As a 'mute', Guimian certainly could not respond to Liuguang's question with sound. However, Tianyang had already thought about this problem before and had a way to deal with it.
That is to use cryptography. The simplest one is sound cryptography, which constructs and transmits information through a combination of long and short sounds.
Tianyang learned this code from a book. Since it can be spread through books, it is obvious that this code should be universally accepted, so there is no need to worry that Liuguang will not understand it.
If he really doesn't understand, then it's none of Tianyang's business.
After removing some of the Mist Ghost's armor, Tianyang took out the communicator and started tapping on the microphone.
"Everything is normal. Ms. Shadow has left the bar? Very good, then please continue to keep an eye on her. If she changes her route or changes the evacuation time, please notify me immediately."
Sure enough, Liuguang was able to decipher the code. Tianyang continued typing and sent out a message like "I know".
"Then we'll take our seats first, see you later."
After ending the communication, Tianyang hid the communicator, covered his hands with the Mist Ghost Armor again, and caught up with the shadow members who had left not long ago.
Follow along all the way.
Tianyang used the Mist Ghost Armor to sneak, and did not forget to activate the "Black Breathing" to reduce his presence.
Outside the Kraft Gate, where there was no black fog to use, the effect of the 'black breath' was revealed. With it, Tianyang would be difficult to be discovered as long as he was not hit directly or if a high-ranking expert was interested in checking and controlling him.
Coupled with the stealth ability of the Mist Ghost Armor, Lady Shadow had no idea that a dangerous person was following her.
Follow all the way.
As expected, the members of Shadow came to the Gray Market.
They had their own secret passage, and Tianyang did not rush in, even though he could do it easily.
Since it is Shadow’s dedicated path, Tianyang doesn’t think that Shadow will have no security measures.
Even with the Mist Ghost Armor and the black breath, Tianyang knew very well that he was not without flaws.
He used another, simpler way to enter the gray market.
Using the Mist Ghost armor, he passed through a wall and several buildings, and in the process, he knocked out a random man and took his cloak and mask.
When he appeared in the Gray Market, Tianyang had become a different person. With the help of the invisible connection between "fate interference", Tianyang was able to sense the existence of the shadow lady and find her again.
She did not go to the tower in the shadow, but appeared in a shop not far from the red chimney. Tianyang observed the area for a while, and after finding that many passers-by went in and came out safely, he followed two guests who came to visit the gray market and walked in.
"welcome."
Tianyang suddenly heard Nuo Jin's voice. He restrained his urge to look at Nuo Jin, worried that the woman would recognize him from her eyes and thus reveal a flaw in her expression.
Fortunately, Nuo Jin didn't notice him. She was acting as a clerk in the shop, working hard and seriously to sell the store's materials or weapons to other customers.
Tianyang passed by the counter without leaving a trace, and in the corner of his eye he saw the shadowy lady looking at the account book.
There were a few more black threads on her body.
After confirming that the Shadow Lady was here, Tianyang walked around the store and came out. He then went into a stall not far away and bought two cheap materials to use as a cover.
He received Liuguang's message again, this time via text message.
The shadows are quietly making arrangements. Their members have occupied most of the commanding heights of the Gray Market, occupied a part of the entrances and exits, and have initially completed the blockade.
Seeing this message, Tianyang sighed sincerely that the Shadow's background was indeed strong. It was able to complete the deployment and blockade in the complex gray market. This kind of strength was not something that ordinary underground organizations could produce.
From another perspective, it is not difficult to see that Shadow is determined to clean up the Red Chimney and the Hunger Ball in order to end the separation of powers in the underworld for many years.
Once Shadow completes this strategic layout, then with the help of Skyfortress, Shadow will undoubtedly rise and become the most influential hidden organization in the Gulf region and even in the East Continent.
Lying dormant in secret, once it takes off, no one will be able to catch up!
It can be said that Shadow is very ambitious, and the depth and breadth of its layout are very large.
Even their reconciliation with the God of Death was a plan for tonight.
Minimize the variables tonight.
Unfortunately, Shadow had planned everything, but he didn't expect that the rise of Skyforge would attract the attention of another organization, a global organization.
Tianyang took the two materials, turned around, and activated the Mist Ghost Amulet in an alley. Leaving behind the cloak and mask, he sneaked into the ground and monitored the shop where the shadow lady was.
Red chimney.
In the top attic, the owner of the red chimney, Lan Meng was standing by the window, looking at the gray market below.
One hand held the small golden pipe and puffed out smoke.
Footsteps sounded, and a woman with a mole on her forehead came over: "Miss Lan Meng, Mr. Bidou from the Hunger Ball wants to see you."
"Please ask him to come up."
Putting down the pipe, Lan Meng turned around with a serious look on his face.
A moment later, she saw Bidou, and three of Bidou's henchmen, namely the clown, the lady, and the fat man.
Lan Meng nodded: "Good evening, Mr. Bidou. I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances."
Bidou, who looked pale as if he had been ill for a long time, sighed, "Yes, if it weren't for the shadow, our two families probably wouldn't be able to get along."
"The shadows have completed the initial blockade, and they have occupied most of the commanding heights. Once the war begins, both you and I will be in an extremely unfavorable situation."
Lan Meng blew out a smoke ring: "I don't know, what do you think about this matter?"
There was a gold coin in Bidou's hand. He turned this coin made of gold between his five fingers and said, "Tonight's market will probably end early. If my estimate is correct, the shadow will definitely take action in an hour, or at the latest within two hours."
"If I were the commander of this operation, I would prepare an elemental heart to deal a fatal blow to the enemy from the very beginning."
"Our advantage now is that since we received the news that Shadow wanted to 'clear the field', both of us are relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, and there are still some minor frictions from time to time."
"The shadow probably doesn't know that we have actually made some preparations. We can use this to give the shadow a little surprise."
"Right now, my people are secretly scouting in the Gray Market. If the Shadow has an elemental team, it must have been deployed in the market."
"Once I find them, my idea is to take the initiative, attack first and disrupt their formation."
Lan Meng nodded: "I quite agree with Mr. Bidou's ideas and practices, but there is one thing we need to pay attention to. Shadow is a long-established underground organization in Skyfort. They have been operating for a longer time than you, me, and both of us."
"So far, I still don't know how deep their foundation is. But one thing I can be sure of is that it will not be easy to find the elemental team that may exist somewhere."
"We have to prepare for the worst, so I want to know what your combat force configuration is this time?"
Bidou said with a chuckle, "Well, we need to work together tonight to have a chance to defeat the shadow. How about you and I both be honest and tell each other our combat power configurations?"
Lan Meng readily agreed: "No problem."
She said with regret, "It's a pity that we can't contact Mr. Death. Even if we can, he may not accept our commission. Otherwise, if Mr. Death joins us, Shadow will have a bigger headache tonight."
"The Shadow's clearing was revealed by Mr. Death. So, Mr. Death will not stand on the same front with the Shadow. This is great news for us."
Bidou shook his head and said, "For the rest, don't hold out too much hope. Besides, we can only fight the shadow if we rely on Mr. Death."
"In this way, even if we can repel the shadow, we will be invisible and inferior in the eyes of outsiders."
Lan Meng smiled bitterly: "What's the harm? The fact that we need to unite to fight against the shadow is already a step short. I won't say more. Our fighting power tonight is like this..."
While the two leaders of Red Chimney and Hunger Ball were discussing joining forces, the people sent by Bi Dou were secretly operating in the Gray Market.
These people were disguised and looked like customers in the gray market. They walked around the market, entering and exiting the shops and stalls, buying things or asking prices. Some even argued with the bosses over prices.
At the same time, Tianyang, who was lurking in the market, discovered that the shop where Lady Shadow was located was starting to close.
Nuo Jin, disguised as a shop assistant, began to ask the customers to leave the store, then closed the doors and windows and put away the shelves outside the store.
In the shop, Lady Shadow opened a window, leaving only a tiny gap.
Looking out, you can see the building with the red chimney.
"Get ready, it's time to take action."
"Those above rank 3, join forces to cast 'Explosive Flame' at the Red Chimney. Those at rank 4, cast 'Wither' at the Hungry Dance."
"You can start preparing. Also, Nuo Jin, take out the thing that can block the aura."
Following a series of commands from Lady Shadow, this team of Elemental Hearts began to form groups and make preparations.
Nuo Jin took out a box and handed it to Lady Shadow. Lady Shadow placed her hand on the box and gently injected star essence into it. When she opened it, a light mist floated out of the box.
They permeated the air and spread around the interior of the shop. Within the range covered by the fog, the smell inside could no longer be detected by the outside world.
Tianyang, who was outside, was the first to feel this.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the shop seemed to have disappeared. If it weren't for the thread of fate, Tianyang would have thought that the target had been moved.
At this moment, angry curses were heard on the street outside the shop...
