The street were paved with blue flagstones, marked with the traces of people, ht of history The Sky Clinic was at the end of Garden Street It was a low, blue-tiled house, with reener
It had no facade, only a wooden door set in the stone wall, and the paint on the door had alnboard which read ”The Sky Clinic” on the lintel, Ning Tao would probably have thought he was in front of a poorTao wondered helplessly
Glancing back at the street where he'd co Tao found it empty In terms of appearance and location, the clinic was doomed to fail even if it had not opened yet
”Well, since I' Tao comforted hidao had given him, put it in the lock and opened the door
Behind the door was a roo quietly, but it was not enough to dispel the s Tao's vision
Nothing pertaining to Chen Pingdao was normal, and this clinic was apparently no exception
Ning Tao took a deep breath and walked into the room
After he entered, the door of the clinic slowly and automatically closed, but he didn't realize it
