The specific cause of the villain's death, as explained in the original book, was that his TH value soared on the battlefield, causing him to lose control of his mind and commit suicide.
As for the truth, the protagonists did not see it with their own eyes, so naturally they don’t know whether it is true or false.
Yaxiao stood there, sighed, and said rather tactfully: "Weishi and Qin Chen really missed a lot of things."
Who says it’s not
The system secretly felt that they were so useless. They investigated the entire book, but in the end, they even got the cause of the villain's death from other people.
[Host, what should we do next? ]
"Fight with the sparring partner that Edfu found specially for me."
As he spoke, he curled his eyes. Yaxiao had already discussed with the villain. He would deal with Edfu and the killers, while the villain would be responsible for dealing with the "adult" who might be hiding in the Elders' Council.
Now Yaxiao still looked like an adult. He tilted his head slightly and said meaningfully, "Fourth Uncle, has Edfu taken any action?"
Will he send the killer to look for him soon
Yaxiao was eager to try.
The system knew the host's personality well in advance. After finding Edfu's trace, it had been quietly paying attention to him. When it heard the host's question, it directly responded:
[Edfu has contacted the killer. I have successfully recorded their locations. The host can act at any time.]
It's already eleven o'clock at night.
It wouldn't be too late for Yaxiao to take action tomorrow, but he decided to solve the matter now.
"I have something to do tomorrow."
Yaxiao made up an excuse for himself.
Looking at the black-haired boy's excited look, the system didn't believe Yaxiao's nonsense at all. It was sure that the host must want to fight!
[Okay host, please be safe. ]
The system did not stop it. Judging from the host's current level of demonic value absorption, there should be few people in this world who can harm the host.
Yaxiao squatted on a tree branch, glanced at the killers' hideout on the screen, made an OK gesture to his fourth uncle, tapped his toes, and the young man wearing a clown mask disappeared among the interlaced branches.
—The fifteenth floor of a building
The crisp sound of wine bottles colliding could be heard from time to time, mixed with fierce shouting and laughter. The coffee table was littered with fruit and vegetable crumbs, and nine figures could be seen in the dim light.
Some of them were eating, some were drinking, and some were resting with their eyes closed. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all had a fierce temperament and could not hide their identities as desperate criminals.
The man with a scar on his face sat back on the sofa, casually twirling a dagger in his right hand, the light of the cigarette flickering as he looked at his companion who was typing on the computer.
"did you find it?"
"Dongue, congratulations on asking the key question. My answer is 'not yet'."
Dongge frowned upon hearing this, and the scar on his face looked even more ferocious. He threw the silver dagger hard with his right hand, and it embedded deeply into the wall. He said in an unhappy voice: "What's going on?"
Rui Jing, who was sitting in front of the computer, shrugged and said, "I am using the latest technology, but the target's address has never been captured by any surveillance camera."
"Don't you think this is strange?"
"What's so strange about this?"
The woman who was painting her nails nearby said in a contemptuous tone, "Didn't the employer tell us? He is a spy planted by the army outside. It's normal for him to avoid surveillance. We just need to wait outside his house and we will get rid of him sooner or later."
"Nata, how could I not know such a simple question?" Ruijing was a professional investigator. He bit the mint in his mouth and explained with a hum: "The surveillance cameras I deployed have already investigated the other party's residence, but the door lock of that place is old and the room is covered with dust. There is no sign of habitation at all."
"Do you know what this means?" Ruijing exaggerated:
"This shows that the guy named Crowstep is as cautious as us. He doesn't live there at all!"
"He has been avoiding cameras. His anti-detection ability must be very strong. In addition, his whereabouts are unknown. In this case, tell me how to kill the target?"
Ruijing was the last person to take on such an order, but the amount offered by the employer was so tempting.
Nata was a woman with a hot temper. She hated it most when people spoke to her harshly. Ruijing explained to her, but the tone that clearly looked down on her made Nata angry.
Several companions nearby noticed that Nata put her hands on her waist, and they were startled and quickly interrupted.
"For such a troublesome business, the employer must be asked to pay more!"
"Yes, the target's whereabouts are elusive, and even the employer doesn't know where he is. It's too difficult to find such a difficult guy."
"I'll be so angry if I don't make a lot of money from him!"
Ruijing didn't know that his head was in danger of exploding. When he heard his companion's words and was about to nod in agreement, there was a sudden thudding sound outside the window.
The room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere instantly became solemn.
The killers present signaled to each other with vigilant eyes. In their line of work, it was common to be visited by enemies.
But they had just changed their base, and they were found so easily. It was obvious that the guy who came to them was not simple.
Could it be the subordinates of the merchant guild leader whom they assassinated two weeks ago
There was no movement outside the window, as if waiting for their reaction.
Noticing the eye signals from his companions, Ruijing suppressed the panic in his heart, slowly exhaled, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was no longer a hoarse male voice, but a slightly pure female voice.
"who?"
Voice changing is Ruijing’s specialty.
This is also to confuse the opponent and test his identity.
The person outside the window seemed to be sure of their background and was not affected. The sound of knocking on the window was heard again.
Next second - Gaba
The locked windows opened.
The white moonlight poured down.
The young man who was half-crouching on the window grabbed the window frame with his left hand, jumped in easily, and landed on the floor with his feet.
The smooth movements revealed the young man's powerful strength.
His hair was braided into a scorpion braid and he wore a clown mask with an exaggerated smile, which looked particularly weird in the moonlight.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
The young man curved his lips and said, "In order not to waste time and affect my next plan, shall we start as soon as possible?"
Start what
The eight killers present each held a weapon and looked vigilantly at the strange young man who suddenly came into the room.
Only Ruijing, who had read the target information early in the morning, felt his throat tighten. He stood behind his companions and asked with horror: "Are you Crow Step?"
Didn’t the employer place the order just an hour ago
Why did the target of the mission come to them before they even started? You know, in this hour, he didn't even find the real address of Crowstep, let alone take action!
Countless guesses flashed through his mind, and Ruijing's eyes were fixed on the tall young man in the moonlight. Just as he was about to alert his companions, the strange black and white mask immediately turned to him.
The sound of a chuckle spread in the air, sending chills down one's spine: "Yes, I am Crowstep."
An affirmative answer is even more creepy.
Something is wrong, there is something wrong with this man!
Ruijing's keen intuition told him that the situation was extremely dangerous. He was tense all over and wanted to escape immediately.
At the same time, upon hearing the word "Crow Step", the expressions of the killer companions beside them all changed, realizing that the current situation had changed.
"What do you want to do with us?"
Yaxiao looked at the alert people in front of him, briefly assessed their strength, and was very satisfied. These killers were very strong, at least much stronger than the humans who had assassinated the marshal before.
Hearing their questions, Yaxiao said politely: "Aren't you going to kill me? I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find me, so I came here early."
The young man wearing a clown mask spoke with a smile.
However, the content of the words was not funny.
As members of a professional killer organization, they were well aware that the young man in front of them had unfathomable strength. However, the young man's provocative words still made several desperate criminals unable to resist the urge to kill.
Didn't the list given to them by the employer say that this guy was just an ordinary military undercover? He was so crazy, wasn't he normal?!
The nine people present looked at each other.
No matter how strong the opponent was, he was only one person. In a breath, nine killers who were well versed in murder finalized the plan. Several figures hiding in the darkness quickly rushed towards the young man standing in the moonlight.
Seeing this, Yaxiao raised the corners of his mouth behind the mask.
the next day.
Adjutant Mist reported his work content to the marshal as usual. Looking at the last entry in the notebook, his expression was a little strange. Under Qin Qi's indifferent gaze, he continued to report calmly.
"This morning, there were nine unconscious men and women in front of our temporary accommodation."
"They all have scorpion marks on their shoulders. According to the investigation results, these people are the Black Scorpion Organization that has been lingering in several human bases and making a living by murder."
"Because of the serious injuries and inability to move, he is temporarily detained by us for treatment."
The Black Scorpion Organization acted without scruples, and several bases working together were unable to capture them. Thinking of this, Mist was even more confused as to who had captured them.
However, no matter who it is, Black Scorpion must have offended someone.
He knew that this matter was related to Crow Step, so he did not dwell on it for long. His eyes stayed on the word "Black Scorpion" for a moment, and he said in a cold voice: "Block the news of Black Scorpion's arrest."
Mist was a little confused, but nodded instinctively and chose to follow the instructions.
Qin Qi had no intention of explaining the doubts to his subordinates, and said calmly: "You go to take charge of the training. I will meet with Elder Ke Bo later."
Mist closed the notebook: "Yes!"
The meeting with the elders was part of the marshal's schedule and had been arranged long ago. After the report was completed, Mist left the office.
The marshal specifically issued an order that someone with a tight-lipped mouth should be found to block the news about the Black Scorpion, and no one else would be suitable.
Mist thought, let him do it himself.
Just as he made up his mind, he looked up and ran into Yaxiao who was pushing a food cart. The boy had curly black hair, fair skin, and his curved blue eyes seemed even brighter than usual.
"Yaxiao, are you in a good mood?"
Mist greeted him.
Yaxiao nodded with his eyes bent, and said with a smile: "I am very happy because I exercised a little."
Those nine killers are indeed professionals.
Yaxiao had a lot of fun yesterday.
Mister only thought that Yaxiao's movement was literal, and he didn't think much about it, and continued: "Marshal will go out later. Soran and I are both in the military academy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us."
"Do not worry."
Yaxiao agreed immediately.
After the adjutant left, Yaxiao pondered the villain's next plan. There were five elders in the Elder Council.
According to what Qin Qi said yesterday, he seemed to suspect that Elder Erdi was the mastermind behind this.
However, today Qin Qi only made an appointment with Ke Bo.
Elder Kobo is the most respected among all the elders and is considered the leader of the elders.
Yaxiao thought about it for a moment and didn't think about it anymore.
The villain told him to leave all of this to him, and he only had to deal with the killer and Edfu.
I had so much fun fighting the killers yesterday.
When he came to his senses, it was almost dawn. Yaxiao had wanted to get rid of Edfu at the same time, but in the end he didn't have time to do it.
We can only take action tonight.
With this in mind, Yaxiao walked into the office to deliver food to Qin Qi. He stayed beside him and quietly absorbed the demon value for a while. When the agreed time was almost up, he followed Qin Qi to find Elder Kobo.
"You are very happy?"
Sitting in the hovercraft, Qin Qi also noticed Yaxiao's good mood.
"Is it so obvious?"
Yaxiao touched his face. When he was outside the office before, he heard what Mist said and deliberately restrained himself a little, but it seemed to have no effect
Qin Qi hummed.
Yaxiao knew that Qin Qi had a lot of things to deal with next. He thought about it, straightened his lips, and his expression became more serious so as not to affect Qin Qi.
Qin Qi glanced at the butler beside him who was suppressing his smile.
It was quiet on the hovercraft.
After a few minutes, Qin Qi suddenly said, "You don't have to be like this. I didn't mean anything else just now."
He paused. “I really like your smile.”
Yaxiao was originally putting on a serious expression, using his mind to swipe the mall screen to select toys, when he suddenly heard Qin Qi's comments.
Yaxiao turned his head and looked at the calm marshal beside him.
It was the first time that someone praised him for his smile.
The villain likes to laugh at himself
Yaxiao's tail, hidden in his trouser leg, swayed up and down, and he felt a little strange.
Qin Qi noticed the young man's gaze on him. He was silent for a moment and turned his head to look at Yaxiao.
When their eyes met, Qin Qi saw that the corners of Yaxiao's mouth suddenly curved up, and those beautiful blue eyes were like glass beads in the sun, dazzling and clear.
"Then I'll smile more."
Yaxiao said to Qin Qi solemnly, as if he was making some kind of promise.
I like your smile.
Then I will smile more.
This straightforward conversation was like a passionate confession. Qin Qi's throat tightened and he hummed calmly, his heart beating fast and violently like a drum, and he struggled to move his eyes away from the boy's delicate features.
Qin Qi knew that his disguise was still very good. At least when they arrived at the agreed location, Yaxiao, with a smile on his face again, did not notice anything wrong.
Yaxiao followed Qin Qi briskly, looking at his calm back, and said to the system that had just woken up in a good mood: [Fourth Uncle, the villain said he likes my smile very much.]
At this moment, that wonderful feeling seemed to have disappeared, yet it also seemed not to have disappeared. Yaxiao could only describe the scene just now to his fourth uncle in a dry voice.
The system yawned, took a sip of data tea to wake itself up, and without thinking too much, said directly: [The host's smile is beautiful and energetic, it's normal for the villain to like it. ]
Yaxiao was even happier when he was praised by his fourth uncle.
[Yeah?]
But it seemed that when he was praised by the villain, it was different from when he was praised by his fourth uncle. Yaxiao couldn't tell the difference between the two, and soon put them behind his mind, standing quietly beside the Marshal.
At this time, Qin Qi had already met Ke Bo.
However, Qin Qi had no intention of letting Yaxiao leave, and the topics they talked about were all irrelevant.
But when leaving, Elder Cobo gave Qin Qi a silver key.
Qin Qi calmly put the key into his pocket.
It seemed that this was his purpose from the beginning.
This key might be related to the mastermind behind the Elders' Council. Yaxiao was curious but didn't care too much.
After all, the villain said he was here to deal with "that adult."
Yaxiao trusted Qin Qi very much, so naturally he didn't plan to interfere.
But there is no doubt that Crowstep must be responsible for Edfu, the subordinate of "that lord".
Thinking of this, that night, Yashao transformed into Crowstep and came to the villa where Edfu was.
Edfu was alone in the villa.
He frowned and kept sending messages to an account, but all his messages fell on deaf ears.
What happened to the Black Scorpion Organization
Why don't you reply to the message?!
They couldn't have all been killed by Crow Step, could they? Impossible, it was only a short time? !
The adults haven't contacted him yet, and Edfu's ominous feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind me.
Edfu's heart skipped a beat and he turned around immediately. When he saw the young man wearing a clown mask, before he could move, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
It's time to call it a day.
After knocking the man unconscious, Yaxiao clapped his hands.
Edfu should be a contact person like Sheng Cheng, but he is not a military member and his reaction is not good at all, so it is naturally not as troublesome to solve as Sheng Cheng.
The next step was to find a reason for the army to lock him up.
Yaxiao grabbed Edfu's collar and planned to take the man away, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Come out."
Yaxiao said in a brisk tone, his eyes fixed on a corner of the villa.
Wei Shi and Qin Chen, who were hiding in a room in the villa, felt a chill down their spines and almost stopped breathing when they heard these words.
No, they didn't make any sound. How did this sudden murderer know that they were hiding next door? !
Are your ears so sensitive?!
