Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4793 (Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-Three) Horizon

"You didn't say anything?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"No." said the man.

"Where's he?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He said... it was what I was thinking of." The man said, "He also said that since he had already told me what it was, I could... I could say what I was thinking without worrying about saying it wrong."

"Did you say that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I didn't say it right away," the man said.

"Are you worried that what you say might come back to haunt you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes, I'm worried... worried that he is trying to trick me into telling me something... so that it will be easier for him to torture me in a more painful way..." said the man.

"Will he force you to tell me?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The man said, "He just forced me to say it."

"What did he say to you?" asked the Gray Hand.

"He said... he said if I didn't say anything, this... thing would open my eyes." said the man.

"You said that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes," the man said, "but I just told him...what he thought I was thinking."

"You just didn't name what you were thinking of?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” The man said, “At that time, I simply…didn’t dare to casually say the name of that thing. Because…because I felt that he asked me to say it…seemed…seemed to have a purpose.”

"What happened to him after you said that?" The Gray Hand Man asked. The man replied, "He said... yes... he knew what I was thinking, and that I thought that thing was... something that could prove he was my father. He asked me if he was right."

"How did you answer?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I immediately...told him...that it was not right." said the man.

"What you were thinking of at the time was definitely not what he said." The Gray Hand Man said, "Why do you think he said that to you?"

"It was intentional...definitely intentional." said the man.

"Do you think so now, or did you think so then?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"At that time," the man said, "that's what I thought at that time."

"Have you ever thought that he might have guessed wrong?" The Gray Hand asked, "Because after that four-sided thing rises up, it will affect his understanding of your inner thoughts?"

"I don't think so." The man said, "I don't have that kind of...thought at all."

"Did you still think at that time that he could accurately understand what you were thinking?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"That's right." said the man.

"Then why do you think he said that on purpose?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It was... by humiliating me and making me deny... making me deny that what he said was right, and then... then asking me what was right, I... I said the name of that thing." The man said, "I really didn't want to say the name of that thing after it had grown bigger, because... because I felt that if I said the name... then... something might... attack me immediately."

"Why do you feel something will immediately attack you if you say that name?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Actually, at that time... there was not only one reason." The man replied, "The reason is not so clear in my mind."
