After Goemon Ishikawa tied up Daisuke Jigen, Qin Xiao approached him.
Goemon obediently handed a roll of duct tape to Qin Xiao, looking quite cooperative.
"Handsome, wrap it a few more times. They're both vicious criminals—if it's not tight enough, they'll easily slip away."
"Me too! Me too! I love bondage games!"
Fujiko Mine pressed against Qin Xiao's leg, gazing up at him with smoldering eyes.
"Bitch! I knew we shouldn't have come to rescue you!"
Goemon and Daisuke shouted in unison.
If it weren't for rescuing Fujiko, the two of them wouldn't have ended up in this mess.
Yet, Fujiko paid no attention to their curses.
Right now, her eyes were completely filled with Qin Xiao; she had no room left for anyone else's voice.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's spider-sense flashed a warning.
Before he could react, a pillar of fire roared toward them, accompanied by a blistering wave of heat.
The blast wave instantly hurled Qin Xiao aside.
In such a confined space, the force of the explosion was magnified tenfold.
After a few agonizing seconds, the shockwave's aftermath finally subsided.
Qin Xiao propped himself up against the wall and checked his body over.
Though uninjured, he ached all over.
Smoke now filled the entire equipment room.
The explosion had destroyed the water and heating pipes, sending steam and water hissing out together.
The emergency evacuation lights had flickered on, casting an eerie red glow across the room.
