The Last Bullet of the Campus

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the college campus. The air was thick with anticipation, a silent storm brewing in the hearts of the students. Among them was Xiao Li, a quiet and reserved freshman, who had no idea that his life was about to change forever.

It all began with a simple assignment from Professor Wang. Xiao Li was to interview a fellow student, a senior named Zhang Wei, for an upcoming project. Zhang Wei was known around campus for his reclusive nature, but Xiao Li had no reason to suspect that this encounter would lead him down a dangerous path.

The interview was uneventful, but Xiao Li noticed something peculiar about Zhang Wei. The senior seemed to be under immense stress, often glancing around the room as if he were searching for something. Xiao Li's curiosity was piqued, but he dismissed it as nothing more than a nervous tic.

A few days later, Xiao Li received a mysterious note in his mailbox. It was a photograph of Zhang Wei, along with a cryptic message: "The truth is buried in the past." Xiao Li's mind raced, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

Determined to uncover the truth, Xiao Li began to dig deeper. He discovered that Zhang Wei's family had a dark history, shrouded in secrecy and tragedy. According to rumors, Zhang Wei's father was a notorious arms dealer, and the campus was a front for his illegal activities. Xiao Li was baffled; he had never heard of such a thing before.

As Xiao Li's investigation progressed, he stumbled upon a hidden storage room beneath the college's library. Inside, he found a cache of weapons and documents detailing the arms dealing operations. The revelation was shocking, but Xiao Li's curiosity only grew stronger.

One evening, Xiao Li decided to confront Zhang Wei. He found him in a secluded corner of the campus, surrounded by the same weapons he had seen in the storage room. Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with fear, and he confessed that he had been forced to participate in his father's illegal activities. He had been sent to the campus to keep an eye on the operations and had been instructed to dispose of any evidence that could incriminate him.

The confession was a turning point for Xiao Li. He realized that he had to do something to stop Zhang Wei from being implicated. He devised a plan to hide the evidence and ensure that Zhang Wei would be able to leave the campus without a trace.

However, Xiao Li's actions were not without consequences. As he was preparing to execute his plan, he was confronted by Zhang Wei's father, a cold and calculating man who had no intention of letting his son go free. A tense standoff ensued, and Xiao Li found himself cornered, with only one option left—use the last bullet he had.

In a moment of despair, Xiao Li pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed through the campus, and Zhang Wei's father fell to the ground, dead. Xiao Li watched in horror as the lifeless body lay at his feet, the weight of his actions pressing down on his shoulders.

In the aftermath, Xiao Li was haunted by the events that had transpired. He had become a pawn in a dangerous game, and the consequences were dire. Zhang Wei had vanished without a trace, and Xiao Li was left to grapple with the weight of his decision.

The campus returned to its usual rhythm, but Xiao Li knew that the truth had been buried too deeply to be unearthed. He carried the burden of his actions, a silent witness to the tragedy that had unfolded before his eyes.

As he walked through the campus one last time, Xiao Li couldn't help but wonder if he had made the right choice. The last bullet had sealed his fate, and the campus was left to remember him as a silent witness to a dark secret.
