"Chik!"
The sound of the electronic door opening rang through the corridor.
Kikuoka Seijiro, who had been waiting in the corridor, turned toward the sound and looked in the direction of the electronic door. He then saw Luo Zhen walk out of the hospital room with an expressionless face.

However...
"You should know that
