Chapter 1060 Erasure
"Shut up, everyone!"
Cheng Kun suddenly shouted, silencing the entire conference hall.
He surveyed the entire hall with a somber expression.
"This secret realm is different from the past; it's extremely dangerous inside!"
"Minister Cheng, aren't secret realms usually extremely dangerous?"
Someone asked timidly.
"The dangers here are beyond your imagination!"
Cheng Kun glared at the man and said coldly,
“We previously sent a seven-member investigation team into the secret realm to explore.”
"But only one person survived!"
"The scariest thing is that, apart from the one who survived, we don't remember the existence of the other six people."
Everyone was stunned by these words.
"Minister Cheng, what does it mean that you don't remember the existence of the other six people?"
Peng Yu raised his hand and said cautiously,
"It means... these six people are as if they never existed in the world; all traces and memories of them have been completely erased!"
A chill ran through everyone, and fear appeared on their faces.
No wonder even the formidable Cheng Kun was so wary of him.
"The contents of today's meeting must not be divulged. Anyone who dares to divulge them will become Suzaku's greatest enemy!"
Cheng Kun swept his gaze across the crowd once more and said in a deep voice,
"I have already told you the general situation."
"Those who wish to explore this secret realm may stay."
"Those who don't want to go can leave now."
After he finished speaking, Luo Xiaotian and Wang Yan looked at Su Chen.
According to them, it's best not to participate in such a dangerous secret realm.
But Su Chen shook his head at them.
"I plan to stay; you guys go back first."
Su Chen's idea was very simple.
Since the secret realm located in Zishan is so dangerous, the rewards are naturally extremely generous.
It would be a real shame not to go.
Having a life-saving aura means that even if something goes wrong, one can escape unscathed.
But Luo Xiaotian and Wang Yan are different.
"No, Boss Su, let's go together!"
Luo Xiaotian shook his head and said firmly.
"Yes, we've been through thick and thin together, how could we abandon you?"
"That's right, let's go together."
Wang Yan, Ding Di, and others echoed this sentiment.
"This is an order. Go back."
Seeing Su Chen's resolute attitude, Luo Xiaotian and the others had no choice but to get up and leave the venue.
"Boss, you'd better come back safely, or all your women will be mine."
Before leaving, Xiang Mengmeng held Su Chen's hand and chuckled softly.
However, Su Chen could sense her worry for him from her joking words.
Seeing Luo Xiaotian and the others leave, Su Chen sat there perfectly fine.
Cheng Kun on the stage paused slightly, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Besides Luo Xiaotian and his group, several other leaders of survivor organizations also left with their subordinates.
After all, no matter how many treasures are in a secret realm, you still need to be alive to enjoy them.
After waiting a while and confirming that no one had left, Cheng Kun nodded slightly.
"Very good. Since you have chosen to stay, you have the right to know about the secret realm."
He paused, then nodded to someone not far from him.
"Du Qiulin, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone?"
Du Qiulin is not very old and has a handsome appearance.
His face was pale, and it was unclear whether it was due to malnutrition or what he had experienced recently.
Du Qiulin stood up, took the microphone, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"After receiving the mission that day, I entered the secret realm with six companions."
"When we came to our senses, we found ourselves in an abandoned town."
“We didn’t rush in, but searched each house one by one to make sure there was nothing unusual.”
At this point, Du Qiulin's face clearly turned frightened.
"A team member named A-Jie has suddenly disappeared!"
"Including myself, there are only six people left in the team!"
"That's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that when I talked to Captain Li Pei about it, he questioned me instead, asking, 'Who is A-Jie?'"
"Besides the captain, the other team members also don't remember A-Jie's existence..."
At the time, Du Qiulin thought that Li Pei and the others were joking with him.
But after he repeatedly confirmed, he found that the team members really did not remember A-Jie's existence.
Even more terrifying, Du Qiulin discovered that all traces of A-Jie's existence had completely vanished.
For example, his weapons, equipment, and even the water bottle he drank from have all disappeared.
This discovery terrified Du Qiulin!
If A-Jie were to die tragically, Du Qiulin could accept it.
But the fact that he was erased from existence and no longer existed in this world terrified Du Qiulin!
With Li Pei and others patiently comforting him, Du Qiulin's emotions finally stabilized.
After calming down, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter.
Most people believe that the training at Zhuque was too arduous, leading to excessive mental stress, which caused Du Qiulin to become like this.
However, team leader Li Pei didn't think so.
Just in case, he found paper and pen and wrote down the names of all six people present.
After making preparations, the group decided to continue their journey.
But at that moment, Du Qiulin was horrified to discover that another person was missing from the group!
He hurriedly found the team leader, Li Pei, but Li Pei looked bewildered and said that there were only five people when they came in!
Unconvinced, Du Qiulin quickly picked up the previous list.
When he saw the list, his hands and feet went cold, and his heart sank to his stomach!
Because the list indeed only contains five names, including Li Pei and Du Qiulin!
In that instant, Du Qiulin broke down!
He shouted and yelled, trying to convince Li Pei and the others that he was telling the truth.
But Li Pei and the others all felt that Du Qiulin was suffering from delusions.
So they worked together to hold Du Qiulin down and restrain him, planning to find a way to cure him after leaving the secret realm.
Although everyone felt that Du Qiulin had mental problems.
Despite this incident, the team was still filled with unease.
Li Pei found a house in the town and settled down for the night.
But just as they finished packing up, Du Qiulin was shocked to find that the team was missing another person.
Just like the two people who disappeared before.
All traces of this person's existence have been completely erased!
This time, however, Li Pei and the other two realized something was wrong.
According to the regulations for the investigation team, each expedition must consist of no fewer than five people.
Li Pei produced the list.
Sure enough, only the four of them remained.
This time, even if Li Pei didn't trust Du Qiulin, he realized the seriousness of the situation.
He quickly released Du Qiulin and called the other two to discuss countermeasures.
