Chapter 5604 (five thousand six hundred and four) while listening
"Is the ticking sound gone?" the gray-handed man asked.
"Let me hear it," said the brown-hand man.
"I'll listen again," the gray-hand man said.
Although both of them said this, they still wanted to talk to each other while listening. Although this desire was not as strong as before, they still felt more comfortable talking.
"I can't hear the ticking anymore," said the brown-hand man.
"I still wanted to hear more, but I didn't hear it." The gray-handed man said.
"You and I are talking and listening at the same time. Will it be difficult to hear clearly?" the brown-hand man asked.
"I think I need this to feel comfortable." The gray-handed man said.
The man with brown hands said, "Me too."
"Are you involuntary again?" the gray-handed man asked.
"It's not completely involuntary. It's not as serious as when I had to keep talking, but I don't seem to be able to completely control myself." The brown-handed man said, "I still hope to be more comfortable."
The gray-hand man said: "In that case, let's just keep listening and talking at the same time."
"I really think the ticking sound is gone," said the brown-hand man.
"I thought it was gone, too," said the brown-hand man.
The two of them had just said a few words when the man with gray hands said, "Listen!"
The brown-hand man listened immediately, but he still wanted to speak while listening, so he was not completely quiet. He just whispered: "The clattering sound seems to be mixed with other sounds."
"Yes, what does it sound like to you?" the gray-hand man asked.
"It seems like the ticking sound that happened before?" the brown-hand man said.
"Same ticking sound as before?" the gray-handed man asked.
"I'm not sure if it's the same, but it feels almost the same." The man with brown hands said, "Is there any difference in the ticking sound?" The man with gray hands said, "When does the ticking sound sound like to you?"
"Like when the first ticking sound first appeared." The brown-hand man asked, "What do you think?"
"Yes." The gray-hand man said, "The volume of the sound is very similar to that of that time. I feel it's unusual again."
"Why is it unusual?" asked the man with brown hands.
"Why is the clattering getting louder and louder, and you and I can still hear the ticking so clearly?" asked the man with gray hands.
"Don't the ticking and clattering go through the same channel this time?" asked the brown-hand man.
"I don't think so." The gray-hand man said, "If the clattering sound and the ticking sound don't go through the same channel, then it will be too difficult for us to distinguish the channels through which the sound is heard. In fact, even if this is not the case, it is already difficult enough. It’s different.”
The man with brown hands said: "That's right, it should be the same channel, right? I can't tell for sure. But if it is the same channel, we can all hear it clearly, so we really can't figure out why."
The gray-hand man said: "We have enough things here that we can't figure out why, right?"
"Yes." The brown-hand man said, "That's just one more thing."
The gray-hand man said: "If it's the same channel, and you and I can hear different voices, does that mean that you and I have changed?"
The man with brown hands asked, "It's possible."
"I don't know what direction this change is in." The gray-handed man said.
"Are you trying to say that you don't know whether it's good or bad?" asked the man with brown hands.
The man with gray hands said: "Yes, I don't know what kind of impact it will have on you and me. What do you think?"
The man with brown hands asked again: "If you and I can hear multiple voices from the same channel at the same time after the change, then we must be more capable, right?"
