Darkness is an ocean where people cannot breathe.
Fortunately, Gu Ran could hold his breath for twenty to thirty minutes, within which, he could remain unharmed in the darkness.
Lately, whether influenced by "Parapsychology · Charm Women's Heart Sutra" or "Strange Dream·Cannon Fist," Gu Ran felt his body had improved.

Gu Ran looked around him, seeing nothing, or potentially something, it was just that he couldn't see it.
His body felt like it had dropped into the deep sea, not clear to sight but feeling the descent.
Gu Ran twisted his body, halting the fall. With strength flickering in his limbs, he shot upward like an arrow.
Behind him, a child with a backpack gasped for breath, running frantically on the dark, finger-less field ridges where a moment's inattention could lead to a fall, possibly into the field, or perhaps into a creek covered with sludge.
