Why is my anime art style so weird?

After an investigation, London police surprisingly concluded that the little girl had accidentally fallen into the river while playing by the riverbank.

Ignoring the wishes of the little girl's parents, the police declared the case closed and issued a notice urging citizens to take good care of their children and not to play near the artificial river.

The newspapers reported on it for a few days, but when they saw there was nothing more to uncover, they all dropped the story.

The victim's parents were left heartbroken...

Rose stared wide-eyed at the little girl in front of her.

She watched the little girl sink into the river with her own eyes.

Now, the little girl who had long since drowned has appeared before her, and in such a bizarre way.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Water kept dripping from the little girl, as if she had just climbed out of the riverbed to seek revenge!

"what!"

Rose screamed and turned to run in another direction. The little girl was quickly left behind.

The thick fog churned and rolled, engulfing Rose completely like a nightmare...

Rose ran frantically down the street, glancing around as she ran.

She was afraid, afraid that the eerie little girl would suddenly emerge from the fog again.

On the empty street, only the sound of her footsteps could be heard.

A sharp pain shot through the sole of my foot.

Rose then realized that one of her shoes had somehow come off, and she had accidentally stepped on a sharp pebble, cutting her foot.

"Damn brat! Why are you still bothering me?! Go to hell already!"

Rose cursed under her breath and slowly stopped.

She scanned her surroundings warily.

The strange little girl didn't chase after them.

Rose took out a handkerchief, carefully bandaged her foot, and limped towards home.

She absolutely dared not go to that intersection again, and could only take a long detour to get home from another direction.

Along the way, she acted like a thief, looking around every few steps, and being terrified by the slightest sound.

It took Rose twice as long as usual to finally see the small house she rented.

She couldn't help but let out a long breath and subconsciously quickened her pace toward the small building.

call!

Just then, a gust of wind blew in from somewhere, dispersing some of the fog.

Rose heard the noise and turned around to see the strange girl less than 5 meters behind her!

Was this brat following her the whole time she was taking a detour?!

Just thinking about how she had carefully walked forward without realizing that the little girl was following behind her through the thick fog all the way here...

Rose's hair stood on end.

She didn't dare say a word, nor did she dare look at the little girl. She simply lowered her head and rushed into the door on the first floor, then began to climb the stairs.

Halfway there, Rose suddenly realized something was wrong.

The apartment she rented was an old building, and because of its poor construction, the soundproofing was terrible. If she made even a slightly loud noise, the whole building could hear her.

Moreover, most of the people who rent this house are her colleagues, and they often bring guests home.

So even at night, the building remains very lively.

But now the whole building is quiet, as if everyone moved out overnight!

The pitch-black stairwell was like the mouth of a monster, devouring all living things.

Rose couldn't help but swallow hard. She didn't have much savings and couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on.

Finally, she arrived safely at her own door on the second floor.

Nothing happened in between.

After a while, click! The door lock opened.

Chapter 571 The Death of Jealousy (Part 2)

Just as Rose was about to step into the house, a strange gust of wind blew in from the end of the corridor.

She suddenly felt a chill creep up her body and couldn't help but shiver.

"Damn it! How many times have I told you to close the corridor windows!"

Rose couldn't help but complain immediately.

London is located by the sea, and the Atlantic climate is unpredictable, often experiencing storms.

If you forget to close the corridor windows, rainwater will seep into the corridor and soak the wooden floors when it's windy or rainy. Then, the whole building will smell musty for a month or two.

Rose is a long-time tenant here, so of course she knows these things.

Generally speaking, the window at the end of the corridor is the one that is closest to the house that is responsible for opening and closing it.

That family is just careless and often forgets to close the windows.

Rose herself is sharp-tongued and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, so the two families don't get along very well.

Rose was immediately annoyed to see that the other party had forgotten to close the window again.

She even considered knocking on the door to wake the other person up and have a proper argument with them.

However, she stopped before she could take a single step. The color drained from her face instantly, and terror filled her expression.

The eerie blonde girl was standing by the window at the end of the corridor.

The wind blew in from the window, causing the curtains to sway wildly. The little girl's figure stood quietly behind the curtains, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

call!

Just then, the wind suddenly picked up, the curtains shook wildly, and the little girl's figure vanished in an instant.

The idea of ​​teaching the neighbor a lesson was instantly forgotten.

Rose turned and walked towards her house.

"!!"

Without realizing it, she caught a glimpse of the little girl appearing on her left from the end of the corridor on the right.

Rose screamed and rushed into her room, locking the door behind her with all her might.

She then quickly left the front door, staring intently at the door with a look of terror on her face, afraid that the little girl would simply walk through the door and into the house.

Time passed second by second, but there was nothing in the corridor; it all seemed like her illusion.

Rose quickly washed up, feeling uneasy, and then went straight back to bed.

A cold wind blew in through the window, causing it to shake and make a creaking sound, as if someone were outside.

After a series of tense events and running several miles, Rose was exhausted.

Once she lay down on the bed, fatigue washed over her like a tidal wave, and Rose drifted off to sleep...

Half-asleep, Rose suddenly felt a gaze fall upon her.

She could even easily sense the deep malice contained in that gaze.

Rose looked up and saw the little girl standing outside the window, staring straight at her through the blurry glass.

The problem is that her house is on the second floor, and there are no balconies or other supporting structures outside the windows!

"what!"

Rose screamed at the top of her lungs.

The loud noise that used to easily wake up the entire building didn't disturb anyone today.

It remained quiet outside.

Only that terrifying little girl stared back at her through the window.

Rose immediately shrank into the corner, wrapped herself in the blanket, and shivered inside.

But after a while, her blanket slowly started to bulge.

Then a wet head popped out from under the covers.

The little girl's face was deathly pale, her skin swollen and rotting. Her dark eyes were fixed on Rose, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.

Hehe~!

The faint sound of a girl's laughter could be heard coming from inside the room...

The next morning, Xu Ming had just finished preparing breakfast and was enjoying it with Eileen in the second-floor restaurant.

Suddenly the old butler came up.

“Sir, Detective George has come to visit, and I have invited him into the study.”

Eileen immediately put down her knife and fork with a serious expression, wiped her lips with a napkin, and nodded.

"I understand, I'll go down right away."

Xu Ming knew perfectly well that while they were doing useless work yesterday, the restless little ripper had started committing crimes again.

"Let's go and meet this detective."

Eileen extended an invitation to Xu Ming.

Is this appropriate?

Xu Ming was somewhat surprised.

"Dr. Watson, you are my assistant."

Eileen winked playfully.
