Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming patted the little piglet on his shoulder.

"Arita-kun, have you discovered anything?"

Once he reached the second floor, the guy was too scared to speak. Xu Mingzhen couldn't understand why there was such a huge difference between the two 'strange' things.

"No, no, I didn't find anything!"

The little piglet perched on Xu Ming's shoulder, looking around nervously. The pools of blood and the claw marks on the ground terrified it, making it fear that a monster might jump out from somewhere and eat it.

Xu Ming shook his head, then carefully observed what was behind him, but still nothing...

and many more!

Xu Ming's gaze suddenly became fixed on a bloody footprint about 5 or 6 meters behind him.

He knew where the incongruity lay.

The two SAT members ran up to the second floor from downstairs, plunged into the innermost room, and fought to the death inside.

Therefore, almost all the footprints of the standard leather boots in the corridor were pointing towards the room.

This footprint, however, faces the opposite direction.

Of course, there is another possibility: the footprint was left by someone who came to collect the remains of their fallen comrade.

The question had been deeply planted in Xu Ming's mind.

Xu Ming turned around and continued walking forward, but his hand involuntarily reached into his pocket and slowly pulled out his phone.

After walking a few more steps, the heavy footsteps reappeared, this time clearer and closer to him.

Xu Ming turned around abruptly, but there seemed to be nothing behind him.

However, Xu Ming soon discovered that the opposite footprints had increased again, and this time they were only 3 or 4 meters away from him.

Xu Ming frowned, turned around and continued walking forward. After taking only two steps, Xu Ming suddenly started running. The little pig on his shoulder was immediately frightened and closed its eyes tightly, clinging to his collar.

The sound of hurried footsteps immediately echoed in the silent corridor.

Soon, Xu Ming reached the stairs, but the footsteps never sounded again...

Before going downstairs, Xu Ming subconsciously glanced back, only to suddenly discover a pair of scarlet bloody footprints less than a meter behind him!

These footprints were unlike any other old, dark brown ones; it was as if a pair of blood-stained feet had stepped on them just seconds before.

There was nothing behind Xu Ming except for the bloody footprints.

Xu Ming's vigilance had reached its peak. He leaned against the wall and slowly walked down the stairs.

Unexpectedly, the process of going down the stairs went smoothly, and there were no attacks along the way.

Upon arriving on the first floor, Xu Ming was about to leave when he subconsciously glanced up at the top of the stairs.

Xu Ming froze instantly.

At the corner above the stairs, a pair of legs appeared out of nowhere, standing there quietly.

Due to the angle, Xu Ming could only see a pair of legs.

The legs were clad in dark blue police trousers and standard leather boots, but they were covered in bite marks, with blood constantly gushing from the wounds, flowing down the storage pipes and onto the boots, staining the black leather boots with a scarlet color.

When Xu Ming subconsciously took out his phone and pointed it at it, the strange legs suddenly disappeared again.

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment, then slowly put his phone away.

The strange legs never reappeared until Xu Ming walked out of the entrance.

Xu Ming picked up his phone and looked at it. It was already 4 p.m. Although the sun was slightly off-center, the sunlight was still plentiful.

The soft sunlight fell on his face, bringing waves of warmth. Xu Ming felt that most of the filth and chill he had accumulated in that house had been instantly dispelled.

As for that useless little piglet, it had already burrowed into the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'.

As Xu Ming was about to leave, he took one last look back at the dark blue glass house and was surprised to find that in the leftmost room on the second floor, through the glass wall, he could vaguely see a pair of legs standing quietly there.

Although the glass was covered in dust and stains, making it difficult to see clearly, Xu Ming recognized at a glance that these legs were the same ones he had seen at the corner of the stairs.

Xu Ming couldn't help but look up, wanting to see his true face clearly, but was surprised to find that the area above was completely blocked by a large shadow, which looked like a giant poster.

The poster was a meter or two tall, obscuring most of the figure standing behind it, only revealing the part below the knees.

However, the poster appears to have been torn by something, with a diagonal scratch mark on it.

Xu Ming vaguely saw an eye staring silently at him through the scratch mark...

Xu Ming quickly picked up his phone, aimed it at the eye, and pressed the shutter.

Click!

Under the sunlight, the purple-gold light emitted by the SpiritSoul phone appeared somewhat dim.

The figure hiding behind the poster seemed startled and suddenly disappeared.

Xu Ming silently surveyed the entire glass house, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Judging from the location, the room where the strange figure stood was the place where the two SAT officers fought their last battle.

Xu Ming waited a while longer, and perhaps because the sun had not yet set, no other abnormalities occurred in the glass house.

So Xu Ming turned around and left the entrance, and began to wander along the perimeter wall of the Expo Park.

It wasn't until after walking for a while that Xu Ming realized that the expo park was really big, two or three meters high, with a top covered with barbed wire that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Xu Ming walked until sunset before returning to the entrance.

The time on my phone showed that it was already 7 p.m.

Exhausted, Xu Ming found a clean spot outside the glass house and sat down, then began to slowly organize his spoils.

The entire expo park is an irregular circle with two entrances, one of which is the glass house where he is now.

Another entrance is outside the wall of the Far Moon Tea House, which appears to be a passage for work vehicles, but the gate is locked.

In addition, the west side of the Expo Park is adjacent to a mountain forest, and the southwest side has a small river whose water is directly diverted into the Expo Park.

The mountain forest looked deserted, and the mutated beasts that escaped from the Expo Park most likely fled into the forest, so Xu Ming didn't dare to get close.

Xu Ming sat on the ground to rest for a while, ate something, drank some water, and then stood up.

Just then, Xu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Sometime later, those eerie legs reappeared behind that large poster.

Xu Ming was silent for a moment, then suddenly summoned the piglet out of the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons', and then grabbed its pig ears and threw it like a bomb towards the second-floor window.

"what!!"

A piercing squeal of a pig suddenly broke through the night sky.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Vines

Bah!

With a loud crash, the glass shattered, and the piglet stumbled into the room.

Panic-stricken cries for help immediately erupted from the room, followed by the filling of black mist, and a humanoid figure clad in silver armor appeared in the room.

Soon, the sounds of a fierce struggle filled the room.

Soon after, it became completely quiet.

When Xu Ming found it, the pink piglet was pouting and glaring at him angrily.

Looking at its chubby face, Xu Ming only wanted to grab it and rub it hard a couple of times.

With incredible willpower, Xu Ming finally managed to overcome this tempting idea.

"Xu Mingjun! I'm angry!"

The little piglet squealed angrily.

A bag of potato chips.

Xu Ming calmly extended one finger.

"Humph!"

The little piglet seemed unmoved, holding its two little hooves to its chest with a disdainful look.

But Xu Ming noticed that the piglet's ears twitched slightly.

Xu Ming smiled slightly and extended his second finger.

"Two bags of potato chips..."

The little piglet involuntarily put down its trotters, a clear hint of hesitation showing on its face.

"...and another can of Coke."

"Listen to both!"

"make a deal!"

The man and the pig looked at each other, both wearing satisfied smiles.

Squeak!

A piercing noise rang out, and Xu Ming struggled to pry open the gate blocking his way.

He didn't want to make such a commotion, but the iron gate was completely deformed and rusted shut. Xu Ming had no choice but to pry open the jammed gate.

Upon entering the Expo Park, the entrance features a large flowerbed, divided into several sections by red brick paths.

Due to years of neglect, the plants in the flower bed have grown wildly, with tenacious vines taking over most of the space and spreading their octopus-like tentacles beyond the flower bed.

As Xu Ming walked along the path, he would occasionally step on a vine or two, as if he were stepping on snakes.

He even had the illusion that vines were wriggling under his feet.

I have to say, this feeling is truly disgusting.

Shh! Shh!

Then a strange sound came.

Xu Ming's expression shifted, he stopped, and his voice disappeared.

Xu Ming continued walking forward without making a sound, while carefully observing his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
