The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1262 - 432: Detected Anomaly (6k)_3

Just by thinking for a moment, he recalled the matter.

"It’s the same squad that was counterattacked by Red Moon believers, isn’t it? So quickly, it’s already the second one....

But except for that ’execution,’ there hasn’t been any intentional murder. Are they trying to show intimidation without offending us?

Moreover, the activities of the Red Moon Church have recently reined in...

Heh, send a notification to the lower squads to steer clear of Red Moon Church people.

As for that squad, let’s bring them over."

The leader hesitated for a while but ultimately decided. He had similar thoughts a few days earlier when he learned another squad was counterattacked by Red Moon Cultists.

He’s just a "working man," no need to fight so desperately.

Since those Red Moon believers showed cooperation and concession, he didn’t have to chew on tough bones.

Anyway, targets from other factions clearly offer better value.

"Yes, Master!

By the way, there’s another matter I’m not sure if I should mention..."

The main intelligence’s projection agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"What? Is there a special situation?"

"It’s not really a big problem; it’s just that during routine inspections these days, I’ve found some anomalies in the data.

The system energy consumption in certain areas seems to have slightly anomalous conditions, with an increase of a few tenths of a percent compared to the normal values in the operational record.

Yet when I specifically filter for the cause, I find no issues at all..."

"Energy consumption anomaly? Are there anomalies in other aspects, like databases?"

The leader’s expression turned serious; he immediately put down the mechanical object in hand and asked.

He understood that his main intelligence suspected an invasion. If true, it indeed was significant since this headquarters held many core secrets that couldn’t be casually leaked.

This was also why the Three Great Civilizations eventually appointed him as the leader.

Aside from his combat capability as a Mechanical Master being weakest without the Mechanical Forces, he was chosen to rely on his ability to safeguard the data here.

Given that the Faith Hunter had been active for so long, it was natural for some wild high-tier Mechanical Masters to target here as a breakthrough to seek the secrets of the Three Great Civilizations.

He himself had once done similar things.

But his main intelligence’s projection exaggerated a loss expression, making a shy gesture with its fingers pointed together in front, and awkwardly said:

"But Master, this is the odd part. I’ve already specifically retrieved all records from the places where the anomalies occurred for analysis, yet detected no anomaly. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Aside from the increased energy consumption, no other issue was found at all.

There was no trace of quantum invasion by a Mechanical Master. If there was indeed an invasion, it only meant one thing..."

The main intelligence didn’t finish the sentence, but as an 8th Rank Mechanical Master, deeply understanding this path, he already understood what his intelligence was trying to convey.

To achieve a quantum network invasion against a Mechanical Master without letting the invaded discover it only suggested a complete overpowering possibility—one that wasn’t ordinary.

Just like if he were to invade a non-high-tier Mechanical Master, he could accomplish similar feats.

But as long as the invasion target reached high-tier, he wouldn’t have this confidence.

However, if the ability reached this overwhelming level, why bother with quantum invasion?

Wouldn’t a direct attack be more appealing?

Moreover, he himself was already 8th Rank; not to boast, but no Mechanical Master had emerged capable of invading him and remaining unnoticed!

Thus, after hearing his intelligence speak thus, he instead felt reassured.

"As long as there’s no invasion, the energy consumption anomaly might as well be due to mechanical hardware malfunction. Continue to monitor and invite a maintenance team for inspection.

Heh, maybe it’s the procurement department purchasing low-quality devices again, or the original product is simply poor quality.

Ultimately causing internal damage after a period of operation..."

The leader shook his head helplessly; his long lifespan had exposed him to various rare situations, having seen it all.

"Alright, I’ll get on that. Also, Master, the squad has arrived; I’ll be taking my leave now~"

With a farewell gesture, the main intelligence’s projection vanished, almost simultaneously, a squad appeared outside the door.

Gesturing for them to enter, the leader naturally recalled the intelligence this squad previously reported.

Another squad was ambushed using Abnormal Objects while hunting Red Moon believers; fortunately, those Red Moon believers didn’t go for the kill, allowing them to escape successfully.

He already had decisions made for dealing with Red Moon believers, and this was merely a symbolic inquiry.

"Tell me about your detailed battle experience this time..."

The leader began his questioning, while on the other side, the just-departed main intelligence commenced its tasks.

The leader’s judgment was practically its speculation; however, as it potentially related to an invasion, it, as main intelligence, couldn’t decide and ultimately required its master for final adjudication.

Having now received the approval, it immediately contacted the teams already prepared internally.

"Following Master’s orders, head to Star Port 1, Star Port 3, and the Storage Area where energy consumption anomalies have appeared, possibly indicating mechanical issues. Perform respective system inspections."
