Night falls.
When the convoy was resting in the wilderness, Tianyang handed Xiao Xitong to Yueguang, opened the door of the gap himself, changed into the costume of "Death", came to the Sky Castle, and set foot in the lower city area.
It was still early, so he took off his mask in the alley, put away his cloak, put them in a suitcase, put on his hat to cover his conspicuous silver hair, and then walked out of the alley.
He hadn't had dinner yet, so he casually walked into a nearby bar. There weren't many restaurants in the downtown area, so the bar also sold staple foods, so Tianyang wasn't worried about not being able to find food.
He picked a table at random, made a gesture, and a sexy girl in scantily clad clothes came over.
"Want something, wine? Or..." The girl twisted her body, emphasizing her plump breasts and thin waist, "Or, do you want me?"
It's still as simple and straightforward as always... .
Tianyang tapped the table lightly: "One drink, non-alcoholic. Exception, one staple food, it must be cleaned up early."
He emphasized cleanliness because some of the food in the downtown area may be made by recycling restaurant waste from the downtown area, or even the leftover garbage of customers. It is then fried, added with heavy seasonings, and then sold again at extremely low prices.
However, these foods are quite popular among residents in the downtown area.
But Tianyang couldn't accept it. Even when he was a child, his mother insisted that he eat fresh food. And those things were expensive. This made Tianyang, who had grown up, begin to understand why his mother often ate out.
She probably eats junk food and leaves the best for her children!
"Okay, speaking of food, we just got a batch of fresh beef. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a fried steak. But, can you afford it?"
"This is not something that can be dealt with with just a dozen contribution points."
The bar girl looked at Tianyang and didn't think he was the kind of person who could afford clean food. Tianyang reached into his pocket and found a gold bar. Of course, he couldn't just take out the whole gold bar.
Tianyang squeezed it hard, and pulled off a golden nugget, then threw it on the table: "This should be enough, right?"
The bar girl was startled, picked it up and weighed it, then said happily: "It's enough, not to mention a meal, it's enough to eat me too."
She turned around, sat on the table, kicked off her shoes, and gently rubbed Tianyang's thighs with her feet in black stockings: "Don't you want to have some fun tonight?"
Tianyang raised his head and smiled: "No, I have something else to do, maybe next time."
He did not discriminate against these girls. They did not get something for nothing. They just used different ways to make ends meet. So Tianyang did not reject them coldly.
The girl laughed and didn't argue. She jumped off the table, bent down, kissed Tianyang on the face and said, "If you change your mind, come to me anytime. Well, you don't smell at all, you're fresh and smell good. I like you very much."
"Your food will be here soon, please wait." After putting away the gold nugget, the girl winked at Tianyang and walked towards the kitchen.
Soon, a drink and a plate of fried steak were placed on Tianyang's table. The bar girl whispered, "I made the drink myself, using juice and soda, you can try it."
"Thank you." Tianyang smiled at her gently.
That pure smile made the girl stunned for a moment, and then she smiled
Leave.
Tian Yang picked up the drink and took a sip. It really had a refreshing fruity aroma. When he wanted to take another sip, he stopped, put the cup down and said, "Go away. Don't disturb me while I'm eating."
Behind him, there were several men standing. One of them was muscular and had black hands on his arms. He slapped one hand on Tianyang's table, bent down, and a strong smell of alcohol came out of his mouth: "Come to the bar and don't drink, what do you think we are? Juice?"
The black hand swept the cup and the drink inside to the ground. Then he walked to Tianyang, pulled a chair and sat down, shouting: "Lian, give him a bottle of wine, a bottle of 'Black Gold'!"
The bar girl who had just brought food to Tianyang frowned and said, "Forget it, he just wants to eat something."
"You bitch, do you have the right to speak here?" The big man slammed the table, splashing the steak sauce in front of Tianyang, which made Tianyang frown.
"Just take the wine when I tell you to, and stop talking nonsense. Why, do you like this?"
"This guy doesn't have much meat, do you think he can feed you, bitch!"
Lian bit her lips lightly. Although there was anger in her eyes, she did not dare to resist and took out a bottle of wine wrapped in gold foil.
The big man pushed the wine in front of Tianyang, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me money."
Tianyang said expressionlessly, "I didn't want it."
"I don't care whether you want it or not. The wine is already in front of you. Do you know what will happen if you don't pay?"
Tianyang shrugged his shoulders: "What will happen?"
The big man leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "I will break both of your legs, then saw them off, and put you in a vase at the door of my bar to show people what happens when they drink without paying."
"I guess some drunkards will even pee on you, hahahaha."
Several men were laughing so hard that they were falling down, and the girl standing behind them looked nervous but helpless.
"All right."
Tianyang took out the gold bar from his pocket and put it on the table: "Is that enough?"
The big man's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Tianyang greedily: "No, that's not enough! Boy, take out all the money you have! Forget it, search him!"
Several men nearby immediately pounced towards Tianyang.
At this time.
Several rays of light flashed between them and the sun.
Then the big man saw that each of his men had a cut on their necks. They were stunned for a moment, then covered their necks, but could not stop the blood from flowing out of their necks.
"You bastard, how dare you!" Before he finished speaking, the big man saw a flash of cold light in his field of vision, and saw that a long sword condensed from ice layers appeared in Tianyang's hand.
His vision began to split into two parts, and then shifted to the left and right. Then darkness gradually spread in his field of vision, and in an instant it became his entire field of vision.
Looking at the big man sitting opposite him, half of his head fell off. Tianyang then put away the gold bar, pinched out a gold lump from it, and threw it to the girl next to him who had fallen to the ground in fear.
"Find a new job. Besides, the juice you make tastes really good."
Tianyang smiled at her and walked out of the bar amid the screams of the customers.
He did not go looking for food, but went directly to the Gray Market, changed into the 'Grim Reaper' costume, and arrived at the Hunger Ball.
In Bidou's office, Tianyang met the person in charge of the dance party. He was still the same as before, with a pale and even blue face, as if he had been ill for a long time and was frail.
"Good evening, Mr. Death." When Bidou saw Tianyang, he quickly stood up, asked Tianyang to sit down in the reception area next to him, and then asked someone to bring tea.
"You came so quickly. I thought you would come to get the things in two days." Bidou walked to a corner of the office and took out a mechanical password box from a dark gray safe.
He placed the box in front of Tianyang and entered the password. The box opened with a click and cold mist immediately poured out from inside.
Tianyang opened the box completely and saw two crystals inside. They were palm-sized and impure black. From time to time, a black shadow would emerge from the crystals and twist to form various shapes.
This is the crystal core of the mysterious magic shadow. No one knows what kind of evil creature it is, but now that he has the material, Tianyang is not too concerned about this matter.
He locked the box again and took a look. There was an instruction card next to the box, which contained the password to open the box. Bidou was still so careful in his work.
Tianyang nodded with satisfaction, put the password box at his feet, and said to Bidou: "Thank you for your hard work."
Bidou laughed and said, "This is just a small thing, it can't be considered hard work."
He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "By the way, Mr. Death. You should have received the news as well. The expeditionary force has returned today."
Tianyang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of Xun. Has she come back today? It has been more than two months since I last saw her. I wonder if she is okay
I really want to meet her.
"But I heard that only General Feimei and some senior officers returned today. The others will return in the next week."
Bidou did not notice anything unusual about Tianyang, and continued, "But today, on the transfer platform, General Feimei and the people of the Golden Council had a small conflict, and the news spread throughout the fortress."
"That female general is really admirable. She actually dared to clash with the people of the Golden Court."
Tian Yang adjusted his mood and said in his usual tone: "Since the expeditionary army is back, what about Yuan Shu?"
"How does the Golden Council intend to deal with him?"
Bi Dou smiled and said, "Of course he was taken away to await public trial. The expeditionary force returned today, and the director who participated in the research project was also taken away by the Golden Council. In my opinion, Yuan Shu should be taken away from Skyfort tomorrow."
"I never thought that he was so ambitious that he would dare to touch EsGod. You said EsGod is such a dangerous thing, why would he want to study it? Could it be that he wants to control EsGod?"
At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and then someone knocked on the door and reported: "Mr. Bidou, something happened."
Bidou said calmly, "What is it?"
"Iron Wall and Night Walker broke into the Gray Market and are trying to block off the area. From the looks of them, they seem to be searching for someone."
Bidou was stunned for a moment: "When did Tiebi and Night Walker get together? They joined forces to act together? Who is it that requires them to go to such lengths?"
Tianyang remained silent, but suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and his heart was filled with shock.
Could it be...
