Not Enough Understanding, Still Not Enough...

As You Teng's world shattered, Shen Hui and You Teng, who should have appeared immediately, vanished without a trace.

Instead, a large amount of black seeped out, pure black.

Like a curtain, like black light, or simply darkness.

This blackness spread rapidly, and everything it touched seemed to sink into the darkness and disappear without a trace.

The two who left first were completely baffled by what was happening.

But I could sense that this unknown thing held immense terror!

They wanted to escape from here, at least to get away from this scattered darkness.

But as soon as they began to move, they were instantly enveloped in blackness.

In the instant they were enveloped, they felt as if the world, time, space, and everything else stood still for a moment.

A still, boundless darkness relentlessly washed over them.

In this state, they seemed to feel and see a lot, yet they saw and felt nothing at all.

The unknown and the omniscient, two completely different states, began to merge in their minds.

They began to try to understand, and in the process of understanding...

Their expressions, however, began to contort without their realizing it, and their eyes started to fill with fanaticism.

They didn't know, but they knew when they began to try to understand.

They seemed to actually be able to see something, although the concept was very vague.

But at least they saw the You Teng.

Indeed, You Teng's face was already contorted, and his eyes were filled with fanaticism.

This dark, unknown world is like being divided into different layers.

When they reach a consensus, they will move to a deeper level.

That's how they encountered You Teng.

However, since they were both in a state of diminished rationality, they couldn't see the distortion in each other's faces.

For them, everything was normal, perfectly normal.

Because they already understand.

Before they had completely lost their senses, they quickly asked You Teng.

"What are you doing here? What happened?"

"What happened after we left? Where is Shen Hui?"

After the darkness emerged, it was like opening an inexhaustible spring.

After devouring, or rather simply covering the place where they were.

It began to spread to the rest of the area at a terrifying speed.

Roads, streetlights, roadside trees, houses, and the people inside...

Silently, everything vanished into the darkness.

Even the sky is like that.

But from a distance, it just looks like the sky has become darker.

There was no light in the area ahead; perhaps it was just a power outage, or perhaps the place was darkened by clouds.

Currently, no one has noticed the abnormality; darkness is engulfing the city.

You Teng listened to their questions, he suddenly revealed a very comical, yet strangely terrifying, smile.

It's like forcibly prying open someone's mouth, dislocating their jaw to a degree that a normal person cannot achieve.

In the darkness of the same floor, neither of them noticed the fanaticism in each other's eyes or the distortion in their faces.

But now, they sensed distortion and fear on You Teng's face.

At this moment, You Teng looked like a clown, half-squatting on tiptoe, his hands cupped to his ears as if listening to something.

When the two of them tried to ask, You Teng immediately raised his index finger with his other hand to signal for silence.

Then came a sharp, yet hoarse, strangely emphasized sound.

Listen to this.

Is there any sound?

They didn't hear it, but You Teng could, and perhaps they could too.

All you need to do is understand; yes, understand. Everything here is understandable.

There was nothing strange, nothing out of place, nothing frightening.

As long as you understand it yourself, that's fine.

They listened, and gradually, they heard sounds.

Many, many voices.

Those are footsteps, yes, that's right, footsteps!

After they heard it clearly, they looked into the darkness in the distance, towards the source of the sound.

They saw a lot of people, so many.

Just like when they were first swallowed by darkness, they were also people who were just swallowed by darkness.

They seemed so ignorant, so at a loss.

They're so stupid.

Such thoughts crossed their minds, and they even found them amusing.

All you need to understand here is that they were just standing there blankly in the dark.

They decided to help them and show them how to understand.

Walk into the darkness, where there is no concept of space or time.

They quickly approached these people and began to try to make contact.

But as soon as they appeared, these people acted as if they had witnessed some great terror.

They screamed and scattered, disappearing into the darkness and vanishing without a trace.

The two of them were puzzled; they weren't monsters, so why were these people running away?

He shrugged helplessly.

But there were also some "clever" people who began to understand and came to the floor where You Teng and his group were.

The two of them decided to go back to find You Teng, and they crossed the darkness to reach You Teng's side.

But then they discovered that You Teng's condition had changed again.

His eyes were wide open in anger, the veins at the corners of his eyes bulged, and his forehead was covered with deep wrinkles.

It feels like my eyeballs might pop out of their sockets at any moment.

Maintaining this posture, he looked ahead, then occasionally glanced to the side, and then behind.

He then showed excitement, as excited as a child seeing their favorite toy.

The feeling of seeing a snowy scene when someone has never seen snow before, or seeing a majestic mountain when someone has never seen a mountain before.

A genuine, heartfelt, yet strangely peculiar smile.

"Giggle, giggle..."

"I saw it, I saw it, hahaha, I saw it!"

You Teng shouted, as if showing off or announcing something.

The other two looked around at the darkness with puzzled expressions.

What else is there besides darkness?

That's it. There's only darkness here.

By the way, why am I here?

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. It's pretty good here.

"What is that? You Teng, what did you see?"

They asked, but You Teng completely ignored them.

The madness in You Teng's eyes intensified, and his body gradually began to become transparent, as if he were being swallowed by darkness once again.

You Teng did not resist at all; instead, this time she looked at the two of them.

"You'll see when you see it, it's the best thing in the world!"

The You Teng vanished completely, but in the final moments before You Teng disappeared, they seemed to have truly seen something.

There must be something else in this darkness!

The two of them were like children stuck on a nut, determined to find out what else was going on.

They began to understand, and they realized that their understanding was not yet sufficient.

That's not enough...
