Annie was stunned when Catalina’s speech ended, but after a while, the two began to quarrel again! They each had their justifications, and neither of them intended to concede defeat.
When it was all said and done, they both turned to Lilly and questioned, “Ms. Hades, who do you think is right?”
Lilly was unable to make a statement. Who was right?
Lilly was thinking about Annie’s point of view at the same time she was thinking about Catalina’s point of view. Who was to blame? Where is the flaw?
Pablo frowned and was about to remind Lilly.
“No, why should I judge which of these two points of view is right?” she thought in an instant. She shouldn’t make moral judgments about who was right or wrong in this situation. A thousand people had a thousand different kinds of thoughts, and their own opinions were inherently correct.
It was comparable to a man who had only ever seen red watermelon flesh in his entire life. He determined that the flesh of a watermelon was red. He was concerned when someone mentioned that the flesh of a watermelon was yellow.
Those who had seen yellow-skinned watermelons, on the other hand, would believe this individual was sick! They would regard him as uneducated and arrogant.
Thus, she did not need to determine which viewpoint was correct. Annie and Catalina were fighting when they fell into the river and drowned. In theory, they were both murdered. They killed each other, and there was nothing they could say at this point.
She only needed to know about their prior lives, their overall character, whether they had done anything nice or evil, and whether they had ever committed any acts that would have caused them to enter hell.
She was the Ruler of Hell; all she needed to do was decide whether they would be reincarnated or sent to hell. And there were written rules for this; she just needed to read through the book.
Lilly immediately flipped through the book. Annie was speechless, and Catalina was at a loss for words.
As she read through the book, Lilly exclaimed, “Compared to who is right and who is wrong… I am more interested to know where your faces have gone.”
Pablo was relieved and sad at the same time. Although she was only eight years old, she already had a clearer perspective than many adults. Perhaps kids live in a simpler world than adults do. So the way of thinking had gotten rather straightforward?
Pablo then asked Annie and Catalina, “Have you lost your faces?” He appeared to understand what was happening as he looked through the Book of Life.
And sure enough, Catalina and Annie stated, looking lost, “I don’t know where my face went.” The argument ended up in the river, where they yanked each other violently until they both drowned.
Their faces were still there when Pablo looked back to the moment before the argument. “You can’t see your face clearly before you die, right?” Pablo inquired. “The person’s face is the last thing you see.”
Catalina remained silent, and Annie was also silent. That was right. They were thinking about killing each other while drowning in the river, staring at one another, wishing for the other to die right before their eyes.
“Master, so where are their faces?” questioned Lilly.
“Their faces are in each other’s eyes,” Blake remarked casually.
They were all going to drown when they all tumbled into the river, but they kept fighting. Finally, they lost track of themselves and remembered the other party. They forgot who they were to win.
Pablo nodded in agreement with Blake’s statement and remarked, “Yes, they are representatives of millions of netizens who quarrel online. It is better to describe that their faces are blurred rather than that they can see each other’s faces in each other’s eyes.”
People might not recall who they argued with, but they must remember that an idiot said something he couldn’t stand. People used to argue in the village, and remembering who that idiot was. The generation had changed. Now, people were fighting online, and after cursing, they might even forget each other’s names.
“So everyone forgot their identities and lost their faces,” Lilly suddenly realized. Pablo agreed.
With their faces locked in each other’s eyes, Annie and Catalina both appeared confused. But the other party’s face had gone; where had the eyes gone?
“Go find your face, and come back when you find it,” Lilly replied while waving her hand.
“The absence of any bodily parts is not conducive to reincarnation. Of course, if you want to reincarnate directly, you may be born with a ruined face in your next life.”
For example, if Hannah’s grandmother was killed by a car and was missing a finger when she was hit and did not recover it and went directly to reincarnation, then there must be a missing finger in the next life, and the other missing parts correspond to corresponding disabilities or defects.
Both Annie and Catalina murmured to one another, then they both stopped fighting and went back to find their faces.
“Passionate spirit, follow up and take a look!” Lilly exclaimed abruptly.
The passionate spirit rose and floated out slowly while saying, “Okay.”
