Chapter 5285 (Five Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Five) Vast

The Gray Hand asked, “Do you really think that the world will be swallowed by darkness at this moment, or are you saying this on purpose?”

“I… originally believed this,” the man said, “The world… will definitely be swallowed up by darkness. Light… is only temporary. No matter how long the light in a place lasts…, that light will… be swallowed up by darkness sooner or later.”

“Have you adapted to the darkness around you when you said this?” asked the Gray-Handed Man.

“I haven’t adapted… and… I can’t adapt.” said the man.

“That is to say, deep in your heart, you actually still yearn for light. It is with this yearning for light that you said, ‘The world will inherently be swallowed up by darkness’?” asked the Gray-Handed Man.

“That’s right.” The man said, “It seems shameful, but…but I really do.”

After saying this, the man felt as if his words had other meanings, so he quickly added: “I… yearned for light at that moment because I was in a special situation. It was not my… normal thought. So… so even though it is shameful enough, but… but my heart has not yet… yet given up the darkness, and I don’t… want to merge with the darkness… “

The Gray Hand asked, “Do you think it is important to not give up the darkness, to become one with it?”

“Yes, it is very important.” The man said, “The world originally belongs to darkness. If a person does not want to merge with the darkness, how can he live? In order to survive, for the future, I must get used to the darkness and merge with it.”

After saying this, the man realized that he had not finished speaking, so he quickly added: “Oh… I just said… I also said… including them, they have been swallowed by the darkness… I said that this is… right.”

“But didn’t you see a little light?” the Gray Hand asked. “Yes,” the man said.

“That light, do you think it is where they are?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” said the man.

“Do you think those people are in that light?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I think… it should be there.” The man said, “I don’t know how vast the world in that light is… and I don’t know if those people will not be able to hear me if they go to a farther place…”

“Why do you say that they, too, have been swallowed by the darkness?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Whether it was actually true or not… I can’t really say.” The man said, “But at that time, from my perspective… that little bit of light… was surrounded by darkness. Even if what I saw was not so real because of where I was standing, that was still what I saw. So I naturally said it based on what I saw. What I saw was… darkness with a little bit of light. And I thought… I thought there were people in that light, they… were all in that light. Even though… even though those people might be surrounded by… there might be light… but… but even that little bit of light has been surrounded by darkness… then… then I should be able to say that they have been swallowed up by the darkness.”

“Actually, it’s just because the light was surrounded by darkness at that time. Is that what you said?” asked the Gray Hand Man.
