Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming returned the greeting, and then watched Aoyama Nanami walk into an old-fashioned two-story dormitory building.

Looking around the dormitory building, Xu Ming muttered something in confusion.

"Strange, this place doesn't seem to be inhabited at all..."

From the outside, this dormitory building appears to have at least four or five rooms on each floor, but from the first floor to the second floor, not a single room had a light on.

The entire dormitory building looked completely abandoned; it was so strange.

Xu Ming hesitated, and just as he turned to leave, before he had taken even half a step, he suddenly heard a terrified scream coming from the dormitory building.

It's Aoyama and the Seven Seas!

Xu Ming's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he rushed towards the dormitory building's gate!

Let's rewind 3 minutes...

Aoyama Nanami unlocked the dormitory door with the key and then said something as usual.

"I am back."

However, she quickly laughed at herself, realizing that no one could possibly answer her.

Since a female student committed suicide in her dormitory two months ago, most of the residents of Sakura-sou have moved out.

Later, even the dormitory manager quit.

It is said that the dormitory manager saw something unclean and fell seriously ill. After that, no one was willing to take over Sakura Dormitory, and it has been unmanaged for a long time.

Now, only two people live in the entire dormitory: herself and a transfer student from England, a strange girl with no common sense.

The reason why Aoyama Nanami stayed here was initially because the rent was cheap, and later because it was close to the professional voice acting school she enrolled in, and the transportation was convenient.

Even so, she couldn't hold on any longer.

Strange things frequently happen in this dormitory at night.

Someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night; you're sleeping soundly when someone pulls the covers off; footsteps echo from the empty upstairs; while you're showering, your slippers that were left outside are taken; the wardrobe opens by itself…

Aoyama Nanami is suffering from neurasthenia.

This has seriously affected her normal study and life.

Left with no other choice, Aoyama Nanami decided to move out.

She asked an agent to find a house near the voice actor school, and there are results now.

She won't be able to stay in this dormitory for more than a few days.

"Welcome back..."

Aoyama Nanami was changing her shoes when she was completely taken aback to receive a response. Her hand, which was untying her shoelaces, suddenly stopped.

Looking into the entrance hall, the room was pitch black, and the entire dormitory was as quiet as a tomb. You could even faintly hear the sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom in the distance.

"Mashiro, is that you?"

Aoyama Nanami asked in a low voice.

No one answered.

Aoyama Nanami couldn't help but swallow hard, the strange scenes that had happened in the dormitory before flooding back into her mind.

Aoyama Nanami hurriedly went to press the light switch in the entryway.

But the light didn't respond.

She then remembered that the light in the entryway had been broken for a week, and since there was no dormitory supervisor, no one had come to fix it.

Aoyama Nanami didn't dare to think about it anymore. She quickly changed her shoes and hurriedly went upstairs.

Squeak!

A strange, soft sound came from the end of the first-floor corridor.

Aoyama Nanami subconsciously turned her head and saw the side door of the dormitory slowly closing, as if someone had just left through the side door.

A gust of wind blew by, the door opened a crack, then closed again, making a strange noise.

An eerie atmosphere filled the air.

Aoyama Nanami didn't want to meddle, but there were only two girls in the entire dormitory, and it was very unsafe to leave the side door open all the time.

So Aoyama Nanami had no choice but to muster her courage and walk over, calling out softly.

"Mashiro, is that you?"

Still, no one answered.

Reaching the side door, Aoyama Nanami closed it and then locked it from the inside.

Nothing unusual happened; it seemed that the side door had simply been left open and blown open by the wind.

Aoyama Nanami breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk back.

However, as she passed the first-floor bathroom, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye…

A figure stood in the shadows, only a pair of pale, lifeless legs could be seen, and on those legs were her lost red slippers!

Aoyama Nanami's heart almost stopped beating.

She dared not make a sound, nor even turn her head to look in that direction, and walked forward with extremely stiff movements.

Passing the restroom, Aoyama Nanami quickened her pace and rushed towards the entrance.

She couldn't take it anymore!

She didn't want to stay in that dormitory for another second!

But when she flung open the door, she saw a strange woman in a red dress, with long bangs covering her eyes, standing in the doorway, staring coldly at her…

Chapter 108 Pfft!

Xu Ming rushed into the dormitory building and immediately saw a woman in red with very long hair who had tied Aoyama Nanami's neck and hung her from the ceiling fan.

Aoyama Nanami grabbed her hair with both hands and struggled violently, her face turning blue and purple.

Xu Ming quickly took out his phone from his pocket, pointed it at the woman in red, and pressed the shutter.

Click!

With a soft sound, purple-gold lightning instantly filled the dark dormitory.

The woman in red let out a shrill scream and quickly turned to ashes.

Her long, snake-like hair suddenly spread out, and Aoyama Nanami fell directly off the ceiling fan and crashed to the ground.

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, her body convulsed, she clutched her neck, and began to cough violently.

Xu Ming quickly helped her up and asked with concern:

"Are you alright, Aoyama-kun?"

It took Aoyama Nanami quite a while to catch her breath.

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me."

Her voice sounded a little hoarse, and it took her a while to recover.

She glanced at the still-burning ashes on the ground, her heart pounding with lingering fear, and asked cautiously:

"Xu Mingjun, what was that just now?"

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"It's a vengeful spirit..."

"Huh? Huh!!"

Xu Ming stayed by her side and comforted her.

It took Aoyama Nanami a long time to regain her composure.

"By the way, where are your other roommates?"

Xu Ming looked up in confusion. How could such a commotion have caused such a disturbance, yet not a single person was there to watch?

"them……"

Just as Aoyama Nanami was about to speak, a figure appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

To be precise, it was a pair of fair-skinned calves that appeared at the top of the stairs.

"what!!"

Aoyama Nanami was immediately terrified and screamed loudly.

The sound was so high-frequency that it almost shattered Xu Ming's eardrums.

While covering his ears, Xu Ming activated his 'Spiritual Vision' to observe the figure that emerged from the second floor. He subtly drew his 'Poison Dragon Dagger' and silently called out 'Arita Haruyuki' in his mind.

To Xu Ming's surprise, his 'spiritual vision' did not detect anything unusual from those fair legs; the owner of the legs seemed to be a living person.

Soon, the owner of the calf wobbled down the stairs.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Aoyama Nanami breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"Oh, she's really fair-skinned! That scared me to death!"

Coming down from the second floor was a beautiful girl with blonde hair and red eyes.

Her long, pale golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, shimmering even in the darkness. Her crimson eyes, similar to Shiyu's, had vertical pupils like those of a reptile, lending her an air of mystery.

But when Xu Ming's gaze moved down, he saw a face that was neither dignified nor imposing, but rather charming and cute.

This is a girl with a languid, cat-like temperament and a delicate, doll-like appearance.

The girl seemed to be still half asleep; not only were her eyes bleary, but her clothes were also disheveled.

"Zhenbai..."

Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh? How do you know Mashiro's name?"

Aoyama Nanami looked at Xu Ming with some confusion.
