In this chapter, we learn that the man from the "yin realm" has been pardoned, meaning that he is innocent of the crime he committed. This means that he can leave the "fenglian ghost street" and go back to the "human realm" . The man tells us that the "so-called trial" is actually a test. If the man chooses to appeal and refuses to confess, then the judge will sentence him directly to hell, but if he chooses to confess to the crime, then he will be allowed to go to heaven. This shows that he has let go of the life he led. This is a "reward" for him, or to forget the memories of the past life. He says that he wants to stay as "huai yin" so that he will not have to make the decision of going to hell. He explains that he was a little "caught off guard" when he first appeared, but he will take him to "the real yin realm" once he crosses the "blade mountain." This is the "final test" of his life, and he says that regardless of whether the blade mountain is "myth or reality," he has "died" already.
