His expression gradually shifted from curiosity to surprise, followed by a long period of stunned silence, and finally he became somewhat bewildered.

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

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

She had mentored many newcomers before, and normally everyone would have a lot of questions they wanted answered, but she had never seen three people as silent as these.

At this moment, Shen Qian, who was flipping through "Guide to Forbidden Zones," seemed rather nonchalant.

She could roughly guess that Shen Qian probably already knew some things, but she couldn't understand the reactions of the other three.

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

“Before I slumber, I remembered everything. What happened in Toothless Valley that day… Those people all sacrificed themselves for us…”

"No wonder I couldn't remember how Lao Peng disappeared. Now I understand."

Ouyang Fei murmured as well.

Although most of the dead in that incident were military personnel, some students were also injured or killed, including some of their acquaintances.

"That must be a 'door,' but can a 'door' really affect memories? Why don't we remember it before?"

Chen Peng said blankly.

Shen Qian was somewhat surprised that the three of them had actually remembered this again?

From this perspective, the so-called "memory erasure" is not actually erasure, but rather more like fading or hiding that memory. When a memory point reappears, the lost memory can still be revived.

However, it cannot be completely certain before the incident, as the impact may have been weakened due to the large number of people involved.

"Have your memories been erased?"

While Shen Qian was pondering, Yuan You sensed something amiss and spoke up in surprise.

She hadn't expected that the group had already been through the "gate" incident.

"Can memories be erased?" Ouyang Fei asked the same question he had before.

“Experts specializing in spiritual power have this ability.”

Yuan You nodded. "Of course, memories are hard to completely erase, especially the deepest impressions, which is why you've remembered them again now."

The group suddenly realized something, but then Yuan You seemed to remember something. She turned to look at Shen Qian and said with a meaningful smile, "Junior Brother Shen Qian, I'm very curious, why do you still have your memories?"

Before Shen Qian could speak, Ouyang Fei had already prepared an explanation for him.

"Perhaps it's because he was actually the main character in that incident, so his memory is naturally different from ours..."

Ouyang Fei suddenly stopped halfway through his reflection.

As he tried to recall the details, more and more images began to appear in his mind.

He suddenly remembered the "inhuman" behavior he had exhibited before the sinking.

A novice martial artist traversed the battlefield, slaying zombies as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and...

"Before you sink, you will be able to fly..."

Chen Peng realized something and was horrified, but before he could finish speaking, Gu Zifang kicked him hard.

Chen Peng realized his mistake in time and knew that he shouldn't spread such things around, so he quickly shut up.

However, the three of them looked at Chen Qian with complicated expressions.

"fly?"

Yuan You was somewhat puzzled, but had no idea what Chen Peng was talking about.

She wasn't even sure which "word" Chen Peng was referring to.

Her intense gossip... oops, it was her thirst for knowledge that made her itchy, but seeing that Shen Qian was as mysterious as yesterday, with no intention of explaining at all, she felt somewhat helpless.

However, it seems... this junior has far more secrets than his titles!

Yuan You stared at Shen Qian, who was eating noodles with gusto, her eyes glistening with a hint of something else.

"Ouch, why are you pinching me?"

Chen Peng turned to look at Gu Zifang in astonishment.

"Eat faster!"

Gu Zifang coldly snorted without expression.

Ouyang Fei chuckled slightly, but wisely refrained from speaking.

"Everyone's here?"

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

"Come, let me introduce you all. Besides Vice Captain Du Qiu, whom you all met yesterday, this is Yang Ni, who is also the vice captain of the Dark Star Squad. She is a senior intermediate hunter and a junior healer."

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

Hello.

Yang Ni smiled slightly and greeted the group.

She had delicate features and, while not as dazzling as Yuan You, she possessed a certain dashing charm.

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

Besides He Weichen, Du Qiu, and Yuan You, the Dark Star Squad also brought eight other people this time.

For the Dark Star Squad, which has fewer than twenty members, this is practically all of their elite forces.

Excluding the four newbies like Shen Qian, the Dark Star Squad has eleven members present, five of whom are high-level martial artists. The strongest is He Weichen, who has about the strength of a sixth-level high-level martial artist.

The weakest of the five intermediate martial artists was a girl at the fourth level of intermediate martial arts.

Yuan You is only a beginner martial artist at the eighth level, but she is the only professional in the team with a high-level title, which makes her very special. Judging from what Shen Qian observed, even He Weichen treats her very politely.

The team consists of fifteen people, thirteen of whom have hunter badges. The team also includes healers, scouts, singers, array masters, alchemists, and scholars, among others. Apart from the less common beast tamers and alchemists, the team is quite complete.

In terms of both configuration and strength, this team is already top-notch in the Jingcheng area.
