldly and released Xu Ming's arm.

Xu Ming secretly rejoiced.

Being stuck in the middle is so uncomfortable.

suddenly!

Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed Xu Ming's face and turned it towards her, then looked at Kato Megumi and kissed him hard on the lips.

Boo!

Kasumigaoka Utaha even deliberately made a loud noise, then gave Kato Megumi a very arrogant look before disappearing into the shadow behind Xu Ming.

"..."

Xu Ming suddenly felt that the atmosphere between him and Kato Megumi had become strange.

After a while, Kato Megumi said something with a calm expression.

"If you're ready, then let's go."

After saying that, he turned and walked away in the direction of the ninja academy without looking back.

Xu Ming touched his nose.

Is she... angry?

Xu Ming shook his head and quickly caught up with Kato Megumi.

The two then began playing a stealth game on the streets of Konoha Village.

It took them a full twenty minutes to arrive at the ninja school.

A not-so-high wall separates the school from the surrounding buildings, and a large iron gate with a fence opens on the side of the teaching building.

In front of the teaching building is a small playground, with sandpits, swings, seesaws and other play equipment for children in the corners.

The teaching building, located in the very center of the school, is a simple three-story building.

The school's large iron gate was locked. Xu Ming walked over, gently pried it open with a crowbar, and then entered the special school with Kato Megumi.

The playground was completely exposed, and Xu Ming immediately saw more than a dozen small, mummified corpses scattered on the soccer field, with a deflated soccer ball lying quietly next to them.

Seeing this, Xu Ming could even imagine what had happened.

Students were happily playing soccer on the playground when disaster struck in the blink of an eye. One second the students were lively and energetic, and the next they collapsed to the ground and lost their lives.

Xu Ming shook his head and followed Kato Megumi straight towards the teaching building.

Shortly after they entered the teaching building.

The school gates closed silently.

The swing in the corner of the playground suddenly started swaying, making creaking sounds.

The seesaw began to swing up and down, as if two invisible people were sitting on it.

A gust of wind blew by, and the sand in the sandpit flew up, creating a thin yellow veil in the vicinity.

The deflated ball suddenly began to roll erratically on the ground, as if someone were chasing and fighting over it.

Everything seemed the same as usual, except there was no one on the playground, or rather, no living people...

Xu Ming and Kato Megumi forcefully pushed open the almost rusted double doors of the teaching building.

Click!

The glass shards from the door were scattered on the floor behind it. Xu Ming accidentally stepped on one, and the jarring sound immediately echoed throughout the teaching building.

Fortunately, he was wearing hiking shoes for convenience, so he was not injured.

whee!

Just then, the faint sound of children's laughter suddenly came from afar.

Xu Ming was startled and immediately shone his flashlight over.

At the end of the corridor, several short figures, only half his height, vanished in a flash!

Xu Ming's expression immediately turned serious.

There really are vengeful spirits haunting the school!

"Xiao Hui".

Xu Ming whispered a reminder.

Kato Megumi nodded, and with some lingering concern, warned:

“I saw it.”

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox's clones are very perceptive; even if they hide inside a building, they will still be discovered if they make too much noise.

So if you need to take action, please keep it as quiet as possible and be as quick as possible.

"I know."

Xu Ming nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.

Then, Kato Megumi led Xu Ming up the stairs in the courtyard to a large classroom on the third floor.

This large classroom faces the stairs and is quite spacious; it appears to be a music and dance studio.

In one corner of the classroom, there was a piano, and a mummified corpse lay slumped on it.

In the very center of the classroom was a strange ball of light, constantly emitting an earthy yellow glow, which conveyed a sense of earthy solidity.

Several strings of mysterious golden characters, like halos, continuously swirled around the yellowish-brown light.

However, the surface of this ball of light seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy dust, making its luster appear very dim.

Around the ball of light, strange, earthy-yellow human-shaped marks were imprinted on the classroom floor.

These humanoid traces are about the size of a child. They are arranged in a circle with their heads facing inward and their feet facing outward, centered on the ball of light. Their posture looks very abnormal.

Xu Ming cautiously surveyed everything in the classroom.

He always felt there was an eerie atmosphere here.

What are these?

Xu Ming suddenly pointed to the child-shaped mark on the ground and looked at Kato Megumi.

After a moment of silence, Kato Megumi said calmly:

"It was a sacrifice used to release Yin-Yang magic and establish the array's core back then."

Xu Ming stared at her in astonishment.

"What!?"

"Back then, the Exorcists Association sacrificed many lives to temporarily trap the Nine-Tailed Fox."

The nine-tailed fox will soon break free of its restraints, so a seal must be established in a very short time…

Chapter 426 Class 4, Grade 4

Xu Ming smiled slightly, then went directly to the room on the first floor that faced the room below.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a small figure dart into the classroom next door.

Fortunately, he was affected by the 'time stealing' effect and Xu Ming spotted him. Otherwise, Xu Ming might have had to check two or three classrooms nearby to catch the brat, which would have wasted a lot of time.

Xu Ming rushed to the next door and saw a sign hanging on the door that read: "Class 4, Grade 4".

That brat actually hid in a classroom.

Xu Ming was somewhat surprised, but he still used a crowbar to push open the slightly ajar classroom door.

Forty-three pairs of terrifying eyes instantly turned to look at him.

Xu Ming was shocked to find that there were forty-two primary school students sitting in the classroom, and a teacher standing on the podium.

Their faces were a deathly bluish-purple, and their eyes, devoid of pupils, were reduced to mere whites.

They stared at Xu Ming at the classroom door with blank expressions, their eyes unblinking.

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He quickly picked up his phone, pointed it at the classroom, and pressed the shutter button.

Click!

However, when the purple-gold light dissipated, Xu Ming's expression immediately darkened.
