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

The atmosphere in the chat group became quite strange for a moment.

[Fireworks: She even considered asking a staff member... How about having the Soda Dog register her? I just don't know if it can write.]

[Star: So, when we went to great lengths, exhausted all our connections, and risked our lives to infiltrate Mikhail's former residence and Mianmian's doghouse to gather intelligence, Huang Quan somehow ended up here by getting lost?]

[Huang Quan: Hmm... I think so.]

[The Path to Immortality: The True Evil Path of Nothingness.]

"You two have arrived at the perfect time. This dream world is fraught with danger. Since we share the same goal, why don't we travel together?"

Huang Quan's calm tone was laced with absolute confidence: "I can protect you from harm. In the Memory Realm, I also need the assistance of those who remember, and... if we encounter the family, having one more person means having one more explanation."

"This..." The Black Swan's rationality and sensibility slapped each other in the face.

Huang Quan was undoubtedly strong and reliable, but her psychological trauma still made her instinctively resist. After a moment's thought, she gave up thinking and left the decision entirely to Xing.

What do you think?

Xing shook her head and said righteously, "No, absolutely not!"

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it?" Huang Quan blinked and put one hand on his hip.

Xing's voice rose three octaves: "What I mean is, no."

Huang Quan looked dazed and replied mechanically, "Oh, sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it?"

Xing looked puzzled, but a voice kept echoing in her mind: "What I mean is, it's okay."

She uttered those words as if possessed.

Huang Quan was satisfied and said sincerely, "Thank you, Xing... I'm really grateful."

She was desperate too; who knew that after randomly investigating some ghost stories on the street, she would inexplicably end up here. Now, she finally found a "backer."

She also added to the Black Swan, "It's a pleasure to travel with you again, Miss Black Swan."

Black Swan's expression was indescribably strange: "Hmm... I hope so."

The suggestion to travel together ended pleasantly, but outside the screen, everyone could clearly see Xing's various thoughts, displayed as dialogue options. Huang Quan kept asking questions until Xing ran out of words, and even... the last answer was highlighted in red!

[Star: I... had no choice.]

[Qingque: I never would have guessed, Miss Huangquan is such a genius at playing dumb! She keeps asking even when the other party disagrees, right? It feels like if she keeps insisting no, she'll be stroking her knife while subtly telling them to repeat themselves.]

[Feiying: Huh? So she's this kind of scheming type?]

[Black Swan: No, it's not that simple! See that string of red text? It exudes a profound and unique aura.]

[March 7th: What do you mean? You mean Miss Huang Quan can also manipulate memories, and that she used her power to bewitch Xing and manipulate her into agreeing to be companions?!]

[Fireworks: Who? Huang Quan? She's manipulating memories? Someone who can't even recognize a road is manipulating other people's memories? It's more like she's using violence to coerce them.]

[Sunday: Indeed, Ms. Huang Quan's thoughts are quite simple, but the influence of that statement is not entirely unfounded. Now, there's nothing left to hide. Remember how this was a grand dream? Everyone's dreams are different, inevitably leading to some discord and disharmony. And this is probably the result of the dream forcibly smoothing out these minor flaws.]

[March 7th: I understand now, this is called...divine will!]

[Qingque: Wow, just like how slacking off was bound to happen, I suddenly felt like there was no way to resist it.]

[Star: Old man, your dream game has too many bugs. If you actually made it into a game, it would definitely get millions of hate comments from haters. Although... we can probably only deduce it afterward.]

Xing has a need for exploration, Black Swan can provide guidance, and Huang Quan has the strength and means. The three complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, forming a complete team.

From a secluded spot on the second floor, Liu Ying witnessed the entire scene, and the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted: "Thank goodness, she's alright..."

Dahlia, however, was not as optimistic: "Don't worry, there's a troublesome stranger here."

Liu Ying followed her gaze to Huang Quan, "She looks familiar, she is...."

Isn't this the woman who was cornered by the gangsters? She even complimented her on her beauty and tactfully made way for their date. Liu Ying had a pretty good impression of her.

Dahlia was slightly surprised: "Oh? You didn't know? If we disregard our positions, she's in more danger than the Dream Master."

"We should always be cautious when dealing with a messenger who walks in the void."

"The envoy of [Void]?! Was she mentioned in the [Script]?" A look of panic flashed across Liu Ying's face. This seemingly reckless woman actually had such a powerful background?

Dahlia shook her head. The reason she learned this information... had nothing to do with the script, or even with being meticulous; it was simply due to luck.

"No, if it weren't for the [murder of my father], I would hardly have known about this."

They came knocking on my door, but I was let off the hook like a little karaomi...

[Black Swan: A blood feud for killing your father? That indirectly means you probably have quite a few enemies.]

[Fireworks: Are you serious about being a "father"?]

[Star: You guys who believe in memory are all pragmatist strategists, right? Ask if a place is dangerous, and the answer is always to go scout it out. If you get attacked, it's dangerous; if you don't, it's not. We pioneers can roam around so freely; compared to you, we seem rather cautious.]

While the two were eavesdropping, Huang Quan revealed his suggestion to travel with them.

Liu Ying's expression changed drastically, her eyebrows sharp as knives: "Absolutely not, we have to separate her from Xing."

[Spark: Wow~~ Brave! Even braver than a black swan, whose general is this?]

[Star: Oh! Firefly is worried about me, she cares about me!]

[March 7th: Not that you're wrong... but you can't really say you're wrong either.]

[Qingque: I've seen plenty of simps, but this is the first time I've seen them fawning over each other so intensely.]

[Xu Zhao: Isn't this also a kind of mutual affection? And... if we take this sentence out of context... and interpret it as the main point about the main wife being jealous, that's even more interesting, don't you understand?]

[Pera: Oh right!]

[Xi Lian: This is a very interesting development~~]

[Star: ...Oh, let's look at the Yellow Springs in the distance. Ahem, um... just how brief was the script Eriol gave Firefly? How could she know nothing about such a key ally as the Yellow Springs?]

[Silver Wolf: That's how Eriol is. He won't write a single extra word if he feels it's enough, and it really is enough.]

[Hanabi: I'm quite curious to know how she's going to separate these two.]
