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

With a shift in the light screen, the filter and the painting melted away like snow, and the narrator's voice vanished completely.

In the pitch-black world, a cluster of blue flames suddenly ignited, and a woman dressed in snow-white robes emerged from it.

"...Don't be afraid, I caught you. How are you feeling?"

Within the crevices of the world of memories, the dahlia's pupils emitted an eerie peach-pink light, while the firefly sensed that those eyes possessed an inexplicable and convincing power.

As the world gradually brightened, they were able to safely return to the children's dreams.

"When you suddenly pass through the realm of memories, you always experience a moment of disorientation. That person who remembers you is not so simple-minded; she has the ability to send you all away, but she deliberately kept you here."

[Star: Hmm?]

Upon seeing the single word, the Black Swan paused, then quickly offered an explanation.

[Black Swan: Slander! What just happened was obvious to everyone. Sleepyhead and Miss Firefly jumped into the portal together. She didn't return to reality... unless she had a strong desire not to leave the dream. You all know what kind of person I am, right? Apart from coveting some interesting memories, what evil have I ever done? In fact... most of the time, even looking at memories occasionally puts me in danger...]

[Hanabi: Pfft~~ Indeed.]

The second half of Black Swan's words was truly heartfelt, enough to make anyone who heard it feel sad and anyone who saw it weep. But most people in the galaxy thought to themselves: Why do I feel like laughing?

[Star: Sigh... You've really suffered. But what about Firefly...]

[Silver Wolf: That's normal. I've already mentioned it before. She only has one chance to enter the dream world, and this time she even risked her life enduring immense pain to go in. If she returns empty-handed, how could she possibly accept that? Don't let her seemingly delicate appearance fool you; once she gets stubborn, even nine oxen would turn into jerky.]

[Firefly: Silver Wolf...!]

The peach-pink in Dahlia's eyes gradually faded, returning to its original purple.

Liu Ying blinked, her mind finally clearing from the daze.

She quickly asked, "What just happened?"

Dahlia said, "It's a memory realm meme. Some legends in Pinocchio mention it and call it 'death.' I noticed something unusual, but I didn't get a chance to see it clearly."

"But I saw it." Liu Ying clenched her small fists at her chest, her brows furrowed, and her pupils recalled that critical moment: "In the instant it was about to strike, the reflection of [another dream] appeared in its pupils. It was somewhat similar to the twelve o'clock scene, but the atmosphere was completely different."

"Death does not exist in dreams—what if this isn't a lie? So-called death is just a way to sink us deeper into a dream."

[Gallach: Absolutely right. This girl's insight is truly amazing.]

[Star: Amazing! In just a glance, at a life-or-death moment, you were able to glean such crucial information? Sand Gold caused such a commotion and even took a knife from the Yellow Springs to understand this. My Firefly only needed a glance! Amazing, my Firefly!]

[Firefly: It's just a little bit of reconnaissance instinct. With a different star, I'd definitely be able to do even better.]

[Gold Sand: Cough cough, I'm glad you still remember me, but you don't need to bring me along at a time like this, do you?]

Dahlia sighed briefly, "What a pity, a meddlesome reminiscer has come along. Next time we meet, leave her to me. I need to... let her enjoy a truly unforgettable time."

Liu Ying said with a hint of helplessness, "Every time you say that, it seems like you're the one who's enjoying it. This time, let's not go too far."

[Black Swan: Unforgettable, isn't it? Interesting. I don't recall you having any advantage over me. Little Star Core Hunter girl, even though it seems you've established a long-term partnership, even somewhat... intimate, I still have to remind you: the closer you are to her, the closer you are to betrayal. Be careful not to get eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind.]

[Dahlia: How dare they slander me like this? It's truly heartbreaking. I take everything I handle with utmost seriousness.]

[Yao Guang: Have you not seen what happened to Grand Duke Minghuo? Of course, if Ms. Dahlia is working for the infamous Annihilation Gang as an undercover agent for the Star Core Hunters, then that's a different story.]

[Silver Wolf: An undercover agent? According to Elio's script, we should be avoiding her like the plague. Anyone who gets too close to her will only cause trouble for crossing the End. Firefly, when did you get in touch with her?]

[Black Swan: Ha, I knew it, darling, you really never learn. Did you see the light in her eyes when she first appeared? She altered Firefly's perception, making Firefly mistake her for a collaborator! In reality… heh heh.]

[Star: Hmm? That's a bit unreasonable!]

[Dahlia: Darling, you're so ruthless. Don't be nervous, little guy from the Star Train. You saw the light screen earlier, we're allies after all, right? How could I resist participating in something so interesting? Modifying memories is just to make our cooperation smoother, nothing more.]

[Star: You'd better be.]

Firefly and dahlia discussed their next move.

After rejecting the proposal to temporarily return to reality, the dahlia brought more bad news.

"The commotion caused by the death was so great that even the omnipotent being in the dream (the dreamer) has turned his attention here."

Liu Ying's eyes widened: "Then wouldn't we be...?"

Dahlia shook her head with a relaxed expression: "Nothing will happen for the time being. [Death] is attracting his attention. As long as we are careful, we won't be exposed."

"even……"

"In this dream world, we have the opportunity to find a way to fight back against him."

"Well, before you arrived, I gathered some intelligence. As far as I know, he buried his darkest crimes here."

[Star: Hmm... It seems like Dahlia is actually quite reliable? They even managed to find out about something like this?]

[Black Swan: Here's the problem: how did she find out about something so secretive? Even if it was just a clue...]

[Dahlia: This... cough cough, darling, just because you don't have the ability doesn't mean others can't.]

Dahlia, true to her reputation as a professional memory seeker, guided fireflies through the dream world, effortlessly uncovering mysterious pathways hidden beneath seemingly normal scenes. Just as great figures' tombs always contain hidden chambers, many mysterious areas were unearthed one by one.

For example, right now, they found a "tomb" that had been personally concealed by the dream master. With a wave of the dahlia's claws, a dark blue vortex portal appeared before them.
