Chapter 5394 (Five Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Four) Self-Reflection

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

"I didn't say anything, just waited... and was sucked over by Huimen, but I felt unwilling. He stretched my hands again." said the man.

"Still testing you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." said the man.

"Or try the same thing you tried before?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"No." The man said, "This time he stretched my hand in a different way than last time."

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

The man replied: "This time he turned my hands around before... stretching them."

"Turn?" asked the Gray Hand Man, "How does it turn?"

"Before he stretched my hands, the backs of my hands were facing upwards," the man said. "This time, before he stretched my hands, he turned both of my hands around... so that the backs of my hands were facing downwards."

"What does this mean?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He said... this was a test to see if I would have a chance to reflect on myself in the absence of a conscience," the man said.

"Did you ask him?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes, I asked." said the man.

"How did you ask?" the Gray Hand asked, "Did you take the initiative to talk to him?"

"No." The man said, "This time... he took the initiative to tell me after he heard me shouting."

"When did you shout?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied: "As he turned my hands around and then... stretched my hands again."

"Why are you shouting?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Because it hurts." said the man.

"You just shouted but didn't say anything?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." The man said, "I didn't have time to talk to him... As soon as I shouted, he talked to me."

The man with gray hands said again: "What did he tell you?" "He told me... It seems that I still have a chance to reflect on myself." said the man.

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Is it because of your shouting that you came here?"

"That should be the case." said the man.

"What else did he say?" Gray Hands asked, "I asked about... self-reflection."

The man said: "After he said that, he said... I cried out because of the pain, so... I still have a chance to reflect on myself."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Did you ask anything else?"

“I didn’t ask.” The man said, “At that time… I didn’t dare to speak, for fear that if I said something wrong it would bring me consequences, especially… in this situation… This time he turned my hands over and stretched them again, it really hurt!”

The Gray Hand asked again, "Did he continue to speak?"

"He said." The man said, "He said... since I had the opportunity to reflect on myself, why didn't I reflect on myself earlier."

"Is he asking you a question?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Yes." said the man.

"Did you answer?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Answered." The man said, "I said... I don't understand what he is saying."

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

"He asked me which word he didn't understand, and whether it was 'self-reflection'," the man said.

The Gray Hand said, "What do you think?"

"I said 'yes'," the man said.

"Did he tell you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He didn't tell me anything. He just asked me...if I had never known what the word 'self-reflection' meant." said the man.

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

"I said no." The man said, "I said... I just don't understand what he meant by 'self-reflection'."
