"Sorry, I'm late." Chen Han sat in his seat and smiled apologetically.

"It's okay. There are still several minutes before the meeting starts." Shao Pingge glanced at the other side of the round table, "Besides... isn't there one person who hasn't arrived yet?"

"He just called me and said he was with the commander and should be here together." Old Dog Wu, who was sitting on the other side wearing a black cloak, spoke slowly.

After Lin Qiye was promoted to commander-in-chief, he reorganized and integrated the original six departments into seven departments. The vacant position of director of the Special Operations Department was supposed to be held by Wang Mian, the former captain of the [Mask] team, but he was recently transferred to the fog to perform a mission, so he was temporarily replaced by Wu Laogou, the captain of the [Medium] team.

"So what exactly is the purpose of this emergency meeting?" Yuan Gang asked puzzledly while sitting in the position of Director of the Material Management Department.

"I don't know... Let's wait until the commander comes."

About three minutes later, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Walking in front was the seventh commander of the Great Xia Night Watch, Lin Qiye... Behind him was the Minister of the "Special Secret Department" newly established four years ago, Wu Quan.

This brand-new department is one of the major initiatives taken by Lin Qiye after he took office. It is called the "Special Secret Department", but in fact it is a special department dedicated to "mysterious" deployment. Except for Wu Quan, all members of the department are "mysterious".

A large number of them were originally nurses from the Gods Mental Hospital. Since there were no other patients in the hospital except Chaos, these nurses had nothing to do in the hospital, so Lin Qiye simply asked the Seraph clone to summon them all out.

Of course, maintaining the summoning magic of hundreds of caregivers requires a large amount of divine power, so Lin Qiye usually keeps the Seraphim clone in space in a "dormant" state, and will only activate it in an emergency.

As for the rest of the department's members, they are the "mysteries" controlled by Wu Quan with the [Dominating Emperor]. In this world, apart from Lin Qiye, he is the only one who can manage a department composed of so many "mysteries" at once. Naturally, the position of the minister belongs to him.

Since the establishment of the Special Secret Department, Wuquan has been continuously deploying "mysteries" to various parts of Daxia, helping local night watch teams in trouble to fight against local "mysteries", achieving the effect of "using barbarians to control barbarians".

This subversive move greatly alleviated the pressure on the night watchmen in various cities and reduced the workload of the special team. It was for this reason that Lin Qiye was able to separate the [Knights] and [Demons] teams to jointly fulfill the responsibility of exploring the fog.

After Wuquan sat down at the round table, all seven senior leaders of the Night Watch arrived.

Shao Pingge, Yuan Gang, Chen Han, Wu Quan, Wu Laogou... Among the seven people, five are familiar faces, and the other two are old backbones who once followed the two commanders Ye Fan and Zuo Qing. They are very reliable, and they are also the top force of the Night Watch today.

"Commander Lin, are you calling us here for some emergency?" an old member couldn't wait to ask.

“I’m planning to host an event.”

"What activities?"

Lin Qiye swept his eyes over the crowd and spoke word by word:

"The Hunting God Festival."

…

Cangnan City,

Peace Office.

"God Hunting Festival?"

Hearing these four words, Hongying's eyes showed doubt, "What is that?"

"This notice says that a special ceremony is being held to celebrate humanity's hunting of nine gods... It will be held in three days at Chennan Pass. Each night watch team with less than five people is required to send one person to watch the ceremony, and teams with more than five people are required to send two people, with those with less experience given priority."

Wen Qimo had a strange expression on his face after reading the contents of the notice.

"Celebrating the hunt for the nine gods... and holding a special ceremony? This doesn't seem like Nanaya's style, does it?"

"What's wrong with that?" Hongying's eyes lit up. "That's a celebration! The Night's Watch has never held any celebrations in the past ten years, not even a big team building. It's boring... Qiye can think of holding a celebration, it's for the benefit of the Night's Watch!"

Wen Qimo rubbed his chin with one hand, thinking, "That's true... Over the years, each Night's Watch team has only been active in their own city, and rarely encounters such collective activities. Holding one occasionally will also be beneficial to the overall cohesion."

"Qi Mo."

"Um?"

"I'm going to quit Team 136!" Hongying said firmly.

Wen Qimo rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Forget about it. Even if you want to quit the team now and let me recruit you, you won't be considered a newcomer... We definitely can't go to this celebration."

Hongying screamed and lay on the table in loss, as if she had lost her soul.

"...If you want to go so much, why don't you just give Qiye a call? He is the commander-in-chief now. It would be easy for him to arrange an extra spot for us, right?" Wen Qimo said.

"That won't work. Qiye is the commander-in-chief after all. If we always ask him to open backdoors for us, it will affect his prestige." Hongying immediately rejected this proposal.

She looked at the other young people, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke with a painful look on her face:

"Let's give this opportunity... to the young people!"

Wen Qimo nodded. "There are seven members in our team now. We need two people to participate... Jia Shasha, Zhen Xiaoyi, you two go."

At this time, a boy and a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old looked up blankly.

"us……?"

"Yes." Wen Qimo said as a matter of course, "One of you is a newcomer who came last year, and the other is a new recruit who just graduated from the training camp this year... It's just right for the two of you to go."

Hongying blinked, leaned close to Wen Qimo's ear, and whispered:

"Shasha is timid, and Xiaoyi is shy and afraid of strangers. Are you sure it's okay for them to go to such a big event by themselves?"

"That's why we need more experience." Wen Qimo said seriously, "Besides, Qiye is the commander now. With him around, are you still worried about anything happening to them?"

"That's true..."

Hongying nodded, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly took out several large bags of dumplings from the refrigerator and placed them in front of Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi.

"I almost forgot. I made a special portion of dumplings for Qiye during the Chinese New Year last year and have kept it. You can bring it to him when you go to the celebration this time. Tell him to come back for dinner more often when he is free." Hongying clapped her hands and said.

Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi looked at each other and asked cautiously:

"Sister Hongying... who is this Qiye you are talking about?"

"It's the current commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Lin Qiye!" Hongying said as a matter of course.

This young and ignorant boy and girl took one look at the pile of frozen dumplings in front of them and they were struck by lightning!
