The underground laboratory has undergone significant changes recently.
A month ago, it was just a damp, dark cellar built with rough stone bricks.
Mold grew in the corners, and the air was filled with the scent of earth and decaying wood; the gas lamp's light could not illuminate every corner, leaving some shadows hidden from sight.
Now, silver-white metal has replaced those stone bricks, covering every inch of the walls.
It extends from the floor to the ceiling, fitting seamlessly at the joints, as if the space was carved out of one massive metal ingot.
The metal surface emits a soft luminescent white light, which is evenly stable, casting no shadows throughout the entire laboratory.
Walking inside feels as if you are constantly under the illumination of a shadowless lamp.
The space is filled with experimental equipment.
On a row of long tables along the wall, various glass vessels are neatly arranged.
Beakers, test tubes, petri dishes, distillation bottles...
