The optical brain buzzed.
The group chat of the border base butlers was being flooded.
Bolton was explaining the current condition of Marshal Wenbor to his butler friends.
[Marshal's arm has been reattached by Marshal Lu. He is no longer in any serious condition.]
Bolton, like his employer, Wenbor, both consider themselves outstanding individuals, elegant and proud, placing great importance on etiquette. However, this time, there was a hint of dissatisfaction:
[Our marshal had his arm cut off and replaced with a mechanical arm because he was worried about violating taboos. This time, Marshal Cheng Di cut off the marshal's mechanical arm just because he had a verbal dispute with our marshal.]
[Every time the mechanical arm is repaired and loaded or unloaded, it puts a burden on the body. Even if our marshal is a powerful taboo, he will feel tired. Marshal Cheng Di has done it this time.]
If the marshal dodged a little slower, it would be more than just the arm that would be injured. Bolton thought of this, and his heart was even less energized.
Yan Chi, the butler of the Fifth Base Marshal, unusually didn't talk back to Bolton and said with the same hatred: [Indeed, Marshal Cheng Di has gone too far this time.]
As both marshals and in a serious meeting, Marshal Cheng Di even directly fought with Marshal Wenbor on the spot. It was really a bit unjustifiable.
Gabe could hardly comment on this matter. Cheng Di's problem was something they all knew. They couldn't use common sense to look at this person. He sighed and sent a long list of things for Bolton to pay attention to the marshal's health.
[Bolton, if your marshal has any problems recently, you can communicate with me. The replacement of the mechanical arm should not be careless.]
Bolton: [Okay.]
Then, after holding back, he couldn't help but criticize Cheng Di once again.
Although Ya Xiao knew early on that Marshal Wenbor would be injured, he didn't know who injured him.
Seeing Bolton's words, he realized that the one who started it all was Marshal Cheng Di of the Second Base.
This marshal seemed to have some kind of mental problem. The number of times he appeared in the plot was not much like Delbo.
Ya Xiao couldn't help but be a little curious.
Cheng Di didn't seem like a marshal who could manage a base, but he could actually sit steadily in the position of the Second Base's marshal, and the officers underneath had no objections?
It was only that it was not easy to say this outright.
He politely tapped the keyboard and asked, [Marshal Cheng Di's condition looks less controllable, is there no treatment?]
Bolton and the others naturally saw the meaning of Ya Xiao's words. They all knew that Ya Xiao had become Marshal Qin's butler only a short while ago and explained.
Yan Chi: [It is said that Marshal Cheng Di has a split personality caused by too much stress on the battlefield. He is treated with medication every day.]
But the effect was not too obvious.
[Gabe: Marshal Cheng Di's master personality is timid but intelligent, very good at improving the combat quality of the officers. The officers of the Second Base all admire him very much.]
[Bolton: Yes, and the secondary personality comes out for a limited time.]
Most of the time, the affairs of the Second Base were handled by the main personality, so even if he was sick, Cheng Di did not affect the daily work of the marshal.
Ya Xiao looked at the messages sent by the three butler friends. After a little thought, he understood why the other party could continue to serve as a marshal even after chopping off Wenbor's arm.
â Cheng Di was still a marshal worthy of the public's respect despite his illness.
In the original plot, Wenbor's chopped-off arm only accounted for one sentence. Even now, it has not caused a great deal of repercussions.
Maybe Cheng Di will face punishment, but not enough to step down as a marshal.
Ya Xiao sent an emoticon of dawning realization.
Messages kept popping up on the screen, and Ya Xiao rightly took a look at them from time to time as if eating his melon.
He saw Bolton on the screen say that Marshal Delbo had actually tried to block Marshal Wista, who was protecting Wenbor, in order to protect Cheng Di.
Ya Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
The two marshals, Delbo and Cheng Di, seemed to have a good relationship.
Now, the villain should know about Sheng Cheng's identification of Delbo.

The original?
The system was a bit puzzled.
Ya Xiao sat on the bed and did not elaborate.
After all, the current situation was already different from the original, and Qin Qi's next actions might have changed as well.
No one could say whether those things in the military academy would still happen.
Ya Xiao sensed Fourth Uncle's bewildered emotions and curved his eyes, "I'm thinking about those things at the military academy."
The system instantly realized: [Does the host want to stop those accidents that happened at the military academy?]
In the original plot, many things happened in the military academy, but the biggest one was the collapse of the building numbered BMN7 in the middle of intensive training and the officers in the building were killed in the accident.
This included Emily.
Ya Xiao didn't deny the system's speculation.
After all, he and Emily were also good friends. It was natural for the demon to not let his friend die unexpectedly. His blue eyes were permeated with pleasure, "Fourth Uncle, guess what the villain will do in the military academy this time."
The original plot advanced from the point of view of the protagonist group. According to the clues that Wei Shi and Qin Chen have found, the collapse of the building was not an accident.
It was all related to a man named Geping in the military academy.
But when the protagonist group followed the clues and investigated deeper, they found out that the person behind Geping seemed to be Qin Qi, the marshal of the Sixth Base.
But before they could find out the truth, Geping passed away unexpectedly.
From beginning to end, it was shrouded in mystery.
The conflict between the main group and Qin Qi also intensified because of this incident.
Ya Xiao didn't know who Geping was. In his memories, the Sixth Base didn't seem to have anyone named Geping following him to the central city.
However, no matter who this Geping was, Ya Xiao was sure that Qin Qi wouldn't have someone destroy the building for no reason.
The villain cared about his subordinates. Whether it was Mist, Soren, or Emily who responded to him with loyalty, they were the villain's right-hand people.
If Qin Qi had to destroy the building for some reason, he would have made sure to transfer Emily out of the building beforehand.
So in this case, Ya Xiao was more inclined to believe that the protagonist group's suspicions were wrong and were maliciously led to suspect the villain.
Hmm, 'that lord' in Sheng Cheng's mouth was quite suspicious.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the building had suddenly developed problems and Qin Qi had to send someone to destroy it, not even in time to evacuate his subordinates. Emily's burial in the rubble was just an accident.
Whichever option it was, it meant that something extraordinary must have happened in the military academy.
And what exactly will be the role of the villain in it this time? It was really intriguing.
"Fourth Uncle, do you think Qin Qi will seek help from Ya Bu?" Ya Xiao said with some anticipation.
There was no doubt that Qin Qi might encounter some trouble in the future or be caught in some bottleneck, otherwise the building wouldn't have collapsed.
With the current slight difference from the original, Ya Xiao was curious about Qin Qi's next actions and choices.
[I don't know.]
The system can't figure out what Qin Qi was thinking even now. Its data was garbled as soon as it analyzed Qin Qi, and what Qin Qi might do in the future was completely unclear.
Ya Xiao was not lost. The unknown was what made the demon look forward to something.
He laid down on the bed and rolled around, his tail resting on his stomach, ready to rest.
Ya Xiao hadn't been to the organization since Sheldor and Qin Qi had started working together, and his routine was gradually returning to normal.
Tomorrow, it was time to head to the military academy.
Maybe he'll meet the main protagonist group. Ya Xiao closed his eyes, inwardly urging himself to make sure to heal the marshal in the morning, in case the villain's TH value was in trouble.
The night was quiet.
Just as he was gradually developing a sense of sleep, he suddenly heard something moving and his eyes opened, his blue eyes filled with clarity.
Demons' hearing was much superior to humans.
Especially at night, even in sleep, a demon's body would instinctively remain alert, allowing them to immediately enter combat.
Ya Xiao sat up and walked lightly to the window. It was a movement coming from the next room. It was so subtle that if it weren't for Ya Xiao's excellent hearing, he wouldn't have noticed the sound at all.
Not long after the sound faded away, Ya Xiao pulled open a gap in the curtains, and the silver moonlight leaked in.
The demon's excellent eyesight allowed him to see that a black figure was bypassing the streetlights and walking to a dead end where the surveillance couldn't shine in.
Only when that black figure completely merged into the night and disappeared did Ya Xiao slowly retract his sight.
The marshal was leaving in the middle of the night again?
He didn't follow him so that he wouldn't be discovered by the villain.
[Fourth Uncle.]
[Host, leave it to me.]
The system had just woken up together with Ya Xiao, so it naturally knew who had just snuck out.
Can we finally know some of the villain's hidden secrets?
Ya Xiao's curiosity was high, especially since the villain was acting so strangely right now. It aroused his interest even more.
The system also jumped a little.
When Fourth Uncle left, Ya Xiao lay back down on the bed, this time with little sleepiness.
What would a villain go and do at night? Looking for a fight?
The more Ya Xiao thought about it, the more excited he became. He opened his eyes to look at the empty ceiling, his mind wandered a little. Since he came to the spring meeting, Qin Qi seems to have not slept well?
The blue system panel suddenly popped up floating in front of his eyes.
â It was a real-time live broadcast initiated by the system.
Ya Xiao was instantly energized.
On the other hand, Qin Qi came alone to the research room in the central city. At that moment, there were five elderly people, three men and two women, sitting inside.
They were wearing white robes, their looks were one more solemn than the other, and their aura was hard to approach.
These were all the members of the Elder Council.
These old people held a lot of unknown information. Although they didn't interfere in politics or the military, they likewise protected the only remaining human beings along with the many marshals.
"Marshal Qin, long time no see."
Kobo leaned on a cane, his hair was gray but still spirited. However, the wrinkles on his face made him look unapproachable.
Kobo was the oldest and most senior of the elders.
While he was speaking, the other four elders did not make a sound. It was obvious that Kobo represented the will of all of them.
Qin Qi sat on the opposite side of the Elder Council, his tone light, "Long time no see, what is it that you are looking for me for?"
Seeing Qin Qi behave like this, Kobo and the four Elder Council members were not surprised as if they had gotten used to the other's demeanor. Kobo leaned on his cane and sat down.
"I heard from Will that you previously performed a craniotomy on your subordinate who tried to assassinate you?"
Will was the marshal of the central city and had an excellent relationship with the Elder Council.
Qin Qi did not deny it.
The faces of the several Elders present were a bit ugly.
"Was it really infiltrated?"
Kobo muttered with a grim expression. He looked at Qin Qi, whose expression remained unchanged, and suddenly said, "Marshal Qin, thank you for your hard work. We will take over the assassin and proceed with the next step of research."
"No need."
Qin Qi raised his eyelids and directly refused, "If you guys called me over just to talk about this matter, I'll leave first."
"What do you mean?"
Lilith, who stood behind Kobo, was a female elder with a fiery personality. She was a hot-tempered person when she was young, and she hasn't gotten any better in her old age, frowning at Qin Qi, "What can your researchers find? Even if they find something, can you guarantee that none of them will leak it out?"
"That person's name is Sheng Cheng, right? Your researchers shouldn't investigate further. Otherwise, it will only cause panic!"
"They won't spread the word."
Qin Qi calmly gazed at these few elders, stating the facts as he got up and slightly sidestepped, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
This was clearly not a discussion, but a notice.
No matter how ugly the expressions of the elders behind him were, Qin Qi had no intention of paying attention.
Kobo clenched his cane and looked towards that departing back, "Why didn't you agree to let us investigate? Could it be that you still don't trust us?"
"Hmm, don't trust."
As soon as those words came out, the short-tempered Lilith couldn't hold her tongue first. She waved away the hands of her companion next to her who was blocking her and said unhappily:
"What qualifications do you have to distrust us? The choice to destroy the Seventh Base in the first place was in your hands, and the decision was made by you from start to finish! It was you who was responsible for everything, now who are you to blame us?!"
"Lilith!"
Kobo's cane hit the ground heavily, his heart growing more and more regretful for bringing Lilith here.
The other three old people were all stopping Lilith from the side, but Lilith didn't think she was at fault.
Qin Qi was heading towards the door.
At those words, his feet lurched and his back stood upright.
"I'm not complaining about you."
"There's no need."
Lilith's face changed when she heard this. Just as she wanted to continue saying something, the two old fellows beside her covered her mouth and said with a headache, "Alright, just say less!"
Meanwhile, Ya Xiao, who was watching the real-time broadcast, had a surprised expression of having eaten a big melon.
He carefully weighed the words of these Elder Council members.
These Elder Council members should all know a bit of inside information about Qin Qi's destruction of the Seventh Base at that time.
It was different from what Ya Xiao knew.
In the original plot, these few old people, when faced with the questions of the protagonist group, Wei Shi and Qin Chen, could all display an attitude of not knowing, not clear, none of my business.
Ya Xiao raised his hand and touched his ear bone clip. In an afterthought, he thought of something and spoke out, "Fourth Uncle, quickly help me see what the villain's TH value is."
[Okay, host.]
The system was following Qin Qi around eating this amazing melon. Hearing this, it hurriedly responded and invaded the inside of Qin Qi's wristwatch to check the data. In the next second, it gulped.
Ya Xiao detected a hint of an unusual thing from such quietness, and his tail behind him stiffened up. Thinking of something, his voice slightly trembled as he said, "It can't be?"
The system's voice was heavy: [Host, make preparations as soon as possible. It's best to come over immediately.]
Um, according to the magnitude of this TH value spike, about the time the villain comes back to the room, the whole building will be gone.
Ya Xiao: ......
Go out now? How do I get out? Become Ya Bu?
