Chapter 863: Shifting the blame



"No, no, no..."

Upon hearing Cleaner 9527's words, the subordinate's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly waved his tentacles, denying the allegations.

Are you kidding me?

How could someone in such a position possibly shoulder such a great responsibility?

If the pastoral faction were to actually disrupt the mother civilization's arrangements at the nodes of the Milky Way, not only would it be unable to bear the responsibility, but even Cleaner 9527 would be unable to do so!

Cleaner 9527 did not pay attention to his subordinate's denial.

It just stared blankly at the light screen in front of it, with a few tentacles waving unconsciously around it.

Its constantly flashing external memory storage device clearly indicates that its thinking organs are highly active.

The subordinate next to him carefully moved to the side, afraid of disturbing the cleaner 9527's thought process.

The cleaner, 9527, was extremely conflicted.

Are we just going to let this civilization travel to the Andromeda Galaxy like this?

This is only a level six civilization.

When did a civilized society, known for its sanitation, become afraid of a mere Level 6 civilization?

In its memory, no civilization has ever been able to attack the Cleaner civilization and then swagger away as if nothing had happened!

To put it mildly, this was just a minor mishap at the Cleaners' Galaxy branch.

On a larger scale, this even involves the reputation of sanitation workers as civilized individuals!

If the mother civilization finds out about this...

It's unlikely to have a good ending; at the very least, it won't be able to leave this remote and impoverished place!

However, a problem arises.

This civilization's behavior in war is very similar to that of a silicon-based civilization!

Normally, a small level 6 silicon-based civilization wouldn't even be worth its attention.

But this is the Milky Way.

Based on the inferences of the mother civilization, the silicon-based civilization known as the "Tenth Empire" was very likely born in the Milky Way.

What if these two civilizations are related...?

hiss……

Cleaner 9527 trembled slightly and quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.

Fighting is not an option, nor is not fighting.

Sweeper 9527 inwardly groaned, his anger towards the [Shepherd] intensifying.

Why did you have to provoke this civilization in the first place?

You not only provoked us, but you also had to report the outcome of the war!

Don't you know that all the logs from each branch are periodically uploaded to the parent civilization?!

Isn't this just creating trouble for it?!

If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel like you've lost out.

What did it do wrong?

It just wants to stay in the galactic center black hole region and complete its own mission!

Why make him take the blame?!

"Take it all!"

The annoyed voice of Cleaner9527 suddenly rang out: "Deduct all of the [Shepherd's] civilization contribution points!"

The subordinate standing to the side stared blankly at Cleaner 9527, unable to react for a moment.

"ah?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?!" Cleaner 9527 looked at his subordinate with an unfriendly expression.

"I, I understand!" The subordinate hurriedly brought up a light screen and changed the original order.

Looking at the punishment for the [herdsman] on the screen, Sweeper 9527 nodded in satisfaction.

Then, it fell into a dilemma.

So how should we deal with this troublesome civilization?

It raised its tentacles and unconsciously fiddled with the light screen in front of it.

The light screen displays a simulated flight path connecting the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.

Looking at the Andromeda Galaxy icon, Cleaner 9527 felt a sudden inspiration, and an idea arose in its mind!

"Notify the Andromeda branch that a Level 6 civilization has escaped the Milky Way while being pursued by the [Shepherds] and is currently fleeing towards the Andromeda Galaxy."

"This civilization is suspected of possessing a microcosm of unknown origin and basic river navigation capabilities."

"They must take interception measures against it."

The subordinate glanced at his superior with disbelief.

This...passing the buck?!

Seeing the gaze that Cleaner 9527 was casting at him, the subordinate quickly edited a message and sent it to the Andromeda Galaxy after confirming that it was correct.

After a short wait, a brand new light screen automatically unfolded.

"Sir, sir." The subordinate glanced at the information on the screen, then looked somewhat embarrassedly at Cleaner 9527. "The Andromeda branch has sent an inquiry..."

"They... asked us why we didn't do it ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Cleaner 9527's face darkened.

Do it yourself?

If it could do it itself, would the Andromeda branch need to do it?

After a moment of contemplation, it gave its own answer.

"The pastoral faction is very likely to launch another attack on the Milky Way nodes, and the Milky Way branch needs to be stationed in the galactic center region."

"Ask them if they can bear the responsibility if a node in the Milky Way is destroyed?"

"If it's within our capabilities, the Milky Way Division can step in to solve this problem."

The subordinate stared blankly at his superior.

That's a lot...

Why does this sound so familiar?

What are you standing there for?

Cleaner9527 glared at it: "Hurry up and send the information!"

"If there's a delay, can you take responsibility?"

subordinate:……

...

Laniakea Supercluster, Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, Giant Attractor.

A large, dark gray fleet silently navigated this dangerous region with its complex gravity.
