Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-e] electricity plant fighting against a gigantic electric 牛 crab that has crawled out of the pipes there. She rides atop a 牛 cow and wields a 刀 sword. She charges the 蟹 crab and the 角 horns of the 牛 cow impale it. Xena then gets off and finishes off the 蟹 crab with her 刀 sword, splitting it open. Out from inside come a bunch of electric 虫 insects that scatter all over the tile of the bathroom.
