Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5359 (Five Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Nine) White Shadow

The Gray Hand Man asked again, "Did you continue to beg him?"

"Yes," the man said, "I begged him again and again...but...but he no longer listened to me."

"What else did he say after that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Nothing said," the man said, "but just keep chopping."

The Gray Hand Man asked again, "Cut your face?"

"Yes." The man said, "Maybe he wanted to see what would happen if he kept chopping... and... he seemed to no longer want to know... the truth."

The Gray Hand asked, "You no longer want to know the truth. Does that mean you are about to be killed?"

The man replied, "Yes. He was... definitely about to kill me."

The Gray Hand asked again: "How did you feel at that time?"

“It was so painful…” the man said, “My face was chopped into pieces… and my eyes were full of… all kinds of debris. I… couldn’t open my eyes. He controlled my hands and wouldn’t let me… get the debris out of my eyes.”

The Gray Hand asked, "What happened next?"

"He said...said...my face has been chopped like this, and...it's impossible to tell who I am. He said it looks like I'm a monster, a monster. If...I don't reveal my true form after being chopped a few more times, then he'll just kill me." said the man.

The Gray Hand said, "What are you going to do about this?"

"I shouted in panic that I was not a monster... and told him things that only he and I knew." said the man.

"Anything else?" Gray Hand asked, "Didn't we just talk about that?"

"Yes... this time I'm talking about something else." The man said. "What was the other party's reaction?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"The other party seemed... not to care much about this... While continuing to chop me, he said to me: 'You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I don't care what the monster says.'" the man said.

"Has he completely given up on knowing the truth?" said the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The man said, "After I said that to him, his knife...didn't stop..."

The Gray Hand asked, "What happened next?"

"Then... he stabbed me hard with a knife and killed me." The man said, "Then I knew that this 'me'... was dead. The experience of the other 'me' was even more... terrifying."

The Gray Hand asked, "Where is the other 'you'?"

"In...in a house where I used to live." said the man.

"Any terrible experiences?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied, "It was... dark, and I was alone in the house. Just as I was about to put out the candle and rest, I... saw a white shadow... floating into the house. The shadow... had its back to me, and I... was really frightened. I didn't dare to put out the candle, and I... didn't dare to move."

The Gray Hand asked, "Did you quickly figure out whose shadow that was?"

"At first, when it was just a shadow, I couldn't... tell who that person was, because that shadow... was too vague. Later... the shadow gradually became solid, and... turned around... I found out... that he was... my father." said the man.

When the Gray Hand Man heard the man say that it was his father and that this experience was even more terrifying, he remembered that he had previously been unable to communicate normally with others because of something related to his father. He suddenly felt a little nervous and thought of words to change the subject.
