The heavy metal door slid silently inward, revealing a relatively narrow, pure white transition chamber behind it.
The chamber's walls were smooth and unadorned, with only the ceiling and floor emitting a soft white light. The air was colder than in the corridor, carrying a strong, pungent medicinal smell.
"Please enter the disinfection chamber and stay still." Although the face on the door disappeared, her voice still echoed in the chamber.
Duke obediently walked in, and the metal door behind him closed immediately, enclosing him completely in this pure white space.
A low buzzing sound began, and countless fine blue lights suddenly lit up on the ceiling and surrounding walls.
These lights were not still; they flowed and rotated like living creatures, forming a complex three-dimensional rune array covering the entire chamber.
An intangible energy field instantly enveloped Duke, sweeping back and forth over him.
