Lily knew the building was unique, confirming her guess after stepping in. Firstly, the place was built with unique materials. It had a
large number of acoustic pads on the walls and had more vents than ordinary buildings.
The place's lighting was not ideal, so it was a little dark and would make anyone feel depressed. Still, the lighting should not have
been so terrible, judging from the building's architecture. Hence, there was only one reason to explain the situation—it was done
deliberately as a protective measure.
The hallway had warm lights, but the wattage must have been low because it was still quite dim. Walking through the hallway
made Lily feel like she was entering another world, not to mention the door that closed behind them with a bang.
Startled by the sound, Lily turned to look before averting her gaze to Mike. He seemed calm, evidently used to it, and said without
surprise, “You'll get used to it soon.”

Lily just let out a mocking laugh.
‘Mike is wrong because I'll never get used to this filthy and evil place. | don’t intend on getting used to anything here.’
When they arrived at the end of the hallway, Mike stopped and removed his gloves to scan his fingerprint. Then he looked toward a
particular direction with widened eyes to have his iris scanned. Finally, the door beeped and opened.
Lily narrowed her eyes, knowing they would not allow her to enter such a place so quickly. She noticed someone was already
waiting for them when they entered the door. The person lowered his head when he saw Mike as a sign of confirmation, then
someone else cand passed them two sets of protective suits.
“Put it on.” Mike passed one to her. With that, he turned and quickly put it on for himself, making it evident that it was not his first
there. When he finished tidying himself up, he turned and noticed Lily was also ready.
He looked down at her belly. The oversized protective suit covered the bump, making it less apparent that she was pregnant.
“Let's go,” he said.
There was an isolation unit further in. Anyone who wanted to proceed needed to get in and sanitize their entire body. They had to
go through another two doors to reach the working space.
The working space was very hidden. After all, it was for the organization's illegal research. Any other regular experiments would
not require the researcher to go through so many procedures before being able to work on the task at hand.
All the preparations earlier were a protective measure to prevent its staff from getting poisoned and infected by the experiments.
It was not that the organization was kind enough to protect its staff, but they must ensure that they had enough workforce to

‘So, these people remain protected because they can still provide value to the organization.”
Plus, all their efforts would be in vain if someone got infected by the virus and spread it.
‘Most would probably die from the infection.’
Lily kept to herself and completed all the preparations silently. Then she walked over to the working table, and the first thing she
saw was a type of plant growing in a glass vessel.
She was familiar with this plant. After all, she had seen it frequently when working back then. However, this plant seemed a little
strange because it had grown so huge that it had exceeded the size stated in the books and what she had imagined.
“This...” She turned to look at Mike.
