The Woman In the Corner

It was the sixth day of the ultimate test.

"It suddenly occurred to me that something is wrong with this test."

As usual, Chu Zhiyun was chewing a lollipop in a fancy dress and watching soap operas from the Imperium with Tang Ka when she made the unexpected remark.

"W-What?"

Tang Ka was almost scared out of his wits. He looked around subconsciously, fearing that someone would show up and arrest them. "What's wrong? What have you found?"

"I don't know. I just don't feel very well. We, the Children of Holy Light, have the best instincts. Have you felt anything wrong?"

Chu Zhiyun was sitting on an indoor swing. She said, "Many students who entered the town with us were gone in the past two days. This town is now awfully quiet."

"It's because they're eliminated, right?"

Tang Ka thought for a moment and said, "The elimination rate in this ultimate test is very high in the first place!"

"That's exactly the problem."
