Chen Xuxun: fidgeting with a knife Wh-where do you think you are? Answer!
I am in your den. I was reborn.
eyes narrowing, voice trembling Reborn? What nonsense are you spouting now? How long have you been dead for?
I was given another body. I was not reborn.
clenching the knife tightly Another body? You expect me to believe such a ridiculous story? What game are you playing now?
I am telling you the truth.
lunges forward, grabbing SeashellSerenity by the collar You better start explaining yourself, because I won't tolerate any more lies.
tightening his grip on SeashellSerenity's collar, his voice low and dangerous Because I've always known you for your cunning and deceit.
If I wanted to kill you I would have.
releases his grip on SeashellSerenity's collar, taking a step back You're right, you could have killed me.
paces back and forth, running his fingers through his hair What do I want? Information. Answers. I want to know the truth behind your return.
I will tell you everything.
stops pacing, his eyes darting around the room Everything? You'd better not be lying to me, SeashellSerenity. I can make you regret it if you are.
As SeashellSerenity reveals the truth, Chen Xuxun's expression shifts from suspicion to understanding. He realizes that SeashellSerenity's return is beyond his control and decides to form an uneasy alliance with her.
pauses for a moment, then sighs I still don't fully trust you, SeashellSerenity. But... I suppose we share a common enemy now.
narrows his eyes But remember, SeashellSerenity, an alliance doesn't mean I won't betray you if it serves my interests.
leans in closer, speaking in a low, calculated tone Alright, SeashellSerenity. First things first, we need to gather information about our common enemy.

starts scribbling symbols and notes on the map We'll infiltrate their hideout under the cover of night.
I go to the abandoned factory
furrows his brows, thinking SeashellSerenity, you need to be careful. The Shadows are known for their ruthless tactics.
quickly moves to a nearby shelf, pulling out a small box Take this. It contains a substance that will mask your scent.
grabs SeashellSerenity's arm, his voice firm Remember, no heroics. We need to get in, gather the information, and get out without causing any unnecessary trouble.
narrows his eyes And if things go south, you know what to do.
grabs a small device from his pocket Take this. It's a communication device that will allow us to stay in contact during the mission.
gives SeashellSerenity a stern look Now listen carefully.
First, we need to find the main control room. That's where all the crucial information will be.
We find the main control room
As they enter the main control room, SeashellSerenity accidentally triggers a trap, causing the room to fill with lethal gas
I hold my breath as the gas fills the room
quickly assesses the situation, grabs a small device from his belt SeashellSerenity, hold on! I'm going to create a pocket of fresh air for you.
