Huo Ling slowly opened his eyes and what he first seen was darkness. His brain was muddled for a while before his memories slowly returned. I'm dead, was what his first thought upon wakening. However, if I am dead, then why am I still 'alive'? he thought before he blinked his eyes to try adjusting to the darkness.
Fortunately, it wasn't fruitless. He slowly saw two tall figures are standing in the darkness. He narrowed his eyes to squint, trying to see the features of the two figures. They are wearing dark clothes, making it like they are blending, one with the darkness that's why he didn't notice them earlier. However, now that his eyes have finally adapted to his surroundings, he can finally see the vague profile of the two figures.
