This is day six of the ultimate test.
"I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this test."
Chu Zhiyun was wearing a flowery dress as usual, chewing a lollipop, and studying soap operas from the empire with Thangka.
For some reason, she suddenly said such a sentence out of nowhere.
"Wha, what?"
Thangka was almost knocked out of his mind by her fright.
He looked around subconsciously, fearing that a pair of sharp eyes would suddenly appear somewhere, "Wha, what's the problem?
What did you find?"
"I don't know, I just feel very bad - we 'Children of the Holy Light' have the most sensitive intuitions, don't you think it's weird?"
Chu Zhiyun sat on an indoor swing, crossing his legs.
"In the past two days, there have been many fewer candidates entering the town with us, and the whole city has been eerily quiet."
"That means...they have all been eliminated, right?"
Thangka thought for a while and said, "In the 'ultimate test', the elimination rate is already very high!"
"That's the problem."
Chu Zhiyun said thoughtfully, "If the elimination rate of the final test has always been so high, and only one out of a hundred can become a 'purifier', why are there so many people in the purification force?"
"this……" Tangka blinked, "It seems so.
This is a big problem."
"Of course, if you think about it, the total number of candidates participating in the 'Ultimate Test' this time is just over a thousand.
If more than half of them are eliminated, at most one or two hundred people will be left to become 'Purifiers'.
But there are at least two to three thousand purification troops stationed near us. " Chu Zhiyun opened his slender onion-like fingers and calculated for Thangka, "Moreover, this is only a small part of the purification force.
It's impossible for all the purifiers to come and watch us 'rookies', right?
Most of the purifiers are responsible for purifying the entire Black Fortress.
How many should they have?
"If the purification force is only supplemented by us 'sons of the Holy Light', the number of people will not be enough at all!"
Chu Zhiyun is now becoming more and more proficient in pretending to be an Imperial person, and he can even speak the Imperial vocabulary "rookie" smoothly.
"It seems like this..."
Thangka thought of Li Yao's words again and smiled sadly and a little embarrassed, "Probably, there are other 'Children of Holy Light' existing, but we don't know about it."
"Yeah?"
Chu Zhiyun tapped the tip of his nose lightly and murmured, "Anyway, I just feel weird, everything is weird - I don't like the life we live in now, and I don't like the world we grew up in.
"In this kind of life, all the worlds we grew up in are nothing more than small starships.
All the 'facts' we accept are illusory lights and shadows.
We receive orders from our mentors and deans through portable crystal computers. , the mentor and dean received orders from the captain.
The captain also received orders from the Supreme Master on another starship deep in the star sea through the starship's main control crystal.
"But no one has ever explained to us the meaning of these orders, and no one has told us how to achieve the mission of 'awakening the gods' step by step.
We just followed the inexplicable orders from an incomprehensible place - this Can it be considered true devotion to the gods?
"Let's just say the last ten or twenty years, that is, since we were born.
"From the moment we are born, there is a voice called the Supreme Master who tells us the will of the gods and tells us that we should unconditionally worship and obey the gods.
The only meaning of our lives is to awaken the gods, and under the care of the gods Next, we will surely become the sharpest sword in the sea of stars, invincible and invincible.
Those monsters and monsters entangled by the demons are no match for us at all!
"But is this really the case?
You and I both know that, absolutely not.
Before we were born, the demonic kingdom on earth - the true human empire - invaded our 'land favored by the gods' in a large scale.
In just twenty years, they were He took away nearly a hundred worlds, a whole hundred worlds!
“If we were really favored by the gods, how could we suffer such a setback?
"And those people above, in order to prevent the true human empire from advancing, even destroyed all the facilities in dozens of worlds and hundreds of resource planets, and created a 'scorched earth defense line'!

"Isn't this kind of behavior even more excessive than that of the Imperial people?
"These vast worlds that took us hundreds of years and countless generations of hard work to build, these fertile and prosperous lands, are our best gifts to the gods.
They should belong to the gods, and we What qualifications do you have to burn them to the ground?
"Since our birth, the Holy Alliance's fleet seems to have been retreating, retreating, and retreating.
We have been transferred from one starship to another, but the space is getting smaller and smaller, and the resources are getting scarcer. , I heard that there are more and more "polluters" within the Holy Alliance.
It was not until today that we launched a small counterattack and reoccupied the Thick Earth Realm and the Black Fort Star.
"But you have also seen the tragic situation of this planet with your own eyes. 99% of the area has become a desolate, barren, no-man's land full of pollution and radiation.
This is not the work of the imperial people who were invaded by the demons, but precisely What did we do all this for?"
"You're thinking too much."
Naturally, Thangka could not answer these questions and could only say dryly, "It concerns the strategy of the entire star sea.
The Supreme Master has his own opinions.
It is not our turn to worry about the future."
"I don't believe it.
I can't believe it more and more.
I can't believe the Supreme Master - these guys who have never seen him, only heard his voice."
Chu Zhiyun said the rebellious words in an understatement, and suddenly jumped off the swing, "I suddenly feel that you are right.
The Supreme Master may not want me to point out their mistakes.
They may be... angry with shame."
"That--" Thangka thought for a while, "What are you going to do?"
"I have no idea."
The seemingly mature girl showed confusion for the first time on her face and murmured, "If the mission given to me by the gods is to point out the mistakes of the Supreme Master, then I must complete the mission no matter what.
I cannot be sent away.
It is absolutely not okay to go to the temple to cleanse all your thoughts and memories.”
She paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
Thangka was also secretly worried about the squad leader, and even more desperate.
Just when the boy and girl were confused, something unexpected happened.
With a "clang" sound, a row of shelves in the distance suddenly fell to the ground, and a dazzling array of goods rolled around on the ground.
The sound was no less than thunderous.
Of course, the shelf will not tip over for no reason unless someone accidentally touches it.
And the thangka had clearly locked the only door tightly, so no one could sneak in unnoticed.
In such a large supermarket, they should be the only two.
"who!"
Tangka and Chu Zhiyun looked at each other, and they quickly picked up their daggers and arrow blasters and fired them in the direction of the overturned shelf.
The hairs on both of their backs stood up.
They both knew the consequences of being seen like this - this was not necessary for "identifying dangerous goods".
The shelves in front of them were overturned row after row, and a dark figure ran very fast, gradually escaping into the corner of the supermarket.
This is not a shopping area, but a refrigerated area where staff use it to load and unload goods.
Because during the fierce battle between the two sides, part of the energy supply in the supermarket was cut off.
The frost in the cold storage gradually melted in the next few days, and the frozen food inside gradually spoiled.
Sewage flowed across the street and the stench filled the sky.
Thangka and Chuzhiyun were both I didn't want to come here, so I did a hasty search at first and didn't thoroughly check every corner of the cold storage.
It wasn't until this moment that they discovered that there was someone hiding in the cold storage!
"come out!"
Tangka shouted sharply, pointed the arrow blaster at the cold storage door, moved slightly to the side, and pulled the trigger.
"Boom!"

Even though he adjusted the output power to the minimum, the wall next to the cold storage door was still blasted with a deep crater.
The door frame was severely deformed and could not be closed.
The man originally wanted to close the door hard, but no matter how hard he tried, the door always creaked.
Her figure was big and fat, and cans and bottles of pure water kept falling from her clothes.
"Don't move, or I'll beat you to death!"
Thangka tried his best to look as fierce as possible.
"Don't, don't shoot, there are children inside, there are children!"
The man let out a high-pitched, desperate cry, and reluctantly pushed open the cold storage door.
Tangka and Chu Zhiyun simultaneously shined the light of their portable computers on the person.
The pale light reflected the face of an unkempt middle-aged woman.
All the flesh on her face was drooped, and her whole body was dripping with sweat, as if just now.
Like fished out of the swamp.
"Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!"
Deep in the cold storage behind her, a baby cried!
Thangka and Chu Zhiyun were startled at the same time and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Don't kill us, please.
We are not soldiers.
There are no soldiers here.
It's just me and my daughter.
Let us go, or arrest me and save my daughter!"
This frightened and ugly middle-aged woman suddenly knelt down in front of Thangka and Chu Zhiyun!
---------- I have some very sad news for you all.
Lao Niu is hospitalized.
Infectious arthritis, my ankle was swollen as big as a basketball, the pain was so painful that I couldn't walk without crutches.
When I went to the hospital, the doctor said that if I didn't treat it, it might turn into sepsis, so I needed to do it immediately.
Hospitalized.
Fortunately, it’s the ankle and not the wrist.
This was coded on the hospital bed.
There may be slightly less updates in the next few days.
After all, it’s impossible to code when the hanging needle is hanging.
Anyway, I’ll take my time and try to get two chapters a day.
Please also give me a lot of understanding and support, and I will provide you with more after I am discharged from the hospital!
