Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze widened his eyes and stared intently at the constantly changing scene in front of him, not missing any details that might hide key clues.

His eyes were sometimes focused and sometimes thoughtful. With his in-depth interpretation of these images, the outline of the truth gradually became clear in his mind.

He could feel that the mystery that had troubled him for so long was about to be finally revealed, and that the truth was only a stone's throw away!

At this moment, the picture suddenly flickered violently, followed by a distortion, as if it was disturbed by some powerful force.

Lin Ze's heart suddenly tightened, he knew that this must be the final struggle of the person hiding the truth behind the scenes.

He gritted his teeth, forced himself to concentrate, and tried to break through this interference.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and all interference disappeared in an instant.

The picture stabilized again and quickly moved forward, finally freezing on a familiar face.

When he saw that face, Lin Ze couldn't help but gasp. It turned out to be the mentor he had always trusted.

Lin Ze stared with his eyes wide open, looking at the mountain of solid evidence in front of him in disbelief, and a storm surged in his heart. The person who had been guiding him forward like a beacon was actually the evil hand hiding behind the scenes, manipulating everything! This cruel fact hit him hard in the heart like a heavy hammer, making him almost breathless.

However, the detailed and irrefutable evidence was ruthlessly placed there, each one like a sharp dagger, piercing his heart. No matter how he wanted to deny and escape, the evidence did not allow him to have the slightest doubt.

In an instant, anger and disappointment surged into Lin Ze's heart like a tide, drowning all his rationality. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if only this could slightly ease the surging emotions in his heart. But not long after, he took a deep breath and tried to free himself from this strong emotional impact. Gradually, his breathing stabilized, and his eyes were no longer as confused and painful as before, but replaced by an unprecedented firmness.

"Now that I know the truth of the matter, I will never let it be covered up again!" Lin Ze gritted his teeth and swore secretly.

Even if that person was once his most respected mentor, even if he had to face numerous difficulties and obstacles, he never backed down.

Because he knows very well that justice must be served and fairness must prevail over evil.

He wants to use his own power to expose this dark secret to the sunlight and give justice to everyone.

Lin Ze quietly began to collect more detailed evidence about his mentor's crime. He knew that the evidence alone was not enough to shake his mentor's position in everyone's heart. He investigated the network behind his mentor and found that many powerful people were involved.

But he was not afraid at all. He used his wisdom and connections to dig out the interests between key figures bit by bit and secretly recorded them. At a college meeting, Lin Ze presented a complete chain of evidence in front of everyone. There was an uproar in the audience. The tutor turned pale and tried to quibble, but the evidence was irrefutable. Those dignitaries who had originally protected the tutor saw that the situation was irreversible and distanced themselves from him.

In the end, the mentor was stripped of all honors and received the punishment he deserved.

Lin Ze became a legendary figure in the college who pursued justice, inspiring later students to bravely defend the truth. He also understood that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as he held justice in his heart, he could overcome all obstacles.

After this incident, Lin Ze did not become complacent about it.

He was clearly aware that there were still many hidden injustices in the academy waiting for him to discover.

On a sunny day, Lin Ze was walking on the tree-lined path of the campus as usual. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the mailbox on the side of the road and put a letter in his hand. The letter did not have the sender's name and address, and looked mysterious.

Lin Ze opened the envelope curiously. There was only a yellowed piece of letter paper inside with a few lines of words written in sloppy handwriting: "There is a shocking secret hidden deep in the college library. It is closely related to the recent inexplicable disappearances of many students. Explore it carefully and don't make it public." After reading this anonymous letter, Lin Ze frowned tightly and a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart.

After careful consideration, Lin Ze finally made up his mind to uncover the secret. As night fell, the entire campus was immersed in silence, with only a few dim lights in the library. Lin Ze quietly bypassed the patrolling security guards and sneaked into the basement of the library.

As soon as he entered the basement, a strong stench of decay hit his nose, almost choking him. He endured the discomfort and groped forward with difficulty using the weak light from the flashlight that was about to go out. The walls were covered with strange and creepy runes, as if telling a dark history that was unknown to the world.

At this moment, a cold wind blew without warning, and Lin Ze couldn't help but shiver. Then, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes like a ghost. Lin Ze's heart tightened, and he immediately became alert, tensing his muscles, ready for a fierce battle at any time.

All that was heard was a low and hoarse roar from the black shadow: "Boy, if you know what's good for you, leave here immediately and don't meddle in other people's business!" However, facing the threat, Lin Ze had no intention of backing down. He straightened his body and responded righteously: "I will never let any evil run rampant here!" After that, he rushed towards the black shadow without hesitation.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Lin Ze gradually discovered that the black shadow was extremely powerful. Every attack he made was easily resolved by the other party, and the other party's counterattacks also made him a little overwhelmed. However, Lin Ze was not discouraged by this. He firmly believed that justice would prevail over evil.

In the fierce fight, Lin Ze kept observing the black shadow's movements, looking for its flaws. Finally, he found that the black shadow would pause for a moment when turning around. Lin Ze seized this fleeting opportunity and kicked the black shadow's back fiercely. The black shadow was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Lin Ze took the opportunity to pounce on him and pressed the black shadow tightly, leaving him no room for resistance.

After a hard fight, Lin Ze finally succeeded in subduing the black shadow.

He was already out of breath at this time, but his face was filled with the joy of victory.

Then he began to carefully study the runes carved on the wall.

After much thought, he finally cracked the code of the runes and found where the missing students were trapped.
