Su Jiyai's gaze darted to Dr. Mei, who was standing over Jake with a twisted smile, her attention fully focused on him.
She looked as if she were savoring the moment, enjoying the fear in Jake's eyes as the machines around him hummed ominously.
Dr. Mei didn't even notice Su Jiyai's growing anger or the subtle shift in the air.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jiyai narrowed her eyes, focusing on Dr. Mei's figure.
She muttered a single word under her breath, barely audible but filled with intent: "Portal."
The air behind Dr. Mei shimmered for a split second, and then, to Su Jiyai's astonishment, a swirling portal appeared, its edges crackling with unstable energy.
Dr. Mei froze, her smile faltering as she noticed the change in the air.
She turned just in time to see the portal behind her, eyes widening in shock.
But before she could react, the portal surged forward, its pull irresistible.
