Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5409 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Nine) Hedgehog
"Yes, it seems that after the tree bead has changed, we can no longer ask casually about those related matters." said the man with gray hands.

Just then, the man said to the Gray Hand Man, "I remember now!"

The Gray Hands looked at the man and said, "Have you ever had any experience with needle pricks before?"

The man said, "It's not real, but... I had this kind of dream, and I remember it now."

"What dream?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"In my dream, I walked to a place with small sharp stones on the ground. It seemed like someone tripped me, and I... fell to the ground. When my back was close to the ground, I suddenly felt a stab in my back." said the man.

"Isn't this stone?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It was still stone at the time, but...it was different later," the man said.

"What happened next?" the Gray Hands Man asked again.

The man said, "I wanted to look back to see who tripped me, and when I turned around, I saw... a man holding a bunch of needles, looking at me with strange eyes. I wanted to get up quickly, but before I could get up, I heard him say, 'The needle is the stone, and the stone is the needle.'"

The Gray Hand asked, "What happened next?"

"Then I felt something... a needle sticking into my back," the man said.

"Are you up?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"No." The man said, "I didn't seem to have enough strength to get up at that time."

The Gray Hand Man said, "Did you speak?"

"I did." The man said, "In the dream, I asked him... if he was the one who tripped me."

The Gray Hand said, "Did he answer you?"

"He said... I tripped myself." The man said. "What about you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I said it was impossible," the man said, "because at that time I really felt someone tripping me from behind."

The Gray Hand asked again: "How did he react?"

"He said... I can say whatever I want. Anyway, there are already needles pricking my back." said the man.

"And then what happened?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Then... he kicked me with his toes, and I... sat on the ground." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "Did he prop you up with his feet?"

The man said, "After he kicked me, I sat up by myself. While I was sitting there, his feet left my body. The strange thing is that I didn't do anything else in my dream at that time. I didn't even stand up by myself."

The Gray Hand asked again: "What happened next?"

The man said, "I heard a bunch of people laughing at me... saying that I finally stabbed myself."

The Gray Hand asked, "And then?"

"I said in my dream that I didn't prick myself," the man said, "and then they said...my back was full of needles, like a...hedgehog."

The Gray Hand asked, "Go on."

That person said, "I said there are no needles on the ground, and there are no needles on my back. It's just that a stone pricked me, but... I didn't feel that much pain. Just after I said this, my back... my back suddenly felt very painful. At this time, the person who I suspected of tripping me said again: 'Needles are stones, and stones are needles.' I thought... maybe the sharp stone that pricked me before has turned into a needle, otherwise, those people have no reason to say... my back is full of needles and that I look like a hedgehog. After all... that sharp stone is not that thin, even if... it pricked my back, I would not look like a hedgehog."
