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

[Star: Hmm... Hard to judge, very hard to judge. In a sense, the plan succeeded. It seems the reason Changyeyue didn't personally watch over me and only rushed over at the last minute was because she went out to catch the caged goose. But unfortunately, the caged goose disappeared too quickly; Changyeyue wasted all her time on the journey.]

[Black Swan: Arrogance is not my label. Against an opponent of this caliber, resistance is not a rational act. Besides, would Changyeyue really intend to kill me?]

[Long Night Moon: Rest assured, I have special "preferential treatment" only for you, the one who remembers.]

[Dahlia: Oh my, congratulations!]

[Black Swan: Something's not right. This 'preferential treatment' is really suspicious. This brilliant plan of the Black Tower has truly caused me a lot of trouble.]

[Jing Yuan: Actually, strategically speaking, this plan was absolutely brilliant. Sunday, the Black Swan event, plus Miss Xi Lian's lurking presence and her three-pronged, saturation-style rescue operation forced Miss Chang Ye Yue to fight on multiple fronts and be constantly on her feet. Given the cards we had at the time, it was hard to find a better way. It's just a pity...]

[Yao Guang: It's a pity that Sunday returned defeated, barely escaping death; Xi Lian's frontal attack failed, and there's been no news of her; Lady Black Swan was captured alive by Miss Chang Ye Yue, her fate unknown. Thus, all three routes are wiped out! At that time, Chang Ye Yue will probably laugh bitterly at Black Tower's lack of strategy and Sunday's lack of wisdom.]

[Qingque: I thought it would be a three-pronged attack, but it turned out to be Changye Yue's peaceful pacification of all three. How did a bestselling novel on Xianzhou describe a similar plot? Oh right! The Black Tower's brilliant plan to secure the world ended in losing both wife and army…]

[Silver Wolf: LOL, if the Black Tower inside the light screen knew all this beforehand, its expression would be hilarious. You can't do anything about it~~]

"#!" Black Tower's forehead veins bulged, he was almost going crazy.

When has Lady Black Tower ever been treated like this?!

The Black Tower's brilliant plan to secure the world backfired spectacularly, resulting in the loss of both his wife and his army...

Long Night Moon!

Sensing the increasingly uncontrollable rage emanating from beneath the witch's pointed hat, the little black towers silently turned their backs, pretending to know nothing, and muttered to themselves, "You can't see me, you can't see me..."

"Hmm... Hmph! I can't be bothered with her." Black Tower groaned, then finally crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, his words not quite on his mind.

She has a good habit of acknowledging the facts.

The truth is, she was indeed at a slight disadvantage in this round. Moreover, Chang Yeyue was ultimately still on the sidelines; although she was vengeful, she also understood priorities.

She wouldn't stoop to firing on friendly forces just because she was angry.

Nguyen Mai: "Would you like an iced coffee?"

"Hmph~" Black Tower snorted proudly, "I want it."

[Star: Changyeyue's strength is truly overwhelming. Facing the Black Tower's top-tier strategic battles, he simply relied on brute force to break through the stalemate! How... how did we even get to the Iron Tomb? One Black Seven almost wiped us out, and are there any reinforcements on their way? It feels like we're completely out of options.]

[Himeko: How about I personally enter Onpharos and persuade Nagayoshi?]

[Walter: Hmm? You're going to fight the corrupted girl?]

His usually calm and wise face suddenly looked like it had crashed.

"Absolutely do not do that!"

Himeko blinked, bewildered: "Huh???"

—[Next up: "The Great Tomb, the Secrets Hidden Deep in Reincarnation"]

In the collapsed, dilapidated underground palace covered with moss, a mature and voluptuous woman crossed her arms and looked up at the totem in front of her.

The black swan looked around blankly, a look of confusion on its face: "This labyrinth... it's filled with the atmosphere of the past..."

In other words, the memory is too vivid.

[Star: Oh?! The prison goose is actually unharmed? That's so unexpected!]

[Black Swan: You seem quite disappointed?]

[March 7th: Thank goodness. If the Black Swan had really been hung up by the Night Gods, I don't know how I would have survived.]

[Chang Yeyue: I've said it before, she deserves special treatment.]

Buzz!

A disturbing cacophony vibrated in my ears, and the long night moon appeared like a ghost behind the black swan.

"Your voice doesn't sound like usual; only a third of my curiosity remains..."

She made no attempt to hide her teasing, saying, "The remaining seven parts are all fear, beautiful memory."

The black swan was speechless, choked with emotion: "..."

As a prisoner, what else could she do?

Does that mean I've already witnessed far more terrifying things, and this is just a minor incident? What's the difference between that and yelling at a bone-setting doctor that you haven't eaten?

She wouldn't be so foolish as to commit suicide if she were aware of the consequences.

Long Night Moon is rarely understanding: "Of course, I understand where your fear comes from. [Long Night] is the enemy of memes; with just a flick of my finger, they can engulf you."

"And I..." The smile on her face gradually faded, and she said frankly, "I am Yiting's enemy, and I never hide it."

The Black Swan feigned composure, trying her best to argue for herself: "I must say, your choice of 'protection' is quite unique, Miss Long Night Moon..."

Her mind raced: at least she was still willing to communicate because I had disobeyed Yi Ting's orders.

Perhaps, I still have a chance...

"No."

The black swan trembled.

Are you not giving them a chance?

She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she had been startled by something unrelated.

However, Chang Yeyue smiled calmly and stared meaningfully into her eyes: "I don't think so."

My inner thoughts have truly been spied on!

The black swan's pupils constricted, its fear greater than before, even tinged with a humble anger that it dared not express: "...peeping into other people's hearts is hardly an elegant act."

She quickly changed the subject to avoid her thoughts being unwittingly attacked, and at the same time...

Chang Yeyue was right about one thing: even at a time like this, she still had a good amount of curiosity.

Black Swan pressed a hand to her chest, her expression one of self-pity: "Well then, before dealing with this 'Beautiful Memory', at least clear up a few of my doubts."

[Dahlia: Oh dear, my friend is truly a wise and shrewd one.]

[Black Swan: Darling, how I wish I could share both joy and sorrow with you.]

Chang Yeyue smiled softly: "Trying to buy yourself more time to inform your companions?"

The black swan sighed, "Aren't their every move under your surveillance?"

What appears to be a sign of weakness is actually a test.

She was captured in a single encounter, without any chance to assess Chang Yeyue's strength. Of course, even if she had the chance now, she wouldn't go for it.

However, the extent to which the other party has control over the memory domain is a crucial factor in whether I can escape.

Changyeyue remained noncommittal, looking up at the dome of the underground palace, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the earth.

She wouldn't mind showing her abilities to the caged bird to make her give up completely.

"Yes. The turmoil of the Earth has subsided. They have defeated the Wild Flute and are on their way here."
