Arno turned around and flashed Chen Lun a brilliant smile.
"But I'm still glad to have met you, Jack."
Chen Lun looked at Arno and suddenly felt an inexplicable oppression.
"Arno, do you still remember who you are? Can I help you...help the real you, out there, escape from the dark abyss?"
Arno shook his head.
"Thank you, Jack, but you can't help me...you're still too weak, unable to even penetrate the second layer of the Spirit World, and it might even endanger your life.
Moreover, I might not accept your help, because it's my own choice."
He pulled a ring off his finger and stuffed it into Chen Lun's palm, then firmly patted Chen Lun's shoulder, revealing a radiant smile.
With a bang.
Chen Lun felt the world spinning around him, and he was thrown into the well by Arno.
In the last moment of darkness, he could only hear Arno's fading footsteps and a faint voice:
"I don't remember who I am, but I won't forget my mission...to hunt the darkness, forever."
