Yasho is a very adaptable demon.
When he was a child, he could sleep soundly even if he buried himself in the sand.
But this does not mean that Yaxiao has no pursuit for where he lives. On the contrary, the little devil who grew up in hiding really hopes that he can have a very beautiful and safe house.
However, the buildings in this world are very ordinary, and Yaxiao did not originally have high expectations for his temporary residence.
Until this moment, looking at the gloomy villa in front of him - beautiful, safe, and better looking than some of the big demons' castles he had seen!
It was definitely his dream room!
Yaxiao felt touched in the heart, his blue eyes widened like a cat excited to see a new toy, and he got off the aircraft eagerly carrying his suitcase.
The villain's taste is so good!
Seeing Yaxiao's undisguised excitement, Mist felt a little complicated: it turns out that there really is someone with the same weird aesthetic taste as the Marshal.
It’s just that the Marshal likes such a gloomy house because of his childhood experience. This boy who seems to have a sunny personality without a trace of gloom likes this style. Maybe it’s... innate
But it’s a good thing that the other party is not afraid of living here.
Mist thought as he entered the password of the villa and led Yaxiao in: "The Marshal is still at the front line and will not be back for a few days."
When mentioning the villain, Yaxiao's attention was immediately diverted from the beautiful villa.
The villain Qin Qi is the imperial marshal and also the commander of the sixth base. Every once in a while, he leads his men to the front line to kill the demon insects.
It's normal to be away from the base at this time.
Yaxiao was distracted as he listened to Mist's introduction of the villa. "Fresh ingredients will be delivered every morning at 7 o'clock. I have sent you the operating instructions of the nanny robot and the password of the villa. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly on the optical computer."
"I will hand over the Marshal's various schedules to you in the next few days." Mist said, handing the document he had been holding to Yaxiao, "This is the Marshal's possible taboos at the moment, you can analyze it yourself."
Looking at the young man who still looked a bit immature, Mist paused for a moment and said, "A large part of the reason why the previous housekeepers passed away was that they left the base without permission."
"The border base is different from the central city and the second-tier base. It is closest to the front line, and there are a lot of demon bugs outside the base."
Mister seemed to recall something, and his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses showed a bit of coldness, but he quickly dispersed his emotions and whispered: "If Yaxiao wants to go back to the central city one day, be sure to inform me in advance."
He currently has a good impression of Yaxiao. No matter from which aspect, Mist doesn't want anything to happen to him.
"good."
Yaxiao took the document and nodded obediently.
He was different from the previous butlers and had no plans to return to the central city, so naturally he would not find it difficult to accept.
Mister was very pleased with the new butler's cooperation. He smiled and said, "The marshal is away these two days, so some schedules can be postponed, but tomorrow's banquet cannot be postponed. I'll trouble you to attend on behalf of the marshal."
"Tomorrow's party?"
Yaxiao paused and searched for relevant words from the book, but there were only two or three sentences and they were not detailed.
"Yes." Mist explained, "As the butler, you need to show up on behalf of the marshal. I have prepared the gifts. All you have to do this time is show up on time."
"The schedule is tight, don't be nervous, it's just a wedding banquet."
Mist didn't think the experienced butler could make any mistakes.
Yaxiao nodded.
After sending Mister away, Yaxiao recalled the plot.
Bhutto is not an important character, and the book only hints at her by saying that she was badly injured when she attended her first banquet at the base.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this wedding.
As for the reason, Yaxiao remembered that it should be a riot caused by the taboos getting out of control.
Taboo? Yaxiao's eyelashes drooped slightly, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head and put the matter behind him, looking around with a bit of appreciation in his eyes.
After entering the villa, he found that the decoration inside was even more attractive to the devil than the outside.
There are several lizard specimens hanging on the mural in the living room. The light in the villa is not dim, but it exudes an inexplicable chill against the backdrop of the surroundings. The winding stairs extend quietly upwards, and the huge villa is so depressing that it makes people feel breathless.
Yaxiao: Wow, I like it very much.
He skipped to the second floor with his suitcase. According to Mist, he could choose any room on the second floor except the marshal's.
The devil never wrongs himself.
Yaxiao went through a round of selections before finally choosing a room he liked the most, which happened to be next to the villain's bedroom, making it convenient for him to absorb demonic value.
The room was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was gloomy. The carpet, curtains and bed were all depressing black and gray. The paintings on the wall were distorted in style. The more Yaxiao looked at them, the more he liked them. His tail behind him swayed in the air a few times.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Yaxiao released his tail, and the two small black horns on his head also appeared.
The tip of the tail, which was glowing with a faint blue light, was slightly raised, indicating that the devil was in a good mood.
He sat cross-legged on the carpet and opened his suitcase, which was filled with odds and ends, or rather, Yaxiao's treasures in this world.
A skull toy that makes an evil sound when you put your hand on it, a black ball alarm clock with a long tongue and a pitch-black body, a hellhound figurine with three heads... These are the things Yaxiao has collected in the past half month.
Of course, there were also a lot of gadgets that had nowhere to be put, so he threw them into the system warehouse.
The things in the suitcase were all his recent purchases.
Yaxiao wagged his tail and placed these strangely shaped, but very cute little things in the room he was about to move into.
The originally gloomy room seemed more "warm" with the addition of these little guys. Yaxiao nodded with satisfaction and then took out his favorite mask.
The smile on the mask was exaggerated.
The mouth outlined by white lines stretches behind the ears, which makes it look even more evil against the black background of the mask, making people who see it feel creepy.
"What a kind smile."
Yaxiao commented with admiration in his eyes.
The tail behind his suit pants swung faster.
A friendly and sincere smile can always make a deal go more smoothly. This is the consensus of the demons who are good at equal-value transactions.
The success of the first transaction made Yaxiao like the mask in his hand more. After thinking about it, he did not put the mask out, but put it back into the suitcase with care.
The suitcase is produced by the system mall.
Unless it is him, no one else can open it.
Although this room belongs to him, for Yaxiao, who was a low-level demon not long ago, caution is his instinct. Until he is sure it is absolutely safe, Yaxiao will not put on his favorite mask.
After finishing organizing all the treasures, Yaxiao's eyes fell on the documents placed on the bed.
This is the information Mist gave him.
It is said that there are taboos for villains here.
Yaxiao wagged his tail and reached out to take the document.
Although they know most of the information about the villain, due to authority issues and the protagonist's perspective, what they know is very limited. If they want to be a good butler, they need to collect more information.
According to the book, the villain has many taboos, some of which have not even been discovered, which means that almost no one can be fully qualified to be the villain's butler.
Yaxiao pondered and flipped through the documents. He found that these were all what he knew from the book at the beginning. He even knew more than these materials. So Yaxiao threw them aside.
"Fourth uncle."
[I am here.]
After the system went into hibernation, it felt much better. When Yaxiao spoke, it immediately turned on and responded.
Yaxiao's eyes curved, "Please pull out the original plot and let me take a look."
[Okay.] The light ball in the sea of consciousness adjusted the reading glasses on his face, directly called up the plot of this world, and projected it in front of the host.
This world had been badly damaged in the past, and some data was missing, but it did not pose much of a hindrance to their current understanding of the plot of the original book.
The 401 system didn't know why the host proposed to review the world's plot, but it always trusted Yaxiao and never questioned Yaxiao's judgment.
The tail behind Yaxiao was shaking, as if he already knew the target. His fingers kept swiping across the projected plot, and after skipping a certain node, he finally saw the plot he wanted from a certain section.
[After Qin Qi died, Qin Chen went to sort out his belongings. The funny thing was that there were not many of his things in the villa that belonged to Qin Qi. Even the sundries left by the foreign housekeepers were more than Qin Qi's.]
Qin Chen, the younger brother of the villain Qin Qi, is also one of the main characters, but that’s not important.
The villain employed four butlers before his death.
Bhutto was the last butler, and the "several" mentioned in the plot means that the sundries of the previous butlers were also kept in this villa.
Logically speaking, after the previous housekeepers died, their belongings should have been dealt with, but it is possible that things like miscellaneous items were overlooked.
Yaxiao thought for a moment and said, "Fourth Uncle, can you help me find out if there is a utility room in this villa?"
[OK.]
The system used the detection program to check the villa, and finally said: [There is a room under the stairs on the first floor. ]
It paused for a moment and said: [Host, are you going to look for the things those stewards left behind? ]
Anything that can be placed in a utility room is probably not very important.
Yaxiao was naturally aware of these things, but he also remembered that shortly after the protagonists sorted out the relics, they talked about the contents of the diary of the villain's first butler. Combined with the context, there might really be the diary of the first butler in that pile of miscellaneous items.
After giving a brief explanation, he got up and went to the utility room downstairs to search.
There were a lot of things in the utility room, but Yaxiao had good eyesight, and with the help of the system's detection device, he actually found a notebook similar to a notepad.
After blowing away the dust on it casually, Yaxiao flipped it open. It was full of handwritten words. Yaxiao had not yet fully mastered the words in this world, but he could roughly understand the meaning of the sentences:
[On January 3, Marshal Qin was reading alone in his study room when his TH value suddenly soared, reaching the dangerous range and nearly losing control. No triggering factor was found in the monitoring.]
[On January 4, Marshal Qin's behavior was the same as yesterday, and this time he did not lose control.]
[On January 5, the behavior was clearly the same, why did it get out of control again this time? Why?! ]
[On January 6, Marshal Qin behaved the same as yesterday, but he did not lose control. What did I overlook...]
It's really hard to understand.
The system looked at the diary and swallowed its saliva. It was indeed a villain, confusing everyone.
Generally speaking, the taboos of the taboo holders are easy to grasp. For example, Sauron is the taboo holder numbered BFN10. The smell of pungent odors will make him lose control. In order to prevent himself from losing control, he can control himself by wearing a gas mask.
But for types like villains, there is simply no case to refer to in this world.
The system was somewhat skeptical as to whether the decision it had made with the host to become the marshal's steward was the right one.
You must know that the main responsibility of the butler in this world is to assist the taboo person and prevent him from losing control. If the host has not been able to successfully assist the villain, he may be dismissed soon.
Compared to the system's worry, Yaxiao was in a good mood after taking a look and confirming that this was the housekeeper's diary.
After sensing the system's emotions, Yaxiao was quite optimistic: "Fourth Uncle, so many people don't know what the Marshal's taboos are, it's normal to have one more person like me. As long as we avoid the known taboos, they won't fire me for this."
System: It seems so.
As long as you can't find any mistakes.
The tail behind Yaxiao shook. He was very much looking forward to meeting the villain. He really wanted to grow bat wings.
At the same time, Mist left the villa and stepped into the top floor of the military base headquarters. Soran was processing documents in the office.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Soran raised his head and said in a slightly cold voice under the gas mask: "How is it?"
Mist thought of the scene not long ago, was silent for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "Well, he likes the style of the Marshal's villa very much."
Soran: …
what do you like
