Why is my anime art style so weird?

"Senior, may I ask what happened inside?"

The bespectacled, thin young man glanced at Xu Ming and said in a low voice:

"I'm not too sure either, I heard there was a murder in this building!"

At this moment, another college student chimed in:

"This is more than just a murder case! It's a horrific dismemberment case!"

The college student looked utterly disappointed.

Who died?

"I heard it's Yano Koichi from room 414."

"He died a horrible death! I just saw the police carrying several garbage bags up to put the body in! Tsk tsk!"

The college students watching from the sidelines were discussing it animatedly.

Xu Ming knew they were late.

Kato Megumi gave Xu Ming a wink, and the two left the crowd and went to a secluded spot.

"Kato-kun, what should we do now?"

Xu Ming frowned.

The red-clad female ghoul who killed the caster is now a ferocious beast that has completely broken free of its cage.

Dangerous! Deadly!

"Don't rush."

Kato Megumi remained calm, and influenced by her, Xu Ming's anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, a pleasant telephone ringtone sounded.

Xu Ming subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see Kato Megumi take out her phone and answer a call.

"Ms. Kato, help! Rie! Rie is trying to kill me!"

As soon as she pressed the call button, Suzuki Tomohito's cries for help suddenly came through the receiver. His voice was full of panic and fear, mixed with heavy breathing.

Xu Ming could picture Suzuki Tomohito running at full speed while shouting for help into his phone just by listening to his voice.

Xu Ming was shocked. How come this guy was in danger so soon after the two sides separated?

Beep! Beep! ...

Before Xu Ming could even utter a few words of complaint, a hurried short tone came from the other end of the phone.

Looking at the phone that had been abruptly disconnected, Kato Megumi frowned slightly and looked at Xu Ming.

"What exactly is going on?"

Xu Ming was a little confused.

"The ghoul has killed the caster, and there's a high probability she's now evolved into a vengeful spirit and has already attacked Suzuki Tomohito!"

"!!"

Wasn't it said that killing the caster would cause them to lose their minds and go on a killing spree of innocent people? Why did they go and chase after Suzuki Tomohito?!

What kind of bad luck did this guy commit? He's so unlucky! Is he cursed by the god of misfortune?

Let's rewind five minutes...

After parting ways with Xu Ming and Kato Megumi, Suzuki Tomohito saw Professor Miyano off in a taxi and watched him leave.

As he walked toward his apartment, he took out his phone and made a call.

The call was answered quickly.

"Moshi moshi, it's me, Meijia sauce."

"Suzuki-senpai!? I heard you stayed behind tonight to keep Professor Miyano company. Are you alright!?"

"I'm fine, Mika-chan, don't worry about me..."

Suzuki Tomohito held his phone and showered Mika with sweet words, making the girl on the other end of the line overjoyed. She even hinted that she could sneak out that night.

Tomohito Suzuki politely declined.

As he continued to whisper sweet nothings to the girl on the other end of the phone, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

The path he usually walked seemed unusually quieter than usual.

Suzuki Tomohito's apartment building is located near the entrance of the dormitory area. Usually, even at this time, there would still be students returning late passing by, but tonight, not a single person was seen.

He was all alone walking on the path.

Chapter Seventy: The Ultimate Scumbag

Oh!

The streetlights flickered suddenly and then went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Then the streetlights came on again.

Suzuki Tomohito instinctively looked up, and his heart nearly stopped for a moment.

The familiar figure in the red dress was standing five meters in front of him.

Her hair was loose in front, almost covering most of her face, but a pair of eyes could be vaguely seen through the gaps in her hair, staring straight at Suzuki Tomohito.

She was also holding the hand of a tiny, pale-faced figure. Even more bizarrely, the figure had no face, only a large mouth.

The little man grinned at Suzuki Tomohito, his smile incredibly sinister.

"Daddy~~!"

The little man suddenly called out to Suzuki Tomohito, and the sound seemed to be a combination of the vocal cords of a young child and an old man, making it sound incredibly eerie.

Suzuki Tomohito's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He instinctively took a step back, but tripped over a bump in the ground and fell to the ground.

The woman in red, leading the eerie little figure, instantly bridged the distance between them and appeared in front of Suzuki Tomohito.

Sitting on the ground, Suzuki Tomohito saw through his hair a pair of dark eyes filled with resentment.

Staring directly into those eyes, Suzuki Tomohito suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet, and froze completely.

"Daddy, hug me!!"

The eerie little man spoke again.

"Wow!"

The little man's cries startled Tomoto Suzuki, who was so frightened that he scrambled away and fled into the distance.

Suzuki Tomoto, who escaped, didn't see the wicked smile on the little man's face...

When Xu Ming and Kato Megumi arrived, Suzuki Tomohito was left with only a mutilated corpse.

Even more bizarrely, the woman in red did not, as Kato Megumi had claimed, indiscriminately kill innocent passersby.

She held Suzuki Tomohito's head in one arm and led the eerie little figure by the hand in the other, standing beside Suzuki Tomohito's corpse, silently gazing at the unseeing eyes of the dead Suzuki Tomohito in her arms...

Xu Ming held up his phone and pointed it at the woman in red, then turned his questioning gaze to Kato Megumi.

"Let me do it, Xu Mingjun."

Kato Megumi was silent for a moment, then took out a white paper talisman from her sleeve.

Under Xu Ming's surprised gaze, Kato Megumi slowly walked over and gently placed the paper talisman on the red-clad woman's forehead.

call!

White flames instantly covered the woman in red and then spread to the eerie little figure beside her.

Strangely, the woman in red did not show the slightest resistance from beginning to end.

Xu Ming also noticed that this white flame appeared softer compared to the golden flame that Kato Megumi had used before.

White flames continued to burn, and large amounts of black smoke billowed from the two 'people'.

The smoke eventually dissipated into the air.

When the flames died down, the two 'people's' appearances had changed dramatically.

The woman in red had her hair loose behind her head, revealing a delicate face. The bloodstains on her clothes had faded, and she had become a white dress.

The eerie little figure transformed into a beautifully crafted child, staring wide-eyed at Kato Megumi and Xu Ming with a curious expression, sucking on his finger.

Then, white light continuously emanated from the two of them, and their figures gradually became faint and illusory, like a mirage.

The woman bowed deeply to Kato Megumi, then slowly turned into white specks of light and dissipated into the air.

"What exactly is going on?"

Xu Ming was somewhat confused.

Didn't they say it would get out of control and start a massacre?

How could they be sent to the afterlife without any resistance?

Could it be that Kato Megumi possesses some kind of domineering aura that he cannot see? Her delicate body trembled, and the vengeful spirit immediately bowed down, obediently waiting to be exorcised.

Perhaps it was because the strange expression on Xu Ming's face was too obvious.

Kato Megumi sighed and called out softly:

"Hong, bring the documents over here."

Swish!

A figure dressed in ninja attire suddenly appeared in front of the two.

Xu Ming was startled.

But then the ninja who had suddenly appeared knelt down on one knee and presented a tablet computer to Kato Megumi before disappearing into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Kato Megumi, dressed in a traditional Chinese pine and crane patterned dress, picked up the tablet and began to operate it skillfully.

Seeing this utterly incongruous scene, Xu Ming couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Kato Megumi noticed Xu Ming's strange expression and smiled faintly.

"Xu Mingjun, times have changed. While we use Yin-Yang techniques to exorcise 'strange things,' we also use the internet to quickly find information~~"
