The male supporting character was actually myself.

Just as he was enjoying a deep sleep after a long night of hard work, a starship sped past in the distant, dark space, leaving only a silvery afterimage that looked like a long white veil from afar.

"Amy, do you think the Captain still remembers us?"

Xueye leaned against the porthole, gazing at the starry sky outside, and sighed softly, "We know some things, but we can't tell the captain directly. It's so frustrating!"

Ye Misha leaned against the table with her arms crossed, still looking like a noble queen, and said in a calm tone, "After we've been integrated for a long time, we do know a lot of secrets, but given Captain's condition, he certainly can't bear the serious consequences of these secrets."

I should think about how to integrate with the captain as soon as possible.

That's what we need to do!

“Yes, if the Captain has a new body and doesn’t remember us, we’ll have to start by slowly getting closer to him.” Amy lay on the table, bored, and said softly, “This time we sensed the Captain’s presence, not that he summoned us.”

It seems the captain doesn't remember us. We need to discuss how to get close to him.

Mandy blinked her big eyes, looking troubled. "So, we have to approach them stealthily, right? Won't it scare the Captain if we just tell him our true identities?"

"Hmm, I wonder how the galaxy records the great battle we participated in." Fei said with a troubled expression, "If it is reported truthfully, then almost everyone will know about the existence of ship girls, right?"

"Captain, even if you don't remember us, you won't be scared!"

Edith twitched her lips and shook her head, saying, "No one except the higher-ups in the galaxy would know the inside story."

"I wonder what the captain is up to this time. Is it going to be another intergalactic war?"

"Hey, last time we were summoned into that weird world to save the drifters, which was essentially saving the world indirectly. This time it's another galactic war. Is Captain destined to be the savior?"

"Perhaps this is the captain's true mission!"

"Saving the galaxy from peril seems to be our mission, doesn't it?"

"Oh, it's all the same. The important thing is to quickly think about how to get close to the captain and how to integrate with him!"

………………

"Brother, this is a clue I got. See if you can decipher it." Feng Yuan woke up, tidied himself up, and came downstairs. He saw Jiang Chen sitting on the sofa reading a book and handed him the red gem with a hopeful look on his face. "Maybe you can find a lot of clues!"

Despite the other party's insistence, Jiang Chen had no choice but to put down the book, take out his blue gem, and hand it over, saying, "Then let's exchange clues."

"I feel like I'm getting a bit of an advantage here." Feng Yuan scratched his head sheepishly. "I... I originally wanted to repay your life-saving grace and the kindness of the hunting mission. If we exchange clues... I really don't know how to thank you."

Or, I can list out the remaining items, bro, if you need them..."

He waved his hand and laughed, "I don't need any props, you can keep them."

I already said last night that it was just a small favor and you don't need to worry about it.

Our top priority is to complete the next task. Exchanging clues and brainstorming together might yield good results.

Feng Yuan blushed slightly and nodded in agreement. He exchanged gems with the other party, then sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and focused on sensing the clues stored within.

Jiang Chen also held the red gemstone in her hand and focused her attention on "looking" at it.

It felt a bit like a slideshow, with pictures appearing one after another in front of you.

The first picture is what Feng Yuan briefly described: a massive, futuristic starship with the famous mecha, Storm, standing atop it. Tang Xiaoqi, still looking like a tomboy in her military uniform, stands behind a huge porthole, surrounded by several blurry images of girls behaving intimately with her.

"Could they be the ship girls that the little white cat mentioned?" he wondered, focusing his attention even more intently on observing them.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Worried I'm cheating?

As if sensing that he wanted to examine the pictures carefully, the slideshow stopped playing.

A huge, high-resolution image floats in the void.

Jiang Chen carefully observed the girl next to Tang Xiaoqi, who was wearing a dark blue navy hat and a dark blue navy uniform. The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed with her expression.

According to Little White Cat, he was with the ship girls in both the interstellar world and the raft survival world, so he should be very familiar with them.

However, the main system does not unlock all memories, so even if you see a blurry figure, you can't remember what they look like at all.

It seems that the main system's control over the brain's memory is truly remarkable!

As Jiang Chen stared at the various details for a while, the blurry images of several girls gradually became clearer!

"Amy!" The name that suddenly popped into his mind startled him.

A gentle-looking girl with long chestnut hair tilted her head and looked at you with a gentle smile in her deep chestnut eyes. She wore black gloves, a small and delicate dark blue navy hat, a dark blue dress uniform, black stockings, and dark blue high heels.

This face was unfamiliar to him, but for some reason, Jiang Chen was able to immediately recall the girl's name.

"Did something special happen between us? Why can I remember things even though the main system hasn't unlocked all the memories yet?"

With a clear and dignified voice, slightly taller than Amy, and with slightly tousled long golden hair that shimmered with a faint luster; wearing a crown; dressed in a white court-style long dress with lace and elaborate trim, and holding a golden scepter, was Nightshade;

The beautiful girl with thick, light purple hair and wearing a dark purple uniform is Christine;

And... Mandy, who loves to cook;

Ice and Snow Beauty on a Snowy Night;

lively and lovely Fei;

Edith, with her short silver hair and composed demeanor…

Jiang Chen could distinguish the girls whose faces gradually became clearer in the pictures and remember their names, but he couldn't remember anything else.

Based on the clues gathered so far, it can be inferred that the war against the Death Galaxy requires the full support and assistance of the ship girls to have any chance of winning.

In addition, the little white cat occasionally "let slip" things, so it's basically understandable why the main system has been blocking its own memories.

Ship girls are the secret weapon in interstellar warfare;

In the previous mission world, he successfully killed the chosen one and took over the ship girl assigned to the protagonist in the script through certain means.

The main system is afraid that it will cheat!

Unlocking Tang Xiaoqi's part of her memory was to create a way to enter the army and complete the mission;

The reason for not unlocking the ship girls' memories is probably because they're worried about monopolizing them and taking them all for themselves.

Jiang Chen shook his head with a helpless smile and switched to the next image.

Compared to the previous photo with its delicate and refined style, this photo takes a dramatic turn and is full of strong contrast.

On an operating table resembling an operating table lies the corpse of a skeleton warrior. The intense light shines on him, making his stark white bones appear even more terrifying; the fangs on his helmet send chills down one's spine.

In contrast, the researchers in uniforms around him were quite blurry, making the skeletal warrior appear even more imposing and terrifying.

The next image shows seven beautiful ship girls surrounding a small, strange, circular device, their body language varying as if they are discussing something.

The following pictures are quite impressive; they look like promotional photos for certain movies.

Various mecha warriors soar through the universe or fight bloody battles, and the mechanical scenes are thrilling.

The last picture, at first glance, shows a dazzling ball of light occupying two-thirds of the image.

However, upon closer inspection, Jiang Chen could tell that it was a photo of the Death Galaxy.

However, the death galaxy, which originally resembled a yin-yang symbol with alternating black and white elements, seems to have undergone some change, causing its internal energy to become completely disordered.

The clusters of silvery-white light were interspersed with wisps of black energy, vaguely resembling an impending explosion.

"call!"

Releasing his grip and exiting the image presented by the red gem, Jiang Chen let out a long breath and looked at Feng Yuan, whose face was filled with excitement and some worry. "Our clues have many connections."

“Oh right, I saw something in your clues that I couldn’t understand before. It turns out they are warriors from the Death Galaxy.” Feng Yuan said worriedly, “I suddenly remembered what Meng Xiucheng said last night.”

Is he really someone who is ready to join the army?

The contestants have so many different kinds of props, it's impossible to guard against them all. What if he really leaves some clues? Will the relevant departments on the main planet come looking for us? I... I'm thinking, maybe we should try to infiltrate the military? What if we have a stain on our record or get caught..."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "You don't need to worry about those problems; I've already taken care of them."

As he spoke, he took out his communicator, opened the internet, found the top-ranked news, and handed it over, saying, "This is a video that went viral on the StarNet this morning."

Feng Yuan took the phone with some skepticism, opened the video, and was immediately stunned.

The video is a bit shaky, so it looks like it was filmed unintentionally.

In a secluded alley, a disheveled man (no, that's not right) stood motionless, while Meng Xiucheng pointed a gun at him, looking fierce and seemingly saying something menacing.

The person filming the video was clearly on the other side of the alley, shooting from behind the disheveled man through a thick fence. Perhaps worried about being discovered or wanting a clearer shot, the camera wobbled slightly to the other side.

At this point, Meng Xiucheng had disappeared from the frame, and another person standing to the side, whose face had been obscured, gradually revealed himself.

A sweet-looking girl, around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, had a ferocious expression on her face. She held a laser gun in her hand and pulled the trigger at the forehead of the slovenly man.

"boom!"

At the same time, the camera shakes to film the ground, but the gunshot is clearly captured in the footage.

The short video ended there, and Feng Yuan looked up in bewilderment, "This is..."

“Meng Xiucheng and his subordinate Li Zixuan were hunting down a suspicious person,” Jiang Chen explained. “This is footage I recorded with props. In reality, they were hunting down an ordinary person, but we stopped them.”

However, this video, whose uploader cannot be identified, proves that Meng Xiucheng and Li Zixuan conspired to rob and murder.

On the way back, Jiang Chen had already given him a brief explanation of Meng Xiucheng and the others' modus operandi.

Feng Yuan was still a little confused. "Well, we killed him, so will the military not pursue the matter?"

"Last night at the hotel, I asked you if you had registered your real information, right?"

"Yeah." He replied with a bewildered look, "I chose to stay at that small hotel because it didn't require real-name registration and didn't have any cameras or anything, so as not to expose my whereabouts."

What is the relationship between these two things?

The little wolf perched on his shoulder like a silly husky, listened attentively for a moment, and whispered, "I didn't understand either. At most, it's a little harder for the military to find you if you don't register with your real name, but this is the interstellar world. If you really want to find someone who has simply disguised themselves, isn't that easy?"

Besides, you made such a mess of the hotel room last night, the owner must have called the police first thing this morning!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm sorry, I've already opened...

Jiang Chen patiently explained, "The person Meng Xiucheng and his group were trying to hunt down was named Lewis, an ordinary person who ran errands for the underworld."

That day, Lewis was commissioned by a high-ranking official in the traffic management department to resell information.

Therefore, once the video was released, in order to avoid being implicated and investigated for reselling information, the high-ranking official in the traffic management department would definitely use all his connections to prevent Lewis, who was only filmed with a still back view, from being investigated.

With the sole survivor being consciously protected, the authorities and public opinion will certainly shift their focus to the perpetrator.

This confirmed that Meng Xiucheng and Li Zixuan were guilty of murder.
