Chapter 5736 (five thousand seven hundred and thirty-six)

“That’s what I saw.” said the man with brown hands.

“Does it mean that we need to wait for a while after the ‘hush’ sound ends before the ‘hush’ sound we make can take effect?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I think there is such a possibility.” The brown-handed man said, “I just don’t know how big the possibility is.”

“In the current environment, it is difficult for us to speculate on the possibilities when our hands are tied,” Gray Hand said.

“It is possible to make unfounded guesses,” said the brown-handed man.

“Even if it’s a guess, it may not be accurate and it doesn’t mean much.” Gray Hand Man said, “But, in fact, I don’t know what is significant and what is not significant.”

The brown-handed man said, “Oh?”

“Just now when I was communicating with you, I thought about the meaning of some things and some words. Then how should I put it? I think I should say that I also thought about whether some things and some words have meaning.” Gray Hand said, “Every time I said that my words were meaningless, you said that you didn’t think so.”

The brown-handed man said, “After I said the nonsense, weren’t you like this too?”

“That’s not nonsense.” said the Gray Hand Man.

“Look, you’re here again.” said the man with brown hands.

The Gray Hand said, “Forget it, I won’t say that for now, or you’ll think I’m stuck in some pattern. I’ll just say that I was thinking about ‘meaning’ just now, and when I was thinking about it, I felt that whether some things and words are meaningful depends on who is looking at them.”

The brown-handed man said, “You no longer think that what is ‘useful’ to our next action is ‘meaningful’?” “Yes.” The gray-handed man said, “In fact, if you think like me, it seems that there is no such thing as absolutely meaningless in the world.”

The brown-handed man asked, “You said ‘seems’, mainly because you can’t be absolutely sure?”

Gray Hand Man said: “I think so. I did consider that I cannot say anything absolutely. I want to say that I do think that absolute meaninglessness does not exist. This time I said it absolutely, and I did not feel comfortable saying it, but I still said it. Oh, I have finished talking to you now. Because I do not feel comfortable, I must add that I do think that absolute meaninglessness ‘seems’ does not exist. Now that I have added it, I feel much better.”

“Actually, what you really want to express is what you said before you added that.” asked the brown-handed man.

“Yes. I knew you would understand, so I said that.” said the Gray Hand Man.

“You seem to have found a way to say those absolute words? That is, after saying the absolute words, quickly add something to make the words less absolute?” asked the brown-handed man.

Gray Hand Man said: “But I still went through a period of discomfort. This is not a good method, and it is not my original idea. Besides, in the end I still couldn’t resist the feeling of discomfort, and added the part that I thought was unnecessary.”

The brown-handed man said, “Anyway, you have achieved your goal, and I understand what you really want to say.”

“But I have a vague feeling that if I do this too many times, it will be disadvantageous to me,” said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man said, “Surface feeling or deep feeling?”

“Deeper.” Gray Hand said, “Just as I said when I added that part just now.”
