Chapter 4972 (Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Two) Would Rather Die

Seeing that the other party was so panicked and still spoke out like this, the Gray Hands man comforted him: “Why would I threaten you? I just want to ask you, what would happen if someone threatened you.”

The man said, “If someone threatens me… I would… I would rather die than tell anyone.”

The Gray Hand Man was a little surprised to hear such words coming from this person’s mouth. After all, he had previously believed that this person would do a lot of things he was unwilling to do in order to survive.

“Will it be more terrifying than death if I tell you?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes,” the man said, “Yes…it must be more terrible than death…I can’t rest in peace.”

“If someone threatens you, will you choose to die?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Definitely.” said the man.

At this time, the man seemed even more nervous and said, “You…you keep asking this, do you…do you have any idea? Do you want me…do something…but…please don’t…please don’t.”

Seeing that the other party was getting too panicked, the Gray Hand Man was worried that if he continued to ask about this issue, the other party would really be unable to communicate normally, so he immediately changed the subject.

“Do you remember where we were just now?” asked the man with gray hands.

“You’re asking about the time when the person who cast the spell on me ‘nailed’ those words into my soul, right?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” said the Gray Hand Man.

“I just mentioned… I mentioned that he asked me if I wanted to try it, right?” said the man.

“You remember it this time.” said the man with gray hands.

“This time… this time while I was talking to you, I also… I thought about it on purpose… I was thinking that in case the topic was interrupted again… and you asked me where I was, I would… I would know what to say, so… so… I remember.” said the man.

“After he asked you if you wanted to try, what did you answer him in your heart?” the man with gray hands continued to ask.

“I… didn’t actually think of anything else, I just thought of… trying it.” The man said. “Oh?” The Gray Hand Man said, “Didn’t you say that your reason can’t dominate your behavior?”

“Yes.” said the man.

“You have always been able to do things that others cannot do for you, right?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied, “Yes.”

“Can your reason control your behavior at this time?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Well…not really.” said the man.

“You mean, when you said you wanted to try it, you felt like you were still being controlled by something?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“In fact, during that period of time… when he was ‘nailing’ words into my soul… I… must have been controlled by something the whole time.” said the man.

“Since you have been controlled all the time, why do you behave differently before and after?” asked the man with gray hands.

“This…I…I can’t explain it clearly.” the man replied.

“Haven’t you ever thought about that?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Let me think about it now.” said the man.

“Do we need to wait for a while?” asked the man with gray hands.

“No… no.” The man said, “In fact, when I answered your question about thinking about it now… I already had an idea in my mind, but I had to think about how… how to express this idea…”

“Is this even worth considering?” asked the Gray Hand Man.
