[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝑡𝑤𝑘𝑎𝑛.𝑐𝑜𝑚]
The originally deserted corridors were equipped with blue street lamps. This modern setting gave Ishtarin a strong sense of familiarity, as if it was a road he had walked countless times before.
Looking down along the mountain range, the Garula spirits wearing engineering hats whistled and directed their partners who formed an engineering machine to build road signs and pave roads... There was even a spectacle of a huge lighthouse!
Beyond the gorgeous and elegant archway and the Naihe Bridge, there was the city gate stained with endless blue. Those who walked through it were not living beings, but they walked through the streets and alleys like living beings in an orderly manner.
The silver full moon hung high in the sky, reflecting the prosperous city underground.
"This..." Rin was dumbfounded for a long time, turned around and looked at Fujimaru with a serious face, "When did we fall into the illusion?"
"..."
"It's impossible, the goddess of the underworld I know can't do this!" The goddess of the sky screamed, "In this case, I have completely lost to her, right?!"
This time, no one laughed at Ishtar's gaffe, except for Fujimaru who had a preconceived notion. The more people knew about Sumerian mythology, the more unbelievable it was.
"How is it possible? The rumored underworld can't even bloom flowers, and can only maintain a barren appearance... And what's the matter with the moon in the sky?"
In the control room, the doctor put his whole face on the screen, staring at the pixels that were put together.
There is no doubt that it is the moon.
But how can there be a satellite hanging in the sky in hell? The sky and the earth belong to the same weaving age of gods, so there should be one moon!
"Dear Da Vinci..."
"Don't ask me, I don't know either." The beautiful woman picked up the coffee cup and hid the shock in her eyes, "This is beyond my imagination. Even I can't imagine who brought the moon to this underworld."
Beep, beep, the prompt sound sounded with the diligent report of the staff: "A large number of spirits are approaching."
"The messenger of the goddess of the underworld, the Garula spirits." In the singularity, Merlin also recognized the translucent figures swarming in, "It seems that the goddess has discovered our arrival, huh?"
As the Garula spirits approached, everyone clearly found that they were holding a large sign with four words written on it in a flamboyant style -
Welcome.
"...Are we a tour group to the underworld?" Anna complained in a low voice. Before everyone could react, the Garula spirits surrounded them, and a gentle force rose, pushing everyone towards the capital.
"What should we do, Fujimaru?"
"Since we're here now." Fujimaru was the most relaxed among all the people present. He looked at the capital city surrounded by lights, and did not hide his curiosity. "Then let's follow the goddess's messenger before the king finds us."

Pedestrian Street in the Underworld
Although there was no sound of talking, the souls shuttled back and forth, which was also lively.
"Take a look, the underworld must have a civil service exam... Civil service exam?!"
"Mastaba grave custom made, no cheating, haha."
"Urn promotion, the second urn is half price, uh, what a mess it is."
Passing by the ghost stalls, everyone looked at each other while reading the stone tablets in front of the stalls, not knowing what to say for a while.
Will we not be spared from taking the civil service exam even if we go to hell?
How can there be such a concept as exams in the Age of Gods?
And...
"Can you do something earthly?"
"But, Fujimaru, this is the underworld."
"Uh...ah, look here!"
Fujimaru noticed a store. He pointed at the sign at the door and read excitedly:
"Featured photo stickers for a limited time free trial!"
"Oh, this is good!" The first to respond to him was the lofty goddess of heaven, "I haven't played this kind of thing since I went to the clock tower... ahem."
It seems that something incredible has been exposed.
"Interesting, I want to try it too." Merlin also showed an interested look, "Where's Shuoyue?"
"Let's go, Anna." Shuoyue pulled the cat hood to prevent Anna from slipping away, "Come, let me see."
"No..." Anna protected her clothes with a stubborn look on her face, but it was a pity that Jinli C could never be a match for Shuoyue who had the heart of a dragon. She was directly picked up and rushed into the photo studio with a cry.
"Three, two, one, eggplant!"
After the flash, the photo was quickly developed. Fujimaru reached out to take it. A group of people gathered together. Even Anna pretended to be indifferent and peeked through the gap.
With a "snap", Fujimaru suddenly closed the photo and said righteously: "Let's get back to business. We should go find the goddess of the underworld..."
"Hey! Don't be so stingy, Fujimaru, I haven't even looked at it yet!" Ishtar shouted dissatisfiedly. While Fujimaru was not paying attention, she grabbed the photo in her hand. When she took it up and looked at it, the expectant smile on her face froze.
"This..."
"Why is it a black and white photo!"
Under the special lighting, everyone in the photo looked pale and had a weird expression. With the black and white tones, it looked like a family portrait of a deceased person.
The sound and appearance are still there.jpg
Huhu, the store owner floated over, holding a new sign in his hand.
【Our store also provides framing service】
"No need!!!" Everyone said in unison.
After bidding farewell to the deceased's license processing office, everyone then went to experience the newly opened 'Hell Spicy Jiugongge' hot pot restaurant, the human house, and 'Nai He's Tea'.
[The boss enthusiastically recommends - classic Meng Po soup tea! ! ! 】
"Where did you learn this advertising slogan? Forget it... go ahead, Fujimaru, the decision is yours!"
"Eh?!"
With all the followers looking on without taking it too seriously, the young man swallowed his saliva, took the milk tea cup tremblingly, and tried to take a sip——
"How's it going? Does it taste good?"
"It tastes good... Hey, what is this? Meng Po soup? Take a sip."
A grunt.
"What is this? Meng Po soup? Take a bite."
Gudu.
"Meng Po soup? Have a taste."
Gudu.
"Take a taste."
Gudu.
"taste……"
"Stop Fujimaru!" Merlin finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted. Together with Anna, he stopped the poor boy who was trapped in an amnesia loop. Sakusuki and Ishtar were holding their stomachs behind, not to mention laughing so loudly. .
After waiting for Fujimaru to wake up completely, everyone blacklisted the milk tea shops such as "Shanghai Meng Po", "Gu Ming", and "Mixue Funeral City". They walked around and finally came to the end of the pedestrian street.
"In commemoration of the seventh day of the official opening of the street, there is a prize competition?" Fujimaru looked at the large stage blocking the center of the archway and said curiously, "The prize for answering seven questions correctly is the underworld dragon crystal... eh, so big? !”
In the center of the stage, a gemstone at least twenty centimeters in diameter was placed on silk cloth, quietly waiting for the challenger to arrive.
"Let's go, Fujimaru, if you want to bring such a large gem back to Chaldea, you will consume too much magic resources and the gain will outweigh the loss." The doctor said through the communication bracelet, "And we may not be able to answer the questions about Hades. "
"That's right." Fujimaru nodded and turned to greet everyone, "Let's go to the temple to find King Gilgamesh."
But at this moment, someone reached out to stop Fujimaru. The black-haired goddess stood in front of the stage, looking at the unparalleled obsidian with unblinking eyes.
"Ishtar, do you want to..."
"Yes, I didn't expect such a beautiful treasure to be born in the underworld. Since it is a gem, I, Ishtar, will be determined!"
