Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5404 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Four)
Just as the Gray Hand Man finished speaking, he heard the man say to him: "I... have figured out something."

The Gray Hand Man immediately looked at the man and asked, "What did you come up with?"

The man said, "It's the shape of that... pond. Actually... it looks like a cup."

The brown-handed man whispered, "It is true."

The Gray Hand asked, "Does the cup look the same from any direction?"

"Yes." said the man.

"How high is it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Much taller than myself," the man replied.

"Then how did you see the green water in the cup?" asked the man with gray hands.

"I... was standing on the side at first, and then... I stood up." said the man.

The Gray Hand Man said, "Did it rise up by itself?"

"Yes." said the man.

"Did you see the green water only after you rose up, or did you know before that the cup contained green water?" asked the man with gray hands.

The man didn't expect the Gray Hand Man to ask this, so he said, "It should be... it should be after it rose up that we saw that the cup was filled with... green water."

Seeing that the other party was hesitant in answering, the Gray Hand asked again: "Should?"

"Yes." The man said, "Before I saw the green water, I probably didn't know it was green water..."

"You're not sure about that?" said the Gray Hand Man.

“Now that you ask, I feel… uncertain,” the man said.

"Do you have any other impressions?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I don't have any other impressions." The man said, "But... I just feel that... that 'I' may indeed encounter some unexpected things. So I will think carefully about your question and think about whether I knew that the 'cup' contained green water after I saw the green water, or... I already knew that the 'cup' contained green water... through some strange way before I saw it."

The Gray Hand Man said, "What happened after you rose up?"

The man said, "The green water in the cup-like pool suddenly...sprayed towards me. It was very scary." The gray-handed man asked, "What happened to you?"

"I...I can only hide." said the man.

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

“I didn’t dodge.” The man said, “I… was sprayed with green water.”

The Gray Hand asked again: "And then?"

"I just heard laughter," said the man.

"Whose voice is that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I don't know." said the man.

"Haven't you ever heard that sound?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I seem to have heard it somewhere before." The man said, "But... I really can't remember whose voice it is."

The Gray Hand Man said, "What are the characteristics of that sound?"

The man replied: "The characteristic... is that it scares me."

The Gray Hand said, "There are more sounds that scare you than just this one, right?"

That person said: "Yes, more than that."

"Is this sound different from other sounds?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"The difference is... this laughter seems to be related to the green water." said the man.

"What does it matter?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I just feel that... as the laughter gets louder, a stream of green water reaching towards my mouth will... suddenly become very close to my mouth." said the man.

"Stretch out?" asked the man with gray hands.
