Chapter 5555 (Five Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Five)

The Gray Hand Man said, “I just can’t figure it out no matter how hard I try.”

The brown-handed man said, “It’s the same. If you can’t figure it out, then forget it.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “At this time, you and I can think of anything we want without restriction?”

The brown-handed man said, “Almost. But I still haven’t completely gotten over the memories.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “While you were talking to me, you occasionally thought of the past?”

“That’s right. Are you the same?” said the brown-handed man. “Yes. But it’s different from before.”

“I am different from before,” said the Gray Hand Man. “How are you different?”

“Now my memories seem to be much shorter than before,” said the brown-handed man, “only flashes of memory come to me occasionally. Is that the case with you?”

The Gray Hand said, “Yes. Sixty-nine is getting closer and closer to us. We will talk about it together when the time comes.”

The Brown-Handed Man said, “Now it seems that there are fewer restrictions on you and me.”

“Yes.” The Gray Hand said, “There are many things I don’t understand. In this process, it seems difficult to figure out which things you and I are restricted from doing and which are not restricted, which things are severely restricted, and which things are not so severely restricted.”

The brown-handed man continued, “I feel like it’s always changing. You and I can only analyze the changes that have already happened, but it’s hard to accurately predict what will happen next.”

Gray Hand said, “Do you miss the time when we could predict what would happen next during a mission?”

The Brown-Handed Man said, “Yes, at that time, every time we took a step, we knew what would happen next.”

“Even when you haven’t done anything, you can basically know what will happen later.” said the man with gray hands.

“Sometimes, we can predict what will happen in the future because we use some special skills.” The brown-handed man said. The gray-handed man said, “In fact, it takes effort to use those skills.”

The brown-handed man said, “In this situation, even if we want to put in some effort, we can’t do it.”

The Gray Hand said, “Yeah, we can’t use it casually at all.”

The brown-handed man said, “Ordinary people often cannot predict what will happen next.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “Yes, they are not like us. They can still be of some use at times.”

The brown-handed man added, “Perhaps it is because we are used to the way things were before that we are not used to the way things are now.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “It’s mainly because this experience is so special. We couldn’t see any changes when we looked at the tree beads, but we always encounter unexpected situations.”

The brown-handed man said, “It’s OK that I can’t predict the future, but even if it’s about the past, I can’t explain what happened just now. Although I can explain part of it, it changed later, and I still feel like I can’t figure out the pattern.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “I can’t figure out the pattern either. In that case, let’s try it when nothing is clear enough.”

“I—don’t—believe—”

The two heard the man’s voice again.

The brown-handed man said, “He’s talking again, with the same tone. We shouldn’t have missed it this time, right?”

The Gray Hand Man said, “No, we have changed our plan. Let’s say those four words together first, without waiting for him to speak.”

The brown-handed man said, “I thought of another question.”
