The marshal woke up at three in the morning.
Once the marshal's TH value dropped, the three adjutants immediately transported the marshal to the emergency room until the other party regained consciousness. Only then did the three people's suspended hearts completely settle down.
After multiple uses of ZYZ5 spray, it was highly likely that the out-of-control person's life would be in danger, especially during the period of unconsciousness after use. The percentage of out-of-control people who lost their lives due to their inability to withstand medicinal power was as high as one-half.
This was also the reason why Soren and Wei Cheng were unwilling to let the marshal choose this inhibitor.
But even they had to admit that under the circumstances, ZYZ5 was the best choice.
The light in the emergency room was faint, and the doctors and nurses of the fortress were very observant, leaving the room to the three adjutants when they came in.
"Where's Qin Chen?"
A slightly raspy voice rang out.
"Currently being held in the isolation room." Wei Cheng paused for a moment and added, "Emily is in charge of watching him."
If Qin Chen wasn't the marshal's brother, just based on the fact that he was deliberately carrying a disruptor, the other party shouldn't just stay in the isolation room right now.
"Marshal, what should we do with Qin Chen?"
Mist didn't beat around the bush. Currently, only the marshal knew what had happened, and how to deal with Qin Chen could only be decided by the marshal.
The emergency room was dimly lit, and the man's upper body was shrouded in darkness. No one could see the expression on his face, only the black goggle lenses and the angular jawline could be vaguely seen.
The emergency room was very quiet.
As time passed, the stone in the hearts of the three adjutants, including Mist, grew heavier and heavier. The longer the marshal remained silent, the more complicated this matter became.
"Take him away from the base. He is not allowed to set foot on the base again. If he comes in, kill him on the spot."
His voice was hoarse with composure as if he had figured out how to deal with the other party a long time ago.
The three adjutants quickly responded, their hearts sinking slightly.
What exactly did Qin Chen say that he shouldn't have said to make the marshal angry like this? One must know that the marshal, who had an iron-blooded style, was usually still very concerned about Qin Chen, his younger brother.
Now that he could give this order, it could only be that Qin Chen had stepped on the marshal's bottom line.
The three people who could mix into the position of an adjutant naturally did not have low intelligence. After understanding how to dispose of Qin Chen, the three people tacitly avoided the relevant topics and began to talk about other work.
For ordinary patients, they should rest as soon as possible after undergoing rescue, but the taboo people were different. While they possessed the taboo curse, they also gained physical reinforcement, so as long as they passed through the danger to their lives, their bodies would recover quickly.
The work of the base could not be delayed, and it was common for marshals to immediately go to work before recovering from serious injuries.
Mist focused on explaining the recent happenings of the base, such as the riot of the out-of-control person at the banquet of the marriage with the official of the Fourth Base.
During this time, Qin Qi hadn't said anything. It was only when he heard that there was an unknown substance attached to the number plates given away at the banquet and that the new butler was nearly injured that his fingers wrapped in black leather gloves knocked on the desktop.
The sound of the desktop interrupted Mist's words.
"Find out what the results are."

"Yes."
Mist nodded his head.
Compared to the civilian Mist, the other two adjutants, Soren and Wei Cheng, were quiet, not saying much from start to finish. The two of them weren't too much of a brainiac and only liked to go into battle.
Seeing that the two had finished talking about business, Wei Cheng looked at Mist and brought up what he had just heard, "Ya Xiao was attacked at the base?"
"Hm, it just happened to him on his second day at the base, but Ya Xiao is young and he's got more guts than most of the butlers before him." A little smile also appeared in Mist's eyes.
This was Mist's true thought. At the same time, he also wanted the marshal to be able to raise a little bit of goodwill towards the new butler so that they could work together more tacitly afterward.
Mist turned his head to look at the marshal in the darkness and said, "Just now, he was thinking of preparing something for you in advance to help you recover faster."
On the side, Wei Cheng's heart was relieved when he heard this. He smiled nervously and unconsciously said his thoughts, "That's good. At that moment, I saw that he wasn't in the right state. I thought that he was planning to resign just like the previous few butlers when he saw the marshal's alienation... It's good that he doesn't want to resign."
"Not in the right state?"
Mist was a little surprised at his words, but it was expected. No matter how bold Ya Xiao was, he was still a butler who grew up in the peaceful central city. It was normal that he would be scared for a while, or rather, it was normal to be scared.
As long as the resignation was not proposed, both sides can continue to cooperate.
Qin Qi, who was sitting on the hospital bed, did not comment on the conversation between the two men, and simply said, "Are you finished? Go out if you don't have anything to report."
His voice was low and magnetic, and he spoke at a calm pace, seemingly unconcerned about the new butler.
The previous butlers had proven that he was not fit to hire a butler.
If it weren't to prevent his TH value from rising to the high-risk zone when he went down to the battlefield and being unable to enter the central city, perhaps this new butler wouldn't have to come to the Sixth Base at all.
"If the new butler doesn't want to come over tomorrow morning, there's no need to force him."
Thinking of how those previous butlers were trembling and sweating coldly when they saw him, Qin Qi didn't think that the butler who saw his alienated state would be any better than them.
Hearing this, the three adjutants glanced at each other. Mist recalled Ya Xiao's expectant expression and felt that the other party was clearly not the one who didn't want to come.
But there was no need to say more now.
It all depended on what Ya Xiao would choose tomorrow. With that in mind, Mist sent a message to Ya Xiao, intending to tell him what the marshal had meant.
It was already 3 or 4 in the morning, the new butler should still be sleeping at this time. Mist didn't think that Ya Xiao would reply to him, after all, he didn't call the new butler over in the first place to let the other party have a good rest.
Who would have thought that the optical brain would vibrate in the next second?
Mist: ......
Has he been up all this time?
The door sounded and slammed shut.
The faint light in the emergency room completely disappeared, and the not-so-big room seemed to expand hundreds of times in the darkness. Qin Qi lit a cigarette, and the sparks reflected on the black goggles. The silence in his ears was deafening.
The smoke lingered and the sparks went out.
Qin Qi took off the goggles and threw them to the side. After eleven o'clock, he couldn't sleep. This stinking problem was equally applicable even now.
His palm pressed against his abdomen.
It was a hunger that had been missing for a long time.
Meanwhile, Ya Xiao was lying on his back, wagging his tail, and chatting with Mist.
A mid-level demon could go a few days without sleeping.
But under the system's education, Ya Xiao had developed the good habit of going to bed on time since childhood. At this point, he should have gone to bed long ago.
However, because the things that happened today were too exciting, Ya Xiao was late to sleep and then waited for the news from Mist.
It turned out that the villain had woken up!
Ya Xiao's eyes lit up as he stared at the screen's chat box. He shook his fist regretfully when he saw the message that the adjutants had left the emergency room and the marshal had rested.
Still, it was his habit that if the villain didn't go to bed at eleven at night, he'd be up all night. Now, it was almost four in the morning. The villain man had been awake a few minutes before, so he should be losing sleep next?
Ya Xiao pondered for a while, torn between going and not going for a long time, but still suppressed the idea of going late at night. He wanted to make a good impression on the villain. It was a bit too early if he went now. He'd wait until he was familiar with the situation.
Ya Xiao was a well-mannered demon.
He then grabbed Mist and asked in detail about the marshal's condition today.
[The marshal's TH value is still in the high-risk range, but it has stabilized. The alienation traits have disappeared, so he's currently in good condition.]
[That's great.]
Qin Qi was in good condition so he could meet the other party without any problems, Ya Xiao thought as he wagged his tail.
When he saw Mist mentioning that he could refrain from seeing the marshal for a while if he was afraid of him right now, Ya Xiao immediately refused. Of course, there was no way he wouldn't see the villain.
Not only did he refuse, but Ya Xiao was also excited to say that he would bring breakfast to the marshal on time tomorrow.
Mist saw the message up on the screen and felt a lot more favorable towards Ya Xiao. Sure enough, he wasn't wrong. Ya Xiao was indeed a responsible butler.
On the other hand, after the chat was over, Ya Xiao turned off his optical brain and got up in time to change into his tuxedo, intending to go to the kitchen of the fortress to make breakfast for him and the marshal.
Originally, the villain would only consume nutrients, but because of the side effects of gluttony, he had to ingest some food to increase his satiety.
Making the bread would take about an hour.
Ya Xiao had it all planned out. It was nearly four in the morning. According to the marshal's usual routine, seven was exactly when he would eat. He didn't want to go to sleep anyway, so when it was done, he could go straight to meet the villain.
At that time, he could take advantage of delivering breakfast and logically stay to work by the side of the powerful villain, absorbing demon value!
When the system woke up on standby, Ya Xiao had just put the prepared bread into the dish, purposely covering it to keep it warm.
[Fourth Uncle, I'm going to meet the villain!]
The system that didn't see the bread nodded heavily, silently cheering for the host in his heart: The villain will not be out of control for a while after taking the medicine. The host can just take this time to win the villain's favor!
Meanwhile, Qin Qi, who hadn't slept all night, slightly lowered his head and straightened the black glove on his left hand. The heavy curtains blocked the possibility of light penetrating through, and the darkness fostered the negative emotions hidden deep inside.
The feeling of an empty stomach caused by the side effects of ZYZ5 could easily destroy a person's sanity so that they only have the idea of devouring in their mind. Not far away, there were many delicious fast foods placed on the table. If it were a taboo person who also possessed the side effect, he would have already jumped on it and eaten everything cleanly at this time.
Qin Qi was sitting on the bed, but it was as if there was no desire to satiate his stomach. Dark lenses covered his dark eyes but could not hide his concentration at this time. His thin lips were pursed into a line. From the beginning to the end, Qin Qi did not give his attention to the food not far from the table.
He had a strict meal time. Other than that, Qin Qi would not touch any food.
Even though the hunger in his belly was familiar enough to be tiresome, he had no intention of getting up to eat.
A knock sounded on the door.
After receiving permission, Wei Cheng opened the door to his room, and faint light poured in from the corridor.
"Marshal, Ya Xiao has brought you breakfast."
It was now seven in the morning.
Punctual. It happened to be his meal time.
Qin Qi turned his head sideways and looked at the young butler standing behind Wei Cheng. Even through the black lenses that blocked out the light, he could see that the young man's expression seemed to be very pleasant and easily infected the emotions of the people around him.
It wasn't like he was afraid of him.
Qin Qi faintly commented.
Wei Cheng scratched his head as he introduced the two to each other with a simple smile. Then, he saw Ya Xiao open the lid that held the breakfast after greeting the marshal.
On the clean white plate, there were three skeleton breads. The empty eye sockets were dark, and the jaws were open with an exaggerated range, like an unknown being with a weird smile. The viscous purple liquid on the skulls was like venom poured on them, oozing with eeriness.
The sweetness of the bread and the eerie shape seem to convey a message: Come and eat me, but I'm poisonous.
Wei Cheng: ......
Ah, no, this stuff was for the marshal? What the hell was that purple liquid? Was there really this jam in the kitchen?
Even Wei Cheng, a tough guy who didn't have any pursuit of what to eat, couldn't help but fall into disbelief when he saw the marshal's breakfast looking like this.
Was this new butler trying to get back at the marshal?
This thing just doesn't look normal, right?
Without waiting for him to come back to his senses, Wei Cheng noticed in the next second that the marshal, who had not been reacting much, picked up that inexplicable contraption and tasted it, commenting lightly, "The bread is good."
The eyes of the black-haired youth next to him lit up, and he said very happily, "Right? I also think the bread baked this time was a success. It's very beautiful!"
The marshal didn't deny it.
Wei Cheng: ......???
Was there something wrong with me?
