Chapter 5489 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine)

The brown-handed man said, “That may be the case, but I think the appearance of Jinzhu during this period has something to do with his personal situation.”

“There should be a connection, but I can’t figure out what it is for now,” said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man continued, “He just said that if he had said ‘yes’ in the dream, the result would not be the same. Then he said no. Do you think this sentence can be associated with something?”

“I can indeed relate some of it.” said the man with gray hands.

“What are you thinking of?” asked the man with brown hands.

“For someone like him who has such deep-rooted ideas about the Blue-Armored Man, it stands to reason that, when he talks about his dream, he shouldn’t suddenly mention whether the result would be different if he had said ‘yes’ in the dream,” said the Gray-Handed Man.

The brown-handed man said, “Now that you put it that way, I think I understand a little better.”

“What have you figured out?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I have figured out a little bit why he suddenly said that.” The brown-handed man said, “I can only say that I have figured it out a little bit, but I can’t say that I have figured it out completely.”

“Why do you think that is?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man looked at the gold bead again and said, “Look at the gold bead and the wavy line.”

The Gray Hand Man asked, “The waves in the wavy line seem to be caused by the golden beads. I don’t know if this is what you mean, but I think it seems to be related to this.”

The brown-handed man asked again: “The golden bead moved the wavy line, just like the changes in the tree bead moved some of the thoughts that the spellcaster had instilled in him earlier?”

The man with gray hands said, “Now that you mention it, I think it’s true.” “Then I seem to understand a little bit more about the situation you just mentioned,” said the man with brown hands.

“What’s going on?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man replied, “You just said that we have passed the period before where he would not be unable to communicate normally no matter what I asked him. He mentioned his father, and it seems that there was no serious problem. Although you later said that maybe it is okay to just talk about dreams, I think it is possible that it is okay to just talk about dreams during this period, but I think this possibility is not as great as the other possibility.”

“What do you think the other possibility is?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“That’s right. If the golden beads hadn’t appeared, even if he thought of the situation related to his father in the dream during this period, he might have entered a state where he couldn’t communicate normally with others again.” The brown-handed man said, “After all, it’s ‘this period’ of time. Compared with the previous time, many situations are different. You know what I mean by different, right?”

“I know. Only people like you and me can sense this kind of change.” The Gray Hand said, “Go on.”

“You changed the subject just now to prevent him from falling into a state where he couldn’t communicate normally with others again, right?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The Gray Hand said, “Yes, I said this hastily. Although I didn’t think it was very dangerous, I just felt that I had to do this.”

“And now?” said the brown-handed man, “Do you still feel the same way you did just now that you must do this?”

“I don’t think so anymore.” said the man with gray hands.

“Why?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“After seeing Jinzhu, I feel that even if I hadn’t quickly changed the subject just now, he wouldn’t be in that kind of danger.” said the man with gray hands.
