The huge blue-faced demons nearby were probably doctors.
I didn't know what the heads with long tongues were, but there were definitely more of them than just that one blue-faced demon.
The glowing flies might have symbolized the light in Wu Mingle's heart.
I tried to pick out places like the corners of the room through Wu Mingle's wavering vision.
