Chapter 23: The Lingering Ghost

  Afraid of Mimili misunderstanding, Hamilton deliberately put on his imperial military uniform and went out for a walk without wrapping himself in a bathrobe.

  Even though he wanted to do it.

  Opening the hatch, Hamilton’s eyes lit up.

  Mimili changed into tight jeans and a bat shirt. There was a heart-shaped pendant on her snow-white neck, and she could still see the cute butterfly tattoo on her shoulder.

  ”Uncle,” Mimi Li looked up and looked at Hamilton’s expression, “Try to see if these clothes fit. They are all steamed and washed at high temperature ... Is it convenient for me to come in?”

  ”This is your ship, Captain Mimily.”

  Hamilton turned sideways and made a gesture to invite him in, and Mimili’s smile suddenly became more confident.

  It’s obvious that she likes to be called Captain.

  Hamilton purposely left the hatch open.

  Because there would be continuous jumps next, he fixed the hatch with suction cups.

  Mimili looked at this resting cabin, which she had not been to a few times. She put her straight butt on the edge of the desk and said with a smile: “I heard from my father that you and he teamed up to take down Cole Harbor Prison.”

  ”That’s right,” Hamilton pointed at the blue coating that appeared outside the porthole, “Why don’t you find a place to sit down first? The jump is about to begin.”

  Mimili walked to the sofa next to Hamilton. When she sat down, she held her long legs together like a lady, and then leaned aside.

  ”The jump operated by dad will be very stable and will not affect our chat ... Uncle, are you a soldier of the Sherman Empire?”

  ”Before they gave up on me, I was,” Hamilton shook his head, “but from now on, I have to re-plan for my future.”

  ”A powerful empire will not feel pain no matter how many soldiers it sacrifices,” Mimi Li said with a disgusted expression, “They use imperial power to restrict individual freedom. I really don’t know why there is still a ruling class like the aristocracy in this day and age. exist!”

  Buzz——

  The jump begins.

  A faint light appeared around the two people, like an extra layer of hazy lens, and the sound waves generated by the vibration of the throat also showed slight deviations, making the lingering sounds thicker and longer.

  These are phenomena unique to subspace.

  After more than ten seconds, everything returned to normal, and the light film turned into flying light spots and dissipated in the universe.

  The spacecraft immediately started a new coating, but this time it was not blue light and shadow.

  ”Are there multiple subspace membrane launchers on the spacecraft?” Hamilton asked curiously.

  ”Yes,” Mimi Li smiled, “We must maintain high maneuverability and anti-tracking capabilities. Even though this spacecraft is only a hundred meters long, sixty percent of the space is actually a jump device. In addition, There are also an equal number of deflectors to avoid resonance, and the hull material is comparable to those of large warships ... The pirate ship is our second life, Uncle Hanton.”

  Hamilton crossed his legs and stared into her light gem-like eyes.

  ”Mimili, you came to me while Kolev was operating the jump. You probably didn’t just express concern for Kolev. I have a straightforward temper and prefer to go straight to the point.”

  Mimi Li bit her lower lip lightly: “My father praised your fighting prowess ... I want to make sure first.”

  Do you mean inspection?

  Hamilton said with a bit of amusement: “Mimili, I can probably guess what you want to do. That guy named Kimo - your father’s former subordinate - he took over your position as the leader of the Black Dragon Pirates., you want to take revenge on him, right?”

  ”Yes,” Mimi Li’s eyes became sharp and filled with hatred, “I want to take back everything that belongs to me, without relying on my father’s help.”

  Hamilton said: “You have fallen into a misunderstanding.”

  ”What?”

  ”In other words, Kolev loved you so much that he misjudged it.”

  Hamilton picked up the distilled water he drank before and moistened his throat:

  ”The pirates are a group of unruly people. The inheritance should not be the father’s death but the son’s succession, but the ability to win. Kolev thinks you have this ability, but in fact you don’t have it yet.”

  ”It was Kimo who framed me!”

  Mimili became excited: “I was bewitched by him to buy those beauty instruments, and I didn’t know that they were special expenses for purchasing fuel cells! He planned everything!”

  Hamilton:...

  It was so easy to come up with the words.

  ”Look, you can’t even maintain the most basic calmness. You were easily angered by me.”

  Hamilton sighed and shook his head with some disappointment: “I said for the time being. Just because you don’t have it for now, doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future.”

  Mimili’s pretty face turned a little red, and she stared at Hamilton without saying anything for a while.

  The second jump began, and Mimili took these ten seconds to calm down.

  ”What uncle means is that we need to prove it in both directions. I prove to you that I have the ability to take back the black dragon, and you prove to me your superb fighting skills, right?”

  ”That’s probably true,” Hamilton said, “but I also need to be honest with you about something.”

  Mimili stood up and stared at Hamilton quietly.

  ”I will not consider becoming your subordinate until you become a better man than your father,” Hamilton reminded. “Even if you become a better man than your father, I will not sacrifice freedom. The best we can do is Temporary cooperation.”

  Mimili nodded, turned around and left the cabin without saying anything more.

  If she hadn’t kicked the bulkhead in the corridor, Hamilton would have thought that the future Star Widow was a docile sheep.

  These clothes were obviously worn by other people, but the materials were soft to the touch, and there were indeed traces of disinfection.

  Hamilton locked the cabin door, looked at himself in the mirror on the wall, and took off his imperial uniform for the last time.

  Buzz——

  The jump begins again.

  Hamilton squinted to enjoy this wonderful feeling for more than ten seconds, and his eyelids suddenly jumped slightly.

  Gu Guwu——

  Hamilton suspected that he had heard wrongly.

  He suddenly turned around and saw the cabin environment with overlapping shadows; and he closed his eyes, and a picture quickly flashed before his eyes.

  The deep starry sky and brilliant nebulae are all meaningless vistas.

  As if right in front, directly in front of the darkness, the girl was quietly suspended there, her crumpled body curled up, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep in the universe.

  Female, Valkyrie?

  Gu Guwu——

  ’I want to eat you. ‘

  ’I want to eat you. ‘

  ’I want to eat you. ‘

  The whirling murmurs continued to echo, and a shadow of a planet seemed to appear behind her; when Hamilton wanted to look more carefully, the light and shadow in front of him shook slightly, and everything disappeared.

  The jump is complete.

  There was also a trace of lingering sound that penetrated Hamilton’s ears, which seemed to be the whisper of the Valkyrie in a dream.

  ’Become one with me, Hamilton. ‘

  Hamilton’s hair stood on end.

  ...

  Can’t even anti-matter bombs kill Valkyrie?

  As we all know, the principle of antimatter bombs is to use antimatter to collide and annihilate matter to produce high-energy gamma rays, converting nearly 1% of mass into energy.

  The most powerful weapon developed by earth civilization, the hydrogen bomb, can only achieve less than 0.7% mass-to-energy conversion!
