Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

After Fujiwara Genkuro's wary gaze swept over each of the UGM members, his vigilance temporarily subsided.

Judging from the behavior of the UGM members, Fujiwara Genkuro did not see any similarities between them and Akatsuki from before.

Moreover, the UGM members did not hide their identities. Although their clothing style was very different from theirs, they did not seem to be from Akzhong's side.

Now that things have come to this, Fujiwara Genkuro has decided to temporarily trust the UGM team.

So he began to tell us the basic information about this world.

……

"What?! This is the Land of the Dead?!"

Sakata Jiro couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Not only him, but everyone in UGM showed a shocked expression on their faces to varying degrees.

They found it hard to believe what Fujiwara Genkuro was saying.

Because if this world is called the Land of the Dead, doesn't that mean they're all dead?!

"That's right, this is the land of the dead."

Looking at the shocked faces of the UGM members around him, Fujiwara Genkuro, though unsure of what they were shocked about, nodded in confirmation.

After receiving confirmation from Fujiwara Genkuro, the expressions on the faces of the UGM members changed drastically, becoming incredibly complex.

"So...we've actually already..."

Shirato Jun couldn't help but murmur aloud.

"died……"

Aoshima Ichiro also murmured the rest of what Shirato Jun hadn't finished saying.

"Could it be that I perished while traversing the interdimensional portal?"

Yoichi Kaji was also biting his fingers at that moment, sweating profusely from the shock of what Genkuro Fujiwara had said.

Even Daiyama Ichiki was stunned, his mind seemingly blank.

Meanwhile, Takeshi silently placed his hand on his body, touching his transformation device through his clothes, seemingly trying to confirm whether he was dead or alive.

Of all the people present, only Gu Chen maintained a relatively calm expression.

He looked at the various expressions on their faces, especially Sakata Jiro, who seemed about to cry, and said, "Everyone, don't panic. Although we are in the Land of the Dead, I think we are not dead yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Chen's face.

Looking at Gu Chen's calm and composed expression, all sorts of emotions in their hearts gradually dissipated.

"Actually, there has been a lot of evidence to prove that we are still alive. It's just that you were all frightened by Mr. Fujiwara's words. The most convincing proof that we are still alive is that the life detector can react to us, instead of not reacting at all like Mr. Fujiwara did."

Gu Chen looked at the crowd, whose emotions had gradually stabilized, and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone at UGM lit up immediately.

This was truly a wake-up call; if Gu Chen hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have known when they would have thought of this.

Meanwhile, Fujiwara Genkuro listened to the conversation between the UGM members with a completely bewildered expression.

He didn't understand what was going on with the dead and the living, nor did he know why they were getting hung up on something so obvious.

"Mr. Fujiwara, please continue, about that Akzhong thing."

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Fujiwara Genkuro, who had a strange expression on his face, and said.

"Ah...cough cough, then I'll continue."

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Fujiwara Genkuro composed himself, coughed lightly, and continued, "Actually, I don't know much about Akzhong either."

"They were only in the Land of the Dead for a short time, when the Land of the Dead was still a peaceful country."

"The day they arrived happened to be the day when our Kingdom of the Underworld was holding its royal competition."

"They appeared suddenly, and then suddenly attacked us, capturing our prince and princess, and conquering the entire Kingdom of the Underworld."

"Now, only I and a few other warrior companions have survived in the entire Land of the Dead, and we have fled to the mountains to eke out a living."

When these things were mentioned, Fujiwara Genkuro's expression became very serious.

The UGM members, on the other hand, became increasingly relaxed as they listened to Fujiwara Genkuro's story.

After all, they learned from Fujiwara Genkuro's words that the entire Land of the Dead was not very large, and it was far from the Land of the Dead in their Sakura Kingdom's legends, and there were not many mystical things there.

Overall, apart from the fact that this world is called the Land of the Dead and that Fujiwara Genkuro's physical structure is completely different from that of humans, there are not many strange things about it.

As for things like the Bridge of Helplessness, they were unheard of.

This made the UGM members believe Gu Chen's words even more, convinced that they were not dead and were still alive and well.

"So, Mr. Fujiwara, what are your plans next?"

After listening to Fujiwara Genkuro's account, Gu Chen gave the UGM members some time to process the information before asking questions again.

"Intend?"

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Genkuro raised an eyebrow, glanced at Gu Chen, and then his whole demeanor became somewhat dejected. He said, "What other plans are there? Gather strength, find a way to rescue our princess from Akzhong's hands, and then save the Kingdom of the Underworld."

By the end, Fujiwara Genkuro's tone had become clearly tinged with a death wish.

He was well aware of the vast difference in strength between the warriors of the Land of the Dead and Akchung, but this was no reason for them to surrender or live on.

Even if they die in the end, they will never compromise with the invaders like Akzhong!

After listening to Fujiwara Genkuro's words, the UGM members exchanged glances and finally looked at Oyama Kazuki and Gu Chen.

Then, Daiyama Kazuki and Gu Chen exchanged glances and finally nodded in unison.

In the silent exchange, the UGM members had reached a consensus.

“Mr. Fujiwara, in that case, let us help you.”

Then, Gu Chen walked up to Fujiwara Genkuro with a sincere smile on his face and said.

"help me?"

Fujiwara Genkuro's face immediately showed a look of astonishment, as if he could hardly believe what he had just heard.

"Yes, we'll help you drive away Akzhong, who invaded the Land of the Dead!"

Gu Chen nodded, his sincere tone making Fujiwara Genkuro believe him even if he didn't want to.

"I'm very grateful! But... why?"

Fujiwara Genkuro sensed the sincerity in Gu Chen's words and was willing to believe that Gu Chen was not joking with him, but this only made him more suspicious.

After all, they had no connection whatsoever, and he had even attacked the UGM members before, so why would the UGM members turn around and help him?
