Chapter 1822: Chapter 572: Meticulously Crafted Drama (6k)_3

If there really is a problem, then how could the data he obtained at the space station today not match with the current data?

Moreover, when getting the data, he actually encountered a swarm attack.

"Damn, could it have been deliberately altered?

The space station was once attacked and was occupied by the swarm for a time, could it have been altered then...

And because the fortress has never fallen, the data has always been normal..."

Xi Bai’s eyes gradually widened, feeling as though he had discovered a secret bigger than the swarm appearing in the starry sky.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the swarm couldn’t possibly have the intelligence to control computers, let alone modify perfect data.

To accomplish all this, regardless of intelligence, at the very least it must be a human...

And coincidentally, there is a church that excels in similar things.

Moreover, this church’s believers had appeared in the starry sky not long ago.

This was seen in the internal intelligence of the "Shadow of the Hermit."

"No, this is still just my speculation. I must gather more intelligence to corroborate!"

Xi Bai muttered as he quickly operated with both hands, intending to extract more data from the computer.

But before he could retrieve much data, a mechanical voice warning sounded in his ear.

"Warning, unknown personnel approaching, identity verified, third ship cannon area supervisor, Jialang..."

"Tsk, why at this moment!"

Even though there was some reluctance in his eyes, Xi Bai knew that what he had gained was already enough, he couldn’t drag this on any longer.

With transcendent-level speed, he quickly restored the computer to its original state, and in the blink of an eye removed the data storage device.

A few seconds later, when Jialang reached the door, Xi Bai had already calmly opened the electronic door and walked out, encountering Jialang head-on.

"Yo, Jialang, you finally decided not to work overtime?"

Xi Bai switched to his usual friend-like tone, giving Jialang’s shoulder a playful pat.

"The work is done, there’s really no more work to do overtime on..."

"Hey, didn’t you give up struggling and decide to enjoy life, why still work so hard?"

"It’s just that the work habits of over ten years can’t be changed all at once...

Got used to working overtime.

Let’s not talk about that, why are you here?"

Sensing the suspicion in Jialang’s tone, Xi Bai laughed heartily.

"I came back to invite you for a drink, and since I was here, I decided to take a look around."

"Cut... you, taking a look around..."

Jialang’s face was full of disbelief, but Xi Bai knew he had successfully bluffed his way through.

Fortunately, the character he had crafted before was comprehensive enough...

"Let’s go to the entertainment area, finally done with work, we must have a good drink!"

......

After a period of peace, the chaos brought by the swarm was finally over.

An attack like that, the losses weren’t just economic; besides the numerous buildings and military creations destroyed by the swarm, there were also significant personnel casualties.

Especially many core military personnel, and even many officials in the Carli Empire government.

The number of casualties on the Mother Star was particularly high.

Looking out the window of the descending spaceship, despite the time that had passed, the area near the spaceport was still in ruins.

But surprisingly, the residential buildings were astonishingly well-preserved.

"Those swarms, in this aspect, seem to be quite considerate..."

Xi Bai withdrew his gaze, and during the waiting period for the spaceship to dock, he unconsciously recalled the reports from some time ago.

No surprise, the data he uploaded did not receive any attention from the "Shadow of the Hermit."

The leadership had already decided to pursue a lenient policy towards the swarm, even though it was discovered that it was the frontline battlefield swarms, no action was taken.

As for the suspicion that someone tampered with the data, it was just his own conjecture.

After all, it was just a perfectly normal piece of data, pure conspiracy theory guesswork, wouldn’t be accepted.

If even a spy organization believed in conspiracy theories, there wouldn’t be any need for intelligence work, just a group of people spouting conspiracy theories.

However, he still had a chance to turn the situation in his favor...

Xi Bai glanced at the transfer order in his hand, his eyes firming with determination.

According to the latest transfer orders, due to numerous vacancies on the Mother Star, a large number of personnel needed to be deployed to fill these gaps.

As a military personnel on the Mother Star Fortress who had demonstrated combat ability and contributed in the fight against the swarm, he was successfully transferred to the Mother Star.

He was directly assigned a position by the side of the Emperor of Che Li.

Today was his day of appointment.

Xi Bai walked towards the Imperial Palace, recalling the information from his assignment notice.

Many former civilians were also said to be assuming positions along with him...

It was said that the impact was too great this time, the swarm severely affected the official institutions, thus necessitating the recruitment of a large number of civilian powerhouses and geniuses to fill the positions.

This was a good thing for him.

Civilian individuals lacked a lot of professional training, making it easy for him to extract important information from them, and he could easily gain their favor as a senior...

As for his duty, he still held the position of a guard, a section’s lead guard in the Imperial Palace.

The scope of responsibility was not much different from when he was stationed at the fortress.

However, the location of the same guard duty this time was evidently considered a promotion compared to before.

Whether from his open identity or his hidden spy identity, it was the same.

This was by the side of the Emperor of the Carli Empire, and having come here, the intelligence he could access also became more significant.
