Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5252 (Five Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Two) Innate

"You don't have to think like that." said the Gray Hand Man.

"I can't do it," the man said.

After hearing this, Gray Hand suddenly remembered that sometimes he wanted to give up certain ideas but couldn't. He also remembered that he was sometimes temporarily controlled, so he wanted to ask the other party a question. After considering the danger, he still asked: "Do you think you can avoid making yourself uncomfortable if you are in the real world?"

"I definitely can't control it." the man replied.

“You think that the reason you can’t help feeling uncomfortable isn’t because you’re temporarily controlled by some force, right?” asked the Gray-Handed Man.

"That's right." The man said, "This...is really not temporary."

The Gray Hand said, "When you discover that you have that instinct, you feel uncomfortable. Do you think this has something to do with your innate condition?"

That person said: "Innate...it seems...it has nothing to do with it."

"You weren't like this when you were a child?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"When I was a child... Actually, when I was a child, I did yearn for light and warmth, and... I didn't feel ashamed of it at that time, but that was... a long time ago." said the man.

When the man said this, he felt even more uncomfortable, as if when being questioned he suddenly realized that he had been such a shameful person since childhood, so he sighed.

"What's wrong?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I've been like that since I was a kid... What a pity." The man said, "When I was a kid... I even openly yearned for light and warmth. Maybe this... is called childish."

"Why did it change like that later?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Then I was bullied sometimes... and I understood." The man said. "Didn't anyone teach you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It seems like there was, but... I can't remember clearly." said the man.

"Taught you that humans shouldn't yearn for light and warmth?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

“It doesn’t seem to be said so directly, but… the meaning is about the same.” The man said, “Anyway, it tells me… how cruel this world is. Being too naive… is asking for trouble.”

"How old were you when you heard this?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said, "I can't remember clearly, it happened more than once. Yes, it's definitely not... just once."

"Have you ever heard something like this from different people?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The man said, "I have forgotten when it happened, anyway... a lot of the things I came into contact with when I was a child... were... the idea that it is right for the weak to be bullied. In this way, when I was weak and others bullied me, I... seemed to be able to find a reason to convince myself."

Grayhand said, "Has no one ever told you a different view?"

"No." The man said, "This seems to be... a common idea among the people I come into contact with. I feel that the world is like this, and the world I have seen is also like this. When some people... talk to me and give me examples, they sometimes mention... the blue-armored people, and I can't help but believe it."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "What do you mean by the Blue Armor Man?"

"The blue-armored people are the weak, so... they deserve to be bullied." The man said, "In fact, I heard this kind of thing not only when I was a child, but also later on... I heard this kind of thing a lot."
