onary atmosphere was effectively suppressed, and another crisis was averted. Furthermore, various government offices seized this opportunity to repurchase all the grain from merchants, replenishing th..."Hmph! If you can't chat, don't speak."

Kouki pursed her lips and said.

"I wonder when the ripples will be able to come down from the front lines."

“I heard from my family that the command ship where Ripple went was destroyed by the Octersians, her superior officer was seriously injured, and now she is acting commander until a new high-ranking officer arrives.”

Kouji's family is still very capable, and their information is quite accurate.

"That should be fine, they encountered the main fleet of alien warships and successfully intercepted them this time. They shouldn't be attacked again in the short term."

Star River said.

"That's not necessarily true. Battlefields are constantly changing; the enemy might just take a different approach."

Kojiki retorted.

And Ripples and Kouki shared the same thought; they also felt that the Oktevians would likely attack their defenses again.

This time, however, she wouldn't passively endure it. Because Xiao Liu had already deciphered the Octovian language and was filtering through the information downloaded before.

And the ripples have been waiting for Xiao Liu's decryption results all along. He wants to know what made the Oktovian so crazy.

"Ripple, I've got the results here."

What was the reason for their frenzied attack

"The homeworld of the Oktevorians has been invaded."

"The home planet has been conquered."

Ripples frowned.

"Pretty much, but scarier than this."

"What does that mean"

They were invaded by monsters from other star systems, but these monsters didn't aim to conquer by killing the Ocotvians. They replaced them, taking their skins and then began to plunder their civilization.

Little Six explained in a way ripples could understand.

Have the Okteviss explored their physical form

"No."

"How did they find out"

Rill asked, her brow furrowed.

They are intelligent beings, capable of sensing the differences between their own kind. They ultimately detected the presence of this intruder through magnetic field detection.

"Magnetic field detection Are you saying the invaders altered the Ocktovians' magnetic field"

"Yes."

Memory can be read, flesh can be replaced, but the magnetic field has changed.

Ripple said to herself.

“Yes, after this discovery, the Octuvians launched an investigation and determined that the change began when a rescue ship was brought back to their planet.”

Is there a picture of that spaceship

"Yes, I happened to save this section."

Xiao Liu immediately pulled up the image. This information, even within the Octuvian database, was encrypted, clearly very important, which is why he had made a separate copy. As a result, this major discovery was made.

Ripples looked at the spaceship image on the light screen. The spaceship was clearly attacked, its tail section already damaged.

"There are also internal images here."

Xiao Liu has once again displayed the interior image of the spaceship.

Ripples slid across the light screen, one by one. Suddenly, it stopped at a picture.

This picture should be taken by the Oktovian who boarded the spaceship first, a green-skinned alien in a protective suit sitting at the control panel of the spaceship, his big eyes staring intently at the doorway, clearly dead.

When did this alien die

"The astronaut was found dead when the spacecraft was discovered."

"What a coincidence"

"Yes, this is also how the Octarians judge when invaders enter their planet."

That is to say, this invader used this wrecked spaceship to land on Okote Star and then began invading their home planet.

"According to the data, it is like this."

Ripples stared at the picture for a long time. This intruder always gave her a sense of familiarity, only she didn't have any clue for the moment.

"If the Oktevians are so technologically advanced that they can detect invaders, why haven't they figured out a way to eliminate them"

The invaders replace the original Oktevsians, and cannot be eradicated unless the Oktevsians die.

If an Oktevsian were to be artificially eliminated and there were un-invaded companions nearby, those companions would become the next targets of invasion, a seamless transition.

At last, the Oktovian starpeople could only take all their technological achievements and abandon their home planet. They brought along a small number of people who hadn't been invaded and fled to join this side's combat forces, hoping to seize a planet from the Alliance.

Little Six explained very clearly.

"What about their homeworld Was it destroyed Otherwise, those invaders would eventually catch up, and they'd bring trouble to the Alliance."

The rippling darkness spoke with a sullen face.

"I don't know about that. Only the Ocktevsians who manage to escape in the future will know if they were bombed or not."

After Xiao Liu translated all the encrypted information, she got this result.

Ripple rubbed her temples, a real headache starting to come on. An intangible invader, or perhaps one they couldn't even perceive, it was like fighting the air itself—very tricky indeed.

The ripples, who was rubbing her temples, suddenly stopped. She finally knew where the familiar feeling came from.

Before this, she had completed a dimensional mission. The male lead in that dimension, Li Gang, possessed telepathy. However, this was an illusion crafted by a consciousness entity. It used Li Gang as its vessel, plundering the luck and all useful energy of those around him.

Because she possessed a powerful divine awareness and ample merit, she devoured this entity's consciousness in turn, reading its memories and reporting them to the task force. Afterwards, the higher-ups diverted all tasks related to the entity to specialized operatives and investigated a batch of taskers and communicators who had been replaced by the entity.

This matter caused quite a stir at the time. She went through several rounds of reviews and took a half-month break before resuming her duties.

This invader was so similar to that entity, she called out in her heart:

"Stone mill, are you there"

"That's it."

"Could this invader be the predecessor of the Conscious Entity"

The ripple asked very directly.

"Cough, yes."

"This is truly the purpose of my mission this time."

Ripple said definitively.

"Yes."

Why not just say it

"This is a test for you. The higher-ups won't tell you directly. If you don't figure it out yourself, I can't give you any hints."

After passing this test, you will have the opportunity to undertake more advanced tasks and even become an assistant to special task officers. This will be highly beneficial for you.

The stone mill immediately began to paint a big cake.

“You drew this painting, but at first I was dealing with a consciousness entity. Now it's a consciousness entity that has invaded a planet. What do you want me to do”

"Sorry, because this is your test task, I'm unable to interfere."

Ripples knew the problem wasn't with the stone mill, and she no longer found it difficult. She directly cut off contact and thought about how to thoroughly kill these invaders.

"Major He, Commander Melville wants to speak with you."

Liang Qian turned his head and said to Lianyi.

"Connected."

"Yes!"

A moment later, Melvin appeared on the light screen. He looked serious and said:

"Headmaster He, we're in trouble."ng Shanshi went to the carriage shop for work and saw Xia Qingran and her mother renting a carriage to go south to Jiangnan. He hesitated for a moment and returned home to get a bag of medicinal powde...
