Chapter 4102 (Four Thousand One Hundred and Two) Fear of Light
When the man said this, he paused, thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was strange for him to do that.

Tie Hongyan waited for him to continue.

"It's like this... I always hoped to see light, but there was no light. I thought that there was no light in the dark, so I got used to it." The man said, "After I got used to it, I suddenly saw those little bits of light, and I was really scared. Very scared."

"Very scared?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yes, Young Chief, I was not very old at that time." The man said, "Maybe I thought that darkness was normal, and the sudden appearance of light would break the previous... I don't know what to call breaking... Anyway, something was broken... I felt scared. The light was so little... little by little..."

"If a large area of ​​light appeared at that time and enveloped you in the light, would you be afraid?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Maybe... I think it's less scary than a little light?" the man said, "Not necessarily. I can't really explain it. Anyway, when I get used to the pitch black, I will be afraid of the sudden appearance of light."

Tie Hongyan said: "The fireflies in this light bar are much bigger than the ones you have seen before, right?"

"Yes, young chieftain," the man replied, "but the light is still spotty."

"Will it be much better if they are connected into one piece?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Maybe... maybe not..." the man said, "Anyway, I think it's pretty scary."

"If fireflies can't glow and can only fly in the dark, would you still be afraid?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Not afraid." the man replied.

"Wouldn't you be afraid if it flew into your face?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"No," the man said, "I think it's normal for something to fly into my face at night. I can kill it or drive it away."

"Do you really want to leave here now?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I... must follow the orders of the young patriarch before I can act." said the man.

"I want to ask for your thoughts." Tie Hongyan said.

"Is it useful...if I speak out my thoughts...?" the man said.

"It's useful." Tie Hongyan said. "You won't be punished if you tell it out?" the man asked again.

"Of course not." Tie Hongyan said.

"I want to leave here," the man said.

"Sure." Tie Hongyan said.

"What?" The man felt as if he had heard it wrong.

"I mean, you can leave here." Tie Hongyan said.

"Aren't I here to work for the young patriarch?" the man asked. He was trembling when he said it. He couldn't be sure whether Tie Hongyan said "yes" just because she really agreed with him leaving, or because he had offended her and she wanted to deal with him in some way. Although Tie Hongyan said that she would not punish him if he said it out loud, he still felt uneasy.

"But you are afraid and want to leave." Tie Hongyan said.

"Then..." the man said, "Young Patriarch, is there really nothing else?"

"No more." Tie Hongyan said.

The man seemed to want to say something else, but swallowed it back.

Tie Hongyan continued to ask: "If anyone else wants to leave now, can you tell me directly?"

"Really?" asked another.

"Really." Tie Hongyan said.

"Will I not be punished even if I tell it?" asked another person from Tiecang.

"No." Tie Hongyan said.

"You two don't want to stay here any longer, right?" Tie Hongyan asked the two people who had just asked her questions.
