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

—[Next up: "To Kill a Mockingbird"]

[Star: Ouch... What an aggressive title. Wait, is the Japanese guy going to turn into an Angry Bird and suddenly crash into the ground and go on a killing spree?]

[Sunday: Haha, how could that be? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor!]

On Sunday, his expression was stern. Although he knew perfectly well that his sister was safe and sound, just seeing that line of text made him feel physically uncomfortable all over!

A violent emotion was rising within him.

[Fireworks: Haha, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving...]

[Star: You can't leave! It's finally my turn to see you make a fool of yourself, hehehe...]

As the light screen illuminated, after the VIP passengers on the Star Train successfully achieved their dream, the Robin immediately saw through the frantic state beneath her brother's calm exterior.

Even though her strength inexplicably weakened, she was still determined to help her brother.

"There seems to be a faint discordant sound nearby."

Following the uneven musical notes, she spotted a figure in the distance—a firefly.

"Is it...her?"

Liu Ying raised her eyebrows and argued vehemently with the hunting dogs. Suddenly, after spotting a figure, her eyes lit up, and ignoring the dogs' scrutiny, she hurried over.

The skilled hound family members were dumbfounded; it was the first time they had ever seen a suspect who disregarded them so much.

"Don't even think about running! You illegal immigrant!"

Firefly ran to Xing, who looked completely bewildered, and cowered, her voice sweet and delicate, evoking pity: "N-I'm so sorry! Please help me..."

[March 7th: Uh...]

It's a bit hard to keep this up. Is this how Miss Firefly is in front of Star?

[Bluebird: This isn't just somewhat similar to the previous "most severe mother of the swarm" with her invincible expression; it's completely unrelated.]

[Silver Wolf: Hiss~~ You, you acted really well.]

Yes, it perfectly fits the "delicate and helpless" persona, it's almost perfect. But in front of people you know well, this kind of strained voice really sends chills down your spine.

It looks so out of place!

Just like when Ah Ren saw her playing games day and night like crazy, he not only didn't urge her, but even came over with a big smile and asked her how the battle was going, whether she had beaten the opponent to a pulp, and encouraged her to do well. It was especially creepy!

[Star: What's wrong? Let me help you. Protecting beautiful girls is my duty!]

The star in the light screen stood with his hands on his hips, his expression saying, "I've finally waited for this day."

"What's wrong? Let me help you. Protecting a beautiful girl is my duty!"

[March 7th: ...You really haven't forgotten your roots. Even though you know the truth, you can still resonate with yourself in the light screen?]

[Star: So what if I know the truth? I'm willing to be lied to by her!]

[March 7th: ...You're hopeless. If it weren't for Miss Firefly, you would definitely have been completely swindled out of everything.]

[Silver Wolf: To be honest, you're not just lusting after her, are you?]

[Xing: Nonsense, it's because we're on the same wavelength, we hit it off immediately!]

[Firefly: That's right.]

[Xi Lian: Wow~~ What a touching friendship~~]

Silver Wolf: ...Fine, the meat's already rotting in the pot anyway.

The skilled hunting dog barked, "Guys, she has accomplices!"

The ferocious hunting dog was practically laughing in anger: "Perfect! Take them all down!"

A robin in a distant corner seemed to be thinking: "Smugglers...it seems it's not a coincidence. The hound, like me, also caught that slight noise."

After much deliberation, she chose to remain an observer: "Perhaps... I'll stay out of it for now. If that girl really is an outsider, this could be an opportunity for me."

Xing shielded the delicate and beautiful girl behind him, and without thinking twice, he was about to wrestle with the hunting dogs.

Just as the battle was about to break out, a casual, deep voice interrupted: "Alright, alright, kids—that's enough."

Gallagher's gaze swept over the fireflies, and his expression changed slightly.

Behind Xing, in a place she couldn't see, Liu Ying noticed strange gazes and her expression tightened slightly.

"Sir?" the hound cried out in terror. He hadn't expected to encounter him in such a place, much less that he would be personally stopped by him.

Gallagher snapped, "What kind of work are you doing? Open your eyes and look! Is this the illegal immigrant we're looking for?"

"Huh, who...who is this person?" The female hound was completely bewildered by the harsh reprimand.

The hunting dog beside him stared wide-eyed, as if looking at a caveman: "You don't know? Brown hair, gray vest—this is the sheriff the family sent to guard the Harmonious Music Ceremony!"

[Star: Yes, he is one of the fifty sheriffs sent by the family.]

[Fireworks: Fifty people sharing one salary, the family is making a killing, right?]

The female hunting dog suddenly realized, "That seems to be true."

"Oh, I see... Reporting, sir, we're apprehending a stowaway—it's this little girl, she's very suspicious, it must be her!"

Gallagher said with exasperation, "Bullshit. Take a good look! The eyewitness report says it was a silver-haired guy, and you're grabbing a silver-haired girl? Are they even the same person? And she even got into a fight with a customer?!"

"Alright, get out of here. Let me handle this."

[Qingque: Pfft~~]

Many people in the Milky Way couldn't help but chuckle. Could they be the same thing? They really are the same thing!

[Fireworks: Those two hunting dogs were unfairly scolded.]

[Zefier: Gallagher, you guys didn't plan this, did you?]

[Gallach: How could that be? I just have some discernment when it comes to people.]

[Bluebird: That's obvious. Add to that the robin lurking in the shadows, and the representatives of all the "rebel" forces are almost complete...]

[March 7th: So, Miss Firefly ultimately chose to raid the Daydream Hotel with Sam? All those dream bugs were killed for nothing?]

[Feixiao: I told you, firepower reconnaissance and armed infiltration, though simple, are indeed effective!]

After the hounds left, Gallagher sincerely apologized to the two men, explaining that the hounds also had their difficulties: "We received a notification that some criminals had infiltrated Pinocchio under the guise of the grand event. It's right before the Harmony Festival, and there are quite a few people with ulterior motives..."

"Ah..." Upon hearing "someone with ulterior motives," Liu Ying's face turned pale, and she shrank back in fear, her two round legs slightly turned inward. Her timidity and naivety were evident.

Gallagher immediately reassured her, "Don't worry, miss. I believe it's a misunderstanding. How could such a lovely girl be a stowaway?"

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely and gratefully, "...Thank you. I really don't know what I would have done without your help."

Gallagher chuckled, "No problem. I have to go now. If you need anything, just ask the nearby puppy to contact me. Enjoy your dreams."

Having said that, he left with a sense of relief.

Everyone else walked away, and Firefly showered Xing with praise, her enthusiasm far surpassing that for Gallagher: "Thanks to your help just now! Otherwise, I might really have... been captured."

[Qingque: That pause was the perfect touch.]
