After dealing with the villain's memories, Ya Xiao's big problem was finally solved. He wagged his tail, temporarily suppressing the anxiety that arose within him due to the zeroing out of his magic power.
Letting Fourth Uncle guard the villain first, Ya Xiao turned around and ran to the next room, sending a video call to Mist's side.
The video was dialed in quickly, and the screen floating in mid-air reflected Mist's anxious expression.
"Ya Xiao, the marshal is out of control? How is it on your side now?"
Almost the instant Qin Qi lost control, the alarm signal was received on the optical brains of the adjutants. The two who were in the headquarters building acted at the first opportunity.
Mist and Soren rushed to the marshal's villa at a rapid speed while at the same time following the marshal's out-of-control situation on the surveillance.
The surveillance projection in the villa would only transfer the image to their optical brain when the marshal was out of control.
The two of them watched as the marshal nearly injured Ya Xiao. The new butler seemed to be so shocked that he even forgot to hide. If it wasn't for the nanny robot rushing over to save Ya Xiao, perhaps the two of them would have had to witness a scene where the marshal killed the new butler with his own hands.
Such a frightening scene made both Mist and Soren's mood sink. Fortunately, the robot enveloped the human's aura. The out-of-control marshal had no interest in making a move on the robot and stepped directly out of the villa.
The surveillance then cut off the signal.
In just a few minutes, Mist and Soren had already anticipated all the worst scenarios. Their faces were getting worse and worse, and it was at this time that they received a video communication from Ya Xiao.
As soon as they saw Ya Xiao, the two adjutants instantly breathed a sigh of relief. In their imagination, Ya Xiao's death was the most horrible outcome, and it was good that the other party was fine now.
"The marshal regained his senses within five minutes. He is currently sleeping and is in good health."
Ya Xiao smiled at the two adjutants, "You guys shouldn't worry too much."
When the two adjutants heard that the marshal regained consciousness within five minutes, the burden weighing on their hearts was instantly lifted.
Soren, who was wearing a gas mask, gave a muffled hmmm and stopped looking at Ya Xiao, concentrating on driving the hovercar.
Mist, on the other hand, curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled as he turned to Ya Xiao, "Alright, we're both on our way to the villa, we'll be there soon."
He then tightened his smile as he looked at his new butler's slightly pale face and gave the other man a few words of concern. The marshal's out-of-control incident today must have once again given the butler, who was just an ordinary man, a fright.
The young butler on the other side of the screen, however, shook his head to indicate that he was fine and also urged them to be careful on the road before politely hanging up the phone.
Silence fell in the hovercar.
The two adjutants tacitly did not talk about the matter of the marshal losing control, or rather they were used to the matter of the marshal losing control every other day.
The reason for the urgency was largely due to the fear for the new butler in the villa. They were both well aware that it was the first time Ya Xiao had faced the marshal's loss of control alone and head-on.
"Hey, what do you think of Ya Xiao's mood right now?" Mist elbowed the stuffy man next to him and speculated, "The expression on his face just now didn't look like he was panicked and scared to me."
Saying that, he dismissed his own words again, "Ya Xiao was almost killed by the marshal at that moment, how could he not be scared? He should be forcing a smile right now."
"You know and still ask?"
Soren's low, muffled voice came out from under the gas mask.
Mist ignored his brother's talk and touched the optical brain at his wrist pondering, "Now that Ya Xiao is behaving as usual, it suggests that he's not planning to resign like the other butlers, which is good news."
Soren glanced at him and didn't say anything.
"Ya Xiao's professionalism is so high."
This was obviously not something that could be summarized in one sentence. It should be known that the previous butlers' quality was not low before they saw the marshal out of control, and each of them acted seriously and responsibly. Mist pondered for a while and skeptically surmised, "Maybe it's because he admires the marshal?"
Soren wasn't interested in that and casually said, "Maybe."
Just like the previous butlers' frantic attempts to escape, they, the adjutants, couldn't change anything at all even if they knew the other party's reasons for resigning or staying.

Mist straightened up, deeply feeling that his guess was very accurate, and inwardly sighed at Ya Xiao's vision, making a mental note of this matter.

Ya Xiao wagged his tail, his eyes sweeping over the wretched scene around him.
Qin Qi had lost control in the master bedroom, which meant that, in the entire villa, the room where he lived was the most damaged.
The floor was sunken and uneven, not to mention that the books in the bookcase were messily placed all over the floor and covered with a layer of dust.
Originally, Ya Xiao wanted to change his room, but the villain only liked to sleep in this room, so if he were to change to another place, it might upset him.
Ya Xiao stood still, his tail swishing in a small way, and walked over to the two open boxes, crouching down to observe what was inside.
[Host, what's wrong?]
"I'm wondering what the villain lost control over." Ya Xiao analyzed the situation. Before losing control, the only thing Qin Qi had done was to take his grandfather's belongings back to his room.
The only things that could make him lose control were these two things.
A worn black military uniform and two sharp swords that glowed with a dark light purple color.
There was nothing special about these things on the surface. After thinking about it, Ya Xiao put them into separate boxes and then placed the boxes inside the storage room downstairs.
It was the butler's duty to prohibit his employer from touching any existence that might make him lose control, so Ya Xiao packed the boxes with a rightful attitude and without the slightest bit of hesitation.
[Why would these two things make the villain lose control?] The system was very puzzled.
Ya Xiao wasn't sure either, he guessed wildly, "In the original plot, the villain cared a lot about his grandfather. Since these are his grandfather's belongings, maybe he lost control because he remembered his grandfather?"
But today, when Wei Duo was mentioning the villain's grandfather, Qin Qi didn't lose control, so this guess doesn't add up at the moment.
"Either way, we have to try to avoid any possibility of Qin Qi losing control."
Ya Xiao made a final conclusion.
Whether it was Wei Duo or these things, it seemed that the marshal's loss of control had something to do with someone he valued, but just what the exact taboo was, Ya Xiao still needed to observe again.
After sending the boxes down, Ya Xiao set the nanny robot aside to do the cleaning downstairs.
The nanny robot at the lowest volume moved extremely gently while cleaning, making sure that it wouldn't disturb the villain. He went straight up to the second floor, intending to stay by the villain's side to collect demon values.
At the thought of his cleared demon value and magical power, Ya Xiao's heart began to ache again, and the tip of his tail drooped with it.
Having done it all, powerful demons never regretted what they had done, but that didn't mean that Ya Xiao wouldn't be heartbroken over his depleted magic.
Ya Xiao looked down at the villain for a long time, unable to calm his emotions. Even when Fourth Uncle reminded him that he was in the process of collecting demon values, he couldn't contain his sadness.
The little bit of magic power that had been accumulated was gone with a snap, which hardworking demon could stand it?
It was at this time that Qin Qi woke up.
Healing was different from inhibitors. The taboo person who stabilized his TH value through healing would hardly experience any side effects. Qin Qi was like having a long dream without the slightest bit of discomfort.
Noticing someone around him, Qin Qi, whose consciousness had just returned, quickly opened his eyes and looked over vigilantly.
He then froze for a moment.
The butler who was always sunny and loved to smile as if he didn't have any troubles, had sadness in his eyes at this moment. A layer of blurry watery mist filled his blue eyes, his head slightly hanging down, the corners of his lips pursed, and his fingers clenched on his pants leg, looking aggrieved.
"Marshal, you woke up?"
In Qin Qi's gaze, when the butler who was originally immersed in sadness saw himself waking up, the sadness that was about to overflow from his eyes quickly disappeared and was replaced by pure joy and happiness.
The warm and pure emotion was so strong that it was like a straight ball crashing hard into Qin Qi's heart.
He subconsciously avoided the other party's eyes and hmmed.
"Marshal, are you physically uncomfortable anywhere right now?" Ya Xiao didn't notice Qin Qi's abnormality and asked in a concerned tone.
"I'm fine."
Qin Qi didn't have a deep memory of what happened before he lost control. He frowned slightly and only remembered that he was staring at his grandfather's belongings in contemplation and then he fell into a state of loss of control.
What he was thinking about before he lost control, Qin Qi couldn't quite remember, which was one of the reasons why his taboos were complicated and difficult to understand.
However, Qin Qi had some vague impression of what happened after he lost control. In the broken and fragmented images, he saw the fragile butler narrowly escaping being attacked by himself.
Qin Qi's throat was a little dry as if there was something blocking the inside of his throat. It was like this again....
"I apologize for giving you a fright."
Qin Qi had already anticipated the butler's reaction. He might stiffly hold on to his trembling body like the first butler, his eyes full of fear but forcibly pretending that nothing was wrong, or perhaps he would request to leave his job like the second butler did after hesitating.
As for the third, Qin Qi felt that it was very unlikely because that butler had escaped from the base before he woke up and was bitten to death by the demon insects.
However, to Qin Qi's surprise, Ya Xiao nodded earnestly as if he very much agreed.
"It did scare me to death."
The black-haired butler still had lingering fears when he mentioned this matter, sighing, "The flower seeds I just planted in the villa's courtyard this morning were almost destroyed when you lost control."
Qin Qi: ......
"But don't worry, Marshal."
As if the young man was very worried about Qin Qi blaming himself for his guilt, his blue eyes looked solemn and purposely relieved him, "I've already checked, those flower seeds are all still alive! They'll be able to produce very beautiful flowers in two months."
"Well, that's good."
After a long silence, Qin Qi nodded in a complicated manner.
Perhaps because the result was too far from what he wanted, Qin Qi didn't ask Ya Xiao why he could tell that the flower seeds buried in the soil were alive. This kind of thing logically could only be seen to be alive or not after the seedlings grew.
In Qin Qi's opinion, Ya Xiao's answer just now was purely to comfort himself, and mentioning the unimportant flowers was just a clever way to change the subject.
Qin Qi's eyes darkened slightly. As long as it was clear to him that Ya Xiao also had no intention of leaving his job after bumping into his out-of-control behavior, that was enough.
As for seeing the young man's sad expression and the look of pure joy after knowing that he had woken up, Qin Qi pursed his lips and pressed the matter to the bottom of his heart.
As long as they could maintain a cooperative relationship between them before the spring meeting, nothing else mattered.
The room was very quiet.
Ya Xiao was not sure what the villain was thinking. His purpose was very clear, and that was to stay by Qin Qi's side to collect demon values. As long as Qin Qi did not state what he was allowed to do, he could stay within one meter of the other party all the time!
Ya Xiao stood by Qin Qi's bedside, looking at the transparent screen drawn out on which the demon value that had been cleared to zero had turned into 0.5. His heart was finally satisfied quite a bit.
It was also at this time that Mist and Soren finally arrived outside the villa.
"Let's go."
Qin Qi pinched his wrist and stood up. His straight military uniform was slightly wrinkled. He frowned.
In the next second, the young man beside him very thoughtfully smoothed out the unflattering areas.
Qin Qi raised his eyes to look at the butler, whose eyebrows were arched and happy as always, and withdrew his gaze.
Ya Xiao followed Qin Qi's lead into the living room.
The two adjutants saw that there were no signs of injuries on both of them and only then did they completely relax.
They didn't ask about the reason why the marshal lost control. These things wouldn't be of any use even if they talked about them. After a brief greeting, Mist turned to other things:
"On our way to the villa, the monitor's image was blocked for about three minutes. The monitor is currently back to normal."
Of course, the surveillance footage on their side had been cut off long after the marshal had lifted his loss of control.
"We need to draft a solution for the magnetic field that may be disturbed when you lose control."
Mist and Soren both felt that the probability of this matter of surveillance being blocked was caused by the marshal after discussing it.
Next to him, Ya Xiao stood within a meter behind Qin Qi. He watched and behaved as if all of it had nothing to do with him.
He quietly listened to the adjutants discussing the drafting of the plan with the villain and became distracted in boredom. It was only when he heard a certain word that Ya Xiao faintly raised a few points of interest.
"Marshal, we've currently received a notification from the coordinating officer's side that in roughly five days, the marshals of the border bases will need to head to the fifth base for a border meeting."
The border meeting, as the name suggests, was a meeting jointly organized and attended by bases located along the first borderline. The main purpose was also to first consult on the proposal for the meeting, in preparation for the spring meeting two months later.
"Got it."
Qin Qi paused for a moment and turned to look at Ya Xiao, "When the time comes, you need to go with me."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao nodded, his tail hidden inside his pants wagging a bit. The plot also mentioned the border meeting.
He remembered that there were quite a few people trying to assassinate the villain within the participating bases, going back and forth, making this plot point quite lively.
Thinking that there were so many people trying to kill the villain, Ya Xiao felt more and more that the villain was really a troublesome man.
But the only good thing was that none of the assassins at the border meeting had the status of an officer, so when the time came, he didn't have to worry as much as he did when he tackled Sheng Cheng.
He could just find time to use the experience voucher, put on the shell of a great demon, and take care of them all in one go!
[Host, will you get into trouble?]
[It's okay oh.]
Ya Xiao was at ease with his clown mask. He wagged his tail a bit and relieved his Fourth Uncle: [Those who do bad things are big demons, what does it have to do with me, a weak butler?]
The system felt it made sense.
The adjutants came and left very quickly. Because of the time, the villa could only be repaired tomorrow.
After making an appointment for tomorrow's repairs, Ya Xiao watched the two leave. He walked inside the villa with cheerful steps. At this time, Qin Qi had already gotten up, intending to go back to his room to rest.
"Marshal, are you going to continue staying in your master bedroom?"
Qin Qi lowered his head and saw Ya Xiao looking at him with concern.
Qin Qi was too lazy to change rooms again.
If he changed rooms, he wouldn't necessarily be able to sleep himself.
"Oh."
Ya Xiao nodded in understanding.
Just as Qin Qi was about to continue up the stairs, the clear and earnest voice behind him sounded again, "Marshal, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Qin Qi's steps lurched as he turned to look over.
Ya Xiao raised his head, his blue eyes permeated with strong concern and worry, "I'm worried that your TH value will spike again."
Well, the main thing was that the demon value really wasn't quite enough.
