Chapter 4892 (Four Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety-Two) Mantis

“What do you think now?” the Gray Hand asked, “When you answered me ‘related’, didn’t you already think about what the relationship was and just say it directly?”

The man replied: “I… I just suddenly felt that there was a connection, but… but I haven’t figured out what the connection is yet… I just told you about it.”

“Have you figured out the relationship now?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Not yet… not yet.” the man replied.

“I will continue to ask you questions and you continue to think.” said the man with gray hands.

“Ask me something else while I…think about this?” the man asked.

“Do you need some more time to think about it?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

When the man heard the Gray Hands’ question, he said, “No… no need, but… but I may not be able to… figure it out.”

“If I just give you time, will you be able to figure it out?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“It’s hard to say.” The man said, “But I will try my best.”

“Were you scared when you heard what he said?” the Gray Hand Man continued.

“I’m scared, but there’s no use being scared. I… I’m from Tiecang, I shouldn’t be scared… I want to… I want to say something aggressive about him.” said the man.

“Can you control what you say and what you don’t say at this time?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Actually… whether I say it or not, I should be able to control part of it. I can’t really say whether it is true or not… but… but there is a force that drives me to say certain things… whether that force exists or not is not something I can control.” The man said. “Did you hope that that force would exist at that time?” the Gray Hand Man asked.

“I… couldn’t think so much at the time.” said the man.

“Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to control yourself and not say anything, but failed to do so?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Probably not…it’s just…I just wanted to say something at that time, so I said it out loud.” said the man.

“Do you regret it?” asked the man with gray hands.

“I said some things that I might regret after…after I leave that world…because…because…they are really bad for me and abnormal…too abnormal.” said the man.

“When you were in that world, did you never think about breaking through the power you mentioned?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“No.” The man said, “I… was really scared at the time, and couldn’t think of anything else… I just… wanted to say those aggressive words to attack him… It seemed that saying those words would make me feel much better… It seemed that it would reflect my dignity as a Tiecang person.”

“Do you think it’s reflected now?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Now that I think about it… no matter what I said in that world… I was so controlled by him at that time, it was… it was all a disgrace to the people of Tiecang.” The man said, “I know this, but… I don’t know what to do.”

The Gray Hand asked again: “Do you think that the power that controls you can be broken?”

“Now… I… also feel that I can’t break through.” The man said, “Although I am from Tiecang, he… he is just a blue-armored animal… but… but he is not ordinary… he has those strange abilities… It’s like… a praying mantis is nothing big, but… but a praying mantis that has become a spirit is… different.”
