Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 6022 (Six Thousand and Twenty-Two)
"Reminds me of the first time I heard the term 'old fashioned method,'" said the Gray Hand.

"I heard it from that guy." said the man with brown hands.

"Me too," said the Gray Hand. "I heard it from him when I met him alone."

The Brown-Handed Man said, "It seems that your situation is the same as mine. The first time, he told me alone."

"He asked us this question in front of us later." The Gray Hand Man smiled, "Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember." The brown-handed man said, "It was quite interesting when he asked you and me at the same time."

"Yeah, I don't even remember telling us." The Gray Hand Man said, "Is that the feeling?"

"Yes," said the brown-handed man, "he asked us, in front of you and me, whether he had ever told us what the 'old law' was."

"He himself said whether he had said it or not, but he asked you and me." The Gray Hand Man said, "He really seemed to have no memory at the time."

“At first I wondered if he asked that on purpose,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

"If you are asking this on purpose, then you are testing whether I remember it or not." said the man with gray hands.

The brown-handed man added, “But the next moment I felt that it was not a test for you or me.”

"He looked more like he was testing himself then," said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man laughed.

"How do I test him?" the Gray Hand asked, "You know how I'm going to ask this, right?"

"I suppose you mean to say he wanted to test himself on his memory," said the Brown-Handed Man.

"You guessed it right." said the man with gray hands.

The brown-handed man just said "Oh".

"You're not surprised at all," said the man with gray hands.

"Is this surprising?" said the brown-handed man.

"Do you think you can guess it right?" asked the Gray Hand Man. "I guess so," said the Brown Hand Man.

"So confident?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The brown-handed man said, "It's only like this in this case. It may not be the case in other cases."

The Gray Hand Man said, "Do you remember how you and I responded to him at that time?"

"Remember." The brown-handed man said, "Nod at the same time."

"It's kind of funny when I think about it." said the man with gray hands.

“But I didn’t find his question funny when I heard it at that time,” said the brown-handed man.

"I didn't feel that way. I just felt really scared at that time," said the man with gray hands.

"It was indeed easy to get scared at that time." said the man with brown hands.

"What do you think is the difference between 'funny' and 'scary'?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Time," the brown-handed man replied.

Gray Hand Man said, "It's true. It's the time interval. It's not just this one thing that's like this."

"Isn't this true of many things in the world?" asked the brown-handed man.

"I think you can say that," said the Gray Hand Man, "For many things, if you look at them at different times, you will feel very different."

"Sometimes the difference is whether one is 'in the matter' or 'outside the matter'." said the brown-handed man.

"Well, if one is 'outside' of something, one would find it 'funny', at least one would not find it 'scary'. But when one is 'in the middle of it', it is another matter." said the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes, of course, there are some particularly scary things. Even if you have already 'been outside of it', you will still feel 'very scared'." The brown-handed man said, "Especially when it is not too far away from the time of the incident. Even if the incident has passed, you will still feel scared."
