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

[Star: Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be SSS on the Blacklist?]

[March 7th: No, what are you disappointed about?]

You've gotten so carried away since joining the train crew on Sunday! Before, you were always getting bullied until you were a crying raccoon, yelling about friendship and bonds until you finally managed to take one down. And now you're actually looking forward to it?

[Dan Heng: In a sense, her feelings are understandable, but it's definitely best if this doesn't happen.]

Jingyuan: I understand...

Jing Yuan thought to himself: You're interpreting this like the Jade Sign Alliance, aren't you? Holding onto it is too hot to handle, and you're only happy when you're not using it, right? Is this the usual style of the Starry Sky Train?

[Yao Guang: Fireflies, pioneers, it seems they're still closely related to our beloved little raccoon?]

[Star: Of course! What do you mean, "My brother from the final chapters personally selected me as the protagonist"?]

[Hanabi: Is this going to be another mystery? My lovely Hanabi doesn't want to be seen as the murderer again... although I really was the murderer last time.]

The light curtain slowly unfolded, and in the pitch-black hibernation pod, the scattered lights formed by various instrument lights barely illuminated the girl's face.

The young and beautiful girl had a black and green hairband wrapped around her silver hair, but her face showed a deep and visceral weariness.

[Star: Fireflies?]

[Firefly: Is it me this time?]

[Silver Wolf: Oh ho, it really is. This time the title is the complete opposite of Sunday's, surprisingly easy to guess.]

[Black Tower: Is this what they call entropy loss syndrome?]

[March 7th: Does Lady Black Tower have a solution?]

[Black Tower: It's hard to say. Our initial assessment is that this so-called "symptom" is related to fate. More specifically, unless we conduct actual experiments, it's difficult to draw any further detailed conclusions.]

[Star: Hiss, I remember Silver Wolf said she would experience three deaths. So, according to the message... she definitely succeeded, right?]

She suddenly remembered that everything about the old Japanese had been broadcast clearly, but after the firefly broke the original dream and sent her to the battlefield, she disappeared without a trace.

She was initially a little worried, but now it seems she must be involved in other big projects! Isn't this a perfect example of smooth sailing?

[Silver Wolf: Well... I guess so?]

She glanced at Elio silently.

It wasn't written that clearly in the script.

……

Liu Ying gently stroked the cracked cover of the hibernation pod. According to the plan, she should have already infiltrated the Twelve Hours.

"This...is this a dream?"

She said disappointedly, "I can't see anything. I can't hear anything. There's nothing but darkness."

"I don't understand... why people would linger in this darkness."

The lights suddenly came on, illuminating her iridescent eyes, but at the same time, a sharp pain flashed through every muscle.

"Well……"

[Black Tower: Darkness in dreams? Is it due to her illness, or has she unexpectedly seen through the essence of nothingness?]

[Star: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! This hibernation pod isn't hibernating at all, how can anyone sleep in this?]

[Firefly: Star! Are you alright? Does it still hurt? Let's disconnect our sensory synchronization right away.]

[Silver Wolf: If you're in this much pain all the time, then naturally you'll wish you could fall asleep.]

[Undying Path: You're right. Tsk, they're all... are all Star Core Hunters using such good equipment? Why can't I use a cheap version of my hibernation pod...?]

[Narrator: "The budget version" is already doing quite well if it can afford the electricity bill.]

Silver Wolf warned in a deep voice, "Don't move around, it will hurt a lot."

Liu Ying's voice was low and delicate: "Is the surgery over?"

Silver Wolf said regretfully, "Yes, as expected, you can't regain your dreaming ability."

However... in terms of the mission requirements alone, she succeeded.

Silver Wolf felt sorry for her sacrifices, but he had to be blunt: "Even with all that sacrifice, you only get one chance."

The firefly's breath was faint, but it was content: "It's alright. Once... is enough."

[Star: This voice...it breaks my heart. Yingbao, you're so strong.]

[March 7th: I never imagined that Miss Firefly, who fought alongside us, would be so reliable, but outside of the dream she's already like this...]

[Qingque: Is this also caused by entropy loss syndrome? What exactly is this strange illness? Shouldn't one dream about what they think about during the day?]

[Silver Wolf: Who knows how the Republic of Grammer developed this technology? It's incredibly troublesome.]

[Sunday: Even with her body so broken, is she still determined to enter the dream world? She is indeed an undisputed powerhouse.]

[Jingyuan: The fact that she can continue to move forward despite this state shows how deep her obsession is; she truly deserves to be someone who can debate the issue of a seven-day weekend on Sunday.]

Firefly asked, "Is there anything else I need to do?"

"As long as he doesn't die." Silver Wolf gritted her teeth, silently comforting herself that Elio's script was always flawless, otherwise she was really afraid that Firefly would close her eyes forever in front of her.

"Take a breath. Once the setup is complete, I'll officially let you [enter the dream]."

Ignoring Silver Wolf's admonition, Firefly's eyes were filled with longing, and even her voice had a bit more strength: "Then, I can enter that [Land of Dreams (Pinocconny)]."

Silver Wolf pursed his lips: "Don't get your hopes up too high, it's just a nickname. Your dream may not come true."

"...I've been waiting for this day. People always describe it like this: once you wake up, it vanishes without a trace, which is why beautiful dreams are so precious."

When people talk about their beautiful dreams, they are always filled with longing. Liu Ying always remembered that look, but she could only envy it and could not empathize with it.

Silver Wolf was equally unmoved: "It just sounds like self-comfort."

"Perhaps. But..." A lingering light shone in Firefly's eyes: "When the day comes that we meet again, I think... I will pretend we've never met before, get to know you all over again, and start everything anew."

"I made a promise with her. Our reunion is just around the corner. I have no reason not to do my best."

The anticipation and happiness in her voice were palpable, and she seemed oblivious to even the constraints of life.

[March 7th: The person she's talking about isn't...]

[Xi Lian: Oh~~]

"Oh~~"

Xi Lian smiled faintly, San Yueqi's eyebrows furrowed in surprise, Dan Heng nodded, and Walter and Himeko smiled slightly. The five of them turned their heads meaningfully and fixed their gazes on Xing.

Does this need to be said?

The person who haunted Liu Ying's dreams, and who even when she was on the verge of death, was still foolishly rehearsing their reunion in her mind, was none other than Xing.

Xing looked at the gathered gazes, sighed, and shook her head, saying, "Alas, I am such a sinful woman. This damned charm."

[Star: But baby, let's focus on getting better first.]

[Xi Lian: To be so sincere and deeply in love... Hmph, I really want to know just how captivating my partner's methods were back then♪]

[Hanabi: Tsk tsk tsk, you heartless little gray-haired girl. You only lost all your memories, and you've already forgotten about her?]
