Sheng Cheng was immersed in the excitement of interacting with adults, and didn't know that even if he had destroyed the surveillance, there was still a being called the system, secretly hiding in the corner and recording his every move.
"Sir, there is a man named Crowstep in the organization. He ruined my plan. If it weren't for him, I should have killed Soran and escaped successfully!"
Sheng Cheng was worried that the adults would shut down the communication, so he quickly told them what he was most worried about and what annoyed him the most. He gritted his teeth and said, "That guy should be an undercover agent of the Sixth Base. The organization may not be able to be saved."
[I know, Shengcheng, don't worry. ]
The voice in my ear is like a spring breeze blowing past my ear, gentle and affectionate, as if whispering softly to comfort my lover.
[Crowstep? I will kill him to avenge you.]
His casual words revealed his strength.
Sheng Cheng was moved when he heard this. He clenched his fists, his body heated up with excitement, and he was trembling with excitement. However, he had to remind his master: "That Crow Step is ridiculously strong. Maybe even Qin Qi's adjutant Soran can't compare to him. You should be more careful."
There were faint sounds of footsteps outside the basement door.
Obviously, the officers watching the surveillance had already noticed something was wrong on his side.
Sheng Cheng immediately shut up and the adults also cut off contact. He huddled in a corner of the basement, staring at the door that let in a ray of light, his eyes gloomy yet with a hint of satisfaction.
The Lord will avenge himself, and these bastards must die!
Soon, the closed door of the basement opened wide enough for one person to enter and exit, and several officers came in one after another with weapons to check the surveillance and other places in the basement. Two of the officers walked up to Sheng Cheng and pointed their guns at him.
"what have you done?"
The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at Sheng Cheng's face and eyes threateningly, without any regard for the friendship of their former companions. From the moment Sheng Cheng was imprisoned, he and the entire Sixth Base were in a hostile relationship.
"I didn't do anything."
Sheng Cheng suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, but pretended to be depressed and fragile on the surface. He curled up in the corner, looking very pitiful.
Don't be impatient, be patient.
He had to find an opportunity to secretly push everything onto Marshal Delbo.
On the other side, Yaxiao also watched all the videos sent by his fourth uncle.
Thinking that Sheng Cheng had mentioned the name of his great demon form to someone, Ya Xiao raised his eyebrows and pointed at Sheng Cheng on the screen.
"Fourth Uncle, he reminded that adult to be careful of Crow Step. Does that mean that being will try to deal with me?"
[Probably.]
The system observed Sheng Cheng's reaction and felt that there was a high probability that the adult would take revenge on Yabu. At least that was what Sheng Cheng thought, otherwise he would not be so excited.
Wow.
Yaxiao was pleasantly surprised, and his tail, which glowed with a faint blue light, swayed a few times in the air. He was very much looking forward to it, and he said happily: "Then I will wait for him to come and play with me."
The system did not comment on the host's word "play". Well, the host probably really thought this was fun.
[Host, Sheng Cheng said before, 'Everything I did was instructed by Marshal Delbo.' It is obvious that that existence should be instructing Sheng Cheng to spread false information. What should we do? ]
"Ah? What should I do?"
Yaxiao was a little confused. After a few seconds, he realized that his fourth uncle was asking him how to clarify Marshal Delbo's misunderstanding.
"Uncle, Delbo has nothing to do with us, why should we help him clarify the truth?"
system:…
That seems to be true.
The other party is different from Adjutant Soran.
After Yaxiao came to the central city, he only met Delbo a few times behind Qin Qi. They never even spoke to each other and were not familiar with each other at all.
Even in the plot, Delbo only appeared a few times. Yaxiao's impression of this marshal was not as deep as his impression of Lu Chuanxi of the Eighth Base, so naturally he would not want to do anything troublesome for the other party.
Furthermore, he had no evidence to prove that Sheng Cheng was telling lies. The video recorded by his fourth uncle could barely be counted as one, but it was difficult to explain to others where the video came from.
Sensing Fourth Uncle's inner struggle, Yaxiao's eyebrows curved, "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, the villain is very smart."
"If Delbo is really innocent, Qin Qi will definitely not easily believe Sheng Cheng's lies."
[OK.]
The system was convinced and stopped thinking: [Host, are you still going to the organization tonight? ]
"go."
Yaxiao nodded and opened the mall panel, intending to buy another Great Devil Experience Ticket: "I heard from Ariel this morning that they should have learned about Sheng Cheng's news. I wonder what the organization is going to do next."
There has been no movement in Crowstep's optical brain until now.
Yaxiao is not sure for the time being whether the legendary adult has told the organization about Crow Step and whether he has decided how to deal with Crow Step.
This was so interesting that Yaxiao couldn't wait to stand up. He really wanted to meet that adult.
"Let's go, Fourth Uncle!"
Yaxiao's blue eyes were sparkling and he was eager to try.
[Okay, host.]
-Inside the club
The intense and exciting music was deafening. As usual, men and women were swaying on the dance floor, amidst the extravagance of feasting and revelry. However, in contrast to the above, the basement was eerily quiet and everyone was in panic.
Even though they were all prepared to sacrifice their lives, who could have imagined that the danger would come so suddenly.
"Has it been confirmed?"
"Of course, that companion must have come to the organization before he was arrested."
"What are you two talking about?"
The two people who were whispering in the corridor were startled when they heard the voice. They immediately stood up and faced Kunge and shook their heads quickly:
"No, nothing!"
On weekdays, Kunge is as listless as a seasoned office worker. He rarely meddles in other people's business and has a good relationship with everyone in the organization. But once he frowns, almost no one dares to say a word.
"Don't spread rumors that shouldn't be spread."
Kunge held a cigarette in his mouth and said meaningfully.
"Sorry, we will never do it again!"
The two of them hurriedly stiffened their necks and swore and admitted their mistakes. Their bodies were stiff and cold sweats broke out on their backs due to nervousness.
After seeing Kunge nod and wave his hand without saying anything more, the two of them bowed and left without looking back as if they were running for their lives.
Standing alone in the corridor, Kunge put out his cigarette, blew out the last puff of smoke, and his face looked a little gloomy.
The news spread faster than he thought.
The organization may not be really exposed, but if the higher-ups don't give a definite answer as soon as possible, the demoralization of the people below will be no joke.
"Quin, what happened?"
A clear male voice sounded behind him, and Kunge was startled. Seeing that it was the young man Crowstep who had just joined a few days ago, he calmed down and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, don't worry."
Kunge is Sheldon's subordinate and holds a high position in the organization. If any news about "Crow Step" were to be passed down, he would have known about it very early.
But now Kunge's attitude towards Crow Step is the same as usual. It seems that the news has not been passed down yet.
Yaxiao's blue eyes curved slightly, indicating that he was still a member of the organization.
The sense of responsibility for the organization slowly rose, and Yaxiao felt at ease to test the organization's next plan:
"Are you really okay? Kunge, I heard from others that Sheng Cheng was captured. Is there a risk that the organization will be exposed?"
"Who told you that?"
Kunge's face darkened. Everyone else just guessed that their companions in the organization had been captured, but Crow Step directly pointed out the name of the contact person.
How did Crowstep know such details? Kunge looked at the young man in front of him with scrutiny.
"Her Ring."
The young man pushed Helhuan out without hesitation. Of course, this was indeed what Helhuan told him. If Yaxiao wanted to test Kunge, he would not leave any handle.
Kunge put away his scrutinizing gaze and nodded in understanding.
Heerhuan and Yabu are of similar age and have a good relationship. They also jointly carried out the plan to kill Sheng Cheng. Even if Heerhuan did not tell Yabu about this directly, it would not be difficult for Yabu to guess the truth of the matter with just a few words, given Yabu's intelligence.
Thinking of this, Kunge scratched his hair irritably and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Don't reveal any information to anyone else."
"OK."
Crowstep's blue eyes widened slightly, as if he finally realized that what was happening was true. He hesitated for a moment, looking a little scared. "If the organization is really exposed, what should we do? Will the organization change its base?"
"Wait for notification from above."
Kunge reached a hand into the pocket of his white coat and pulled out a cigarette, his brows looking a little anxious. Before he could light it, the computer suddenly vibrated.
It's Sheldon's message.
Kunge was a little surprised. Half an hour ago, the top leaders of the organization went to a meeting, and Sheldon also attended. Now the meeting is over
"I have something to go."
Kunge put the cigarette back into his pocket, walked a few steps, stopped, turned around and warned the young man again: "Don't ever mention this to anyone else."
Crow Step put his left hand on the corner of his mouth, and moved it from the right to the left, making a zippering motion. His blue eyes were smiling, and he looked very sincere.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."
Kunge was skeptical, but because he was in a hurry to find Sheldon, he just hummed and said nothing more, and left the corridor directly.
Yaxiao looked at the back of the man in the white coat and silently called out his elder.
[Fourth Uncle, I’m counting on you.]
[give it to me!]
The system followed immediately.
Yaxiao was bidding farewell to his fourth uncle in his heart. After standing there for a few seconds, he turned around and planned to look for Hel Ring.
He didn't know many people in this organization. Apart from Sheldon, Kunge, and the arrested Sheng Cheng, there was only Helhuan.
Demons are big on promises.
Since he had promised Kunge not to tell anyone else, Yaxiao naturally would not reveal any information.
But Heerhuan is different. Heerhuan admires that adult very much and knows more than herself, so talking to him does not count as breaking her promise.
Yaxiao's tail hidden in his trouser leg swung slightly, thinking that Heerhuan should be willing to tell him the news of that existence.
Just as Yaxiao was enthusiastically trying to get some information, Kunge also learned some information about the meeting from Sheldon.
"The top brass are divided into two factions?"
Kunge's expression was a little ugly.
There was gauze wrapped around Sheldon's eyes, and the fingers that were holding the cane were a little white from the force.
Sheng Cheng was captured near the club last night, which means the organization’s base is likely to have been exposed.
Perhaps they had been exposed as early as when they lost contact with their fellow members of the Fifth Base.
His sister Ariel, the organization, and everything have long been under Qin Qi's surveillance.
"Some senior leaders want to relocate for safety reasons, while another faction believes that the organization has not been discovered yet and is unwilling to relocate."
Both groups have their own concerns.
The bitter taste of tobacco filled his mouth, and Kunge exhaled slowly: "What do you think?"
Sheldon said nothing.
The room fell into a long silence.
Kunge cursed inwardly, his eyes inexplicably sour. He crushed the tobacco in his palm and said in a hoarse voice: "What do you say, sir? You should have a solution, right?"
"He didn't contact us."
"Your Excellency may not know about this yet."
Kunge found an excuse for the adult he admired. He forced his mouth and said, "The top management should have a special communicator. Why didn't you tell that adult about this
"The communicator malfunctioned during the day."
"Damn, it all came together."
Kunge cursed again, "So what should we do next?"
"Don't move your position for now. Keep your troops in place."
Sheldon's response was brief and powerful.
After all, moving the position would be very risky and involve too many things.
Kunge nodded listlessly, "I understand. I will control public opinion within the organization."
The organization is now in a turbulent period and must be highly vigilant.
"Well, go and handle it. Keep the people down there steady."
Kunge nodded, and without bothering Sheldon again, he turned and left the room.
The door opened and closed, and the office became quiet in an instant.
Everything went dark before Sheldon's eyes.
As compensation for the loss of his eyesight, he has a sharper hearing than ordinary people and can think more attentively.
Unlike the crazy worship of that adult within the organization, Sheldon has been on the sidelines.
The contact person Sheng Cheng was arrested and the organization may be exposed.
With such a big thing happening, how could that powerful adult not know what happened
But until now, he has not contacted the organization, and even the communicator in the organization was inexplicably damaged.
All this happened too suddenly and too coincidentally.
It was as if that adult had decided to sever their ties, abandon the organization, and treat the remnants of the Seventh Base as abandoned pawns.
Sheldon is a pessimistic person.
He is not a bad person, but he is not a good person either. If that person really wants to give up the organization...
He suddenly clenched his cane.
If the organization is discovered and that adult really intends to abandon the organization, they will be dead no matter what they do.
Time passes by little by little.
During the long silence, Sheldon's lips moved and his voice was barely audible.
The system did not leave. It raised its reading glasses and observed for a moment, confirming that the other party said two words that it was very familiar with.
—Qin Qi.
Yaxiao was in the monitoring room listening to Heerhuan describing the adult in his eyes with gestures and excitement.
"He told us all the truth. He was kind, selfless, great and sincere. Do you understand, Crowstep? He is our guiding star."
Heerhuan is a smart and calm young man, but when he mentioned that adult, his expression and actions became extremely excited and exaggerated, his eyes were red, and he even seemed a little crazy.
Yaxiao looked at the other person's performance and said sincerely: "Wow, that adult is so amazing, I really want to meet him."
Then have a fight with him.
He Erhuan was very satisfied with the sincere response. He patted Yaxiao on the shoulder and said, "The master rarely appears. We can only see him during the spring meeting every year. You are very lucky. You will be able to see the master soon."
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Yaxiao curled his eyes, not knowing which one was stronger, the adult or the villain.
Just as he was secretly weighing the pros and cons, he heard the sound of his fourth uncle returning. There was no change on Yaxiao's face. When Heerhuan finished reciting the hymn for the thirteenth time, he made up an excuse and left the monitoring room.
It was rare for Heerhuan to have such a pleasant chat with others, and he was quite reluctant to see Yabu leave.
"We'll talk some other time!"
Yaxiao smiled and nodded. After leaving the monitoring room, he did not wander around the club, but went straight back to the temporary residence at the Sixth Base and turned on the video of his fourth uncle.
Kunge and Sheldon didn't talk much, and when he heard that the communicator was broken, Yashao leaned back in his chair.
The progress bar will fast forward until the end.
Yaxiao's expression changed from serious concentration to sudden realization, and finally he turned off the video with a look of disgust.
The tail behind it stood up unhappily, slapping left and right, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
[Host, what's wrong? ]
The system became more and more confused. Let's not talk about why Sheldon suddenly mentioned Qin Qi when they were alone. Now, why would its host be so angry after watching the video
Now that I'm retired, am I really unable to keep up with the times? Should I download the installation package that my colleague gave me before I retired
The system suddenly felt urgent.
It would be bad if I had no common language with the host who was only four hundred years old.
"Fourth Uncle, the boss in their organization is lying to me!"
Yaxiao didn't know about his uncle's worries. He said angrily, "That adult has no intention of dealing with Crow Step, and he doesn't even plan to join the organization again!"
This is really abominable.
Not keeping promises at all.
After all, the system is made up of data, so even if the code is old, it quickly understood what Yaxiao meant.
So, the leaders of that organization think that their subordinates have been discovered by the Sixth Base and plan to abandon the organization
[Host, why did Sherdo mention Qin Qi?] The system was shocked, but still didn't quite understand Sherdo's idea: [Is he planning to fight hard? Let the organization members kill Qin Qi directly?]
This fits the setting of an abandoned desperado very well.
Yaxiao shook his head and said with crooked eyes: "I don't think Sheldon is as stupid as Sheng Cheng. He shouldn't do such a brainless thing."
[Then why did he mention Qin Qi? ]
"Sheldon is different from the other members of the organization who seem to have been drugged. He has not lost his reason and basic judgment for revenge. He should want to do his best to protect the people in the organization."
Yaxiao sat cross-legged on the bed, his tail swaying behind him. His blue eyes showed a bit of smile, and he jokingly said, "Maybe he wants to join the villain."
Of course, none of this matters.
Now the most important thing is - the adult hiding behind the scenes is such a coward!
Yaxiao still gets angry when he thinks about it.
I had clearly agreed with Sheng Cheng that I would deal with Crow Step, but now his every move revealed that he was planning to abandon the organization, making me wait for so long in vain.
Yaxiao said unhappily: "If I knew who that person was, I would definitely teach him a lesson!"
He is now certain that the coward is no match for the villain. As expected, the villain is the most powerful!
The system looked at the angry black-haired boy and quickly spoke a few words to comfort him.
There aren't many people who can make a demon so angry. Demons always hold grudges. If the other party never shows up, it's fine. But if he shows up in front of Yaxiao...
The system thought about what might happen and sympathetically lit a data candle for the other party.
The next day, after waking up, Yaxiao was like an industrious little bee, busying around the villain and never leaving his side.
"what happened?"
Although the butler is usually very enthusiastic, today seems a little different from usual. Qin Qi looked at Yaxiao.
"It's fine."
Yaxiao thought of the unlucky adult yesterday. He was silent for a moment and said sincerely, "I just realized once again that the Marshal is strong and handsome, a hero who stands tall and proud. I am so lucky to be by your side!"
Qin Qi, who suddenly received a lot of praise:…
Mister who just knocked on the door: …
Shouldn't I come in now
Qin Qi's gaze swept across the butler's eyes, which were as pure and bright as blue glass beads. If it were someone else, he might just think that the other person was flattering him.
But Yaxiao seemed to be expressing his thoughts sincerely, without any other distractions, and even his face did not blush.
It was such a passionate and straightforward expression that Qin Qi didn't know how to respond. He nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Then Marshal, I will go to the Butler Representative Conference first." Yaxiao said with satisfaction. He nodded to the Marshal, then said hello to Mist and left the office.
Today’s Stewards Congress is important.
He has to go early.
After Yaxiao left, Mist, who had been frozen in place, noticed the marshal's gaze. He quickly came to his senses and immediately turned to work mode, reporting:
"Marshal, there is progress over at Sheng Cheng."
As he spoke, he handed over Sheng Cheng's confession and analyzed calmly, "From the beginning to the end, Sheng Cheng was vague and refused to tell the truth. We used his demeanor, movements, micro-expressions, etc. when he was confessing, and finally analyzed that the person who instructed him to do all this was the First Base Marshal Delbo."
When hearing these words, Qin Qi, who was sitting in his seat, raised his eyelids with a sharp look in his eyes.
Mist said this with a rational expression: "At present, Sheng Cheng's words are not credible. The other party destroyed the surveillance for a period of time and his behavior is uncontrollable. Marshal Delbo is very likely a shield he pulled out."
Qin Qi did not comment on Mist's words. His dark eyes stared at the information on the table, and his fingers wrapped in black leather tapped lightly on the paper:
"Take Shengcheng to the operating room."
"I will be there to supervise personally."
Operating room? Could it be that Sheng Cheng had something else wrong with his body besides his blood? Mister straightened up and nodded instantly.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
The joint meeting will begin in two hours.
This means that the operation needs to be completed within an hour so as not to affect the marshal's meeting.
Mist seized every minute and second, quickly assembled a professional team, arranged anesthesia for Sheng Cheng and a series of other things, and completed the matter within ten minutes.
After the marshal in sterile clothes walked into the operating room, the red light at the door of the operating room was dazzling. Mist took a look and looked away, instantly breathing a sigh of relief.
He sat in the chair, thinking of Yaxiao's praise of the marshal that he had heard not long ago, and couldn't help but be distracted.
As expected of a young man, he is so passionate, frank and straightforward when expressing his feelings.
Mist admired the marshal in his heart, thinking that he must have been in a good mood when he heard those things.
There are indeed not many people in the army who can express their feelings so sincerely.
Mist remembered that the other party had expressed his love for the Marshal in front of him more than once, and he also remembered that he once heard Yaxiao say that he "didn't want to leave the Marshal". Until today, he once again heard the young man's endless praise of the Marshal.
He was just suspicious at first, but now he is more certain that Yaxiao must like the Marshal!
"What are you thinking about?"
Soran came out of the elevator and saw his brother looking stupid in a daze, so he asked.
"nothing."
The smile on Mist's face was meaningful.
I'm thinking about things that a little kid like you shouldn't know.
