Everything happened so suddenly.
Mist's eyes flashed under his glasses, and he immediately ran to Ya Xiao's side, shielding him.
The young butler's eyes were confused, and his face was pale as if he hadn't realized what had happened. When he got up from the floor, his hand holding two plates trembled slightly. He looked pitiful.
"Don't be afraid."
Mist's heart sank slightly, guessing that there might be a taboo out of control from the Fourth Base.
Once a taboo bearer lost control, their physique would be greatly stimulated. As the number of times they lost control increased, their strength would increasingly converge to that of a monster.
What's going on with the person in charge? Why would they let a taboo person on the verge of threshold enter the venue?
It was too late to think clearly. Dozens of knives and forks suddenly flew in front of him, their sharp blades shining brightly under the light.
Mist blocked the front of Ya Xiao's body, quickly popped open the button on his waist, and drew out two silver-white guns from it. Bang, bang, bang, bang, the bullets seemed like lasers, bouncing away the flying knives and forks.
The surroundings became more and more chaotic. There were not only base officers attending this banquet, but also quite a few ordinary people like Ya Xiao, and screams continued to ring out.
The ability of the taboo person who triggered the riot was very strong.
He had lost control at least five times.
Mist secretly tsked in displeasure. His hands kept pressing the triggers, and the bullets from the two special MT2s kept crashing into the flying knives and forks.
Somehow, the number of knives and forks attacking their side was extraordinarily high.
The sound of gunshots ringing out one after another made the ordinary people even more fearful. Mist didn't stop, and as if he sensed something, he quickly pulled Ya Xiao to run back in the next second.
At the same moment, a long scythe rotated as if it were a hurricane and appeared to bounce off the knives and forks that flew at great speed. Countless knives and forks crackled and were knocked to the ground. Soren held the scythe in front of the two people.
"Fifty meters southeast of the second floor."
As soon as Mist's words fell, the scythe in Soren's hand swung. In the blink of an eye, the entire person disappeared.
Ya Xiao thoughtfully glanced towards a certain corner of the second floor, then retracted his sight and concentrated on playing the role of the poor butler who was affected by the chaos.
"It's okay, it's over."
Mist looked down to see the pale-faced youth and spoke out in a soothing voice, "Soren will sort it out soon."
He held up his glasses, breathing a little sharply. Mist was a civilian. Although he had regular training, it wasn't very intense, and he had never been on the battlefield.
The venue was very wretched.
The incident was sudden, and the knives and forks were swept widely. The officers of the bases had been protecting the ordinary people until the attack stopped. Their subordinates gathered around, and the representative of the Fourth Base came up with apprehension to try to explain to Mist.
Ya Xiao looked down at the treats he was protecting in his hands, a little tempted to eat them while watching the action. However, he thought about it for a moment and placed the treats on the table next to him.
The representative of the Fourth Base was freaking out at first glance and explained in a panic, "Before we came to the Sixth Base, his TH value had always been within the normal range."
We're sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we're going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Mist smiled. His temper was still as good as ever, only that the words he uttered instead made the other party even more fearful, "I know oh, but that taboo person still can't leave the Sixth Base."
"Lf lr atf tfgb bo beg yjrf!"
"Dea tf'r ibra mbcagbi lc beg yjrf."

Ktf geifr bo atf Vlzat Djrf.
The six simple words made Vitin speechless for a long time.
Ya Xiao, who was happily standing by, heard these words and was reminded that the villain seemed to be very concerned about the rules and set up a whole bunch of regulations.
The taboos were regarded as heroes.
In other bases, they have many privileges, but in the Sixth Base, not only do the taboos, including the marshal, not have any privileges, but they will also be punished severely if they lose control of themselves in a public place.
[The villain's style is ironclad.]
The system's electronic voice sounded. It was worried about Ya Xiao's well-being, and it hadn't been turned off during the banquet.
[Indeed.] Ya Xiao felt a bit sad. The villain's eyes can't tolerate even a single grain of sand. He thought about it and said in his mind: [Fourth Uncle, after going back, I want to continue to train my butler skills in the virtual space].
[Okay, but why did you suddenly mention this matter?]
[The villain is a person who values rules. If his butler does something that doesn't conform to the rules, he will definitely not continue to trust and get close to the other party.]
Ya Xiao's tone was a bit serious.
Only by being perfect could he gain the villain's trust.
The system raised his glasses. What the host said didn't seem to be wrong. In the original book plot, the villain really didn't have a good attitude towards those few butlers who kept trying to break the contract.
While Ya Xiao and the system were figuring out how they could get along with the villain and smoothly build their happy and good relationship, the atmosphere in the venue had been frozen for a long time.
It wasn't until Soren threw the out-of-control person who had destroyed the venue in front of the crowd that the representative of the Fourth Base, Vitin, loosened up and eased the atmosphere, "I know, but his life must be guaranteed."
"Of course, the taboo with the number BFE06 is talented at long-range shooting."
Mist's mouth hooked into a smile, "Our base has always played by the rules. We don't just let heroes lose their lives."
This was not a nice thing to say.
However, in the end, it was the person from their side who had the problem, and Vitin could only swallow his anger for the time being.
Ya Xiao didn't pay attention to the case between the representatives of the two bases. He looked at the out-of-control person who had been thrown to the ground with slight curiosity.
The skinny middle-aged man had been injected with a tranquilizer, but he obviously hadn't regained his sanity. He kept struggling to tear off the chains, hissing a strange language under his breath, not caring in the least about his already blood-soaked body.
What made people feel even more bizarre was that the pair of eyes belonging to a human disappeared, replaced by two pairs of red compound eyes, like cloudy red amber, magnificent but without the slightest human emotion.
So this is what happens when a taboo person goes out of control?
Ya Xiao lost interest after a few glances. It was nothing rare, not strong, and not pretty.
On the side, Mist was about to arrange the next thing after the discussion with the Fourth Base when he inadvertently noticed that Ya Xiao's spirit didn't seem to be too good. It was only then that he remembered that the new butler was nearly injured just now.
Generally speaking, butlers had the responsibility of assisting the taboo, but in fact, except for a small number of unforeseen circumstances, there would rarely be a scene where the butler would directly bump into an out-of-control employer.
Ya Xiao wasn't very old after all, and what had just happened should have scared him quite a bit.
"Ya Xiao, you go back first and take a good rest."
Mist talked for a few moments and found that Ya Xiao's emotions weren't as serious as he thought, so he was quite relieved, "I'll ask Soren to send you back."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao was feeling bored. His eyes curved, and he was in a much better mood after knowing that he could leave the field.
The two exchanged a few brief words. When Soren came over, Mist was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Yasho.
"What's wrong?" Mist was a bit puzzled.
"I still have the number plate for the banquet."
Ya Xiao pulled out the ugly number plate from his pocket. Although he wanted to just throw it away, it was said that the number plate was for the raffle. Ya Xiao was curious to see if he would be able to draw a prize, even though it looked like the raffle ceremony wouldn't be held at the moment.
Mist was just about to open his mouth to say that the number plate was no longer useful, but in the next moment, his gaze under his gold-framed glasses suddenly became a bit grave. He was silent for a moment as he reached out and took it, "Alright, leave it to me."
After settling the ugly number plate, Ya Xiao felt that all his tasks had been accomplished and left the banquet with light footsteps following Soren's lead.
Mist watched the two leave and turned back to the crowd. There were still a lot of things to investigate about this banquet.
The hovercar quickly arrived at the villa.
Soren had to deal with the banquet, but he also remembered what happened to the new butler this time. He held his tongue for a long time before a muffled voice came from under the gas mask, "Rest well."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao responded with an arched eyebrow.
Only after the hovercar started up again and disappeared under the mountain road did Ya Xiao turn around and go back inside the villa.
The twisted and eerie murals seemed to be welcoming him. The whole villa was gloomy even in broad daylight. Ya Xiao felt double the affection and couldn't help but say to the system: [Fourth Uncle, this place can really make a demon comfortable.]
System: [It's good that you like it.]
Although it didn't know what was so good about this place.
Ya Xiao, who got the approval of Fourth Uncle, expressed great happiness. He returned to the room with light footsteps and took off the coat on his body first.
After sensing the danger, in order to create the persona of an ordinary person, Ya Xiao chose a way that felt the least suspicious to him and smoothly escaped the crisis.
It was only a pity that the newly purchased tuxedo was dirty.
The tail behind Ya Xiao wagged a bit, and then he sat on the carpet and opened the mall in the system panel.
He hadn't gotten hurt at this party. Everything was perfect except for the dirty tuxedo, so naturally, it was now the demon's time to celebrate.
The mall was a module unlocked by the system only after Ya Xiao had grown a tail.
Over the past half month, Ya Xiao had spent a large portion of his time on online shopping apart from thinking about how to blend in as a marshal's butler.
Now, he was planning to buy a tuxedo again.
There was a tuxedo in the mall that wouldn't get dirty and could hide his tail perfectly even if he let it out. Ya Xiao had been eyeing it for a long time.
The only problem was that he didn't have any points. He had bought a bit too many toys in the first half of the month and didn't have many points left.
"Fourth Uncle, I want to enter the virtual space."
At the banquet, Ya Xiao decided to go to the special training. If successful, the points gained can also be used to buy that tuxedo without any problems, two birds with one stone.
Ya Xiao's Fourth Uncle was a motivational system.
As long as you learn skills and knowledge as well as special training in the virtual space, you can get rewards and points.
Of course, the content of the study can be changed. After coming to this world, in order to get close to the villain, Ya Xiao changed the content of the study to the butler skills.
[Okay.]
The system was pleased with the host's enthusiasm for learning, [Host, you have mastered 70% of the Butler Skills module. Do you want to open and experience the Practical Application module?]
Practical application?
Ya Xiao had experienced this module before when he was in the demon world. He nodded and directly said, "Open it."
[Ding, the practice module is being opened-]
[This scene tutor is extracting the data of the marshal from the plot and related materials and integrating the simulated image. After analyzing it, the similarity with the marshal of this world is more than 45%, so please take it seriously.]
[Task Scene: Study, the marshal correcting documents]
[Current Task: Please bring a cup of coffee for the marshal]
As soon as the words fell, Ya Xiao appeared inside the villain's study with a cup of coffee in his hand.
During the skill module, he had already learned the relevant knowledge. This included how to grind coffee beans, brew coffee, what kind of coffee cup to use, how to serve it to his employer in a proper manner, and etc. He had gotten ninety points for each of them.
These scores also represented the virtual tutor's judgment of Ya Xiao's behavioral proficiency, which was very rare.
Now, it was just serving a cup of coffee. Even if the virtual tutor was replaced with the villain's data, it shouldn't be too bad of a problem.
Thinking so, Ya Xiao carried the coffee and took a step with his left foot.
The white virtual figure that was correcting the documents looked up slightly. In the next second, Ya Xiao's ears suddenly heard:
[Ding â Challenge Failed]
Ya Xiao: Wow.
This human is really fun.
