Everything is different now than in the original book.
The original book advances the plot from the perspective of the protagonists.
The people headed by Wei Shi never doubted Delbo. They had never seen the little iron ball, nor did they know where the body of Delbo's father was, let alone the existence of the demon insect race [Smet].
They only knew that Marshal Qin Qi might have destroyed the Seventh Base, and that everything that was happening now was closely related to Qin Qi.
And now, Yaxiao is about to follow Qin Qi to witness part of the truth hidden in the book.
It has to be said that the current developments make the devil very curious about what will happen in the future.
The underground research institute was privately invested by Qin Qi.
The central city allowed the marshals to set up their own businesses. Since Qin Qi did not want the research institute to have anything to do with the military, he did not let his subordinates be in charge of the research institute.
Researchers in white coats were coming and going in the corridor. When they saw Qin Qi bringing a strange young man wearing a mask, their expressions did not change. They just nodded and hurriedly went about their own business.
Yaxiao followed Qin Qi with great interest, watching him press his fingerprint and check his iris. After numerous checks, when the red light turned green, the door slowly opened with a creak.
The cold air that hit me in the face made me shiver. All I saw was a sea of white. The special wall was in the shape of an inverted arch, and in the center below was a glass cover the same length as the coffin.
"Is the body of Delbo's father stored there?"
The temperature in this laboratory is at least minus twenty degrees Celsius. Yaxiao's eyes fell on the glass cover and he could vaguely sense that there was something inside.
Perhaps it was a problem with the material. Even though the demon was standing in this position, he could only see an outline through the transparent glass cover.
"Um."
Qin Qi walked over, and the next second after the two of them walked in, the password door behind them slowly closed.
Yaxiao moved closer to the glass cover, and the outline inside became clearer.
There are many bugs in the demon world.
When Yaxiao was a child, he had no playmates and no points to buy toys, so he could only dig out insects from the desert one by one and use them as toys.
So not only was he not afraid, he was even a little looking forward to seeing the appearance of the magic insect.
What is the difference between "Smet" and those stupid black bone insects
Is it countless times more powerful than the black bone worm
If it is very powerful, then I have to hurry up and absorb the demon value quickly.
Then he will definitely beat up Delbo to avenge the villain!
Thinking of this, Yaxiao suppressed his inner fighting spirit and looked at the glass cover expectantly.
Well, a human being.
Before, Qin Qi said that he was going to see the body of Delbo’s father, and then mentioned that the body was the shell that Delbo shed. Yaxiao thought he would see a large insect, but now there is a human being in the "coffin".
There are no huge insect wings, no sharp stingers, and no deformed and terrifying tentacles.
Yaxiao's tail drooped down in disappointment.
But after all, it was a humanoid insect that could shed its shell. Even though Yaxiao was disappointed, he still observed it carefully.
The man lying in the glass case was about fifty years old, and was four points similar to Delbo. Even with his eyes closed, one could tell from his slightly raised eyes that he was a born romantic. He had a more mature charm than Delbo, and his bloodless skin was bluish-purple, and he had the stiffness of a corpse.
This was indeed an ordinary human corpse.
Of course, the premise is to ignore the stitches around his waist.
The sutures looked like they had been opened and re-stitched several times, with obvious signs of botched surgery.
Ya Xiao couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, then asked doubtfully: "Did you do this, Marshal?"
This is too imprecise.
Yaxiao felt that this was probably not done by the villain.
"Gepin did it."
Qin Qi's tone was indifferent, but his eyes were somewhat surprised. After staring at the corpse for a long time, the mysterious young man's first reaction was to ask him who performed the surgery on the corpse's waist.
This kind of irrelevant and out-of-line feeling made Qin Qi inexplicably think of Yaxiao. Of course, he knew that Yabu had no possibility of any relationship with Yaxiao.
Yaxiao is a kind and simple young butler, while the young man in front of him is powerful and unfathomable. They are two completely different beings, not to mention that the former is Qin Qi's first love.
Perhaps thinking of the smiling boy, Qin Qi's eyes softened unconsciously. He glanced at the young man next to him, his eyelashes drooping slightly, concealing the inquiring emotion in his eyes.
Qin Qi regarded Yabu as a collaborator, so he brought him here.
But because of the situation, Qin Qi brought Yabu here with the intention of testing him. After all, although the young man said that his purpose was the same as his, no one knew whether what he said was true.
However, until Yabu shows any sign of betrayal or ulterior motives, Qin Qi will only treat him as a collaborator and give him due trust.
Yaxiao, who was concentrating on observing the corpse, had no idea what Qin Qi was thinking. After knowing that the sutures had nothing to do with Qin Qi, he proudly said to the system:
[See, Uncle Four, I told you those crude stitches couldn't be the work of a villain.]
The villain is very good at using a knife, he wouldn't be so careless.
The system confirmed the host's guess, and then asked in confusion: [Why did Ge Ping sew up Delbo's father's waist? ]
[Maybe Delbo's father's body was in pieces, so he needed to sew it up?]
Yaxiao recalled the information about Delbo and his father that the villain had just shown him, and made a random guess.
Delbo's father, Elland, was an extremely powerful marshal. According to the information, the last battle he participated in was the turmoil in the Seventh Base.
The end of the document was written in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, which was obscure and difficult to understand. It was only after Qin Qi spoke that Yaxiao carefully read the document again.
The information suggests that Elland died in the war at the Seventh Base and his body was devoured by demonic insects.
Since it can be written like this, it means that there must have been officers who saw Marshal Ellande die, so it seems normal that his body was broken into pieces
"So, what did Guppin find out?"
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi and asked directly.
Ge Ping had only recently contacted Qin Qi, and the stitches on the body must be very old.
Yaxiao is more inclined to believe that the body should have been kept by Ge Ping.
This secret must have been buried by Ge Ping for several years.
It was not until he met the marshal that Ge Ping handed the body over to him.
Whatever his reasons for stitching up the bodies, he must have discovered something.
Hearing the young man's question, Qin Qi did not hide anything. His eyes fell on Elander's waist: "Elander and Delbo's blood is no different from that of humans, but the composition of their bones is obviously different from ours."
"The material is very similar to the iron ball you gave me before."
Yaxiao raised his eyebrows: "Is Elander really not a human?"
Because of the mask, Qin Qi couldn't see Yaxiao's expression. He could only hear Yabu's smiling voice, calmly and unhurriedly, as if everything was under his control.
"Um."
Qin Qi's eyes were gloomy. He stared at the man in the glass cover and said, "I will remove Delbo from the stage."
“Is the evidence sufficient?”
Yaxiao thought about it and felt that the small iron balls left behind by Delbo's father and Smet when they shed their shells could prove Delbo's abnormality.
"enough."
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi's calm and steady appearance, and the corners of his mouth curved behind the mask, "That's good."
He already knew that the villain's goal was to get rid of Delbo as soon as possible, and it seems that the villain is now ready.
However, even if Qin Qi wanted to bring Delbo down in a few days, Yaxiao would still beat Delbo up.
After waiting for the villain to record the information of the corpse, Yaxiao followed the villain and left the research institute.
This time, he seemed to know something, but also seemed to know nothing.
After returning to the room, Yaxiao, who had returned to his boyish form, sat cross-legged on the bed, his tail swaying left and right. After a while, he suddenly said, "The villain should have some secrets that he hasn't told you yet."
[ah?]
The system was a little confused when it heard the host suddenly say this.
Many things about the villains are indeed not explained, such as what is going on with Smet, where did Elland's body come from, and why they suspected Elland and Delbo father and son in the first place.
Also, why does Qin Qi think that Delbo is the shed shell of Elander
[Because Qin Qi thought Crow Step knew everything.] The system was silent for a moment, then said directly.
When Yaxiao heard his uncle's analysis, his eyes wandered and he coughed lightly, thinking that there was some truth in it.
"But these are not the main points."
Yaxiao straightened his chest and said, "Uncle, these details are not important."
"I just think it's a bit strange that a villain with so many conspiracies on his shoulders is so hastily preparing to deal with Delbo."
It was as if Qin Qi was on guard against something.
If you think about it carefully, in the original plot, Qin Qi was so cautious from beginning to end. If it was just because of Delbo, why would he die on the battlefield in the end
Even if there had been no help from him at that time, Qin Qi would have lost his right-hand man and confidant, and Ge Ping would have passed away not long after, but Qin Qi would not have ended up like that.
“So, Delpo is just the beginning?”
After thinking for a moment, Yaxiao came to a conclusion.
The system, which had no idea what was going on, was silent for a moment and chose to continue monitoring Delbo. Well, this was the easiest thing for the old man.
At this time, Delbo was still sleeping.
The system slept a lot during the day and was very energetic at night. It did not start to doze off until dawn. Just as it dozed off for a moment, it heard the door open.
It was Delpo’s lieutenant, Lake.
Without even opening his eyes, Delbo raised his hand and pulled Lake, who was standing beside the bed, into his arms.
Lake's face turned red instantly. He lay in Delbo's arms, not knowing where to put his hands and feet for a moment.
The man whom she admired and loved, even though he had his eyes closed, her hands still restlessly reached into his clothes.
Lake's face turned even redder and his breathing became a little faster.
The system took a look and was no longer surprised. It yawned and was a little dazed. When it was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
Noisy sounds came one after another.
"Be good and open the door." Delbo's voice was sleepy and hoarse. He perfunctorily took out his hand and rubbed Lake's head.
Lake smiled shyly and got dressed.
He took a deep breath to calm his feverish body, put his hand on the door handle, frowned, and opened the door seriously: "What are you doing?"
The next second, he was stunned when he saw the scene outside the door.
Dozens of Sixth Base officers in black uniforms placed their weapons against the heads of their base's soldiers, their eyes filled with cold intimidation.
The leader was a man named Mist, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and was well-known among the adjutants for his smiling face.
"Adjutant Mist, what are you planning to do?"
Lake placed his hand on the silver gun at his waist and looked at the other party warily, protecting the marshal who was still in the room.
"Of course I am following orders."
There was no smile in Mist's eyes. He handed the stamped document to Lake and said to the room, "Marshal Delpo, please follow us. The closed court is ready."
The closing of the court is one of the inherent rights of many marshals.
As long as four marshals agree, they are qualified to force a marshal trial, which is generally aimed at the supreme ruler who has made a serious mistake.
Lake was about to say something.
Delbo, who was still in the room, came out, his affectionate peach blossom eyes slightly curved, revealing a bit of coldness.
"I would like to know what mistake I made to make the marshals at the border base send me to a closed court."
Mist smiled and said nothing, then made a gesture of invitation.
"Heh, it seems I was right." Delpo chuckled, his voice carrying an inexplicable meaning: "They are indeed the marshals of the border base."
The news that Marshal Delpo had been arrested and put on a secret trial soon reached the ears of all the marshals, and the trial was to begin that day.
After being notified to participate in the trial, the two marshals of the second-line base, Cheng Di and Ge Wen, turned pale and came to the court early with anger suppressed. They sat next to Wen Bol, who was the most talkative, to get information.
"Delbo was a bit of a womanizer and even attacked the new recruits. He is a scumbag from head to toe, but what he did was consensual. There is no need to force a trial."
Cheng Di's face was pale, and he still looked mentally ill. His voice was trembling and he spoke very quickly. There was a hint of disgust in his words, but he still didn't believe that Delbo would do anything wrong.
"What did Delbo do to deserve to be enforced?"
"The four marshals from your border base identified Delbo together. You must have your reasons, right?"
There were obvious wrinkles on Gwen's face and his brows were furrowed, obviously he was very dissatisfied with this matter.
Seeing Wenbol hesitating for a long time and unable to explain the reason, Gewen's expression became even more displeased, and Cheng Di also started biting his nails in an unpleasant manner.
As the marshal of the fourth base, Wenbol has always been complacent and proud, but he is not good at dealing with the two marshals of the second-line base. After all, one of them is sick and the other is his predecessor.
In particular, he didn't know why Qin Qi wanted to arrest Delbo.
"Qin Qi has his own reasons."
In front of the two of them, Wenbol could only bite the bullet and say it, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
"I hope this incident won't cause any changes in the alignment of our base." Gwen said with a wry smile.
The two of them sat at the round table and stopped talking to Wenbol.
Soon, the marshals from the border base and the central city gradually walked in from outside, and Wenbol's embarrassing situation was finally eased.
Delbo was brought in.
The shackles were wrapped around his body in circles, and he was forced to lock himself on the chair in the middle of the round table.
"What did I do wrong?"
When the meeting started, Delbo raised his eyelids and looked clearly at Qin Qi.
Several marshals beside him also cast their eyes on Qin Qi, and then they heard the man calmly say: "Because you are a demon insect."
Marshals: …
What
Yaxiao watched this scene through the system monitoring, and suddenly thought of something, and said to the system in his mind: [Fourth Uncle, let's go wait on the bench outside. ]
The system is puzzled.
[There's no one over there, so I can eat and watch TV at the same time.] Yaxiao said obediently.
system:…
