Chapter 83 Being Targeted

"Are you serious? Is it a fusion?"

"If I feel good, then yes," Yun Mo didn't know why they were so excited, but she still told the truth.

"Could it be?" The two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Huo, does this hospital have XM corrosion detection equipment?"

"What did you say?" Huo Chuan seemed to be awakened by this sentence.

"XM erosion? How is that possible? That would only happen when the Covenant invades!" Huo Chuan took a few steps back in disbelief.

Huo Chuan knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly went out to arrange the equipment.

"What is XM erosion?" Yun Mo didn't quite understand.

Mrs. Wang slumped in her chair, lost in deep memories.

"You young people probably don't know that two hundred years ago, the Covenant invaded and humanity had a very terrifying experience."

"What exactly is the Star Alliance?" Yun Mo had seen discussions about it on Starnet, but didn't have a particularly deep impression.

"The Covenant were originally a species of life with extremely weak bodies but extremely high intelligence. They constantly merged with other races and evolved based on their genes. They believed that they were the ultimate direction of cosmic evolution."

"So, in the countless eons of the universe's past, many intelligent lives were assimilated by them, and ultimately destroyed by them."

"Humanity is their next target. They look down on their weakness, but their potential fascinates them. Many people have been captured for fusion experiments, starting with mental erosion."

"This kind of erosion could mean becoming their puppet, or becoming their spiritual source of sustenance..."

"Two hundred years ago, we paid a heavy price to cut off their path."

"Since we are weak, why do we have to pay such a heavy price?" Yun Mo was puzzled.

"Because their mental attacks are almost impossible to resist. This is why humans later attached so much importance to 5S mental power. People of low levels cannot resist their erosion at all." Mr. Wang was also frightened.

Although they had not personally experienced that period of history, the lifespan of interstellar humans was long enough that their fathers had passed down this personal experience.

"I understand," Yun Mo nodded.

At this time, Huo Chuan was followed by several people in a hurry, carrying an old instrument.

"drop……"

It only took one minute for the instrument's analysis results to come out.

It is indeed XM erosion, terrible.

Judging from Wang Mingyi's condition, she should be treated as spiritual food.

If the Star Alliance survives on the Central Star and maintains the appearance of the human race, they must consume a huge amount of mental energy every day. Therefore, extracting food is their top priority for survival.

They thought that the universe had been peaceful for so long that such a thing would not happen, so they never went in that direction for treatment. However, they did not expect...

Mr. Wang frowned. "We must report this to the higher-ups! I hope our concerns won't come true. Even if it's an XM erosion, it's just an isolated incident."

…

At the same time, in the principal's office of the Leicester Military Academy, Principal Xue held his head with a pale face. The pain continued, causing him to frown and grit his teeth to keep from making a sound.

"Something went wrong..."

Principal Xue narrowed his eyes again and again.

How long did it take him, and how much did it cost, to wake up here?

The jump point was filled with cosmic wind explosions, and the shattered gravitational field almost destroyed them all.

He finally managed to parasitize this body before dying, but this body was too weak, forcing him to constantly drain the mental power of others to stay alive.

The time is not right and his ability has not recovered, so he must hide.

The person who was eroded before will at most be overly fatigued for a period of time, and then he will be replaced.

This time, something really got in the way. I didn't expect that the girl was so weak.

"I was careless! That Yun Mo is a bit tricky!"

Principal Xue sat on the chair, his hands clasped together, his eyes flickering.

He wasn't particularly worried about his situation. He was able to successfully hide for so long and wipe her out without leaving a trace before anyone noticed...

"beep……"

Principal Xue sat calmly and answered Taip's call.

Although Taip was completely drunk, he still tried to open his swollen eyes when he saw the number on the other end. "Principal Xue, you shouldn't have sent me a message."

"Really? Let's talk," said Principal Xue.

"You are the principal of Raychester, and I am Admiral Tang's supply officer. We shouldn't have anything to talk about."

"I think we can talk about the protective shield material of Planet 186..." Principal Xue sneered.

"Where shall we meet?" Taip pushed the woman next to him away and ran straight to the study.

"I'll wait for you at Bremen House at 2 pm," Principal Xue said, and then hung up the phone.

…

This conversation has been played in front of Lian Yi several times.

"Material for the protective shield of Planet 186... heh..."

However, compared to sending the idiot Taip into the star field, he was more concerned about what happened next.

…

Huo Chuan followed behind Yun Mo, feeling a little uneasy.

"Hey, aren't you worried?" Huo Chuan asked.

"Is worrying useful?" Yun Mo asked back.

Huo Chuan was choked by her, "Don't you know how to calculate? Can you figure out where the Star Alliance people are?"

Yun Mo nodded and shook her head, "I have a suspicion that I can verify."

"What doubts?" Huo Chuan took her to a room, pulled a stool over and sat down, and asked anxiously.

"Principal Xue..." Yun Mo said in a low voice.

"What?" Huo Chuan stood up suddenly, "Impossible!"

He knew something about Principal Xue. He was a typical good guy and had no ambitions.

Yun Mo raised her right index finger and shook her head. "You have his date of birth, right? Although it's not precise enough, I can try."

Huo Chuan stared at her seriously, and seeing that she was not joking at all, he pulled up Principal Xue's profile as requested.

Yun Mo had a solemn expression. The hexagram in front of him was Ze Tian Ge, a change of Ze Huo Ge. It showed that the official ghost Chou Tu was empty and then moved to transform into descendants, which was a sign of death.

This hexagram almost overlapped with Yun Mo's previous suspicions. Principal Xue wasn't known for his longevity, but he was in excellent health. Therefore, it was highly likely that something had happened to him.

Huo Chuan felt creepy. This matter was beyond his understanding.

"Are you sure?" He still didn't believe it.

Yun Mo didn't want to believe it either, she thought about it more.

When exactly did Principal Xue's incident happen? Given the speed of the Star Alliance's spiritual erosion, how many people are already his followers?

"Keep silent about this matter for now," Yun Mo instructed Huo Chuan.

"Why?"

"You want to die?" Yun Mo said, "How many people do you think will believe us?"

"What do you think can be done to him after what he said? Is there any way for the Federation to tell?"

"Will he turn to something more dangerous? Or even just wipe us out?"

"Then do nothing?" Huo Chuan asked.

"No," Yun Mo said thoughtfully, "The luck of this place is still strong, and there won't be a major crisis in the short term. So I judge that they are not strong enough. It would be better to follow the clues and find the real culprit instead of just arresting Principal Xue and letting the others hide..."

"You're talking nicely, but just the two of us?" Huo Chuan said.

"Of course not," Yun Mo curled her lips, "They won't make any big moves for the time being. Even if they do, it will be a conspiracy at most, and they won't reveal their true intentions. So we still have time..."

Huo Chuan saw that the diamond-shaped lips opened and closed, making countless arrangements and back-up plans, to resolve the crisis that the world feared so much in silence...

Huo Chuan's legs were almost weak, and he felt that it would be more convenient for him to kneel...
