The bullet penetrated Wei Duo's chest.
The blood-stained metal casing embedded itself firmly in the floor.
The aged lieutenant general collapsed at his birthday banquet, his eyes wide open, not knowing what had happened until he died.
Sheng Cheng, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at the dead Wei Duo and suppressed his inner excitement. It's almost done...
The blood from the old man's chest flowed down the floor, and his lifeless eyes could no longer reflect the figure of that black-clad officer.
The man gazed at the dead old man in silence. A tail covered in silver scales abruptly appeared, and a horrifying pressure shook the space. The meeting hall suddenly sank, and endless fear haunted every human who saw this scene.
"The marshal has alienated!"
"Prepare the ZYZ5 spray urgently!"
The guards tried to prevent the worst from happening.
The screams of panic and fear brought the man in the middle of losing control back to his senses for a moment.
However, the trend of alienation was unstoppable!
In the next second, the sharp tail slewed through his abdomen. The man was embedded firmly within the wall, dark red blood dripping down his scales and onto the ground.
The tail with metallic luster slowly wandered, and the sharp scales like blades continuously scraped and tore at the man's abdomen. His internal organs were disassembled and reorganized, but it was as if he didn't know the pain. He lowered his eyelashes, looked at the panicked crowd, and hoarsely commanded, "Stop me."
The clear eyes were gradually covered by darkness and blood.
He turned into an out-of-control monster but was unable to move because of his tail.
Sure enough, he had guessed correctly!
Qin Qi would really lose control because of Wei Duo's death!
Sheng Cheng cowered in the corner, his mouth grinning a triumphant smile as he looked at Qin Qi, who was nailed to the wall. The feeling of having his revenge taken was born in his heart.
He had finally succeeded!!!
The excitement made Sheng Cheng's entire body boil with blood. Suddenly, there was a dizziness in front of his eyes. The scene changed, and he sat up straight and looked around him in a bit of a trance.
The room was pitch black, and the light on the optical screen was blinding. The screen was densely packed with stupid and overwhelming information, which was half of the tasks that he had organized.
Sheng Cheng gradually slowed down, was he just dreaming?
No, Sheng Cheng with wild-eyes denied himself. Impossible, just now, that feeling was real as if it had happened, how could it be his imagination?
"Zhang Ping had successfully killed Wei Duo."
"Qin Qi fell into a state of alienation and was about to lose control."
"In order to protect his soldiers, the great marshal nailed himself to the wall with his tail while his sanity was still intact and was seriously injured."
How selfless.
How decisive.
This was the right outcome. Why? Sheng Cheng looked at the unfinished work on the screen and slammed things around him like crazy, unable to vent his anger and resentment filling every part of his body.
"Why did it fail? What exactly is the step that went wrong?!"
"What exactly happened on Zhang Ping's side?!"
The dark and empty room was silent.

The villa of the villain was so beautiful, but unfortunately, there were no flowers decorated. Ya Xiao had easily obtained the right to decorate the villa of the villain. Of course, he would take it seriously.
It was now four in the morning.
Demons were very energetic. Even if they don't sleep for a day, they can still be active, which was one of the reasons why Ya Xiao was idle and was planting flowers.
He was light on his feet, holding the flower seeds he had picked from the mall.
[Host, the villain is going to meet Wei Duo later.]
The system politely prompted, hoping to make the host change his plans.
[I know.] Ya Xiao took a small shovel and happily planted the flower seeds he bought from the mall, [Don't worry, the villain hasn't woken up yet. I'll plant these flower seeds at the right time!]
After the banquet, there was no need to worry about the villain getting hurt.
Ya Xiao returned to the normal state of idleness and was particularly happy squatting on the ground digging holes and planting flowers, with his mouth humming the weird nursery rhymes unique to the demon world.
Of course, taking into account the villain sleeping on the second floor, Ya Xiao's movements are particularly light, guaranteed not to disturb Qin Qi's sleep.
However, what he didn't know was that even if the sound was louder, it wouldn't disturb Qin Qi, because Qin Qi didn't sleep the whole night.
Thick curtains covered the light outside the window. The man's back was against the cushion, and his deep pupils carried a darkness that people couldn't understand. A night without sleep seemed to be very common for him.
Qin Qi maintained this action for a long time.
He got up after a while, threw the red-blooded eyeball that he had been clutching in his hand onto the bed, and pulled open a corner of the curtains.
A young man in black and white overalls squatted in the courtyard. His slender waist was slightly arched, his lines were smooth, and his skin was dazzlingly white. He seemed to be happy at all times. Even when he was working, it was as if he was engaged in some kind of a game. From his back, he was permeated with a sense of joy.
Through a layer of glass, Qin Qi watched him for a long time. It wasn't until the young man put the small shovel into the bucket of water and until he got up and left that Qin Qi lowered the curtains.
Qin Qi didn't know why he watched the other man work, and why he didn't want to be noticed.
It was like an interlude that he wouldn't take to heart.
On the other hand, Ya Xiao was carrying a bucket of water and celebrated to the system, [Luckily, I was resourceful and didn't turn my head to greet the villain, or else he would have come downstairs to snatch the job from me.]
Ya Xiao felt that the villain stood in front of the window staring at him because he thought it was fun to plant flowers and wanted to plant flowers but was just too embarrassed to ask.
Of course, it was fun to plant flowers.
Ya Xiao wouldn't let it go to the villain.
System: ......
The villain should not have this hobby.
Ya Xiao's decided matters would never change. Even if the system explained it, he would still insist on his own opinion.
He waved his tail and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast for himself and the villain, leaving the villa once the two had finished their meal.
The appointed time was nine in the morning.
Ya Xiao followed Qin Qi to Wei Duo's residence.
Lieutenant General Wei Duo had already reached the age of having great-grandchildren, but he had never married so far. He had been living alone in the somewhat remotely located military headquarters dormitory. Only later, when he got older, did the military resettle him in a villa near the headquarters building.
At this moment, Wei Duo's butler Colund had been standing guard outside the villa.
After Ya Xiao and Colund smiled at each other, they followed behind Qin Qi and entered the villa.
Qin Qi appeared to be very familiar with this place. He didn't even need Colund to guide him and directly entered the study.
When he entered, Wei Duo was sitting on the sofa, his gaze sweeping over Qin Qi and the others, his expression still serious, "You're here."
Qin Qi hmmed and took a seat on the opposite side.
The two of them were going to talk about things.
Ya Xiao and Colund wouldn't come along and thoughtfully left the room.
"The old man should have a lot to talk about with the marshal." Colund guarded the doorway and spoke to Ya Xiao.
Wei Duo had woken up early this morning with two boxes in his hands and a stony expression. This matter could be very important to both Wei Duo and the marshal.
It would not be possible to talk about it for a short while.
Ya Xiao did not care at all on the surface, showing a smile, "Well, then we can have a long time to talk."
Privately, he was cueing the system in his mind, [Fourth Uncle, how is it going on your side?]
[Neither of them are talking.]
[Good, hard work Fourth Uncle!]
Ya Xiao cut off the contact and wagged the tip of his tail twice in a small way to cheer up Fourth Uncle.
According to Zhang Ping, perhaps Wei Duo's death would directly or indirectly cause the villain to be injured.
Ya Xiao wasn't sure of the truth of the matter but did make some guesses. He felt that Wei Duo's death might have violated the villain's taboo. An out-of-control villain would always put a burden on his body whether he was using an inhibitor or encountering something else, and it might even be life-threatening.
And that was exactly what Sheng Cheng wanted to see happen.
In any case, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to understand the villain's taboo. Ya Xiao planned to observe Qin Qi and Wei Duo's time together and ponder over the villain's taboo.
After all, the effect of ZYZ5 will be over today, and the villain's taboo may be triggered at any time. If he was not careful, he would be injured, causing his demon value absorption speed to slow down.
At the thought of demon value absorption slowing down, Ya Xiao's tail twitched.
The system also knew the importance of this matter. For the host's great cause of absorbing demon value, it deliberately put on the long treasured glasses, shrunk in the corner, and stared at the two humans in front of it, fearing that it would miss out on any information.
But in fact, the conversation between the two was pitifully small.
"Where's the stuff?"
Wei Duo didn't answer. He had a lot of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were still as sharp as knives, "Qin Qi, answer me first. What secrets have you been hiding for so many years?"
"Yesterday's report on Clay and Zhang Ping's corpses, you definitely know something."
Wei Duo didn't know what exactly Qin Qi was hiding, but he knew that the boy must want to solve everything alone. His voice was dry:
"Have you forgotten your grandfather's teachings?"
"One person's strength is ultimately limited."
Qin Qi's back was straight and silent as if he had expected these words from Wei Duo.
Wei Duo's head hurt from the anger. He brought up the two boxes at his feet and placed them on the table.
This was his last resort. If Qin Qi saw these and still wasn't willing to spit out the truth, then there really wasn't anything Wei Duo could do.
"All that your grandfather gave me is here."
They were opened and inside were two sharp swords and a worn black military uniform. The sense of age came to the surface.
"Your grandfather has loved you since you were little...," Wei Duo rambled, trying to rely on past memories to awaken the softness Qin Qi had hidden in his heart.
However, Qin Qi did not take a close look at these few things. After Wei Duo took out the boxes, Qin Qi directly lifted them, "It will be hard work for yesterday's banquet. Have a good rest, I won't disturb you now."
With that, he lifted his long legs and left the study.
Wei Duo: ......
System: ......
Seeing Qin Qi who came out from inside, Ya Xiao was a little surprised at how quickly the other party moved. It hadn't even been five minutes in total, had it? Talking about it so quickly?
"Let's go."
Qin Qi's tone was short, his steps not stopping.
Inside the door, Wei Duo was furious. He leaned on his cane and was about to rush out. Ya Xiao seemed to realize something, his eyes curved, "Okay."
He turned slightly sideways and bowed slightly to Wei Duo, "Lieutenant General Wei Duo, the marshal and I will leave for now. I hope you have a good day."
Concerned about his image in the youth's mind, Wei Duo reluctantly withdrew the curse that had fallen to his lips and stiffly pulled on a smile, "You guys take care of yourselves on the road."
After sitting on the hovercar, Ya Xiao realized what had happened under the system's explanation.
He pondered for a moment, so Qin Qi had gotten his hands on the two boxes and ran straight out? No wonder Wei Duo was so angry.
[Qin Qi and Wei Duo have a deep bond.]
Ya Xiao said to the system. Otherwise, according to the villain's character, there was no way he would have done this.
The system agreed.
As for the things in the boxes that were said to be Qin Qi's grandfather's, Ya Xiao remembered that Qin Qi's grandfather didn't appear many times in the plot.
Qin Qi's parents died when he was young, and his younger brother disappeared, so it was always his grandfather who took care of him as he grew up. Then, when his grandfather died in battle on the front line, Qin Qi went to the battlefield on his own.
Qin Qi should have cherished his grandfather's belongings.
Things were just as Ya Xiao thought, Qin Qi really cherished his grandfather's few things.
When he returned to the villa, he carried the boxes and went into his room silently.
It seemed that the villain wasn't going to go to the headquarters today.
Ya Xiao pondered for a second and picked up his small shovel again. The marshal went back to his room so it wasn't convenient for him to collect the demon value. For now, he could only continue to plant flowers and dress up the beautiful villa.
However, just a few steps out of the courtyard, the alarm in the villa suddenly sounded.
Ya Xiao froze before quickly throwing down the small shovel and rushing to Qin Qi's room on the second floor.
The eerie room was a bit messy. Two open boxes were placed on the floor, and the owner of the room was dragging a silver tail behind him. He stood in the center of the room, staring up at the ceiling without doing anything, his body was silent but permeated with inexplicable pressure.
Sensing the movement of the room's door opening, the man's lips opened and closed, seemingly saying something. In the next second, his figure quickly appeared in front of Ya Xiao.
The sound of breaking air rang out.
The silver-colored tail was about to swing over in an instant.
[Host, run!]
The system screamed at the top of its voice.
Ya Xiao sobbed in grief: [Fourth Uncle, why is he out of control? Does he have to use the inhibitor again? The demon value absorption is going to slow down again.]
System: ......
Now is not the time to talk about this at all ah ah ahhh!!!!!
