The gas let out an eerie laugh, a sound that could send chills down anyone's spine—even if they didn't have ears.
"That's right. There's no reason to leave. Stay here with me... forever."
Just as Feng Fan's grip on Luo Li started to loosen, Straw Hat hummed, snapping him out of the gas's spell.
Feng Fan's arms tensed, and his eyes shot open. "Fuck off!"
Black flames erupted from his body, engulfing him as he dashed straight through the gas, forcing his way right through its twisted form. The flames made the gas' face contort in agony, its haunting smile warping into a grimace. It screeched in pain, giving Feng Fan just enough time to escape.
With Luo Li still cradled in his arms, Feng Fan bolted through the same door they had entered. His knees buckled as he hit the ground outside, panting heavily. When he looked back, his eyes widened—the abandoned hospital was gone, replaced by the modern enterprise building from before.
