This quote talks about the dark nature of humans. It says that even if a person looks good from the outside, if you look at the inside of a human's mind, you will see that they have a lot of bad thoughts.
"Dark creatures" here symbolise negative feelings like jealousy, hate, anxiety etc. So even if from the surface you only see positive feelings, if you look to the very bottom of the heart (all the way into the bottom of the heart) you will see that every person harbours negative feelings as well.

Q:
What is the difference between delve and search ?
A:
I feel that delve is a more emotive word, and often times shows someone concentrating and looking deep into something. There needs to be a target; something that is being looked into. Usually it is more commonly used when looking for information or data.
“don’t delve into that case too much, you might find something you don’t like.”
^ in that sentence, the “case” is the ‘target’ that is being looked into.
As for search, it is more of an action word. Usually it is used when looking for physical objects, and also information or data. “I think it is best if we search that area for your missing dog.”
I hope that helps.
