Why is my anime art style so weird?

Moreover, after meeting Kato Megumi and learning about some of the secrets of this world, Xu Ming also felt a sense of crisis.

He remembered that Kato Megumi had mentioned that the soul crystals left behind by the 'mysterious' could be refined into shikigami.

Compared to those blank passersby, my sister, whose soul potential is as high as level 6 in the system rating, is definitely the top-tier UR card.

The probability of your own sister being targeted by other Onmyoji is extremely high.

Xu Ming was not naive enough to believe that all Onmyoji were law-abiding citizens.

As the saying goes: A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law.

Onmyoji possess abilities that transcend worldly concerns; would they care about the opinions of ordinary people?

Onmyoji mostly follow the blatant law of the jungle.

If someone harbors lustful thoughts towards their own sister, can one expect them to still possess some semblance of goodness?

Of course, you should use even more force to smash their dog's head in, so that no one else dares to have any ideas about their older sister! That's what a proper younger brother should do!

Xu Ming opened the system panel and began to check his gains from last night.

—Congratulations, host, for unlocking the side event 'Animal Expo Park - Anaconda Disaster (1 stars)'. Quest settlement in progress...

—The mission has undergone a sudden change, and the rewards have been increased!

—Settlement complete, event completion rate: 80%!

—Gained 150 Strange Points (150% * 2)!

—Congratulations, host, you have received an extra reward: Poison Dragon's Dagger! Claim it? (Yes/No)

—The host has activated an extra mission, 'The Avengers (?)'

—The Avengers (?)

—Mission Objective: Persuade the factions of 'Animal Expo Park', 'Fairy Tale Castle', and 'Sky Keep' to join your temporary team and launch a revenge attack against the mastermind behind the 'Blood Moon Cycle' incident.

—Task completion progress: (1/3)

—Note: The more factions you recruit, the higher the reward.

The system displayed a long list of information all at once.

Seeing the strange surge in points and the special reward, Xu Ming smiled with satisfaction.

Now, the number of Strange Points he possesses has suddenly surged to 230. With such a large number of Strange Points, he can exchange them for some useful abilities.

However, what caught his attention even more was the extra reward, which was clearly a hidden reward from the system.

Xu Ming immediately chose to accept it.

A strangely shaped dagger immediately fell into his hand.

The bronze handle and the slightly curved blade inside the leather sheath resemble an enlarged sharp tooth.

Xu Ming slowly drew the dagger from its sheath. The blade was made of exquisite white jade, but the tip had a faint, dark green tinge that was quite noticeable.

The system then displayed the relevant data.

Poison Dragon's Dagger (2 stars)

A dagger forged from the teeth of a highly venomous snake demon. Once it strikes a target, the venom at the tip will be injected into the target's body, continuously harming and tormenting the target until the target dies.

If the same target is stabbed more than 3 times, there is a certain probability that the toxins accumulated in the target's body will evolve into 'Soul Poison', causing the target to die directly.

Note 1: The effect is halved on targets with a soul level of 3, and has no effect on targets with a soul level of 3 or higher.

Note 2: Cannot be upgraded.

Xu Ming carefully put the dagger back into its sheath and nodded in satisfaction.

With this dagger, his attack methods will become more diverse.

Then Xu Ming opened his personal panel and spent 20 Weird Points to activate his long-awaited 'Spiritual Vision' ability.

Happiness that is 'invisible' is for ordinary people.

For Xu Ming, who has already stepped into the inner world, being 'invisible' is actually more dangerous.

Xu Ming closed his eyes and silently recited in his mind:

'Activate your spiritual vision!'

When he opened his eyes again, the world was suddenly different.

His vision remained unchanged, but some unusual things appeared in his field of vision.

The air was filled with black 'gas', some thick and some thin, some dense and some light.

In his home, the 'black aura' was most concentrated on the piglets and on his sister's portrait.

The concentration of "black aura" emanating from the elder sister's portrait was at least ten times that of the piglet. It was a truly chilling sight.

Xu Ming quickly withdrew his supernatural powers, and his vision immediately returned to normal.

Xu Ming then opened the system store and began searching inside.

He wanted to find a protective item. As the 'strange' things he faced became more and more terrifying, the 'Amaterasu Amulet (fake)' given to him by Kato Megumi was becoming insufficient.

However, after looking through them, Xu Ming didn't find anything quite suitable.

Xu Ming felt that most disposable items were not worthwhile, and equipment was not cheap either.

For example, what Xu Ming wants most is a 'substitute doll', which can withstand a fatal attack. But if that's all, wouldn't a cheaper shield charm be more appealing?

You need to click on the 'Substitute Doll's' description to see its hidden effect: it can block one fatal attack and become immune to attacks of the same attribute for 3 minutes.

This is a different kind of 'invincibility'.

Its value is then greatly increased; it can be used not only as a means of advance but also as an offensive tool.

Three minutes is enough time for a person with all four limbs intact and nimble hands and feet to do a lot of things.

However, it is also noted that it can only withstand attacks of soul level 5 and below.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and upgraded the 'evil-dispelling' ability of the spirit-capturing phone lens to level 2, spending 200 eerie points.

That leaves him with only 10 weird points.

Chapter Ninety: A Special Commission

Suddenly, Xu Ming's phone rang.

Xu Ming turned off the system panel, picked up his phone, and saw that it was displaying Kato Megumi's number.

"That's strange, why did she call me?"

Xu Ming muttered something to himself and pressed the call button on the screen.

"Moxi, Moxi, this is Xu Ming."

"Hello, Ming. I'm so sorry to bother you."

Megumi Kato's pleasant voice came through the phone's speaker.

"Jia... Hui, is there something you need?"

"Yes, I have a commission here, and I hope you can take it on."

Xu Ming looked puzzled.

Judging from Kato Megumi's words, this commission seemed to be somewhat special, and she really hoped that Xu Ming would take on it.

What are the contents of the commission?

"Get rid of the 'weirdness' that's harassing the client as quickly as possible."

As if afraid that Xu Ming would not accept it, Kato Megumi added another sentence.

"Don't worry, I've already sent people to investigate. This commission is definitely within your capabilities."

"I see..."

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment, but then he heard Kato Megumi's voice coming from the other end of the flashlight again.

"This client comes from a wealthy family and is very generous. He'll receive 3000 million yen if we complete the task..."

Before Kato Megumi could finish speaking, Xu Ming immediately said in a serious tone:

"It is my duty to eliminate the 'strange' things that harm ordinary people!"

I accept this commission. Please send me the materials!

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ming."

A soft laugh seemed to come from the other end of the phone.

Xu Ming didn't pay any attention.

Ding!

Soon, Megumi Kato sent over a detailed address.

"Let me see, 35-213-87 Ichino-cho, Minato Ward... Turns out he really is a rich person."

Xu Ming muttered something under his breath.

Then Xu Ming patted the piglet on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Arita-kun."

The little piglet, who was watching an anime with great enjoyment, suddenly jumped up from the sofa, stuffing a handful of potato chips into his mouth and chewing them with a crunching sound.

"What's wrong, Xu Mingjun?"

Xu Ming waved his hand.

"We've got work to do!"

"Coming right now!"

Haruyuki Arita quickly lifted a large bottle of soda with his two little pig hooves, gulped it down, and then let out a burp…

--------

Looking at the enormous, very familiar-looking mansion in front of him, Xu Ming scratched the back of his head and muttered:

"It can't be such a coincidence..."
