Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5318 (five thousand three hundred and eighteen) wooden frame

"You're still trying to speak despite the pain?" the Gray Hand Man asked.

"Yes." The man said, "I even thought... if... the pain in my mouth could kill me, that wouldn't be bad. At least... I wouldn't have to continue to suffer in this darkness and cold."

The Gray Hand asked, "Did anything change happen then?"

"Just when I was... trying hard to speak, I heard a 'crash' sound, as if... as if something collapsed." said the man.

"What feels like it's collapsed on you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Nothing." The man said, "Like... I don't know... the sound of a wooden frame, yes... it should be the sound of a wooden frame collapsing."

The Gray Hand Man said, "What's next?"

"Then... the... bloody smell seemed to... disappear, and the wind wasn't as loud either." The man said, "But, my mouth seemed to... hurt more than before."

"You still can't speak?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"The moment I felt the wooden frame collapse, I... I felt... as if I would be able to speak soon... but I have to break through something." said the man.

"Breakthrough what?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Break through...break through my own endurance...If I can endure the pain severely enough, just...just force myself to speak, and let my mouth continue to hurt, continue to hurt...I will definitely be able to...speak."

"Did you try?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Tried." said the man.

"What did you try to say?" the Gray Hand Man asked. "I wanted to ask... what collapsed..." the man said, "but... I still couldn't say it at this time. I found that my mouth hurt so much that I couldn't stand it, so... I just made a little sound and... I stopped talking."

The Gray Hand Man asked, “Have you given up?”

"No." The man said, "I won't... give up."

The Gray Hand asked again: "What did you say then?"

The man said, "I said it again... I tried to repeat what I just said, but... I still couldn't make a breakthrough. I still felt that my mouth was too painful... so I didn't say it."

The Gray Hand asked, "What happened next?"

"Then... I tried a few more times, but couldn't speak." The man said, "I wondered... if the things collapsed before... because... there were people around, and if the things were collapsed by someone. When I thought of this, I felt a little hope in my heart, so I tried to ask who it was, but still... I couldn't speak."

The Gray Hand Man seemed to have thought of something, so he asked the man, "Do you have any special impression of wooden racks before?"

"Wooden rack?" The man with gray hands said, "Yes... there really is."

The man asked, "What impression?"

"It was once again that the person walking with me caused a wooden frame to collapse, killing a child." The man said, "The person was originally very scared, but at this time, he heard people around him who knew the child say that the child's parents were both blue-armored people. Now, everyone was no longer afraid and left."

The Gray Hand asked, "What were you thinking when you left?"

"I... am a little scared." The man said, "Of course, I... am not afraid of the blue-armored man!"
