In fact, the current situation was far more critical than what the system described.
The dark forest blended into the night color. The light faintly penetrated through the dense branches and leaves, and the black military shoes stepped on the withered leaves and made a creaking sound.
Qin Qi's expression was no different from the past, but his feet moved rapidly toward the distance, and his figure gradually blurred in the darkness. The system followed the other party with fear and trepidation, nervously observing his situation, and at the same time, connecting with Ya Xiao for a real-time report.
Suddenly, its old eyes blurred, and a silver-white shadow swiftly flashed from the eyes, cutting through the darkness and raising a harsh sound of breaking air. The system instantly had a jolt.
[Ah ah ah, hurry up, host! The villain is now in an alienated state.]
Ya Xiao: !!
That fast?
Ya Xiao couldn't think too much and used the Great Demon Experience Voucher without hesitation. He immediately pushed open the window and jumped out.
"Fourth Uncle, send me the location."
[Okay, host!]
The system hurriedly sent out its location and floated behind Qin Qi without stopping, so as not to lose him.
Ya Xiao stepped on a tree. His feet kicked, the leaves on the thick branches rustled slightly, and his whole body flew in mid-air and landed on another big tree in the distance.
The green dot on the system screen kept moving, moving farther and farther away from the residential area.
Obviously, Qin Qi was consciously leaving the populated area. He should know his current situation, that's why he kept moving toward the remote area.
[Could it be that the group of elders stimulated Qin Qi, so he lost control?]
The system's skeptical voice rang in his ears.
"One can only say that there is this possibility."
Ya Xiao couldn't be sure.
The villain's taboo was unknown.
Ya Xiao didn't know the reason why the villain's TH value spiked this time, but it should have nothing to do with those hidden secrets of the Seventh Base.
However, none of this mattered at the moment. The most important thing now was to stop the villain from going out of control.
If it wasn't controlled in time, the rate of demon value absorption would be reduced for another period of time, which would be too bad for the demon!
Ya Xiao's eyes followed the direction of the green dot's continuous traveling and finally landed on an inconspicuous place, the remote station. No matter what kind of noise was made, almost no one would notice it. If he was lucky, the spray inhibitor should still be kept inside.
This should be the villain's destination, but the distance was too far, and according to the villain's current condition he might not be able to reach it.
He had to heal Qin Qi as soon as possible.
Ya Xiao looked up at the full moon in the air, the silver-white moonlight flowed in the air, and the blue eyes seemed to flash a hint of darkness. In the next second, the slender figure disappeared into thin air.
The blurred image gradually became clearer.
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.
The drizzle dampened the broken limbs and arms on the battlefield. The smell of damp earth covered the fishy and salty blood, and the rustling sound of the wings of the demonic insects vaguely rang in his ears as swarms of demonic insects gnawed on the white bones.

The black military boots were dyed a dark red by the blood.
Qin Qi knew that he would definitely go to hell.
The illusion of the past gradually dissipated.
The wristwatch that lit up at his wrist beeped a warning tone.
Qin Qi's movements slowed down, step after step, the silver tail dragging behind him slashed across the ground. Moonlight spilled through the branches, and the sharp scales were vaguely powerful and ominous.
The signs of alienation had appeared.
His temples thumped, and the murderous intent piling up in his chest urged him to destroy everything around him.
He wanted to lock himself inside the rescue station before he completely lost control.
Qin Qi's eyes deepened slightly. The rescue station away from the people was not close to here. Even if he was fast, it was hard to guarantee that he could keep his sanity when he reached the rescue station.
The best thing to do at the moment was to immobilize himself before he lost control. Qin Qi stopped in his tracks.
The silver tail lifted up and stalled in mid-air, the moonlight transmitting a cold light of sharp metal, the chill seeping through.
As long as he pierced through his legs, he would be able to temporarily lose his ability to move, without making himself unable to participate in the next military academy intensive training. Qin Qi's reasoning which was gradually eroded by the killing intent quickly made a good decision.
However, without waiting to make a move, the leaves of the trees were vaguely brought up by the wind, emitting a tiny rustling sound. As if Qin Qi sensed something, he raised his head and looked to the side branches.
The young man wearing a clown mask stood on it at some point.
Under the moonlight, the exaggeratedly grinning clown inexplicably penetrated a holy mystery and weirdness.
"Does the marshal need help?"
It was Ya Bu again.
This mysterious youth harbored many secrets like he knew everything and such an existence was undoubtedly the most terrifying.
Qin Qi gazed at the dangerous young man in front of him.
His blood surged within him, voraciously consuming his sanity, urging Qin Qi relentlessly to destroy everything around him. Such emotions were enough to dismantle a human's thoughts. From leaving the Elder Council until now, Qin Qi had suppressed for too long.
Behind him, the dangerous silver-bladed tail hung down, moving slowly along the ground, leaving behind a long dip that faintly revealed the heavy and suppressed emotions of its owner.
"How can you help?"
Qin Qi calmly said, suppressing the tyranny within him and using what was left of his sanity to be wary of Ya Bu.
But at the same time, Qin Qi knew that the other party had more tricks up his sleeve than he thought.
Ya Xiao jumped down from the tree, his scorpion braid arcing through the air.
"It's simple."
Perhaps because he knew that time was running out, Ya Bu didn't show off as he walked to Qin Qi with easy steps.
As if he didn't notice Qin Qi's vigilance, the young man's white fingers gently tapped on Qin Qi's forehead with smooth movements.
The cool touch was fleeting, and Qin Qi's body tensed up. His dark eyes stared intently at the figure in front of him.
The masked youth withdrew his hand, speaking naturally, "Alright, it's over."
Doubt flashed faintly in Qin Qi's eyes.
It's over?
What had this young man in front of him done?
Just as the idea was forming, a piercing pain surged from his heart the next moment, instantly engulfing his entire body. Qin Qi's consciousness became chaotic in an instant.
His massive tail thrashed wildly, causing trees around to crack and send up clouds of dust.
Qin Qi took slow steps backward and leaned against a giant tree, veins bulging on his forehead as his consciousness gradually returned.
It was as if there were cold poisonous snakes coiled within his blood. Every part of his body looked like it had been forcibly disassembled and reorganized, and the intense pain gnawed at his sanity. The healing was only momentary, but the pain in his body was continuous.
Qin Qi had endured countless injuries on the battlefield and had experienced various side effects from suppressants before, but the feeling he had now as if he wanted to cut open his skin with a blade and roast it over a fire, was something entirely new.
His muscles tensed up, and waves of cold sweat broke out on his body. His brows furrowed tightly, feeling as if needles were piercing his brain, wishing he could bash his head against a tree to reveal his cowardly state.
However, contrary to the intense pain, Qin Qi's brain gradually became clearer. He loosened and clenched his fists repeatedly.
As long as he regained his sanity, it meant that he wouldn't lose control again, and the pain coursing through his body actually made Qin Qi feel like he could endure it.
The sweat continued to drip from Qin Qi's face, mixing with the mud on the ground.
Seeing Qin Qi's reaction, Ya Xiao belatedly realized that the rapid circulation of magic would cause great pain to the villain.
Just now, Ya Xiao deliberately circulated magic in Qin Qi's body twice. This time, he didn't restrain his speed as he had done before.
Time was short and the task was heavy. Helping the villain to overcome his state of losing control was the most important thing. Being careful in healing, as before, would only delay the treatment.
What's more, this healing was done by 'Ya Bu'. Ya Xiao had no qualms about healing, and he didn't expect it to actually make the marshal react so much.
"Just bear with it, it shouldn't be long."
Ya Xiao was slightly heartbroken.
To be able to make such a tough villain hurt like this, it was enough to imagine how painful this healing speed would be.
Ya Xiao waited for a while but didn't hear Qin Qi make a sound. Only when he raised his eyes did he realize that he seemed to have fainted from the pain.
This was a good thing.
Originally, Qin Qi couldn't sleep if it was past eleven, so being able to enter a state of rest now was not bad at all. Ya Xiao didn't wake him up. Instead, he walked over to Qin Qi and directly hoisted him up.
The system, observing the host in his youthful form carrying the villain on his shoulders, fell silent for a moment, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
However, when the host carried Qin Qi before, Qin Qi's feet were still dragging on the ground, so now it wasn't as awkward as before.
Ya Xiao wasn't sure what Fourth Uncle was thinking.
After he sent Qin Qi back, he went straight back to his room to sleep.
When the next day came, Ya Xiao came to Qin Qi's room early to check on his condition.
At this time, Qin Qi hadn't woken up yet.
Ya Xiao looked at the villain who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and became even more guilty.
Normally, at this time, the villain should have already woken up. When he lost control then, Qin Qi never woke up late. So, this time, it was really caused by his own magic power wandering too fast, wasn't it?
He just wanted to quickly resolve the villain's loss of control issue to prevent the situation from escalating further.
Who would have thought that his fast-running magic would cause the powerful villain to lie in bed like he was sick?
The villain's body wouldn't experience side effects, right?
Ya Xiao couldn't help but be a little worried.
The man lying on the bed seemed to sense the mood of the butler beside the bed. His eyelashes fluttered, and after a few moments, he slowly opened his eyes and met the young man's blue eyes that were permeated with genuine concern.
"When did you come in?"
Qin Qi pressed his head and sat up, rubbing his temples with his palms. His eyes had a few moments of fatigue, which was not only brought on by last night's near loss of control.
He hadn't had much of a good night's sleep once since arriving in the central city, and last night's loss of control was just a trigger.
He had made up for it by passing out from the pain, but he still hadn't been able to let his body rest completely.
The young butler standing beside the bed truthfully said, "Came over at seven o'clock, and it's now eight o'clock."
"Hm."
Qin Qi put down his hand and stood up, his arm reaching out to a corner beside the bed, that was where Ya Xiao helped him to bring a pile of new clothes. Last night's old clothes were placed on the chair.
Ya Xiao took the initiative to walk up and take it, helping him to drape and tie the buttons.
Qin Qi did not refuse, his black eyes slightly drooped looking at Ya Xiao's hair slightly curled top of the head.
Time returned to calm. Until this moment, last night's events have crossed his mind, the Elder Council, the Seventh Base, out of control, and that masked youth Ya Bu....
Qin Qi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with calmness as he rationally analyzed everything that happened last night.
Qin Qi was more inclined to the idea that the mysterious young man had been fully aware of everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that he would choose to head to the Elder Council then.
When he recalled that Ya Bu had invited him to work together a few days ago, Qin Qi's eyes deepened slightly.
He wouldn't trust the other party.
However, if he could really utilize Ya Bu to solve those things, Qin Qi wouldn't refuse, especially after seeing Ya Bu's inexplicable means last night.
No one could ever pull a taboo person back from the brink of losing control that simply, albeit at the cost of giving the taboo person pain that went deep into their soul.
