Why is my anime art style so weird?

Amidst the dazzling light, the continuous banging and knocking sounds could still be heard.

Even though he couldn't see it for the time being, Xu Ming didn't stop at all.

The light quickly faded, revealing the utterly miserable Shuimu.

At this moment, there was almost no good flesh on his body; he looked as if he had been burned, his entire body was pitch black.

At this moment, Xu Ming suddenly stopped tapping.

One second, two seconds... five seconds!

Time's up, death is coming to claim you!

Bah!

With a muffled thud, Shui Mu's head and entire upper body suddenly exploded.

A large amount of blood-red mist escaped from the severed body and disappeared into the air.

Then, as if it were shattered porcelain, cracks appeared all over Mizuki's body.

The cracks widened rapidly, and soon his body shattered into small pieces.

Then the fragments continued to shatter, eventually turning into ashes and slowly dissipating into the air.

Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Shui Mulian's ashes had been scattered.

This treacherous and cunning fellow is finally dead.

Previously, the reason Xu Ming chose to kill Shui Mu in such a complicated way was because this guy was too cunning and treacherous.

If he manages to escape again this time, he will definitely come back stronger.

They might even come up with a third phase.

Moreover, the hostages are still in his hands. If he eventually goes mad and uses the hostages as a shield, it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, Xu Ming would rather go through the trouble now than let Shui Mu fall into a state of dementia and kill him completely.

As it turned out, Xu Ming's choice was correct.

After resting for a while, Xu Ming entered the room on the right. He had just seen Shui Mu come out from here, so this was probably his lair.

Pushing open the door, a foul stench hit him, but Xu Ming had been subjected to the stench all night, so his nose seemed to have gotten used to it, or perhaps it had temporarily stopped working.

This is truly a sad story...

Soon a small interrogation room appeared in front of Xu Ming.

In the center of the torture chamber stood an iron bed with shackles, its surface stained with blood that had turned black. Even the black shackles had faintly turned dark red, a testament to the countless people who had been bound to it.

Next to the restraint bed was a small cart with tools such as scalpels, awls, and pliers stained with blood.

On the wall next to it hung a pile of grotesque weapons.

Saws, hammers, drills... these murder weapons were also stained with black blood.

Xu Ming could even faintly hear screams coming from the iron bed...

Chapter 439 The hostages have been rescued, and the US hasn't become a laughing stock (bonus chapter)

Next to the torture chamber, there was an even smaller room.

When Xu Ming opened the door, he saw that it was a small solitary confinement room, where more than a dozen illusory spirits were imprisoned.

They must be the family members of the ninjas that Mizuki kidnapped.

On the ground was a magic circle emitting an ominous, blood-red light, and the spirit was trapped in the middle of the circle, unable to move.

Xu Ming observed for a moment and found that those trapped in the magic array were all ordinary spirits.

So I took out my phone and took a picture of the magic circle.

Click!

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the magic circle instantly collapsed, turning into red specks that vanished.

The exorcising light only works on 'weird' beings that contain a large amount of negative energy, which is why Xu Ming dared to take pictures of the hostages without restraint.

Otherwise, it would immediately become a laughing stock for the American police.

After regaining their freedom, the spirits bowed deeply to Xu Ming before flying upwards.

Xu Ming didn't pay much attention to it.

He has done what he promised those ninjas.

Without any obstacles, Xu Ming began to carefully search the interrogation area for 'water essence'.

He eventually found the 'Water Essence' inside the door on the left side of the interrogation hall.

At the same time, the spirit flew to the office on the ground.

The anxiously waiting ninjas were overjoyed. They hugged their loved ones and then passed away peacefully.

Ibiki Morino was the last one, and standing in front of him was a boy who looked somewhat similar to him.

The boy bowed deeply to him, and said with a look of remorse:

"Big brother, I'm sorry for what happened before!"

"It's good that you're back..."

Ibiki Morino reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder.

A relieved expression appeared on the boy's face, and his figure slowly faded until it disappeared.

After the boy attained enlightenment, Ibiki Morino took one last look at the empty conference room.

This is where he spent two or three decades striving.

Now it's finally time to leave...

A hint of reluctance flashed in Ibiki Morino's eyes as his figure slowly disappeared.

The negative energy that had been building up in the ground-floor office area gradually dissipated.

After finding the third piece of 'Water Essence', Xu Ming began searching for the entrance to the underground laboratory.

The entrance is not hard to find; the door in the middle of the interrogation hall leads to the underground laboratory.

Xu Ming entered the underground laboratory through the entrance.

Looking at the rustic cave dwellings in front of him, Xu Ming fell silent.

This place is the complete opposite of the biological research institutes he had visited before.

The biological research institute is filled with a sci-fi feel, as if you have entered a future world.

This place is practically an underground lair for demons and monsters.

The air was filled with a foul stench mixed with the smell of earth, and the ground was damp and slippery, feeling like stepping on snakeskin.

Stepping on it will kick up a cloud of yellow mud, which is disgusting.

There weren't even any paving stones here; the ground was covered with puddles of all sizes, and the environment was incredibly poor.

To be able to produce so many results in such a harsh environment, Orochimaru is, to be fair, quite a talent.

As Xu Ming was lost in thought, a strange sound suddenly came from ahead, as if something was sliding on mud.

Xu Ming immediately became alert.

According to Ibiki Morino's information.

This underground cave is not only guarded by monsters, but also contains the failed products of Orochimaru's experiments.

Soon a terrifying monster rushed out of the cave ahead.

Its whole body looks like a puddle of jelly, mixed with some large chunks of 'fruit pulp'.

Upon closer inspection, those 'flesh' were actually human hands, feet, internal organs, and torso!

This guy was repulsive in appearance, and the sour, putrid stench emanating from him was equally unforgettable.

Xu Ming immediately raised his phone and pressed the shutter button.

A strange scream rang out.

The purple-gold light instantly reduced the monster to ashes.

Xu Ming hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Strange roars came from the cave.

Then one after another, grayish-white, phantom-like vengeful spirits emerged.

These vengeful spirits were quite different from those Xu Ming had seen before. Missing limbs were just the most common type; there were also all sorts of bizarre creatures.

For example, hands and feet are replaced with animal limbs, the body has many snake heads like Medusa's, and a human head grows on an animal's body...

These vengeful spirits are like jigsaw puzzle pieces, randomly piecing together various human and animal organs.

It looked extremely strange.

Xu Ming quickly raised his phone, aimed it at the monsters, and pressed the shutter button.

Click!

The purple-gold light shone again, and the vengeful spirit screamed in agony as it was instantly burned to ashes.

With only a few kittens left, Xu Ming simply picked up the crowbar and swung it down forcefully.

He quickly swept away the vengeful spirits that had surged forth.

call!

Xu Ming suddenly felt a foul-smelling wind coming from behind him. He instinctively lunged forward and rolled away to avoid the sneak attack.

Ignoring the dirt sticking to his body, Xu Ming immediately got up and looked behind him warily.

A strange figure emerged silently.

Using the light from his phone, Xu Ming quickly identified the culprit who had attacked him.

It turned out to be a beautiful snake.

This is not an adjective.
