Boss Lu looked at me as if Columbus had discovered a new continent, and I didn't understand what was so remarkable about collecting a steel helmet.
"It's truly surprising that the Leng Family produced such a peculiar person like you!" Boss Lu's dubbed tone came out again.
"I've heard that Leng Family people pride themselves as descendants of the phoenix, leaving no treasure untouched, but it seems there are also those who like scrap metal."
All Boss Lu's recovered energy was spent on talking; like all villains, she was exceptionally verbose.
"You and Professor Chen truly have a matched affinity. No wonder he goes to great lengths to enter the tomb to find you; you're practically a natural pair."
Her last sentence, clearly sarcastic, set off Miss Scream's nerves.
Previously drooping and whimpering about how her bones were falling apart, Miss Scream immediately sat upright and stared wide-eyed, asking, "What? Who's a pair with whom?"
