It was the first time for Ya Xiao to see such an evil and powerful existence in this world. For a moment, his soul trembled, not in fear, but a heartfelt excitement.
Was the villain actually this powerful?!
Demons were strong by nature.
Ya Xiao's heart and soul wanted to grow bat wings just to make himself stronger.
After coming to this world, Ya Xiao, who had grown his tail, had never encountered a human who was stronger than himself.
Except for the villain in front of him.
Oooh, would love to fight him.
Ya Xiao looked at the villain who had his back to them. His fingers were foolishly moving, and he wondered if the villain was more powerful or himself.
Unfortunately, there was no way to verify that at the moment.
He didn't have much magic right now, so even if he wanted to verify it, he'd have to wait until he replenished his own magic.
"Back off!"
Soren wasn't sure what the new butler was thinking. Almost as soon as he confirmed the marshal's appearance with alienated traits, he immediately drew a silver gun from the waist of the nearby Wei Cheng and shot it toward a button not far inside the wall.
The blown-out button crackled with electrical sparks as if signaling the activation of an alarm. In the next second, a brand new explosion-proof partition wall suddenly rose up around the floor. The cold reinforced galvanized steel plates slowly rose and were about to completely encompass the entire isolation room.
The black-haired man who caused this chaos, however, seemed to have never discovered all this. From beginning to end, he stood quietly, and the atmosphere around him was eerily silent.
Just before the brand new explosion-proof partition was about to completely isolate him within the room, the man's hand around the youth's neck suddenly flung outward, directly throwing the blood-soaked young man out.
At the same time Soren caught the severely injured young man, a raspy voice came from inside the isolation room.
"Use ZYZ5 spray."
ZYZ5, also known as the strong inhibitor spray, was the most potent of the many out-of-control inhibitors with the most side effects.
Ya Xiao noticed that after the villain said the name of the potion, Soren and Wei Cheng physically stiffened.
They did not support the marshal's use of ZYZ5.
However, without waiting for the two to raise their voices to stop them, the rotating vents had already risen within the four corners of the isolation room.
Thick white gas mixed into the air, gradually obscuring the black-haired man standing amidst the broken walls.
The isolation room was completely closed off by blast panels.
The corridor was extraordinarily quiet. Only the weak and agonizing breathing of the severely injured young man could be heard.

What the hell did this idiot Qin Chen say to the marshal?
As he carried the severely injured Qin Chen on his back, he saw from the corner of his eye that the new butler at the side had his head lowered. He didn't know what he was thinking, and the footsteps that he was about to raise froze.
At that time, the situation was too urgent. Wei Cheng called the new butler over. No one could have imagined that the marshal had actually developed alienated characteristics. The only thing that was fortunate was that the marshal had not completely lost his sanity.
However, even if sanity remained, after the appearance of alienated traits, the butler's healing would be unable to return the taboo man on the verge of losing control to normal.
"Ya Xiao."
Wei Cheng called out to him with a simple smile. His heart sank a little heavier when he saw the other man look up sluggishly in response, his eyes showing a bit of blankness.
Was he really scared?
It was normal. Most of the butlers served the taboo people, but there were very few butlers who had actually faced alienation head-on, not to mention that Ya Xiao had also happened to bump into the marshal who appeared to have alienated features attacking Qin Chen.
"Why don't you follow Soren back next door first? The marshal's side should take a while."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao, who was immersed in the villain's powerful strength and unable to pull himself out of it, was still a bit lost in thought. When he heard Wei Cheng's words, he reacted half a beat slower and nodded before turning around to follow Soren's side.
Seeing this reaction from Ya Xiao, Wei Cheng was a few points more certain of his suspicions.
After that, he would have to discuss it with Mist.
Wei Cheng looked at Ya Xiao's back and temporarily suppressed the worry that rose within him.
Of course, he did not know that the fragile butler who had been psychologically frightened by the scene just now in his eyes had long since become the marshal's little fan.
Since seeing the scene just now, Ya Xiao's excitement was slow to dissipate. He couldn't wait to meet and chat with the villain.
Before, it was for the wings, but now, it was the demon's worship of the strong. His tail hidden in his pants wagged slightly, and his heart was stirred for a while. Only after returning to his senses did he enter the next door after Soren with light steps under the instruction of Wei Cheng.
"What is the dose of ZYZ5?"
As soon as he entered, Soren's voice came out from within the gas mask.
It was addressed to Mist and Emily in the control room. The two of them had just carried out the order for the villain's spray.
"360 ml is required as it stands, and the duration of inhalation is controlled to three hours."
Mist replied calmly, his face pale and his gaze somewhat dark under his glasses.
With just one sentence, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Ya Xiao watched the scene thoughtfully, this dose of ZYZ5 should be pretty bad for the marshal?
Emily, who hadn't said much from the beginning to the end, was even more agitated as she kicked down a chair on the side and cursed a few profanities before turning her head to look at Soren: "Where is Qin Chen? I'm going to slaughter him."
"Seriously injured, healing."
Soren's explanation was only these words.
At his words, Emily immediately rushed out.
After a short silence, Soren asked again, "What about the recorder over there?"
"There's no way to backtrack."
Mist couldn't even pull a false smile out of his face anymore. This was actually a dereliction of duty on the part of them, the adjutants, "That guy Qin Chen shouldn't have wanted us to hear it and purposely carried a jamming device."
When Qin Chen and the marshal were chatting, they, the adjutants, would deliberately turn off the surveillance screen to give the marshal privacy and only use the recorder to keep a record, but that guy Qin Chen was prepared.
Currently, apart from Qin Chen and the marshal himself, no one knew what they had said in the isolation room.
Ya Xiao looked at the two men's grave expressions, his fingers picking at his face. The mention of Qin Chen had reminded him of the plot he had faced not long ago.
If nothing else, this point should be that the members of the protagonist group, after searching, found that the villain had something to do with the destruction of the Seventh Base back then.
The villain, as an iron-blooded marshal, was usually a bright and upright figure with a strict rule of law, and no one would have connected him to the destruction of that base.
Qin Chen, one of the main protagonist group, i.e. the villain's younger brother, simply couldn't believe it when he found out about it and directly ran to question him, triggering the tragedy.
Of course, since the first protagonist in the plot was Qin Chen's friend, Wei Shi, the book simply mentioned that 'Qin Chen was seriously injured when he returned to the base, and no matter how much Wei Shi's people asked him, he avoided talking about it. In the end, Wei Shi only knew that it was the marshal who had injured him.'
Because it was so subtle, Ya Xiao didn't think it had reached this plot point earlier.
After all, it was the villain.
It was normal to be caught doing something bad.
The thoughts within Ya Xiao's brain were mixed and finally landed on the fact that he really deserved to be a villain!
After doing something bad and being found out, he can still beat up the protagonist group. Too much of a big demon's demeanor! He likes it!
System: ......
It didn't seem wrong, but something was weird somewhere.
Ya Xiao didn't know what the system was thinking. He was thinking to himself while his tail hidden in his pants wagged left and right. He was happily waiting for the marshal to finish and come out to meet with him after three hours.
Huh, would the villain wake up after the mist clears?
Ya Xiao paused for a moment, searching out the relevant information from his brain. It seemed that the out-of-control people will all lose consciousness for a long time after inhaling the inhibitor spray, and it will vary with the side effects of the drug.
The greater the side effects, the longer the slumber.
The villain won't have to sleep for a long time, will he? Thinking so, Ya Xiao politely opened his mouth and asked, "According to the dosage of ZYZ5 just now, the marshal should have a lot of side effects. Do I need to prepare something before the marshal wakes up?"
The side effects of the inhibitor varied from person to person. The documents Ya Xiao had gotten from Mist didn't have anything related to that.
Although Soren and Mist had been exchanging words, they were also observing the quiet Ya Xiao next to them without any trace, trying to probe the other party's current thoughts.
Unfortunately, the new butler's expression management had been doing well. Even Mist was unable to tell from that delicate white face if the other party had any intention of leaving.
But by the time they heard the question, both Mist and Soren immediately realized that the other party had no thoughts of resigning for the time being, which was good news.
Ya Xiao really had a lot of guts. Mist's tensed emotions loosened a bit as he lifted his glasses and informed in a slow tone of voice:
"All of the inhibitors currently on the market have significant side effects. As they are used more frequently, the potency diminishes while the side effects deepen."
Ya Xiao nodded, he had learned all of this when he was learning about being a butler.
"The marshal's current physical condition does not allow him to continue using ZYZ5. After the misting, the marshal will be in a life-threatening situation for some time, and the doctors at the fortress...."
Saying this, Mist realized that his words were a bit too much. He paused for a moment, omitting the above, and concisely said:
"You don't need to prepare anything in particular. The side effects of ZYZ5 that are currently showing up in the marshal are photophobia and gluttony."
"It usually lasts a week, though it may grow this time due to the frequency of inhibitor use."
Photophobia and gluttony?
Ya Xiao nodded in apparent understanding.
In short, it just got a little more troublesome?
But it didn't seem that bad?
After all, the villain was so powerful that a little trouble was acceptable, Ya Xiao thought as he walked away.
Mist glanced at the gentle curve on the instrument. He pursed his lips and turned, "The marshal should wake up tomorrow. It's getting late, so let's stay at the fortress tonight."
"Okay, oh."
When Ya Xiao heard this, his eyebrows arched and he nodded his head obediently.
So, he can meet up with the villain tomorrow?
That would make the demon very happy.
