crisis
The spring is still chilly, and the wind in February is dry and a little chilly, mixed with the remaining coolness of winter. The sunlight is soft and not so glaring.
Lin Yuan welcomed a new semester. She walked towards Zhimo Zhai with her book box on her back, thinking about how she could stay in Jinghu School for a longer time, but this would go against her promise to Yu Liushang.
Oh... I'm too stupid. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the gentleness, cuteness, and intelligence of a novel heroine, nor the fighting power of a villain, nor the unique skills of a female supporting role in flirting with men, so...
"Who on earth was so stupid as to let me travel through time? The system?"
"This... personal privacy cannot be disclosed." The system was about to cry. At first, it was a newbie who was assigned a task and was extremely happy. Later, the system said, "Your customer is a veteran who has been ripping off the system for two hundred years. Be careful not to be fleeced."
At first, it didn't take it seriously. What was so hard about being a good person? But now it realized it was wrong, and its heart was filled with sorrow. This mission was completely broken.
"Is he playing a trick on me? Can I contact him now? I want to complain."
System: "That person has gone to pay off his debt and cannot be contacted."
Lin Yuan snorted in his heart and was about to say something when he was knocked down unexpectedly, and the books in the bookcase fell to the ground.
When she stood up, she saw Du Zhiming packing up her books and hurriedly saying, "Sorry, Junior Sister Lin, I left too hastily."
"It's okay, it's okay. You didn't mean it." Lin Yuan thought that Du Zhiming would attack her because of the last martial arts alliance, but she didn't expect him to be so broad-minded and let go of the past.
After the two of them picked up the scattered things, Du Zhiming hurried to the study. Lin Yuan was a little puzzled because the class was clearly not going to start for another hour.
She arrived at Zhimozhai and looked around. There were only three or four people there. She knelt on the mat and took out a novel to read. She read it attentively, concentrating on summarizing the characteristics and strategies of the villains in the book.
She is a noob, and has to do boring good guy tasks every day. It's so hypocritical. It would be better for her to be a villain or a bad person. At least it's fun!
After her mission was completed, she left, hiding her bad reputation and wanting to do something different in her final days. So she summed up the "36 Strategies of the Evil Man"...
After a long time, when the teacher opened the class, she opened the "Analects of Confucius" and saw a black token stuck in the book. She picked it up and looked at it curiously. The words "冀" and "风" were written on the front and back respectively, and there were strange red patterns around them.
She was stunned for a moment, as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head. Before she could process it, a shout broke the silence of the study.
"Ah! Lin Yuan, how do you have the token of the Demon Cult?!" a sharp-eyed woman nearby screamed.
It's over, she can't hide anymore.
Suddenly, the study was in an uproar. "Yes, that's the token of the Jifeng Tower of the Demon Sect!"
"She's actually a spy, lurking here. Could it be that the Demon Cult is planning some earth-shattering crime?"
"Don't jump to conclusions. Junior Sister Lin wouldn't be..." However, the objection was drowned out by the voices of doubt.
The Master walked straight towards Lin Yuan, took the token from her hand, and said solemnly, "Lin Yuan, come with me to Hongshan Hall. I believe you are not a spy."
Lin Yuan glanced at Du Zhiming who was hiding behind the crowd, then nodded and obeyed obediently, and was escorted to Hongshan Hall by two thugs.
Four elders sat in the hall. The head of the sect, dressed in white, stroked the demon cult token and tossed it to Elder Yikong. "Third Elder, this token is truly on your disciple."
Elder Yikong glanced at the token and said coldly, "Isn't this a frame-up by someone else? If I put it in your hands, would I be able to say the same thing about you?"
The master has a bad look on his face. You, a drunkard, can't you give the master a little face?
The headmaster did not answer him, knowing that he was protecting his own son, and instead asked Lin Yuan to explain clearly.
"Master, this morning Du Zhiming knocked down a disciple and took the opportunity to slip the token into the disciple's book."
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, no one saw it at the time."
Now the hall was completely silent.
Lin Yuan thought of something fun and became excited.
"Send it to Du Zhiming."
Du Zhiming arrived moments later. He had known this was going to happen and had made some preparations. "I arrived at the study over an hour before the class started and chatted with Junior Sister Gu Pan'er. I didn't move around during that time. Junior Sister Gu and the other students in Class B can testify to this."
Calling Gu Paner and others for confrontation was just as he said.
Gu Pan'er: "Junior Sister Lin arrived more than half an hour before the class started. How can you say that Senior Brother Du bumped into you? I'm afraid he wants to put the blame on someone else."
Oh, so Du Zhiming rushed to the study in such a hurry, hoping to take advantage of this tiny gap in time to succeed.
Lin Yuan had guessed long ago that Du Zhiming had thousands of ways to take revenge on me, but he chose this one. Isn't that Gu Paner behind the scenes?
She is the only one who will reveal her hidden identity.
The headmaster frowned: "Lin Yuan, do you have any objections?"
Lin Yuan knelt straight, and said calmly, "I only know that this is a frame-up."
Elder Wu Wang's rough voice rang out: "Once you enter the Criminal Justice Department, you can tell the truth."
Elder Yikong said sternly, "Are you trying to force a confession through torture?"
"Torture can open the mouths of stubborn people..." Wu Wang's eyes widened and his face flushed.
Elder Yikong slammed the table and said, "If my disciple is wronged, how will you compensate him?"
The headmaster said: "That's enough! Let's do as Elder Wu Wang said."
"Master!" Elder Yikong stared at the Master.
The headmaster didn't look at him and said angrily, "That's all for today." Then he walked out of the hall quickly.
Elder Yikong looked at Lin Yuan with a soothing look. Lin Yuan nodded obediently and said with a faint smile: "Disciple will prove his innocence, Master, don't worry."
Elder Yikong sighed. "Look at him! What a good kid! He's like a little lamb! How could he be one of those blood-sucking creatures from the Demon Sect?" He then followed the Sect Leader.
The headmaster straightened his sleeves as he stood on the bluestone road and explained calmly, "Lin Yuan was imprisoned in the prison. If she was a spy for the Demon Cult, they would be afraid she would reveal secrets and would send people to kill her. If she didn't make any move, it would be an injustice."
Elder Yikong still felt reluctant, "You are risking my disciple's life!"
The headmaster raised his eyebrows and said in a cold tone: "If you trust your own disciple, you don't have to worry about her life being in danger."
Elder Yikong frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead deepening as he slowly shook his head: "Ever since you became the Sect Leader, you've been as cold-blooded and confused as you are today! Yuan Xuanlang was like this back then, and he's still like this now. If anything happens to my disciple, I'll never let you go!"
"Hmph!" He flicked his sleeves and left.
The headmaster silently looked at the new sprouts in the flower garden for a long time without saying a word.
The matter was settled, and Lin Yuan was taken away. When she passed by Gu Paner, she gave her a cold look.
A trace of panic flashed in Gu Paner's eyes. She comforted herself in her heart that Lin Yuan was originally a member of the Demon Sect, so this was not an injustice to her.
Lin Yuan was intercepted by Yuan Xuanlang on the way.
"Junior sister, you must be wronged." Yuan Xuanlang looked at her anxiously, wanting her answer.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay. I will be released from prison in three days and will prove my innocence. Brother, don't worry."
She was not wronged. Since she took over the original owner's body, she should bear the consequences. Therefore, she never denied her identity as a member of the Demon Cult from beginning to end. She just said that the token was a frame-up. Most people followed this logic and inferred that she was not a member of the Demon Cult.
Who can be blamed for this? The 15th Stratagem of the 36 Stratagems of the Evil One: "Make a feint to the east and attack in the west, cleverly lay a maze to confuse the enemy."
What kind of place is the Criminal Court? Anyone who enters will be skinned alive.
Yuan Xuanlang couldn't help but pull her hand and try to drag her back, "No, we can ask Master for mercy. Even confinement is fine, but at least don't go to the Criminal Justice Department..."
He was stopped by two guards with knives at point-blank range. "Get out," he said coldly, an undercurrent surging beneath his calm tone.
Lin Yuan felt his hands were cold and she broke out in a cold sweat. She was touched for a moment. Is there anyone who cares about her so much?
Since she traveled through time, she smiled at others and they smiled back at her. Now she doesn't smile anymore and tries to dive deep into the sea, but no one really pays attention to her and no one comes to ask her why she doesn't smile anymore.
Looking back, I realized that there are still people who care about me.
After being moved, I felt like my brain was kicked by a donkey. It's such a time and I'm still thinking about these things.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Lin Yuan quickly stood in the middle and said, "Brother, I will definitely go with you, but I have to persuade my senior brother to retreat first."
After getting the guard's permission, Lin Yuan pulled him aside, motioned him to lower his head, and whispered in his ear: "You have to believe me, in three days..."
Yuan Xuanlang frowned: "Is it okay?" Although hesitant, he still agreed.
