Chapter 4943 (four thousand nine hundred and forty-three) childish

“In fact, you have never been sure?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Generally, it’s impossible to be sure. You can only try your best… This kind of thing… It’s not easy to associate with powerful people. I… It’s hard for me to bring any earth-shattering benefits to the other party. The powerful people… They’re not stupid, so how could they really want to associate with a weak person? So… So you can only rely on the weak person to please him, so that the powerful person will think… think that you are still ‘well-behaved’ and useful to him… If sometimes you do something that happens to suit his preferences, then… then he may still be willing to get close to you.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Have you ever had an experience where you found it very difficult to get close to someone powerful?”

The man said, “Yes, it happens often.”

“Do you feel frustrated?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I fail all the time.” The man said, “I’m used to it… I don’t think it’s a big deal anymore.”

The Gray Hands asked again, “You think face is important, right?”

“Yes.” the man replied.

“Then when you fail in your attempt to approach a powerful person, do you feel ashamed?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“No.” The man said, “People with great power are powerful people… It’s not easy for… anyone to get close to them… I can get close to them, that’s my ability. If… if I can’t get close to them, then… that’s okay. It’s not like I took the initiative to get close to people with less power, then… that would be embarrassing.”

The Gray-Handed Man got to know more about that person, and secretly felt that from the previous conversations, he and the Brown-Handed Man should be able to infer more information about him. He also believed that after he and the Brown-Handed Man told the User about the situations they had raised later, the User would definitely be able to learn more details about this person through these.

At this time, the Gray Hand Man said, “Let’s talk about the situation where many people bully one person. You think that when a person is in a weak position and is bullied, it is difficult for others to stand by him and help him?”

“Yes, almost never.” The man said. “You just said that when the magician told you to imagine how you would feel if someone stood up and spoke for you, you thought, then I must feel like someone is willing to save you and pull you out of that abyss.” The gray-handed man said, “Do you think you will almost never meet someone who is willing to save you? You won’t meet someone who pulls you out of the abyss?”

“It may happen normally, but…but in the situation you mentioned where multiple people bully one person, if I am the one being bullied, then naturally I will hardly encounter it.” The man said, “No one wants to cause trouble for themselves.”

“So you can’t imagine the possibility of encountering that?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” said the man.

“If you can’t think of it now, what about other times?” asked the man with gray hands.

“It’s the same at other times. Why… it’s always like this?” said the man.

“Has this idea remained the same for you since you were a child?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Not really… not really…” the man said, “When I was very young… I… I was childish.”

“Why childish?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I once hoped… that someone could help me.” said the man.
