Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5040 (Five Thousand and Forty)

"Destroy people's will?" said the man with gray hands.

"Yes, that's what I thought at that time...that kind of...environment will wear away people's will...If I suddenly feel in that kind of environment...feel that it's actually nice to be bathed in the spring sun, and...and indulge in it...then...then I would be intoxicated by hypocrisy...When...when I return to the real environment again...when I face the cruelty of the world, then...will I face more pain because my will has been worn away? Although...although...I thought at that time that the possibility of me having that kind of good feeling was actually not great." The man answered.

The Gray Hand asked again, "So you think you might also feel good about being bathed in the spring sun?"

"I... was just worried at the time..." the man replied.

"So you really can hide?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It depends. Sometimes... sometimes... I will deliberately hide. But other times I... I'm too busy... and maybe I won't think about it on purpose." said the man.

"Have you ever walked in the spring sunshine when you were not thinking about it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." said the man.

"But it's not as good as you thought. Do you really feel good to be bathed in the spring sun?" asked the man with gray hands.

"No...never," said the man.

"Have you ever thought that your fear of losing your will was unnecessary?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I don't think it's redundant." said the man.

"Are you thinking this way purely about the spring sun, or is it also referring to something else?" the Gray Hands asked. "Many things are connected," the man said.

"Hearing what you said, what else did you think of when you talked about the spring sunshine?" asked the man with gray hands.

"You know I just thought of something else?" the man said, "Yes... yes... you already know what I'm thinking... this... this is nothing new."

The Gray Hand Man thought that since the person thought he knew everything, he should just let him think as he pleased and he didn't need to explain much. This way, the other person would be more likely to tell him the truth.

The Gray Hand Man said, "You haven't answered me yet. What else did you think of just now?"

"I'll answer... I'll answer. Even though you already know it, but... but as long as you ask, I'll... answer." The man said, "I... I just thought of... some of the questions you asked me before, and even some of the scenarios that the spellcaster asked me to imagine earlier."

"What aspect?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said: "Just...just imagine other possibilities...that kind of thing. For example...for example, imagine that when someone is being bullied, someone comes out to help the bullied person...this kind of..."

"What did you think of?" the Gray Hands Man asked again.

That person said, "Actually, I think sometimes I... I don't like to imagine certain scenarios... Maybe it has something to do with not wanting to... let my will be worn away... I... I don't know... I don't know how to say this... Anyway... that's what I mean... It's just that... I feel that some things are... connected. I'm not hiding it from you on purpose, but I don't know how to say it..."
