Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225 Several Video Clips

The Lightning Mercenary Corps, Flame Mercenary Corps, Hunter’s Guild, and Gu Fan’s group slowed down their pace as planned, aiming to follow after the United Army commenced its operation and engaged with the vampire creatures. For two days and nights, no dangers befell them, as if the vampire creatures in the area had vanished. Everyone had to admire how well Gu Fan had thought things through, otherwise based on the situation on the first day, half of the group might have already perished. However, Gu Fan always looked serious and seldom spoke. He took the opportunity when others were not paying attention to call Su Hui, Lin Xi, Lu Yi, and Ouyang Jin aside for a brief meeting. After hearing Gu Fan’s thoughts, Su Hui nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also find it weird that the Dark Primitive Mountain is so vast, yet the path of the United Army is always not far from ours, always drawing the fire towards them." Lu Yi thought, "Maybe the United Army has divided into several groups? One of which happens to be close to our route." Although Lu Yi’s possibility was not dismissed, Gu Fan still believed it was unlikely, as nobody knew how many vampire creatures were in the Dark Primitive Mountain. Why would anyone want to split their forces and delve into such a perilous place? Lin Xi urged Gu Fan not to overthink it, the urgent matter was to figure out if there was anything useful in Jie’s phone, which could potentially change their course of action. Although Jie’s phone still had some battery left, the problem was that they couldn’t crack the password. Gu Fan tried several times in vain, even entering Jie’s birthday didn’t work. "If I were Jie, what password would I use?" Lu Yi pondered while stroking his chin. Lin Xi remarked, "You three have always been close, why didn’t you share your phone passwords?" "Please, Miss Lin, personal privacy is something even close brothers can’t share," Lu Yi had just finished speaking, when Gu Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and entered Hai’s birthday, which actually unlocked the phone. Everyone stared in amazement, realizing yes, many people use their own birthdays as passwords, and those of people they care deeply about as well; Jie always admired Hai, it was very likely that Hai’s birthday was the password. Su Hui curiously asked, "How did you know Hai’s birthday?" Gu Fan replied, "Once I asked Jie to play basketball, but he said he needed to celebrate his brother’s birthday, so I found out Hai’s birthday." Ouyang Jin quickly urged, "Alright, let’s see what information is on Jie’s phone." Everyone held their breath, watching as Gu Fan unlocked Jie’s phone, first checking the photo album, discovering several videos taken by Jie. Gu Fan took a deep breath, his hands slightly trembling. He steadied himself and then mustered the courage to open the first video. In the first frame, Jie spoke to the camera, "The situation is very urgent, I recorded this video just in case. I came out with some people from the Hunter’s Guild to mine for gold, along with many others. This is the third time in a week that Organization X has assembled people for gold mining, normally it’s at most once a week, it wasn’t like this before, and the people from the previous two times did not return, it seems something bad happened." The screen went dark, the first video ended leaving everyone feeling puzzled but more so uneasy. The second video showed a group of people moving forward, seemingly through a valley, filmed from a low angle, giving the impression of being secretly filmed. The people from Organization X were urging them to move faster, needing to reach somewhere before dark. From the video, it was evident that everyone was moving slowly and morale was low. The third video started with a scene of bodies strewn everywhere, many people were frightened into immobility, not daring to move forward, even those from Organization X hesitated. The video showed not only bodies but also some vampire creatures, all brutally torn apart; it seemed that approaching this area, anyone or anything would face indiscriminate attacks. The individuals from Organization X also started filming with their phones, then sent the footage back to their headquarters, which instructed them to keep moving forward while continuing to film, to determine what was in the valley. After the third video, Gu Fan felt anxious; it appeared that even Organization X hadn’t completely figured out the mysteries of the Dark Primitive Mountain. Lu Yi whispered, "Should we continue watching? I feel like the fourth video might be key." "I... " Gu Fan hesitated, fearing he might see something upsetting. Su Hui firmly said, "We must understand the situation, not only is Jie in danger, but we are as well, so we must know what we will encounter next." With the support of everyone’s gaze, Gu Fan opened the fourth video. Screams, wails, dust swirling, everyone was running for their lives, one could even see a person being sucked away by a mysterious force. Jie found a place to hide then turned the camera on himself, his expression full of horror, seemingly more terrifying than seeing a ghost. "I don’t know what’s happening? I don’t know what’s going on, I just feel like there’s something invisible tearing apart the people around me, even the vampires are being outright killed," Jie’s voice trembled with fear. Just then, Hai’s voice came through, "What are you standing around for, run!" The camera jerked violently as if Jie were being forcibly pulled away, he no longer had the time to care about the camera’s focus. As everyone watched in tension, they heard Jie screaming, it seemed Hai was in trouble. The fifth video showed a distraught Jie, "My brother’s been taken, I don’t know what that thing is, but I have to save him. Organization X has brought many capable people, it appears that they’re determined to break through the barrier. I’ll follow them, I have to find my brother." The camera shook violently, it was unclear what was being filmed, then Jie said, "My phone is yours, you guys hurry and escape, report to the Hunter’s Guild, also inform my good friend Gu Fan, I did my best, if something happens to me, please don’t be sad for me or take risks for me." The fifth video ended, letting everyone know one thing, the person holding Jie’s phone was not Jie himself, it was more likely one of the Hunter’s Guild, meaning Jie might still be alive, but from the video, it was clear he was in a very dangerous place.
