Why is my anime art style so weird?

The fatal wound was to the heart; it was a long, narrow cut.

Professor Miyano's expression darkened the moment he saw the body.

Aside from the wounds on the chest and abdomen, which were clearly caused by a sharp weapon, the corpse's neck and arms were covered in bite marks from an animal, and its face was so mangled and bloody that it was unrecognizable.

Bah!

Professor Miyano slammed his hand hard on the metal dissection table.

"Bastard!"

The body was severely damaged, and it is unknown how much useful information and evidence was destroyed.

Ordinary people cannot comprehend the anger in the heart of Professor Miyano, a forensic pathologist.

"We absolutely have to find you!"

Professor Miyano said through gritted teeth.

As he spoke, he pointed at the gloomy-looking college student and shouted:

"Yano! Turn off the lights!"

Koichi Yano, who was called out, was taken aback.

"What are you standing there for?! Turn off the lights right now!"

"Okay, okay, Professor!"

Koichi Yano stumbled and staggered toward the switch on the wall.

"Honestly, if you were even half as good as Suzuki-kun, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Professor Miyano's rambling voice came from behind me.

With his back to everyone, Yano Yuki clenched his fists, biting his lip hard, his eyes flashing with resentment.

"Hurry up and turn off the lights, you useless idiot!"

Professor Miyano's shouts and curses came from behind me again.

Koichi Yano took a deep breath and reached for the light switch on the wall.

Snapped!

With a soft sound, the entire morgue was instantly plunged into darkness.

Xu Ming couldn't help but swallow, glancing around nervously.

At this moment, only a vague outline of the surrounding area could be seen. The people around him were covered by a black membrane, making it difficult to see clearly. Only shadowy figures could be seen swaying slightly.

For some reason, no one spoke at this moment, and the surroundings were quiet.

Only the buzzing sound from the freezer running, like tiny insects, kept burrowing into my eardrums.

The silence was soon broken.

"Finally caught you! You bastard!"

Professor Miyano's excited shouts came from the darkness.

Xu Ming looked in the direction of the sound and could vaguely see the corpse on the dissection table emitting a greenish fluorescence, which looked particularly eerie in the darkness.

"What... what is this?"

But this is not the focus of everyone's attention.

Green fluorescence extended down from the dissection table, transforming into fragmented handprints that spread towards the corners of the room.

Xu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

If he remembers correctly, that direction is...

A handprint emitting a faint green light appeared conspicuously on the cabinet door in the middle of the morgue.

Everyone held their breath upon seeing this.

All that could be heard was Noguchi's trembling voice.

"Professor! This...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Professor Miyano suddenly flew into a rage and began to curse.

"You bastard! How dare you play me!"

Without saying a word, he rushed straight to the morgue cabinet and, to everyone's horrified surprise, flung open the door with a whoosh!

By this time, everyone had almost adapted to the darkness.

Xu Ming could vaguely see a corpse lying on the sliding iron bed.

The eerie green glow emanating from the corpse's hands and mouth cast a chilling light on everyone's faces, making them appear particularly sinister.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Until Professor Miyano's voice rang out again.

"Yano, turn on the lights!"

"Yes!"

The overhead light flickered a few times and then came back on.

Light once again enveloped the entire morgue.

Professor Miyano stood beside the morgue cabinet with a livid face, his eyes fixed on the corpse on the iron bed.

Xu Ming blinked, adjusted his eyes to the light, and then opened them to look at the morgue.

A cold female corpse, her face covered in frost and dressed in a deep red dress, lay quietly on the iron bed.

Apart from a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain on her wrist, the female corpse showed almost no other obvious external injuries; only her skin appeared exceptionally pale.

"Ahem! Professor Miyano, why don't we let Ms. Kato give it a try? After all, she's an expert in this field..."

Minister Noguchi made the suggestion cautiously.

Professor Miyano's expression shifted several times before he finally let out a cold laugh.

"Alright! I'd like to see what tricks she has up her sleeve!"

After saying that, he stepped aside and made way for others.

Kato Megumi nodded to Xu Ming, walked to the dissection table, and slowly raised her hand.

A hand, even whiter and more slender than Chihaya's, slowly emerged from her sleeve.

Her nails were rounded, with a subtle, translucent sheen, like ruby. Her fingers were slender and fair, like mutton fat jade.

This hand is as exquisite as a work of art.

Kato Megumi then made several mysterious hand gestures in the air with one hand.

hum!

A golden magic circle appeared out of thin air in her palm.

Kato Megumi placed her hand directly above the corpse, and golden powder-like specks of light rained down from the magic circle, instantly covering the entire corpse.

At this moment, even the gruesome corpses seemed to appear more sacred.

Xu Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

Aside from the system, this was the first time he had ever witnessed the mystical methods of this world firsthand.

In an instant, it was as if a new world had been opened for him.

To his great surprise, the others looked at Kato Megumi with blank expressions, as if they hadn't seen what she was doing.

After a while, Kato Megumi made a few more hand seals, and the golden powder covering the corpse began to be collected.

Xu Ming noticed that a very small number of the golden specks had turned green, as if they had been contaminated with fluorescent agents.

Kato Megumi withdrew her hand, walked back to the red-clad female corpse, and repeated the same steps.

When Kato Megumi retrieved the golden light, the number of green light spots had increased several times over.

After doing all this, Kato Megumi didn't explain to everyone. Instead, she rested her chin on her hand and put on a thoughtful expression.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Staying Behind

"Ms. Kato, how is the situation?"

"I asked cautiously," Noguchi asked.

Kato Megumi shook her head with a serious expression.

"I just used Yin-Yang magic to check, and the situation isn't good..."

Professor Miyano's sarcastic voice broke in again.

"What's going on? You haven't done anything at all! At least do a Kagura dance and pretend to perform for us!"

He crossed his arms and looked at Kato Megumi with a cold smile.

That was a bit much, and even his two students couldn't help but frown.

Kato Megumi, however, maintained a calm and composed expression, as if she hadn't heard Professor Miyano's words at all.

"Upon my examination, this corpse has been turned into a ghoul using evil magic..."

Completely ignored and feeling utterly foolish, Professor Miyano sneered upon hearing this and muttered to himself in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Evil magic? Ghouls? Are you writing a novel or making a movie? Ridiculous!"

Kato Megumi ignored him and patiently explained to Noguchi.

"Ghouls are created by the caster after absorbing the remaining souls of corpses."

The caster controls the ghouls through the soul, so the ghouls are merely empty shells. To break this evil spell, one must either burn the ghouls with intense fire, turning them to ashes, or break the spell while the caster is controlling the ghouls…

After Kato Megumi's explanation, apart from Xu Ming, who was somewhat of an insider, everyone else looked completely bewildered.

However, everyone understood the solution.

Professor Miyano immediately objected loudly.

"Burning? Absolutely not! These bodies are being kept here by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Many of them are victims of murder cases. The cases haven't been solved yet. How can we burn the bodies and destroy the evidence?"
