End of Chapter 5721 (Five Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty One)

The Gray Hands said in a playful tone, “Yes, it is exactly the same, but it is not memorized.”

After saying this, the Gray Hand Man wanted to try to bring the topic back to the sound of rain, so he specifically asked the Brown Hand Man: “The change in the sound of rain becoming less rhythmic, could this be another hint to us?”

The brown-handed man was about to say something more joking, but after hearing what the gray-handed man said, he felt that this matter was more important, so he didn’t continue, but asked: “What do you think this is a hint for us?”

Gray Hands felt a little uncomfortable because the topic was changed to the sound of rain, and immediately said, “I feel uncomfortable because of the change of subject.”

The brown-handed man said, “I am a little uncomfortable because I deliberately changed the subject as you did.”

“When did you have this feeling?” Gray Hand asked, “After you said ‘What do you think you are hinting at us?’ or while you were still speaking?”

“It seems that the uncomfortable feeling appeared when I started talking, but it was not strong at first. It was most obvious when I finished speaking.” The brown-handed man said, “What about you? When did you feel that way?”

“I felt it the moment I said it. Although I was asking a question, I did change the subject. I could even clearly sense that the discomfort I felt was caused by my changing the subject.”

“Does this feeling of yours become more obvious as time goes by?” asked the man with brown hands.

“Yes.” The Gray Hand said, “I felt it most clearly when I was about to finish. And that feeling seemed to tell me that there was something wrong with my approach.”

The brown-handed man said, “Do you think this uncomfortable feeling has a big impact on you?”

“It seems hard to ignore.” The gray-handed man said, “But this influence doesn’t seem to be completely insurmountable. I just don’t know whether other unfavorable situations will arise in the process of overcoming it.” The brown-handed man said, “Are you worried that changing the subject like this might turn out to be bad for you?”

“I just have this thought, but I don’t think it’s very likely to be bad for me.” said the man with gray hands.

“Do you think it is necessary to take precautions?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“Right now, I don’t feel it has reached the point where I need to take precautions. But if this feeling reappears after a while and becomes more severe, I will have to think more about it,” said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man continued, “Did the uncomfortable feeling fade away pretty quickly after you said that sentence to change the subject?”

“Yes.” The Gray Hand Man said, “After I said that, the feeling faded, getting lighter and lighter.”

“It was the same after I asked that question. The feeling became less and less.” The brown-handed man said, “Do you still have that feeling now?”

“It’s basically gone, right?” Gray Hand said. “I don’t want to be too absolute, but I don’t seem to feel it anymore. How about you?”

“I guess I can’t feel anything anymore,” the brown-handed man said. “That’s the case right now. I don’t want to say anything absolute. Although I also know that it’s not necessary to be so cautious when it comes to whether or not you feel anything.”

“The reason you are being cautious is probably because you are afraid of feeling uncomfortable again, right?” The Gray Hand said, “This time I’m talking about the uncomfortable feeling that comes from speaking in an absolute way.”
