In the military command center of the fortress, when Yuan Shu was holding a meeting, Tianyang had already finished his breakfast and was leaning leisurely on his balcony, looking at the streets and the distant view of the upper city.
Today is the first day of the new year, January 1st of the 663rd year of the Restart Calendar.
For many people, today is a big day.
For example, birds.
Last night, she and Qianhong did not return to the apartment, but went directly home because this morning, their family would hold a tomb-sweeping ceremony to worship their ancestors.
The same is true for other families. For the common people, today is a time to rest.
After a busy year, residents of the upper town will enjoy the relaxation of not having to work during the first three days of the New Year.
So today, the streets are deserted and every family is celebrating the festival at home.
Especially this year, the Starlight Festival celebration will be held for three days. Although the next two days will not be as lively as last night, people will conserve their energy during the day so that they can vent their energy at night.
Considering that the expedition plan will be put on the agenda after the Starlight Festival, I probably won’t stay in the fortress for too long.
Tianyang took out the "Ghost Face" communicator and wrote a short message to Liuguang, saying that he might enter the adverse world recently and would not be able to attend the rally.
Not long after the message was sent, Liuguang responded.
He agreed, but made another request.
Rally uptown tonight!
After Tianyang determined the time and place, he took out the bottle containing the black pupil's hair and summoned Yexing.
A moment later.
Electronic symbols appeared on the walls of the hall, and these symbols quickly combined into a human figure, the figure of Hei Tong!
The Night Star once again used electronic symbols to send out a voice message using the voice function of the communicator: "Good morning, Supreme Master, Son of the Night, your humble and loyal servant, is waiting for your orders."
Still the same flattering tone as always.
Tian Yang frowned and said in a slightly gloomy voice: "There is one thing I am curious about. Are you using the Fortress's communication network? Will it attract the Fortress's attention? I don't want anyone to find out that there is a piece of data that keeps coming to my house from time to time."
Ye Xing replied without hesitation: "You are right, Master. I used the fortress's communication network."
"But please rest assured, I won't make such a low-level mistake. In the fortress's network, I am just some meaningless codes and some dispensable data. No one will find me."
"Your servant is very confident about this."
Tian Yang was quite surprised and asked casually: "Then can you sneak into the fortress's database without being discovered?"
Ye Xing's tone sounded a little excited: "Of course, but it takes some preparation to sneak into the database. I have to analyze the electronic model of the database and find a way to deceive the monitoring code."
"Master, do you need me to look for something in the database for you?"
Tian Yang pondered for a moment and replied: "Yes, I want you to dig out relevant information about the 'Expedition Plan'. You can make full preparations, but don't reveal any flaws."
"It's better to get nothing than to let the fortress know of your presence."
Ye Xing's scream rang out from the communicator: "Master, you really care about me so much, even a lowly servant like me. Ye Xing is so touched!"
"Don't worry, Ye Xing will never reveal his whereabouts. As long as there is something the master wants in the database, I will dig it all out.
Come out and dedicate yourself to the supreme existence in the night!"
no no...
You don't have to be so excited.
I just don't want to expose myself.
Tian Yang coughed dryly: "You can handle this matter. But right now, I need you to contact Nuo Jin. Tell her that the performance will be held in the evening!"
... ... .
As night fell quietly, covering the fortress with darkness, Tianyang left the apartment.
Of course, he left in the image of "Ghost Face".
He walked in the shadows like a ghost, and finally sneaked into the ground and headed towards the place designated by the flowing light.
That's a bar.
It is not very famous, has a limited area and few employees.
Due to slow business and it being New Year, the bar was closed tonight.
The reason for choosing this place for the gathering was not only because the bar was vacant, but also because the location was remote enough.
What’s even better is that there are iron-clad soldiers on duty on the street not far from the bar.
The shadowless gathering was held right under the nose of the fortress. Such a crazy idea would most likely not attract the fortress's attention.
Tianyang appeared in an alley not far from the bar. He walked quickly, approaching the restaurant with the help of mottled shadows, and followed Liuguang's instructions to the back kitchen of the bar.
Letting the fog ghost armor covering his hands disappear temporarily, Tianyang knocked on the door.
Knocked three times.
Two long and one short intervals.
Then the armor was re-covered and restored to its original state.
Of course, if he wanted, he could just 'float' in.
The door opened and Liuguang, wearing a chef's hat, smiled. "You're here really early. Come to the front. I'm preparing some food for everyone."
Tianyang's heart skipped a beat and he began to think about how to get rid of it without leaving any trace. He didn't want to expose anything by eating.
Passing by the kitchen, Tianyang discovered that Liuguang was actually cooking food.
Although he was alone, he worked in an orderly manner. No one knew what method he used, but the kitchen fumes were neither released outside nor stayed in the house.
When I arrived at the bar's lobby, I saw that all the windows around had thick curtains drawn.
This prevents the candlelight inside from spreading outside the house.
Next to a round table, Iron Lion sat nearby with his feet raised high on the table.
The exaggerated machete was placed nearby. The rough man was drinking beer. When he saw Tianyang, he looked up and gave him a slightly hostile look, then quickly lowered his head.
A lot of people came to Wuying tonight. In addition to Tianyang and Tieshi, the new members who were added earlier have also arrived.
Not long after, Hei Tong and Jian Feng also arrived.
At this time Liuguang came out with a few plates. He not only cooked himself but also acted as a waiter, placing the plates in front of everyone.
The plates were filled with grilled meat, sausages, fried fish, fruits, etc.
"I'm sorry, the ingredients in the kitchen are limited, so we can only provide this little bit. Everyone, please feel free to chat while we eat."
Liuguang ran behind the bar again, this time acting as a bartender and began preparing drinks for everyone.
Tieshi unceremoniously grabbed a piece of roast meat and threw it into his mouth, chewing until the meat juice splashed everywhere: "Boss Liuguang, you called us here, aren't you to celebrate the New Year?"
"of course not."
When I was speaking, the light had already turned
He made a cocktail. He tapped the glass and the drink appeared in front of Hei Tong.
Liuguang smiled and said, "Ladies first."
Then he said, "Recently, I heard something interesting. I wonder if any of you have heard of the expedition plan?" Tianyang, who was hiding in the dark, very close to the window, couldn't help but move his eyes when he heard this. But he was staring at the ground, and the light was dim where he was, so no one noticed his "abnormality".
"I know."
Tieshi picked up a fried fish, tore off the fish meat, and threw it into his mouth: "I have heard of it in the Bai family, but it is only limited to these four words."
"The Bai family only knows that this is a secret plan of Fortress, but they don't know too many details."
Bai family
Is Tieshi joining the Bai family? Bai Wuji is also very generous, just worshipping a member of Wuying at home... Tianyang thought to himself.
"This cup is yours."
Liuguang knocked on another glass of beer, and the glass appeared on the table in front of Tieshi.
"I've heard that, too."
The person who spoke was a member who had just arrived at the fortress. He looked to be in his early thirties, with rough and dark skin, and mysterious patterns from his forehead to his nose.
His lips were thick, his eyes were cold, and his tone was almost inflected when he spoke: "I heard that this plan will be implemented soon. But I don't know the specific details either."
Liuguang nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for the information, Allen, this is yours."
He "delivered" a third drink.
No one shared similar information afterwards, including Tianyang.
Liuguang made another cocktail and gave it to Tianyang in the corner, saying, "Our action was very successful last time. Shadow suffered a great blow and they lost an important member."
"It will be difficult to recover in such a short period of time. So next, we can focus our energy on the 'Expedition Plan'."
"I hope everyone can act separately and find out as soon as possible and in detail what the so-called expedition plan is."
"If you gather relevant information, please contact me as soon as possible."
Sudden.
Hei Tong stood up.
The girl's pupils dilated slightly: "Something's going on!"
Liuguang knew that she was of the Harmonizer class, and the ascenders of this class had sharp intuition.
Hei Tong said something happened, so something must have happened, but he didn't have time to give corresponding instructions.
Boom!
The door of the bar exploded, and a figure rushed in, appearing in the middle of the hall.
He was a two-meter-tall giant wearing a black full-body armor. A thick layer of star energy glow flowed around his body, and he was obviously wearing a 'star energy barrier'.
The giant's face was hidden in the black metal visor, with only the gaps in the eyes flashing with ferocious eyes.
"Good evening, mice."
The giant raised his hands, each holding a rifle with a thick barrel. He then pulled the trigger, and streams of light blue spurted out from the muzzle.
As the giant turned his body, the rain of bullets formed by the two high-speed rifles attacked the surroundings madly and quickly, splashing towards all the Shadowless members including Liuguang!
When the giant broke into the room and attracted everyone's attention, Tian Yang, who was well prepared, had quietly sneaked into the ground and disappeared into the shadows on the floor of the bar...
