The wind blew through the cracks in the window and blew into the small teaching and research room. The somewhat pale sunlight in the afternoon illuminated the figure of the prospective professor. This man who used to be graceful and energetic on the podium, his eyes were

There was no longer any light shining in it, just sitting on the chair blankly.

This once high-spirited historian has now recognized the cold reality.

This teaching and research room seemed to feel the resentment of its owner. Even the room that was supposed to be warm felt a chill coming from nowhere.

The atmosphere of despair locked the four people in the room tightly like a cage. The female monk also lowered her head and said nothing, holding her clothes with her fingers.

Everyone present seemed to be able to feel the existence of the almost oppressive ivory tower from Shimokawa's words, the kind of bleak life trapped in the ivory tower.

At this moment, the man in the gray suit stood up unsteadily. The expression on his face was still the same as before, and he did not seem to be affected by Shimokawa's words. He walked to the window and looked out the window

The scenery, he opened his mouth and said:

"I never dream about changing anything. If this world can really be changed, then today, it should be a paradise where the ground is flowing with butter and honey. But the reality is that war, famine,

Plague, abuse of power, poverty, every second in this world, there is a corner where a tragic tragedy is being performed."

"Human beings are hopeless animals. If you look at the best-dressed people in our world and see what they do from beginning to end, you will understand what ignorance and shamelessness are.

"

"So, I only know a very simple truth. That is - if others make me unhappy, I also want to make them feel unhappy."

Beiyuan slowly turned around and looked at Shimokawa in front of him. The face of this man who was only in his twenties, for some reason at this moment, exuded an aura that was like the devil coming to the world.

"If someone punches me, not only will I punch back, but I will also break his hand so that he will never be able to punch again."

"Nature has placed human beings under two supreme masters - happiness and pain. Human beings are not afraid of morality. What they are really afraid of is pain. This includes the pain of suffering violence, the pain of losing wealth, the pain of damaged reputation,

The pain of losing a family member. The language that humans can really understand is not English, not French, not Oriental, but real pain."

"Only by making human beings truly suffer will they be able to correct their behavior. Otherwise, they will continue on this track forever."

"There are always people who like to admire modern civilized society. But whenever I see modern civilized society, I shudder. Under the inherent nature of human beings, they are able to achieve today's brilliant achievements because of this achievement and progress.

Behind them, lying one after another, corpses as high as snow-capped mountains."

"Just these few simple words, 'Everyone is equal before the law,' were written with the blood of many lives."

"Because human beings are so hopeless and unable to understand the simplest principles and common sense. Therefore, I will not let go of any opportunity to cause pain to my opponent." Kitahara said lightly, "Teacher Shimokawa. Now there is

Such an opportunity is placed in front of you. Beat the person you dislike to the ground completely, make him cry, make him kneel, make him beg for mercy, let him understand what the so-called pain is.

Feel.”

"Then now you, please think seriously and carefully whether you have to give up such an opportunity."

Beihara's words hit Shimokawa's eardrums one after another.

There was an unusual coldness about this young man.

Shimokawa slowly raised his hands, hugged his head, bent down, and buried his head between his knees. Like an ostrich burying his head in the ground, he could only rely on escape to temporarily forget

Immediate danger.

The teaching and research room was unusually quiet, and the "ticking, ticking" sound of the clock could be heard very clearly.

Time passed by like this, second by second.

The shadows of objects in the teaching and research room gradually move with the slight changes in the angle of the sun.

I don't know how long it took, but Shimochuan's hand moved.

When the two girls in the teaching and research room saw this scene, their hearts tightened. They didn't know what kind of answer the prospective professor in front of them would give.

Xiachuan still didn't raise his head.

The next second.

The quasi-professor’s voice still came out——

"Withdraw the lawsuit, Lawyer Kitahara."

There was an unchangeable despair in the voice.

"Okay. I understand, and I respect your choice. As your attorney, I will submit a withdrawal application to the court after the court's final statement." Kitahara said calmly.

Afterwards, Kitahara stood up, opened the zipper of his briefcase, put the "Applicant for Withdrawal" signed by Shimokawa into a document bag, and put it into the briefcase.

Patting his clothes and confirming again that no documents were left in the teaching and research room, Beihara walked out of the teaching and research room without looking back.

Miyagawa was stunned on the spot, and a full five minutes passed before she was shocked to realize that Kitahara had really left like this, without any further words of advice.

Miyagawa immediately stood up, regardless of the fact that he was still wearing high heels, and ran directly out of the classroom, quickly stepping on the stairs one after another, and rushed out of the teaching and research building.

It wasn't until they were on the campus's tree-lined avenue that the girl caught up with Beihara.

Miyagawa's face was dripping with sweat, his face was red, and he was panting, "Kita...Kitahara, why didn't you try to persuade Shimokawa more and just left like that? If you really...really withdraw the lawsuit, then

How are we going to fight this lawsuit? Why don’t we give you a few more words of advice?”

Beihara stopped, turned around, waited for the girl to adjust her breath, and said: "According to the Civil Procedure Law, after the court debate ends, if the plaintiff applies to withdraw the lawsuit, if the defendant does not agree, the court can reject it.

Therefore, this lawsuit was not withdrawn just because Shimokawa wanted to."

Miyagawa opened his mouth slightly when he heard Kitahara's answer, "How is that possible?! Kitahara! If we really choose to withdraw the lawsuit, Dean Fujimura will definitely agree. How could he let this opportunity go in vain?

Really take the risk and wait for the court to decide whether plagiarism is established or not.”

The corners of Beiyuan's mouth raised slightly, "Who knows. Never guess what will happen in the future."

The shadows of the camphor trees on the campus road covered the figures of the two young people. Just like the gloomy future of this lawsuit, it shrouded the two of them. At this moment, there was more than an insurmountable height in front of the two.
