"Marshal, I will entertain two guests tomorrow afternoon."
After returning to the room, Yaxiao told Qin Qi about his plans for tomorrow and explained the identities of the two guests. "Bulton and the others will also be with me."
"Um."
Qin Qi unbuttoned his coat and glanced at his butler, "You can arrange these things yourself."
He knew his steward had a sense of propriety.
Yaxiao raised the corner of his mouth when he heard that.
"Okay, I will definitely let them vote for the border base to get more steward spots."
Qin Qi looked over and did not put pressure on his butler. He just said calmly, "Just do your best."
The butler plays an important role for the taboo person, but he is not indispensable.
The future war situation will only become more turbulent.
But no one can be sure whether those housekeepers who live a life of luxury and mostly just want to live comfortably in the prosperous central city can play their due role on the battlefield.
Qin Qi was not optimistic about the housekeepers from the central city, and he also did not care how many vacancies there were for housekeepers at the border base this year.
His eyes swept across Yaxiao's face, then he retracted his gaze and lowered his eyelashes, and naturally handed his clothes to the other party.
The teenager is an exception.
Qin Qi's experience with the previous three butlers told him that such responsible butlers are only a minority.
Instead of trusting those housekeepers with great variables and putting the pressure of competing for the housekeeper position on the shoulders of the young man, it is better to let Lu Chuanxi study more inhibitors.
“It wouldn’t be a bad thing even if it was the same as previous years.”
After a while, Qin Qi said slowly.
"I understand, Marshal."
Yaxiao smiled and nodded obediently. He reached out to take the clothes from the villain and hung them on the hanger.
The villain is so gentle that he is still comforting himself at this moment.
You know, in recent years, the number of housekeepers in the border base is about the same as that in the central city, and both are ranked last on the surface. However, it must be said that Yaxiao particularly likes villains who never put pressure on him.
Qin Qi glanced at Yaxiao. The boy loved to laugh and never seemed unhappy. He looked away, walked to the desk, sat down, and picked up the book he had not finished reading last night.
Upon seeing this, Yaxiao turned around and closed the balcony ventilation window as usual, then walked to Qin Qi's side and stood still. From time to time, he would take advantage of the other party's break to hand him a glass of water and chat with him, making jokes.
Now Yaxiao is already familiar with Qin Qi's various little habits of reading at night.
All windows must be closed at night, and you can chat while reading or taking a break, so that the marshal will be in a good mood before going to bed. You can take a few sips of water at night but never drink tea... and so on.
Although the Marshal's habits at night are subtly different from those during the day, they are both very interesting.
Yaxiao glanced at Qin Qi who was concentrating on reading a book, and was very happy to hear the ding-ding sound of the demon value being absorbed in his ears.
"Marshal, go to bed early."
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when he reluctantly decided to leave.
"Um."
Qin Qi closed the book and seemed to be planning to take a rest.
-Squeak
Yaxiao closed the door of the villain's bedroom and turned back to his own room. He needed to discuss the next plan with the system.
The current world line has deviated from the original plot. Sheng Cheng has been captured, and Sauron should not die unless there are major accidents. The villains have not lost their capable adjutant, so they naturally will not hunt down Sheng Cheng as vigorously as in the original plot.
"The villain should be able to achieve his goals better now." Yashao concluded thoughtfully.
[Host, have you guessed the villain's purpose?] The system was a little confused.
"No."
Yaxiao shook his head and said as a matter of course: "He must want to do something, otherwise he wouldn't have arrested the organization until now."
Although it is not clear what Qin Qi is going to do, Yaxiao thinks it may be related to the adult behind Sheng Cheng.
"As long as Qin Qi doesn't get hurt and doesn't lose control, anything is fine." Yaxiao's thoughts were casual. He sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes curved into crescents, "I just need to protect the villain!"
The system had no objection. Then it saw the host no longer thinking about it, suddenly sat up straight, and opened the mall ready to go.
The newly listed products attracted the devil as always. He picked and chose in the mall with his fingers raised. Sometimes his eyes lit up, excited and happy, and sometimes he was conflicted and his face was full of contemplation.
The system climbed onto the rocking chair as if it was used to it, ready to make itself some tea with the data.
The faint aroma of tea instantly filled the entire database. The system took a sip of the tea, leaned back in the rocking chair and looked at Yaxiao with a sigh.
At this time, the white bed was filled with a pile of toys and a big devil experience ticket.
Needless to say, some of these toys should be gifts for the villains, but the system is a bit strange. Does the host still plan to go to the club as Crowstep
"Of course!"
After selecting the goods, Yaxiao stretched lazily, and the tail behind him swayed left and right in the air.
"I am still a member of the organization and I have to clock in on time every day!"
system:…
Got it. The host still wants to continue watching the excitement of the organization.
Yaxiao temporarily put the small toys he carefully selected for the villain into the system warehouse. When everything was ready, he transformed into an adult form, opened the window excitedly, kicked his feet, jumped lightly onto the tree, and ran towards the direction of the organization.
The atmosphere in the organization was still very tense at this time.
Even because the top leaders have not been able to contact that adult, the members of the organization looked a little nervous and uneasy.
Yaxiao walked to the monitoring room, intending to get information from Heer Huan.
He Erhuan was not sure about the current situation, but he was very optimistic: "Kung told us that the organization does not need to move out of the base for the time being. Doesn't this tell us that the organization has not been discovered?"
"Besides, with that master here, we will be fine." Thinking of that master, He Erhuan grinned. He looked at Yabu and said firmly, "The master just can't contact us because the communicator is broken. After it is repaired, he will definitely contact us to tell us the direction to go. You don't need to be nervous. It's okay."
"So that's how it is."
Yaxiao looked at Heerhuan, who believed in the adult like a believer, and nodded in agreement.
Although he felt that the coward might not contact the organization again, there was no need to tell Heerhuan about this because the other party would definitely not believe him.
After leaving the monitoring room, Yaxiao's expression was a little bored.
It seems that the organization plans to remain on the sidelines for the time being. He originally thought that the organization would come up with some new tricks, but it seems that he was overthinking it.
[Fourth Uncle, I want to go back.]
Yaxiao said boredly. Just as he was waiting for the elevator, a familiar figure stood with him.
That's Sheldon.
Sheldon had gauze wrapped around his eyes and a blind stick in his hand, waiting for the elevator door to open.
The instrument transmitted the appearance of the young man next to him into his brain. After Sheldon identified that the other party was the new member Crowstep, he said in a gentle tone:
"I'm sorry, you just joined the organization and something happened to the organization. Don't be afraid, the organization will be fine."
"OK."
Yaxiao curled his eyes when he heard this.
"The organization will be fine" sounds like comfort, but coming from Sheldon's mouth, it has a bit more credibility.
The elevator opened with a ding.
After the two of them stood in, they slowly rose up.
Yaxiao turned his head slightly and looked at Sheldon.
If I remember correctly, Sheldon committed suicide in the plot. The information found out by the protagonist group was that Sheldon committed suicide because he was depressed after his girlfriend passed away.
But as the head of the organization, would Sheldon really do such a love-minded thing? Yaxiao was a little suspicious that the other party was murdered.
Noticing the gaze from the side, Sheldon asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"No."
Yaxiao was just a little curious. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you going to the third floor?"
"no."
Sheldon explained gently, "My eyes are a little uncomfortable today, so I plan to go home early."
"Okay, take care of yourself."
Yaxiao left the club with Sheldon, watching the man's back, and called out the system.
[Fourth Uncle, help me follow Xie Erduo.]
[Host, is there something wrong with Sheldon? ]
The system had been watching the conversation between the two people and did not notice anything unusual.
[Well, I think he's a little weird.]
Although Sheldon behaved very naturally, the devil had a strong observation ability. Yaxiao could clearly find that Sheldon's body muscles were tenser than usual, as if he had something on his mind.
The demon, who was a little unhappy because the organization was too boring, finally started to wag its tail slightly.
[Good host.]
Upon hearing this, the system immediately followed Sheldon.
Yaxiao did not return to his temporary residence. He found a quiet and deserted corner. After about ten minutes, he contacted his fourth uncle in his mind: [How is it, fourth uncle? Did you observe where Sherdo's destination is? ]
The system did not answer immediately, as if it was a little hesitant, not quite sure of its guess. After a second or two, it spoke: [Host, I always feel that Sheldon’s target is the temporary residence of the border base...]
The system looked at the location on the navigation of Sheldon's hovercraft, feeling a little confused. What was Sheldon going to do
Is he planning to assassinate the villain in the middle of the night, or is he planning to surrender to the marshal as the host had previously guessed, or is this all just overthinking
After hearing the system's guess, Yaxiao was also stunned for a moment. After a while, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The young man's black shoes landed lightly on the white air-conditioning box, as if they were weightless, and there was no sound at all when they fell.
He raised his head slightly and looked towards the window where light was faintly coming through. It seemed that the villain had not slept yet.
[Fourth Uncle, where is Xie Erduo now? ]
[We are almost there!]
The system looked at the increasingly familiar building and swallowed its saliva. It looked at Sheldon who was sitting quietly in the back seat of the hovercraft and felt more and more that the other party was really here to find Qin Qi.
[Host, what should we do now?]
[It's fine.]
Yaxiao had put on his clown mask at some point. He squatted on the air conditioner box under Qin Qi's balcony, feeling that he had found a perfect position. He made an OK gesture in his mind:
[Let him come, but if Sheldon dares to hurt the villain, I, Crowstep, will never let him go! ]
Of course, Yaxiao felt that Sheldon would not do such a stupid thing, but just in case, he still had to prepare in advance.
Seeing that the host was so reliable, the system immediately felt relieved.
At the same time, Adjutant Mist was also filled with tension and vigilance because of the news he had received not long ago. He looked at Soran next to him:
"Take him up."
Mist understood his mission, but his expression was not very good, after all, the person who was coming was one of the top leaders of the hostile organization.
They came to see the marshal in the middle of the night, and no one knew what the other party's purpose was. However, the marshal did not intend to take any protective measures and did not even allow the two of them to accompany him.
"Do not think too much."
Soran said calmly, "Lock the message."
"knew."
Mist was alert, but he would not disobey the marshal's order. His eyes were calm under the gold-rimmed eyes. "Don't worry, no one will know about this except us."
Of course, when Mist said this, he would not have thought that a mysterious man named Crowstep was squatting on the air-conditioning box outside the Marshal's window watching all this.
In the silent corridor, the surveillance was temporarily forced to shut down. Two adjutants escorted Sheldon, whose eyes were wrapped in white gauze, to stand in front of the marshal's door.
Watching the man walking into the marshal's room with a cane and the door slowly closing, the two adjutants looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Mist turned and walked into the elevator to clean up, while Soran stood guard at the Marshal's door, always alert to any movement in the room.
Sheldon, who entered the room, stopped after taking a few steps. His hand holding the blind stick suddenly tightened. His good hearing allowed him to clearly feel the presence of another person in the room.
Thinking of this person's identity and what he was going to discuss next, Sheldon broke out in a cold sweat. He said cautiously and solemnly:
"Marshal Qin, it's been a long time since we last met. The last time we met was probably at the Seventh Base."
Qin Qi said nothing.
Sheldon couldn't tell the other person's emotions, and the pressure instantly doubled.
In the view of Kunge and others, Sheng Cheng approached them because that adult suspected that he was not a survivor of the Seventh Base and might betray the organization.
But Xie Erduo knew clearly that the reason why that person suspected him was not only because he had been investigating the affairs of the Seventh Base, but also because he had once had an intersection with Qin Qi.
"You should already know everything about the organization."
Xie Erduo's palms were sweating, he clenched his blind stick, and when he realized that Qin Qi had no intention of refutation, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Sure enough, Marshal Qin knew about this.
And the person who gave up the organization should have had a plan in place.
"I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you."
Sheldon barely suppressed his inner emotions and spoke calmly.
"What kind of cooperation?"
Qin Qi raised his eyelids and said lightly.
Hearing Qin Qi finally speak, Xie Erduo's left hand, which was clenched tightly around the blind stick, loosened slightly and saw a glimmer of hope.
On the other side, Yaxiao, who was squatting outside the window, listened to the noise inside and felt quite satisfied.
[Fourth Uncle, Xie Erduo is indeed not a fool. ]
The system felt relieved upon seeing this. It turned out that Sheldon really wanted to discuss cooperation with Qin Qi. He was about to say something to praise his host, but before he opened his mouth, he noticed that the host had fallen into deep thought again.
The system did not disturb the host. After all, the host would blurt out what was in his mind after he finished thinking.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the host was heard whispering: [Fourth Uncle, I think Xie Erduo will die soon.]
ah
The system was confused: [Why? Didn't Sheldon come to seek cooperation with the villain? Why did he die? ]
The villain is not a bloodthirsty person. The assassins from the Fifth Base are still doing labor reform in the power plant.
Not to mention killing your own collaborators.
And didn’t Sheldon commit suicide
No, the system thought about it and understood what Yaxiao meant.
Xie Erduo doesn't seem like the type of person who would commit suicide for love. From the fact that he came to see Qin Qi, it can be seen that he is smart and flexible, rather than stubborn and obstinate.
Yaxiao squatted on the air-conditioning box and broke down the original plot and the current situation for comparison.
[In the original book, the villain should also know the existence of the organization. ]
Yaxiao had memorized the plot by heart, and now he could analyze it clearly.
After all, the villain was assassinated in the fifth base. Although the plot did not elaborate on this, we can guess from the fact that the villain was not injured that he should be able to capture a few assassins alive, and it would not be difficult to take the opportunity to catch Ariel.
[In the plot, after Sauron's death, the villains will hunt down Sheng Cheng and will not let the organization go either.]
If that timid adult knew this, he would definitely not confront Qin Qi head-on, and might even plan to abandon the organization like he is doing now.
[Xie Erduo is not stupid. He should soon realize that the organization has been abandoned by that adult. He will definitely find Qin Qi to discuss cooperation.]
When the system heard this, the data running was a little slow, but it quickly understood what the host meant.
In short, in places not written in the original book, there may have been things like Sherduo discussing cooperation with Qin Qi.
However, in the plot, Sheldon committed suicide.
By the same token, Xie Erduo, who is currently discussing cooperation with Qin Qi, may also commit suicide in the near future.
Of course, whether it was really "suicide" is questionable.
Yaxiao was more inclined to believe that Xie Erduo's betrayal to Qin Qi was exposed and he was killed by that adult to silence him.
[This is really interesting.]
Yaxiao made some random guesses. Although he didn't know whether he was right or not, he was in a good mood.
He wanted to verify whether his guess was correct.
The system looked at Yaxiao's eager look and took a sip of refreshing data tea to calm its nerves. The development of things was a little beyond its expectations.
The discussion in the room soon came to an end.
"We agreed that after this is done, neither my sister nor any member of the organization will be allowed to cause trouble for them."
After a long wait, Sheldon finally heard Qin Qi hum, and in an instant, it was as if the armor of confinement had suddenly been removed. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he clenched the cane in his hand.
"In that case, I won't disturb Marshal Qin's rest." Xie Erduo nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
He could sense the sharp gaze of the man behind him.
It was not until the end of the negotiation that Sheldon realized that the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat.
The door opened and closed.
The bedroom returned to silence, but Qin Qi, who was sitting on the chair, raised his eyelids, as if he had noticed something, and said lightly: "Come out."
There was no movement outside the window at first.
Then, there was a sound like a bird stepping on the air conditioner box, and then the window was gently pushed open, and a thin figure stood on the windowsill with one foot.
The clouds dispersed.
Silver moonlight shines.
He was a young man with black hair braided into a scorpion braid.
He wore a clown mask with an exaggerated smile, his feet on the floor, and acted like a lost gentleman, speaking in a polite and apologetic tone:
"I'm sorry, Central City is so huge. I'm sorry for your sudden visit."
This is the tenth floor of the building.
The other party being lost is nonsense.
Qin Qi leaned back in his chair, looking at the young man who jumped in from the windowsill, his expression unchanged.
But if you look closely, you will find that every detail of Qin Qi's sitting position, angle, muscle amplitude, etc. shows that if the opponent intends to attack, he can kill the opponent at the fastest speed.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The silver moonlight fell on the two of them, bringing a slight chill.
The young man with scorpion braids standing by the windowsill did not move, and the marshal sitting on the chair on the other side just sat there quietly.
The two of them stared at each other from a distance across the desk; only faint breathing sounds could be heard in the air.
"I am very grateful to you for saving my adjutant."
After a while, Qin Qi's low voice broke the silent atmosphere.
A young man with black scorpion braids and a clown mask. Qin Qi was sure that the young man was the mysterious man who saved Sauron.
"It's fine."
The young man wearing a clown mask said politely.
The mysterious man's voice was filled with laughter. He was just standing there casually, but he exuded a strong intimidation.
Qin Qi's dark eyes gradually darkened. If he hadn't accidentally sensed the other person's breath, he might not have discovered the other person's existence. Yaxiao, who was sitting by the window, was a little happy.
[Fourth Uncle, the villain actually discovered me! ]
[He is really amazing!]
Demons are naturally good at hiding. As a low-level demon, Yaxiao was extremely skilled at this. However, Qin Qi could actually find where he was hiding! Great!
system:…
It looked blankly at the excited Yaxiao, then at Qin Qi, and couldn't help feeling a little suffocated. Now was not the time to praise the villain!
[Host, why did you come out?]
The old voice of the system trembled. It would have been better if they had just run away! What if the host was caught by the villain
Yaxiao was embarrassed to say that he was so happy when the villain found him that he wanted to fight with him. It was only after he came out that he realized something was wrong.
But it seems a little late.
[It’s okay, Fourth Uncle, I’m now Crow Step! ] Yaxiao comforted his mentally weakened system:
[The villain will definitely not be able to catch me. ]
[Moreover, Crowstep can also take the opportunity to test the villain, help him achieve his goal as soon as possible, and better protect him! ]
Yaxiao was talking nonsense to the system, waving the banner, explaining that his choice to come out was very correct, while he chuckled to the vigilant villain and explained his purpose:
"I know what you want to do."
The mysterious young man with scorpion braids hanging down from his waist is calm and composed, wearing a black and white clown mask with a smile extending to his ears, which inexplicably reveals a sense of weirdness and mystery.
Qin Qi paused slightly, and his eyes looking towards Yabu suddenly revealed a cold murderous intent.
"I can help you."
“We all have the same goal.”
The mysterious young man showed no fear and spoke calmly.
Well, although we don’t know what the villain’s purpose is for the time being, Yaxiao will always stand on the same front with the villain!
The purpose is the same
Qin Qi's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the young man not far away.
Who is he and what does he know
After a while, Qin Qi closed his eyes, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes, and said lightly: "No need."
