Name: Duan Chen.
Gender: Male.
Age: 23 years old.
Ability: Summoning Crows.
Duan Chen filled in Bai Ye's abilities as his own without any psychological burden.
After all, he could use Bai Ye's abilities.
There was no problem with claiming them as his own.
As for mind-reading...
Mind-reading didn't consume much spiritual energy.
So he had it activated all the time.
It was precisely because he had mind-reading constantly active, allowing him to hear the thoughts of the people around him, that he was willing to team up with them. If they harbored any ill intentions, Duan Chen would absolutely not agree.
However, Duan Chen had no intention of revealing this widely known ability in Su City here.
The capital gathered spirit hunters from all over the country.
Few would notice a special agent like him from an obscure city.
Since that was the case, perhaps mind-reading could also become a hidden trump card.
The most important thing was that the people around him didn't know he could read minds.
The only ones who knew about his mind-reading were those he had been with in the early stages.
But they were almost all dead or injured.
Duan Chen understood clearly.
He feared that this time, they would have to face not only monsters but also human hearts.
So, anything that needed to be hidden must be hidden.
The other reports they filled out were largely similar.
Duan Chen collected their filled reports and handed them in.
He moved closer to the counter of the staff member collecting the reports and winked.
The staff member's face instantly turned a little red.
She asked shyly.
"What is it?"
It wasn't surprising she acted so infatuated, it was simply because Duan Chen was too handsome.
His handsomeness was not aggressive.
Unless it was a particularly petty man looking, he could be said to appeal to both men and women, and his appearance was not gentle.
A gentle smile played on Duan Chen's lips.
"May I ask, how many people are in a dormitory?"
His eyes landed on the name tag of the staff member behind the counter.
Xiao Hong.
Regarding this question, Xiao Hong answered without hesitation.
"Dormitories are for six people."
"For the five of you, I can arrange to put you in the same dormitory, but if the number of people in the dormitory becomes too large in the end, we might have to add one more person to your room."
"It's fortunate you came relatively early, otherwise, it would really be impossible to have all five of you stay in the same dormitory."
She understood why Duan Chen had come to find her.
Even for such a small convenience, she had the authority to make decisions.
Duan Chen nodded upon hearing Xiao Hong's words, maintaining his gentle and charming smile, and his voice deepened.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"I don't mind for myself, but my two pairs of friends are couples, so I can't let them be separated. As an elder brother, I naturally have to make arrangements for my younger siblings."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong's discomfort vanished.
She had initially wanted to pick on Yuan Qingqing and Qin Nanyuan, as they were both exceptionally beautiful.
But upon hearing that both Qin Nanyuan and Yuan Qingqing had boyfriends now.
Xiao Hong looked at the two women with a touch of pity.
She couldn't help but think.
"What kind of taste do they have? One boyfriend looks like a pitiful little puppy, clearly someone who only knows how to spend money and not earn it. The other looks like an ice mountain, truly believing they are living in a CEO romance novel."
Her gaze became somewhat infatuated as she looked at Duan Chen, "Then can I have your contact information?"
Duan Chen smiled.
"Of course, but please take care of the dormitory issue for me."
Xiao Hong immediately nodded.
"Let me see..."
"For the dormitory, Room 316 is still vacant. It's a six-person dormitory, and you can move in directly."
She successfully obtained Duan Chen's contact information and readily handed the key to Room 316 to him.
Duan Chen added Xiao Hong on WeChat.
However, he didn't mention that a normal man wouldn't have just one WeChat account.
This WeChat account would practically never be used.
But this was not something he needed to tell others.
However, there was one more thing that occupied Duan Chen's mind.
He thought for a moment and then asked.
"I saw on this form that there's a blank for abilities. There wasn't such a blank in previous years. Could it be that this year's teams will be assigned based on our abilities?"
Xiao Hong looked at Duan Chen with some surprise.
She said, astonished, "Your information is quite well-informed... This year is indeed a team competition, but it's not about assigned teams. It's about free team formation."
"This special training tests the unity within a team, but it doesn't test the unity between individuals after they've been mixed up. After all, the purpose of the training is to confront heretics and anomalies."
Rather than bringing people together from all corners of the world.
Duan Chen nodded, his mind at ease.
He smiled and thanked her.
"Thank you for telling me this information. I won't bother you with your work any longer."
With that, he turned and left.
Holding the dormitory key he obtained from Xiao Hong and carrying his luggage, he walked towards his temporary teammates.
Yuan Qingqing looked at Duan Chen anxiously, her eyes full of urgent inquiry.
"How did it go? Did you get any news?"
Duan Chen quickly nodded.
"Of course. Are you still not confident when I'm here?"
"Let's talk as we walk."
They walked together to the designated Room 316, and on the way, Duan Chen told them the information he had gathered.
Upon hearing the news Duan Chen had obtained, Yuan Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Her expression improved considerably.
"I knew it, the news I heard couldn't possibly be wrong."
"This time it's indeed a free team formation team competition, so the five of us can continue to form a team."
Qin Nanyuan, however, was far from as joyful as Yuan Qingqing.
She tightly bit her lip, almost to the point of bleeding.
Her entire demeanor appeared anxious.
Duan Chen keenly noticed Qin Nanyuan's state.
He frowned and asked.
"What's wrong? Your complexion doesn't look very good."
Qin Nanyuan smiled wryly and nodded.
"I just thought of something, but I'm not sure if I should say it. It's just something I heard through rumors."
"What can't be said?"
Duan Chen narrowed his eyes.
"However, if it's news, we should discuss it after we get to the dormitory."
Qin Nanyuan exhaled, comforting herself that it was probably nothing.
"Okay."
