Why is my anime art style so weird?

Weird, bizarre...

The quieter the building was, the more vigilant Xu Ming became.

Because he discovered that the mysterious corpse driver was likely a living person.

As the saying goes: Humans know how terrifying ghosts are, but ghosts know how wicked people are.

Sometimes, the living are more difficult to deal with than the dead.

In addition, the talisman at the entrance clearly serves to protect against external threats but not internal ones.

Rather than being a barrier to seal the White Gate Tower, it was more like a barrier to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the White Gate Tower and uncovering the conspiracy inside.

Filled with doubt, Xu Ming carefully inspected the first floor, but found nothing there.

Xu Ming couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Is it on the second floor?

With growing vigilance and suspicion, Xu Ming, Erina, and Parker ascended the stairs leading to the second floor.

Creak!

The dilapidated wooden staircase groaned incessantly.

Soon, the scene on the second floor came into Xu Ming's view.

Chapter 729 Illusion

The second floor of the White Gate Tower was equally silent.

The mysterious corpse driver and the group of twenty or so headless corpses seemed to have mysteriously disappeared, vanishing without a trace.

Xu Ming's eyes immediately fell on the window directly opposite the main entrance.

The window was half-open, and the carved window panes swayed gently with the breeze, occasionally emitting strange creaking sounds, as if an unseen mischievous child was playing tricks on the window.

But the blood-red figure had vanished without a trace.

Xu Ming became increasingly vigilant, carefully searching the building with his phone and a light.

From the moment he entered the White Gate Tower, the place was filled with an eeriness.

Xu Ming began to search the building carefully with Erina and Parker.

However, they searched almost every room on the second floor but found nothing.

Everything I had seen outside before seemed like an illusion.

Just when Xu Ming felt at a loss, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

He subconsciously turned around and immediately saw a splash of blood-red disappearing into the end of the corridor, like a corner of a gauze dress.

Xu Ming's eyes narrowed instantly, and without saying a word, he rushed over, leaving Erina and Parker looking at him with some confusion.

Whoosh!

Xu Ming suddenly pushed open the door to the corridor camera, and a smell of dust mixed with a strong musty smell hit him, almost making him cough.

But there was nothing in the room except for dust and a pile of broken and tattered junk.

Xu Ming sighed in disappointment.

Erina and Puck followed at this time.

"What's wrong, Amin? Did you find something?"

Parker patted him on the shoulder, puzzled.

"I'm not entirely sure if I've made a mistake..."

Xu Ming frowned in confusion, looking around the empty room in front of him.

"??"

Erina, standing to the side, looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Just as Xu Ming was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a blood-red shadow flashing by around the corner of the corridor.

Xu Ming's face immediately turned cold.

The first time could perhaps be explained by hallucinations caused by nervousness, but when this happened again, Xu Ming was almost certain that something was wrong.

Before he could figure it out, everything suddenly blurred before his eyes, and Erina and Puck beside him vanished at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ming found himself sitting on the ground without knowing when, and in front of him was a stage, where a slender figure draped in red gauze was dancing gracefully.

The skirt swirls like a blooming flower, and the flowing sleeves dance like wisps of smoke.

The graceful dance moves and the beautiful figure captivated Xu Ming's gaze, fixing him firmly on the stage.

Suddenly, Xu Ming felt a burning sensation in his chest, followed by a chill in his pocket. The contrast of hot and cold instantly cleared his mind and brought him back to his senses.

When I looked again, there was no stage, no peerless dancer, only a skeleton hanging from the rafters in white gauze.

Xu Ming gasped.

The pink skull is indeed formidable.

The skeleton swayed slightly in the wind, as if it were actually dancing.

But this scene only evokes fear and horror.

Xu Ming, his face ashen, picked up his phone and pressed the shutter button, aiming it at the skull.

Click!

With a soft sound, the purple-gold exorcising light instantly illuminated the surroundings, dispelling the darkness.

Xu Ming watched as the skeleton hanging from the roof beam slowly turned to ashes, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

He felt a strong sense of unease, but couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, which made him feel incredibly awkward.

"My lord, you have such a cruel heart..."

A faint, sweet voice suddenly came from beside his ear, and then Xu Ming smelled a delicate fragrance.

The fragrance is both alluring and icy, elusive and inviting endless imagination.

Xu Ming felt goosebumps rise on his skin.

A pair of cold, slender little hands appeared behind him and rested on his neck.

Xu Ming then realized what the sense of unease he had sensed earlier was.

Erina and Puck still haven't shown up!

The moment he destroyed the previous illusion, he was immediately pulled into another illusion, which subtly shifted in the gentle rain.

It's a double illusion!?

If he hadn't been wearing multiple layers of protective gear, he might have been trapped without even realizing it.

The instant those hands touched his neck, an extremely cold aura spread along his neck and shoulders like a deadly poison.

The cross on his chest immediately emitted a bright golden light, and at the same time released a large amount of warm current from the cross, making him feel an unusual burning sensation in his chest, as if his skin was about to be set on fire.

A moment later, Xu Ming's expression changed slightly.

He discovered that the warm current released from the cross could not completely dispel the chilling aura that had seeped into his body.

Soon Xu Ming felt his entire body, including his blood vessels, was about to be completely frozen.

For the first time, the cross was at a disadvantage in its battle with the negative energy that had invaded his body.

Xu Ming made a decisive move and immediately activated the 'Holy Spirit Armor'.

Golden light immediately appeared around Xu Ming's body, protecting him firmly within it.

The armored figure immediately flung away the hand that had touched his body, and the chilling sensation vanished instantly.

Without any hesitation, Xu Ming turned around and pressed the shutter button behind him.

Click!

The purple-gold exorcising light shone once more.

"Humph!"

Xu Ming vaguely heard a slightly painful groan. The person who ambushed him was caught off guard and seemed to have been injured.

Buzz!

The surrounding space suddenly distorted, like a mirage, but the scenery quickly returned to normal, and Erina and Puck reappeared beside him.

Erina grabbed his shoulder and looked at him in surprise.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? I called you for ages and you didn't respond. Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Ming let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Erina."

Two lovely blushes suddenly rose on Erina's fair cheeks. Her eyes darted to the side, and she muttered to herself:

"Hmph~ I'm not concerned about you at all..."

Xu Ming smiled faintly, then stopped smiling.

"Be careful, this enemy will use very strong illusions. I just fell for one."

"Illusion magic, huh? I do have a way with that."

Parker crossed his two little cat paws over his chest and said with an air of maturity.

Before it could speak, a soft laugh suddenly came from the darkness ahead.

The laughter was incredibly alluring, as if someone were gently brushing the tip of a feather against your earlobe.

In a daze, a figure dressed in a blood-red veil appeared silently in front of them.

Chapter 730 Simple and Brutal

A face that could launch a thousand ships, coupled with a figure that could tempt and tempt to commit a crime.

Two seemingly contradictory qualities, alluring and dignified, coexist in the same person.

The blood-red veil was incredibly thin, so thin that one could easily see the exquisite body wrapped within it. But upon closer inspection, it seemed as if a thin layer of blood mist shrouded the body.
