Annie opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She stared blankly at the water, her body covered with a blue cloth. Who could have imagined that she would be covered with that cloth today? Did my parents find out? Are they rushing over now? Is her father holding the boarding pass, unconsciously folding it, while her mother cries, on the verge of passing out? Annie suddenly felt a lump in her throat and regretted it.
Why did she care about other people’s lives? She had put her own life at stake in the unnecessary fight.
Is it worth it? Even if she had not died, was it worth coming to Cloud Province just to prove a point to each other, saying, “If you have the guts, come here”? Both of them had intended to go to Cloud Province for fun.
Before leaving, they excitedly told their classmates that they were going on a trip to Cloud Province and would take some beautiful photos and bring back local specialties for them! But neither Annie nor Catalina expected that the other would come.
Neither of them expected that this trip would be the end of their lives.
From arguing in the comments online to exchanging private messages.
And from exchanging private messages to sharing locations.
After the meeting, there was a chance for them to have a friendly conversation, but they were unwilling to back down and instead confronted each other with hostility, pointing fingers and hurling insults...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe investigator roughly explained the situation to Catalina’s mother.
Catalina’s mother collapsed and shouted while holding her daughter’s body, “Impossible! My daughter would never argue with anyone! | know my daughter. She doesn’t even like to talk in daily life. How could she end up here fighting with someone?” “Catalina, my dear Catalina, is not like this.” The grieving mother held her daughter's body, crying and wailing.
The onlookers could only sigh, and the rescue personnel remained silent, feeling sad and helpless.
During their years of rescue work, they had seen too many deaths caused by various strange reasons.
Outsiders could not offer much comfort, as only family members could truly understand the pain.
Catalina and Annie had long forgotten about their mission to die again. Annie stood blankly by the river while Catalina stayed with her mother.
When both families arrived and met, they began to cry and accuse each other. Ultimately, they turned to their phones and discovered the reasons for their drowning.
Annie and Catalina saw their faces in the funeral home.
Everything gradually became clear, like a road they could never return to. It became clear, but they could never go back.
With the official announcement, the cause of their deaths was also revealed. Following their final clearing on the internet, there were numerous comments and disputes.
“To fight over such a small matter and end up killing oneself, what an idiot!” “Women are all so petty and narrow-minded. It's better off if they're dead, haha!” “What does this matter have to do with gender? It’s ridiculous! Don’t men fight? Many men fight and stab each other to death.
Why don’t you mention that?” The new round of arguments unexpectedly turned into a battle between men and women instead of mourning the unfortunate deaths of the two of them.
Catalina and Annie did indeed die again.
Drowned in rumors and gossip.
Both of their faces had regained their original appearance.
However, both faces were pale and lifeless.
“Let's go; it's time to move on.” The passionate spirit hunched over, leaning on a cane.
“You are living a busy life. Everything is fast... That's why you easily end up fighting.” “Before, we could only contact each other by sending letters. It's unnecessary to argue like this. By the time the letter arrives, the anger has already dissipated.” The passionate spirit shook his head, saying that the time had changed and there was nothing more to say.
Annie and Catalina followed behind the passionate spirit, returning to the underworld again. This time, they kept their heads down and said nothing. They truly felt relieved, regretful, and desolate, knowing that there would not be another chance.
“Do you two have anything else to say?” Lilly asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth of them shook their heads.
“Words can be as harmful as an axe. For causing death due to verbal disputes, you will go to the hell of tongue-pulling and then be reincarnated. Do you have any objections?” Both of them thought it was just a few arguments, and going to hell seemed to be a minor crime.
But then they thought about how their parents had cried until they fainted, and the same was true for the other party’s parents.
They had caused each other's deaths and ultimately their own deaths. There was nothing more to say.
“No objections.” Both of them looked gloomy and spoke in unison.
Lilly nodded and said, “Alright, go ahead!” She signed the document.
The two female ghosts lowered their heads and left separately.
Lilly looked at the standard answers in the book...
The first layer of the Hell of Tongue-Pulling.
“Anyone in the world who engages in acts such as sowing discord, slandering others, being smooth-tongued, being skilled in debate, or lying and deceiving others will be sent to this hell after death.
Additionally, those who disrespect ghosts and gods, practitioners, or slander Catholicism will be sent to this hell.” Lilly stared at the line at the back and suddenly laughed.
