"I will be responsible for investigating the news about Crow Step."
After leaving the Marshal's office, Mist took off his gold-rimmed glasses, pinched his nose, and his brows showed a bit of fatigue:
"Wei Li has received news that Sheng Cheng has woken up."
Soran nodded in understanding: "Leave it to me."
Sheng Cheng holds important intelligence, and they must pry some useful information out of the other party.
The two brothers stood outside the corridor and simply handed over their work. Mist looked at Soran, whose face was covered by a gas mask and who was as silent as usual, and his heart suddenly felt bitter.
As soldiers, they had long since put life and death aside. On the day that Soran became the adjutant of the marshal, he rarely spoke much. He said:
—One day, I will die on the battlefield, which is the pride of the taboo.
If there hadn't been a mysterious person, perhaps Soran would have really died near an entertainment venue without anyone knowing.
How ironic it is for a taboo person whose mission is to kill demonic insects and protect humanity.
And he might never see this follower again who has been with him since childhood.
Mist put on his glasses again to hide the coldness in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Forget it, let's switch jobs, I will be in charge of Shengcheng."
"Can."
Soran nodded indifferently. He was used to Mist's impulsive personality and reminded him, "Be sure to record Sheng Cheng's information well."
Mist saw this and was about to hook Soran's neck and say something, but when he turned around, he saw the figure in a tuxedo at the end of the corridor. "Yaxiao, are you here to see the marshal?"
Mist withdrew his hand, greeted Yaxiao with a smile, and pointed to the door, "The marshal is inside now."
"OK."
Yaxiao curled his eyes and just walked over to knock on the door when he was stopped by Mist.
"Yaxiao, there is something I haven't told you yet. Your assistant Sheng Cheng has had some problems and has been dismissed." Mist did not specify what Sheng Cheng had done wrong, but said:
"When we return to the Sixth Base, I will help you choose a new housekeeper assistant."
Yaxiao looked a little surprised, and seemed puzzled as to why the assistant who had submitted work reports to him yesterday suddenly resigned today.
There was a hint of hesitation and entanglement in his eyes, and his lips moved as if he wanted to ask something.
Mister was prepared. Yaxiao had thought highly of Sheng Cheng before, so it was normal for him to want to know more about the situation now. He was just about to give a few simple remarks to get by.
The black-haired, blue-eyed young butler in front of him seemed to realize something and shut up. After a moment, he smiled and said considerately, "Okay, but Emily and Witdin are enough for my assistants. There is no need to choose anyone else."
Sure enough, the butler who could win the favor of the marshal was very smart. Yaxiao's attitude really made Mist feel relieved.
Although the marshal did not intend to keep this matter secret, it would not be good for the butler to know too much.
"Then we'll talk about it after we return to the Sixth Base."
Mister smiled at Yasho.
"good."
Yaxiao nodded. After watching the two lieutenants leave, he raised his hand and knocked on the door of the office in front of him, while thinking to the system in his mind:
[Fourth Uncle, the villain doesn't seem to intend to hide Sheng Cheng's affairs.]
[Ah? No? ]
The system was fanning itself with a data palm-leaf fan in its sea of consciousness and drinking tea in a rocking chair, and was a little confused when it heard these words.
Didn’t Mist just explain in detail the reason why Sheng Cheng resigned? How could the host say that the villain had no intention of hiding it
Yaxiao didn't mind the system CPU running too slowly, and analyzed it carefully: [If the villain wanted to conceal Sheng Cheng's affairs, Mist wouldn't have shown such a tangled expression just now. ]
Although Mist is usually amiable, if the villain had really issued an order to keep his mouth shut, he would never show his emotions on his face and easily let himself notice that something was wrong.
Hearing the host say this, the system suddenly realized: [Host, you observe very carefully. ]
[Of course.]
Yaxiao wagged his tail proudly.
But why didn't the villains plan to block Sheng Cheng's news? It would be bad if the club knew about this.
Or, did Qin Qi want to let them know on purpose? Before Yaxiao could figure it out, there was a noise from inside. He didn't think about it anymore and pushed the door open and walked in.
In the room, Qin Qi was leaning on a chair, kneading his simulated eyeballs with his left hand. Light shone through the window, and a little light shone through the gaps between his eyelashes. The man had an indifferent expression, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Marshal, do you want to eat now?"
This was the time when Qin Qi was having a meal, and after the meal, he had to attend a joint meeting.
Yaxiao asked with a curved mouth.
"Being not."
Qin Qi did not refuse.
Yaxiao understood, and he moved closer to Qin Qi to absorb the demon value. Thinking about what happened just now, he couldn't help but be curious about Qin Qi's real thoughts at the moment.
What does the villain want to do
I don’t know if what he is going to do has anything to do with the ‘adult’ I heard about in the club
Perhaps it was because Yaxiao's gaze was too intense, Qin Qi turned his head slightly and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Yaxiao was very good at taking advantage of others. He nodded and asked curiously, "Marshal, what happened to Sheng Cheng?"
"Didn't Mister tell you when he was outside just now?"
Qin Qi asked calmly, he knew that the two had talked outside the door for a long time.
"I didn't ask."
Yaxiao said obediently. After all, as the instigator, he knew exactly what Sheng Cheng did last night. Now he asked Qin Qi more because he wanted to observe the villain's attitude.
Why didn't you ask Mist, but asked yourself
The butler is indeed very courageous.
Outside of work, Qin Qi treats ordinary people much more leniently than he treats his own soldiers.
However, most ordinary people who were really close to him were afraid and could not notice the slightest changes in Qin Qi at all.
Seeing the other party's expectant blue eyes at this time, Qin Qi felt a little strange, as if in the other party's eyes, as long as he asked him, he would definitely get the answer.
Qin Qi knew why Mist didn't take the initiative to tell Yaxiao about this.
Yaxiao is just an ordinary housekeeper. The less he knows, the safer he is.
Qin Qi didn't want to drag Yaxiao into this matter. He retracted his gaze, put the simulated eyeball back into his pocket, and said casually: "Sheng Cheng violated military discipline."
Yaxiao said "oh" and stared at Qin Qi intently, waiting for the next words. Unexpectedly, Qin Qi said after a moment of silence: "I'm hungry."
Huh? Is this the end
Yaxiao looked a little confused.
Qin Qi seemed to have given an answer, but also seemed to have said nothing. Yaxiao had no way of knowing what he was thinking from these few words.
But he was not too disappointed. After all, Qin Qi was always good at concealing his emotions.
As expected of a villain! So cautious!
Ya Xiao secretly praised him, and without thinking any more, he said in a somewhat excited tone: "Okay, Marshal, I will go prepare breakfast for you now."
Qin Qi hummed lightly, and he looked at the butler's back as he left, and lowered his eyelashes.
That's enough.
This matter has nothing to do with the housekeeper, as long as those who should know know it.
Time passes by little by little.
Before the joint meeting began, marshals from several bases sat down at the round table one after another, and the cameras were not turned on for the time being.
"Hey, have you heard about this?"
Marshal Delbo of the First Base rested his chin on his hand, holding a strawberry-flavored nutrient solution that he got from somewhere. His peach blossom eyes looked affectionately at the marshals around him, and his voice ended with a long tone that carried a bit of mystery that aroused curiosity.
Marshals Wen Bol and Lu Chuanxi of the border base did not say anything, not wanting to pay attention to the marshal of the second-line base who was deliberately keeping things in suspense.
Marshal Cheng Di of the Second Base covered his ears and trembled, muttering, "Don't say it, shut up, nothing good comes out of your mouth, and I won't listen even if you say it."
The marshals at the joint meeting were more boring than each other. Delpo sighed, and his charming eyes dimmed a lot. He seemed to be heartbroken by this group of colleagues: "Don't you have any curiosity?"
"whats the matter?"
The oldest Marshal Gwen was very considerate of his colleagues. Although he was not interested in things outside of work, he still asked with a stern face and understanding.
Delbo's eyes lit up, and his tone was filled with the excitement and joy of meeting a confidant: "Senior Gerwin is still the most considerate! He is worthy of being the first among our marshals to start a family and have a child as a good father!"
After being flattered by this bunch of flattery, Gwen suddenly didn't want to listen to what the other person was saying anymore.
Delpo and his father are really blood-related father and son, and both of them love to tell meaningless nonsense and jokes.
Gervin knocked on the table and urged, "If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible."
"All right."
Delbo was originally praising Gerwin, but when he heard what he said, he naturally stopped talking without feeling embarrassed at all, and even chuckled a few times. "It's about Marshal Qin of the Sixth Base."
As soon as Marshal Qin said these three words, Wen Bol and Lu Chuanxi at the border base were the first to raise their heads.
Qin Qi is a member of their border base, so he naturally stands on the same side as them. If Delporti mentioned other things, it would be fine, but if the other party mentioned Qin Qi, then things would be unusual.
"Marshal Delbo's hand is really long."
Wenbol was the most impatient. He had his blond hair combed back and said in a sarcastic tone, "You know something that we at the border base haven't even heard of yet."
"There's nothing we can do about it, right?"
Delbo shrugged and smiled helplessly: "You know, I love collecting information. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."
The last sentence is not without provocation.
Wenbol gritted his teeth, leaned back in his chair, and said with a fake smile: "Then tell me what good news you know."
The atmosphere at the round table suddenly became much more solemn.
Cheng Di's face was pale, obviously frightened by such a confrontational scene. He curled up his legs in the chair, wrapped his arms around his head, and muttered something.
None of the marshals present cared about Cheng Di's thoughts at this moment.
Under the close stares of several colleagues, Delbo still had a smile on his face. He shrugged his shoulders without any nervousness and said slowly: "Nothing, I just heard that another officer was executed at the Sixth Base last night."
"What kind of news is the execution of an officer?"
Wenbol thought the other party was going to reveal some earth-shattering secret, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter.
He glanced at Delbo mockingly: "I just don't believe that you have never executed officers who violated military discipline?"
Lu Chuanxi also lowered his head, seeming to find the news from Delbo boring.
Cheng Di, who was trembling beside him, also looked much more pale. When he saw the indifferent reactions of the marshals at the border base, he breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer as afraid as before.
It was Gwen who frowned.
"But what I heard is that the crime he committed was assassinating the marshal." Delpo's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone seemed somewhat meaningful.
"Aren't you curious about why wave after wave of people want to assassinate Marshal Qin? I'm so curious."
"Okay, then Delbo, you can die in peace. I will remember to burn incense at your grave every New Year and other festivals."
Before Delbo could finish his words, Vista came in lazily from outside.
Also coming in was Qin Qi himself, who was at the center of the topic.
“That’s really too much.”
Delbo did not feel the embarrassment of being caught saying bad things. He smiled and pointed at Westa with his finger in the air, then turned to look at Qin Qi:
"However, Marshal Qin, why don't you explain it yourself?"
Being assassinated one after another would have a huge negative impact on the reputation and prestige of Qin Qi and other marshals, and would easily cause panic among the people if one is not careful.
Marshal Gerwin, the oldest, looked at Qin Qi and frowned: "Delbo is right, Marshal Qin, do you know what the purpose of those assassins is?"
"Is it because Marshal Qin did something wrong?"
Marshal Cheng Di saw that this matter was not simple, his voice trembled a little, his face turned pale again, his right hand covered half of his face in fear, and he spoke very quickly, it was almost impossible to hear what he said:
"No, how can the Marshal do something wrong? Qin Qi, why don't you resign? Otherwise you will be killed. The assassins are too scary. In order to survive, you should resign quickly before they come looking for you again!"
Cheng Di's terrified and sharp voice echoed in the conference room.
Several marshals from the border base, including Wenbol, Lu Chuanxi and Westa, leaned heavily on their chairs, looking a little annoyed.
"Don't tell me that useless nonsense!"
Wen Bol slammed the table and looked at Cheng Di with an unhappy expression. He had never agreed to let a lunatic like Cheng Di be the marshal. He was so annoyed by his chattering.
"How could Qin Qi know the purpose of those assassins? Instead of wasting time, we might as well talk about how to reduce the impact." Westa sneered.
Lu Chuanxi followed up with, "That's right. Those who dare to assassinate the marshal are all crazy. Who knows what they are thinking?"
It was obvious that they formed a united front to protect Qin Qi.
However, Qin Qi, the person involved in the topic, did not say anything.
His eyes swept across several marshals, some anxious, some worried, some impatient... Every marshal behaved very normally. Qin Qi walked to his seat and sat down, and finally his eyes fell on Delpo, the one who instigated the topic.
"Sheng Cheng, the officer you mentioned who was executed, is currently detained in our base."
Qin Qi placed the document in his hand on the table and let several marshals pass it around.
"Here's his blood test report."
"Is there something wrong with his blood test report?"
Wista was rarely serious and took the document with a frown on his brow.
The white blood cell count was reduced, the red blood cell density was abnormally high, and all the values were very strange. With just one glance, Wista could tell that this was a blood routine report for a contraindicated person who was out of control.
“Sheng Cheng is just an ordinary officer, not a taboo person.”
"impossible!"
These words were said by Wenbol. There were many taboo-holders in their Fourth Base, and he knew all the data indicators of the taboo-holders by heart.
But as soon as he finished his rebuttal, his face darkened. Wen Bol knew that Qin Qi would not deceive them with such an easily exposed lie.
"Sheng Cheng's blood is abnormal and an immune rejection reaction occurred after testing. It is initially suspected that he has undergone professional body modification." Qin Qi's voice was steady and his face did not change. He was not affected at all when narrating.
After hearing what Qin Qi said, all the marshals present looked a little grim.
If it was just an assassin, it would be fine, but it involves human body modification and the mastery of technology they have never been involved in, which is obviously no trivial matter.
Qin Qi's eyes swept across the expressions of each marshal, raised his hand and knocked on the table, his tone calm:
"I will continue to investigate Sheng Cheng. As for his blood, I will inform you once the research team has the specific analysis results."
"Can we have the meeting now?"
The several marshals present were still stuck in the matter of human body transformation. There was nothing they could do as the demon insects were not peaceful during this period.
Now, unknown human body modification has emerged. If the purpose of that group of assassins was only to target Qin Qi, it would not be a big deal.
The fear is that the other party is targeting all human bases.
"Okay, let's talk about this in private."
Vista nodded at Qin Qi.
Delpo, who had started the topic, said no more. He took a sip of the nutrient solution, and glanced at Cheng Di who was shivering beside him. He smiled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, little Cheng Di. The assassin is not targeting you now. If you are still afraid, my arms are super warm now."
"roll."
What Cheng Di was least afraid of was Delbo. He pulled the corner of his mouth, trying to make Delbo shut up.
Delbo shrugged, his expression somewhat regretful.
Noticing Qin Qi's gaze, Delbo slowly turned his head and smiled at him, as if asking him what he was looking at.
Qin Qi withdrew his gaze as usual, as if it was just a casual glance.
However, Wenbol, who was sitting next to Qin Qi, noticed the other party's gaze. What annoyed him most was that Delbo blinked his amorous peach blossom eyes and looked around.
After flirting with Cheng Di, now he wants to look for targets in their border bases
That's ridiculous.
Wenbol combed his golden hair back and said sarcastically:
"Look at that, you faggot."
Delbo's smile suddenly froze on his face.
At the same time, Yaxiao, who was attending the Butler Representative Conference, tilted his head slightly.
Ariel seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable. She looked a little uneasy since coming here during the day, and would glance at her from time to time.
"Yaxiao, an officer on your side was arrested, right?"
Taking advantage of the break, Ariel finally found an opportunity and pulled Yaxiao to an empty corner, but of course, it was not empty.
Not far away, Emily was standing nearby with an unhappy expression, staring at them intently.
At present, she has not received any order to arrest Ariel, and can only watch the ignorant Yaxiao hanging out with the assassin woman with evil intentions.
"Yes."
Yaxiao remembered that the villain didn't intend to hide this matter, so he nodded truthfully and asked in confusion: "Ariel, do you know Shengcheng too?"
"do not know."
Ariel forced a smile and shook her head. She tucked the hair on the side of her face behind her ears and made up an excuse: "I just heard people at the base talking about this during the day, so I was curious."
"Oh." Yaxiao didn't seem to doubt it. He nodded and said affirmatively: "Don't listen to what others say. Our base is very good. Sheng Cheng was locked up this time because he violated military discipline."
"I hope the lieutenants can correct his bad habits this time."
Ariel nodded, showing that her curiosity was satisfied. She smiled and pushed Yaxiao's arm, saying familiarly: "Okay, I just asked casually. Now go back quickly, the meeting will continue soon."
The two walked out side by side.
Emily stood up straight as she watched Yaxiao and the woman approaching.
The sub-portrait was found to be nothing.
He shook the tail hidden in his trousers and said to the system:
[Fourth Uncle, Ariel already knows about Sheng Cheng's situation. Guess what the organization's reaction should be now? ]
[Not clear.]
This is no longer within the scope of the plot. In the original plot, Sheng Cheng simply patted his butt and ran away. It is completely different from the current situation. Even the system cannot predict what will happen next.
Yaxiao also couldn't guess what the organization would do. He curled his eyes. The news spread so quickly, and Qin Qi must have been involved. The devil was really looking forward to how things would develop afterwards.
However, regardless of whether the organization wanted to remain inactive or escape quickly, Yaxiao felt that as a member of the organization, he had to get involved.
This is the sense of responsibility of being a member of an organization!
Thinking about this, Yaxiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Fourth Uncle, please help me again!"
[What?]
The system is a little confused.
Night falls.
It was pitch black in the basement.
Sheng Cheng looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his whole body was wet. He huddled in a corner of the basement, gritting his teeth with a sinister look in his eyes.
The Sixth Base had more methods than he thought.
Mister looks well-mannered, but he is actually crueler than anyone else. If anyone else had gone through the torture just now, he would have been skinned alive if not killed.
Fortunately, I am different.
Having been pampered by that adult, I can always regenerate as long as my blood does not dry up.
Sheng Cheng huddled in the corner with his arms around his knees, laughing nervously, staring at his palms fanatically, and licking his dirty palms gently with his tongue.
He is expressing his ardent and sincere love for the god who created him.
[Shengcheng.]
The voice in my ear was low and magnetic, as gentle as if it was calling my beloved lover.
The adults are here to see me!
Sheng Cheng's body suddenly stiffened and he began to tremble uncontrollably. He half-knelt on the ground, as if he had thought of something. He staggered to his feet and bit his palm, as if he had observed everything. His sharp nails extended and he quickly destroyed all the surveillance in the basement.
"My Lord, I am now..."
Before Sheng Cheng could finish, the man interrupted him and said sympathetically: [I know, no need to say more, don't worry, I will rescue you.]
Sheng Cheng had no doubt about what the master said. Gratitude and guilt kept pouring out from his chest. His throat was sore and his eyes were red. He said guiltily: "Master, I, I am really sorry for you."
[No need to say more.]
The voice beside my ear responded gently: [But before I save you, Sheng Cheng, I need you to do something for me. ]
"I will do my best to complete your orders!"
Sheng Cheng quickly responded.
[Everything you did was instructed by Marshal Delbo of the First Base.]
[Disclose this matter secretly.]
"Delbo? But... But, that's not..."
Sheng Cheng was flustered for a moment, then suddenly realized something. He nodded firmly: "Yes, sir, everything I did was instructed by Marshal Delbo."
The host asked him to come back and monitor Sheng Cheng. Who would have thought that Sheng Cheng would go crazy, licking his palms without feeling dirty, crying and laughing, and talking to himself from time to time:…
Well, luckily it was recorded quickly.
The retired system is still as responsive as ever!
