The typhoon in Wyndon hadn't completely passed yet, and it was still raining when Lilly got out of the car. Despite being the months of July and August, it unexpectedly felt a bit chilly. Lilly wore a thin jacket, and even Josh and the others added a shirt jacket to their attire.
Blake held an umbrella, but Lilly dashed ahead, her little face filled with urgency.
"Lilly, what's wrong?" Blake asked.
Lilly stood on the street, watching the wind howling and the sparse number of pedestrians braving the rain.
"Daddy, did you see that old lady just now?" Lilly asked.
Blake shook his head in confusion. "No, I didn't."
Josh and Hannah were even more bewildered. They didn't notice any old person when they arrived, and now Lilly was talking about an old lady again...
When they arrived, it was on the opposite side of the road, so they could pass it off as not seeing her. But they didn't see her on this side either as they walked all the way here.
Josh said, "Lilly, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
Lilly murmured, "I didn't see wrong..."
When they arrived, she saw the old lady in person.
But just now, she saw her spirit...
A chill ran through Lilly's heart, and the rain blown by the strong wind landed on her face, making her feel cold.
Pablo asked, "What's wrong?"
Lilly bit her lip and said, "There was an old lady... She wasn't dead when we arrived, but just now I saw her spirit."
Pablo furrowed his brow and asked, "Is there anything special about this old lady?"
Countless beings come and go in the mortal realm. Every day, babies are born, and people pass away. In the grand scheme of countless lives, there isn't a single person who is truly special. If she had to pay attention to every person she saw once, as a resident of Little Hades, she wouldn't be able to keep up...
But Lilly said, "I saw this old lady when I was doodling with the Pen of Judgment."
Lilly pondered for a moment and continued, "It's like watching an animated series, even before it's aired, I knew this old lady would appear."
Pablo was taken aback.
What does she mean??
The Pen of Judgment does allow you to see how someone's life will turn out, but...
Seeing the future is different!
Lilly had never seen that old lady, but she saw her under the influence of the Pen of Judgment. That was a true glimpse into the future.
Pablo felt overwhelmed and immediately took Lilly's hand. "Come on, let's go find her."
He wanted to understand what was going on!
Blake also understood and his expression turned solemn.
They walked up and down the street, searching for the old lady, but couldn't find her no matter how long they looked.
Josh and Hannah wore baffled expressions and kept asking, "What are we looking for? What's going on?"
Lilly said seriously, "Josh, you wouldn't want to know."
Josh fell silent.
Okay, let's take out the camera.
Max, who had parked the car, followed along. He held the umbrella, with Drake and Zachary beneath it.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Josh taking out his camera, prompting Max to say, "Are you taking pictures? What's there to capture in this stormy weather..."
Josh's gaze shifted, and he said, "Uncle Max, my camera is a bit different. You'll see in a moment."
Max shook his head, wondering what could be so different. He had seen cameras with advanced technology before.
Blake pointed to a small restaurant and said, "Let's go in and ask."
Lilly pushed open the door and called out, "Boss..."
The boss stood up, thinking there was a customer. "Hello, would you like to have a meal? How many of you?"
Lilly apologized, "Sorry, we're not here to eat."
