In the military command center of the fortress, when Yuan Shu held a meeting, Tianyang had already had 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 in the 663rd year of the restart calendar.

For many people, today is a big day.

For example, a bird.

Neither she nor Qian Hong went back to the apartment last night, but went home directly because this morning, their family would hold a ceremony to honor their ancestors.

The same is true for other families. For commoners, today is a time to rest.

After a busy year, residents of Shangcheng District will enjoy the comfort of not having to work during the first three days of the New Year.

So today, the streets are very deserted, and every household 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 also recharge their energy during the day so that they can vent their energy at night.

Considering that after the Starlight Festival ends, the expedition plan will be put on the agenda, and I probably won't stay at the fortress for too long.

Tianyang took out the communication device of "Ghost Face" and wrote a text message to send to Liuguang, to the effect that he might enter the reverse realm recently and be unable to attend the meeting.

After the message was sent, Liu Guang received a reply not long after.

He agreed, but made another request.

Let’s meet in Shangcheng District in the evening!

After Tianyang determined the time and place, he took out the bottle containing Heitong's hair and summoned Ye Xing.

After a while.

Electronic symbols appeared one after another on the wall of the hall, and these symbols quickly combined into a figure, a figure with black pupils!

The 'Night Star', who once again used electronic symbols to appear, used the voice function of the communication machine to send a voice: "Good morning, supreme master, the Son of the night, your humble and loyal servant, waiting for your orders."

Still in the same flattering tone as always.

Tianyang had a sullen face and said in a slightly gloomy tone: "I'm curious about one thing. Are you using the communication network of the fortress? Will it attract the attention of the fortress? I don't want people to find out that there is a period of elusiveness.

The data always comes to my home from time to time."

Ye Xing replied without pausing: "You are right, Master. I used the fortress's communication network."

"But please don't worry, I won't make such a low-end mistake. In the fortress network, I am just some meaningless code and some dispensable data that will not be discovered by others."

"Your servant is very confident about this."

Tianyang 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 you can, but you need 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 find something in the database for you?"

Tianyang pondered for a moment and replied: "Yes, I want you to dig up relevant information about the 'Expedition Plan'. You can make full preparations, but you must not expose any flaws."

"It would be better to get nothing than to let the fortress discover your existence."

Ye Xing's scream rang out from the communicator: "So Master, you care so much about me and such a humble servant. Ye Xing is so touched!"

"Don't worry, Ye Xing will never expose his whereabouts. As long as there is something in the database that the master wants, I will dig it all out and dedicate it 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.

Tianyang coughed dryly: "You can take care of this matter. But right now, I need you to contact Nuo Jin. Tell her that the performance will be held in the evening!"

.......

When the night fell quietly and dyed the fortress with night, Tianyang left the apartment.

Of course he left in the image of ‘Ghost Face’.

He is like a ghost, walking in the shadows, and finally sneaks into the ground, heading towards the place designated by the streamer.

That's a bar.

It's not very famous, has a limited area and few employees.

Because business is sluggish and it's New Year, the bar is closed tonight.

We chose this place for the gathering not only because the bar was vacant, but also because this location was remote enough.

What's even better is that there are soldiers guarding the streets not far from the bar.

The shadowless gathering was held right under Fortress's nose. Such a crazy idea would most likely not attract Fortress's attention.

Tianyang appeared in the alleyway not far from the bar. He walked quickly, using the mottled shadows to approach the restaurant, and followed Liu Guang's instructions to the bar's back kitchen.

Letting the fog ghost armor covering his hands disappear temporarily, Tianyang knocked on the door.

Knocked three times.

The intervals are two long and one short.

Then the armor was re-covered and restored to its original state.

Of course, if he wants, he can 'float' in directly.

The door opened, and Liu Guang, who was wearing a chef's hat, smiled: "You're so 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 Dai Hui without leaving a trace. He didn't want to expose anything by eating.

After passing the kitchen, Tianyang discovered that Liu Guang was actually cooking food.

Although he was only one person, he worked in an orderly manner. I don't know what method he used. The oil fumes in the kitchen were neither released outside nor stayed in the house.

When we arrived at the bar hall, we saw thick curtains drawn around the windows.

This prevents the candlelight inside from spreading outside.

Beside a round table, Iron Lion sat nearby with his feet raised high on the table.

The exaggerated chopping knife was placed nearby. This rugged man was drinking beer. When he saw the sky, he raised his head and gave him a slightly hostile look, and then quickly lowered his head.

A lot of people came to Wuying tonight. In addition to Tianyang and Tieshi, the newly added members also arrived.

Not long after, Heitong and Jianfeng also arrived one after another.

At this time, Liu Guang came out with several plates. He not only cooked in person, but also acted as a waiter, placing plates one by one in front of everyone.

There are barbecued meats, sausages, fried fish, fruits and other items on the plate.

"Sorry, the ingredients in the kitchen are limited, so we can only provide this little thing. You're welcome, let's chat while we eat."

Liuguang ran behind the bar again, this time acting as a bartender, and started preparing drinks for everyone.

Iron Lion unceremoniously picked up a piece of barbecue and threw it into his mouth, chewing the meat juices everywhere: "Boss Liuguang, you called us here to celebrate the New Year, right?"

"of course not."

While talking, Liu Guang had already made a cocktail. He tapped the wine glass, and the glass of wine flashed in front of Heitong.

Liu Guang smiled and said: "Ladies first."

Then he said: "Recently, I heard about an interesting thing. I don't know, have any of you heard of... the expedition plan?" Tianyang, who was hiding in the dark and very close to the window, heard this sentence

His eyes couldn't help but move as he spoke. But he was staring at the ground, and the light in his location was dim, so no one noticed his 'abnormality'.

"I know."

Iron Lion picked up a piece of fried fish, tore off the fish meat and threw it into his mouth: "I heard about it in the Bai family, but it was limited to these four words."

"The Bai family only knows that this is the next secret plan of the fortress, but they don't know much about the details."

Bai family?

Did Tie Shi join the Bai family? Bai Wuji also had a big heart, so he enshrined a Wuying member in his home... Tianyang thought in his heart.

"This cup is yours."

The streamer tapped another glass of beer, and the wine glass flashed on the table in front of Iron Lion.

"I've heard about it too."

The speaker 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 scattered from his forehead to his nose.

His lips were thick and his eyes were cold. When he spoke, his tone barely fluctuated: "I heard that this plan will be carried out in the near future. But I don't know the specific situation either."

Liu Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for the information, Allen, this is yours."

He "sent" a third drink.

No one shared similar information anymore, including Tianyang.

Liuguang made another cocktail and gave it to Tianyang in the corner, and said: "Our operation was successful last time. The shadows were hit hard and they lost an important member."

"It should be difficult to recover in a short period of time. So next, we can focus our energy on the 'expedition plan'."

"I hope that everyone can work separately to clarify as soon as possible and in detail what the so-called expedition plan is."

"If you collect relevant information, please contact me as soon as possible."
