What was going on?!
As the rumble echoed out, the tourists scattered around stared blankly at the Ferris wheel wreckage crashing heavily into the ground and kicking up clouds of dust, as though waking from a dream.
Even stranger, the amusement park security staff who rushed over and searched the wreckage found not a single victim.
Among the crowd, the passengers rescued from the Ferris wheel rubbed their muddled heads. Their memories were equally hazy, and none of them could recall what had just happened.
Such a serious accident at the amusement park naturally called for an emergency shutdown and inspection.
Some still shaken, others brimming with curiosity, the visitors whispered among themselves, brewing up a new urban legend as they filed out under the security staff's guidance.

"Ereshkigal, what is it?"
"Help me mix a dipping sauce!"
Seeing Samael arrive before her, the Underworld Goddess's face brightened
