After leaving the pharmacy, Taoyuan Township itself has a lot of scenery to enjoy, especially the one called Yoro Waterfall that a certain mythical beast mentioned before, and there is an incredible waterfall full of Daiginjo.

Although Bai Ze said that they could take a few bottles home, everyone just looked at it curiously, and only a few people who are good at drinking tried to drink a couple of glasses. The Daiginjo was unexpectedly delicious, but That's all, they all felt that they had received a considerable degree of preferential treatment from Bai Ze, and it would be a bit unkind to rub off on other people's wine.

Although Gui Deng felt that it would be okay to take away all the Daiginjo in the waterfall, but their restrained behavior made him very happy.

After sitting under the peach tree and admiring the flowers for a while, and then went to watch the concert held by the nearby gods, the group happily followed the ghost lamp and left here.

"The area of ​​Heaven that is open to tourists in this world has been released, where else do you want to go?" Ghost Lantern led them around for a long time before asking, seeing them shaking their heads together, they nodded in satisfaction, "Then let's take a break and go visit the sightseeing area of ​​hell."

"Oh!" A group of people neatly uttered words of approval.

"Then let's go." Ghost Lantern took out the high-end bus that he had put away earlier from his sleeve - that beautiful golden cloud.

After a group of people got on the high-end bus, the ghost lamp drove the clouds towards hell.

The speed level of the high-end bus is very fast. It is obviously just a cloud, but its flying speed is no less than that of a sports car. More importantly, it is very stable when sitting on it, and it does not feel any discomfort at all.

It took less than ten minutes to fly from heaven to hell. Seeing the gate of the underworld reappeared, they were all curious. Should they go through the court hall or go directly to hell?

"Just enter directly." Ghost Lantern resolved their doubts with one sentence, "It takes quite a long time for the dead to walk from the Gate of Underworld to the Judgment Hall. We can enter Hell directly from Santu River."

"Santu River..." In the past, I really wanted to go, but after I came to hell, Osamu Dazai couldn't help but didn't know what to say, especially after knowing what would happen to those who go to hell. up.

Santuchuan is very similar to the legendary one. Looking down from the flying position of the clouds, there is a vermilion bridge on the wide river. There are two tall dark trees at both ends of the bridge. There is no green leaf on the trees. , Instead, it was covered with all kinds of white clothes.

The dead received the first trial of Duoyipo at the entrance. People who passed through the position of Duoyipo were divided into three categories. Those who were innocent or lightly charged could cross the bridge safely, those who were guilty took a ferry, and those who committed serious crimes Need to cross the river alone.

The river in Santuchuan is fast-moving. Giant snakes and giant crabs can easily set off huge waves in the river. If the ferry is not careful, it will be overturned. They will even run to attack people who cross the river at will. Big snakes are easy The giant crab just swallowed the person who crossed the river whole, while the giant crab casually cut off the sinner with its pincers as if playing with it.

After playing for a while, they left this dangerous Santu River.

"Uh, this..." Osamu Dazai's expression was a little subtle, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa who was beside him quickly covered the eyes of Akutagawa Gin and Nakajima Atsushi.

"Don't worry, the bodies of the dead will reunite soon, and those who were attacked in the water will return to the river bank soon, as long as they live again." Ghost Lantern said quite naturally, "Don't worry, go on The route down is a sightseeing route, so you can take it with confidence."

Hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, the ghost lamp drove the golden cloud to a bustling commercial street.

"This is the commercial street of Hezhong Hell." Ghost Lantern said, pointing to an area that is almost the size of an entire huge town in front of him, "Behind the wall over there is the execution ground. Don’t try too hard, you won’t be able to return to this world after eating the food from hell.”

The entrance of the commercial street is a very large two rows of food shops. The aroma of the food wafted over, making Edogawa Ranpo, who was about to drool, immediately shut up.

"Hezhong Hell is a hell related to Yin, so the commercial street here is Huajie." Ghost Lantern pointed to the other side of the commercial street. There are various lanterns and signboards hanging on that street, which looks like a There is a feeling of sensuality.

"Flower Street?" Akutagawa Gin and Nakajima Atsushi didn't quite know what this meant. Could it be a flower street?Akutagawa Gin was a little bit better. After all, she had been in the slums, and she didn't understand what it was there at first, but then she quickly realized what kind of place it was, and she blushed randomly, leaving only the middle Atsushi Shima was baffled by himself.

"So let's go shopping on the commercial street, don't go over there." Ghost Lantern patted the heads of the two children one by one, signaling them to go to the commercial street.

The commercial street in hell is similar to the commercial street in the present world, and because the location it occupies is too wide, various existences can be seen everywhere on the street.

Super-sized ghosts in traditional mythology, monsters with obvious inhuman features, and jailers who are dressed in the same clothes as humans, except that they have more horns on their heads than humans, and there are many more animals that are clearly similar to humans. Animals chatting casually.

"It's amazing." Looking at the business district with another style completely different from the Heavenly Kingdom, the entire group of the Armed Detective Agency couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"You can buy anything here, but don't buy food, let alone eat it." Ghost Lantern repeated to them again, "Please refer to "Ancient Matters" and Greek mythology. If you eat food from hell, you will die. I can’t go back to this world.”

"Thank you for the reminder, I will keep an eye on Ranpo." Fukuzawa Yukichi said decisively.

"Very good, do you want me to show you around?" Ghost Lantern asked again.

"No need, thank you Ghost Lantern." Osamu Dazai quickly refused.

Only then did Gui Deng nodded, turned around and walked away.

"It's incredible here." Looking at everything around here, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help picking up the pen to write again. The business district of hell is also very interesting, and the residents of hell feel that it is much more complicated than that of heaven. , ghosts, monsters, animals, and many other wonderful creatures that he can't even name. While recording, he quickly drew things he didn't know on his notebook with stick figures. Willing to let myself take a picture.

In Japan, candid photography is illegal. There is a shutter sound when taking pictures on mobile phones. If you want to take pictures silently, you need to download specific software, and if you are found, it will almost be regarded as candid photography.

Oda Sakunosuke put down the pen and paper in his hand, and ran over to say hello to the strange creature he had never seen before.The other party heard his request and nodded without hesitation.

After Oda Sakuyuki ran away, the others also started running around.

"Mr. Yukichi, Mr. Yukichi, look at this, these furniture are huge!" Ranpo Edogawa saw the particularly huge signboard when he was flying in the sky before, and after being repeatedly warned not to eat, he simply gave it a try. When he landed, he pulled Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yukichi the big cat to run towards the signboard, "You three follow along too, don't get lost."

The three little ones also followed them. After all, this is a hell where fish and dragons mixed together. Yuji Maomao was worried about letting the children run around, so he took them with him.

After following Edogawa Ranbu to the signboard, they realized that this was actually a very special furniture store, which mainly sold special furniture of large size, small size and animals.

In the large-sized furniture area, there are four-meter-high and five-meter-tall ghosts who choose special furniture there.

As soon as Edogawa ran in, he felt like he had entered the kingdom of giants. The three little ones also thought it was very interesting, and they got together to visit everywhere curiously.

Yujimao, on the other hand, looked at the huge cat climbing frame that served as a signboard in the animal area with sparkling eyes.

"This customer has a good eye. This is a 1/8 scaled down cat climbing frame of the big cat climbing frame of Hell's signature cat Miss Train. It has a good grasping feeling. Would you like to have one?" A salesman came over to sell it with a smile .

Yuji Maomao looked at this cat climbing frame and was really moved, but after thinking about it carefully, even if the money was not considered, there was no way for the family to put down such a large cat climbing frame.

Before Fukuzawa Yukichi came over with someone, Yukichi Big Cat shook his head helplessly, and the salesman on the opposite side was not discouraged, and continued to sell other products for him, "This customer thinks this cat climbing frame is not suitable for you." It doesn't matter to you, we have other products here, such as this cat scratching board, and this special cat pompom."

Seeing these large cat furniture and cat toys that fit its body shape, Yujimaomao became excited again.

Fukuzawa Yukichi on this side is looking at cat furniture with Yukichi Maomao, and Nakahara Nakahara is also buying books in the bookstore on the other side.

And Yosano Akiko was wandering around in a somewhat leisurely and boring way. She just went to a doll shop, and the advertisement at the door of the shop said that the shop sells the most popular dolls at present, which parents and children like. As a result, she went in and took a look, only to find that all the Shimatsu dolls sold in this store are the kind of dolls that can definitely be used as curse dolls in the real world. What's more terrifying is that these Shimatsu dolls can grow their own hair, and even Also the eyes are monitor type.

If this kind of thing is placed in one's own room, one will be scared to death.

After Yosano Akiko ran out of that store in a panic, she could only feel that this place is indeed hell. Just as she sighed and went shopping, she bumped into someone, "Ah, sorry..."

"Miss Angel?" The person who bumped into Yosano Akiko looked at the girl in front of him, and blurted out a familiar name.

"You, you are..." Yosano Akiko looked at the face of this man whom she remembered deeply and could never forget, and wanted to open her mouth several times, but couldn't say anything.

"Miss Angel, why did you pass away so early?" The man looked at her with surprise and disbelief on his face, "You, why are you in hell? No, follow me to find Mr. Ghost Lamp, there must be something wrong You should go to heaven!"

"Thank you..." Yosano Akiko's eyes were filled with tears, but she was smiling so brightly, "Didn't you notice? I'm not dead yet."
