The cold and gloomy environment of the underworld makes people shudder.

Instinctively, the chill that hits from all directions will creep and terrify this space.

The only light that illuminates the underworld is the scattered arms on both sides of the road, like street lamps. The style resembles a birdcage, but it is longer than a birdcage, with chains bound to it, and a dark blue ghostfire burning during the period.

"Those are?"

Although the ghost fire burned, it was not warm, but it exuded a kind of coldness, which made Fujimaru Rika instinctively cast her gaze, and gradually became a little fascinated, and froze in place.

Of course, it is a very pure substance that has the property of attracting and confusing the eyes of the living.

"I have a bad feeling······

"Don't stare at them."

Bai Hua suddenly spoke, dragged back Fujimaru Rika, who had stretched out his hand to the gun sill at some point, and solemnly instructed: "Those are the sill made by the goddess of the underworld and used to imprison the soul, and the blue fire ball you see is the posture of the human soul." ”

"That... Those are all human souls?! Rika Fujimaru was slightly surprised.

"In this way, it really fits the description of the underworld in myths and legends." As if confirming something, Ma Xiu nodded to himself, and immediately looked at the entire underworld, which was densely lit from his position, like the glow of a huge winding snake, and sighed with palpitations: "There are so many... All are the souls of the dead. ”

"It is normal for Ereshkigal to turn the entire city of Kusa into a dead city, plus the people who died in weakness everywhere." Bai Hua pointed to the sill of the gun and said, "Gilgamesh is not an exception, it just happened to happen in front of us. ”

The voice fell, and Rika Fujimaru and Matthew fell silent, realizing how dangerous the current human situation really was.

Only the little white beast at their feet can still send out "Fufu ~ Fu!" Screams.

But it looks like he's comforting the two of them and trying to cheer them up in this way.

"This is... Three Goddesses Alliance? ”

"What? Think Ereshkigal is cruel? Bai Hua asked with interest.

"Seeing this scene, maybe... She may be just like the myth, a cruel and evil goddess. Fujimaru Rika replied with some hesitation.

He had no contact with Ereshkigale, and he didn't even know much about Sumerian mythology, except that he had heard Romani mention a few related legends before leaving for the underworld. There is no way to understand each other based on such unreliable things as legends. After all, the legend of the Moon World······

- King Arthur was a woman.

- Nero the Tyrant is a woman.

- Attila is a woman.

- Astolfo is... Oh, this one is a man.

In short, none of the legends of the Moon World are reliable.

But the countless guns in the underworld, and the scenes in front of him, all made Fujimaru Ritsuka have to believe that maybe this time, the legend is rare and in line with the facts.

"Really? You think so. ”

"In this cold environment, even if only the soul remains, staying in the underworld is a disguised torture." Fujimaru Rika looked at Bai Hua with some confusion.

Bai Hua nodded and shook his head again.

"Indeed, after all, these souls have come to the underworld because of the power of Ereshkigal. What's more, the soul that has lost its body is not something that can withstand destruction in itself, and the flame of the soul will be extinguished because of a breeze. The cold of Hades is also a deadly threat to the soul. ”

The soul that has lost its physical body has no warmth at all, and staying in the underworld can only be forced to accept the erosion of the cold.

"That's why we have these guns."

"Huh?!"

"Fujimaru, what do you think the human soul is and what does it mean to God? Fear, faith, deterrence, or a source of energy? ”

“······”

"There is no meaning, the soul of the ordinary human being, whose soul is neither brilliant nor pure, worthless in the eyes of God. So, why waste energy on making gun sill to imprison these useless souls? Bai Hua said with a smile.

In fact, after entering the underworld, seeing these guns, the image of Eleshkigal in his heart has begun to change.

At least, it's interesting, isn't it?

"And what the hell are these souls?" Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was already uneasy because she was in the underworld, was even more puzzled at the moment: "I always feel that Bai Hua suddenly began to speak for the enemy." ”

"Well, I don't deny that Ereshkigal is an enemy now, but it is precisely because of the enemy that I need to understand the other party." Bai Hua said meaningfully: "You look at these gun thresholds, even if they are goddesses, it takes some energy to make them." ”

Every ghost fire is a soul, and every soul has a sill.

It took a lot of energy to make so many gun thresholds, just to simply imprison the soul, no matter how you look at it, right?

"Let's think about it another way, the gun sill does imprison the freedom of the soul. But on the other hand, it is also the fragile soul that is the only protection in Hades. Only with this level of sills will the soul not be eroded by the cold of Hades. It's cruel to the soul, but it's the only way to be comfortable. With that, Bai Hua didn't say anything more and walked forward silently.

And Matthew finally figured it out, pulled Fujimaru Rika, who was still pondering, and said.

"Senior, senior, what Mr. Bai Hua said is very reasonable. Although the goddess Ereshkigal has caused many humans to fall into the underworld, she has helped the souls to make so many 'homes', she will definitely not be a cruel and ruthless goddess! ”

"Home?"

"That's right, the place that can shelter from the wind and rain should be 'home'." Matthew said with a simple face: "Moreover, if the priesthood is work, the goddess Ereshkigal must be very conscientious and diligent, and has made so many gun thresholds, which is really, really powerful." ”

"Maybe so."

Fujimaru Rika smiled bitterly, the thoughts in her heart seemed to have changed, she shook her head, and then followed Bai Hua.

A group of three people and one beast soon came to an ancient stone door.

"Is this..."

"Sevenfold Gate."

At this time, support from as far away as Chaldea finally arrived.

"It is the sevenfold gate that exists in the underworld in Sumerian mythology and can judge good and evil." The other Chaldean was Servant, and Leonardo da Vinci's voice rang out.

Then, Romani followed suit.

"That's right! In Sumerian mythology, the underworld has a just and rational door, and anyone who comes to the door will be faced with the question of choosing one or the other that the door raises. In order to judge good and evil, only through the trial of the sevenfold gate can you see Ereshkigale, otherwise, because of the cold of the underworld, the soul will be frozen until it is destroyed. ”
