—Quotations from the Jewish prophet Amos, 8th century B.C.E

What would the world be like if there were no laws in the world? Perhaps since human beings realized that there were rules, laws should have appeared.

"Let's go, you've successfully passed my level, and I'm going to start researching Mr. Tang Meng's method. Yani waved his hand, signaling Tang Meng to leave from the red ** method teleportation array on the side.

Tang Meng didn't mind his urgency, after all, he had a new research direction, and he definitely couldn't help but try. And his title for himself has also changed, from a young man from Donglu to Mr. Tang Meng, which also reflects his respect for himself.

"Then may I ask what this place was built for?" Tang Meng asked.

Yani stared at Tang Meng's eyes and didn't speak for a long time, and finally he sighed.

"Mr. Tang Meng, this Tower of Babel, all I can say is that it carries the hope of mankind, nothing more. Okay, you better try the second layer, although his temper is depressing, but you may or may not be able to get through. Arni said, waving his hand again.

Tang Meng and Marton felt their bodies involuntarily float, and then they were sent into the red vortex, which was the portal on the next floor.

It seems that this Arni said that he did not know people from other levels, which is also false. Tang Meng thought silently the moment he was teleported.

In the next second, Tang Meng and Mar had already appeared in another world, and at this time, it was still pitch black like last time. Tang Meng and Mar were also used to it, but Mar still grabbed Tang Meng's hand tightly.

Then a light shone and the whole world brightened. Tang Meng's pupils constricted, and he was a little surprised to find that he was sitting on a bench with Mar, and there were people sitting behind him, including old people and children, women and young people, they seemed to be discussing something, bustling, with different expressions. The decoration of this court should be in the style of medieval Europe, full of solemnity and solemnity.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, Tang Meng looked at the voice, and found that there was a person who looked like a judge sitting on the high platform, and at this moment he was using a mallet to ring hard.

"Silence, everyone. Today's courtroom has officially begun, please shut up non-relevant people and keep the courtroom quiet!" the judge said majestically.

Suddenly, everyone stopped talking, just quietly looked at Tang Meng and Mar. Tang Meng also keenly saw that there was a table and bench next to him, on which sat a woman with a sad expression, and a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

"Defendant, do you have anything else to say, is there anything else to justify your crimes?" the judge asked Tang Meng solemnly, and his head was also tilted towards Tang Meng's side.

Mar looked at Tang Meng next to him blankly, but Tang Meng was also confused at the moment, this was beyond his expectations, as a good student, it was impossible for him to go to court, and he didn't even have experience in a mock court, not to mention that this didn't seem to be a mock at all, but a real Western court.

"This ......" Tang Meng was speechless for a while.

"Since you don't have a legal debater (lawyer), you can defend yourself. The judge spoke again.

Tang Meng's brain was spinning rapidly, but he still couldn't figure out anything, he thought helplessly: I appeared in the court as soon as I came, I was in such a hurry, there was no way to understand what happened.

"May I ask Your Excellency, what sin have I committed?" Tang Meng asked stubbornly.

"Wait, Your Excellency. I have an opinion to mention that the plaintiff's cumulative crimes have already been mentioned in the previous reading of the charges, and they cannot be repeated here. The defendant obviously wanted to delay or make a joke, so the defendant's request should be dismissed. The defender on the other side said.

The judge's brows furrowed, and then he looked at Tang Meng, who should have signaled that he had something to say, but Tang Meng didn't know what to say, so he silently didn't say anything more.

"Look, Your Honor, they can no longer justify their crimes. The apologists next to him sneered.

"Silence, it's not your turn to speak. So the defendant, are you sure you don't plead any more? Once this process has passed, you will be convicted. Please answer, do you still need to make a defense?" the judge struck the gavel again, and then said solemnly.

The people behind him began to talk in a low voice again, but they obviously had a new perspective on Tang Meng's affairs, and their eyes were even worse when they looked at them.

"Lord Tang Meng, what is the situation now, why are we being judged? Mar said anxiously, and she could see that something was wrong.

"It's changing so fast, I can't think of a good way to do it. But don't worry, I'll protect you. Tang Meng whispered, but his tone was firm.

Mar was also a little relieved when he heard this, but his grip on Tang Meng's hand became tighter and tighter.

Tang Meng still silently watched how this judge pronounced the verdict, if every level would not die. Shouldn't it be a big crime? Tang Meng thought.

Seeing that Tang Meng and the others did not speak, the defender at the table next to them stood up again.

"Your Excellency, I think you can now announce the final results, they have nothing more to say. The apologists sneered again.

This made Tang Meng a little puzzled, why he didn't feel like a lawyer to himself, and he always seemed aggressive when targeting himself. Is this the case with every lawyer?

"Well, the final verdict is as follows, the two defendants, for committing homicide, trespass on personal property, and robbery, without any defense, are convicted. First in prison, and after three days it will be divided by hanging!" said the judge coldly.

This made both Ma'er and Tang Meng stunned, such a sentence really made them unacceptable, obviously they didn't commit a crime, but they were sentenced to death for some reason when they came here?

"Wait, Your Excellency, is there any misunderstanding in this? Obviously, we have just arrived......" Tang Menggang wanted to defend something, but was interrupted by a sad woman on the side.

"You two, what else do you want to say? The judge has already pronounced the verdict, and no matter how much you argue, it's useless. You killed my husband and robbed my family finances, and people like you deserve to be executed!" said the woman angrily.

But in her eyes, Tang Meng saw that she had a trace of unnoticeable pride.

What does this world want to test me? Tang Meng was still silently thinking when he was taken away by the guards.
