Don't follow the rules

Ba rolled his eyes and was about to faint, but Ning Yao grabbed his wings and lifted him up.

He looked at this dedicated tour guide who was heartbroken and felt a rare feeling of guilt and apology.

Ning Yao turned around and asked the expressionless Anubis cautiously: "Um...can I pass the test? I think what I said is pretty much right?"

Anubis was selfless: "It's much worse."

Ning Yao put down Ba and bowed, ready to kneel down in front of others, but Anubis quickly lifted him up.

Ning Yao's feet were dangling in the air: "...Why are you so tall?"

Anubis sighed: "Guest from the Far East, you are joking. The questions you just asked are just routine. Let's go in."

He put down Ning Yao, whispered "Sorry" in a low voice, and turned sideways to open the door of Ermat Hall.

Ning Yao was just about to turn around and take the dedicated tour guide with him, but found that Ba had disappeared without knowing it.

Anubis said: "His mission ends here. There are some roads that you can only walk alone."

Ba seems to have said this too.

Ning Yao nodded and followed Anubis into the hall.

The interior of the Ermat Hall is as broad as its appearance. There is a scale in the middle of the hall. On the tray on one side of the scale is a light ostrich feather, which is the feather of the goddess of justice, Mat.

And Osiris, the Lord of the Underworld, was sitting on his throne.

On either side of him sat 42 divine judges, and Thoth, the divine recorder, stood guard by the scales.

"It's such a formal occasion, am I dressed a little casually?" Ning Yao tugged on her short sleeves.

Anubis comforted: "The Tribunal does not have strict requirements for clothing, but if you are very concerned about it, you can take off your short sleeves and wrap them around your waist, which will make it more formal."

Hearing this, Ning Yao finally moved his attention away from Anubis' jackal head and saw his outfit: "Fuck, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Anubis lowered his head in confusion: "I'm dressed formally."

Ning Yao gestured: "Where's your top? Are you just wearing a skirt?"

Anubis also raised his hand and gestured: "What I am wearing is our traditional formal clothing. And I personally am not used to wearing pullover tops like humans..."

Ning Yao looked at his long mouth and pointed ears and suddenly realized: "I understand."

After grinding for a long time, the stork-headed god Thoth beside the scale couldn't help but urge: "Anubis, fulfill your divine duties."

Anubis shut his mouth, stopped arguing with Ning Yao, turned around and walked towards the scale with something in his hands.

Ning Yao stretched his neck and waved around: "Hello? What can I do? It's very embarrassing for me to be alone like this."

Thoth and Anubis did not answer his words, and were just busy with their own work.

Ning Yao walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly a voice came from the distant throne.

"I sense a familiar aura. Come, tell me your name."

In this empty hall, he was the only "comer", and Ning Yao knew that it was the Lord of the Underworld who was questioning him.

He cheered up and showed his utmost courtesy: "Hello, I am Ning Yao, from... uh, the far east."

Osiris seemed to be uninterested: "Far East? I remember that there haven't been guests there for a long time. It seems that the familiar smell just now was just my illusion."

Ning Yao lowered his head slightly: "I am taking the liberty to come here. I want to find a treasure."

Osiris replied kindly: "Mortal, you may have come to the wrong place. There is no treasure in the worldly sense here. No one will bring it or take it away." Ning Yao smiled: "What a coincidence. What I am looking for is not a treasure in the worldly sense."

Osiris finally became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it?"

Ning Yao: "Eye of Horus."

"Presumptuous!" Osiris was furious.

Ning Yao quickly bowed, saying that he did not come here specifically to offend, and briefly and quickly explained the reason why he was looking for the Eye of Horus.

Osiris' anger did not subside, but he only regained his calm. He suppressed his anger and said: "Mortals, this is not a war that you can intervene in. Don't do unnecessary things."

Ning Yao was neither humble nor arrogant: "As a mortal, of course I would hide as far away as possible. But as friends, we can't watch them fight to the death."

Osiris didn't speak, and Ning Yao couldn't see his expression clearly, feeling worried.In fact, Osiris's throne was so far away from him that he couldn't even see his face clearly.

Anubis and Thoth were not affected by this conversation. Taking advantage of the silence in the hall, Thoth reported the results of his work.

"Ning Yao's heart, measured by the scale of judgment, is no heavier than the feathers of truth and justice. They are completely flat and motionless. It is certain that it comes from a pure and noble soul."

Osiris ordered Thoth to record the results of the measurements in a book of judgment.

Thoth accepted the order, but he hesitated to speak.

Osiris: "You seem to have something to say?"

Thoth looked at the record book in his hand, and then at the heart on the scale: "Dear King, this heart is still alive."

"What?" Osiris was a little surprised and ordered his heart to be presented to him. "You are not the deceased?"

"What?" Ning Yao was also surprised. "What you are messing with is my heart?! Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"What?" Anubis looked at his hand in shock, "I took out the heart of a living soul?!"

"What?" 42 inquisitors collectively exploded, "A living person?! A living person has come to Amun?!"

Thoth: This family will be separated without me...

"Quiet." Osiris had to speak out to maintain order.

He looked at Ning Yao, who was stunned in the center of the hall: "You followed Ba's guidance, so it means there is something wrong with your Ba."

Ning Yao: "Don't speak ill of my father."

Osiris:…

Thoth: "Do you need to summon Amit to come and clean up this person who has offended the gods?"

Osiris waved his hand tiredly: "No need."

Anubis bowed slightly: "Please allow me to defend this guest. I believe he has no ill intentions and his heart has passed the test of the scale. He just doesn't understand our etiquette and customs..."

Ning Yao: "Good brother!"

Osiris pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to screen out the gods in the hall, leaving only Ning Yao alone.

Ning Yao began to kowtow smoothly and squeezed out two false tears: "Brother, I was wrong."

Osiris looked at the heart in front of him and said quietly: "Okay, don't do such a spineless thing with my son's eyes."
