Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5072 (Five Thousand and Seventy-Two) Shame
Gray Hands knew that the way he interacted with Brown Hands had changed a long time ago, but he still didn't expect Brown Hands to say such a thing. It was precisely because Brown Hands said such a thing that Gray Hands decided to say it himself.

"It's okay, you and I are the same." said the man with gray hands.

Then the Gray Hand Man immediately looked at the man and asked, "You just said you need to think about it carefully. Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought of it...almost, but...but I really can't say it out loud at the moment." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "Why?"

"Because I feel... ashamed." said the man.

"Why is it shameful?" the Gray Hand Man asked again.

"Because that angle is really...not suitable for me." the man replied.

The Gray Hand asked, "Why not?"

"I shouldn't think about the problem from that perspective... I really shouldn't... Although I think that I thought that way at the time not because... I wanted to think that way, but... but I did... think that way." The man said.

"What do you think made you think that way when you didn't want to think that way?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Probably... it's because I used to ask that spellcaster to solve my problem... and now something has changed here..." the man replied.

"Since this is the reason and you don't want to think that way, why do you feel ashamed?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said, "But... I thought that way. I really thought that way. No matter what the reason was, I thought that way... So... So I... naturally felt ashamed."

"That's not necessary." The Gray Hand Man said, "Since you don't want to think that way, there's no need for you to feel ashamed."

"But I... still feel... that..." the man said, "It seems difficult for me to do it..."

"What is there to be ashamed of?" Gray Hand asked. "It's just an idea. You didn't do anything."

"I... I, a person of such status, actually... actually stood at that angle..." the man said.

He couldn't continue talking. "What angle? Tell me." The Gray Hand Man said.

"I really think... it's too shameful to say it out loud." said the man.

"Even if you don't say it out loud, do you already think so?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes, but...but if I don't say it...it seems like I can deceive myself." said the man.

"What are you lying to yourself about?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Deceiving yourself... you haven't thought about it that way." the man replied.

The Gray Hand asked again: "Have you often lied to yourself before?"

"In the past... yes... I cheated often." The man replied.

"Can you fool yourself into believing it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"This... seems... seems..." the man said, "I can't explain it clearly."

"Why can't you explain it clearly?" asked the man with gray hands.

"Because the situation is... different every time," the man said.

"So, sometimes you can trick yourself into believing something, but sometimes you can't. Is that right?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

“You can…you can say that.” said the man.

"Do you think you can fool yourself into believing it this time?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"This time... I... I feel like it's going to be... difficult." The man said, "Almost... impossible."
