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

Dahlia's voice was calm and unhurried as she countered Black Swan's question: "How aggressive of you. Have you already lost your footing, or have you guessed something? And what could be the purpose of Constantine's visit to [Eternal Flame Mansion]?"

Black Swan chuckled lightly, seizing on her weakness: "That's precisely your flaw, you unfamiliar incinerator—the Annihilation Gang is accustomed to showing your face in public, and its members are never mysterious. And Grand Duke of the Underworld has never had a child named Constance."

[Star: Good heavens, so that means Dahlia might not have joined the Eternal Flame Mansion for very long, and might even have infiltrated Pinocchio on short notice to forcibly alter the memories of Grand Duke Darkfire and everyone else? Making them mistakenly believe they were allies? And the reason Black Swan didn't recognize her immediately was because Constance, which sounds like a proper name, was a fake, and Dahlia was her real name?]

[March 7th: What was that line from the card game again? Oh right, if you don't abandon me, I'm willing to become your godfather!]

[Potio: And then? The following lines seem to be something like, "A real man... a woman living between heaven and earth, how can she remain subservient to others for long?"]

[Black Swan: That's pretty much the process.]

[Fireworks: Tsk tsk tsk, poor Affleck, running into two nemesis at once, and both of them are after his tickets.]

[Qingque: Sigh... The life of the Grand Duke, manipulated like this. So pitiful.]

[Sai Fei'er: But it seems Dahlia's luck is just as bad. She went through all that trouble to infiltrate Yonghuo Mansion, acting and calling him "Daddy," and guess what? Huang Quan came crashing down on her right before she left! He intercepted her with a couple of blows.]

[Star: Sigh~ Super intelligence is still not as useful as super strength.]

The Black Swan remained furious. She had almost been manipulated. She wanted to see who was really playing tricks here.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Dahlia's voice suddenly came from afar, seemingly from a thousand miles away, and was right in front of me.

The black swan glanced slightly behind her. Even without seeing her directly, one could easily imagine—

Beneath the brim of her hat, a pair of familiar yet repulsive eyes, gleaming with an eerie red light, suddenly appeared behind her!

"What if... I'm just too fickle and can't help but betray anyone?"

The black swan turned around and subtly took a half-step back. She knew this person all too well! But how could she possibly be here?

"That's impossible. The Antimatter Legion has been looking for her (Dahlia) all along."

Dahlia rested her chin on her hand, her teasing gaze towards Black Swan carrying a deeper meaning: "Aren't you the same? To erase me, Flowing Light Memory Court pursued me fourteen times, and the last time, I clearly died right in front of you, didn't I?"

Her smile remained, but a chilling aura emanated from her.

The black swan took a deep breath: "It really is you..."

Ring ring ring!!

The urgent ringing of the telephone interrupted their ears.

Black Swan: "Hmm?"

Dahlia was quite displeased with the person on the other end of the phone: "Ugh~~ Interrupting someone's reminiscing is really rude. But please, go ahead—"

She swaggered away: "After this, we'll have a proper talk about your ingratitude, dear [fellow inmate]."

[Star: Hiss~ Holy crap... Judging from what they're saying, the prison goose and the prison flower were once in cahoots? But the black swan abandoned the darkness and went to the Memory Court, even participating in the hunt for the dahlia?]

[Chang Ye Yue: But it's obvious that every single one of Yi Ting's guys, aside from their ability to gather a mob to hunt down enemies, is utterly incompetent. Not a single one of them had their memories altered by Dahlia, making them think they've perfectly completed their mission, allowing her to remain free to this day. Ha, if I were there, they wouldn't have been so lucky; they'd be on both sides.]

[Fireworks: Now Dahlia is back in full force, facing her former friend who betrayed her... Hehehe, will Black Goose be tortured to the point of ecstasy and become Dahlia's drooling toy?]

[Black Swan: Hiss...]

The black swan meme's body hair stood on end. Although they were an undisputed team when facing Sunday, now that the biggest crisis has passed, who knows what will happen next.

Of course, her fighting strength is about equal to his own; in a direct confrontation, she wouldn't be able to overpower him. But what if she took advantage of his unpreparedness and resorted to underhanded tactics…

[Himeko: Dahlia... Judging from Black Swan's words, she also defected from the Antimatter Legion?]

[Sai Fei'er: Wow~~ Not only does she dare to rebel against the world's largest evil force, but she even actively deviates from her destiny? That's ruthless.]

The bell rang.

The black swan remained oblivious, watching the dahlia disappear in the blue flames, its heart filled with unease.

I had a feeling that there was something unusual about her aura.

The light screen went black, but then quickly lit up again.

This time, however, it was accompanied by a purple floral border that usually only appeared before the true ending.

Dahlia sat gracefully behind the table, looking at Xing with a ladylike air: "Hmm? Your expression is a little strange. Before this moment, I always felt nervous about it—always worried that you would think I was a little scary."

Xing warily sized up the gentle-faced lady in front of her who was "kindly" reminiscing about the past for her.

"You were involved in the operation too?"

Dahlia nodded: "Of course, everything about Pinocone is more important than you think. The Star Core Hunters have to invest so much effort to avoid other disastrous outcomes."

[Silver Wolf: Don't talk like you're a Star Core Hunter. Don't even try to get involved, okay?]

[Star: Seriously, did Black Swan really escape unscathed, search Huang Quan's house, and leave peacefully? This... this can't be right, can it? Is this really the same Black Swan I know? This is a complete character-breaking and mind-blowing reversal!]

The people in the Milky Way frowned, stamping their feet and beating their chests.

"No, that's not how you play the prison goose! She should get a little taste of success right away, then immediately suffer a crushing defeat, triggering a special CG! I don't accept that!"

[Black Swan: You are being rather impolite.]

Xing Huanbao crossed his arms and said expressionlessly, "It is quite terrifying."

The dahlia-adorned right hand gently rose, gracefully resting against her chin, and leaned forward slightly.

Although the table obscured most of her figure, her movements, even with just her upper body, were enough to outline her alluring curves.

Her eyes gleamed with a peachy light as she provocatively said, "If you're willing and able to handle it... I could certainly do it all. Or perhaps..."

Would you rather enjoy my double standards?

[Pinocchio bystander: This feeling...it's so wicked, yet so gentle! Damn it. She understands me so well...oh no, I'm falling for her!]

[Black Swan: Control your emotions. If you fall for her, your life will be as tragic as that of the Grand Duke of Hellfire.]

[Firefly: If you're going to unlock the memories, then unlock them. Why get so close?]

[Sai Fei'er: Yes, yes, we have to separate her from Hui Zi!]

[Firefly: ...]
