After identifying Sheng Cheng's two killer companions, Fourth Uncle, under Yaxiao's arrangement, kept a close eye on their actions.
As the banquet approached, the two killers became more and more vigilant. Coupled with the ambiguous text on the computer, Yaxiao was more certain that the location of their operation would be Commander Victor's birthday party tomorrow.
Tomorrow
Yaxiao thought, no matter what, he would definitely not let the villain get hurt.
The two assassins were both officers with the rank of major. If I was not mistaken, they should have been able to sneak into the banquet openly.
[Host, what should we do now?]
The system is quite nervous.
Yaxiao did have a few ideas. He sighed, his tone was regretful: [The easiest way is to kill them in advance. ]
But like Sheng Cheng, the two killers were military officers and it was too troublesome to kill them.
For now we can only take it step by step.
Yaxiao followed Qin Qi to the military headquarters as usual, but this time when Qin Qi was working, he did not go to the lounge, nor did he try to pressure Sheng Cheng, but instead found his adjutant Mist.
Mister was a little surprised to see Yaxiao. He had a good impression of Yaxiao and showed a genuine smile under his gold-rimmed glasses. "Is there something going on with the marshal?"
"no."
Yaxiao shook his head, seeming a little embarrassed, "Actually, I want to ask about tomorrow's banquet."
"banquet?"
Mist was not surprised by Yaxiao's question.
Tomorrow is Commander Victor's birthday party.
Nowadays, the average human lifespan is around 200 years. This is the first time that Commander Victor, who is 150 years old, is holding a birthday party, and the entire Sixth Base attaches great importance to it.
You have to know that Commander Victor is a close friend of the Marshal’s grandfather and is also a hero with countless merits. Many off-duty officers in the base will participate.
Yaxiao's tail was wrapped around his legs, and he exerted force. His face turned red because of the pain. He looked up at Mist, as if it was difficult to speak. After struggling, he hesitated and said, "Actually, I want to ask about the security of the banquet."
He was worried that Mist might misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, "I'm not doubting the safety of the Sixth Base. It's just that when I attended a wedding banquet last time, a taboo person suddenly went out of control, so I wanted to ask about the situation this time."
"The marshal will go this time, too."
When Yaxiao mentioned the marshal, his expression became much more serious, and his blue eyes were filled with pure light, "I am worried about the marshal's safety."
"I know."
Mist looked at the black-haired boy who was anxious to explain, and hurriedly spoke out to comfort him. The incident of the forbidden person losing control happened two weeks ago, and the boy's pale face from fright was still vivid in his mind.
That incident must have left a deep psychological trauma on the young man, so he was worried that another accident might happen at the party.
Mist patted Yaxiao on the shoulder and didn't think that the other party was underestimating the ability of the Sixth Base.
In other words, since Yaxiao cared so much about the Marshal's safety, he was happy to see it happen.
"I'll let Soren take care of this."
This banquet was just a birthday party for officers within the Sixth Base, so there was almost no possibility of any accidents. However, since Yaxiao had brought it up, in order to reassure the housekeeper, Mist decided to let his brother go.
This is also for the Marshal's safety.
"Soran is very serious about his work, there won't be any accidents."
"That's good."
Yaxiao smiled with relief, and his tail wagged a little.
Mist did what he said. After Yaxiao left, he sent a video call to Soran and asked him to be responsible for Victor's safety.
"Is this what Yaxiao said?"
On the screen, Soran's dull voice came from under the gas mask.
"Yes." Mist showed a relieved smile on his face: "Yaxiao is very concerned about the safety of the marshal and came to tell me."
The young butler did not feel afraid after seeing the marshal's alienated state. Instead, he tried hard to adapt to everything, overcome his previous shadows, and wanted to help the marshal.
The other party is an excellent butler and really admires the Marshal.
Soren hummed.
The two lieutenants looked at each other across the screen. They should have been very happy to see such a development, but in fact, there were still unspeakable worries buried deep in their hearts.
Because of the suppression of the potion, the Marshal's taboos have not been out of control during this period. No one knows whether the new butler will still accept the Marshal and continue to be the Marshal's butler when the Marshal's bizarre taboos continue to get out of control.
On the other side, after coming out from Mist, Yaxiao looked down at the laptop and went straight to Qin Qi's office. Now was just the right time to chat with the villain.
After turning the last corner, he saw Collender standing at the villain's door from a distance.
Collender was the new butler that Yaxiao met in the butler's lounge a few days ago. He was also the butler of Commander Victor, the protagonist of tomorrow's birthday banquet.
"Yaxiao, my employer is talking to the marshal inside."
Noticing Yaxiao's presence, Collender lowered his voice and called Yaxiao, "You two have something important to discuss."
Yaxiao swung his tail behind him, sensed it a little, and after confirming that the villain was still alive and well, he smiled brightly at Kollend, "Okay."
Collender felt very sorry for the boy in front of him who looked very sunny but unfortunately became the marshal's butler. Seeing that the boy was standing next to him, he was about to say a few polite words when he saw a little curiosity in the eyes of this handsome boy:
"Collender, I heard that the hall for Chief Victor's birthday banquet was decorated particularly luxuriously?"
Compared to the slightly relaxed atmosphere of the two butlers outside the door, the atmosphere in the office was much more depressing.
Qin Qi sat in the upper seat, his head slightly tilted, an unburned cigarette between his black-gloved fingers, his eyes dark and gloomy, he didn't say a word for a long while, as if silently expressing his attitude.
The coffee in the cup was steaming.
Weiduo looked at Qin Qi, as if there was something stuck in his throat, unable to move up or down. He angrily knocked on the floor with his cane:
"You and your grandfather are of the same character!"
"This Sixth Base is not yours alone! It's fine if you want to protect the base by yourself, but you have to tell us what happened!"
Qin Qi did say something this time. He put out his cigarette and said casually, as if he was treating his grandfather, "It's your birthday tomorrow. Guess what gift I'm giving you?"
"I don't care what gift you give me!"
Victor was so angry that he laughed. He was just like his grandfather. Even changing the subject was so awkward.
The old man stood up, leaning on his cane and angrily walked towards the door, but he stopped halfway, his tone was slightly heavy, revealing a strong sense of sadness: "I'm not kidding, Qin Qi."
"We all know what's going on with the other border bases. It's because of you that the Sixth Base has been preserved for so many years, but you're just one person."
"Everyone gets tired sometimes. Can you protect this base for your whole life?"
The emotion in Qin Qi's eyes was difficult to discern.
There was no response from the office for a long while.
Victor clenched his cane, and just as a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, the man's deep voice rang out:
"I thought about it and decided not to tell you in advance what my gift is."
Victor: …
He now wished he could use the crutch in his hand to beat this unfortunate thing.
The door opened and closed.
After the old man left, the room suddenly became quiet. Qin Qi took out another cigarette, but he didn't know whether he forgot or for some other reason, he didn't light it.
Victor angrily slammed the door with his crutches. Two butlers were standing outside. In addition to his young butler who had poor business skills, there was also a handsome black-haired boy in a tuxedo.
The boy has slightly curly hair, porcelain-white skin, a bright and sincere smile, and bright eyes. You can tell at first glance that he is a good kid.
Is this Qin Qi’s new butler
As Victor was thinking, he saw the black-haired boy smiled at him, greeted him without any awkwardness, then knocked on the door and walked into the room.
"Why don't you speak, Lieutenant General?"
Collender asked doubtfully, according to convention, shouldn't the old man complain about the marshal at this time
"How's the kid?"
Collender was puzzled for a moment, then realized that Victor was talking about Yaxiao. He nodded and said, "Well, Yaxiao is quite lively and has a good personality."
It's just a pity to be the marshal's butler.
Of course, Collender didn't dare say this.
"As long as you have a good personality."
Although Victor was pissed off by Qin Qi, he still cared about Qin Qi in his heart. The little butler looked like a good kid, and he really hoped that Qin Qi would have a butler with whom he could get along well.
When Yaxiao entered the office, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Qin Qi, especially that he was smoking! You know, villains only smoke when they are in a bad mood!
Not to mention the cigarette is not lit yet!
The effect of ZYZ5 lasts for fifteen days, which means that no matter what happens to the opponent during this period, he will not lose control.
Just don't lose control.
Yaxiao thought about it, then walked to Qin Qi's side considerately, took out a lighter, wagged his tail and gently asked for credit: "Marshal, you forgot to light your cigarette, I'll light it for you."
I thought the smart housekeeper would say nothing and just stand quietly beside him. Qin Qi:…
Qin Qi finished the cigarette in silence.
He took a sip of the coffee poured by the butler and glanced at the young butler who was still in a good mood. He suddenly felt that the new butler was sometimes not that smart.
Yaxiao, who knew nothing about this, was happily earning demon points. When he was taking care of his tail at night, he had the energy to think about how to deal with tomorrow's assassination.
At present, there are limits to what he can do. He can only remind Mist and the others to pay attention to safety issues. It would be best if they could stop those killers, but he knows that the possibility is not high.
If the killers really sneak into the banquet hall at that time, in order to prevent the villains from getting hurt, Yaxiao must have a way to deal with it.
In fact, he still hadn't figured out how those two not-so-powerful assassins managed to injure the villain.
Now Fourth Uncle is still monitoring the two assassins.
Yaxiao thought about it and opened the system mall, scrolled to the bottom of the mall, and looked at the product with confusion.
[Big Demon Experience Voucher], also known as the Dream Experience Voucher, allows low-level or mid-level demons to experience transforming into high-level demons for one day.
This kind of experience voucher is very useless in Yaxiao's opinion. It can only change the appearance. Even if it can make the devil grow bat wings, it is just a decoration and cannot fly at all. It also requires a lot of points. The cost-effectiveness is not even better than his cute toys. It is purely cheating the devil!
In the past, Yaxiao was too lazy to even look at it.
But if an assassination really happens tomorrow, he can use the experience voucher.
When a mid-level demon is upgraded to a high-level demon, the demon can choose to reshape its appearance.
Yaxiao raised his hand and directly bought the [Big Devil Experience Ticket], then he took out the clown mask that he treasured in his suitcase.
When the time comes, you can use this experience voucher to change your clothes, put on your favorite clown mask, and protect the villain from the assassin.
This way the villain won't get hurt, he's not dealing with an officer but an exposed assassin, no one will cause trouble for him anymore, and even if he gets into trouble, no one will know that he is the culprit!
Kill two birds with one stone!
The tail behind Yaxiao swung proudly.
