My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 764: A Day Trip to the Underworld
The originally deserted corridor was now lit 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 companions who were organized into engineering machines to build road signs, pave roads...there was even the spectacle of a huge lighthouse!

Passing the gorgeous and elegant archway and behind the Naihe Bridge is the city gate immersed in endless dark blue. People walking through it are not living beings, but they move through the streets and alleys like living beings in an orderly manner.

A silver full moon hangs high in the sky, reflecting the bustling city below.

"This..." Rin was dumbfounded for a long time, then turned around and looked at Fujimaru seriously, "When did we fall into the illusion?"

"..."

"Impossible! The goddess of the underworld I know is totally incapable of doing this!" The goddess of heaven screamed, "In this case, I have completely lost to her, haven't I?!"

This time, no one laughed at Ishtar's gaffe, except Fujimaru who had preconceived notions. The more people knew about Sumerian mythology, the more unbelievable it found it.

"How is that possible? The rumored underworld cannot even bloom flowers. It can only remain barren forever... And what's with that moon in the sky?"

In the control room, the doctor leaned his entire face towards the screen, staring at the few pixels that were clustered together.

There was no doubt that it was the moon.

But how could there be a satellite hanging in the sky in Hell? The heavens and the earth all belong to the same Age of Weaving Gods, so there should be only 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 reminder sounded along with the staff's diligent report: "A large number of spirits are approaching."

"The messengers of the goddess of the underworld, the Garula spirits." In the singularity, Merlin also recognized the translucent figures swarming over. "It seems that the goddess has already noticed our arrival, huh?"

As the Garula spirits approached, everyone clearly discovered that they were holding up a large sign with four words written in a flamboyant style:

welcome.

"...Are we some kind of underworld sightseeing tour?" Anna complained quietly. Before anyone could react, the Garula spirits surrounded them, and a gentle force rose up, pushing everyone towards the capital.

"What should we do, Fujimaru?"

"Now that we're here." Fujimaru was the most relaxed among all the people present. He looked at the capital city lit up with lights, not hiding his curiosity. "Then let's follow the goddess's messenger before the king comes to find us."

Hades Walking Street

Although there was no sound of talking, the souls shuttling back and forth created a lively atmosphere.

"Take a look, take a look, the civil service exam in the underworld is a must... civil service exam?!"

"The mastaba tomb is custom made, no cheating, haha."

"There's a sale on urns. The second urn is half price. Ugh, what the hell is this?"

Passing by each ghost stall, people read the stone slabs in front of the stalls and looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Even if we go to hell and take the civil service exam, won’t we be spared?
By the way, how come there is such a concept as exams in the Age of Gods?
as well as……

"Can you do some earthly work?"

"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 are free for a limited time!”

"Oh, this is good!" The first person to respond to him was the high and mighty Goddess of Heaven. "I haven't played this kind of thing since I went to the Clock Tower... ahem."

It seemed like something terrible had 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's hood to prevent Anna from slipping away, "Come, let me take care of you."

"No..." Anna protected her clothes with a stubborn look on her face, but it was a pity that Jinli C was no match for Shuoyue, who had the heart of a dragon. She was picked up and rushed into the photo studio. "Three, two, one, eggplant!"

After the flash, the photo was quickly developed. Fujimaru reached out to take it, and a group of people gathered together. Even Anna pretended not to care and stole a glance through the gap.

With a "snap", Fujimaru suddenly closed the photo and said sternly, "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 seen it yet!" Ishtar shouted in dissatisfaction. When Fujimaru wasn't paying attention, she snatched the photo. When she took a look 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 has a pale face and a weird expression, and with the black and white tones, it looks like a family portrait.

The voice and appearance are still there.jpg
Whoosh, the shop 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 posthumous portrait office, everyone went on to experience the newly opened "Hell Spicy Nine Grid" hot pot restaurant, Renwu, and "Naihe's Tea".

[The boss recommends the classic Mengpo tea!!!]

"Where on earth did you learn this advertising slogan? Never mind... Go ahead, Fujimaru, I've decided it's you!"

"Eh?!"

As the servants watched the fun, the boy swallowed his saliva, took the cup of milk tea tremblingly, and tried to take a sip.

"How's it going? Does it taste good?"

"Delicious... Hey, what is this? Meng Po soup? Have a sip."

A grunt.

"What is this? Meng Po soup? Have a sip."

grunt.

"Meng Po soup? Have a sip."

grunt.

"Take a taste."

grunt.

"taste……"

"Quickly stop Fujimaru!" Merlin finally realized that something was wrong, and shouted hurriedly. Together with Anna, he stopped the poor boy who was trapped in the amnesia cycle, while Sakutsuki and Ishtar covered their stomachs behind them and laughed so loudly.

After waiting for Fujimaru to wake up completely, everyone blacklisted a number of milk tea shops including "Shanghai Mengpo", "Gu Ming", "Mi Xue Funeral City", etc., walked around, and finally came to the end of the pedestrian street.

"A commemorative event for the seventh day of the official opening of the street, a prize-winning guessing contest?" Fujimaru looked at the huge stage in the center of the archway and read curiously, "The prize for answering seven questions correctly is the Underworld Dragon Crystal... Hey, it's so big?!"

In the center of the stage, a gem at least 20 centimeters in diameter was placed on a silk cloth, quietly waiting for the challenger to arrive.

"Let's go, Fujimaru. Bringing such a large gem back to Chaldea will consume too much magic power. It's not worth it." The doctor said in the communication bracelet, "Besides, we may not be able to answer the questions in the underworld."

"That's true." 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, staring at the unparalleled obsidian without blinking.

"Ishtar, do you want to..."

"Yes, I never thought that such a beautiful treasure would be born in the underworld. Since it is a gem, I, Ishtar, will definitely take it!"
