Why is my anime art style so weird?

Page 362

The students in the classroom sat upright at their desks, while the teacher stood confidently on the podium, his forty-three pale eyes still fixed on Xu Ming.

The exorcising light seemed to have no effect on them.

Xu Ming knew that it wasn't that the exorcism light was ineffective against them, but rather that, under the protection of the rules, the exorcism light could not harm them.

Because they are also part of the 'strange'.

Xu Ming couldn't help but frown.

Is the game about finding out the little devil from among the forty-two elementary school students?

He began to carefully recall what the kid looked like.

Then he suddenly realized that his memories were becoming somewhat blurry.

What's going on? Is this also due to the influence of the 'strange'?

Xu Ming had no choice but to go into the classroom and approach each student's seat one by one, comparing each student's appearance.

The teacher on the podium and the students in their seats remained silent, their pale eyes fixed on Xu Ming, following his movements around the classroom.

One person walks by, and forty-three pairs of eyes watch.

In the classroom filled with 'people', only Xu Ming's footsteps echoed.

Being stared at like that for a long time, Xu Ming felt a strange pressure, his forehead began to sweat slightly, and his pace quickened considerably.

Even though they did nothing, they just stared at him.

She stared intently at him...

Xu Ming walked between the first and second rows, suppressing his discomfort, comparing the faces of each student in the seats, but he just couldn't match them with the vague memories in his mind.

So Xu Ming went to the third and fourth columns, and after comparing them, he still couldn't find that damned brat.

Just then, the teacher on the podium and the students in their seats opened their mouths wide to the sides, almost stretching to the edges of their cheeks, their mouths nearly splitting open.

They stared at Xu Ming with strange smiles on their faces and said in unison:

"One, two, three, freeze!"

If we can't catch them, they'll become dead!

The chilling sound echoed in the classroom.

Xu Ming felt a chill run down his spine, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue searching the classroom, enduring their eerie smiles and voices.

Five more minutes passed, and Xu Ming still hadn't found anything.

The chilling sound continued to echo, and it seemed to be getting louder and louder.

Xu Ming was annoyed and restless by the noise.

"Shut up!"

He smashed a crowbar at the teacher on the podium.

To his surprise, the teacher's head was sent flying, hitting the blackboard, bouncing back, and landing on the lectern.

An even more terrifying scene unfolded.

The head that landed on the lectern stared intently at Xu Ming with eyes full of resentment, its mouth still opening and closing, emitting eerie sounds.

"One, two, three, freeze!"

If we can't catch them, they'll become dead!

They seemed to sense Xu Ming's agitation, and their cries grew louder and more urgent.

Xu Ming hit the teacher with a stick to vent his emotions, and then gradually calmed down.

He began to carefully observe everything in the classroom.

He quickly discovered the problem.

There was an empty table in the classroom.

One student hasn't returned yet. Could this be the little devil he's looking for?

Xu Ming immediately went to that table.

This is clearly a mischievous child's table, covered with all sorts of strange and wonderful pictures and words carved on it with a knife.

Xu Ming found some textbooks in the drawer of the table, with the name of the table's owner written on them—Shimadan Kumata.

Xu Ming immediately wrote down the name.

He stood up and began scanning the classroom, looking for any possible hiding place.

He quickly identified a suspicious point.

There was a row of lockers at the back of the classroom. Each locker was only about half the height of Xu Ming. An adult definitely couldn't fit in them, but it was hard to say if a child could.

Xu Ming immediately ran to the back of the classroom.

There are forty-three cabinets in total. It would definitely take a lot of time to pry them all open.

However, Xu Ming did not hesitate and started searching directly based on the nameplates on the cabinet.

He quickly locked onto his target, and saw that the nameplate clearly read 'Shimadan Kumata'.

It's a very simple line of reasoning.

These cabinets are all locked; it would take some time and a bit of noise to pry them open.

Aside from after school, classrooms are rarely empty, and even when they are, the time is very short.

So the best way to quickly hide in the closet without being seen by anyone is to hide in your own closet, since you have the key.

Moreover, this kid is most likely trying to play a prank, not steal.

Xu Ming immediately stepped forward and pried open the cabinet.

Just as he expected, a small, mummified corpse was curled up in the cupboard, holding a piece of 'Essence of Earth' in its hand.

Xu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We finally found it.

After Xu Ming took the 'Essence of Earth' from the brat, the teachers and students in the classroom immediately reverted to their original forms, turning into desiccated corpses lying face down on their seats.

Seeing the scene in the classroom, Xu Ming fell silent.

The teachers and students in the classroom were engrossed in their lesson, completely unaware of what was happening, when disaster struck silently...

Xu Ming turned around, took the 'Essence of Earth' with him, and returned to the classroom.

At this moment, only two figures, one tall and one short, remained in the classroom, and Xu Ming had less than half an hour left.

Xu Ming took a deep breath and stood facing the wall again.

"One, two, three, freeze!"

The game starts again!

Chapter 427 A Shocking Move

Xu Ming whirled around and raised his phone.

The teacher and the last remaining child immediately covered their faces and ran away.

To their utter surprise, Xu Ming pulled off a bizarre move.

Instead of taking pictures, he suddenly turned to face the wall and started chanting, "One, two, three, freeze!"

The teacher and the little devil were completely bewildered, and their escape route came to a halt.

After Xu Ming finished reading, he immediately turned around.

When he saw that the teacher and the kid hadn't made much progress, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Just as he expected.

Although they all have independent thinking abilities, as part of the 'strange', they need to follow the rules of the 'strange' even more.

That's the rule of the game 'One, two, three, freeze!'

They cannot move until Xu Ming takes action.

Before Xu Ming could start counting while facing the wall, they had to return to their original positions and then continue moving towards Xu Ming's back.

This is the rule set by 'One, two, three, freeze!'

So Xu Ming then pulled off a few more shady moves.

Pretending to raise her phone, pretending to leave the wall to chase after it, but each time she quickly turns around and starts counting again.

The teacher and the kid were thoroughly annoyed.

Although their faces remained cold and expressionless, Xu Ming could clearly sense waves of anxiety emanating from them.

They hadn't advanced much.

Xu Ming remained outwardly calm, but a thought stirred within him.

The fish has taken the bait...

He pretended to face the wall and start counting again, then quickly turned around and held up his phone.

If you cry "wolf" too often, people will become immune to it.

But sometimes doing the opposite can produce amazing results.

This time, the teacher and that brat hesitated, which was quite unusual.
