Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5471 (five thousand four hundred and seventy-one)

The man stopped and closed his eyes as if recalling something. He quickly opened his eyes again but did not speak immediately.

The man with gray hands looked at him, but didn't want to urge him to speak quickly.

That person started to speak: "Because I was the one being bullied, I felt that...what he said made sense." That person said, "But..."

The Gray Hand asked, "But how?"

The man said, “But I think that’s because I’m the one being bullied… If I wasn’t the one being bullied… then… it’s normal for others to be bullied.”

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you think you are different from others?"

"I... I don't know what's the same or different, but... when I'm the one being bullied, I feel that... bullying others is wrong." said the man.

Gray Hand Man asked: "When you bully others, do you think you don't have to think about your own reasons?"

The man said, "When I bully others... things are still different."

The Gray Hand asked, "Why is it different?"

"I bullied... the blue-armored people." The man said, "That's another matter. The blue-armored people themselves..."

"Well?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"You deserve to be bullied." said the man.

"Why do you say you 'deserve' to be bullied?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Because... because many people bully them." The man said, "I've seen it too many times. Everyone does this."

"Just because you've seen it so many times, you deserve it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"If everyone else does that, then... it should be what they deserve." The man said. "Do you think the people who bully you think you deserve to be bullied?" the Gray Hand Man asked.

"I would think so! They said that kind of thing!" the man said angrily again.

The Gray Hand asked again: "What did you say?"

"I tried to reason with them, but they... were totally unreasonable. They said I deserved to be bullied and that I asked for it," the man said.

The Gray Hand asked, "What did you think when you heard that?"

That person said, "At that time, what others meant was... that I was useless and that I deserved to be bullied. I... also... also thought about whether it was my own problem."

The Gray Hand asked, "So, when you bully others, you don't think about whether it's your fault, but when you are bullied, you will think about whether it's your fault?"

The man said, "It seems... yes. But... the two things are different."

"How is it different?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I just feel something is different. If I say it out loud, it will definitely... definitely sound unreasonable, but... anyway... I just want to say it is different." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "Do you think that whoever is being bullied should be held responsible?"

That person said, "It seems... yes. But the one being bullied is the weak... If I were the weak one being bullied... I would not accept it."

"Why are you not convinced?" Gray Hand asked, "Is it because you are considering it from the perspective of the weak?"

The Gray Hand Man didn't think that he was considering the issue from the perspective of the weak, but he asked it anyway in order to hear what he had to say.

The man continued, "No. I... don't think from the perspective of the weak. The reason why I am not convinced is not because I consider the weak, but because... the weak... the one being bullied just happens to be me."
