I whirled around and saw no one. No psychotic mad scientists, anyway."Jackpot, Max! Jackpot!" It was was Fang, and he was giggling hysterically. For those of you just joining us, Fang doesn't giggle. Especially hysterically.So for a second, this seemed like one of the weirder dreams of recent days.
Max suddenly turned around but found no one there except Fang, who was excitedly celebrating with laughter. Typically, Fang is not known to giggle, much less hysterically, making this moment unusual. It created a bizarre, dream-like atmosphere, leaving Max bewildered by the strange behavior.
In this scene, Fang's unexpected excitement contrasts with his usual demeanor, hinting at something extraordinary happening. The oddity of Fang's reaction adds to the surreal and tense mood of the story, drawing the reader into the mysterious events unfolding around Max.
