Chapter 5500 (Five Thousand Five Hundred) Showing Bigness
“What happened when you saw the child’s hand?” asked the man with gray hands.
"I saw that his fingernails were... blue." The man said, "It's the kind of blue that's unique to people with blue armor."
"So?" asked the gray-handed man.
"So... I feel that as long as I don't admit it, that... adult won't force me to ask." The man said.
"Why do you think adults won't force you to ask questions when your child's fingernails are blue?" The man with gray hands asked again.
The man replied: "Because in addition to seeing the color of children's fingernails, I also see the color of adults' fingernails."
"What color?" asked the man with gray hands.
"It's not blue," the man said, "it's just the color of ordinary Tiecang people's nails, which is... similar to the color of my nails."
"Just because you saw the color of two people's nails, you don't think that person will force you to ask?" The man with gray hands asked, "Are there any other reasons?"
"There is no other reason." The man said, "It's just... because I saw the color of those two people's nails."
"To be more specific, why did you think so after seeing the color of those two people's nails?" asked the man with gray hands.
In fact, the gray-hand man knew this well when he asked this question. The reason why he asked the other party to say it was partly because he wanted to verify his own ideas, and partly because it was difficult to control his delaying behavior. "Because... at that time, I felt that since the child was from Lanjia and the adult looked to be about forty years old, that means... he must be over twenty-five years old, so I concluded that the adult was from Tiecang, and so was I... "Tie Cang people, I believe that your Excellency will not come to question me, a Tie Cang person, just because he trusts a man in blue armor," the man said.
"Do you think that adult knows that you are also from Tiecang?" the gray-hand man asked.
"Whether he knows that I am from Tiecang or not, he...should know that I am definitely not a person with blue armor. The place where I was in the dream...it seems...usually there are only people from Tiecang and blue armor. It’s hard for others to show up. They probably think I’m from Tiecang. I look older than I am, and people always say I look older. Anyway… as long as they see that my nails are not blue. If you are a blue-armored person, you will definitely not think that I am a blue-armored person." The person said, "Everyone knows that if a person is a blue-armored person, his nails will turn blue once he reaches the age of twenty-five. The unique blue. And I... look like someone over twenty-five years old. My nails are not the blue that is unique to people with blue armor, but are similar to the color of that adult. He ...You should think that I am from Tiecang.”
The man with gray hands asked again: "Didn't you say it was in a dream?"
The man with gray hands asked this question in order to secretly find out whether the person believed that the paragraph he was narrating happened in a dream, and also to speculate whether he might suddenly remember that this paragraph actually happened in a dream after a while. His true experience.
"Yes." The man said, "That's what I said in my dream. Did I say something wrong?"
"I didn't say you said anything wrong. I just wanted to ask if in your dream the nails of people with blue armor would also turn blue when they turn twenty-five." The man with gray hands said.
"It seems so." The man said, "I felt so in the dream."
