Such a heinous trial demonstrated how easy it is for a human soul to be treated with such disregard, and forcibly deprived of the right to be reborn for no adequate and justifiable cause. Despite the fact that this occurred right in front of so many other souls, none of them noticed, heard, or witnessed anything, all they could see was the door slowly opening once more, and this time, the young lad right in front of Binh An, who appeared to be an apprentice, raised his foot to enter the Great Hall.
Binh An, who was still in shock, pulled the student's hand back right away, but the student was unable to see Binh An nor did he feel anyone pulling him back; instead, he could only perceive that he was immobile for some unknown reason and hummed in an effort to get inside.
Suddenly, a black shadow swept by, causing Binh An to immediately withdraw his hand and back away. It was a Yin Ti Guard wielding a scythe. This Guard slapped the young lad's back with the handle of the scythe, causing him to almost fall inside, his mouth wailing, he had to rub his back with his hand to calm the pain down. It turned out that Binh An's attempt to help out was not only ineffective but also made matters worse for the poor guy.
Yin Binh was like a pre-programmed machine, anything that interferes with Yin Ti's operation would be handled immediately, and because this individual refused to move, Yin Binh instantly took action without any negotiation.
As for the young lad, after being released, nervously swallowed a mouthful of spit, gathered all his might, and entered the Hall, nevertheless, the instant he entered, he was terrified of the overwhelming yet oppressive space of the Great Hall.
He was extremely timid, with a slumped back and a stooped appearance, he was young, but he seemed like an old man, he couldn't even walk properly, his leg trembled, his muscle twitched, it felt like he would collapse here at any given moment.
As soon as he got in, he heard the two gates close with a loud "bang", making him even more startled and staggered, completely unsure of what to do next. It's the polar opposite of the young woman before.
A voice came down from the top of his head, the young scholar looked up, sitting in the middle of the court of law, the largest figure appear to be carved into the stone wall, immeasurable in size, extraordinary in power. As he struggled to look up, the very next second, he immediately looked down at the ground, do not dare to offend the great force.
“The person in front. Go ahead and declare your identity, age, occupation, hometown, cause of death!"
He was already terrified, hearing that overwhelming sound made him clutch his bag even tighter, stammering.

“My name is Vo Phan Trung. This year marks my 19th birthday. I was born and reared in Long Vien. When I was alive, I was merely a fill-prescriptions assistant apprentice. I died as a result of a tumble while delivering medicine.
“Are you only an assistant apprentice?”
When this lad heard that, sweat began to form beads on his forehead, his eyes fluttered, but his mouth remained firm.
“Yes, I was helping with inventory checks and sometimes based on the doctor prescriptions, I prepared the medicines for the patients. ”
The Emperor put on a cold smile.
“Good for an apprentice who has a cunning tongue. Do you know what taboo you committed when you were alive?"
“Sir… I… I...” The lad can not help but stammer.
“Even now, standing in front of the all mighty Underworld Council, you still dare to open your mouth to lie, perhaps your tongue is no longer needed?”
"No! No! I'm sorry! I apologize! I didn't mean to! I really didn't mean it at all!"
“You have been caught lying, not once or twice but countless times, your lying keeps piling up, until it can't be saved any more. And inform me what you're holding in your hands."
“This… this… is…”
The lad still had not finished his sentence due to being under great threat, he was already interrupted by one of the Officials.
“Once you come down here, you have to let go of all your additional luggage, which you are fully aware of, yet you still have the audacity to breach the law.”
Under threat, he fell to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes.
“But… this medicine is extremely rare and valuable… it has the potential to rescue more than one household… I simply cannot..."
“Stop making excuses! The Book of Life and Death has all your lying records! You claim your parents that you went to take the exam, but when you failed, you covered this truth by posing as the district chief in front of them, defrauding them for the rest of their life.
You pretended to be a successful student, enchanted the daughter of a district chief, and then continued to deceive her into a relationship with you.
After making a lot of empty promises, you lied about going back to wed her one day, but in the end, you went away and never returned, letting her wait till she was fatigued, and eventually fell sick from too much longing, unable to get out of bed.
You later left to assist with medication dispensing and again lied to one of your patients that she would recover from the sickness, leading her entire family to believe and hope in her recovery until the day she died. The mother was, too, so devastated and heartbroken by her daughter's death and eventually followed her daughter to the underworld.
You lied to other patients, pretended to be a distinguished doctor, and voluntarily came to evaluate and treat people with your lack of sufficient knowledge.
You even lied in order to let a homeless child steal and get away with it. You deceived a district authority by hiding the wanted convict in your home. And many countless other small lies that you spew out of your mouth on a daily basis, do you have anything to justify?"
