Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5436 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Six) Smashing the Foot

"What did he ask those people?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied: "He asked...them if I had told a lie."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did those people answer?"

"Those people...all said yes." said the man.

"What did you do?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"What I said in the dream...is not it." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked again: "What happened next?"

"Then, the man who said 'the needle is the stone, the stone is the needle' asked those people if they had ever felt the needles become cold before." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "What did those people say?"

"Those people...all said yes." said the man.

"What did you do after hearing this?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"After listening to them, I felt that... they were talking nonsense," the man said.

"Why?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Because I didn't... feel the needles getting cold at all," the man said.

"Did you say anything?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The man said, "I quickly told the person who said 'needle is stone, stone is needle' before...the needle did not become cold."

The Gray Hand asked again, "What was the reaction of the person who said 'The needle is the stone, and the stone is the needle'?"

The man replied: "He...he told me that they all said they became cold."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "What about you?"

"I said...I didn't feel that." said the man.

"Does he believe what those people say?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." the man said, "but... he didn't disbelieve what I said." "What was his reaction that made you think so?" asked the man with gray hands.

"He...he asked those people, asking them if if I couldn't feel the needle turning cold at this time, it meant...I was lying." The man said, "He...probably asked knowingly. He asked this at this time, probably...to make them tell me."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "So this is what he meant."

"Yes." The man said, "It's even scarier than what I imagined in my dream. I thought... after I said I didn't feel cold, things would get better, but... things got even worse. I just shot myself in the foot. But... those were all things in my dream. Since... it's a dream, many things can't be explained clearly."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did those people respond?"

The man said, “Those people all said yes.”

The Gray Hand Man asked, "And how do you explain it?"

"In my dream I said again...I could feel the needle becoming cold," the man said.

"You didn't feel that I said that on purpose, did you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "After you said that, did things take a turn for the better?"

The man replied: "No, it's worse."

"How is it worse?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said, "The one who said 'the needle is the stone, the stone is the needle' asked those people if I was... changing my words again."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did those people answer?"

"Those people all said yes," said the man.

"And then what happened?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Then the man who said 'The needle is the stone, the stone is the needle' asked me...if I heard what the people behind me said." said the man.

"What about you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I said...I heard it." said the man.
