All eyes fell upon Jun Wuchen's hand. Naturally, he raised his hand slightly, revealing the object in his palm.
It was an eye mask, a black strip of cloth that appeared impervious to light.
He held up the black strip of cloth in his hand and slowly continued, "This is an eye mask. I believe everyone can understand. Next, you will need to put on the eye masks, and we will proceed with the transfer."
"Why do we have to do this?!"
From the audience, an agent suddenly questioned with displeasure. His tone was filled with hidden anger.
"We are here for special training, not as your prisoners. Why do we have to blindfold ourselves? If you're transferring us, why can't you do it openly?"
When he heard this question, Duan Chen, who had been paying close attention to Jun Wuchen, keenly noticed a momentary shadow cross Jun Wuchen's gaze.
However, Jun Wuchen quickly adjusted his demeanor. He looked at the man who had spoken in the audience, memorized his face, and then said, "It's because the special training location we are going to is highly classified."
"Currently, you are the first to set foot there."
"I can tell you openly that the special training location you will be going to this time is a secret realm that we have already cleared of its greatest dangers."
As he said this, a commotion erupted in the audience. Only a few of the informed individuals revealed a look of coldness and indifference in their eyes.
However, the majority of the agents, who had traveled from afar to enhance their skills, were all excited. They never expected that at such a time, Jun Wuchen, as the organizer and the coach for this special training, would dare to lie. That secret realm was something no one had ever successfully emerged from, let alone cleared of its dangers.
Jun Wuchen continued, "Not only is this special training, but everything you acquire in this secret realm this time, we will not take any part of. You will have complete control over it."
"Once you enter the special training, our rescue personnel will also enter. This includes the coaches. If you feel something is amiss, you can send a signal, and rescue personnel will arrive as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing these words, the unease in everyone's hearts dissipated once more. But no one thought that Jun Wuchen had not organized any rescue personnel at all. Even he, as the coach, was merely a nominal figure. This time, all of them were a suicide squad.
This seemed like a desperate gamble, sending out all the senior agents... Duan Chen couldn't help but ponder this question. Was Jun Wuchen foolish? Why would he take an action that could so significantly impact human development?
"Why is Jun Wuchen doing this? Isn't he part of your Jun family? Or has he been controlled and possessed by an Apostle?" Duan Chen couldn't help but ask aloud, though he didn't actually speak the words, communicating them telepathically.
When his voice appeared in the minds of Qin Nanyuan and the others, it was evident that their expressions showed a momentary shock. However, they quickly realized what was happening and hastily composed themselves.
Qin Nanyuan cautiously spoke within her mind, "Your voice how did it appear in my mind?"
Yuan Qingqing tentatively asked, "Is this also one of Brother Duan's abilities?"
This was the ability of the Ancient Text. Duan Chen had replicated it before, so of course, he could use it. He had a bad feeling about this special training. He felt that something unexpected was about to happen. Moreover, it was uncertain whether they would be sent in together. Therefore, the Ancient Text, which he had remembered at this moment, possessed an unimaginably rare function.
Without changing his expression, he conveyed to the others mentally, "I have linked all of our minds together here."
"Your mental strength is far inferior to mine, so I can link all of you without your consent."
"I have a feeling that something dangerous will happen during this special training. I have already uploaded a map into your minds."
The others quickly followed Duan Chen's instructions to check the so-called map, a rather astonishing operation.
Duan Chen's voice continued to echo. "The current map is blank, but it displays portraits of our few individuals. Only portraits within my mental range will be displayed."
"This way, if we are separated when sent in, we can use the map to find our teammates."
Qin Nanyuan and Yuan Qingqing became extremely excited. Perhaps because of their gender, their emotions were more readily expressed. Their expressions almost betrayed them. However, even if they hadn't managed to control themselves, outsiders wouldn't know why they were happy.
Jun Ci reminded them through the voice channel, "Control yourselves, don't show too much excitement."
The two then somewhat shyly reined in their emotions. Jun Ci appeared more rational. He asked, "By taking such action, have you predicted something?"
Duan Chen nodded. "I think we might be separated this time." He had this thought, though he wasn't entirely certain. Therefore, he needed to take timely precautions. The Ancient Text was the precaution he had taken.
Jun Ci and the others raised no objections to Duan Chen's concerns. Regardless, if what Duan Chen was worried about were to happen, his current precautions would be extremely beneficial. If it didn't happen, there would be no loss.
Onstage, Jun Wuchen's speech was gradually nearing its end. Two men in black suits took black strips of cloth from him. They were placed into a box. Both of them held identical boxes, and the boxes contained identical black strips of cloth. It was conceivable that the black strips of cloth were made of special material.
One by one, the agents, regardless of their emotions, had to put on these strips to participate in the special training. One after another. Soon, it was Duan Chen and the others' turn.
Duan Chen's eyes were covered by the black strip, and his vision immediately plunged into darkness. Even his spiritual energy could not be projected. His heart sank. As expected, the capital region had its own unfathomable methods; it was worthy of being the great capital region.
This was not the most important thing. Most importantly, Duan Chen gradually felt his consciousness becoming hazy. He smelled a strange odor. But he did not resist. He allowed his consciousness to sink into the darkness.
