When morning dawned, the first thing Damien did was go directly to Long Chen's residence to check up on him.
Research operations were temporarily ceased during investigation, so Damien didn't have any work to do anyway.
But this ceasing was most likely just on the surface. It only applied to ordinary researchers like Damien who "didn't know" about Evotech's dark side.
As for projects like the Chimera research or Core Extraction, they were likely still in development.
Regardless, when Damien stepped through the portal, he found himself in a relatively large studio apartment.
Damien was currently in the large living room. Connected to this room was the kitchen, with the front door of the apartment also being accessible.
Directly in front of him, there was a hallway where Long Chen's bedroom, bathrooms, and guest bedroom were located.
