An Zhe couldn’t find them at all. Everyone looked up at the endless night sky. There was a solemn silence in the lobby and it took a long time before people dispersed. An Zhe was still standing there when gentle footsteps were heard behind him. It was Seraing.

“I sometimes wondered why the colonel chose me as his successor. What qualities and guidelines does he think a judge should have?” Seraing spoke. “Now I think it is contrary to what other people think. It isn’t coldness, it is kindness.”

“Human interests above all else. It isn’t kindness to one person but to the fate of humanity as a whole. This is the source of his unshakable faith.” Seraing’s voice was soft and hoarse. “I hope that people 100 years from now won’t have to face everything we are facing, if there are still humans at that time.”

An Zhe didn’t speak. He just stared at up the starry night sky, a vast ocean of endless glory.

Seraing draped a coat over him. “Once the aurora is lit again, the colonel will return.”

CHAPTER 45

“Even if it is wrong, it is still correct.”

The Trial Court’s work office was connected to the training area, with the words ‘human interests takes precedence over everything else’ on one side and the above sentence written on the other side.

Below this sentence was a row of silver photo frames. The first photo frame was blank and then continued forward. The second photo frame contained a black and white photo and showed an officer approximately in his 30s, wearing a judge’s uniform. The wall was engraved with his date and birth and date of death under the frame. He was 36 years old and died seven years ago.

The next frame was still a black and white photo with the date of birth and date of death. An Zhe moved forward. The next photos were similar in the years of birth and death and the age of their lives was moving forward. Thus, An Zhe knew these were photos of the previous judges and the blank photo frame at the very edge was undoubtedly left for Lu Feng.

Thinking of this, An Zhe stopped for a moment, an indescribable weight pressed on his heart. If he could, he hoped that Lu Feng’s photo wouldn’t be hung up anything soon. Just like when Lu Feng boarded the plane tonight, he had hoped this person could stay, stay in a safe place.

Still, Lu Feng had made his choice.

An Zhe followed Seraing and continued to move forward. Then a strange scene appeared at the end of the photo gallery.
