"So that's how it is..."

Bai Anshun said thoughtfully after flipping through the file at a fast speed.

"Do you have any clues?"

"There are clues, but I'm afraid it won't help solve this case..."

"Do things that don't help lead to sour clues?"

I questioned without raising my head while writing calculus exercises.

"That's not what it means. What Luo Haofeng wants to solve now is the 'injury incident' or the 'animal violation incident'?"

I stopped the pen in my hand and started to use 30% of my thinking ability to think about this problem.

"Isn't it the same which one to solve first? Aren't these two incidents the same?"

Bai Anshun shook his head and stretched out his finger to casually draw a circle on the draft paper I was scribbling. I looked up and found that there was indeed a mistake.

"These two incidents are not the same incident. The one I have clues to is the wounding incident. But if we simply want to solve the wounding incident, even knowing the culprit is almost impossible?"

I was a little annoyed and crossed out all the content after the wrong step, and then suddenly realized one thing.

"This tone sounds like you know the murderer~"

"Here we need to discuss the guideline before we can continue..."

"Oh, it seems like this...wrong!" I put the pen on the scratch paper and put the draft paper into the book, "Don't change the topic."

The expression on Bai Anshun's face is a bit awkward now, is there really something hidden?

"Be honest, do you know who the murderer is?"

Bai Anshun scratched his head, then showed a hearty and pleasant smile: "Can I not say anything?"

"No!" I punched Bai Anshun in the lower abdomen to dissuade him from trying to get away by being cute.

"I know, I know..." Bai Anshun pretended to surrender and ran away from me, "But don't expect me to help you in this matter."

Hmph, I don't know who said two days ago that he could do his best to solve this matter.

"I get it, I get it, if it's because of your special status that you can't make a move, I will never force you. You should also know, right?"

"Ja, you never ask too much of me. But every time you put yourself in danger, you end up making trouble for me."

Tsk, this is really an irrefutable complaint.

"Anyway, who are you talking about first?" I anxiously urged to skip this topic.

"You should know this person too... No, I probably only met him once. Do you still remember Lin Lang who you said once shot at you?"

Of course, how could it be possible to forget, a person with such a flamboyant appearance and a strange personality who is violent to others as soon as he comes up.Not only that, but I know you guys put a good word for him when I described how he provoked me.

"Of course I know, but why is it him? Besides, didn't you say that he is a kind person?"

I suppressed my anger and continued to talk, but Bai Anshun didn't seem to see the clue.

"Ja, he is indeed a kind person. As the expected next leader of the Orc Alliance, he is also very responsible, and he usually loves small animals...well, small animals." When Bai Anshun said this There was a sudden pause, "Because I'm the field staff of the middle school student union at the Beast Clan Conference recently, I heard some things. One of them is about the cats and dogs that happened around the meeting place, that is, the school. The tribe decided to fight blood for blood."

An eye for an eye, blood for blood...?

I think of the cat that was tortured to death and the wound on the same part of the victim... In this way, it is understandable why it is a copycat crime, but this kind of revenge is too childish, right?

"This kind of revenge... But, do they know who the murderer who hurt the animals is?"

Bai Anshun shook his head again.

"They have not been able to find out who the murderer of the animal was."

In other words, are all the victims unrelated?This cannot be called revenge at all, but simply repeats the brutality of animal cruelty.

"But, wouldn't this not solve any problems? Even if it hurts humans, it doesn't mean that those cats and dogs can be saved?"

"Probably they simply thought that this would serve as a warning." Bai Anshun spread his hands, "Originally, the orcs follow simple and rude principles."

Bai Anshun seemed to have nothing to do with him when he talked about the orc race, but Bai Anshun was indeed not that simple and rude type of person.

"Perhaps, maybe it's not simple and rude at all... Or maybe it's another kind of revenge...?"

Another kind of revenge?I looked at Bai Anshun puzzled.

"Look, isn't this considered equal? ​​If one of the animals is injured, then there must be a human being injured..."

"This is sophistry! No, it's not even sophistry... Wouldn't it be even more unfair to hurt humans who didn't do anything to animals?"

Bai Anshun held his chin and thought for a while, then continued: "But, in their opinion, that is indeed fair..."

"In fact, not all mosquitoes bite humans, is it? But you will kill all mosquitoes, even male and female. Isn't that unfair to mosquitoes?"

"However, how can human beings be compared with bugs..." As soon as I said the words, I felt inappropriate, "That is to say, in the eyes of those guys, are human beings just as insignificant as bugs?"

Bai Anshun nodded solemnly, "Just like you can't be fair to every bug, it's impossible for us... um, let's say that we are much stronger than humans, and we can't take every human's feelings into consideration."

Looking at Bai Anshun's appearance when he said this sentence, I felt a little lost, not because I knew that I would never be able to catch up with Bai Anshun, but because I suddenly realized that I had a relationship with Bai Anshun before. It is possible that Anshun's happy relationship with me in middle school was just Bai Anshun's unilateral care for me.

It's almost like a pet.

"That is to say, in front of you, human beings have no dignity at all?"

Bai Anshun noticed the change in my tone and immediately defended himself.

"It doesn't mean that, it doesn't mean that. This kind of unfairness is actually a kind of fairness, right? After all, we haven't made any sacrifices. And even within human society, isn't such a phenomenon very common? In human society In society, isn’t it normal for capable people to step on incompetent people as stepping stones?”

It is indeed normal, but also very abnormal.

"But we are at least pursuing the word "equality", right? From the development of human society in the past few hundred years, isn't it still developing towards a more equal direction? Although equality may be an ideal land that will never be reached, at least It can’t be wrong to go in that direction, right?”

"Also... not necessarily..." Bai Anshun looked at my serious expression as if he was unwilling to refute me, "Actually, isn't it your personal illusion to develop towards a more equal direction?"

"No, it can't be an illusion, right? Even Bai Anshun can't deny this...how could it be an illusion?"

"Ja, from the perspective of me and Bai Anshun, even in the 20 years since we were born, the society has been developing towards a more equal direction. However, even if you don't need to investigate specifically, you can know that even so, in the At this moment in other parts of the world, other countries, there are countless people who are suffering from unfair treatment. But you can quietly and peacefully declare here that you feel that the world is more equal, which is not inherently unequal Is it?"

Uh……?

"If all people are unequal, if everyone pursues what they want, and gets unequal treatment because of the degree of contribution and other reasons, then they are equal to some extent. And it is Pursue equality. After all, the state of affairs in which a society sees it as its duty to eradicate poverty is not the same state of affairs in which a society considers itself entitled to determine the "equal" status of each individual and to assign to it what it deems an individual due There is indeed a world of difference.”

The overly lengthy narration prevented me from fully understanding the meaning of Bai Anshun, but I grasped the key point of this sentence.

"Is the pursuit of equality itself a violation of equality?"

It is indeed a good paradox. If the pursuit of individual equality will violate the equality of human beings, if the pursuit of collective equality will obliterate the equality of individuals.Once the relationship between rights and duties is denied, it is the inequality of individuals.Broad-spectrum equality cannot exist once rights and duties are emphasized.

"Ja, from the very beginning, it is a matter of fairness and efficiency. When this society needs fairness, it will lean towards fairness. When this society needs efficiency, it will also overthrow the glorious image established before for the sake of efficiency. "

"But..." I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it.

"And now, for the orcs, they probably think that the easiest solution is the current method?...Uh? Luo Haofeng, what are you doing?"

I suppressed my inexplicable anger and walked in front of Bai Anshun, grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands and pulled him up from the chair.

"What you said just now is what the orcs really think, or is it just your guess..."

Bai Anshun missed my sight and whispered, "It's just my guess..."

My body kept shaking because of anger, and I took a deep breath before trying not to make my voice look too dry.

"In other words, this is actually what you really think, right?"

"Yes...but listen to me...ah, it hurts."

If you think that I cast Bai Anshun heavily on the ground with a judo throwing technique, you are wrong. I just let go of the hands that were clutching his collar, and because of gravity, his head hit the chair behind him. superior.

"In other words, you actually think that way about me, don't you?"

"Huh?" Bai Anshun looked at me with wide eyes, as if he didn't understand what I said.

"Well, that means... I've never been a friend to you, have I?" When the word friend came out, I felt a tingle in my throat, "I'm just a...well, relationship to you. Nice lowly creature, like a pet..."

Bai Anshun's expression at this time was one that I hadn't seen for a long time after that, the aggrieved expression that was about to cry that I hadn't seen before I set foot on the road of no return.

"No... no..."

Bai Anshun stood up suddenly, I thought he wanted to counterattack me, but his speed was so fast that I couldn't dodge at all.By the time I realized it, I was already hugged tightly by him... Well, could it be a sacrificial technique?Obviously, you don't need this level of skill to deal with a trash fish like me...

"No...Luo Haofeng, I have never seen you like this. Even though I know that I will never ask you to be like me, even though I know that our friendship cannot last forever, even if I know that doing so may bring you How troublesome. However, I never regarded you as an existence inferior to me... You are my best friend, and even when this friendship ends in the future, you will still be my best friend. Even You are an ordinary person, you are an incompetent person, and I am not ashamed to say that you are my best friend in front of anyone."

Bai Anshun's voice was so loud that I even wondered if even the dormitory next door heard this blushing and heartbeating "confession".However, because of the shock, I didn't react until my face was burning and I pushed Bai Anshun away from me.

"You're so annoying! Do you have to speak so nastyly!"

"I always feel that if I don't say that, it will cause irreversible consequences."

"It's easy to cause irreversible consequences if you say that, you bastard!"

I said so, but I didn't completely let go of it in my heart.The more Bai Anshun uses this spirit of selfless dedication to maintain this friendship, the more I feel worthless. Maybe I should really consider Teacher Gou Ye's expectations.

"Let's not talk about this matter... Go back to the topic just now. I was wondering just now, why did you say that you couldn't help when you said it was that guy? Is it because of your relationship with the student council?"

Bai Anshun scratched his cheek embarrassingly, and then said: "Because that guy has a bad relationship with me unilaterally."

Well?Bad relationship with Bai Anshun?My mind quickly flashed through the people I knew since childhood who had a bad relationship with Bai Anshun...

No!No one has a bad relationship with Bai Anshun.Bai Anshun, known for his kind personality, prudent behavior style and beautiful appearance, has been the treasure of teachers and classmates since he was a child, and his character is not the annoying "good student" image in the traditional sense. You can also mingle with completely different types of students.Even those who disagree with each other can praise Bai Anshun himself personally, such as Senior Tian Yu.

"You mean... a personal relationship?" I couldn't help confirming.

"Well... it's a personal relationship." Bai Anshun admitted again with some subtle embarrassment, "Because many families in the orc clan value personal efforts and practice, but the Bai family is not at all. Because of the ability, the Bai family can remain invincible without hard work and training compared with other wolf clans. In fact, the Bai family quit the beast clan meeting probably because of this reason?"

"But, what does this have to do with your personal friendship... Maybe this is called a feud?"

Bai Anshun quickly waved his hands to defend: "No, no, actually the relationship between the Bai family and the Lin family is good for generations. It's just that Lin Lang just doesn't like me..."

Look... don't like it?

"Anyway... a lot of things happened, if possible, I don't want to recall them, since it's all from when I was a child."

In other words, Bai Anshun was much stronger than other children in the orc clan because he inherited the relationship of ability when he was young, so did Lin Lang become the child who refused to admit defeat and was bullied?

"But... can I understand it this way?"

"Why the questioning tone, Bai Anshun, what did you bastard do to others!? And obviously we all grew up together, why haven't I seen Lin Lang?"

Bai Anshun seemed very unwilling to dwell on this topic, and quickly changed the topic: "In short, if I stepped forward, things might get worse. Lin Lang is not a very difficult person to get along with, Although it looks a little bit wild, it is actually a very delicate child at heart.”

Delicate... I imagined in my mind how Bai Anshun bullied Lin Lang to the point of crying when he was young.Maybe Lin Lang's arrogant appearance is the shadow caused by you!

"However, I can't guarantee that you can convince him. After all, he is definitely not the only one who made this decision. If he wants to overturn this result, he must give a reasonable explanation to the orc meeting, and this explanation may not necessarily be It’s as simple as you imagine. So, I still think that if you want to solve this incident, you should give priority to solving the “animal harm” first.”

In other words, do you still have to rely on yourself in the end?But that's good too, I don't want to owe Bai Anshun any more favors.

"I decided to act on my own, is it okay?"

Bai Anshun didn't seem to understand what I meant.

"I mean, since Bai Anshun can't help, I'm going to try it myself this time. Since Bai Anshun said that he doesn't want me to do dangerous things, I've made an agreement in advance, but this time You allowed me to find that guy Lin Lang."

Bai Anshun thought for a while, then nodded.

"Well, no problem... After all, this is still the school's territory, he won't shoot you. And, if there is any danger, I will protect you..."

I don't need that kind of charity protection, I smiled.
