What is the small iron ball that Qin Qi took out
Who is the Crowstep that Delpo mentioned? Why is there such a big difference in his reaction before and after
Looking at the scenes before them, the marshals had doubts in their hearts one after another, but in order to successfully become marshals, they did not forget to observe Delbo's reaction while they were confused.
And they realized something was wrong after this observation.
Ever since the name "Crow Step" came out of Delbo's mouth, the other party's face became gloomy and cold, and his eyes pierced Qin Qi like a sword.
Qin Qi remained calm, looking at several marshals, "What do you think of my proposal?"
how about
The marshals came to their senses, looked at each other, and felt indescribable.
They knew that Qin Qi was hiding a lot of things from them, but these things could be put aside for the time being. The most important thing for them now was to make a decision.
Bone testing is definitely necessary.
Several marshals fought bravely in the battlefield and suffered countless injuries, but they just had their bones examined by professionals and they didn't think it was a big deal.
"It's a pity that we can't test all humans."
Wista leaned back in his chair. Blood tests were fine, but as for bone tests, ordinary people simply could not withstand tests that exceeded their limits, and if they were not careful, it would easily lead to bad rumors.
All marshals, including the second-line base marshals, had the same idea.
If the demon insects really infiltrated the base, it would be a huge blow to humanity, and the people would not be able to bear the truth.
"All marshals should be tested first. We also need to come up with a set of rules for the rest."
"No one must know about Delbo's affairs."
The marshals had a heated discussion and after reaching a temporary conclusion, the meeting came to an end.
The news that Delbo was escorted away in the morning was blocked immediately.
Until Delbo is confirmed to be a demon worm, his position as marshal will remain temporarily.
But according to Delbo's previous performance, no matter whether the final result is that he is a demon insect or not, there is definitely something wrong with him.
They must select someone who can serve as the marshal of the first base as soon as possible.
Thinking of what might happen after the replacement of the marshal, the faces of the marshals present all looked grim.
Ge Wen and Cheng Di, who are both from the second-line base, know that the impact of this incident on their two bases is far more profound than that on the border base.
Cheng Di, who was pale, kept muttering to himself, and his nervousness seemed to have worsened.
"Cheng Di and I will leave first."
Gwen frowned deeply.
Delbo's imprisonment means chaos in the second-tier base camp.
He and Cheng Di have a lot of things to deal with.
As for the issues that Qin Qi had not clarified before, it would not be too late to ask him for confirmation after those issues were resolved.
"Let's adjourn the meeting. We will continue the discussion in the afternoon."
Wenbol's golden hair looked much duller and he looked listless. Too many things had happened today and he still felt it was a little unreal.
And all this was caused by Qin Qi.
The "fuse" sitting nearby had a calm expression, as if he didn't notice the hidden gazes of his colleagues, and he stood up and left the courtroom.
After Qin Qi left, Westa and several other marshals looked at each other in silence for a long time before leaving their seats.
At the same time, Yaxiao also left the bench and stood in front of the courtroom waiting. When he saw Qin Qi coming out, he curled his eyes and took the initiative to say, "Marshal, you have worked hard."
Qin Qi lowered his head to look at Yaxiao who was talking and laughing. The black-haired boy had slightly curved blue eyes, which were dazzling and bright in the sun. He seemed to have no worries at all, and one look at him made people feel comfortable.
"Um."
Qin Qi's suppressed emotions, which had been suppressed since the meeting, eased a little, and his tightly furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed a little. He looked away and walked straight towards the elevator.
Yaxiao stood behind him, looking at the man's resolute back, walked forward and slightly staggered his body, tilted his head and asked, "Marshal, are we going to the training ground next?"
Not long ago, the two lieutenants, Soren and Mist, had escorted Delbo away with his face covered.
The matter should be resolved.
According to the arrangement, Qin Qi should go to train new recruits.
"Not for now, just go to the office, someone should be here to see me later."
Qin Qi briefly explained and said no more. Will someone come to see the Marshal
Yaxiao paused for a moment, then thought of the marshals at the border base.
Qin Qi did not say many things clearly at the meeting. I guess he expected that the marshal would come to see him later.
"Okay, I'll prepare refreshments in the office in advance." Yaxiao said considerately.
The boy is very smart.
He never asks questions that he shouldn't ask.
Qin Qi turned his head to glance at Yaxiao's smiling eyes, then looked away, with inexplicable emotions surging in his heart.
Before, he didn't understand the origin of this emotion, but after realizing that he liked Yaxiao, everything was explained.
Qin Qi hummed, and suddenly clenched the simulated eyeball in his hand that he had taken out at some point: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yaxiao's eyes moved away from the black and red eyeballs in the other person's hands, and he unconsciously curved his lips and said, "This is my duty."
[The villain really likes my gift. ]
After the two of them got on the elevator, Yaxiao said to his fourth uncle happily in his heart.
[really.]
It is a little difficult to evaluate the system. This is not the first time that Yaxiao has said this, but every time it makes the system sigh.
The villain really likes the gifts given by the host, whether it is cufflinks or a pair of black and red eyeballs. Qin Qi even remembers to take them during the meeting. It is obvious that he likes them very much.
Yaxiao was even happier after getting the affirmation from his fourth uncle. His eyes and eyebrows showed a sense of joy, which made Qin Qi glance at him a few times. Only then did he look away in the face of Yaxiao's puzzled eyes.
When they arrived at the office, Yaxiao did as he had said before and walked briskly to the kitchen to prepare snacks. When Yaxiao's back disappeared at the door, Qin Qi withdrew his gaze, which had been staring at the boy inconspicuously, and his eyes darkened slightly.
He was the only one left in the office. Qin Qi drooped his eyelashes and frowned in thought. At this moment, the computer vibrated.
[Mister: Marshal, according to your instructions, we have arrested all suspicious persons, including Ruicheng from the eighth camp and his roommate Debo.]
The light screen of the optical computer was reflected in the dark eyes.
Qin Qi was silent for a while, then typed the word "know".
After the skeletal test in the afternoon, the suspicion of the six marshals can be temporarily ruled out.
You can make the next plan yourself.
The current situation is happening much faster than he expected.
All this is because of Crow Step.
Qin Qi's fingers stroked the screen, hiding the emotions in his eyes. Although this collaborator had many secrets, half of the credit for solving Delbo's case lay with this mysterious young man.
[Delbo has been arrested, thank you.]
After sending the message, the other party responded quickly.
[It's okay. I heard that Marshal, you guys are planning to do a bone test? ]
Crowstep is always well-informed.
Qin Qi sent a "hmm".
[That must be painful.]
However, before Qin Qi could figure out why he thought of Yaxiao, the other party sent another message.
[Marshal, have you found someone to assist you in the inspection? What do you think of me? I hold the knife very steadily. I haven't tried suturing yet, but it shouldn't be bad! ]
I can feel the young people’s expectations even through the screen.
Qin Qi took a look and turned off the screen.
Crowstep has a somewhat bad temper, which is completely different from the simple and innocent boy. How could he connect the two
Perhaps because he liked her, any sentence could be associated with the other person. Qin Qi found a very reasonable reason.
On the other side, Yaxiao saw that Qin Qi had not responded, and the tip of his tail in his trouser leg drooped down, and shook it slightly, and said quite disappointedly: "The villain really doesn't agree."
He really wanted to perform surgery on the villain.
The system was still monitoring Delbo. Upon hearing this, it lay back on the chair as usual, fanning itself with a data fan, and said casually, "There will always be a chance."
But if it were it, it would definitely not agree to let the host do it.
After all, the host's tone was clearly playful, and of course the host's concern for Qin Qi was genuine.
"Fourth uncle is right."
Yaxiao didn't know what the system was thinking. He quickly calmed himself down and wagged his tail as he said, "The villain is going to have surgery this afternoon. I have to prepare another bowl of black soup to nourish the villain when the time comes."
The medicinal materials sold in the mall are more effective than those here.
The system looked at Yaxiao, whose eyes seemed to be shining when he mentioned the villain, and always felt that something was strange, but it couldn't tell exactly where it was after searching through all the cached data.
Finally, I can only sigh that the host really likes Qin Qi.
By the time Yaxiao had prepared the tea and snacks and brought them over, his butler friend Yan Chi was standing at the door.
"Has Marshal Wistar entered yet?"
Yaxiao pushed the food cart and asked with his head slightly tilted.
Yan Chi is a butler who perfectly fits the style of the Fifth Base. He never pursues elegance, but he is strong and muscular, just as eccentric as his employer.
When Yaxiao saw Yan Chi, he was leaning against the wall playing games. Hearing what he said, he looked up and nodded at Yaxiao: "Yes, the two marshals are talking about something. We will go in later."
The refreshments are all at room temperature, so there is no need to worry about them getting cold.
Yaxiao nodded and stood at the door as well, but privately called his fourth uncle and asked about the situation at Delbo's side.
The system looked at Delbo, who was locked up and sitting on the single bed without any movement.
[everything is normal]
The all-white walls are made of special materials and provide 360-degree surveillance without blind spots. Even if the imprisoned Delbo loses control like the Taboo Master, he will not be able to escape.
[OK.]
After understanding the situation, Yaxiao turned his mouth and said in his heart: [Uncle, please help me see what Qin Qi and Weista are talking about. ]
They must be talking about Smythe.
Yaxiao was very curious about how Qin Qi would explain all this to Westa.
The atmosphere in the office was depressing.
"Whether or not Delbo is really a demon bug, it is certain that he wants to blow up the building."
When Westar thought of the iron ball containing the detonator, his face turned grim. Why would a marshal want to blow up a building
Obviously, the probability that the other party is a demon insect is much higher.
"Who is Crowstep?"
"My collaborator."
Qin Qi raised his eyelids and looked at Vista.
Westa did not bring in a sweater this time, and his attitude was more serious than usual. He saw that Qin Qi was reluctant to talk more about the collaborator, and guessed that Yabu was not a military man, otherwise the other party would have spoken frankly.
Since he was not from the military district, Wista did not ask any more questions. He asked, "What about Ge Ping? Why does he have the body of Marshal Elander?"
Marshal Elland's body was nowhere to be found.
No one had expected that the corpse had been in the hands of an inconspicuous logistics director in the military academy for so many years. No matter how Westa thought about it, it seemed wrong.
"He was my grandfather's comrade in arms, Boren."
Qin Qi knew from the beginning that Westa would come to ask him questions. When he decided to remove Delbo from office, he had already decided what to say and what not to say.
Ge Ping has been exposed, so his information naturally belongs to the former.
"Boren?!"
Wista and Qin Qi were both subordinates of Qin Qi's grandfather. He counted them carefully in his mind and finally remembered Boren, who had a temper as violent as if he had eaten dynamite every day.
Really Boren?!
Wista was shocked, and when he thought of the now amiable Ge Ping, he felt a strange sense of disconnection in his heart.
"After his grandfather died, Ge Ping had always suspected Elander's identity. However, Elander had a son named Delbo, and all the tests were positive, so he did not take any further action."
Qin Qi explained calmly.
"After Elland died, Ge Ping risked his life to take Elland's body away from the battlefield for research. After repeated verification, he concluded that the bone data was abnormal."
Wista frowned. What Qin Qi said was too bizarre. No matter whether Alande was a magic insect or Delbo was a magic insect, they were all in human form. Is it true that there are magic insects in human form
Various thoughts kept flashing through my mind.
Wista's lips moved, and he finally managed to say, "Is Delbo really Elander's son?"
Delbo has no biological mother.
According to previous gossip, Delbo was the product of Elander's love. After all, the father and son were both affectionate, so it was normal for them to have multiple children.
"Delbo is the product of Elland's split and molting."
The word "give birth" is not quite right. After all, they are not insect mothers. They are essentially the same person and will not create new individuals.
"It is initially suspected that after this species splits into a new body, the old body will be active for a period of time before dying. The exact length of time it can be active has not yet been confirmed."
Qin Qi said calmly: "After the bone test is completed, I will give you the information I have collected so far about this race."
Wista looked at Qin Qi, who was sitting opposite him with his eyes clenched in his hands, and suddenly said, "Besides Delbo and Elander, do you have any other suspects?"
Qin Qi glanced at him and said nothing.
Seeing this, Westar stood up and walked back and forth, scratching his hair hard, and suddenly felt a heavy sense of urgency of the situation.
At the border meeting, Qin Qi had been unwilling to reveal the truth about the destruction of the Seventh Base. Wista had always believed that it was because of the orders from the Council of Elders and his superiors...
But looking at it this way, perhaps all this is also related to the magic insects.
His throat was a little dry and itchy. "Forget it, don't say anything. I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water."
Qin Qi glanced at him, then lowered his head and sent a message to his butler.
—Outside the office
Yaxiao, who was quietly watching a melon, saw the scene on the screen. He adjusted his gloves, waited for the computer to ring, and then pushed the food cart in.
Well, insects that can shed their shells are just trivial matters. It is more important to let the marshal taste his special tea.
At the same time, Delbo, who had been locked up, lowered his head, and there was nothing abnormal in the surveillance video. However, no one knew that he was using brain waves to communicate with his companions.
[Is it called Crow Step? ]
Hearing his companion's voice, Delbo's peach blossom eyes were filled with a bit of coldness. He suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and said with a curved mouth:
[Well, kill him.]
