Chapter 177 Understanding the Conspirators' Purpose
Lin Yu and Su Yao returned to Linyu College with the "Heart of Holy Light" and were warmly welcomed by the teachers and students of the college. The elders placed the "Heart of Holy Light" in the most sacred place of the college and held a grand ceremony to thank Lin Yu and Su Yao for the glory they brought to the college.
After the ceremony, the elders called Lin Yu and Su Yao aside and asked them about the origin of the "Heart of Holy Light" and the purpose of the conspirators.
"We have already investigated the origin of the 'Heart of Holy Light' very clearly." Lin Yu said, "It was originally the source of power for the God of Light, but was later seized by the forces of the Temple of Light and used to create dark magic."
"Then why does the power of the Temple of Light want to seize the 'Heart of Holy Light'?" asked the elder.
"According to our investigation, the forces of the Temple of Light want to use the power of the 'Heart of Holy Light' to completely control the magic world and establish their dark empire." Su Yao said, "They believe that as long as they have the 'Heart of Holy Light', they will be invincible in the world."
"I see." The elder pondered for a moment and said, "Then why are they targeting our Linyu College?"
"This may be related to our history." Lin Yu said, "It is said that our Linyu College was once the founder of the Holy Temple of Light, but later parted ways with the Holy Temple for some reasons. They hold a grudge against us and want to achieve their goal by destroying our college."
"So that's how it is." The elder nodded, "Then why did they come to Zhao Hao?"
"Zhao Hao may be an undercover agent of the Holy Temple of Light." Su Yao said, "He has been lurking in our college for many years, secretly collecting our intelligence and trying to sabotage our plans."
"It seems that the enemy we are facing is much more complicated than we thought." The elder said, "We need to find out Zhao Hao's true identity as soon as possible and stop their conspiracy."
"Elder, we already have a preliminary suspect." Lin Yu said, "Although Zhao Hao appears to be normal on the surface, some of his behaviors are suspicious. For example, he always shows excessive attention to the 'Heart of Holy Light', and even during our investigation, he leaked some key information intentionally or unintentionally."
"We will continue to investigate Zhao Hao." Su Yao said, "At the same time, we will also strengthen the security measures of the academy to prevent sabotage by the forces of the Temple of Light."
"Very good." The elder nodded and said, "You must be careful. The enemy's strength should not be underestimated."
Lin Yu and Su Yao returned to the dormitory and immediately began to investigate Zhao Hao's whereabouts. They found some clues by analyzing Zhao Hao's communication records and life trajectories.
Clue 1: Zhao Hao is often in contact with a mysterious person whose identity is unknown, but their relationship seems to be very close.
Clue 2: Zhao Hao had left the academy several times at night, his whereabouts were mysterious, and he always looked nervous when he came back.
Clue three: Zhao Hao seems to have some secret allies in the academy, and they also show excessive attention to the "Heart of Holy Light".
Based on these clues, Lin Yu and Su Yao speculated that Zhao Hao was most likely an undercover agent of the Temple of Light.
In order to further confirm this conjecture, Lin Yu and Su Yao decided to take action.
One night, Lin Yu and Su Yao secretly followed Zhao Hao and found that he came to an abandoned laboratory. The laboratory was full of various strange instruments and equipment, and it looked like a place for secret experiments.
They hid in a corner of the laboratory and observed Zhao Hao talking to a mysterious person. The mysterious person was dressed in black and his face was blurred, but from his tone and actions, he seemed to trust Zhao Hao very much.
"Zhao Hao, you did a great job." The mysterious figure said, "The location of the 'Heart of Holy Light' has been determined. Next, you will act according to the plan."
"Yes, master." Zhao Hao replied respectfully.
The mysterious figure took out a small box that was shining with light from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Hao.
"This is the 'Eye of Darkness'. It allows you to see things hidden in the darkness." The mysterious figure said, "With it, you can complete your mission successfully."
Zhao Hao took the "Eye of Darkness" and said excitedly: "Thank you, Master! I will definitely complete the task and serve you!"
The mysterious figure nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Lin Yu and Su Yao exchanged glances and decided to act immediately.
They quietly followed Zhao Hao and came to the back mountain of the college. There was a dense forest in the back mountain. Lin Yu and Su Yao hid in the dense forest and observed Zhao Hao's every move.
Zhao Hao came to an open space, took out a map from his pocket, and began to search for the target according to the instructions on the map.
"Where are they going?" Su Yao asked in a low voice.
"They are going to the ancient tomb in the back mountain." Lin Yu replied, "According to the instructions on the map, the fragments of the 'Heart of Holy Light' are hidden in the ancient tomb."
"It seems that we have found the key clue." Su Yao said, "We must stop their actions."
Lin Yu and Su Yao quietly followed Zhao Hao and came to the ancient tomb. The ancient tomb is an ancient building with a dilapidated appearance, but you can still feel its former glory.
Zhao Hao came to the entrance of the ancient tomb, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the door of the tomb.
"This is it." Zhao Hao said in a low voice.
Lin Yu and Su Yao rushed out from the darkness and stood in front of Zhao Hao.
"Who are you?" Zhao Hao asked in horror.
"We are students of Linyu College." Lin Yu said, "We know your conspiracy and we have seen your 'eye of darkness'."
"You...how do you know?" Zhao Hao's face was pale.
"Because we have been watching you secretly." Su Yao said, "Your whereabouts have been exposed. Now, you must accept the punishment."
Lin Yu and Su Yao subdued Zhao Hao and immediately reported the situation to the elders.
The elder was shocked when he learned of Zhao Hao's true identity. He decided to interrogate Zhao Hao in person to find out the conspiracy of the Holy Temple of Light.
After interrogation, Zhao Hao gave up his superior and admitted his crime. The elders handed Zhao Hao over to the college law enforcement team and asked him to accept legal sanctions.
At the same time, the elders also notified other magic academies, asking them to be vigilant and prevent sabotage by the forces of the Temple of Light.
Lin Yu and Su Yao showed outstanding wisdom and courage in this action. They won honor for Lin Yu College and contributed to the peace of the magic world.
Lin Yu has also grown from an ordinary boy to a true legendary hero. He will continue to work with Su Yao for the peace of the magic world.
