The two walked into the circular containment prison, a semi-enclosed space resembling a Pac-Man labyrinth. In the control room near the entrance, several people clad in blue work uniforms were busy.
The entrance to the containment prison featured a gate similar to those at airports. No matter what it was scanning, Chen Ke felt that simply walking through it might trigger an alarm since this was the Foundation in 2137, not the Administration Bureau in 2009.
The staff members, peering through the window and seeing Xu Jing and Chen Ke, sensed nothing unusual; after all, Xu Jing's clearance was exceptionally high within the Foundation, granting her access to this area.
They routinely activated the scanning mechanism, and behind the gate, blue lights flickered.
"Please enter one at a time, Miss Xu Jing. Is this a new agent?" the staff member announced over the intercom, while others were occupied with various tasks in their seats.
