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

[Gold Sand: Judging from Changye Yue's words, is she trying to give Xing and the others another chance?]

[Oswaldo: Hmph~ Foolish! The situation is already under control. To hold onto the power of oblivion and not use it is such a serious waste of resources! He keeps claiming to be choosing the safest and cheapest option, but he's applying double standards when it comes to the train crew.]

[Potio: You little vixen, how dare you show your face? Ha, you're not hypocritical, but when karma comes knocking on your head, you'd better not run!]

[Huanlong: @All Golden Descendants, what should we do? Your allies aren't as reliable as you think. If Changyeyue's "mercy" moves them... Hmph, think it over carefully.]

[Black Tower: Ha, quite a few demons and monsters have arrived. Even the Great Lord of Annihilation is in the group?]

[Cerudela: Illusion, is it? Haha, that's a good thing. Changyeyue's willingness to make an exception for the train crew might actually be a weakness in her heart, or even a breakthrough point for her to be won over!]

[Yao Guang: Oh wow? What a strategic mindset! However, Chang Yeyue's patience is truly unexpected. To ensure a flawless journey for March 7th, she even tolerated Dan Heng's "vicious" words? Or perhaps... besides March 7th, the most important person to her, she also envies the leisurely life on the train, and even harbors some subtle longing for the recognition of her companions?]

[Phantom Photo: Huh? That makes sense. Yandere is, in a way, a form of tsundere!]

[Long Night Moon: Hmph~~ Do I look like someone with worldly desires?]

[False image: The arrogant one always says they don't have it.]

[Long Night Moon: ...It seems your life is still too comfortable.]

The moon in the long night spreads out its hands, like scales, weighing lives of unequal value: "On one side are your companions who share the same boat: they fight desperately for a 1% chance of winning. But if you choose that 1%, whatever the outcome, it will be accompanied by enormous sacrifices."

"On the other side is a simple button: [Forget] will burn away all traces of their existence, all your memories of this journey. But it can abruptly halt a brewing catastrophe, saving the universe from [destruction]."

"The people who will be sacrificed will be fully informed of the decisions you make, without any concealment or deception..."

This time, she didn't choose to lure them with benefits. The train crew were a group of oddballs who didn't care about calculating profits but valued morality extremely highly, which would only cause resentment.

She simply pushed the problem directly into the hands of the two of them. In doing so, she also truly revealed her true feelings for the first time.

She may have been indifferent to those lives that were none of her concern, but did she really not try to save them? Did she really want to distort the wishes of March 7th and disregard a truly perfect outcome?

of course not!

On this binary scale, how could she dare to gamble on that 1%? So, she made her choice.

She said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what would you choose?"

"..." Xing's eyes flickered with confusion.

Chang Yeyue's words were incredibly insightful. This kind of debate doesn't even count; no matter how you look at it, they're the losers.

Damn it, that Black Seven is really troublesome.

"Why only 1%?"

Fortunately, although she didn't understand philosophy, she was proficient in debating skills: personal attacks, changing the subject, nitpicking, and sophistry.

Of course, it's not entirely baseless speculation. Where did this 1% come from out of thin air? That probability is simply Chang Yeyue's sensationalism.

If you succeed, everything can be 100% successful. On the other hand, if you don't even dare to try, your success rate in going to the toilet is 0!

"Haha." Chang Yeyue laughed, but she was not at all pressured.

"You're right. This choice is meaningless and unimportant. The only interesting thing is..."

With a wave of her hand, she stirred up the space like ripples on water.

Dan Heng, who had remained silent in one position for a long time, suddenly disappeared before Xing's eyes!

"It's the number of people who made the choice."

"At the same time..." Changyeyue explained, "I asked Danheng the same question. The answer is irrelevant; let me see—is the spirit of [Pioneering] truly as unified as you claim?"

"Now, prove it to me!"

A crimson tide of memories enveloped Xing, and Changyeyue's voice remained calm, yet immense pressure was already sweeping in.

[Star: Teacher Danheng! How come you suddenly... disappeared?! I thought you dared to bring me to block Changyeyue's door because you had all your hidden backup power, but how come you were instantly killed? And this situation doesn't seem like you're giving me a free choice, but rather like you're going to use some underhanded methods?]

[Yao Guang: That's not all! This Hei Qi Qi is really clever. Besides the trolley problem, she's added a prisoner's dilemma on top of that. After all, once you're isolated, you lose the ability to warn each other, so "the other person might confess" becomes a possibility. Once this idea is amplified, it easily slides into "Since he's already confessed, there's no point in me resisting." A lot of information is extracted from prisoners in this way. I must say, she's very shrewd!]

[Black Tower: Moreover, besides the moral pressure, Changyeyue doesn't seem to mind using some small methods to help you "come to your senses."]

[Star: What should I do then? In this situation, what I choose is basically meaningless, right?]

[Fireworks: Probably not~~ Ultimately, if you can't win, it's pointless. Only a strong fist can prevail.]

[Huanlong: Changye Yue has the victory in her grasp. To avoid this outcome… Hmph, it'll be hard to undo what's done to the people of the Starry Sky Train. Or perhaps, Akevili's retinue, why not nip the "crisis-maker" in the bud before all this happens?]

[Dan Heng: Get lost. Why pretend to be considerate of others?]

Chang Yeyue approached slowly with a half-smile, while Xingze's gaze wandered.

The rapidly deteriorating situation made it impossible for her not to be afraid.

Damn it, now we're just feeding the enemy!

"Wait a minute—!" A burst of pink light appeared, and Mimi made a dazzling entrance.

"Xi Lian?" Xing's eyes lit up.

"Ugh...ugh..." Xi Lian gasped for breath, but proudly puffed out her little chest: "The thrilling 'hero saves the damsel in distress'...is happening again!"

[March 7th: So, who is the hero and who is the beauty?]

[Star: Who cares? Let heroes save heroes, and beauties save beauties! Go for it, pink-haired vicious dog teacher!]

Chang Yeyue was quite indifferent to this unexpected troublemaker: "Do you still think you can do anything? Little Pink Memory Spirit?"

"Besides your fairly eloquent tongue, what weapons do you have to contend with me?"

It's not like we haven't fought before. Xi Lian did her best back then, but all she did was buy Sunday a little more time.

Xi Lian said seriously, "Don't underestimate me, okay? Besides my eloquence and charm—"

Before she could finish speaking about what she relied on, she suddenly changed the subject and wrote a spell with her quill pen in a split second.

"—Stirring up ripples from the past!"

[Fireworks: Launched a sneak attack? You guys seem to have no sportsmanship at all.]
