Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5373 (five thousand three hundred and seventy-three) Not alive

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Can you still feel the pain?"

"During the process of becoming weaker, the pain in my body... became worse." The man said, "I was also very confused at the time, wondering why it became worse."

The Gray Hand asked, "After you heard what he said, did you say anything else?"

"No," the man replied, "He also told me that my nails would definitely be blue forever. If I had accepted in my heart that his nails would always be blue, then... my nails would also turn blue, and I would... continue to live with blue nails. Now, my nails will still turn blue, but... I can't continue to live. I am like him... I am gone, but... my nails will always be blue."

The Gray Hand asked, "What's your reaction after hearing this?"

The man said: "After hearing this, I thought about why he didn't tell me earlier, but...soon...I felt that even if he told me earlier...it would actually be useless."

The Gray Hand said, "Why do you think it would be useless to tell you earlier? If he had told you earlier, wouldn't you have forced yourself to accept the fact that his nails would turn blue forever? If you did that, you could at least survive."

The man said: "I...at that time I thought that even if he had told me earlier, I probably would not have accepted it."

The Gray Hand asked, "Why?"

"Because... at that time, I was thinking that it would be better not to live than to live with blue nails." The man said, "After all... having those blue nails would make life extremely difficult. Every person with blue nails I have seen makes me feel that life is too painful. People with blue nails... every person with blue nails I have seen is like that. So, I would rather die than be that kind of person. I even feel that if my nails were... blue, then even if I survived at that time, I would not be far from death."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Why do you feel that you are not far from death?" "Because... in my eyes at that time, the blue-armored people were often in danger of their lives. As long as a person's nails are blue, of course, I'm talking about the special blue of the blue-armored people, then this person...it is difficult to live safely." The man said, "That was what I thought at the time, but after listening to what he said later, I realized that in fact, continuing to live after my nails turned blue was not the worst outcome."

"What did you hear him say?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said, "Then he told me that if I died like I did, my nails would also turn blue. Then I would be a blue-armored person forever. Even if... even if I could be reborn as a human being in the future, I would still be a blue-armored person in the next life. My nails would always be blue."

The Gray Hand asked, "What happened to you after hearing this?"

"Before I died, I squeezed out a longer sentence and asked him...If I didn't die, would my nails be blue only in that life?" said the man.

"He answered?" asked the Gray Hand.

"Yes, he said yes," the man said.

The Gray Hand asked, "How do you feel?"

“I… am in so much pain.” The man said, “I thought everything would be fine if I died, but who knew that if I died like this, I would also lose my entire future lives.”
