Chapter 168 Disappearing
"Shen Qian, I think that Senior Sister Yuanyou seems to be very interested in you. To be honest, are you tempted?"

A few people left the Martial Arts Association, Gu Zifang put his arm around Shen Qian's shoulder and said with a laugh.

Ouyang Fei and Chen Peng also looked over, but Ouyang Fei had a smile on his face, while Chen Peng's expression was a bit complicated.

When the few people left just now, Yuan You talked with Shen Qian alone for a long time, because they were far away, they didn't know what the two of them said, but Yuan You smiled sweetly, but she was very close to Shen Qian. It cannot be concealed.

"Ok?"

Shen Qian recovered from his contemplation, was startled for a moment, then shook his head, "It's really very temperamental, but it's not tempting."

"Who will believe you, you boys are all the same, you just like... big ones, if you have fair skin, beautiful legs and long legs, then it's perfect!"

Gu Zifang rolled her eyes, bumped into Shen Qian angrily, then smiled and waved to them, "Then I'll go first, don't be late tomorrow!"

Gu Zifang left happily.

Shen Qian felt a little helpless when he thought of Yuan You.

It was really the first time for him to see how difficult it would be for a girl who was extremely curious and had a high IQ.

Ding Yi is actually very smart, but she doesn't like to care about things that have nothing to do with her.

But when he came back, he walked in a different direction, and Yuan You noticed some clues.

Of course, it is estimated that Yuan You would not have thought that the reward offered by the night was accepted by Shen Qian.

So Shen Qian dealt with it casually, and Yuan You didn't get too entangled when he couldn't find the motive.

"Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

If we really want to go deep into the restricted area, there are still some preparations to be made, because the direction where several people live is not in the right direction, so Shen Qian greeted Ouyang Fei and walked towards the parking lot.

Ouyang Fei waved goodbye to Shen Qian, and after Shen Qian's figure disappeared, he turned around and saw that Chen Peng was still in a daze, so he couldn't help touching his shoulder in a funny way.

"Isn't it true that you really regard Shen Qian as a rival in love?"

"What are you talking about, what rival in love..."

Chen Peng came to his senses and hurriedly denied it.

"Come on, I still can't see your little thoughtfulness, but it's normal, Senior Sister Yuanyou is indeed very attractive." Ouyang Fei laughed.

"What about you, are you excited?" Chen Peng stared at Ouyang Fei and asked.

"Me?" Ouyang Fei shook his head after staring in a certain direction, "I only want to pursue martial arts now, don't you think it's more interesting to be as dazzling as Shen Qian and to be admired by countless people than to fall in love? "

Chen Peng was thoughtful, and then sighed, "Indeed, if you can be like him, you don't have to worry about these things."

……

The next morning, in a tea restaurant near the east gate of Jingcheng.

Shen Qian arrived here early with a backpack.

In fact, most of the things he wanted to bring had already been placed in the space spar, but in order to deceive others, Shen Qian still brought a bag.

There's always something wrong with being low-key.

Even the ring on his hand has been re-decorated by Shen Qian, and it looks like a slightly exaggerated ordinary gemstone ring.

"Shen Qian, so early?"

As soon as he stepped into the tea restaurant, a slightly lazy mature voice rang in Shen Qian's ears.

Shen Qian turned his head to look, Yuan You was sitting at a table by the window smiling and waving at him.

Today's Yuan You has a neat high ponytail, and the black tactical uniform is a little shiny in the sun. The tight attire makes the two advantages even more exaggerated.

The contrast between the intellectual temperament brought by a pair of rimless glasses and the sexy figure further highlights the charm.

Shen Qian was also in a daze for a moment, and then quickly discarded distracting thoughts and walked over, saying hello, "Sister Yuan is so early?"

"I don't sleep very well until I leave the city." Yuan You said with a smile, "Every time we meet up, we always come to this Zhang Ji. His small pot rice noodles and stewed noodles are excellent. Do you want to try it?"

"I just didn't have breakfast."

Shen Qian nodded and beckoned to the waiter, "Ten bowls of rice noodles and braised noodles in a small pot."

"I almost forgot that you are a real Chinese martial artist." Yuan You covered his mouth with a smile, "But you seem to be able to eat better than He Weichen and the others."

"So I don't like eating out so much now."

Shen Qian also laughed.

Money is a trivial matter, mainly a waste of time.

Shen Qian now usually solves it with the satiety pill, and occasionally eats a meal of high-calorie food.

The two chatted casually, and soon, Ouyang Fei, Gu Zifang and Chen Peng all arrived one after another.

"Before they come, I have something to tell you first." Yuan You looked at the four of them, and suddenly became a little more serious.

"Sister Yuan, please tell me." Ouyang Fei and the others also became serious.

"The restricted area...is a very special place, and there are some secrets hidden in it."

Yuan You took out a manual from his backpack, and handed it to the four of them, "These secrets are not revealed to ordinary people. Normally, only social warriors who have been admitted to the University of Martial Arts or have been promoted to middle-level warriors have the secrets." eligibility for contact."

Shen Qian probably knew what Yuan You was going to say, most likely it was about the "door".

He glanced at the manual on the desktop. The words "Guide to the Restricted Area" were written on the cover, and there was an encrypted label beside it.

"However, joining the slashing team is equivalent to obtaining this qualification. Read the manual in turn before returning it to me. If you have any questions, hold back and ask me later."

Ouyang Fei and the other three showed puzzled expressions and glanced at each other. Ouyang Fei first picked up the manual and began to read it.

His expression gradually changed from curiosity to surprise, followed by a long period of stupefaction, and finally he became a little bewildered.

Gu Zifang and Chen Peng were similar, both fell into a long silence after reading the manual.

Now it was Yuan You's turn to be puzzled.

She had brought many newcomers before, and normally everyone would have a lot of questions to answer, but she had never seen the three of them so silent.

At this moment, Shen Qian, who was flipping through the "Guide to the Restricted Zone", was even more careless.

She could probably guess that Shen Qian might have known something before, but she couldn't understand the reactions of the other three.

At this time, Gu Zifang turned her head in a daze, and there were tears in her eyes.

"Shen Qian, I've already remembered what happened in Buya Valley that day... Those people all sacrificed for us..."

"I said why I just can't remember how Lao Peng disappeared, that's why."

Ouyang Fei also murmured.

Although most of the casualties in that incident were military practitioners, there were also some student casualties, including people they knew well.

"That's a 'door', but does the 'door' still affect memory? Why didn't we remember it before?"

Chen Peng said blankly.

Shen Qian was a little surprised that the three of them remembered again?

From this point of view, the so-called "erasing memory" is not actually erasing, but more like diluting or hiding that memory. When there is another memory point, the lost memory can still be recovered.

However, Shen Qian can't be completely sure, it may also be because the incident involved a large group of people, and the effect may have been weakened.

"Have you ever had your memories erased?"

When Shen Qian was thinking, Yuan You heard something, and said in surprise.

She did not expect that several people had already experienced the "door" incident.

"Can memories be erased?" Ouyang Fei asked Shen Qian's original question.

"The mountain and sea experts who specialize in spiritual power have this ability."

Yuan You nodded, "Of course, it is very difficult to completely erase memories, especially the more profound things are, that's why you are now recalling them again."

A few people were stunned, but Yuan You thought of something at this time, turned to look at Shen Qian, and said with a meaningful smile, "Student Shen Qian, I'm curious, why do you still have your memory?"

Before Shen Qian could speak, Ouyang Fei thought of an explanation for Shen Qian.

"Probably because he was actually the main character in that incident. Naturally, his memory level is different from ours. He..."

Ouyang Fei paused halfway with emotion.

As he recalled the details, more and more images began to pop up in his mind.

He just suddenly remembered Shen Qian's "inhuman" performance at that time.

A novice warrior crosses the battlefield, killing zombies like melons and vegetables, and...

"Shen Qian, you can fly..."

Chen Peng also thought of something, and lost his voice in shock, but just as he spoke, he was kicked hard by Gu Zifang next to him.

Chen Peng woke up in time, and knew that this kind of thing should not go around talking nonsense, so he quickly shut up.

It's just that the eyes of the three of them looking at Shen Qian became complicated again.

"fly?"

Yuan You was a little puzzled, but she had no idea what Chen Peng was talking about.

She wasn't even sure which "word" Chen Peng said.

Intense gossip... Bah, it was her desire for knowledge that made her feel itchy, but seeing Shen Qian acting mysteriously like yesterday, with no intention of explaining it at all, she felt a little helpless.

But it seems... this junior has more secrets than his title!

Yuan You stared at Shen Qian who was chomping on the noodles, his eyes were bright.

"Hiss, why are you pinching me?"

Chen Peng turned to look at Gu Zifang in astonishment.

"Let you eat faster!"

Gu Zifang snorted expressionlessly.

Ouyang Fei next to him laughed a little, but he didn't open his mouth knowingly.

"Are they all here?"

At this time, as the restaurant door was pushed open, He Weichen and others walked in, breaking the delicate atmosphere at the table.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, besides the vice-captain Du Qiu that everyone met yesterday, this one is Yang Ni, who is also the vice-captain of the Dark Star team, a senior mid-level hunter, and also a junior physician."

He Weichen pointed to a long-haired girl behind him and said to Shen Qian and the others.

"Hello."

Yang Ni smiled slightly and greeted several people.

She has a delicate face, and her temperament is not as dazzling as Yuan You's, but she also has a sassy taste.

Next, He Weichen introduced the other team members to Shen Qian and others one by one.

In addition to He Weichen, Du Qiu and Yuan You, the Dark Star Squad also had eight people this time.

For the Dark Star team, which has a total number of less than twenty, it can be considered that almost all the elite forces are here.

Not counting Shen Qian and the other four buddies, among the eleven members of the Dark Star Squad present, there were five high-level warriors, and the strongest one was He Weichen, who had the strength of a sixth-level high-level warrior.

Of the five medium warriors, the weakest is a girl who is at the fourth rank of medium warriors.

Yuan You is only a novice martial artist, but she is the only professional in the team with a senior professional title. Her status is very special. Judging from Shen Qian's observations, even He Weichen is very polite to her.

There are a total of fifteen people in the team, thirteen of which have hunter badges, followed by doctors, scouts, singers, warriors, alchemists and scholars, etc., except for the relatively unpopular beast masters and alchemists, they are already complete. .

No matter in terms of configuration or strength, this team is already top-notch in the Jingcheng area.

"Five high-level fighters... so strong!"

Chen Peng was a little excited.

Obviously, the stronger the team, the more likely they will gain from this trip.

"You can't just look at the surface. All the elite forces of the Dark Star team have been dispatched. Does it also mean that this mission will be difficult?"

Shen Qian shook his head.

Several people were startled, but after thinking about it carefully, it really made some sense.

"Then let's follow the usual practice, hold a simple meeting, and then set off."

He Weichen asked the waiter to clean up the dining table, and then spread out a map on the table.

Shen Qian was immediately attracted by the map.

Because this map turned out to be dynamic.

Jingcheng is only marked with a simple city symbol, but the area around Jingcheng is very interesting.

For example, it is raining heavily in the south of the city at the moment, and there is actually a swirling dark cloud on the map. If you get closer, you can even vaguely hear lightning and thunder.

And like the north of the city, in addition to the swaying forest, there are also some shadows of monsters flickering.

"The shadow represents that there is that kind of monster in this area. The more solid the shadow, the higher the possibility of haunting."

Yuan You was surprised to see several people, and explained with a smile.

"Is this map updated in real time?" Shen Qian asked.

"That's right, this is a real-time dynamic map officially issued by the Martial Arts Association. It is connected to the world. Don't underestimate such a map. The manpower and material resources behind it are unimaginable. This is one of the reasons why you must register for the Slash Team."

Yuan You said with a smile, "Only the slashing team is eligible to apply for this kind of map, but it's also very expensive. There's a monthly usage fee of [-] yuan, and a deposit of millions of dollars!"

Yuan You's eloquent science popularization made some members of the Dark Star team show an expression of impatience, but seeing He Weichen didn't say anything, they held back.

He Weichen waited for Yuan You to finish his explanation, and then took over the conversation.

"This time we have received a total of eleven reward tasks. My expected goal is to complete more than eight of them."

He Weichen's words made everyone a little excited and dignified. Obviously, within the team, it is very rare to accept so many reward tasks at once.

"This time the situation is quite special, not only because there are newcomers, but also because... there are two Twilight Rewards!"

He Weichen glanced at everyone one by one, "Although it is recommended that a team with high-level fighters can try the dusk mission, we all know the difficulty, and sometimes there is a possibility of information error, so..."

He Weichen's eyes became sharper, focusing on Shen Qian and the others.

"I hope that everyone can absolutely obey the command. I don't need any of you to have any ideas of your own. At the same time, keep your spirits up. I don't want anyone to be missing when I come back!"

"Do you hear clearly?"

"clear!"

Everyone answered with serious faces.

"In addition, regarding the spoils of war, it is still an old rule. Yuan You is responsible for recording all expenses and income. In the end, she will distribute the income according to the degree of contribution. Is there any objection?"

Everyone shook their heads.

This is one of the responsibilities of a scholar. At the same time, she will also record the results and knowledge in detail, and only what she records will be recognized by the Martial Arts Association. This is the importance of the existence of a scholar.

Afterwards, He Weichen simply marked the traveling route on the map, mainly in the east of the city.

Shen Qian took a closer look and found that some areas on the map were still foggy, which should be some special areas that cannot be observed.

But overall, this map is still very convenient.

At critical moments, all slash-and-plow teams can post information on the map in real time. If there is a nearby slash-plow team, there is more possibility of being assisted.

"Since everything is fine, let's have breakfast. We will leave in half an hour. This trip is expected to take about three days. You need to tell your family in advance, so hurry up now."

After He Weichen finished speaking, he waved his hand and ended the meeting.

"I suddenly remembered that I left something behind. I'll go back and I'll turn back in 10 minutes."

When everyone buried their heads in eating, Shen Qian suddenly stood up and said.

"Hurry up." Du Qiu frowned.

Shen Qian nodded and left quickly.

"Such carelessness can be admitted to the double subject?" Someone murmured.

"You can't keep your mouth shut even when you eat?" Yuan You raised his long and narrow eyebrows.

The man didn't speak again after all, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was still a little weird.

Seeing this, Yuan You could only shake his head helplessly, and couldn't continue to say anything.

Everyone must be curious about Shen Qian, the national martial arts champion, but apart from curiosity, it is hard to say what the rest of the perception will be.

Jealousy, dissatisfaction, disapproval... may all appear.

But this is also normal, people's hearts are complicated, and it is impossible to expect everyone to be normal to Shen Qian.

He Weichen also frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Ten minutes later, Shen Qian turned back, and He Weichen saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he asked Yuan You to pay the bill.

All the food and drinks for this trip will be managed in a unified manner, and they will be used as cost deductions in the final calculation. This is also the team's rule. After Shen Qian knew about it, he didn't rush to give the money.

Fifteen people ate a breakfast for nearly 2000 yuan.

It can be seen how much a warrior can spend money.

"Finally, make sure that all medicines, weapons, food and water have been brought!"

When he came to the door, Shen Qian was surprised to find that in addition to a modified armored transport vehicle, there were three middle-aged strong men helping to carry supplies.

They are not warriors, but they all have strong strength. It seems that they are mainly responsible for the logistics.

After everyone got into the car, Du Qiu drove, the engine of the armored car roared, and it sped along the street toward the east of the city.

……

Entering the restricted area again, Shen Qian stared at the wind and sand passing by the car window in a daze.

The vehicle had been driving for two hours, and it was far away from Jingcheng. From time to time, small piles of snow appeared on the side of the road. Looking at the snow, Shen Qian was reminded of certain memories.

"I don't think he'll blame you."

Gu Zifang leaned over and said softly.

Shen Qian was startled, and then glanced at Gu Zifang in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zifang touched her face subconsciously.

"It was the first time I found out that you were quite careful, and you guessed it all." Shen Qian said truthfully.

"You're going to die, I'm a girl, isn't it normal to be more careful?" Gu Zifang snorted, and pinched Shen Qian without pain.

Shen Qian vaguely felt that Gu Zifang's behavior in the past two days was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He was about to speak when the armored vehicle suddenly started to slow down, and then slowly stopped.

"Everyone, get out of the car!"

He Weichen closed the mask, opened the car door and jumped out first.

"arrive?"

Shen Qian and Gu Zifang looked at each other, put on their masks, and got out of the car one after another.

The wind and sand were long, and Shen Qian looked around.

The terrain here is quite strange, there is a swamp in the front left, and a dark forest in the front right, but there are scattered patches of grass on the edge.

"Three Heads Town... is here, there is a dawn bounty and a daylight bounty here."

Because of the wind and sand, everyone was equipped with headsets, and He Weichen's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Du Qiu, show the mission scroll to a few newcomers, and give them a reward at dawn to complete."

The amount of Liming's rewards is relatively small, generally ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. Their Dark Star team has rarely accepted Liming's rewards, and this time they specially accepted two, which were originally used to train newcomers.

"Come on, Ouyang Fei, you all come here!"

Du Qiu turned around, clapped his hands, and shouted.

Ouyang Fei, Gu Zifang and Chen Peng all gathered there.

"What about Shen Qian?"

Seeing that one person was missing, Du Qiu asked with a frown.

Ouyang Fei and the others were all taken aback, Gu Zifang turned his head strangely and said, "Hey, he was still talking to me just now, Shen Qian!"

Several people tried to shout a few words through the headset, but no one responded.

At this time, He Weichen and others also noticed the abnormality, and they all came over.

"what happened?"

"I don't know where Shen Qian went..."

"Can you still be missing just after getting out of the car?" He Weichen also frowned, and shouted into the headset, "Everyone, gather in front of the car immediately!"

In less than a minute, everyone gathered in front of the car.

After counting, Shen Qian... was really not there.

He Weichen turned his head to look, and there was a vast expanse in the wind and sand, but the visibility was not too bad. It could be seen that it was nearly a hundred meters away, but there was no sign of Shen Qian at all.

"Yang Ni, you were the one who led people to guard the surrounding area just now, did you see anyone running out?"

He Weichen even leaned under the car to have a look, and after making sure that Shen Qian was not joking, he raised his head and asked.

"There is nothing abnormal, and no one has left the distance of 30 meters around the vehicle. I am sure of that." Yang Ni shook her head.

"A big living person just disappeared in full view?"

He Weichen couldn't believe it, but it seemed to be true again.

 I had a fever yesterday and was confused, sorry.
