Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5399 (Five Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine) Chilling

The Gray Hand Man asked, "At that moment, did that 'you' think that he was 'your father'?"

"Yes." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked again: "What did you think of 'your child' at that moment?"

The man said, "I was just thinking... that kid knew that bullying the blue-armored people would be bad for 'me', but... he still did it. This makes me feel extremely chilled. Maybe I, his father, am not that important in his eyes. To him... bullying those blue-armored people is more important than preventing me from getting hurt."

The Gray Hand asked, "What did you experience after that?"

"Just... thinking about it... thinking about it, when my heart was in extreme pain, my body also suffered great pain. The two kinds of pain were intertwined, and I seemed to see my own child... standing in front of me, but... with no expression on his face." said the man.

The Gray Hand said, "You think he doesn't care whether you live or die?"

The man said, "It's not that I don't think he doesn't care at all. I think he... has thought about it and is worried that he will reach the limit of bullying the blue-armored people. But even so, he didn't stop. At that time, I was still thinking about... not letting me get hurt, which is really not as important as his intention to bully the blue-armored people."

The Gray Hand Man said, "And what about 'you'?"

"I truly experienced... the pain of dying in despair," the man said.

The Gray Hand Man asked, "After experiencing it, what was your father's reaction?"

The man said, "He asked me...if I had ever reflected on myself."

The Gray Hand said, "Did you answer him?"

The man said, "I answered him. I told him... to reflect on himself... I was just reflecting on myself."

The Gray Hand asked, "Where's he?"

"He asked me if I felt...his pain," the man said.

The Gray Hand said, "You answered?"

"I said... I understand." The man said. "What's his reaction?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said, "He said...I only experienced a small part of his pain before he died."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you believe what he said?"

"Believe it." The man said, "He didn't just say these things. He also said... After I pass the Gate of Regret, I will experience more."

The Gray Hand asked, "How do you feel after hearing this?"

"Scared." The man said, "I really don't want to experience it anymore. Not to mention more, even a little bit... I don't want to experience it anymore."

The Gray Hand asked again: "What's your reaction?"

“I asked him if he could… stop experiencing it,” the man said. “I said I had reflected on myself.”

The Gray Hand said, "Did he say yes?"

"He asked me...if I felt any regrets." The man said, "I asked him what he regretted."

The Gray Hand asked, "Did he tell you?"

"He... didn't tell me. Maybe it was because he felt I was unreasonable because I asked this question." The man said, "He told me directly... I couldn't help but feel it... because my self-reflection... was only on the surface." The man said.

"What did you do after hearing this?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I told him...it wasn't just on the surface. I said I felt deep pain," the man said.

"Where's he?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He said that if it was true... and not just on the surface, then after he asked me if I had any regrets, I wouldn't have asked him what he regretted."
