Chapter 503 We Are All Guilty
The eldest sister saw Annan's indescribable expression and waved her hand nonchalantly:
"Newcomers like you don't quite understand. You'll understand slowly!"
As she spoke, she put on a profound look and said, "Once you understand the reason for this natural disaster, you will naturally trust in the Mother Goddess."
What causes natural disasters?
Annan raised her eyebrows. In her two lifetimes, she had never heard of anyone being able to figure out the cause of this natural disaster. This elder sister is quite arrogant?
Gu Zhiyu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "You also know the cause of natural disasters?"
The eldest sister did not hear the sarcasm in his words. Instead, she said proudly, "Of course I know! Not only me, but everyone here knows."
Everyone knows?
That's obviously not a serious answer.
An Nan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other, then looked at the eldest sister: "Tell me about it?"
"It's no secret..." The eldest sister suddenly sighed: "This natural disaster, in the final analysis, is all due to our sins."
Annan raised his eyebrows: "Your sins?"
The eldest sister said with a "tsk". "What do you mean by you? It's us, our fault."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, pointing at Annan and Gu Zhiyu, and emphasized, "We!"
Annan pointed at himself and said, "Including me?"
The eldest sister nodded: "Of course!"
At this point, she glanced at Annan's face and said, "But be gentle. It's easier for you to atone for your sins than for us!"
Annan wanted to laugh: "What crime is it? Why should I be given a lighter sentence?"
They had never met before. How could the other party know how many people she had killed and what bad things she had done? And where did she get the right to judge other people's sins?
The originally warm and simple elder sister now looked like a crazy fortune teller:
"We are all sinners. Those who are innocent are enjoying happiness in heaven, and only those of us who are guilty are banished to the mortal world. This is the legendary hell."
Annan tried hard to hold back his laughter: "Then why did this hell suddenly become so chaotic when it was always fine?"
The eldest sister immediately said, "Because there has been too much sin accumulated, it has completely exploded in our generation!"
Her tone was very contagious: "Just think about it! We humans are still not at peace in hell and we keep committing crimes. Of course, this will anger the gods!"
It's actually logically consistent and self-explanatory.
Annan was silent. Whoever loves is guilty, but she is not guilty.
She has always had a creed in her heart: I kill people, I set fires, but I am not wrong.
The eldest sister saw that she was obviously not convinced, and immediately said: "I know what you are thinking. People are like this at the beginning, unwilling to admit their crimes. But you will understand in the future."
She paused and said in a very gentle tone: "Since the God of Light brought you here, it means that you are the lucky ones chosen by God. You will repent and be saved like us in the future."
Annan did not continue her conversation but asked, "What is your crime?"
The elder sister sighed and said, "I have committed so many sins. The sin of cursing, the sin of insulting, the sin of greed, the sin of complaining..."
Annan raised his eyebrows: "So many?"
The elder sister nodded and said, "Whenever I quarreled with my husband, I always liked to say 'Go to the other side of the road'. Later, he really died in the flood... It's all my fault. I committed the sin of cursing with my tongue."
"And my daughter, she never understood her homework since she was little, and I always scolded her for being stupid. Later, she was so stupid that she was tricked by an ugly man to marry far away... Guess where she married? Nima, Africa!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have realized something, crossed his hands over his chest, looked up at the sky and whispered:
"Foshi! Please forgive me for my foul language, Mother Goddess."
After a while, she continued to talk to Annan: "There is also greed. My family used to run a snack stall. I sold pancakes and my husband sold fried skewers. We made tens of thousands of dollars every month.
But I always complained about being tired and having an undignified life. When I saw my old classmates marrying well and becoming wealthy wives, I blamed my husband and God..."
"These are all my sins! That's why God sent down natural disasters to punish me."
From her expression, it was clear that these words came from her heart, but Annan did not understand.
Arguing with the husband, scolding the children, envying others' affluent lives... Aren't these all normal lives for ordinary people?
Is this a natural disaster?
If she were to say so, then everyone would be guilty.
Annan was too lazy to argue with her about whether it was a sin or not, so he asked directly: "You are the God of Light, the God of Heaven, and the Goddess of Motherhood. Which God do you believe in?"
The elder sister noticed her impatience and gave her a reproachful look:
"The Mother Goddess is the God of Light we believe in. She is the mother of mankind. The Sky God is the ruler of the universe and the husband of the God of Light."
Gu Zhiyu on the side couldn't help but mutter: "You've become a god, and you still know how to get married?"
The eldest sister's eyes widened: "You kid, don't talk nonsense and blaspheme!"
As soon as the words "blasphemy" came out, people passing by immediately looked over.
The gentle and kind expressions before disappeared. Only cold, expressionless faces were left, staring at them.
Like a ghost.
This face change is really a bit creepy...
Annan looked at the bustling crowd warily, feeling a little uneasy and wanting to draw his gun.
But she still calmed down. After all, they hadn't done anything to offend her and Gu Zhiyu. She couldn't just kill everyone just because they looked at her, right?
Whether it was because of her past good impression of Jesan City or because of the courtesy shown to her by these people just now, she did not want to carry out a massacre.
So he raised his lips and said to the elder sister with a smile: "You misunderstood. My man speaks directly and sticks to the facts! Didn't you say that these two gods are husband and wife?"
The mother stared at her for a few seconds, then softened a lot.
This girl's attitude is quite nice, much better than those outsiders who came here before.
Those stubborn people who came before would always call these believers crazy - even though these people eventually converted to the God of Light.
The elder sister knew that the two were not believers yet, so they were inevitably a little careless in what they said, so she waved her hands and said, "I understand, I understand! I didn't explain it clearly."
Then he continued to speak vividly.
The people around turned away, and the street became bustling again, as if nothing had happened.
"It is because we, the slaves of sin, have committed so many sins in the human world that the gods are angry and punish us, causing us to suffer endless natural disasters."
