Chapter 6058 (Six Thousand and Fifty Eight)
The Gray Hands Man said again: “Now I am not only thinking about the time when you answered my questions nonsense, but also about other times.”

“What?” asked the Brown Hand Man.

The Gray Hand said, “It reminded me of the time when you answered other people’s questions nonsense.”

“Who are these other people you’re talking about?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“This happened more than once and involved more than one person, so I won’t go into details about them one by one,” said the man with gray hands.

The brown-handed man said again, “I know.”

“Know what?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Now I know who you are talking about.” said the man with brown hands.

The Gray Hand asked again: “Who are they?”

The brown-handed man said, “He is the person we met while doing business for that guy.”

“Why did you answer their questions nonsense at that time?” asked the man with gray hands.

“It seems that in some situations it is not necessary to do so.” said the man with brown hands.

“It’s probably just a perfunctory answer.” The Gray Hand said, “Some questions don’t seem to be explained in detail.”

The brown-handed man said, “I remember that we used to answer other people’s questions in many different situations.”

Gray Hand said: “Yes, being perfunctory is just one of the situations.”

“What else?” asked the brown-handed man, “Do you remember?”

“Maybe it’s the kind of situation that you and I can’t tell anyone about.” said the man with gray hands.

The brown-handed man said, “Yes, there are some things that you can’t just say to those people in the past.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “After all, that guy sometimes spies on us in secret.”

“And there are cases where we don’t know when he is watching us and when he is not,” said the brown-handed man.

The Gray Hands man said, “So I always assume he’s watching me, and act accordingly.” The Brown Hands man said, “Me too. In fact, I could tell sometimes when you were like that before.”

Gray Hand said, “I can see that. After all, the time when you felt that he could monitor us was different from other times.”

“You too, and I can see it,” said the brown-handed man.

“Honestly, are you trying to trick me into saying something?” the Gray Hands Man asked.

“Do you remember anything?” asked the Brown-Handed Man with a smile.

“I remembered a lot of things from the past, including the time when I deliberately led you to say something.” The man with gray hands laughed.

The brown-handed man said again, “I have also led you to say something before.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “I was fooled?”

“I don’t know whether you were really fooled or you were just playing along with the trick.” The man with brown hands laughed.

“Which time?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Don’t tell me which time it was. I’ll just assume that you’re taking advantage of my own trick.” said the man with brown hands.

“What if I deliberately tricked you into telling me something?” the Gray Hand asked. “You also took advantage of my trick, right?”

“Which time?” asked the brown-handed man.

“I won’t say anything. Just assume that you are taking advantage of my trick.” The man with gray hands said with a smile.

The Brown-Handed Man said, “Sometimes I clearly felt that your actions were based on the assumption that he would monitor us, but I tempted you to say something that you shouldn’t say in front of him, often for my own purposes. Now that I think about it, it was a bit mean.”

The Gray Hand said, “I used to treat you the same way. I think I was being mean.”

The brown-handed man said, “But you were just a tool then.”

“You’re not going to find excuses for even this now, are you?” Gray Hand said, “According to what you said, you were also a tool at the time, so you had your reasons for doing that. Why don’t you find excuses for yourself?”
