Chapter 9 Chapter nine

"Application for withdrawal?" I looked up from the pile of papers and looked back at the professor.As soon as I stepped into the research room just now, the professor pushed me on the chair in front of the desk, sat on the sofa by himself, and set up the shogi game record by himself. "Yeah. It came in the mail this morning. It's really embarrassing for me to ask if I know what happened. Do you know anything?" The professor said that there was no embarrassment on his face.His interest is all in the chess record in front of him. "I don't know." I shook my head.

"let it go." The professor's infantry moved forward and turned into a golden general, taking over the opponent's army. "Are you saying that the withdrawal application has been approved?" "The other party proposes to drop out of school, so you can't force him to stay. Just like someone wants to enter the school, you can't let him fail on purpose." "Is that so?" "That's right." The professor dispatched Guima again to deal with the opponent's sinking general. "You should go down to the Dragon King first." I said.

"Ok?" "First use the Dragon King to checkmate the opponent, then fly the silver general, and then the Gui horse. Once the opponent sinks to the bottom, you can use the gold head to checkmate him." "Ah, yes!" Yes, yes. The professor opened the chess book that was put away, and nodded frequently. "I say," The professor turned a page and began to study new problems on the chessboard. "Why did you come to me?" "what?" I asked back.The sudden question from the professor left me at a loss as to how to answer it. "For an excellent student like you, it's no problem to enter any graduate school. There are many research courses, such as international relations law and other popular graduate courses. Why do you come here?"

"Because you have a noble character, are you satisfied with my answer?" "No, no, I'm asking you seriously." "If I want to answer seriously, that's because I didn't know that this research laboratory is so good at sending people." I said it with a smile, but the professor didn't laugh. "In that case, after being admitted to graduate school, wouldn't it be enough to change to another graduate school?" "Why are you talking endlessly?" "Someone asked to drop out, so I thought so. Why did he come to our seminar in the first place? He didn't even go to college. There must be a reason comparable to that."

The professor arranged the chess pieces, and then flew the horns to the side of the king. "So, I happened to think again, why did you apply for my postgraduate entrance examination? Since you don't really want to become a scholar, staying in the Criminal Law Research Office for a long time may not be beneficial to your future employment." "I answer seriously," I stood up and sat down on the sofa opposite the professor. "I want to know the seriousness of the crime I have committed. Because I haven't figured it out, I am still here. Maybe I have caused you trouble. Please forgive me for a while."

I ate his corner row with silver on the bottom line. "Huh? Use that to eat?" The professor muttered, and jumped out of the Guima again. "What did you do for the crime you mentioned? Could it be that you killed someone?" "Yes," I said, and let the king hide under the silver general. "I killed people." "Really?" The professor nodded and pulled out his golden general. "So he killed someone." I moved General Wang a step aside and avoided him.The professor dispatched the speeding car again, and I used the silver general to eat him. He has no chess pieces to leave.

"You will not die," said the professor. "You will not die." I said. I can't figure out which move the professor seems to have made is wrong. "Shogi is really interesting." The professor picked up the chess record and looked at the correct answer, and said. "Everyone is in the same formation at the beginning, but the results are different." "Don't go on and say that it's just like life." "Ah, can't you tell me?" "The metaphor is inappropriate." "But isn't it like that?" "Not like that."

The professor looked at the solution on the chess record, and started to swing the chess pieces again, this time checkmate the opponent.Where did he go wrong just now, I thought to myself.Where did I go wrong again?Twelve years ago, is it since then that things have gone wrong?I should have died twelve years ago.But if so, what am I now?What happened to the twelve years of surviving? "I'm going to buy coffee." "Shall I go?" "No, you're busy. Would you like coffee?" "Well, the long-canned, sweet kind." The professor set up a new formation on the chessboard, and I walked out of the research room.I closed the door behind my back, and immediately leaned against the closed door, feeling out of breath.Forgive you, I wish someone had told me that, even if it was a lie.At least tell me what punishment I should receive to atone for my sin.Punishment is for forgiveness.Even if it is punished by death.

I laughed.He committed a crime for his own life, but in the end he did not hesitate to use his own life to seek forgiveness. I am a cowardly person.
