Chapter 4981 (Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighty-one) Careless

“Is this the reason you guessed?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yeah, I… can only guess.” The man said, “I’m an ordinary person… I can only guess the real reason after thinking about it, but I don’t have the ability to understand it.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “Since you can tell me your guesses about this kind of thing, then why were you worried about saying something wrong when I asked you the question just now?”

“This… is different.” The man said, “This kind of thing is what I… feel now, it’s all what happened here, and it has nothing to do with the things I experienced in the real world before. But that thing is different, it… involves my experience in the real world.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Are you worried that you may have accidentally said something you promised to that magician?”

The man thought for a moment and said, “It seems… related, but… but when I think about it carefully, I don’t think there is anything I can accidentally say. After all, some things… are different now than before.”

“What’s different?” asked the Gray Hand.

“It’s just… my problem hasn’t been solved, and… it can’t be solved anymore.” said the man.

“Then you aren’t worried about saying something wrong?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I also… I also seem to be worried… This… I don’t know how to say it… I can’t explain it clearly.” The man said, “Maybe I did something that led to the result later… Then if I say something when this result has already occurred, will it… lead to more serious consequences? I am worried in my heart, but… it seems… After thinking about it, I can’t find what I want to say but can’t say at all, but that feeling of fear… is still there.”

The Gray Hand asked, “You felt that you stopped talking to yourself as soon as I spoke. Is this just because I am not an ordinary person?”

“I feel like it, but I can’t be sure whether it’s actually true or not.” The man said, “That’s just my feeling… That’s it.”

The Gray Hand asked again, “What if someone interrupted you while you were talking to yourself? What do you think would happen?”

“That depends… on who interrupted it,” the man said.

“Who do you think would have caused the same outcome if they had interrupted?” the Gray Hands Man asked. “The one who was with you.” the man replied.

“Besides the two of us?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“In this situation, is there anyone else who can come here except you two?” the man asked.

“What if you can come?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“That depends… on… whether that person is an ordinary person like me or someone like you.” said the man.

“If it were an ordinary person, do you think they would be unable to interrupt you from talking to yourself?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes, it cannot be interrupted.” the man replied.

The Gray Hand asked again: “Is it not possible even in such an environment?”

“It shouldn’t work…” the man said. At this point, he felt that he was being too hasty, so he added: “Actually… I don’t understand it either, and I don’t know how to understand it.”

“Do you think the environment here has nothing to do with your fear of talking to yourself?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“This…it seems…it doesn’t seem to be the case.” said the man.

“What do you think it matters?” asked the Gray Hand Man.
