Chapter 1902: Chapter 592: "Criminal" (6k)_3

"Oh, by the way, teacher."

The Emperor was about to conclude this impromptu meeting and arrange for the things discussed earlier when he suddenly turned back to look at the departing Quantum Ghost.

"Could I ask you to leave behind an additional Ghost Avatar?

The Red Moon Church is unlikely to stop at just this action. Constantly losing fleets is not a solution. I would like one for insurance for next time."

The Quantum Ghost jumped down from the desk and paused in thought.

The Emperor’s speculation was correct. The Church was indeed preparing for the next, and even the one after next, counterattacks.

If she really split her Strength, she would not be able to openly hold back when the time came; it might even result in a battlefield defeat somewhere...

Is the Emperor starting to suspect?

No, it probably resembles their earlier speculation about the Church’s combat power arrangement, just for safety...

Thoughts flashed by in an instant, and she leaned on the table she was sitting at, arms crossed, squinting at the Emperor.

"The number of my Ghost Avatars is limited. If I really have to split another Avatar, I will need your approval to remove some protections from specific areas."

"No problem, someone will go to the Ghost Avatar in the No. 1 Starship Manufacturing Area to take over your task soon."

"Okay, I understand. When the time comes, you can just take the Ghost Avatar from there."

With that, the Quantum Ghost’s body turned into a pale blue stream of data, as if merging into the Quantum Network, disappearing from sight.

Starry Sky, Ellie’s planet

"According to assessments from the higher-ups, it is highly likely that spies from other civilizations or organizations have already infiltrated the Red Moon Church. Find a way to pinpoint and report them, seize the opportunity to earn merit, and accelerate your status accumulation within the Church."

Noxico looked at the new information in the secret communicator, massaging her temples in frustration.

"What do they take us for?

We ourselves are spies, and it’s already challenging enough to conceal our identity without having to expose other spies..."

Noxico instantly realized that this order did not come from the "Gray Gang."

As a member of the "Gray Gang," the principle during infiltration missions has always been to never stand out excessively or make oneself too conspicuous.

Striving to elevate status quickly through hard work is understandable, as it’s not uncommon and not particularly special within the Church.

However, to report colleagues, that is indeed going beyond limits.

If this were from the top brass of the "Gray Gang," they would never issue such bizarre demands.

But she had no choice. Orders for the "Gray Gang" only came from the higher hierarchy of the organization, and the "Gray Gang"...

is the Emperor’s direct intelligence gathering organization...

Given it is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, what else can be done?

"On the bright side, if I can reveal more spies for the Lord of Red Moon, I can receive more rewards and accelerate my promotion.

Furthermore, removing those spies also cleanses the Church and facilitates my work.

It seems my recent suspicion was correct; those few guys genuinely have issues.

The next step is to collect evidence."

Noxico deleted the message, put away the secret communicator, and walked out of the temporarily hiding restroom.

Several subordinates were already waiting outside the door.

"Boss, what’s the news? Any new task?"

Since the battle concluded yesterday, perhaps due to their excellent coordination, all the Empire spies on this planet were reassigned under Noxico’s command.

Initially, they were worried about being suspected, even mentioning it in reports.

But after a day passed, they noticed that aside from the change in roles, nothing else seemed to have altered, which reassured them.

In fact, with a group of insiders gathered together, work became even more efficient.

And Noxico, being the most successful at infiltration among them, naturally became the boss.

"Yes, the higher-ups want us to locate spies from other civilizations. It’s likely those we suspect.

Your next task is to gather evidence."

"Understood!"

The subordinates replied softly, and Noxico smiled.

"But there’s no rush. Before that, let’s complete the Church’s mission first.

Only by contributing more to the Church can we advance in Rank!"

"Indeed, advancing in Rank allows us to better complete the higher-ups’ tasks..."

"Haha, my contributions are almost enough. I’m ready to promote to Rank Three and attain true Transcendence!

I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time!"

Listening to the excited tone of the followers behind her, Noxico smiled and shook her head.

It’s been a long time since she experienced this. Everyone laughing and joking, it’s really nice...

Praise the Lord of Red Moon!

"Alright, steady yourselves. Our next target is a vicious criminal, and we can’t afford to relax.

If we’re not careful, it could really cost our lives."

"Yes!"

The followers quickly reached the target location. As Noxico mentioned earlier, their mission this time was to handle a Transcendent "criminal" on the planet.

Reportedly having only recently entered the region, with formidable Strength, they were deployed for this operation.

"Did you all understand the previous plan? The target has reached Tier Three and wields a dangerous weapon, something you can’t handle.

Delay it, and then leave it to me!"

A white light flashed across the ring on Noxico’s right hand, and a specially designed water gun appeared in her hand.

Being a "Divine Artifact" with minimal negative effects and considerable Combat Power, this item is not casually treated as a promotion material for someone, but is instead retained as a weapon for Low-tier Believers, to be mobilized when necessary, like now.
