XiaoPu inspected the cell, fingers trailing over the cold metal, searching for a weakness, a lock, anything.
"PuPu, PuPu," a toddler's voice rang in the distance.
"..." XiaoPu's brows furrowed, 'Wasn't that just now Stinky Bun's voice?' He wondered, having no idea what a bizarre scene had just unfolded outside.
