Chapter 5450 (five thousand four hundred and fifty) painted
Gray Hands asked again, "What happened to him after you said you would probably dye your nails the same color as White Mist?"

"He asked me if I particularly wanted my nails to be... dyed a white mist color." said the man.

"What's your answer?" asked the man with gray hands.

"I'm not saying whether I want it or not, I just feel... it's already like that." said the man.

"What's next?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Then... he asked me to guess whether my fingernails had been dyed into the color of white mist just as I guessed." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "Did you guess?"

"At that moment, I suddenly felt that... what I said before was already a guess. My guess before was that my nails had been stained by the white mist. I didn't understand why he asked me to guess." The man said, "But I still told him that I guessed it was like that."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "How did he react after you said that?"

The man said, "He asked me if I thought the nails dyed with white mist would retain the color of white mist forever."

The Gray Hand asked, "What's your reaction after hearing this?"

"I feel strange because he said something before that made me realize that I will always be a blue-armored man, and my nails can no longer change color." said the man.

The Gray Hand Man asked, "But do you think your nails were stained by the white mist after you heard what he said?"

The man said, "Yeah. But actually what I thought before was... a little different from the nails actually changing color."

"What are you thinking of?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The person responded: "I think the white mist just 'painted' the top layer of my nails with white, it didn't actually... change the color of my nails."

Grayhand said, "But you think he's not asking about 'applying' white on the surface, but about actually changing the color of your nails?"

The man said, "Yes."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Is that why you think it's strange to ask this question since his previous words made you feel that your nails will always be blue?" "Yes," said the man.

"He asked you if you thought the nails dyed by the white mist would retain the color of the white mist permanently. What was your answer?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said, "I said... it will not remain the color of white mist."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Did you really think this way in your dream?"

The man said, “I guess so.”

The Gray Hand asked, "Is it?"

"The reason I said 'sort of' is because actually... I remember that I had other ideas in my dream." said the man.

"What idea?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The person replied: "That's right... I secretly hope that my nails will really change color, not just be 'painted', and that they will keep the white mist color after they really change color, forever. At one point, I even thought... this is possible."

The Gray Hands man asked, "How did he react after you told him that the mist would not remain white?"

"He asked me why I said that," the man said.

"What's your answer?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I said... because he told me before... that I would be a man with blue nails in the future. I asked him if it would be forever, and he said yes. What he said... means that my nails will definitely be blue forever." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "What did he do after hearing this?"

"He asked me... if I wanted my nails to remain the white mist color forever." said the man.
