Chapter 5250 (Five Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty) Soft Cloth
“Do you think the spring can be ‘pulled out’?” asked the man with gray hands.
"I know clearly... it's just my fantasy, but... I still try to do it." The man said, "I think the spring there is like... it seems to exist on a piece of... flattened soft material. On top of the cloth, everything there is like an phantom. I...I reach out, if I can touch the cloth, grab it, and then pull it in my direction, I can...bring the spring there to me. Here...then, I, a Tiecang person...will not be surrounded by darkness and cold. But their place...there will be darkness and cold."
The gray-hand man asked: "What was your view on darkness and cold at that time?"
"Actually, I don't have any opinion... I just feel... I don't like the darkness and cold around me at that time. I... want to be more comfortable, that's all." The person said.
"If you want to feel more comfortable, you must pull out the soft spring cloth?" asked the man with gray hands.
"I have no other way. I feel...I have been bullied by those blue-armored people, and I don't know what to do." The man said, "I don't feel comfortable in my heart, and I...don't like myself very much either. This kind of thinking, after all, I usually look down on the blue-armored people...the spring of those who are hostile to me...will not be good for me, so...then what can I do? I can only let the spring come out, let the spring break away from the people who are hostile to me, let the spring come to my side, so that I... will not continue to be surrounded by darkness and cold. In this way, the spring... should not be counted. It’s spring for people in Lanjia, but it’s spring for me...it’s spring for me, a Tiecang person.”
"From your words, I can hear that you like spring at this time. Is that true?" the gray-handed man said.
The man said: "I was... surrounded by darkness and cold... For me in that situation, actually... killing my will doesn't seem to be a bad thing."
The man with gray hands said: "Do you think you have an instinct for light and warmth?"
The person who asked this question was stunned for a moment.
"It shouldn't be." The man said.
"Is there any?" asked the gray-handed man.
"I... don't want to make myself too uncomfortable," the man said.
"I'm just asking you if you have it. When you say that, do you mean you have it?" the gray-handed man asked.
"What shouldn't exist, just...can't exist." The man said, "I...the world I live in most of the time, the light and warmth...must be short-lived...it consumes people's will, making... People are addicted to it, but...in reality, darkness and coldness are everywhere. That kind of darkness and coldness is not the kind I experienced in that world...that kind of darkness and coldness, after all...is a comparison. To a lesser extent. The world I live in most of the time is something I have to adapt to. I can't be immersed in the light and warmth, and I can't be confused by... such spring... In fact, even if it's... If you can be 'caught' by me, even if you are snatched by me, I shouldn't miss you too much. "
The gray-handed man said: "Snatch it?"
"Absolutely." The man said, "Aren't there many things in the world that... can only be obtained by robbing? You can only get them by robbing them."
"Even spring?" asked the man with gray hands. (End of chapter)
