"Hehehe... what a touching bond between master and disciple."
A sinister laugh suddenly rang out in the laboratory.
The piercing shriek of a pressure valve cut through the laboratory's deathly silence, and the heavy, silver-white Alloy Gate slowly slid open to either side.
Biting cold surged out with streams of white vapor.
At the end of the passage, a figure in a black-and-gold trench coat walked slowly toward them, backlit by the laboratory's cold white lights.

Their reactions varied. Li Xiao was itching to fight, while Xiao Yi gripped his divine sword tightly. Laser and Ghost Clown
