Chapter 5501 (Five Thousand Five Hundred and One) Bukong

“Why do you think you feel this way?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Maybe it’s because… in the dream, I feel… not much different from when I’m not in a dream.” said the man.

The Gray Hands asked again: “But can you tell the difference?”

“Yes.” The man said, “That happened in a dream. Although many things are similar to what really happened, but… that was a dream, so I can naturally tell the difference.”

After hearing what the man said, the Gray Hands felt more at ease, thinking that the other party must have already determined that what he was describing happened in a dream, and judging from the man’s answer, it seemed unlikely that the man would suddenly remember that this was his real experience after a while. The Gray Hands thought that he might not need to ask too anxiously, anyway, even if some time passed, he would not think that it really happened, so he could still ask without hesitation.

The reason why the gray-handed people think this way is related to their own difficult-to-control procrastination behavior. This is a way to find some sense of security for their future procrastination.

Just as he was thinking this, the Gray Hand Man heard the man say, “But… I still can’t remember how it connects. It doesn’t seem to connect with what I dreamed about before. This…”

Gray Hands was a little worried again, so he asked, “Anyway, whether it can be connected or not, it’s the content of your dream, right?”

“Yes.” The man said decisively.

Seeing that he answered so quickly and very firmly, the Gray-Handed Man’s previous “uneasy feeling” gradually disappeared.

The Gray Hand Man said, “Go on and tell me what happened next.”

“Just now I was talking about…” the man said.

Gray Hands was worried that he forgot what he was talking about because his mind was empty again, because once his mind was empty, it meant that the environment here had changed again. Although Gray Hands didn’t think clearly about what kind of changes had taken place in the environment if his mind was empty at this time, he still didn’t want this to happen. After all, Gray Hands still planned to continue to delay. Gray Hands wanted to remind him immediately, but he also wanted to know if he could remember it. On the other hand, the behavior of delaying was really hard to control.

The Gray Hand Man did not remind him, but said: “Think about it.”

The man said, “Okay, I’ll… think about it.”

“Your mind hasn’t become empty during this period, has it?” asked the man with gray hands.

“No.” The man said, “I was just thinking about the conversation I had with you a moment ago… my mind… is not empty.”

The Gray Hand asked again, “Now, what do you think we were talking about?”

“Okay.” said the man.

“Do you think you can remember?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man with gray hands clearly felt that what he asked seemed to be nonsense. Not only that, but it also delayed the man from continuing to go west. However, he still wanted to ask, which was also a manifestation of his difficulty in controlling his procrastination behavior.

After the man said “think about it”, the gray-handed man interrupted him twice, asking questions that seemed unnecessary. If it was before, the brown-handed man would feel that it was wrong. Not only would the gray-handed man’s actions make the brown-handed man feel wrong, but even if the brown-handed man himself had done so before, he would also feel that it was wrong. However, at this moment, the brown-handed man did not think there was anything wrong, and even felt that even if he asked the man a question, he might still say something after he said “think about it”.
