Chapter 5177 (Five Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Seven) Deep Thought

“So you don’t think those people’s behavior is surprising?” asked the man with gray hands.

“That’s right,” the man replied, “not only that… I also thought of something else… this time… I thought of myself.”

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

“I actually…actually thought about whether I look like a human or not.” The man said, “It’s funny. I was originally talking about others, but later…it came down to myself.”

“What happened next?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Then I will ask…do I look like a human now?” said the man.

“Who are you asking?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Who am I… am I asking?” the man said. “Actually… on the one hand, you could say I’m asking those people… I want to get their attention, but at the same time… at the same time… I’m also asking myself.”

“Ask yourself, do you have the answer?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I said it myself…I said I am neither human nor ghost.” said the man.

“Who are you talking to?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I still have some feelings towards them…but…but at the same time, it can be regarded as…answering myself.” The man said. “Did you feel that you were not like them at that time?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes, not… like a human.” The man said, “In that situation… asking questions again and again… asking questions to people who are most likely blue-armored people… but… getting no response, this… this is really not like a human. The person I asked… is a blue-armored person who can’t be considered a human being. He asked so many questions… I am a Tiecang person, and I asked the blue-armored people so many times, but… I got no response… What am I? Am I still human? If I admit that I am… still like a human… then… after all, I am a Tiecang person. In this situation… am I still like a Tiecang person? If you say… I am still like a Tiecang person… then… that is simply an insult to the identity of Tiecang people. But I don’t want to… say that I am not a Tiecang person… It’s better… It’s better to just say that I am not a human.”

“Do you think that by saying that you are not like a human being, you won’t be insulting the identity of the Iron Warehouse people?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I can only say… it makes me feel better.” The man said, “I already feel like I’m not a human being, so… then there’s no need to talk about not being like a human being… whether I’m not like a Tiecang person or not like someone else… it’s not important anymore. So… I just… just admitted that I wasn’t a human being at that time, and I felt better… Of course… even if I say I felt better, it didn’t make me feel much better. Especially when I thought about it later, I felt even… even more pathetic.”

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

“I thought… I described myself as not being a human being at that time… Actually… it was quite disgusting.” said the man.

“Why do you suddenly think of this?” Gray Hand asked, “Isn’t it to avoid insulting the identity of the Iron Warehouse people?”

“Yes… that’s what I originally thought, but… but actually… you can’t think too deeply about this. Once you think too deeply about it, it will… become disgusting to death.” The man said, “I really shouldn’t think too deeply about it…”

“Have you thought deeply about this?” the Gray Hand Man asked. “What have you thought of?”
