Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

The Escaped Children Back Then
"You know about them, don't you?"
Shiro didn't answer. His dark iris stared back at Kanae without any intention to reply. He could sense the deep seated anger within her voice that she seemed to hide with her expression.
"Kanae…"
"You must have already gotten the access to the database, right?" Kanae pointed to the laptop behind him. "You have to enter the result of the test, so you should have known that there are missing children from a long time ago. And their test results… are not exactly normal."
Shiro knew that. He had looked at them when he browsed the database because they instructed him to pay close attention to some specific characteristics that he might find in the students. Even though he couldn't access the deepest database, it was already a lot.
Among them, he certainly found the report of the missing children that the government was unable to take back anymore.
