A sudden, loud cry echoed through the building, "Ah!!! Abnormal!!!" The sound jolted Xu Mo awake, who was still groggy from sleep. His eyes, heavy with fatigue, struggled to focus.
The commotion was coming from Master He Dong's room. Xu Mo, still half-asleep, groaned as he tried to make sense of the situation. He dashed to the bathroom and slammed the door behind him, his heart racing.
In the bathroom, Xu Mo encountered an awkward and embarrassing scene: Lorna Dane, sitting on the toilet, completely exposed and visibly distressed. Her face was flushed with both anger and embarrassment. The sight was so uncomfortable that Xu Mo could barely keep his composure.
Lorna's voice was filled with hysteria. "What kind of perverted teacher are you?!"
Xu Mo, attempting to smooth over the situation, stammered, "Lorna, it's not what it looks like. I was up late working on the new manga chapters. I didn't see anything!"
Lorna's anger was palpable. She had only realized later that the bathroom door was not locked properly. Xu Mo's accidental intrusion had made the situation worse, and she could only imagine the worst about his intentions.
After a few moments, Lorna's heartbeat began to calm. The noise outside, however, made her increasingly anxious. The sound of approaching footsteps made her worry that Xu Mo was returning, perhaps to make things even more uncomfortable.
Just as she began to reconsider her reaction, she heard Jiali's voice from outside the door. "It's me, Sister Lorna. I heard everything, didn't I?"
Jiali's curiosity was piqued, and she pressed her ear to the door, eager to discover what had happened. Lorna, now trying to regain her composure, responded with a calm, though strained, "No, it's nothing."
Jiali was momentarily confused but decided to leave. Inside, Lorna used her powers to make quick adjustments to the situation, though she was still feeling the sting of embarrassment. Her emotions were in turmoil, and she could only think of hiding her red face.
As Lorna wrestled with her feelings, she heard Jiali's voice again, "Sister Lorna, do you have feelings for Xu Mo?"
The question cut deep, and Lorna's anger flared. Her hair, previously dyed black, began to shift to its natural dark green as her powers manifested. "Gali!" she shouted in frustration.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Xu Mo had just left to buy breakfast when he saw Gali's purple hair flash by, followed by the enraged Lorna, who was now wielding pots and pans as she chased after Gali.
Xu Mo could only shiver as he witnessed the chaos unfolding around him.
On a different note, a helicopter descended from the sky, casting a golden light as it landed on a tall building. A young man with curly blonde hair, Danny Rand, stepped out with determination. "Danny, don't be impulsive," a woman advised.
Danny, clearly frustrated, clenched his fists. "New York, I'm finally back."
Colleen Wing, his companion, reminded him, "Let's find some help first. The righteous police in Hell's Kitchen could be a good ally. It's important to address the situation effectively."
Danny and Colleen made their way from the building, preparing to confront the unfolding chaos in New York, knowing that they needed to act decisively to restore order.
