Chapter 5368 (five thousand three hundred and sixty-eight) hooked
When the man said this, he frowned slightly, as if he was reflecting on what "he" did at that time, but soon his brows relaxed, as if he was forcing himself to think out of some way. He continued: "I told him 'It can't be done'."
"What happened next?" asked the gray-handed man.
"He... fell to the ground at that time." The person said, "When he fell, he hooked my shoulder with one hand and knocked me down. Next, he... became weak again and asked I... don’t believe that he is no longer alive.”
The gray-handed man said: "Do you believe it?"
The man replied: "I...actually believe it."
The man with gray hands asked again: "Did you answer him?"
"Answered," said the man, "but my answer was: 'No!'"
The gray-handed man said: "What did he say?"
"He said... I brought this upon myself." The man said.
The man with gray hands asked: "Did you know what he meant at that time?"
"I felt at that time... that I would suffer more pain just because I said 'no!'." The person said, "I thought about... changing my words, but... I still couldn't say it. . Because I already believe that he is my father, I really don’t want him to be no longer alive.”
The man with gray hands asked again: "You didn't tell the truth. What consequences happened?"
The man said: "I really feel that my heart... is entangled with something. That thing... seems to be thin threads, like thin threads made of iron. Maybe this is what he calls 'heart threads'. Before that I felt like my heart was being torn into strips. This was just a metaphor to describe my painful feeling. But... this time I said my heart was entangled with something. This was not the case. Metaphorically speaking... this is my real reaction. I really feel like my heart is... entangled with something like a wire, and the pain in my heart... is getting more and more serious. I screamed in pain." The gray-handed man asked, "How did the other party react when he saw you like this?"
The man said: "He said... he would take me away, but... I would definitely go through a lot of torture before I passed away."
The gray-handed man asked: "What about you?"
The man said: "I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak, but I still squeezed out a few words... I said: 'I... believe it!'"
The man with gray hands said: "Are you saying you believe what he just said, or do you believe what he said before?"
The man said: "Before. I think my heart was too painfully entangled by what he said at that time, probably because... he asked me just now if I believed he was a person who was no longer alive, and I didn't To be honest, I said 'no!', so I changed my mind at this time and said that I believe it, and let's see if... Na Xinsi can let me go and reduce my pain."
The man with gray hands asked, "Did you feel any less pain after you said you believed it?"
"No." The person said, "It's gotten worse. But I think the worsening has nothing to do with me saying I believe it... No matter I say it or not, the pain is getting worse."
The man with gray hands asked: "What happened next?"
The man replied: "He told me... it's too late. Now it's useless even if I believe what he just said. Some things can't be undone if the opportunity is missed."
