Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: Really Crazy

Seeing everyone suddenly eager to take on a mission that everyone had been avoiding just moments ago, Gu Fan could not help but bitterly explain, "Let’s not fight over this, my friend will lead, and I’m offering a million. If you lead, let your employer foot the bill."

"What do you mean?" The mercenaries were displeased, "Gu Fan, you don’t consider us partners?"

"Partners are partners, but..." Gu Fan found himself in a difficult situation, feeling that the wrong words might hurt the hard-earned unity.

At this moment, General Horton spoke up, "For those who go, two million."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits lifted, and Ouyang Jin’s eyes sparkled as he signed up immediately, unstoppable.

Lu Yi grew worried, "Dude, it’s true what they say, ’For money men will die and birds will feast.’ Do you really need to be this reckless?"

"Nonsense, every time I’m with you guys, it’s always do or die. Since it’s all the same, why not maximize the benefits?" Ouyang Jin argued convincingly, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Lu Yi wanted to advise Ouyang Jin to calm down and not be blinded by money. But Gu Fan just smiled faintly and then offered his full support.

"Aren’t you worried about something happening to Ouyang Jin? If we lose him, how will we navigate Dark City?" Lu Yi could not understand why Gu Fan was so confident in Ouyang Jin, as his expression conveyed no concern whatsoever.

Lu Yi turned to see Su Hui and Lin Xi also very calm, making him puzzled. Was he the only one concerned about Ouyang Jin possibly facing danger?

Gu Fan was not without concern for Ouyang Jin, but he firmly believed that since destiny had brought them together in several adventures, Ouyang Jin would surely not run into trouble easily, especially since Ouyang Jin had an unfinished task in the future.

Once the decision on who would go was made, everyone got to work. They tied Ouyang Jin with ropes, very securely, fearing he would break free.

Feeling nearly trussed up like a pig, Ouyang Jin couldn’t help but grumble, "Guys, do we have to take this so seriously?"

"Just to be safe. We’re afraid you might charge at us in a frenzy, and we’d have to defensively beat you up." The worries of everyone, including Gu Fan who narrowly avoided mishaps himself, were not unfounded.

Once everything was ready, Ouyang Jin took several deep breaths, psyching himself up before taking the initiative and marching forward.

According to Lu Yi, they were heading towards the small lake where a group had previously gone mad.

A dozen people carefully followed Ouyang Jin, each pulling on the rope, maintaining a distance of fifty paces.

"God bless me, bless me," Ouyang Jin was nervous, his heart rate accelerating in the quiet surroundings which made him profoundly uneasy, only hearing his own anxious heartbeat.

The farther Ouyang Jin walked, the more sweat beaded on his forehead. Despite knowing the dangers ahead and the likelihood of going mad, he still bravely moved forward.

Ouushing his fear and nervousness, Ouyang Jin’s legs trembled slightly. The path before him seemed skewed, even though the people following could see clearly he was walking in a straight line.

No one could imagine the pressure Ouyang Jin was under, and those who had almost volunteered to take Ouyang Jin’s place began to secretly rejoice that they hadn’t.

Suddenly, Ouyang Jin, walking at the very front, froze, causing everyone to tense up, especially those holding the ropes who found their breathing becoming labored.

"Dude, what’s wrong, are you alright?" Lu Yi called out a few times, but Ouyang Jin did not respond. His silence suggested something bad was going to happen.

After a while, the rigid Ouyang Jin’s body suddenly jerked a few times, as if his body wasn’t quite listening to him.

Seeing this, Lu Yi urgently said, "Looks like he’s about to go mad, everyone get ready to pull him back."

"Who’s going mad? You’re the silly one. Can’t you see my bad acting?" Ouyang Jin turned around with a disdainful expression.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief seeing Ouyang Jin was alright; they had really been scared to death just now.

Lu Yi couldn’t contain his frustration, "Dude, concern breeds chaos. If it weren’t for my worry about you, how could I have been easily fooled by you? You betrayed our relationship and trust, I feel deeply hurt now, and no other man has ever hurt me like this."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Yi and then at Ouyang Jin, feeling that the relationship between these two was surely not ordinary.

"Alright, it’s my bad, I apologize, I was wrong..." Ouyang Jin suddenly stopped talking, his expression going blank, as if possessed, freezing once again.

After a while, feeling bored, someone said, "Alright, dude, once is enough, stop always trying to amuse us."

"Idiot, this time it’s real!" Lu Yi urgently shouted, knowing Ouyang Jin well; he would never joke out the same thing twice.

Gradually, Ouyang Jin’s expression turned ferocious, his body trembling as if desperately trying to restrain himself, but soon he completely lost control.

Ouyang Jin roared and screamed like a wild beast, seeming utterly mad. Then seeing a crowd in front of him, he lunged at them.

"Everyone stick to the plan, hold him down." No sooner had Lu Yi finished speaking than he imagined everyone rushing forward together at his command.

However, reality was less ideal than imagination. Lu Yi realized no one had advanced to help, and turning around, he almost fainted from frustration. At the critical moment, not a single soul had stepped up, all shrinking back.

"What are you afraid of? He’s tied up, poses no threat," Lu Yi tried to rally everyone, but they replied, "Since there’s no danger, you can handle it yourself."

"Are you guys really mercenaries? How can each of you be more afraid of death than I am?" Just as Lu Yi realized this, Ouyang Jin tackled him. It felt as if Ouyang Jin truly was a wild beast.

Fortunately, Lu Yi was lucky because Ouyang Jin was so securely bound he could only bite, and Lu Yi, pressing his hands on Ouyang Jin’s head, could prevent him from biting at all.

"Come help, drag him away," Lu Yi urged, though not in much danger himself, he couldn’t handle being pinned down in such an indecent position for long.

Finally, a few more honorable members of the Hunter’s Guild came forward, and together they subdued the frantic Ouyang Jin, clumsily pinning him to the ground.
