Angel briefly described his experiences in the darkness, but he did not mention being swallowed by Spotty Dog. That involved his own secrets, and Angel had no intention of revealing them casually. Besides, he had not completely let down his guard around Feng.
After hearing him out, Feng showed a trace of puzzlement. "What you said is the same as what Rekton said back then. He too was washed over by a mass of meaningless mysterious symbols.
