Afterward

The darkness completely vanished, and Shen Hui returned to the ground from the highest level of darkness.

As for You Teng, including the two Lord of Night Preselected Candidate, they have all disappeared.

Including those who fall into darkness, who die in darkness, they will return to darkness.

So the corpse, which exploded into fireworks, disappeared into the darkness.

There was not a single trace, as if these people did not exist in this world.

Inside the World Association, members who were organizing the evacuation of residents watched as the darkness vanished, but it all seemed so abrupt.

I didn't understand what this was before, but now it's gone.

Chi Yan, who was in contact with the World Association headquarters, also immediately received the message.

Although the reason is unknown, the disappearance of darkness is at least a good thing.

She immediately ordered the area where the darkness had appeared to be temporarily sealed off, and sent people to investigate what was happening inside.

Are the people who disappeared before safe?

After making these decisions, Chi Yan suddenly remembered Shen Hui Shen Hui immediately called him.

This kid's always running around; could he be in the darkness from before?

However, the call was answered immediately after it was made.

"President, I'm alright. I'm outside the darkness."

Shen Hui naturally knew why Chi Yan had called him.

"That's good, as long as everything's alright. I have a lot of things to take care of here, that's all."

After confirming with Shen Chi Yan Shen Hui immediately hung up the phone.

However, Shen Hui remained silent for a moment while staring at the phone that was making a beeping sound.

It seems that... I myself am the cause of all this trouble.

However, Shen Hui didn't feel surprised or guilty. He was just wondering whether he should tell Chi Yan that there was no need to investigate anymore, that everything was fine.

Having experienced the creation of the Creation World, any creator will eventually lose their reverence for life in the long river of history.

Not to mention the Death World that Shen Hui possesses.

Shen Hui then shook his head, dismissing the strange thought from his mind.

Shen Hui suddenly had a completely new understanding of the Tarot Club's doctrines.

What is the truth of this world, this universe?

Are they beings imprisoned within the created universe?

Shen Hui realized that the commotion he had caused would likely attract the attention of various powerful forces.

I wonder if Tarot Club knows about this.

After all, the powers and talents within the Tarot Club, as well as the various members, especially the Fool, are all too mysterious.

Thinking of this, Shen Hui took out his phone and called Zhiyue.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before being answered.

"What's up?"

Zhiyue's voice came through.

"I want to say that you know about the darkness that appeared before..."

Before Shen Hui could finish speaking, the other party interrupted Shen Hui.

"Of course, not only do I know, but all the members of the Tarot Club know, and they also know it was you who did it."

"Uh... how did you know?"

As soon as Shen Hui uttered those words, he immediately realized that the other party might be trying to trick him into revealing information!

But Zhiyue's subsequent words made Shen Hui realize that wasn't the case.

"The Fool summoned most of us, and I think he's right."

"Okay, if it's him... then yes."

Since even the Fool knows, Shen Hui couldn't help but worry: could there be others who know?

It seems I'll need to keep a lower profile in the future.

"What are those dark things? We asked the Fool before, but what he said... you know, was all mystical."

Zhiyue's tone carried a mocking tone toward the Fool, like that of a riddle teller.

However, as someone who should know the answer to Zhiyue's question, I found it difficult to give it.

Finally, he said something very similar to the Fool.

"Darkness can be anything. Darkness amplifies your fears, confuses your senses, and whatever you perceive may be what you believe to be."

As for the name Cthulhu, Shen Hui thought it best for the other party not to know it.

"Tch, just like what the Fool said."

Zhiyue was unhappy with Shen Hui's answer to the question, but Shen Hui could only respond in kind.

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "Why did the Fool summon you? Is it about some action we discussed earlier?"

"Yes, it won't hurt to tell you, since you've already had your chance."

"It's about the Chaos Forbidden Domain, but I don't know the specifics."

Zhiyue's tone also revealed curiosity, a curiosity about the specific actions the Fool had mentioned.

"The Chaos Forbidden Domain?"

Shen Hui muttered to himself, "Since even the Fool are going to take action there."

That definitely looks like something extraordinary.

It's unclear how the quota for going to the Chaos Forbidden Domain is determined, but Shen Hui has indeed already had a chance.

Haotian had already agreed to it.

Feeling there was nothing left to ask, he remained silent for a moment before Zhiyue's voice came through.

"Anything else? If not, I'll hang up."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Hui asked, "Um, has Qingxue woken up yet?"

Since Qingxue was taken away by Zhiyue during this time and hasn't contacted me, she most likely hasn't woken up.

But so much time has passed, and even Huang Lingheng has woken up and is now able to move around freely and is slowly recovering.

"So you still remember? I thought you gave her to me."

Zhiyue said something sarcastic.

Shen Hui didn't dare to refute.

"He's awake, but not fully awake."

"Her condition is strange. I think you'd better come and see her; it might really be related to you."

"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow if I'm free. Where do you live?"

Shen Hui wrote down Zhiyue's address, planning to go there after visiting Hong Ye's stronghold the next day.

Looking at the empty streets, Shen Hui began to walk outside.

Along the way, I also met people who didn't succumb to deep darkness and eventually returned to reality.

They all looked like they had dementia, except for muttering something incoherently.

Or they would draw wildly on the ground using anything that could leave a mark.

Their condition...

They are very similar to the people imprisoned in Arkham Asylum in the world of Shen Hui's Death World.

Shen Hui ignored them and walked past them, but as he passed by them...

All of them turned around in an instant, staring intently at Shen Hui.

Shen Hui was startled, thinking these people had gone mad and wanted to hit him.

After all, nobody understands the world of the mentally ill, and hitting someone isn't illegal...

But Shen Hui knew he had misunderstood, because then, these people actually knelt down on the ground.

They began to kowtow to Shen Hui, muttering incantations, but these were all incomprehensible words and embellishments.

"Holy crap, these people are absolutely insane!"

Shen Hui didn't know whether it was because of his identity or simply because these people had gone mad.

The best thing to do now is to leave here as soon as possible, because the World Association people are coming soon.
