"Who are you?!"
Holding the pocket watch tightly in his hand, Eld took a step back and quickly pulled out a white gun, pointing it at the young man with a hoarse voice: "Where's Ridika and Goli, the ones guarding the door outside? How the hell did you get in here?!"
The basement of the bar itself was relatively hidden, not to mention the fact that it required a specific person's fingerprints to unlock the door, so it was impossible for an ordinary person to break in there.
Could it be that Ridika and the others had gone rogue?
No, this couldn't be possible. Ridika and Goli's children were also killed by the demonic insects because the Seventh Base was breached. Their enemy was all Qin Qi. It was impossible for them to have gone rogue.
Eld watched the black-haired youth in front of him warily, loading his gun while aiming it at Ya Xiao. "Answer my question," he demanded.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Can I trouble you to answer my question first?"
The black-haired young man negotiated kindly. He slightly tilted his head sideways, his scorpion braid slightly moving with the movement. Those blue eyes with a smile surged with fine points of light as if some kind of mysterious magic power was brewing in the darkness.
At the same time when he met those eyes, the white gun in Eld's hand slipped loose and fell to the ground with a click. His eyes suddenly drifted for a moment, and then he opened and closed his lips uncontrollably:
"We have implanted a chip under the skin of our companions. Through the central communicator, we can contact them directly without the use of an optical brain. The implanted companions will act according to the orders of the central communicator."
Contacting the members of the organization?
Ya Xiao was a bit surprised, this thing was simply too convenient. With the communicator, he and his Fourth Uncle would no longer need to search for assassins. They could directly use the central communicator to call all the people in the organization over, and then they would be able to kill them all at once.
"Is everyone in your organization implanted with chips?" Ya Xiao asked curiously as he crouched down in front of the man who was half-kneeling on the ground.
The muscles in Eld's face tugged uncontrollably. He desperately choked himself in an attempt to stop himself from spitting out more information, but in the next second, he still heard his voice:
"No, the members who are currently engaged in the butler profession do not have chips implanted. They have to undergo physical testing to enter and exit the military headquarters building, and they can easily be detected."
Why was his body out of control on its own?
Eld's eyes were desperate as his mouth spat out the truth. Tears could not be suppressed as they overflowed from his eyes, gradually blurring his vision.
Eld wasn't stupid. Since this monster was forcing himself to say these things, he was definitely in league with Qin Qi.
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.
Unable to speak, Eld tensed his muscles. If he revealed these things, they wouldn't be able to avenge his family. He wanted to bite his tongue off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't proceed to the next step.

Ya Xiao didn't forget that Eld was still talking to someone just now, intending to die with Qin Qi with a bomb.
In the plot, the villain's assassination wasn't met with a bomb incident, which meant that Eld, who had fallen into madness, hadn't really carried out the plan. The only possibility was that he had been stopped by someone.
Ya Xiao wanted to get everything out of the way before the other guy's companions arrived. After all, if a lot of humans came here, Ya Xiao would be a little hurt.
Unable to control his body, he took the tissues, the protruding veins and tense body indicating his futile resistance. Eld's eyes carried hatred, but he could only let his hand wipe away the tears.
Ya Xiao watched Eld dry his tears and did not cry again. He nodded his head in relief, thoughtfully recalling Eld's answer just now.
That meant that except for a few butlers, all the members of the organization should have been implanted with chips. In that case, why not use the central communicator to settle them all today?
"How many people are involved in carrying out this assassination plan?"
"Twenty."
"And excluding the butlers?"
"Seventeen."
Eld held the word from his throat.
Not a large number.
As Ya Xiao thought, he felt more and more that it would be a good idea to tackle the organization now. His blue eyes looked sincerely at Eld, politely requesting, "Now, would you mind getting those companions of yours over here for me?"
Ya Xiao suddenly paused as he spoke. The basement was above the bar and was very crowded. He couldn't afford to scare the timid humans. Ya Xiao said instead, "Don't ask them to come to the bar."
He remembered that there was a large abandoned factory near his temporary residence. Then, he directly asked Eld to set the location there.
As if he were a puppet being controlled, Eld stood up with stiff movements, walked over to the white wall, and knocked three times to activate the mechanism. The wall rose up and inside was a massive machine with a green screen fluctuating in gentle curves.
It was no wonder such a large central communicator had been placed in the basement of the bar, Ya Xiao nodded to himself.
Meanwhile, Eld tapped a few keys on the screen. He withdrew his hand, his eyes numb, and hoarsely replied, "It's done."
As soon as the words fell out of his mouth, he sat down helplessly on the ground, his entire body pale. Any other person with a conscience who was controlled to persecute his own companions would not be in an easy mood, not to mention the fact that his companions shared the same experience as he did, a group of poor people who had lost their homeland.
Ya Xiao looked at Eld's numb and agonized appearance. While taking out the black and white clown mask from the system storage, he comforted in a light tone, "Don't be afraid, I won't harm your companions."
Not harming them?
Eld's eyes twitched with some hopefulness, his puckered lips opening and closing up and down, "You're telling the truth?"
"Of course."
Ya Xiao nodded seriously. Originally, he had only wanted to check if this was the organization's hideout today and didn't intend to show himself. He didn't even wear a clown mask to begin with.
Now, even though he improvised and wanted to tackle this organization directly, he didn't plan to kill them, knowing that killing would take a lot of magic power.
During the daytime, he hadn't collected too much demon value, and at night, in order to obtain the clues of the central communicator, he had already consumed quite a lot of magic power to control Eld.
Use magic power a little less. The thrifty Ya Xiao would never wantonly waste his magic power.
Eld swallowed hard as he watched the dark-haired young man take a mask out of nowhere and put it on his face. An exaggerated and twisted grin tugged at the black-and-white clown's face, permeating it with some sort of dark humor.
"I'll just be handing them over to the Sixth Base."
Eld: ......
Is that different from hurting them?
"Are you really in league with Qin Qi?"
Eld tugged at the corners of his mouth, suppressing the anger and fear rising from the depths of his heart. His family died because of Qin Qi. If it weren't for Qin Qi, his woman and child wouldn't have died so tragically. He wouldn't have left his hometown to come to the Fifth Base. But now, there was still such a powerful person protecting Qin Qi.
"Why are you protecting that scum?!" Eld's eyes looked somewhat crazed. He chuckled a few times, laughing until his stomach hurt, tears streaming down his eyes again with bloodshot eyes. "Even if you protect him now, it's useless."
"He's a sinner of humanity. People will still realize the truth in the future. Those who hate Qin Qi will continue to come and seek revenge until he's skinned and his bones crushed to dust."
"You can't protect him."
Eld fervently made a prediction.
Noticing the young man wearing a clown mask pausing for a few seconds before reaching out towards him. Eld instinctively thought the other person was going to attack him. Just as he was about to raise his hand to resist, his collar was grabbed and pulled up.
"I know. He's super bad."
A clear, youthful voice came from beneath the clown's mask. He seemed to agree with what Eld had said, his tone serious with a smile.
"However, you're wrong about one thing, I can definitely protect Qin Qi."
Eld froze for a moment, then his brain went into a trance, followed by unconsciousness.
Ya Xiao tugged at the man's collar. The tip of his ear twitched slightly as he glanced at the closed door of the room.
[Fourth Uncle.]
[I'm here, host!]
The system was actually about to contact the host. Seeing the host wearing a clown mask and the middle-aged man collapsed on the ground, it paused for a moment, seemingly guessing what had happened: [Host, are you going to start acting now?]
Wasn't he just going to come over to investigate in the beginning?
Ya Xiao's eyes curved as he gave a hmmm.
[Fourth Uncle, help me lock the central communicator. It will be automatically unlocked after ten hours.]
Central communicator?
The system heard this and looked towards the large machine within the white wall. It immediately rushed into the machine and locked the device according to the host's instructions, and then spoke about the movements on Xiao Chen's side:
[Just now, Xiao Chen was sleeping on her bed, but I don't know why she suddenly opened her eyes and went out. For the time being, I don't know where the other party's destination is.]
Ya Xiao tugged on the man's collar and lifted it upwards, his tone carrying a slight smile: [Well, she should have gone to an abandoned factory.]
When the system heard this, it immediately realized that this should be an effect caused by the host, and it immediately advised, [Host, be careful in everything.]
[Okay.]
Ya Xiao nodded and then disappeared in place, also disappearing was the middle-aged man who had been tugged by his collar and had passed out.
