Mist knew exactly why the marshal had suddenly fallen silent.
The mysterious man wearing a clown mask was mysterious and his strength was unfathomable. He had only appeared twice, and although he was apparently helping the marshal, his purpose was unknown.
"Marshal, Soren is currently accessing the video footage of the Fifth Base and will be back soon."
Qin Qi gave a hmmm, his eyes not showing what he was thinking about. At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.
The office door was opened.
Fifth Base Marshal Wista walked in from outside wearing sunglasses, and also appearing was Soren who had gone to adjust the surveillance.
"Qin Qi, I've heard everything."
Wista's face had a rare absence of a smile. He sat on the sofa opposite Qin Qi: "Have your people go directly to search the Fifth Base, don't worry about me."
Originally, there was no concern for you.
Qin Qi lightly glanced at Wista.
Wista: Alright.
So far, Qin Qi didn't seem to have changed much from the usual. However, Wista was still a bit upset in his heart.
It was simply too ridiculous.
Just two days after the border meeting, some people from his base were trying to harm Qin Qi. It even looked like they had been plotting for a long time. Wista couldn't even maintain his usual loose appearance.
Qin Qi was his good friend. These criminals actually wanted to commit murder in the Fifth Base. They didn't take him seriously, did they?
He gritted his teeth, itching to end that organization with his own hands.
Qin Qi's gaze moved away from Wista's body and then looked at Soren.
"Reporting to the marshal, permission has been requested to access the surveillance related to the Fifth Base." The dull voice of Soren, who stood behind the table, came out from under the gas mask as he turned to press the button.
On the screen, the perfectly proportioned young man weaved through the crowd amid the clamor, his black scorpion braid hanging down behind his waist, his neck slender and white. The presence that should have attracted the attention of everyone was like a silent snowflake that didn't attract anyone's attention, and then, he walked into the basement.
The surveillance was interrupted here.
During this time, the youth could vaguely be seen not wearing a mask, but strangely enough, all the surveillance in the bar did not capture the person's face.

"Is he the mysterious man who helped you twice?"

The surveillance screen closed.
The mysterious youth's information was temporarily put aside. The group of assassins was more important than this unknown person.
Wista shifted his legs and suddenly spoke out, "They were all originally ordinary citizens of the Seventh Base."
"They" obviously referred to the imprisoned organization group.
Qin Qi raised his eyes.
The two adjutants present, Mist and Soren, both looked a little bad. They knew that the next words were not for them to listen to and temporarily retreated.
Only the two marshals remained in the office.
Qin Qi's expression was not much of a surprise, obviously having known that the group was the survivors of the Seventh Base.
Wista's heart sank at the sight. He tsked impatiently, leaned back on the sofa, and continued, "Those ten or so people are saying that you destroyed the Seventh Base, what are you going to do with them now?"
"Leaving aside their intent to assassinate senior personnel in the base, just focusing on the slander against a marshal, in our Fifth Base, a place known for its freedom. According to regulations, we could simply execute them without even considering the identities of those seventeen individuals."
"There are still people behind their organization."
Qin Qi's expression was calm and organized as if the matter he was dealing with had nothing to do with himself.
"According to the Sixth Base's regulations, the criminals cannot be executed for the time being until the criminals' network of relationships is sorted out."
There must be someone behind the organization, otherwise, how could a bunch of ordinary people go about suspecting an officer of destroying the base and quietly setting up a huge communicator when they didn't know what was going on?
Wista looked at Qin Qi who always only insisted on his own opinion. The corner of his mouth tugged, what the hell kind of rules are they pulling now? Those ordinary people were intending to assassinate the marshal, wasn't that enough for them to die?
This Qin Qi guy says so much just because he doesn't want to send those ordinary people to their deaths, right?
"In that case, let's wait for them to spit out everything and send them to the power plant for labor reform."
Wista directly took this job. Those seventeen people were all ordinary people currently living in the Fifth Base. If they were taken away by the Sixth Base for execution, it would make the real ordinary people feel uneasy.
"Hmm." Qin Qi did not refuse.
Wista scratched the back of his head in annoyance and said rather anxiously, "How can you be so calm? The rumor that you destroyed the Seventh Base is still spreading out from who knows where. It's even now being used by people who have the intention to build an organization to assassinate you."
"The news has been stopped for now, but looking at this formation, there must be quite a few people behind who want to use this rumor against you. What exactly happened to the Seventh Base at that time?"
Qin Qi didn't answer Wista's question, but only said, "If they come, it's just the right time to use it to force the mastermind behind the scene to be questioned."
Oh, that's already been arranged.
Wista was exasperated and laughed. The focus of his own words was clearly for Qin Qi to say what was going on in the Seventh Base in the first place, but this guy was good and directly ignored it.
"Don't give me that bullshit. Hurry up and tell me what happened at the Seventh Base."
Qin Qi did not make a sound.
Wista met Qin Qi's eyes critically through his sunglasses, and after a moment, he gradually tightened his smile.
No one was unaware of the destruction of the Seventh Base.
When the Seventh Base was hit by an extraordinarily large insect tide, general officers from the neighboring border bases went to support it. Wista and Qin Qi, as lieutenant generals, were naturally no exception.
Unlike himself who just thought about how to survive every day, Qin Qi almost recklessly charged forward. Later, due to his outstanding performance, he was even assigned a confidential mission.
Later on, the barrier MATHER of the Seventh Base disappeared, and the insect swarm surged directly into the Seventh Base. Now, that place has turned into ruins and a nest of insects.
Wista took a deep breath. He took off his sunglasses, and his dark brown eyes carried the trust of a comrade as well as solemnity, "I won't ask you about the Seventh Base again."
"However, Qin Qi, you must know that you are not fighting alone. Once you can't hold out, tell me immediately."
Qin Qi heard these words, and after some time, he let out a hmm, "Understood."
The office fell back into silence.
Wista couldn't take it anymore. He put his sunglasses back on and resumed that nonchalant look as he got up, "Those two people, Wenbor and Lu Chuanxi, should have heard the news as well. We'll still have to deal with them later."
"For your sake, I woke up at 6 AM. Since everything seems fine, I'll go back to bed now."
Wista rambled on. God knows it's been more than ten years since he woke up this early.
The office door slammed and closed.
Qin Qi looked at the closed door of the room and lowered his eyelashes, hiding his dark eyes and an imperceptible dislike of himself.
On the other hand, Mist, who was holding a file in his hand, was on his way downstairs when he suddenly bumped into Ya Xiao.
"Mist, I've already had the marshal's window patched up." Ya Xiao looked up at Misty with a somewhat worried expression, "What's going on at the marshal's side now?"
"Discussing things with Marshal Wista."
Mist knew in his heart how much trouble was involved behind this assassination.
There was no way the marshal could destroy the Seventh Base. This was a conspiracy against the marshal and even against their Sixth Base!
What he had to do was to find out the real culprit behind the scene as soon as possible, but there was no need to tell the butler more about these things. He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The people have all been captured, and the marshal is fine."
"That's good."
Ya Xiao's original worry dissipated and his eyes curved.
Seeing his expression, Mist recalled that when the gunshots suddenly rang out in the morning, Ya Xiao ran out of his room, the buttons of his top were wrongly fastened, and his expression was panicked. Obviously, he was too worried about the marshal's safety that he didn't even care about the grooming that the butlers valued the most.
Thinking about this, Mist felt more and more that letting Ya Xiao become the marshal's butler was a very correct decision. If it were any other butler, the moment they heard the gunshots, their reaction would never be to rush out.
"Right now, the marshal is discussing things with Marshal Wista. You still need to wait outside the door if you want to go see the marshal." Mist told Ya Xiao.
Ya Xiao, who had the demon value on his mind, nodded his head with a raised smile, "I know." Then, he walked quickly towards the office.
As a result, before Ya Xiao could walk to the office, he happened to meet Marshal Wista of the Fifth Base on the way.
The other party was saying something to his adjutant. Ya Xiao could vaguely hear Wista mentioning something about tightening inspections on the targets near the power plant. It seemed like there would be reforms at the power plant.
Noticing Ya Xiao not far away, Wista smiled and waved at him, without a hint of the base marshal's demeanor.
Ya Xiao politely greeted the other party and turned his head to quickly walk through the corridor.
Demon value, I'm coming!
Watching Ya Xiao leave in the direction of Qin Qi, Wista raised an eyebrow, then looked at his adjutant with an unserious expression. "Have the targets near the power plant been marked recently?"
"And let some people assist the Sixth Base in investigating the case. This matter must be taken seriously by our base got it?"
The adjutant quickly noted down the Marshal's request on his optical brain. "Understood, Marshal. I've already sent someone to assist the Sixth Base. Additionally, besides the power plant, the criteria for other labor reform sites will be decided by subsequent base meetings."
It had been a long time since he had seen their marshal so serious. This time, after such a big incident, he must help the marshal to fix the Fifth Base from top to bottom!
The adjutant looked as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Wista nodded casually, took out a piece of paper, and folded it, "Well, you decide on these yourself and give me an outline when the time comes. I'm going to go and get busy. My sweetheart is still waiting for my paper cranes."
The adjutant: ......
