Chapter 5582 (Five Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-Two) Tick

The brown-handed man said, “So you think he is not ordinary after all?”

The Gray Hand said, “Don’t you think so too?”

“Yes.” said the man with brown hands.

“So it seems that we can’t just say that he is an ordinary person, but even so, he is different from us.” said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man said again, “It must be different.”

“Listen!” said the man with gray hands.

“His gurgling has become quieter,” said the brown-handed man.

“That’s not what I meant,” said the Gray Hand Man.

“It’s related to him, right?” said the man with brown hands.

“Yes,” said the Gray Hand Man.

“Are you saying there’s a ticking sound in his abdomen?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“That’s right.” The Gray Hand Man said, “The gurgling sound was quieter just now, why is it ticking now?”

The brown-handed man said, “I don’t know. Is there any connection between the two?”

“Relationship?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I’ve thought of something,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

“What did you think of?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“What does ‘gulu’ generally describe?” asked the brown-handed man.

The Gray Hand Man said, “There’s more than one sound that can be described, right?”

The brown-handed man said, “Yes. Let’s say ‘tick-tock’ first. That seems easier to explain.”

“You’re asking me what ‘tick-tock’ is generally used to describe, right?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” The brown-handed man said, “I’m sure you can think of it.”

Gray Hand Man said, “Many times, it is used to describe the sound of falling water, right?”

The brown-handed man said, “That’s right. What about ‘Gulu’?” The gray-handed man seemed to understand something and said to the brown-handed man, “Oh, you mean that both sounds are related to water, right?”

“That’s right.” said the man with brown hands.

“‘Gurgle’ is sometimes used to describe the sound of water,” said the Gray Hands.

The brown-handed man asked again, “Then are these two sounds, one after the other, really coming from the water in his belly?”

The Gray Hand said, “I don’t think that’s possible.”

“Why?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“Because the sounds coming from his abdomen, whether it’s ‘gurgling’ or ‘tick-tick’, are different from the sounds we usually hear.” said the man with gray hands.

“There is definitely a difference,” said the brown-handed man.

“You felt it too?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I not only felt it, but I confirmed it.” said the man with brown hands.

“So what?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I’m curious about what makes that special ‘gurgling’ sound and that special ‘ticking’ sound,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

“Don’t you think it’s the water in his belly that’s causing the problem?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I really don’t think it was the water in his abdomen that made the sound.” The brown-handed man said, “Otherwise, wouldn’t it be even more terrifying? How much water must be in his abdomen to make such an obvious sound? Just now, I mean just now, the ‘gurgling’ sound was so loud. If it was really water, what happened to his abdomen?”

The Gray Hand said, “Yeah, according to that statement, it’s a miracle that he’s still alive.”

“Yes, so it can’t be real water.” said the man with brown hands.

“The gurgling sound has become smaller, and the ticking sound has become louder,” said the Gray Hand Man, “and it’s getting louder and louder.”

The brown-handed man said, “Should we listen carefully?”

“Listen carefully.” said the man with gray hands.

“The sound is so loud, it seems like it’s almost the same if you listen carefully?” asked the brown-handed man.

“Then listen carefully,” said the Gray-Handed Man.
