The male supporting character was actually myself.

As Jiang Chen was examining the new ship girl, she tilted her head and carefully observed him.

“Let’s form a contract, Captain.” Christine’s ethereal voice was like heavenly music as she spoke. “You must have gone to great lengths to find this place, right?”

I'm so sorry, I was brought here by force.

"I failed to wait for the captain at the designated location and also exhausted all my energy. What an embarrassment..."

Without trials, the process of directly entering into a contract is very fast.

After the contract was completed, Jiang Chen asked seriously, "Are your memories still intact? What exactly happened back then? Why were you brought here and exhausted all your energy?"

“I possess a very important memory, but I need to communicate and integrate with my other sisters to fully recount the entire experience to the Captain.” Christine thought for a moment and then asked cautiously, “Is it convenient for me to see them now?”

Outside the small door, a gossipy middle-aged man looked at the closed door and muttered to himself, "What's inside?"

I really want to know!

Is this going to be a series that we'll never see in our lifetime?

If even a genius with SSS-level telekinesis can't figure it out, does that mean there's no hope for them in this lifetime?

I've been guarding this gate every day, watching batches of soldiers go in and come out, from my youth until now my hair is falling out and I'm almost bald..."

He was talking to himself when he suddenly felt a tremor in his legs!

"Oh no, an earthquake?" The middle-aged man was startled. His first reaction was to open the small door and call the super genius inside to run outside together. Otherwise, he couldn't bear the responsibility if something happened to him!

However, the tremors grew stronger, and when he opened the door, he found the small room completely empty...

At the very moment the earth began to tremble, a sharp alarm sounded.

Numerous combat robots swarmed out, all heading towards the same location—the graduation test platform!

Other staff members evacuated immediately, feeling the increasingly intense tremors beneath their feet, their eyes all turning towards that extremely unusual open area.

The intense tremors lasted for more than ten seconds.

The huge open space behind the test platform building had cracked open, revealing a huge crater, as if a gift box had been suddenly opened!

"Warning! Warning! An unidentified destroyer is taking off!"

"Warning! Warning! An unidentified destroyer is taking off!"

Sharp alarms, muffled roars, and the sounds of numerous combat robots and security personnel in mechanical exoskeletons running around...

The combination of various sounds from the surroundings, your ears, and the communicator is enough to give you a headache.

No one could clearly hear what commands were being issued over the communicator;

No one knows where this clearly futuristic destroyer came from;

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, machines, and surveillance cameras, a deep purple destroyer, as sharp as a sword, gracefully ascended into the air.

The military base's automatic protection system had just been activated, and before any automatic attack could be carried out, only a purple afterimage remained in the sky; the destroyer had already vanished without a trace!

Aside from the bottomless crater left in the open area as evidence, what just happened seemed like a dream.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Origin of the Ship Girls

"What? Repeat that again!"

"What exactly happened? I need a full and detailed report immediately!"

"Someone succeeded!"

"I always thought that destroyer would never be able to start again..."

……

The military base, major departments of the main planet, and the entire administrative planet were in an uproar because of the destroyer that appeared and disappeared.

The higher-ups naturally knew about the ship girls, but no one expected them to be driven away so suddenly, with no one even knowing where they went!

That's a devastating weapon; if it were to wreak havoc on the main planet... the consequences would be unimaginable!

While the main star and the administrative star were in complete chaos, Jiang Chen was already sitting in the main seat of the starship's conference room.

Seven beautiful ship girls were scattered on either side of the white oval table.

"Everything must begin with the past."

With all seven ship girls gathered, their memories were fully restored. Amy cleared her throat and, as their spokesperson, recounted the entire process to Jiang Chen.

"In the future, the universe will face a great crisis."

The reason for this was that after the enemy star system won the interstellar war, it plundered extensively, causing the local star system, which was in a special location, to collapse, thus triggering a series of chain reactions.

After numerous speculations, researchers decided to pool cosmic resources to create a fleet of super-powerful warships capable of long-distance time travel.

So the seven of us sisters were created and successfully traveled back to our slumber.

We await the right person to leave clues, allowing them to follow them and awaken us in preparation for the impending interstellar war.

We waited a long time but still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Until thirty years ago, a wisp of psychic energy unleashed astonishing potential on the battlefield, which was detected by the clues we left behind.

That person is your maternal grandmother, Xia Gujun.

She is the captain we chose.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the images we left behind in the wormhole, she immediately reported our existence to the administrative star.

At the time, everyone thought that she was controlling the mecha beyond her psychic capacity, causing hallucinations.

Nobody believed her.

So she led a group of people to Christine's sleeping place based on the location she remembered.

There... a fierce battle for control broke out.

This part needs to be told by Christine, who personally experienced the whole process. "I only saw some chaotic scenes, and I can't explain the specifics clearly..."

Christine recalled carefully, then replied in an ethereal voice, "I woke up from my slumber, ready to open the trial grounds."

Because the contract has not yet been activated, I am in a state that combines scanning and intercepting communicator signals, and I 'see' the change from an outsider's perspective.

They were not many in number, but their combat power was already quite strong for interstellar times.

Instead of entering the trial grounds and completing the post-contract as we expected, they deliberately bypassed them and used special equipment to locate my sleeping place through the trial grounds.

then……

They spent a lot of time and effort digging out my destroyer!

At first, it was chaotic everywhere, but everything was in good order.

But after my destroyer was dug out, a red, snake-like light suddenly shot out from the mech group, and then two of the mechs closest to me were paralyzed.

I can see from the scan that the pilots inside both mechs have lost vital signs.

The bright red light instantly caused panic.

From the communication signals I intercepted, I could hear people shouting things like "traitor" and "Serpent Galaxy," which were very chaotic shouts.

Then they split into two factions and started fighting. The captain's grandmother was on the weaker side, and I was worried that she would be in danger, so I forced the start.

Unfortunately, when it was designed and built, just in case, we could only use a small amount of energy before the contract was activated.

After I activated it, I could barely manage to get her and two subordinates to escape the pursuit in a spaceship. Then I ran out of energy and had to go into hibernation.

Later, I could vaguely sense that the destroyer had been moved to another location, but I don't know anything else.

The moment I was awakened by the Captain's full energy and felt the sensors of my sisters, I couldn't help but be so excited that I burst into tears!

Even more unexpectedly, the captain took over the responsibility of saving the galaxy and even the universe, replacing his grandmother!

"Traitor? The Serpent Galaxy?" Jiang Chen rubbed his temples and asked, "Since you were scanning the image at the time, do you still remember what the more important people in it looked like?"

Christine thought for a moment and nodded. "I have some footage saved. Captain, please wait a moment."

Soon after, several slightly blurry photos were projected onto the large screen.

Jiang Chen recognized Xia's grandmother at a glance when she was young. She looked to be around forty years old and was piloting a mecha with great style!

"These two people were the two deputies who helped the captain's grandmother escape on the spaceship."

Their spaceship was quite far away at the time. I scanned and saw a little girl waiting on board. As soon as they boarded, they immediately started up and flew away. Christine pointed to a blurry figure. "It was too far away; I couldn't scan it clearly."

Although there was only one shadow, Jiang Chen could still recognize that it was the original owner's mother.

It was probably from that time that they disappeared from the main star's database, and at the same time lost their memories and were stranded on the desolate prison star.

Could it be that they've been overtaken by hostile forces?

Jiang Chen looked thoughtfully at Christine and continued, "This person was the leader of an opposing force. I severely injured him back then, and I don't know if he's dead or not."

The man looked slightly older than Grandma Xia, with a square face, thin lips, and a resolute expression.

"He looks somewhat familiar." He rubbed his temples and gestured, "Let's do a facial recognition scan and see if we can find this person on the StarNet."

The ship girls were very efficient, projecting the recognition results onto the big screen within seconds.

“Imilu, the Supreme Commander of the Galaxy Military.” Amy found the most reliable one among many similar results.

However, in the photos on StarNet, the commander-in-chief has a hideous scar running from his forehead to his cheek on his left cheek, adding to his bandit-like appearance.

Jiang Chen tapped his fingers on the table intermittently. "If it really is him, then it makes sense. After Christine fell into a deep sleep, they caught up with Grandma's spaceship."

Perhaps in order to find the resting places of the other ship girls, they used interrogation and forced confessions, ultimately leading to their exile?

No, that's not right.

Who launched the attack that red lightning bolt representing the Serpent constellation?

If the attempt to extract a confession through verbal or physical means clearly failed, then why not simply kill the grandmother and mother?

Even if they were exiled to the most remote and desolate planet, they might still be discovered. Why didn't they kill them to silence them?

Moreover... for them, the most precious thing about their grandmother is the location of each ship girl in her memory, so why make her lose her memory?

There are too many illogical points; it doesn't make sense..."

After a moment's thought, he decided to send the photo to General Su Lan and ask her to investigate.

Just as she was waiting for news, Amy received a message and exclaimed with delight, "Captain, there's good news!"
