Watching him hurriedly leave, Chloe's mouth formed a bitter smile:
"As expected... this isn't going to work, too many people are trying to please him."
The blind girl stood in place for a long time, until Ron's figure completely disappeared into the depths of the passage.

When the heavy bio-metal door sensed his presence and opened automatically, the familiar environment made his tense nerves relax slightly.
"Welcome back, Researcher Ron. You have been away for 223 hours... We have conducted routine maintenance on your laboratory..."
The automated maintenance system on the wall sensed his entry and began to broadcast mechanically.
Under the announcement, the entire laboratory was filled with life and vitality once more.
The bio-sensors on the walls, dormant until now, awakened and emitted a warm welcoming glow.
The various experimental creatures in the petri dishes also became active, as if celebrating the return of their master.
