In the plot, Sheng Cheng helped the protagonists a lot, and the protagonist Wei Shi also learned a lot about the Sixth Base from him.
According to the clues the protagonist had, Sheng Cheng did not lie, but he was still a little wary of Sheng Cheng.
Sheng Cheng should also be aware of this, so even though he would hang out with the protagonists later on, he never had any intention of fitting in and was in a state of being free from the beginning to the end.
There is something quite strange about Sheng Cheng.
Yaxiao sighed again, raised his hand to touch his ear bone clip, and contacted the system again:
[Fourth Uncle, if you know anything about the organization Sheng Cheng wants to join, please tell me as soon as possible.]
[OK!]
The system raised its reading glasses, stared intently at Sheng Cheng who was taking a shower, and said firmly: [Host, don't worry! I will tell you as soon as I have any news! ]
Although my fourth uncle is old, he is still very reliable in doing things.
Yaxiao cut off contact with the system and began to think about the spring meeting.
The Spring Meeting will officially begin after the marshals from the seven bases have arrived in the central city.
In just one month, the prosperous central city seems to be on the eve of a storm. The forces hidden in the darkness are treacherous and changeable, silently brewing a bigger storm and disaster. The protagonist Wei Shi and his companions will seize this opportunity to find out the truth about the destruction of the Seventh Base.
But these have nothing to do with Yaxiao.
As a "weak" butler, he only needs to serve his employer well. The only special thing is that he has to attend a butler representative conference.
It couldn’t be more ordinary.
The next day, Yaxiao straightened his appearance in front of a full-length mirror, making sure there were no wrinkles on his black tuxedo and that every part was decent and perfect before leaving the room and knocking on the villain's door.
Today, the marshals from the border base have all arrived in the central city. According to the upcoming schedule, the villain should go find his allies to exchange feelings.
"How many marshals from the second-tier base have arrived?"
Qin Qi looked down at the butler who was buttoning his clothes.
Yaxiao had naturally checked these information early in the morning.
"Marshal Delbo of the First Base and Marshal Cheng Di of the Second Base have both arrived at the Central City."
Yaxiao recounted the situation of the two second-tier bases, raised his blue eyes and looked at Qin Qi: "Marshal, do you want to meet them?"
According to previous data, the Marshal would only take the initiative to meet with the three allies at the border base the day after arriving in the central city.
But now he was asking him whether the second-line base had come to the central city, which surprised Yaxiao.
Qin Qi's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, he rejected the proposal: "Forget it."
"OK."
Yaxiao could feel that Qin Qi was probably thinking about something. He recalled the original plot but couldn't find any clues. After all, the plot was advanced from the perspective of the protagonist, and there was no detailed description of what happened to the villain.
"Are you going to meet the steward representatives of the central city and the second-tier base this afternoon?" Qin Qi suddenly asked.
Yaxiao came back to his senses, his blue eyes curved, and he nodded affirmatively: "Yes, we agreed to meet at five o'clock in the afternoon. You should be in a meeting at that time. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be back after your meeting is over."
"Um."
Qin Qi raised his eyelids and said in a light voice: "Take Emily with you and stay away from the representatives of the second-tier base."
Ariel, the steward representative of the second-tier base, is an ally pried out from the assassin gang of the fifth base.
Qin Qi did not explain why he wanted Yaxiao to stay away from Ariel. The housekeeper was very smart and this reminder was enough.
Yaxiao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Qin Qi to say this to him.
You have to know that Qin Qi kept Ariel because he wanted to expose the power behind her. In order to prevent Ariel from noticing something was wrong, it was the best decision for Qin Qi not to remind Yaxiao.
Now Qin Qi took the initiative to keep Yaxiao away from Ariel.
"OK."
Yaxiao looked up at Qin Qi's dark eyes and realized that the villain was concerned about him. He suddenly felt some indescribable emotions in his heart, but on the surface he nodded obediently: "I will try my best to avoid being alone with Ariel."
Qin Qi calmly withdrew his gaze, hummed, and left the room with the butler.
The spring meetings have not yet officially begun.
But the first step into the central city is already stepping into a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. Qin Qi knows this better than anyone else.
Yaxiao could feel the oppressive feeling surrounding the villain. He sensed it carefully and felt relieved after confirming that this negative emotion would not cause his TH value to fluctuate.
Well, it's safe.
The next thing is to protect Sauron. If Sauron dies, the villain might violate the taboo and lose control just like when Victor was shot.
Of course, Victor's death will cause the villain to lose control, but this is just Ya Xiao's guess about the original plot and cannot be confirmed.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Emily knocked on the door. Yaxiao said something to the villain, left the office, and took the hovercraft to the place agreed with the other two butler representatives.
"Do you know who those two butler representatives are?" Emily stared ahead, holding the steering wheel. She felt a little itchy when she thought that one of them wanted to kill the marshal.
Yaxiao's two housekeeper friends, Yan Chi and Burton, both told me relevant information.
His blue eyes were thoughtful: "Ariel and Chen Chen, right?"
Chen Chen is the butler representative from Central City.
"Just so you know."
Emily didn't know much about these two butler representatives. After all, the Sixth Base had never had a butler as a representative before.
"Yaxiao, you don't need to have a very good relationship with them. Just be able to save face. When the butler representatives hold a meeting, the three of you with different positions will be your competitors."
“Don’t be patient with them.”
Emily was equally wary of all bases except the Sixth Base, and always felt that they would bully Yaxiao, a simple-minded child.
"Okay."
Yaxiao nodded.
There was no plot related to the butler representatives in the original book, but when Yaxiao thought that there was an Ariel who had ill intentions towards Qin Qi, he became quite interested.
When they arrived at the agreed location, Ariel and Chen Chen were already seated.
Although Ariel is the steward representative of the second-tier base, she is not the steward of a certain marshal, but the steward of the adjutant of the marshal of the first base. This is enough to show her extraordinary ability.
The slim-fitting black butler uniform outlines her graceful figure. Seeing someone coming, Ariel stood up politely. Her temperament is gentle and quiet, like a quiet forest lake under the moonlight, which makes people feel good about her.
Chen Chen, who was standing next to him, was an elderly white-haired butler who looked quite serious. He looked at Yaxiao and nodded, "Hello."
Yaxiao also greeted the two of them politely, and after a brief self-introduction, he sat down.
The three agreed to meet at a coffee shop.
The purpose of this meeting was to allow several housekeeper representatives to get familiar with each other in advance. Of course, since Ariel and Chen Chen had both served as housekeeper representatives for several years and had known each other for a long time, the so-called mutual familiarity was only aimed at the new housekeeper representative, Yaxiao.
Emily didn't get too close to them, sitting alone at the bar, glancing at the three from time to time.
"I originally thought that the steward representative of the border base would be Burton as before." Ariel looked at the young steward in front of her, with just the right amount of curiosity, and said gently:
"You must be a very good housekeeper."
Yaxiao likes to hear others praise him, and said modestly: "Many people have said so."
Ariel was stunned for a moment and then chuckled. Like an older sister next door, she gently pushed the cake that was farther away from Yaxiao towards him.
Yaxiao blinked and said nothing.
Ariel next to him seemed to think that Chen Chen's words were too utilitarian. She kept smiling and spoke in the same gentle tone as before: "Mr. Chen, it's not a waste of time for us to come here to bond. In addition to serving our employer, proper rest will also improve ourselves."
"Extra rest time makes me feel like a waste of life. We are just competitors."
If Chen Chen doesn't give Ariel face, he will be like a brick, stubborn and inflexible. Every wrinkle on his brow tells of his unkindness.
"It's a real rock."
Ariel had a headache, and then showed a friendly smile to Yaxiao, "But this is also his excellence, but Yaxiao, you are still young, don't listen to him, relax, although we are competitors, we can also be good friends in private."
Yaxiao looked at Ariel who was trying to get close to him and smiled innocently and brilliantly: "Okay."
Time passed little by little. As they had to take care of their employers, the three butlers did not chat in the cafe for a long time. Instead, after drinking a few cups of coffee and adding their computer numbers, they left one after another.
"Emily, let's go."
Yaxiao seemed to be having a very pleasant chat with the two housekeeper representatives, his eyes were always curved.
Emily didn't know that the marshal had already reminded Yaxiao to stay away from Ariel. She recalled the scene of their happy conversation just now and scratched the back of her head in annoyance: "Let's go."
The matter of the assassin cannot be leaked. Ariel probably won't take direct action to deal with Yaxiao for now. It will not be good for her. Let's leave it like this for now, but Yaxiao and Ariel must not be allowed to be alone together for the next two days.
In order to avoid any accidents, Emily made a decision in her heart.
At the same time, Ariel left the cafe and got on her own hovercraft. She tore off her bow tie, took out a cigarette from the drawer next to her and put it in the corner of her mouth. Her gentle expression was gone, replaced by fierce indifference.
The optical computer beeped twice.
A thin man appeared on the screen, his eyes covered with white gauze, as if he had just undergone eye surgery.
"Sister, how is it?"
"I can't tell anything at the moment." Ariel thought of Yaxiao's behavior in the coffee shop just now, frowned and said, "This is not surprising. Even if Qin Qi knew that I was an assassin, he would never tell this to the housekeeper who he had only known for three months."
"Just in case, I won't be going to the club anytime soon."
Ariel and some of her companions had already made plans to kill Qin Qi at the fifth base, but before the plan could be implemented, she suddenly could not contact her companions.
It was obvious that they were all caught.
Ariel was not sure whether her companions had betrayed her, but she was reluctant to give up her current identity.
With his position, he could do many things in secret. If he ran away directly, their plan to kill Qin Qi would only become more difficult.
"Okay, sister, you should be careful too."
The man with his eyes blindfolded trusted Ariel very much and nodded without any hesitation.
When Ariel heard these words, her fierce and sharp eyebrows softened a lot. Compared with the gentleness in the coffee shop, although she didn't smile at this moment, she looked more real.
The optical brain is turned off.
The interior of the hovercraft was filled with smoke. Ariel put out the cigarette in her hand, her eyes filled with a desperate madness.
No matter what, she would make Qin Qi be buried with the Seventh Base.
On the other side, the four marshals from the border base had just finished their meeting after gathering together, and Qin Qi sat in his seat without moving.
Wista had a few words with Wenbol, who had provoked him as soon as he came to the central city. When he was about to leave, he noticed this and raised his eyebrows. He didn't even bother to knit a scarf and asked curiously, "Why? Do you have a meeting next?"
"Um."
This is the conference room allocated for the Sixth Base. Qin Qi and his subordinates also hold meetings in this conference room.
"Wow, you're really busy."
Westa felt the same way. Although being a marshal was indeed very busy, it was rare for someone like Qin Qi to have one meeting after another.
"Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?" Wenbol beside him said sarcastically.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave first." Qin Qi was not interested in listening to their nonsense.
"Qin Qi, be polite!" Wen Bol felt offended.
"Fine."
Westa consciously did not want to disturb the busy Qin Qi. He put away his scarf and pushed Wen Bol, who was angry about that remark, out of the meeting room.
After the marshals left, two adjutants, Mist and Soren, walked in from outside.
"How about it?"
Qin Qi looked at the two of them.
Mist's eyes were calm under his gold-rimmed glasses. He nodded and then reported, "We detected that Ariel mentioned the club again when she returned to the hovercraft and talked to a man."
"Combined with the information sent by the Marshal of the First Base, it seems that they have accomplices scattered throughout the so-called club."
"Have you found the location of that man?"
Qin Qi's voice became cold.
"We are targeting a night club in the red-light district of the central city. According to the information, the club has no restrictions on identity or age, as long as you have money, you can join. This is the norm in the central city clubs."
"I have sent people to collect his past movements and other information."
"Um."
Qin Qi sat on the chair, his eyes fixed on the documents that Mist had placed on the table. His expression was obscure and difficult to read. After a while, he said, "Sauron, go investigate this club, and don't reveal your identity."
"yes."
Soran's dull voice came out from under the gas mask.
On the other side, Yaxiao was still on his way back.
An indistinguishable androgynous voice suddenly sounded in his mind: [Host, Sheng Cheng has taken action. He was reading in his room when he suddenly muttered something in a low voice, as if someone had issued him some orders.]
Yaxiao was stunned for a moment, remembering the communication chips on the arms of Elder and his men at the Fifth Base.
Could it be that Sheng Cheng also had a chip implanted
No, the reason why Elder and the others were able to implant the chip without being discovered was because they were not military officers. But Sheng Cheng was an officer even though he was a civilian, and he had to undergo physical examinations every day when he entered and left.
So how did Sheng Cheng receive the order
Yaxiao asked curiously in his heart: [Fourth Uncle, did you hear what Sheng Cheng muttered? ]
[He was ordered to join a club.]
The system concluded: [You need sufficient funds to join that club. Sheng Cheng is now trying to find a way to join that club.]
[Oh.] Yaxiao thought that this club might be the normal organization in the protagonist's story. He curled his eyes and said, [Fourth Uncle, I am very interested in that organization.]
The system was not surprised at all. Just as it was about to say that we should sneak in tonight, before it could finish its words, it heard the host's excited voice the next second:
[I wonder if I can join that club?]
system:
Yaxiao said tactfully: [Shengcheng should be very happy to be in the same club with me. ]
