"I don't have any evidence."

Lin Guohui shook his head with a hint of regret, then added a touch of mockery to his tone, "However, what evidence do you have to accuse me? To think that I am a mole based solely on this unsigned and unstamped document is wishful thinking."

"This document was given to me by you! You handed it to me personally!" Kaneki said with absolute certainty, as if it were the truth.

Representative Su chimed in at the opportune moment: "We can't produce complete evidence, indeed. But don't forget, you were the one who spearheaded Project Titan, and you are the supreme ruler of Schicksal. Now that you're tainted with the stain of an internal traitor, do you think any magical girl will still unconditionally trust and support you in the future?"

This was the government's long-planned scheme: to use the Titan Project, which was opposed by the magical girls, and the document in Kaneki's possession, to completely ruin Lin Guohui's reputation; once he lost the support of the people, the government could then take over Destiny in a logical manner.

Cecilia stood silently to the side, feeling disgusted and disgusted by the increasingly aggressive government and Kaneki's betrayal.

She couldn't understand why, as fellow Chinese, people would scheme and plot against each other like this? Could they really disregard basic human morality just to gain control of the magical girls?

Even though she was confused and furious, there was nothing she could do but stand by and wait for one side to produce compelling evidence.

"boom!"

Just then, Mu hope burst through the door, her voice urgent and panicked: "Minister! Numerous magical girls across the country are protesting against the government, demanding your dismissal!"

"Hahaha! Minister Lin, you're finished!"

Upon hearing this news, Kaneki burst into laughter, his face beaming with the smugness of a victor. "The magical girls are no longer willing to wait; they've been thoroughly enraged! Now, even if you bow your head and admit your mistakes, the government can't protect you!"

Cecilia sighed: "Minister Lin, if you can't produce strong evidence, I'm afraid you really will have to resign this time."

This matter has affected countless magical girls across the country, but Lin Guohui has been unable to prove his innocence. Even though she wanted to protect him, she was ultimately powerless to change the situation.

The situation had completely turned in favor of the government, but Representative Su frowned, his mind filled with confusion: Why was the planned dragon-slaying operation launched ahead of schedule?

However, even at this point, Lin Guohui remained calm.

He waved for the flustered Mu hope to leave, then sat upright in his chair, his posture tall and composed. His dignified face, weathered by time, exuded a calm and confident air of complete control.

Everything is going as expected; it's time to turn things around!

Chapter 108 The Traitor Revealed

Seeing Lin Guohui's consistently confident demeanor, Councilor Su's unease grew stronger and stronger, to the point of being difficult to suppress.

Almost instinctively, he stepped up to Lin Guohui, stared intently at his old friend, and said something startling: "Old Lin, did you foresee this all along and set up this scheme in advance?"

"Councilor Su!"

Kaneki said, "He has completely lost the magical girls' trust and can't explain the source of the documents. Don't be fooled by his act of being mysterious. Good will prevail over evil, and we will win this time!"

He practically shouted his last words, whether to comfort others or to encourage himself, it was unclear.

Meeting Councilor Su's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Guohui smiled knowingly and uttered equally startling words: "I certainly cannot prove that the manufacturing documents for the K1 Titan were not written by me, nor can I erase the fact that I was the one who spearheaded the Titan project. But what if I said that I actually knew who the mole was all along?"

"What do you mean?"

Representative Su's expression changed drastically, and he took a few more steps forward. The two were now very close, and their expressions and skin textures were clearly visible to each other.

"You know the identity of the mole? But you said you knew nothing before... What's going on?" Cecilia's thoughts were thrown into disarray by this sudden reversal.

Lin Guohui slowly stood up, gently pushed aside Councilor Su in front of him, and walked step by step toward Jinmu.

As he watched that tall figure approach step by step, Kaneki felt as if he had returned to the past. The courage that had just risen in his heart was once again swallowed up by the surge of inferiority.

He didn't even dare to look the other person in the eye, and retreated in a panic until his back hit the edge of the table, leaving him with nowhere to go.

"What...what do you want to do?" Kaneki's voice trembled.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to reveal the truth."

Behind Lin Guohui, two figures stared silently.

He raised his hand and pointed at Kaneki, whose eyes were darting away, his voice booming like thunder, shaking the entire room: "You are the traitor."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Jinmu suddenly came to his senses. He mustered up the courage from who-knows-where, pushed Lin Guohui aside, and retorted sharply, "You're spreading rumors! You're just spouting nonsense! The K1 Titan documents came from you. No matter how you try to deny it, that's an undeniable fact!"

"You claim he's a traitor, what evidence do you have?"

"Old Lin, I understand how you feel, but you can't just slander others without any evidence."

Cecilia and Representative Su then spoke.

"Everything requires evidence, I understand."

Lin Guohui calmly reached out, opened his phone, and pulled up a pre-prepared record file, displaying it to the two of them.

“Cecilia previously speculated that the witch’s resurrection was due to someone stealing the Grief Seed from the storage room. To that end, I specifically retrieved the access records of the storage room for the past six months. As you can see, Kaneki has been entering and leaving the storage room unusually frequently in the past month.”

The two stared at their phone screens, their faces filled with disbelief.

The screen clearly listed every entry and exit record, with fifteen entries marked with Kaneki's visit icon, far exceeding the number of others.

“Don’t believe him! He’s talking nonsense!” Kaneki argued confidently. “I don’t have access to the storage room at all. Minister Lin granted me temporary access so I could go in and retrieve the Seed of Lamentation for project research.”

"Now that things have come to this, you still dare to try and shift the blame?"

Lin Guohui shook his head and chuckled, then presented even more conclusive evidence, "Even the government knows that core access to the storage room is limited to only five people. The security system has never had a temporary authorization function enabled since its inception, so how could I possibly grant you authorization?"

At this moment, Cecilia spoke up: "That's right, the storage room is Schicksal's most core confidential area, with extremely strict security rules and no temporary authorization mechanism. Apart from the five authorized holders, anyone who breaks in without authorization will be attacked by the system."

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

Kaneki clenched his fist quietly, unwilling to give up. "Who can guarantee that you haven't secretly tampered with the system rules? You are the founder of Destiny, every brick and tile of the base has passed through your hands, you definitely have that ability."

Lin Guohui didn't rush to refute, but Cecilia firmly stated, "There's absolutely no way that's possible. The security system in the storage room is the result of a collaborative research effort by hundreds of top researchers from Destiny. To tamper with the established rules, not only would it require authorization from five authorized users, but also certification from more than half of the core members of the research and development team. No one can unilaterally alter the system in the slightest."

"I've only been inside once from beginning to end. I don't acknowledge the other fourteen times! These records are fabricated and deliberately slanderous!" Jinmu was still unwilling to give up.

“Yes, with the advancement of Tianming Technology, it’s not difficult to forge records on a mobile phone.” Councilor Su nodded in agreement.

"I like your attitude of seeking knowledge."

Lin Guohui turned and walked out, saying, "Come with me, let's go to the storage room together and check the original records."

Cecilia followed closely behind him.

Representative Su gave Jinmu an inquiring look, and only after receiving a reassuring look from the other did he feel at ease and follow him.

At this moment, within the Destiny Base, many staff members were in a state of panic due to the collective protest by the magical girls, fearing that the situation would spiral out of control.

When Lin Guohui appeared and calmly nodded to everyone, everyone felt as if they had seen a pillar of stability, and their restless hearts instantly calmed down.

This is the unique personal charm of Lin Guohui.

This scene was witnessed by Councilor Su, causing his eyes to darken slightly.

The system records can't be changed, let's see what you do then... Kaneki smiled sinisterly to himself.

Before long, the four arrived at the fourth basement level and stopped in front of the heavy alloy door.

"Request verification of access records for the past six months".

Please complete the following verification: ...

Lin Guohui followed the system prompts and completed the authentication process step by step.

The entire certification process took a full three minutes. Combined with the time spent in the lab, he had only ten minutes left to fulfill his promise.

Finally, the authentication was successful, and the access records appeared clearly.

Kaneki topped the list of visitors, and his video was played on a loop, showing no signs of being faked.

Upon witnessing these records firsthand, Representative Su could no longer remain calm and turned pale.

If Kaneki is indeed a hidden mole, then the government that is in control behind the scenes will suffer an unprecedented blow. At that time, any attempt to intervene and gain control of the magical girls will be nothing short of a pipe dream.

"This can't be...it can't be! I only came here once! I'm not a mole! No..."

Kaneki clutched his head with both hands, shaking it wildly, clearly on the verge of a breakdown.

The next second, he suddenly pointed at Lin Guohui and screamed hysterically, "It was you who did this! You planned everything all along! You're the traitor! You gave me the K1 Titan files and forged these access records, trying to make me take the blame for you!"

Faced with his junior's accusations, Lin Guohui chuckled: "Is this your last struggle? Just like before, nothing more than the futile wailing of a loser."

"Shut up!"

A surge of rage instantly engulfed Kaneki's mind, and the resentment that had been building up in his heart for many years finally erupted. A dark seed quietly sprouted amidst the rage.

Scenes from high school to university replayed uncontrollably in his mind:

"Why aren't you eating breakfast again? If you don't mind, please accept this bread. It's not good for your health to eat on an empty stomach."

"Why do you always get bullied and stay silent? If you can't win, you can tell me. From now on, the class monitor will protect you."

"I remember it's your birthday today. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't hesitate to ask."

"You ask me why I'm so nice to you? I'm older than you, and I'm the class monitor, so it's only right that I take care of my classmates. From now on, you can call me 'older sister,' okay?"

……

In Kaneki's past life, there was once a sunny and cheerful girl who illuminated his dark years. He thought he could always enjoy this kindness in peace, until he mustered up the courage to respond to the light that shone on him.

But all that was beautiful shattered after entering university.

That day, he watched as the gentle and bright young woman led a tall, handsome man to him.

The two held hands tightly, the girl's eyes filled with happiness as she smiled and introduced him: "Jinmu, this is my boyfriend Lin Guohui, a senior in our third year of university, but from now on, he'll be your brother-in-law."

That man was impeccable in every way – looks, ability, and family background.

He couldn't even muster the will to fight; he simply smiled and offered his blessings before turning and leaving.

It was at that moment that Kaneki died.

He was utterly killed by the blade called inferiority complex.

"elder sister……"

In a daze, Kaneki seemed to see that bright, departed figure appear before him again.

This time, he didn't hesitate. He reached out to grasp the tenderness that was rightfully his, his voice hoarse as he murmured, "Sister..."

The seed in my heart, amidst the flames and my unwavering determination, blossomed completely.

"what……"

A violent and vast surge of dark energy erupted from his body, instantly engulfing him entirely.

One star, two stars, three stars...
