Full-time Creation Master

IcebloodFlower says: Read this book!

The replay of the mind connection was triggered, and the holographic projection lit up with a "whoosh".

In Li Juan's office, she crossed her legs, crumpled Zhang Wei's application form for postgraduate recommendation into a ball in front of her, and threw it precisely into the trash can, muttering, "A country bumpkin from out of town wants to climb the social ladder? Dream on."

The spotlight swept across the crowd and precisely focused on Zhang Wei, who was wearing a worn-out cotton shirt.

She was short, with a low ponytail that was somewhat dry at the ends. Her hands were gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles white as if they were about to crack.

It's rare to see a student from a non-teaching background looking so haggard.

The magic of light automatically projected her experiences: her parents favored boys over girls; she ate cold steamed buns while doing homework during the day, the buns were so hard they hurt her teeth; at night, she worked as a waitress in a restaurant, and her wrists were scalded by hot oil poured on them by a customer, causing a series of blisters; in the early morning, she sorted packages at a courier station, her fingers were so cold and swollen that she couldn't even hold a pen.

The final scene shows her standing in front of Li Juan's desk, watching her application for graduate school admission turn into worthless paper.

Tears fell onto the cold floor tiles, shattering into tiny splashes.

"Every page of your son's property deed is stained with the blood and sweat of my entire family!"

Her heartfelt words, choked with sobs, echoed throughout every corner of the square.

Li Juan was trembling all over. She had just opened her mouth to shout, "I didn't, she did it voluntarily."

The flames within the light net instantly turned black, like venomous snakes burrowing from the fingertips toward the heart.

She screamed shrilly, her voice cracking like a leaky whistle: "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Director Sun of the Logistics and Infrastructure Department colluded with me to split the enrollment money! He even sold the school's project bidding information to the Chen family, making at least 500,000 yuan! He's the one who dragged me into this!"

The confession exploded like a thunderclap in the square, causing a moment of silence that lasted half a second, loud enough to hear the wind blowing.

"Attention Center! Location: Director Sun of the Infrastructure Department. Dispatch personnel immediately to assist in his arrest!"

Qiu Benshan raised his hand, and the three cameras on either side lit up red, like emergency signal lights, establishing a real-time connection with the Shensha Center satellite in the air.

According to regulations, in all cases where the camera is "not turned on," "broken," or "has no signal," it must undergo a higher level of moral examination by the spirit officer team!

Without a moment's pause, the multi-functional camera projected a wanted poster and coordinates.

The light of the trial has been firmly fixed on Deputy Director Liu, who is in charge of student affairs.

In the holographic projection, the lights were off in the cramped office, and the curtains were drawn tightly.

Deputy Director Liu blocked the girl in the school uniform, his greasy hand grabbing her waist, the smell of alcohol almost wafting through the projector: "I want to apply for a scholarship of 12,000 yuan, and I want the right to use the Nebula Magic Artifact."

Furthermore, I heard that your boyfriend got into trouble and had his magical cultivation crippled, and now...

You need to be more sensible; don't be so ungrateful.

The girl kept her head down, letting Deputy Director Liu touch her all over.

Tears fell onto the hem of her school uniform skirt, and her shoulders trembled like leaves in the autumn wind, a sight that stung the eyes.

"brute!"

A man with engine oil smeared on his cuffs roared as he charged forward. When the barrier of light blocked his way, he slammed his head against it, his forehead turning red. "That's my girlfriend! No wonder I've been crying with the lights on at night these past few days!"

You dog in human skin, you deserve to go to hell!

Damn it! He deserves to die! I deserve to die too!

The remaining people in the line, seeing the horrific sight of the principal and director being scorched by the ink fire, their chubby faces contorted in agony, their mental defenses completely crumbling. "I confess! I confess to everything!" he cried, his face streaked with snot and tears, "Director Wang from the admissions office gave me 20,000 yuan in cash to help him get his nephew into the experimental class!"

There's also Accountant Zhou from the finance department. She helped us falsify accounts to cover up the corruption, and she herself also received a lot of benefits!

I haven't dared to make any big mistakes!

"Don't burn me!"

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from the building entrance. Two law enforcement officers dressed in silver robes ran over, holding body cameras and flashing red lights on their chests: "Reporting to Officer Zhao and Officer Qiu!"

Director Sun has been arrested in his office, and 20 million yuan in illicit funds and the transaction contract he signed with the Chen family have been seized on the spot!

The cheers erupted instantly, louder than thunder.

Some people jumped up, clenching their fists; others wiped away tears and hugged those around them. A boy in a school uniform cried and said to his classmates, "Finally! Someone is listening to our grievances!"

A chain reaction then broke out.

As soon as the light of judgment shone on Zhou Ming from the Physics Department, he fell to his knees with a thud, his knees hitting the light grid with a dull thud.

"I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

He pressed his forehead against the light net, trembling with sobs. "The Chen family threatened me with Lin Hao's orphan certificate, saying they'd break his legs if I didn't turn his lightning-type talent into a useless one!"

"Director Zheng from the Academic Affairs Office also knows about this! He accepted an ancient painting worth hundreds of thousands of yuan from the Chen family that could be used to concentrate one's mind, helped me cover it up, and even suggested that I change Lin Hao's information to 'a useless person with no attributes'!"

The holographic projection immediately displayed an image: the arrogant Lin Hao was incredulous, while Zhou Ming's cold inner voice echoed simultaneously: "An orphan without parents has no life. The benefits from the Chen family are what truly matter."

"Last year he said he was dropping out of school due to illness. I went to his house and found out that he was scratched by a demon while carrying bricks at a construction site. He is still in the hospital and his leg is almost gone!" Someone in the crowd talked about Lin Hao's whereabouts.

Zhao Jingyi's silver-white robe was soaked with sweat, clinging to her back and outlining her tall and straight figure.

Qiu Benshan's lips bled a little, and the taste of blood spread on his tongue. There was nothing he could do; as a true farmer, he would get anxious and angry every time he saw such a scene!

Each confession required him to quickly verify the information and coordinate the arrest simultaneously. Through his communicator, Sherlock Holmes's reports kept coming in:

"Director Zheng was arrested in the conference room, and the ancient paintings involved in the case have been seized."

"Accountant Zhou is transferring embezzled funds via online banking. The account has been frozen, and Zhou has been apprehended."

Inside the light network, the resisters were engulfed by the inky flames, writhing in pain on the ground.

The flames on the confessor turned golden-red, and the burning sensation lessened!

The magic of light that reaches the soul is never different for anyone, and it never deviates in the slightest. Unless one's mental strength reaches a certain level, one cannot avoid the 'side effect' of burning the soul.

Of course, no matter what level of spiritual power one has reached, once one lies, black smoke will billow out within the holy and luminous magic circle!

The emotions in the square were like a rollercoaster, rising and falling.

Some people gloated, while others dug out their treasured old photos. The photos on the sign had been soaked by rain, and the edges were all curled. Someone squatted on the ground and cried, saying that because they didn't have money to give gifts to their professors, they were deliberately failed and had to delay graduation, and were almost driven to suicide by their families. A strong wind whipped up a banner that read "Education is not a business." The banner fluttered in the wind, and the words were written in red paint, making it particularly eye-catching.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the crowd, illuminating tearful faces.

I can't tell if it's sweat or tears.

All I know is that those tears held long-suppressed grievances, anger at injustice, and a yearning for justice.

"Ding! Annoyed by Li Juan's name, she has revealed Sun Ming from the East China Sea Magic Association's Higher Education Cooperation Department... Please arrest him!"

[Message received. Police have been dispatched from the nearest location. Due to the East China Sea Magic Association being a high-risk area, the vice-leader of the East China Sea "Raging Waves" High-Rank Mage Corps and the captain of the 15th Company of the Iron Warriors Security Department of Shanghai University have been urgently mobilized...]

Because Sun Ming is a transcendental mage, exceeding the scope of the Spirit Official's judgment, a portion of the Three Lives Stone has been allocated to assist him in this life...
