The Essence of the Corner
Perhaps because the sisterhood's influence in the corner was growing, the Grandmother was able to apply for two "Corner Wanted Order" at once.
Listening to his Grandmother's conversation with Hua Yuan, Luo Di was able to extract three key words.
[High difficulty], [Some core members have taken this challenge and ultimately failed and died], [It's possible for multiple members to advance together].
Moreover, Luo Di could clearly sense that the squad leader in front of him was somewhat nervous. This sudden situation might have exceeded the squad leader's expectations... Of course, it could also be a pretense.
At this time,
Grandmother opened the envelope in front of everyone and took out the two Wanted Poster inside.
The first thing shown is a pure Wanted Poster.
The front depicts a man sitting with his back to a chair.
The lines depicted are particularly meaningful, as if the man and the chair are completely glued together, or as if the chair is the man's leg structure.
1. —Yosah—
[Affected Area]: Small*
*The area of operation has been determined. Once the Wanted Poster is received, the recipient will receive the specific address information in their Mind Corner.
Human death toll: 50+
[Number of Pseudo-Human deaths]: 10+
[Arrival Ratio]: 15%
[Cause of Disaster]: Seats*
*The recipient will receive a detailed explanation of the whispered secrets, instructing them to minimize the impact of the calamity on them.
[Processing Requirements]:
① Once accepted, it cannot be abandoned.
②. A maximum of three Mature Imposter are allowed to act together.
③. Completely kill the incarnation of Yosah.
The rewards for completing the Wanted Poster are as follows:
①. Intermediate-level Corner Identity.
②. Upon entering the corner, you can choose which area you want to go to.
"This Wanted Poster is relatively simple. It is easy to find out that the person is active in a fixed area. The 'hazard' that spreads fear is also a very tangible thing. If you avoid it in advance, you will not get infected."
If you can work together to kill this monster's avatar, you will obtain an intermediate status and can directly choose to go to the [area] where the Sisterhood is located.
The next Wanted Poster is rather interesting.
Grandmother then took out a second Wanted Poster. Unlike the first one, which was white, this one had a light blue background.
There is no depiction of the monster's appearance, only a large [?] drawn on the front.
--unknown--
Scope of impact: Wide*
*It is estimated that at least 3,000 humans and twenty Pseudo-Human have been affected. The main area of impact has been identified; specific address information will be received in your Mind Corner Wanted Poster.

2. Up to four Mature Imposter can work together.
3. Locate and eradicate the monster avatar.
The rewards for completing the Wanted Poster are as follows:
1. High-level Corner Identity.
2. Upon entering the corner, you can choose which area you want to go to.
3. Several Corner Coin.
The light blue Wanted Poster left the women present looking at each other in bewilderment.
Even Hua Yuan had never seen a Wanted Poster filled with so much unknown information.
The unknown corresponds to danger, but this danger has an "upper limit".
Any monster that descends upon the Human World
No matter how powerful his true form is, no matter how deep into the corners of the world he can operate in, the number of avatars that descend upon this place cannot exceed a certain limit.
To be precise, it is an inherent limitation.
Just like the Grandmother, the incarnation that descends only corresponds to a certain age group, and its ability is also limited to one of those ages. Its strength is not so great that it cannot be killed.
As long as this constraint exists, there is a possibility of killing it. Otherwise, if the Monster Main Body were to descend upon the human world, this land would have long been uninhabitable for humans.
Although Grandmother would Incarnation Descent every year to establish the Surface Sisterhood in the Human World to recruit talent.
She has always "obeyed the law," conducting all gatherings in secrecy, never actively interfering with human karma, never killing anyone, and never inducing any change in humanity.
The sorority simply brings together promising individuals to provide guidance and assistance.
These wanted individuals are either wreaking havoc on humanity or secretly invading and altering human nature.
The corner is absolutely forbidden from allowing monsters to interfere excessively with the Human World; the "natural development" of the Human World must be guaranteed.
Luo Di was filled with questions upon seeing this, but he suppressed his curiosity and remained silent, after all, this morning banquet was not for him.
Hua Yuan, representing the sisters, spoke again, "Advanced Status... such a direct reward! I don't think any of the sisters have ever received a ' Advanced Status ' before, have they?"
The Grandmother replied, "That's right. Even if we conduct Crevice screening involving twenty people, the final reward is only a mid-level status."
The fact that they were given Advanced Status shows that the Corner takes this matter very seriously. The wanted person has already caused a very serious impact on humanity and needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible.
I put in a lot of effort to showcase your excellent qualities to the Corner Consciousness before I received this Wanted Poster.
My personal advice is that you seize this opportunity. After all, no matter how powerful a monster is, its manifestation here will always be limited to those that can be killed.
Of course, due to the unknown nature of the calamity and the unpredictable spread of fear, the risks are considerably higher.
"OK."
Hua Yuan seemed to have made a decision, but her Grandmother did not make arrangements immediately. Instead, she turned her attention to "outsiders" who were not her sisters.
"Mr. Di, what are your thoughts? According to the rules, once Isabella chooses one of them, you will also need to accompany her to handle matters related to the Wanted Poster."
As a human being, you must have many questions, right?
Since his Grandmother had given him the conditions for asking the question, Luo Di seized the opportunity to ask it:
"Since the corner doesn't allow the monsters inside to interfere excessively with the Human World, can't we just send them a mental warning or punish them directly?"
"The essence of ' Corner Wanted Order ' is a screening mode that is superior to 'Seamless,' aiming to select more outstanding Pseudo-Human to go to the corner, while erasing the negative impact of monster incarnations on the Human World."
This is a win-win situation.
For example, Pseudo-Human like Hua Yuan, due to her innate talent, lives too comfortably in her Pseudo-Human stage, almost never facing any threats to her life, and never experiencing the taste of fear.
Even the most basic "Crevice screening" is likely just a formality for her to pass.
However, if this comfort accumulates too much, it will actually stifle her talent. She might even filter out some newcomers whose talents have not yet been fully expressed during the Crevice screening, thus wasting talent.
The advanced screening features introduced in "Corner Wanted Order" are essential.
The Pseudo-Human that travels to the rift in this way will be prepared to face fear and monsters in advance.
They tend to have a higher survival rate and a longer future. After all, selection and promotion are just a ticket to a corner.
The most crucial thing is to survive in the shadows and retain one's self-awareness.
Even some corners that have become monsters still fear corners.
They descended back to the human world simply to have more contact with the Human Society they once lived in, in order to maintain their sanity and avoid getting completely lost in some corner of the world.
As for the specifics of the corner, I still suggest Mr. Di come and experience it for yourself.
Luo Di nodded. "I think I understand... But there's still one more question: won't the frequent activity of these monster avatars attract investigators?"
Yes and no.
These monsters are all Pseudo-Human have successfully disguised themselves and gone to the corners; they are very good at avoiding human sight.
However, some individuals may become too arrogant and be hunted down by elite humans, who may even imprison or contain them.
Those who are more cautious are harder to detect, or they choose to operate in non-urban areas, quietly infiltrating and influencing Human Society, just like the individual corresponding to this Blue Wanted Order.
"Imprisonment, containment..."
Luo Di also recalled some things from the past.
He first befriended the class monitor, encountered the tongue-twisting the Devil in the simulation practice, and the alien derivative used in the national college entrance examination.
The true beings behind them should be beings Transcendent Imposter, incarnations of some kind of monster descended to earth, housed in the capital, and perhaps even in some kind of cooperation with humans.
At this moment, Luo Di finally understood the true intention of the corner.
Whether it's the invasion of human thought by the corner, the restriction on the arrival of monsters, or the behavior of allowing humans to devour and absorb pituitary glands, etc.
All seemingly complex relationships can be integrated into a single line.
These are the words that my Grandmother frequently mentioned.
[filter]
Whether it's getting promoted through Crevice screening or through Wanted Poster, or going to the corner of the Pseudo-Human.
They are humans who grow by killing Pseudo-Human and absorbing pituitary glands, eventually venturing into the corner as "explorers".
Everything is the result of selection.
The Human World in which Luo Di lives is a vast [ranch].
This rather extreme selection process leads people to a corner, opening up a special Ascension Path.
