Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4651 (Four Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty One) Difficulties

"So when you hear him say that again, you feel differently?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes, it's a comparison." The man said, "I think that accepting him as my father from the bottom of my heart is... a huge insult to me... So... in comparison, I feel that repeating what he said... and being challenged by him occasionally, it seems... the sense of shame is not that great."

"What did you do after he said he couldn't hear?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I just asked him if he was deliberately not hearing.” said the man.

The Gray Hand said, "Did he answer you?"

"No." The man said, "He said I... said I don't use my brain."

"What about you?" the Gray Hand Man asked again.

"I didn't know what he meant, so I asked him. What good can it do if I use my brain?" said the man.

"Did he hear that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I think he must have heard it, but...he pretended that he still couldn't hear me, and continued talking to me." The man said, "He said that if I use my brain, I will...know a way to make him hear it."

The Gray Hand Man said, "Have you ever thought about it?"

"I didn't have time to think about it, so I tried to speak... I didn't use the language of that world..." the man said, "I repeated his words, using the language I use now... I said the word 'attack'."

"Did he say he heard me now?" asked the Gray Hand.

"I think he heard it, but... but he didn't even indicate whether he heard it or not." The man said, "He just moved his lips again and repeated what he said to me."

"You didn't hear it this time?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Whenever he asked me to repeat something, he...he just kept silent on purpose. I didn't hear what he said, so I guessed it...by his lip movements," said the man.

Gray Hand asked, "What do you think he said this time?"

"I think it's still the word 'attack'." The man replied.

"You just said those two words again?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I just said to him 'Another attack!'" the man replied. "What language did you say it in?" the Gray Hand asked.

“Just don’t use the language of that world.” said the man.

"Do you think he heard it?" asked the Gray Hand.

"He must have heard it. Then he...he didn't say anything like I didn't use my brain." said the man.

"And then what?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He spoke again," the man said.

"What was said?" the Gray Hand said, "You didn't hear it, did you?"

"Yes, he didn't make any sound at all, he just... moved his mouth," the man replied.

"Guess what you mean by the shape of his mouth?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The man said, "I guess he said the words 'snakes and centipedes!' Because he said it with gnashing teeth... It felt like... It felt like he was telling the snakes and centipedes to obey his orders."

"What happened after you said these four words?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He told me to repeat what he just said." said the man.

"You just repeated it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Repeatedly." the man replied.

“Are you simply not using the language of that world?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied, “That’s right.”

"Did he say he heard it or he didn't?" asked the Gray Hand.

"He...he didn't say anything." said the man.
