Chapter 1206: The Way to Enter the City
"Oh my god, why did I have to meet you guys? Oh, heavens, what did I do to deserve this?" Ouyang Jin looked up at a 45-degree angle toward the sky with an expression of utter despair, shedding silent tears in his heart.
Lu Yi stepped forward wanting to say a few words, but before he could start, Ouyang Jin pounced on him and they ended up scuffling.
"Dude, what are you doing? This is the bad karma between Gu Fan and you, why are you picking on me? Please, keep your cool," Lu Yi was completely bewildered. Then, he heard Ouyang Jin muttering as they fought, "It’s all because of your doomsayer’s curse, all because of your doomsayer’s curse."
Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi stood by watching the commotion, not intending to intervene and understanding Ouyang Jin’s actions. They had indeed suffered a great deal from Lu Yi’s doomsayer predictions, so Ouyang Jin had become wise: beat him up first, then talk.
After the two of them had enough, everyone stepped in to break up the fight and separate them.
All right, after the commotion subsided, it was time to talk about serious matters. Gu Fan, in particular, wanted to learn more about Dark City and why Ouyang Jin had turned up here.
Ouyang Jin explained that after quitting his job at Triangle Sea Area, he had been contacted by an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time. This guy had gotten himself into some trouble and had fled to Dark City, where he had stayed for five years.
In Dark City, due to being beyond the control of any surrounding nation, there was no currency; people traded goods for gold. Therefore, anyone who could acquire some gold and bring it to Dark City could become extremely wealthy there.
Of course, the biggest holder of gold in Dark City was Organization X. However, they were not exactly giving away gold out of generosity. They required others to risk their lives for them in exchange for a little gold.
