The Demon Butler Is Still Motivated Today

Chapter 49

Soren stayed in the club all night.

On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the news in the club and complete his mission, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find that mysterious man.

However, he did not see the young man until the club closed in the early morning.

"Are you sure the young man you saw last night was the mysterious man?"

The next morning, Mist placed the documents on the desk, his tone filled with doubt and solemnity.

In order to avoid being noticed by the club, Soran did not bring a micro camera with him last night. If he made a mistake, it would cause great trouble to their subsequent plans.

Qin Qi sat in his seat, raised his eyelids and looked at Soran who was reporting on his work in front of him. His calm eyes made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Sure."

Soran's dull voice came out from the gas mask.

From the marshal to the ordinary soldiers in the Sixth Base, everyone is extremely strict with themselves. As an adjutant, Soran has never missed a day of training in judging people.

Not to mention, on Victor’s birthday, Soran had personally witnessed the mysterious man’s back at the base, and the other party had left a very deep impression on him, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be wrong.

Mist's face darkened when he heard this. Up to now, they had only met the mysterious man twice. Although the other party's final actions seemed to be in their favor, the identity and purpose of the mysterious man were unclear, and it was still unknown whether he was an enemy or a friend, which really made people worried.

Now that the man has appeared in the club with ill intentions, it is even more difficult for them to guess the other party's thoughts.

It's impossible that he was sneaking into the club to investigate the situation on their behalf

This is impossible even if you think about it.

"How's the situation at the club?"

The two adjutants were still immersed in complicated thoughts when Qin Qi spoke up to break the silence in the air.

On the table was a simple hand-drawn diagram of the club.

Soran stood up straight and tapped the three red marks on the blueprint. "It has been confirmed that the layout of the club is strange. There are traps in these three places. It is initially suspected that they have a base underground in the club. Further investigation and verification is needed."

"Um."

Qin Qi's expression was a little dull.

Soran knew that this meant that the Marshal allowed him to go to the Dark Night Club again tonight for reconnaissance.

Mister stood quietly by the side, and waited until the two stopped before he interrupted: "Soran, have you seen Sheng Cheng in the club?"

Ariel's optical computer has been monitored by them all the time. Not long ago, Ariel and Sheldon revealed the existence of Sheng Cheng in their conversation.

Sheng Cheng from their base accidentally joined the club with his colleagues.

Mist did not doubt Sheng Cheng's intention, but was worried that Sheng Cheng would recognize Soran's disguise.

"No."

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Soran has been investigating the first and second floors of the club these days, but has not seen Sheng Cheng who is in the same base.

"Well, that's good." Mist said with a teasing tone, "Since we haven't met him, we don't need to seal Sheng Cheng's mouth for the time being."

The club's hidden murderous intentions are confidential, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Speaking of Sheng Cheng, Mist remembered that he hadn't seen Sheng Cheng's boss this morning. Since they had almost finished talking about business, he looked at Qin Qi:

"Marshal, has Yaxiao left?"

Mist remembered that the housekeeper seemed to have taken the whole morning off today.

"Um."

"Marshal, you haven't seen Yaxiao this morning. Don't you feel lonely?" Mist smiled. After all, the Marshal and Yaxiao have a very good relationship.

"Are you free?"

Qin Qi's expression did not change as he calmly asked back.

Seeing that the marshal didn't want to answer, Mister turned off the microphone in dismay, preparing to wait for Yaxiao to come back and tease him about this matter. He put away the documents on the desk and got into work mode: "No time, Marshal, I'll go deliver the documents now."

"Marshal, we should go now."

While Mist and the Marshal were talking, Soran had been quietly acting as a background board. He only spoke up to remind them when the meeting was about to begin.

"Let's go."

Qin Qi hummed and took the coat from the side.

He didn't care why Mist suddenly mentioned Yaxiao just now. After all, Mist has been acting weird in private for a long time.

As for the loneliness the other party mentioned, Qin Qi thought it was even more nonsense.

The housekeeper just took a few hours off in the morning; it wasn't like he wouldn't be seen for the whole day.

Moreover, the black-haired boy went out of his way to meet him and say goodbye before leaving. Qin Qi was not like the two adjutants, who had not seen Yaxiao all morning.

It is Mist who should feel lonely, not me.

On the other hand, Yaxiao had no idea that the villain had mentioned him during the meeting with his two lieutenants. He looked down at the address on the computer, then looked up at the relatively shabby office building in front of him.

Yes, that's right.

Yaxiao lowered his head and sent a message to Weishi, and soon there was a response from the other side of the screen.

[Okay, I'll send someone down to pick you up right away.]

Yaxiao curled the corners of his mouth, put away the laptop, waited for nearly five minutes, and saw a figure walking out of the door of the office building.

The man had a Band-Aid on his face and his muscles were bulging and knotted, looking like a debt collector hired by a loan shark.

Yaxiao looked at the other person walking towards him and compared his features with those of the main characters. If he guessed correctly, he was Axing, the main character Wei Shi's top little brother, who usually did odd jobs.

Ah Xing smiled at him, briefly introduced himself, and walked up with Yaxiao.

"Our office is a bit out of the way, so it's hard to find, right?"

Yaxiao shook his head. "It's not difficult. The map Weishi sent me is very detailed."

Ah Xing grinned and nodded, motioning Yaxiao to go up the stairs with him. The old stairs creaked as if they would collapse in the next second.

"The elevator in this building is broken. The company doesn't have much funding and hasn't had time to repair it yet. We can only let you and I climb the stairs."

"It doesn't matter."

Yaxiao knew about this a long time ago. In the original book, the protagonists often moved between several bases. In order to save money, they often rented shabby houses in remote places as studios, and it was common for them to have no money for repairs.

After stepping down the last step of the stairs, Yaxiao just arrived at Weishi’s office when a woman in rich clothes came out, wiping her eyes.

Yaxiao slightly turned sideways to make way for the other party.

The protagonist Wei Shi followed the woman and saw Ya Xiao. He smiled and walked in to greet her. Then he closed the door and explained, "I just had a client and couldn't come downstairs to pick you up."

The office building looks shabby on the outside, but the interior decoration is still very new. Of course, these brand new home appliances and tiles in the plot were all donated by the protagonist group's former clients.

As an all-around support agency, the protagonist group is never very wealthy and faces the threat of not being able to afford food at all times, but their network of relationships spreads across the seven bases and their connections are very extensive.

Yaxiao's eyes fell on Qin Chen, who was sitting in the boss chair reading a book. There was still a circle of gauze wrapped around his arm, and the other wounds seemed to have healed.

"He is Qin Chen, you should know."

Wei Shi introduced it when he saw this.

Yaxiao nodded.

Qin Chen sat in the chair without moving. Wei Shi had a gentle smile on his face, but when he saw his reaction, he whispered to Yaxiao, "Wait a moment." Then he rushed to Qin Chen with a gloomy face and dragged him to the cubicle.

When he came out again, Qin Chen's expression was a little stiff. He glanced at Wei Shi, who had a threatening smile on his face, and when he looked at Yaxiao again, his attitude was very different from before.

"Hello, my name is Qin Chen."

Yaxiao watched with great interest, and did not comment on their behavior just now. He politely introduced himself, "I am Yaxiao."

Wei Shi was satisfied and relieved. He invited Yaxiao over to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with him and talk to him.

Testing on the optical computer is never as convenient as face-to-face communication, and Wei Shi is not stupid. After a few days of communication, he can feel that although Yaxiao looks innocent, he will not easily reveal Marshal Qin's information.

But even so, they can't give up on Yaxiao easily.

Thinking of this, Wei Shi gathered his strength and said to Yaxiao with a smile: "Yaxiao, what do you want to eat for lunch? I am a good cook and can make anything you want. Even if I can't cook, I can still learn with the optical computer."

"Just mention it, you're welcome."

"No need." Yaxiao was still thinking about absorbing the demon value, but time was very limited. "I only asked for leave in the morning. I have to go back to the marshal in the afternoon."

"Didn't Marshal Qin allow you to rest in the afternoon?"

Wei Shi originally thought that he had a long time to communicate with Yaxiao, but he didn't expect that there were only two or three hours left. He instantly realized that time was running out, but he also knew that this was a good opportunity. He calmly followed the topic to inquire about Marshal Qin's movements.

"No, I want to stay with the marshal."

Yaxiao said truthfully.

Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that someone would love work so much that he didn't even want to take a break and just wanted to stay with the boss. He suppressed the thoughts in his mind and tried to continue to guide Yaxiao to say more.

However, just like chatting on the optical computer, every time Qin Qi was mentioned, the topic would unconsciously deviate to other places. Every time when Wei Shi reviewed the conversation, he could not find which step had gone wrong.

"Actually, I have something that I am very confused about."

Ya Xiangxiang thought about it for a long time before making up his mind to ask.

"What?"

Wei Shi was stunned for a moment and noticed that Yaxiao's eyes were looking at Qin Chen who was silent. It was obvious that Yaxiao's question was related to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen also had no idea what Yaxiao wanted to ask him, after all, they were not familiar with each other.

"That day in the fortress on the border, when you were seriously injured and taken away by Emily, you told me that if you stayed in the Sixth Base, you would die sooner or later. What did you mean by that?"

Wei Shi instantly realized that what Yaxiao was talking about should be the time when Qin Chen was seriously injured by Marshal Qin.

So Qin Chen had met Yaxiao that day? And he said something so inexplicable to Yaxiao

Qin Chen stared at Yaxiao's face, and then he remembered that this was the case. He curled his lips and said, "It means literally, don't you understand?"

As expected, he is the villain's younger brother.

Yaxiao felt a little itchy.

Wei Shi, who was standing next to him, heard this and poked Qin Chen with his elbow. He said with a fake smile, "If you can't speak, then don't speak for now."

Qin Chen covered his stabbed stomach and was speechless.

Wei Shi took over Yaxiao's words and said, "You don't have to pay attention to what he said. Qin Chen is a petty person. He must be holding a grudge against Marshal Qin for beating him up. What he said sounded like nonsense."

Yaxiao held the hot tea and nodded as if he had been convinced. Then he squinted his eyes and said, "So that's how it is."

Wei Shi looked at Yaxiao's expression and couldn't help asking, "What happened to Qin Chen in the fortress? He was too lazy to tell me what happened before."

At that time, they had just learned that the Marshal might have destroyed the Seventh Base, so Qin Chen ran out angrily. When he appeared again, he was covered with scars and his breathing was almost weak.

In the original plot, the protagonist Wei Shi was the same as he is now. He only knew that Qin Chen went to find the Marshal, and knew nothing else.

"What happened before..." Yaxiao seemed to be lost in his memories, organizing his words in his mind.

Qin Chen's cold face showed a rare trace of panic. He immediately stopped Yaxiao and said, "Don't tell them about this!"

"Shut up! Ah Xing, come here and look at him."

Wei Shi frowned and said something sternly to Qin Chen. It was so hard to get a chance to understand the situation at that time, and he couldn't be disturbed by Qin Qi.

Ah Xing, who was watering the flowers nearby, said "oh" and sat next to Qin Chen, gently placed one hand on his injured shoulder, and stared at him closely.

"Brother, please don't move. I don't know how serious my hand is. It will be terrible if I get hurt. We don't have money to see a doctor."

Qin Chen's face suddenly turned darker.

After dealing with Qin Chen, Wei Shi turned to Yaxiao and said gently: "It's okay, just talk, don't worry about him."

Yaxiao naturally didn't care about Qin Chen's thoughts. He seemed to be convinced by Wei Shi and nodded obediently, "I don't know much."

"After the marshal lost control, he beat Qin Chen up, and when the interrogation was over, Qin Chen was taken out of the fortress."

The marshal lost control and beat Qin Qi

Wei Shi was not surprised. He guessed that maybe Qin Chen forced Marshal Qin to reveal the truth about the Seventh Base, which caused the Marshal to suddenly lose control.

Qin Chen next to him still had a bad expression on his face, but when he heard these words, he breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. It was just okay like this.

However, Yaxiao did not stop. He seemed to have no idea what the two were thinking, and recalled what happened a few months ago:

"But later, after Qin Chen was released by the marshal, he broke into the fortress again and was beaten again."

It was at that time that Qin Chen met Yaxiao and reminded him that "if he didn't leave the Sixth Base, he would die."

"Breaking into the fortress again?!"

Wei Shi's expression was somewhat shocked. He looked at Qin Chen, not understanding why the other party wanted to break into the fortress again.

All of Qin Chen's affairs were revealed. He didn't want to say a word and his face was extremely dark.

Yaxiao felt that he had completed his task, so he curled up on the sofa and watched the show quietly.

"What are you doing at the base again?"

Wei Shi was obviously shocked by this incident and for a moment he forgot that Yaxiao was still around.

Qin Chen did remember that there were outsiders around, but what he had done was exposed. Although it was not an important matter, it was still embarrassing.

"I want to get something."

Qin Chen gritted his teeth and said vaguely.

"take things?"

Wei Shi was puzzled, but when he met Qin Chen's gaze, he realized what he wanted to take.

—The diary of Qin Chen’s grandfather.

There was very little information about the protective barriers at each base, and due to permissions, they were unable to find any information about the barriers.

When Qin Chen lived in the Sixth Base, he accidentally learned that his deceased grandfather, as the marshal of the Sixth Base, had recorded things about the barrier in his diary.

I think Qin Chen went to the fortress just for the diary placed there.

In fact, Wei Shi guessed correctly.

Qin Chen originally wanted to rely on his grandfather's diary to prove that even if his brother destroyed the base, he had his reasons and was innocent and just.

However, what he didn't expect was that not only was he caught red-handed by Qin Qi, but he was also beaten to a point of being on the verge of death, and he almost lost his life.

Considering that Yaxiao was present, Wei Shi stopped asking questions and turned to Yaxiao and said, "Thank you for telling me these things."

"It's okay." Yaxiao curled his eyes, "Many people in the fortress know about this. It's not a secret."

He naturally heard the entire vague conversation between Wei Shi and Qin Chen just now, and Yaxiao, who had also read the plot of the original book, quickly understood what they meant by "taking things".

Later in the story, the protagonists did manage to get something from the Sixth Base.

—The diary of Qin Qi’s grandfather.

What Yaxiao didn't expect was that Qin Chen had already taken action so early.

Qin Chen was determined to prove his brother's innocence, but was nearly beaten to death by the ruthless villain. Under such circumstances, it does not seem surprising that he felt dissatisfied and resentful towards Qin Qi because of the grievance and fear of his life hanging by a thread.

Yaxiao vaguely understood why Qin Chen wanted him to leave the Sixth Base as soon as possible.

Maybe Qin Chen was so angry because he was deeply hurt by his brother's actions

It was probably the same as what Wei Shi said not long ago, young people are impulsive, and Qin Chen might really have been speaking in anger at that time. Yaxiao's gaze swept across Qin Chen's dark face, which was gloomy because of the teasing.

"It's time. I have to leave now."

Yaxiao smiled at the other two people on the sofa.

Wei Shi was a little surprised. He realized that time had passed so quickly and they hadn't asked anything yet.

Unlike Wei Shi, Ya Xiao gained a lot. A big reason why he came to the office was that he was curious about what was in Qin Chen's mind.

At present, Qin Chen still subconsciously does not believe that his brother will destroy the Seventh Base.

Nor is it like in the second half of the story, where the character completely gives up on the villain and sets killing him as his goal.

Yaxiao understood this and his curiosity was satisfied. He curled his eyes and left with satisfaction.

Wei Shi and Qin Chen walked downstairs together to see him off.

Looking at the back of the black-haired boy walking away, Qin Chen's voice became deeper: "You can't get anything out of him."

After the conversation just now, he knew very well that the butler looked simple but was very cunning.

"I know."

Wei Shi sighed: "Maybe he has already tricked me into getting a lot of information without even realizing it."

No wonder he could become Marshal Qin’s butler at such a young age. Yaxiao is indeed an excellent butler.

"I will avoid too much contact with him."

"As long as you understand."

—Conference Building

When Qin Qi came out of the council hall, he saw the butler standing at the door.

"Marshal, I'm back!"

The black-haired boy's blue eyes sparkled like blue glass beads in the sun, beautiful and pure.

"Um."

Qin Qi took a quick glance and then looked away. The butler was in a good mood, probably because he had met friends in the morning and had a lot of fun.

"You don't have to rush back so fast."

Qin Qi didn't hate seeing the butler happy, nor did he mind letting the butler be happy for a while longer.

"But I want to see the marshal as soon as possible."

Yaxiao said truthfully that he had wasted too much time in the morning and had to replenish his demon value early.

When Qin Qi heard this, he suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart, and his ears felt a little hot.

His butler was always so enthusiastic, straightforward and honest, and never beat around the bush.

Qin Qi originally thought that he had adapted, but now he realized that he actually still needed some time.

Yaxiao was completely unaware of the diametrically opposite opinions between Qin Qi and the protagonists.

He worked diligently as a qualified butler beside Qin Qi, and returned to the room on time at 10 o'clock in the evening, planning to go to the club.

However, what Yaxiao didn't expect was that before he could use the Devil Experience Voucher, an indistinguishable electronic voice suddenly rang in his ears:

[Host! Sheng Cheng and Soran have both appeared at the club, and the distance between them is less than 200 meters! ]

[No, it’s less than a hundred meters now! ! ! ]

Yaxiao: ...coming back to life
