The rules and regulations of the Sixth Base are extremely strict.
Especially for the taboos of heroes, every rule almost restricts their freedom. In contrast, there are very few incidents of taboos getting out of control in the Sixth Base.
According to regulations, before the banquet begins, each taboo person will undergo a physical examination and are not allowed to bring any weapons into the venue. Medical staff in white coats will also check their condition at any time.
"Major Zhang Ping, Major Golan, the test is passed."
The curve of the instrument screen at half the height of the human body fluctuated, and an electronic sound rang out indifferently.
"Do you feel that there are many more officers on duty at the banquet today than before?"
Zhang Ping had an ordinary face and seemed to have a good personality. He glanced at the guards hiding in the corner and ready to fight, and smiled at his friend in a friendly manner, "I remember there weren't so many people in the queue before."
Golan didn't care. He just came here to have a meal. There weren't many people and it wasn't his turn to be on duty. "The marshal should be here. Don't you remember? Didn't the forbidden person get out of control at the previous wedding banquet?"
"I guess it's because of that."
Goran was very dissatisfied: "That damn thing brought by the Fourth Base, I don't know why he suddenly took off his goggles, it's really weird, and he caused us to be punished."
Zhang Ping said a few words of comfort in a good temper, and when he turned his eyes, they met the gaze of a brown-haired officer not far away. It seemed like just an unintentional glance, and the two of them quickly looked away.
Soon.
The noise around him gradually increased, and the blood in Zhang Ping's body seemed to surge along with it. Feeling his heart beating violently, Zhang Ping lowered his head patiently and continued to comfort his brainless companions. They had to be patient.
At the same time, Yaxiao, who was sitting in the hovercraft, heard the system's tip-off:
[Host, two assassins have sneaked into the meeting hall. ]
[Okay, Fourth Uncle.]
Yaxiao's eyelashes trembled slightly. After cutting off the connection, he turned to look at the villain who was reading a book nearby.
Qin Qi was always focused on what he was doing, but Yaxiao's gaze was too obvious. He said calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Marshal, you must be careful at the banquet."
The tip of Yaxiao's tail swayed slightly, and he said seriously, "When I first came to the base to attend a wedding banquet, a taboo person lost control. Fortunately, no one was injured. This time it's a banquet inside our base, but we must be careful."
The black-haired boy seemed to care a lot about Qin Qi in front of him. Even though the other party was the most powerful being in the base, he would still care about his health and worry about him getting hurt.
Qin Qi looked down at the slender boy, his beautiful blue eyes filled with pure and sincere worry. He stared for a moment, then looked away and hummed softly.
"I will."
Hearing this, Yaxiao felt relieved. He smiled brightly, then stopped disturbing Qin Qi and sat up straight.
Qin Qi turned his attention back to the book, but he couldn't understand a single word after reading it for a long time.
He was still not good at accepting other people's kindness, or rather, he was not used to the care given to him by a fragile being like Yaxiao.
He doesn't deserve it.
After getting off the hovercraft, Mist was guarding the parking area of the venue. Yaxiao followed Qin Qi, waiting for him to enter the venue after his physical examination. Almost at the same moment he stepped into the venue, the originally noisy venue suddenly became so quiet that no sound could be heard.
All the officers in black uniforms present straightened, turned and saluted in unison. They clenched their fists and placed them on their right chests. The black mass made people feel nervous. Qin Qi nodded slightly at them, which was like a signal that the solemn and tense atmosphere was instantly gone.
The noise started again.
Yaxiao looked at the crowd thoughtfully. When he caught a glimpse of a figure in the crowd, his eyes curved and he waved slightly in that direction.
"Do you know anyone there?"
The adjutant Mist next to him was a little curious.
Qin Qi, who was standing in front of him, seemed uninterested in this matter and kept walking.
"Um."
Yaxiao nodded and said, "Sheng Cheng was over there just now, I said hello to him."
Mister also had some guesses in his mind. After all, Yaxiao only knew a few people at the base. He raised his gold-rimmed glasses and responded with a smile:
"Emily and Witdin are also at the party. If you get bored later, you can look for them."
"Um."
Yaxiao thought that he might not have time, but on the surface he still obediently agreed to the task.
On the other side, after Qin Qi and his group came in, Sheng Cheng shrank into a corner and deliberately reduced his presence to avoid attracting other people's attention, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Who would have thought that the housekeeper boss who followed Qin Qi and frequently exploited him would actually look over at this time. As they looked at each other, a bad premonition came to his mind, and then Sheng Cheng saw the other party waving at him in a friendly manner.
Qin Qi is a pillar of the base, so naturally many people pay attention to his butler. As soon as Yaxiao greeted him, everyone's eyes were vaguely directed towards him.
Why the hell are you saying hello to me?! We are not that close!
Sheng Cheng waved to Yaxiao naturally on the surface, but he felt a little overwhelmed inside.
He was thin and looked unhealthy, and as a civilian officer, his presence was not strong, so those eyes looked away after a few glances. The incident was quickly settled, but it still made Sheng Cheng break out in a cold sweat.
But now many officers remembered his appearance. Sheng Cheng lowered his head, looking timid and weak again.
The two subordinates looked over from time to time.
Sheng Cheng seemed not to notice, but secretly cursed him in his heart, "What a fool!" The most urgent matter now was Qin Qi, so what was he going to do? !
Fortunately, those two idiots were not hopeless. After a few seconds, they returned to normal and hid in the crowd.
That's good.
Sheng Cheng concealed the red smile in his eyes and said, "Take it slow. There will be no problem with their plan."
At the same time, the system was reporting Sheng Cheng and the two assassins' every move to Yaxiao at any time.
[There are currently no unusual movements among the people. ]
Yaxiao wagged his tail, responded to his fourth uncle in his heart, and without stopping, he followed Qin Qi into a room on the second floor.
It was a bit noisy inside when we entered.
The elderly Victor was sitting on the sofa with a cane. His butler, Collender, was beside him, anxiously advising Victor: "Old man, the clothes you are wearing are dirty. How about changing into another one?"
He didn't even know where Victor found this dress, and he didn't explain why. He just kept saying that he liked it and wanted to wear it.
"This military uniform I have here is clean and beautiful, and it suits you especially well. Do you think it's okay?"
"no."
Victor glanced at him without explaining.
The black military uniform worn by the elderly lieutenant general must be quite old and tattered. The golden medals on the shoulders were heavily worn and some were even dented.
Qin Qi's eyes fell on the dress, his long eyelashes obscured the expression in his eyes, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Yaxiao felt that Qin Qi's mood seemed a little strange, and it was obvious that the clothes on Victor's body had something to do with Qin Qi.
It doesn't seem like hate, nor does it seem like disgust.
Yaxiao thought for a moment, walked to the butler Collender, and whispered in a low voice: "It's Chief Victor's birthday today, and he should spend this day happily."
Qin Qi, who had been silent all the time, glanced at Yaxiao and said nothing.
Collender was a little hesitant when he heard this.
Although Victor on the sofa was old, his ears were still very sensitive. He looked at Yaxiao with satisfaction and said to Collender, "Yes, I am happy to wear this."
What could Collender say? Of course he agreed.
"You're a good kid."
Weiduo smiled lovingly at Yaxiao, then looked at Qin Qi who had been silent. His wrinkles seemed to have increased. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just said, "It's time, let's go down."
Qin Qi took action at this time. He took the initiative to walk to Weiduo's side and held his arm:
"Let's go."
"Do you know how to talk now?"
Victor sounded unhappy.
"Um."
Victor was choked, but Qin Qi smiled slightly, not too obvious but very real. At this moment, he was just like an ordinary junior.
Yaxiao was about to follow, but just as he took a step, he heard the system's voice: [Host, Assassin No. 1 Zhang Ping went around the bathroom window to the courtyard! ]
The forward movement stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Qi glanced at Yaxiao.
"Marshal, I need to go to the bathroom."
The young butler seemed a little embarrassed, his eyes were apologetic and his ears were slightly flushed.
Qin Qi hummed lightly and helped Victor walk down.
The birthday party process at the base was very simple. The gifts that the officers sent to Victor to wish him a happy birthday were recorded in the book early on. After Victor finished his speech, the officers under him began to act freely.
Victor, the protagonist of the banquet, was surrounded by everyone and chatted with. Qin Qi Xijing stayed in the corner with his adjutant Mist.
The atmosphere at the Sixth Base was solemn and cold.
Only when a banquet is held will the tense atmosphere be relaxed.
Sheng Cheng huddled in a corner and watched all this. His eyes swept across the brown-haired officer who was chatting with someone in the distance. The raised wine glass hid the smile on the corner of his mouth.
His blood was not drunk in vain.
The accident happened suddenly at the happiest moment of the banquet.
The brown-haired officer Clay, who was chatting and laughing with others, suddenly had blood spurting out of his body, and the scarlet blood splashed everywhere like a fountain.
As if the life force had been sucked out of him, the adult man of normal weight suddenly became so thin that only bones were left. He fell to his knees, his skin was cracked and black, his spine was hunched and protruding, and his eyes were abnormally scarlet.
"Shit! Clay, what's wrong with you?!"
Clay, who was kneeling on the spot, didn't seem to be surprised at all. He laughed wildly, his smile stretched behind his ears, so distorted and exaggerated that it made people feel creepy.
In the blink of an eye, the strange man suddenly disappeared.
"He's not in the right state!"
“High alert!”
That is obviously not the state of a person out of control.
The well-trained officers quickly came to their senses after a brief moment of confusion, and the guards on duty immediately raised their weapons to search for the unknown existence.
With a loud bang, the wall was broken and debris flew everywhere. The officers were shocked. The next second, they saw Clay, dying and spitting blood, in the dissipating dust. The powerful and indifferent marshal stood in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at Clay condescendingly.
"Are you going to assassinate me?"
Is Clay seeking death? Dare to assassinate the marshal
The officers present thought in shock.
At the same time, Sheng Cheng, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at Clay, who was spitting blood and crawling on the ground trying to attack the marshal, but didn't even touch the corner of the other's clothes. Instead of being dissatisfied, he became more excited.
He certainly wouldn't expect that kind of idiot to hurt Qin Qi. From the very beginning, Sheng Cheng's target was not Qin Qi.
Sheng Cheng shifted his gaze to Victor who was being protected by everyone, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's now!
After drinking his own blood, Zhang Ping possesses extremely strong shooting skills, and can even penetrate walls!
Now everyone's attention is attracted by that idiot Clay. This is the best time. As long as Victor dies, he can verify his guess and even seriously injure Qin Qi!
Quick! Zhang Ping!
quick…
Where did Zhang Ping go?!
Sheng Cheng was confused.
＊＊＊＊＊＊
In the blind spot of the courtyard, Zhang Ping looked at the unknown existence, collapsed to the ground, and retreated using his hands and feet.
The sound of footsteps came softly.
Zhang Ping was trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear. He had clearly drunk the blood and his body had turned into a monster, but why... why was he unable to fight back against this person!
"do not come!"
Zhang Ping screamed and shot him.
The bullet that should have hit him right in the middle of his forehead and penetrated the wall was still caught easily.
The bullet landed.
The black bat wings with a faint blue glow flapped, casting a black shadow on the ground.
The man who looked like a young man stood there, his long hair braided into a scorpion braid hanging down to his waist, and he tilted his head slightly.
The black and white clown mask outlined a twisted and exaggerated smile, like a demon born from hell. He said in a friendly tone: "You can't assassinate the marshal."
"I'll be angry."
