Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5251 (five thousand two hundred and fifty-one)

"In my situation at the time, I did think of... this," the man said.

"But the thing you intend to steal is something you think you should not indulge in and will wear down your will?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man thought for a moment and said, "Yes... yes... people are so contradictory."

"Not everyone is like this." said the Gray Hand Man.

"Yeah, that's right." The man said, "It's only people like me... with limited abilities that would be like this. If... a person is as incapable as the blue-armored man, who can... rob anything? People without abilities... can never rob anything. But if you are like me, not only have abilities, but also... have abilities that ordinary people don't have, then... then you should be able to rob whatever you want. You said not everyone is like this, I... admit it, and have to admit it. I am this kind of person, with some abilities, but... but not so great that I can surpass ordinary people. I... will naturally rob some things, and the things I want to rob may actually wear down my will, but... but at that moment, I was in the darkness and cold... I just needed it. The contradiction is me, that is, me."

"You haven't answered my question directly." The Gray Hand said, "Do you think you have an instinctive yearning for light and warmth?"

That person said: "Answer directly...Yes, I should answer directly. In front of someone like you, I have no other choice."

The Gray Hand said, "Go ahead."

"Yes." said the man.

After saying this, the man felt extremely uncomfortable, as if the concept he had held for many years in the real world was shattered by a punch.

That person said, "I really shouldn't do this! I... can't do this! I am so... so shameful! How can I yearn for something as illusory as that?" The Gray Hands person said, "I just said it, it's instinctive."

"Instinct?" the man said, "That's even more shameful. I can't have this instinct... If I admit that I have this instinct, then... can it be said that... I was born to be worn down? I can't do that! I can't!"

The Gray Hand said, "You don't have to be like this. It's not that important to you whether you have instinct or not."

The man said, "I can't admit that I'm that kind of person. I can't be so shameful... I'm from Tiecang. I'm from Tiecang who can live in darkness and cold. I should... adapt to being with darkness and cold. Of course... it's the kind of darkness and cold in the real world, not the kind in that world. I... I can adapt to it, it's not like that. I can't admit that I have that kind of instinct."

The Gray Hand said, "You've already given me your answer. What you just said must be the truth, right?"

"Yes! Yes!" the man said, "I will definitely only tell you the truth... I will never tell a lie. You... you are not an ordinary person, and I... I can't afford to offend you. You are someone I can't afford to offend... you all are. You won't doubt me, right?"

The Gray Hand said, "Yes, I don't doubt you. You don't have to think that it's so difficult to face your instinct. It will make you uncomfortable."

The man said, "It's so uncomfortable! I'm already...uncomfortable!"
