Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Potio: Black Swan is really this responsible? Doing this could easily get her labeled a traitor, right? And those unloved darlings, they must be like wolves in sheep's clothing, right? But Black Swan's single-handed investment is going to thwart them—that's tough! She's really something else!]

[Star: Are you praising her?]

[March 7th: Oh! So, the Black Swan is a hero who knowingly does the impossible? Her image has become even more towering in my heart!]

[Fu Xuan: This sense of responsibility and courage is truly commendable. I wish everyone around me had this kind of self-awareness.]

Inside the fortune-telling room, Black Swan scrolled through the messages in the chat group, her eyes stinging with tears, deeply moved.

Has their reputation finally turned around?

……

Black Swan said to Himeko, "I deeply regret what happened on March 7th, but the deal I offered is still fair. Onpharos remains an excellent destination; continuing the investigation may uncover the truth behind the accident."

"Ms. Himeko, continuing our cooperation is the wisest choice..."

"...?!" Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed drastically, and she hurriedly turned to look at the Möbius strip outside the car window.

Himeko was confused, but instinctively felt a jolt of fear: "What happened?"

Black Swan's eyes twitched slightly, her demeanor softened considerably, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

"...I partially retract what I just said, Ms. Himeko."

"We did make a deal, but I also dragged you into an unforeseen crisis... Please accept my apologies."

She realized she had gone too far again.

Himeko: "Has the situation changed?"

The Black Swan's voice turned low, even trembling slightly: "Fuli... His gaze just swept over Onpharos."

If her opponent is Yi Zhe, she can still maneuver and wait for the situation to change before decisively seizing key opportunities to turn the tide.

But if Fu Li gets involved, how will she profit from it?

[March 7th: Uh, another black swan event?]

Black Swan: ...

[Qingque: That was way too fast! He'd only been saying a few words!]

[Yao Guang: Why don't you change your name to Unicorn? If that doesn't work, Gray Rhino will do. It's just too tragic to keep getting "Black Swan" events.]

[Dahlia: Sigh~~ Although your glorious career was indeed short, at least you lasted for three seconds, right? That's already quite impressive; many people can't even do it for one second.]

[Fu Xuan: The problem now is, who will stop the invasion of the Memory Court's extremists? It seems they now have the Memory Star God backing them?]

[Dan Heng: No, we can't jump to conclusions yet. Do you remember how Xing came back to life? It was Fu Li!]

[Star: Huh? So, Fu Li is on our side, and those Memory Reapers are the "traitors"?]

[Xi Lian: It seems very likely♪]

——【Next: "Rememberers, Retracing Your Fate!"】

Inside the Black Tower space station.

Sunday was breathing heavily with a hint of pain, as if he had just fought a fierce battle, and... the outcome didn't seem very promising.

But he didn't dwell on his own situation; instead, he asked, "Is Ms. Black Swan's operation progressing smoothly?"

Black Tower waved his hand: "Don't worry. Taking advantage of the commotion you created, she successfully concealed herself and went upstream along the memory domain."

"I didn't realize that the person who remembers is quite brave."

While admiring him, she was also very interested in what the future held for this extremely loyal and righteous person.

after all……

"Breaking the law and acting without authorization... This means that she will be an enemy of Liuguang Yiting."

[Black Tower: Opposing "The Flowing Light Memory Court"? It seems the so-called extremists outnumber us more than we anticipated.]

[Star: Is the prison goose really going to take matters into its own hands and go into Onpharos to rescue people? That's certainly brave!]

[Silver Wolf: Oh, infiltration? I know, many games have similar scenarios. As long as you take out everyone who appears in your field of vision, you can achieve a perfect infiltration without being detected.]

[Fireworks: Yiting is coming on strong! If the prison goose "mistakes," it might end up as a roast goose! @MemoriesStealer, remember to add plenty of chili!]

[Robin: Praise be to you. May you bless the Black Swan so that her infiltration may go smoothly, allowing her to evade the enemy's watchful eyes and lead the innocent chicks back home.]

[March 7th: Don't try to save someone and end up getting yourself killed!]

[Black Swan: Don't worry, when I take action... well, I can't fail every time, can I?]

With great anticipation, the audience watched the screen intently.

Logically speaking, this should have been a cautious and thrilling rescue operation.

The memory thieves probably don't know that the Black Swan has betrayed them yet, but since she came uninvited, if they reveal even a hint of her presence, they might lose everything.

Therefore, one must be extremely careful when communicating with memory thieves; one must be extremely decisive when an opportunity arises; and if relations are broken, one must be extremely astute when being pursued by memory thieves.

This is by no means an easy task.

……

"That being said, I also have to consider the long term."

"I intended to remain hidden in the shadows to avoid direct confrontation, but..."

The screen lit up, and the black swan looked puzzled.

Even the audience was puzzled.

The black swan stands in the gap of memory, in the "sandwich" between Onfaros and the outside world, but when she looks around, the place is very different from what she remembers.

Why is it so deathly silent?

For a moment, she almost thought she had been transported to the wrong place.

"The space was filled with a rich, yet chaotic, quality of memories, like fragmented memories pieced together."

"The Memory Thieves should be flooding into Onpharos; this place should be bustling with activity..."

The black swan looked up into the distance, its expression grave and suspicious: "But...how did they become like this?"

A person who remembers hangs down dejectedly, floating in mid-air, surrounded by blood-red ribbons, looking extremely eerie from a distance.

But the black swan didn't back down; instead, it seemed a little excited: "Now, my curiosity has been piqued too."

[Star: @BlackSwan, as expected of you. I knew it. After what happened in the underworld, you still dared to take such a risk. You must have a bit of a masochistic streak. Are you a bottom?]

[Aglaia: That's strange. Are these extremist memory thieves really this quiet? And that memory thief with her head drooping, her "fashion sense" is really weird. Those red "ribbons" are just blinding.]

[March 7th: What's that memory thief doing? Why is he swinging on the swing for no reason? It's kind of scary from a distance.]

Upon closer inspection, the black swan realized that the memory thief had no "ribbons" at all; instead, it was clearly composed of several blood-red, jellyfish-shaped memory spirits.

Although they flew around seemingly without any physical contact with the memory thief, the scene was actually... a strangulation!
