"Ah——! Ah——!"

Steven screamed in horror, his eyes shifting from Anubis's hand to Xeno, who had his eyes closed.

His face showed tension and worry, he was really afraid that something bad might happen to Seno.

Steven forced himself to calm down. Seeing that Anubis in front of him was concentrating on poking the heart in his hand and not paying attention to him, he bravely moved his feet silently and walked to Seno's side and squatted down.

Under Lin Ze's surprised gaze, he carefully extended an index finger and gently placed it across the tip of Seno's nose.

The boy's breath was like a gentle breeze that touched Steven's fingertips, the rhythm was even and steady, making him feel a little itchy and a little warm.

“Huff—still breathing.”

Steven let out a long sigh and patted his chest as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, as if a huge rock in his heart had finally fallen.

However, at this moment, he suddenly froze, tilted his head and scratched it, a confused look on his face, and muttered to himself:

"Huh? Why are you still breathing?"

He looked at Seno again and saw that the boy's chest was intact, without any signs of damage, and was even rising and falling rhythmically. His expression was comfortable, as if he was immersed in a peaceful dream.

Steven couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently touch the smooth and healthy wheat-colored skin on the other's chest, like a curious child looking for the answer to a question.

Lin Ze on the side:!!!

[What are you doing? What is he doing?]

[How can you do this so blatantly? I haven’t even touched it yet…!!]

Hiss... There are really no wounds?

So how did Anubis take out his heart?

Steven racked his brains to figure out the problem.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of "snap", and Steven, who was slapped on the back of his hand, instantly retracted the "restless" claw.

He raised his head, only to see Lin Ze staring at him closely with a look of 'not laughing' on his face. Even the little fellow Paimon was looking at him with confused and curious eyes.

Steven felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "I'm just curious..."

"I see."

While Lin Ze said this, he quickly pulled out his 'scarf' and covered the exposed upper half of Seno's body tightly.

Steven: ...

If you were slower in covering your eyes, this statement would be more convincing.

The conversation between the two made Anubis turn his gaze towards Steven, his eyes full of disgust, as if he was looking at a village idiot.

[Of course he is breathing. If he is not breathing, he would be dead.]

The heart of Seno in Anubis's hand kept beating. This heart was alive and powerful, and every beat seemed to tell of the tenacity of life.

Its surface is covered with winding blood vessels, in which warm blood flows like nimble red snakes.

The heart muscles are elastic, and powerful force bursts out between contraction and relaxation.

Very healthy.

"Why did you take out Seno's heart for no reason? What do you want to do?"

Although Lin Ze knew that Anubis's old illness might have come back, for peace of mind and to avoid losing the battle, he still asked in a stern questioning tone towards the place where Anubis was standing: "Anubis, do you want to be sealed again?"

Anubis glanced over and snorted coldly. He stretched out his hand and summoned black mist out of thin air, which quickly condensed into the shape of a scale.

The scales are huge and exquisite, made of gold, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

The center of the balance is a cross-shaped structure, with chains hanging from both ends connecting the two trays.

[What? Of course, I want to see if this arrogant guy is qualified to talk to me. If he is qualified, it's fine, otherwise...]

Anubis was in a very bad mood. Anyone who had finally rested for a few days, then was forcibly woken up by someone and had to clean up other people's messes would be in a bad mood.

In particular, he was even more annoyed because his work quality was questioned by a little brat because of someone else's problem and was threatened by another little brat.

[Don't be impatient, little yellow-haired devil. It's your turn after he's done. 】

"He will perform the judgment ritual."

Steven knew clearly that what was going on before his eyes was the orthodox trial ceremony held by the true gods, not the castrated version like Amit's, but he still couldn't help but worry about Seno.

What if, what if Anubis’s scale is not accurate, or what if it hasn’t been used for so many years and it breaks down today?

As the saying goes, worrying too much will lead to confusion. Steven couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts in his mind. He kept rubbing his hands and his face turned pale.

At this time, Steven was annoyed and wondered why he agreed to ask Anubis for help. If it weren't for his "adding fuel to the fire", Seno wouldn't have encountered this crisis.

Why was he so timid just now that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence when he saw Anubis, and instead let this child stand in front of him? He was still so young. If he was really taken to the underworld by Anubis because of this, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Navilet, who had remained silent, noticed Steven's abnormality at this moment. He and the traveler knew that for Seno, Anubis's trial was completely unnecessary, so they were not worried.

But for Steven, who didn't understand Seno's character, or who had developed a distrust of Anubis due to the Amit incident, the weight of a young life could almost crush his nerves.

"Don't worry, if even Senor can't pass this test, then the broken balance of the God of Death should be smashed."

【what? What? ! 】

Anubis had just summoned a white feather and was about to put it on one end of the scale when he heard these words.

He bared his teeth at Villette and quickened his hands: [How dare you disrespect this god's artifact! I have decided that you, Xiu'er, should be ranked before the little yellow-haired boy! Don't worry, you will be the next one!!]

After saying that, Anubis threw down the white feather and placed the heart in his hand on the tray at the other end of the scale.

Seeing this scene, Steven held his breath and stared at the scale without blinking.

The next second, his heart, which was stuck in his throat, fell back into his stomach.

It was because he saw the scale shaking slightly under the influence of Baiyu's weight. The moment Seno's heart touched the bottom of the tray, the ups and downs of the scale stopped instantly, and the trays at both ends remained at the same level, just like a piece of wool swaying in the breeze suddenly straightened.

The speed difference between them is almost negligible.

Anubis was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the heart and the scales began to swing again.

After letting go of the worry, the scales instantly straightened up again, as if there was nothing on the tray, and it restored the factory settings without wasting a second. This speed directly defeated 99.99% of the people being judged.

You should know that under normal circumstances, the only things that can cause the scale to reach this rapid equilibrium state are babies who die tragically shortly after birth.

"Seno passed the trial!!"

Steven was excited to share his joy with others, but Anubis continued: [Haha, don't be too happy too soon.]

【There are four of you.】

"what?!"

Steven's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and he shouted out loud on the spot: "Anubis said that the remaining three people will all be judged!?"

"what?!"

Paimon immediately stamped his feet anxiously, his face flushed with anger as he protested loudly: "The remaining three want them all!??"

"Why!!"

I didn’t expect that the little girl, who was so protective of everyone, would actually be willing to contradict the gods right there and then.

In contrast, Steven felt ashamed of his cowardice. Just as he was condemning himself in his heart, he heard Paimon's next two words in the next second...

“Why three people!!!”

Paimon, with his butt facing the direction of Anubis, put his hands on his hips and looked at the air in front of him with an angry look.

"Anubis, don't you know how to count?! Isn't Paimon considered a person?!? Why do you want monkey pancakes?...mmmm."

Lin Ze pulled Paimon down and stuffed the little guy's mouth with half a coconut charcoal cake, feeling a pain on his forehead.

"Oh! Our dear little Paimon wants to eat cakes. Come on, eat more, eat more!!"

Paimeng's eyes widened, he covered his mouth with one hand, and waved his other hand frantically at Lin Ze: "Ugh! Ugh... Ugh... OK... OK..."

"Delicious? If it tastes good, eat more!!"

After saying that, Lin Ze stuffed all the remaining coconut charcoal cakes on Seno into Paimeng's waving little hands.

Paimon was so moved that he cried on the spot: "Huh? Wuuu! Wuuuu! Wuuuu! Wuuuu...┭┮﹏┭┮"

[Ouch! Traveler water! Water!! You are wrong!! Paimon doesn’t want to eat cake!!]

[Paimon is choking to death! Paimon is choking to death!! Paimon is going to be choked to death by the cake, wuwuwu.. (crying)]
