[After my phone connected to the Underworld’s network, I turned myself in]
Synopsis
When Luo Qing woke up and opened her phone,
she realized something was wrong. There was something off about it!
She opened a social media app.

Luo Qing stared in disbelief. What was all this? Had her phone gotten a virus?
She hurriedly opened another short-video app.

[Hot topic: Scientist Nong Lao and the sages of the Nong school work together to develop rice that grows in the Underworld]
[Hot topic: A hero who died saving someone has earned enough merit to spend a peaceful century in the Underworld]
Good grief, did that app have a virus too?
Surely her messaging app was fine, right?
But not long after she opened it, Luo Qing was in tears.
[Post from her late grandmother: My sweet Qingqing is so good to me. She burns paper money for me every festival, and I can’t spend it all! [Image]]
In her excitement, Luo Qing nervously opened her chat with her grandmother, prepared to be fooled, and sent a message: Grandma, is that really you?
After a tearful conversation, she held the private savings she’d just found, the money her grandmother hadn’t had a chance to mention before she died, and was completely stunned.
Had she really connected to the Underworld’s internet?
After that, notification dots never stopped appearing in Luo Qing’s messaging app.
[Qin Shi Huang has accepted your friend request. You can now chat.]
[Scientist Nong Lao has accepted your friend request. You can now chat.]
[*** has requested to add you as a friend. Note: Please help me call the police! I didn’t abandon my wife and child and run away from home! I was murdered!]
[**’s mother has requested to add you as a friend. Note: I’m **’s mother. Please tell my daughter that her little girl wasn’t lost. Her mother-in-law threw her away!]
Faced with Underworld news and messages popping up across all her social media platforms, and a messaging app that could communicate with the Underworld, Luo Qing scrambled to turn herself in.
[Help! I have no idea what to talk about with Qin Shi Huang!]
[Help! I can’t understand Scientist Nong Lao’s research on the new rice!]
[Help! So many, so, so many “souls” are adding me!]

At first, Luo Qing thought it was just a simple [Underworld Internet Incident].
But as she researched the Underworld and its souls more deeply, everything changed.
Blue Star discovered to its horror that it had been watched by an [alien civilization] for a long time.
To protect themselves, Luo Qing and many heroes of ancient Huaxia set off to study among the stars.
Before long, the Blue Star Defense Force was established!
[The First Emperor annihilates a star beast, becoming a star-wide prodigy]
[Li Bai charges in with a single sword strike, crushing the enemy among the stars]
[Huo Qubing leads a charge and makes a name for himself across the stars]
Luo Qing, the defense force’s captain, seemed to know nothing, but she was the best at calling in reinforcements.
Facing a horde of unknown mental entities, she tapped her phone:
“Underworld gates, open! Summon the heroes of Huaxia!”
The blurb has been screenshotted and archived.
