He Ao casually bisected the monster rushing towards the elevator, the slowly closing elevator doors conceal his face.
The elevator was not shut down, and floor after floor lit up one by one.
The elevator ascended at an abnormally fast pace and, just when it was about to reach the top floor, gradually slowed down.
Ding—
At the moment the elevator came to a stop, the doors opened, allowing a thin layer of fog that reached He Ao's calves to spread into the elevator.
He Ao stepped out of the elevator, a spacious garden that seemed to be among the clouds appeared before his eyes.
Verdant low bushes, flowers in full bloom, a twisting path made of scattered stones stretched deep into the garden.
And this whole garden, bathed in a mist that barely covered the ground.
He Ao removed the makeshift mask from his face and followed the path deeper inside.
His lab coat and overcoat were both damaged in the recent battle, red and white blood smeared all over him.
