Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1742 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Two) Feel

Hou Jizhuan replied: "There is no difference in other aspects."

"After the problem with the gray house this time, the only difference between the situation inside the gray house and before is that those 'human-shaped tools' will never be able to feel pain?" Tie Hongyan wanted to confirm this.

"Yes." Hou Jizhu said.

"That's it?" Tie Hongyan said, "Then what are you afraid of? Isn't it okay as long as the functions remain unchanged? As for those 'human tools', it doesn't matter whether they can feel pain or not. Is that a problem?"

Hou Jizhuan was surprised that Tie Hongyan would say this: "So, the young patriarch doesn't care whether those humanoid tools can feel pain?"

Tie Hongyan said: "You also said that those are 'human-shaped tools'. 'Tools' are meant to be used. Do I have to care about the feelings of the 'tools'? It's like when I use a pair of pliers to do work, do I have to consider the feelings of the pliers?"

Hou Jizhuan said: "But the clan leader doesn't seem to think so."

"Does the clan leader care about the feelings of the 'tool' when using it?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Hou Jizhuan said: "In fact, I think that when the patriarch uses other tools, he doesn't consider the feelings of the tools. However, the tools locked in the gray house are human-shaped tools, and the patriarch treats these human-shaped tools very differently from other tools. The patriarch hates the blue-armored people and the tools that look like blue-armored people the most. He really wants them to feel pain."

"Compared to the clan leader, I should be more disgusted with the blue-armored people." Tie Hongyan said, "You have heard about them before, right?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Hou Jizhuan said.

"It's just that I feel that since they are all 'tools', it really doesn't matter whether these people are in pain or not, as long as they can be used like other 'tools'. As for if I really want to vent or play with the blue-armored people, if it were me, I would tend to choose to play with other blue-armored people, because those 'tools' are not fun at all!" Tie Hongyan said. She said this deliberately to prevent Hou Jizhuan from getting suspicious of her.

"What the young clan leader said makes sense." Hou Jizhuan said. "Besides, when the clan leader abused those 'human tools', even if those 'human tools' didn't actually feel any pain, wouldn't they still show signs of pain?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Hou Jizhuan replied: "Indeed."

"Isn't that good too?" Tie Hongyan said, "After all, the clan leader can see their painful expressions and as long as he finds it interesting, there's no need to worry about how those 'human tools' feel."

After hearing this, Hou Jizhuan felt more at ease and said, "That's true. However, looking at the clan leader's usual behavior, I feel that he doesn't think so, so... so I still hope that the clan leader doesn't know about this kind of thing."

"Didn't you just tell me?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Hou Jizhu said.

Tie Hongyan said: "I won't tell the clan leader. Is there any other way for the clan leader to find out?"

Hou Jizhuan said: "This... I don't know. I hope the clan leader can't see it."

"Even if the clan leader finds someone or uses some special method to find out, the situation in the gray house will definitely not change back to what it was before, right?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yes." Hou Jizhuan said, "It can never be changed back. It can never be changed back to the state when those 'human tools' could feel pain."
