Chapter 5280 (Five Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty) Asking
“Are you not so angry now?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Yes.” said the man.

“What did you say again?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I said… I said I can’t even see what they look like now.” said the man.

The Gray Hand Man said, “After saying this, did you hear a response?”

“No,” said the man.

The Gray Hand Man asked again: “What did you do next?”

“I told them… that even though it was very dark where I was before, there was… at least a place where I could see them. At least there was a little… a little light.” The man said, “When I didn’t hear any response from others, I… I told them again that there was no light anywhere… I… couldn’t find them.”

“You’ve said so much to them, and now you’re patient?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes… yes.” The man said, “Actually… it’s more out of fear. I’m not afraid of the blue-armored men… I’m afraid… of having to continue staying in that environment.”

“Is there any response now?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Still nothing.” said the man.

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

“I asked again,” the man said, “asking if they…disappeared.”

“Did you think they disappeared?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I think… there is such a possibility, but… I absolutely cannot believe that they really disappeared.” The man said, “Otherwise I won’t know how to… stay here.”

The Gray Hand asked again: “What happened next?”

“Then I… said… I said they… just didn’t talk to me… and now…” the man said, “Now… they don’t even appear in front of me… I… was almost asking them, yes, my tone… was just asking.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Have they responded to you now?”

“No,” the man replied.

The Gray Hand asked, “What did you say next?” The man said, “I started to provoke them. I told them… I think they are… scared…”

The Gray Hand Man said, “Ask them if they are scared?”

“Yes.” said the man.

“Are you afraid when you say this?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Afraid of staying in the dark?” the man asked.

The Gray Hand said, “Yes.”

“What do you think they’re afraid of?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Actually… I didn’t really think at the time… that they would be afraid of anything.” said the man.

The Gray Hand Man then said, “Are you saying this just to make them ignore you?”

“That’s right.” The man said, “I just want to provoke them.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Aren’t you worried about angering them at this time?”

“Yes.” The man said, “If you are angry, the worst that can happen is… to kill me. I am not afraid of death… I am… afraid of continuing to stay… in the dark and cold.”

The Gray Hands asked again: “Aren’t you worried that they will abuse you in other ways?”

The man said: “At that time… I was not worried.”

“Why?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“It’s just… I just didn’t think that much… that’s all.” said the man.

The Gray Hand asked again: “What happened next?”

“Next, I… I asked them… if they were afraid of me.” said the man.
