Lawyer Xia, what's wrong?" The old woman could not help but ask when she saw Natsume looking at her strangely.
"No…nothing." Natsume quickly composed himself and shook his head.
"Lawyer Xia, if I remember correctly, today should be the day the court will announce the verdict. May I ask, what was the verdict of the court?”The old woman didn't think too much about it. She looked at Natsume with hope and anticipation in her eyes.
"Old man, I'm sorry." Natsume said apologetically as he felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by the old woman. "Due to insufficient evidence, the court decided not to sue them.”
" Wha…What?!" Hearing this, the expectant look in the old woman's eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by endless pain and despair.
"Old man, I'm sorry. I couldn't help you in the end!”Natsume whispered.
"Lawyer Xia, you don't have to apologize to me. I know you've done your best.”The old woman shook her head and said in a sobbing voice. "The reality of society is just so cruel. Where is there a place for us commoners to reason?”
"Old man, there's an old saying in the Republic of China,'Heaven's net has long arms.”Natsume said. "I believe that even if those villains can escape the punishment of the law, they will still not have a good ending.”
"Lawyer Xia, thank you for your advice and comfort. I'm leaving.”The old woman stood up and bowed deeply to Natsume before turning around and walking out.
"Old man, don't take things too hard.”Natsume said worriedly as he looked at the old woman's life span, which was less than five minutes.
"Lawyer Xia, don't worry. I won't commit suicide.”The old woman smiled sadly at Natsume. "Real life is already so cruel. I won't make things difficult for myself.”
"Old man, please take care." Natsume said.
The old woman nodded and walked out of Natsume's office with slow steps.
"Bang!"
A few minutes later, a loud thud came from outside, as if something heavy had fallen from the sky and smashed onto the ground.
"As…as expected, the Book of Death is real, and so is the Eye of Death!!”Natsume's eyes widened as he stared at the mangled corpse of the old woman downstairs. He spoke in a trembling voice.
"Ah! Jumping off a building! Someone jumped off the building!"
"Someone died! Someone died!"
"Call the police! Call the police!"
The law firm was soon in chaos. Men's roars and women's screams could be heard everywhere.
"Since the Heavenly Dao is unfair, then from now on, I will enforce justice on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.”Natsume looked at the unrecognizable corpse of the old woman and recalled the tragic deaths of his parents. His heart was filled with immense anger.
At this moment, he decided to use the Book of Death in his hand to sentence those who should have died but were still free from the law!
"Natsume! Natsume!" Suddenly, a panicked shout came from outside the corridor.
"This Book of Death is too eye-catching.”Natsume thought to himself.
"Chi!"
What Natsume didn't expect was that the Book of Death in his hand immediately turned into a blazing light and branded itself on his left wrist.
"That's great!" Natsume exclaimed in surprise and delight as he looked at the exquisite design of the Book of Death on his left wrist.
"Natsume, bad news. Old Mrs. Camden…she committed suicide by jumping off a building.”The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a suit in his thirties rushed in and said in a panic.
"Brother Chen, I already know. You go first. I'll be right there.”Natsume whispered.
He looked at the man in the suit without blinking. The words " Chen Pengfei " appeared on the left side of his head, while the words " 40 years, 9 months, and 7 days " appeared on the right side of his head.
"Natsume, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This isn't your fault.”Chen Pengfei walked over and patted Natsume on the shoulder. After saying that, he turned around and left.
There were a lot of people surrounding the building. Although everyone's faces were filled with fear, they still refused to leave and stayed there to watch.
Natsume looked over and saw everyone's names and lifespans appearing before his eyes. This scene was extremely strange. It was as if he was a god walking in the world, looking down on all living beings!
"A kind old man was forced to death by those beasts!”Natsume stared unblinkingly at the old woman's corpse and bit her lips as she hissed.
Soon, several police cars arrived. The police dispersed the crowd, sealed the scene, and took away a few witnesses. As the old woman had interacted with Natsume before she died, Natsume was also taken to the police station to make a statement.
"From today onwards, I will no longer be a lawyer. I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!”Natsume returned to his office and wrote his resignation letter.
"Clang!" Suddenly, the office door was kicked open.
"Who is it?" Natsume couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"Lawyer Natsume, we meet again.”Following a mocking voice, three burly men in suits walked in from the door.
"It's you guys!" Natsume saw the three of them clearly, and two sharp rays of light shot out from her eyes.
He had seen all three of them before. When he first went to Lu County to collect evidence, he was threatened with death by them!
Li Changtai, 72 years and 3 days;
Wang Mingming, seventy-five years, two months, and nine days;
Sun Ning, eighty-one years.
Through the Eye of Death, Natsume saw the names of the three people and their remaining lifespans. What puzzled and angered Natsume was that the lifespans of these three people were strangely high, almost reaching the standard of living to a hundred years old.
"Could it be that this is the so-called good people don't live long, but evil people last for a thousand years?”Natsume gritted his teeth in his heart.
