Chapter 4969 (Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty Nine) Disguise

The Gray Hand said, “Although you didn’t seem to be very cooperative with him during that period, you actually tried your best to cooperate with him, even if you habitually tried to ‘disguise’ yourself?”

“Well… I was just trying to ‘disguise’… but… but that period of time was too special… I seemed to be controlled by his spell, and I couldn’t disguise myself as freely as before.” said the man.

“Do you think your disguise was unsuccessful?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” The man said, “In that environment, it seems that I can’t disguise myself successfully at all.”

“Do you think his magic will make your performance more ‘real’?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“It depends on what counts as…real,” the man said.

Gray Hands didn’t expect the other party to say that, so he asked, “How can we tell the truth by looking at it?”

“Actually… you don’t need to look at it in detail.” The man said, “I must have just been… overthinking. The me during that period of time was the real me.”

The Gray Hand Man asked again: “Why do you think too much?”

The Gray Hands person thinks that there might be some information hidden behind the other party’s words “thinking too much”. Although he does not think that the information is necessarily very important, he feels that it is better not to let it go, because the Gray Hands person does not want to miss any information at this time.

“Just now…just now I felt…actually before I answered your question, I thought about how to be…the real me.” said the man.

“What do you think counts?” Gray Hand asked. “Like that… when what I said reflected… reflected something… something that I wanted to hide, maybe… maybe that counts.” The man said, “Of course… this is what I thought later, and I didn’t think that way before when I was ‘thinking too much’.”

“What did you think before?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Before… I thought… probably… only when my reason could dominate my behavior, then… at that time, I was the real me.” said the man.

“Why did you change your mind later?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I think that the performance when reason dominates me… is actually the result of my own control.” The man said, “Later, I thought… maybe… maybe the performance when reason cannot dominate me… can just reflect the most… the most real me. This real me… may… may be… the one that is most like my soul? I don’t know if I can say this… but this is how I feel at the moment. If I don’t say this… I don’t know how to explain it clearly.”

When the other party said this, the Gray-Handed Man immediately thought of the previous conversation between him and the Brown-Handed Man. He felt that the general idea was exactly the same, so he thought that this possibility was very high.

The Gray Hand said, “You feel now that you were affected by the magic around you during that period of time, so your reason could not control your behavior, so you seemed not to cooperate with him that much?”

“Yes,” the man said, “I feel this way at the moment.”

“Then do you think that when the magician casts a spell on you, is it possible that one of the factors is to adjust your performance to reflect the truest version of you?” asked the Gray Hand Man.
