"... ... seriously?"
Ishtar's face was livid, and she looked towards Luo Zhen for confirmation as if trembling.
"Ereshkigal uses my body to move at night? Is this a lie? You must have said it deliberately to scare me, right? You will be cursed if you cheat the goddess? If you say it now You are joking, so I can still forgive you?"
Ishtar seemed reluctant to admit this fact.
Of course.
No matter who it is, if they hear that their body has been silently occupied by someone, and they don't even know it, their reaction will definitely be the same as Ishtar's.
Not to mention, for Ishtar, the existence of Ereshkigal is a nightmare. In Sumerian mythology, it can be said that everything is smooth sailing and everything goes well, except for a severe setback in the underworld. She turned around and was killed by Ereshkigal. If Dumuzi hadn't resurrected her, she might have said goodbye to this world. How could she be as carefree and happy as she is now
Under such circumstances, Ishtar would certainly not be able to bear the knowledge that her body would be occupied by Ereshkigal at night.
Unfortunately, this is a fact.
"Otherwise I ask you, do you still remember what happened after we went to the fir forest that day and you helped us lure Jin Gu away?"
Luo Zhen asked.
"That day?" Ishtar said as if he was thinking hard: "Of course I remember what happened that day. I helped you lure away the impostor. Then, when the sun went down, the guy seemed to have noticed the fir forest. What happened over there, and then I rushed back.”
"What happened after that?" Matthew quickly asked, "What else happened after that?"
"After?" Ishtar said without thinking, "I went back directly after that, and I went to bed early, and nothing happened."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Xiu was speechless.
From Ishtar's words, Ma Xiu could be sure that everything Luo Zhen said just now was true.
because...
"That day, after nightfall, we met Quetzalcoatl, who was also a member of the "Three Goddess Alliance" with Gorgon, and then Miss Ishtar also appeared. Yizhu’s identity.”
Mashu whispered such words, leaving Ishtar completely stunned.
Naturally, Ishtar didn't even have the slightest impression of this matter.
besides...
"Do you still remember what happened that night when we were brought to Urukri and stayed at the Chaldean Embassy?"
Luo Zhen asked.
"Then...that day?" Ishtar said tremblingly: "Didn't I go to bed early that day? When I got up the next day, I heard you saying bad things about me..."
This answer is enough to explain everything.
"I got up early that day, before dawn. When I went downstairs, you were already up, sitting in the lobby on the first floor, and chatting with me about the Three Goddess Alliance."
What Luo Zhen said with a half-smile made Ishtar completely speechless.
The facts have been proven.
Once night falls, Ishtar transforms into Ereshkigal.
During the heart-to-heart talk in the Chaldean embassy, Luo Zhen met not Ishtar, but Ereshkigal who had taken over Ishtar's body.
Of course, the same was true for that time in the Cedar Forest. Ereshkigal came as a pillar of the "Three Goddesses Alliance". It was also she who released the fragrance of death, controlled the legion of necromantic monsters, and attacked Uruk. caused a threat.
Ishtar is not a member of the "Three Goddess Alliance", but Ereshkigal, who has the same origin as her.
"I think it's because you have the same divinity and are one body inside and outside. Therefore, when you were summoned by the witch of Uruk, Ereshkigal was also chain summoned and appeared together. Bar?"
Luo Zhen asserted so.
"Didn't the head witch of the witch shrine die after that summoning? That should be the result of Ereshkigal taking away her soul, right?"
Now, everything became clear.
Even if Ishtar didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that her sister, the goddess of the underworld with whom she had a deep connection, had really appeared.
"...I see, that's why you came to Kuza. Is it because of what Ereshkigal did to Uruk that you came here?"
Ishtar sighed, finally calmed down, and spoke dejectedly.
"The reason why Kusa became a cursed place is because of the fragrance of death in Ereshkigal. The underworld is still alive. If I am not mistaken, your purpose is to go to the underworld, right?"
Obviously, Ishtar is not stupid at all, and he has guessed all the causes and consequences.
only...
"Are you fools? You are obviously a living person, but you still plan to go to the underworld? Do you think your life is too long?"
Ishtar said these words without mercy.
"That was the kingdom of death where even I was brutally stripped naked, turned into a powerless puppet, and killed. I couldn't even put up the slightest resistance. Although the laws of the underworld have no effect on the living. It’s effective, but the environment in the underworld alone is not something humans can bear, let alone the dead there. Once they smell the anger of humans, they will definitely come overwhelmingly and tear you apart.”
Although these words are unpleasant to hear, they are all true.
Going to the underworld is such a dangerous thing, there is no doubt about it.
"Furthermore, the underworld is so big. Do you know where Ereshkigal is? Do you know how to get there?" Ishtar said one sentence after another: "If you don't know, once you get lost, you will never meet again." If you are in any danger, if time passes and is corroded by the death energy of the underworld, you will never be able to come back."
To sum up, Ishtar is extremely unfavorable about Luo Zhen's behavior in going to the underworld this time.
"us... "
Matthew wanted to say something.
However, Luo Zhen held Ma Xiu's shoulders and stopped her.
Luo Zhen just looked at Ishtar.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Luo Zhen actually asked this very calmly.
Ishtar suddenly fell silent.
Silence filled the surroundings.
"well... "
Not long after, Ishtar let out a big sigh again, and sat up from the ground as if he had made some decision.
"I'll lead the way."
Ishtar said this concisely and concisely.
"Wha...what?"
Everyone, including Ma Xiu, was stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"I said, I will lead the way." Ishtar repeated angrily, sighing as he said: "Since that guy is back, it may be destined or maybe, this trip will probably be real. You can’t do without me.”
As he spoke, Ishtar forced himself up and put his hands on his hips.
"I will take you to Ereshkigal, but remember, in the underworld, even I can't do anything. No matter what purpose you want to achieve, you can only rely on yourself. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiu nodded quickly.
Even Luo Zhen smiled slightly and thought to himself.
"success."
