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

Moreover, the one who was strangled was none other than the ruthless memory thief she knew!

The guys who were initially identified as the mastermind behind the scheme were now displayed in such a horrific state before her eyes… Who did this? Who has the ability to do this?!

The Black Swan's expression hardened: "...An empty shell. The consciousness maintaining this physical body has vanished. The method was swift and decisive, leaving no trace."

She carefully observed the memory thief's death, various possibilities flashing through her mind: "Another possibility is that she sacrificed herself for some more secretive purpose."

"Whatever the reason, what exactly led these fanatical believers to such a state?"

"[Memory] Ah... indeed, the deep sea is both alluring and dangerous. Beneath the surface, there are always fascinating secrets."

[Star: I guess they're here for Gushigan? After all, these guys are here to steal technology. Too bad, not only is the stuff brewing here terrifying, but the security is also riddled with flaws! They've run into a brick wall, haven't they? Double-crossing, I like it, saves me the trouble!]

[March 7th: But isn't this incredibly inconsiderate of the authorities? They just hung the corpse up and left it like that, how cruel... What if it rots and spreads infectious diseases?]

[Bluebird: So the focus is on public health? But memes shouldn't transmit viruses, right?]

[Lagushi: However, this was definitely not my doing. See those red jellyfish? Those are memory spirits. This fragment of Lycurgus doesn't possess the ability to manipulate [memories]. That cruel, bloodthirsty power… Heh, interesting. There's actually such a special "Memory Receiver."]

[Yao Guang: Wait, you mean, another memory user intervened beforehand and intercepted the memory thief?]

[Cerudela: Moreover, the methods are extremely cruel. I don't know about the outer world, but in Ohma, most forms of torture used in executions have long been abolished. For example, slow slicing, branding with hot irons, burning alive, dismemberment by five horses, feeding a living person to dogs, roasting a living person, boiling a living person alive... and eighteen other creative little tricks have all been thrown into the dustbin of history. As for strangulation, it is one of the few remaining methods of execution that is more cruel than beheading.]

[March 7th: Is it really abolished? You pronounced it so smoothly!]

[Fireworks: It doesn't seem like someone who's never done this before.]

[Jing Yuan: The situation outside the heavens is pretty much the same; there aren't many left. Moreover, this method of killing, unless done on an execution ground, usually requires a huge difference in strength to succeed. Few people have that kind of patience. Of course, desecrating the corpse after death is a different story. But whether it's patience or desecrating the corpse, they both usually point in one direction...]

[Feixiao: Hatred! If the killer isn't a psychopath, then the killer must harbor a deep-seated hatred for the memory thieves. Merely killing them wouldn't satisfy her at all. In fact, in her view, even the most cruel punishment wouldn't be cruel enough.]

[March 7th: Oh my god... Who, who did this? Has Yiting offended anyone?]

[Black Swan: The incinerators in the Memory Court have offended quite a few people. After all, they have no professional ethics, and their act of stealing memories is always offensive. They often act with impunity, relying on their memetic bodies. But outside the Memory Court, where do such powerful memory users come from?]

[Black Tower: Someone, or an organization, that has absolutely no goodwill towards Yi Ting has launched an attack at this time. It's quite a spectacle, one act ending and another beginning, but anyway, hmph... good show!]

As the black swan ventured deeper, more empty shells of memory thieves appeared before its eyes.

But this time, she was lucky and managed to extract some residual memories from it.

She examined them one by one.

The composed memory thief said to his companion, "Get ready, it's time to set off."

The hesitant memory thief hesitated, "Is it alright? That world is shrouded in a chaotic mass of matter. That white band of light... has already caused our plans to fail many times."

The composed Memory Thief smiled faintly, his words laced with a hint of opportunism: "Don't worry. Ever since the pink-clad girl from the Starry Sky Train barged into Onpharos..."

"The barrier that had kept Yiting out has disappeared."

"It really was the nameless stranger from the [Pioneer] who helped us a lot."

[Star: Wait, March wasn't kidnapped, she broke in on her own?!]

[March 7th: And then, I also turned off Onfaros' firewall?]

Inside the train, the two, Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu, stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Xing looked March 7 up and down, then suspiciously pinched his chin and said, "March... when did you learn programming? You've even managed to hack into Lai Gu Shi's program. Damn it, this March is the most cunning. He looks silly on the surface, but he's secretly so clever that he can go toe-to-toe with geniuses."

"This, this really was me?" March 7th's eyes were clear.

Doesn't she know herself? She's read plenty of programming books; she's flipped through Walter's *E-Language: From Beginner to Expert* countless times, and the results... well...

Excellent sleep aid!

She still doesn't know what the third page looks like, but she takes it out to look at it every time she has insomnia, and it's very useful.

Of course, the first three pages are just to get familiar with the product; it recognizes you, but you may not recognize it.

On March 7th, looking at his reflection in the train window, he scratched his head in disbelief.

"How exactly did I do that?"

……

The hesitant person was not happy at all; instead, they became even more worried.

After all, "that thing" is extremely important.

"What are you so happy about? The more irrelevant people there are, the more complicated things will become. What if those pioneers find the seed of [memory] first..."

The calm and collected observer didn't seem to care at all: "Then we'll just steal it back, and that'll solve everything, won't it?"

"Speaking of which, there's a messenger and a memory-teller on that train, their allegiance is unclear. Be careful not to let them notice when you make your move."

[The Black Tower: Seeds of Memory...]

[Screw Gum: Speculation. The "Floating Li" simulated by Onfaros has enormous potential value for Yiting.]

[Yao Guang: That makes sense. How many times has this happened? The things from the ancient times are truly treasures from head to toe.]

[March 7th: Is the one who remembers the Black Swan? And who is the messenger? Are there other experts on the train?]

[Black Tower: Moreover, even among those of the Memory Court, they're so wary of each other… Could it be an internal war within the Memory Court? After all, often it's one's own people who are the most ruthless. But on someone else's turf, facing their predecessor's world-destroying project, they still don't understand the importance of teamwork and have decisively begun to kill each other? If that's the case, then the Memory Court is truly a laughable organization! Completely lacking in foresight and vision!]

"They really are ubiquitous," the Black Swan remarked briefly, then quickly realized something: "These Memory Receivers seem to have had contact with the stars."
