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

Is this on my side?

Liu Ying felt that Sai Fei'er had casually called her back.

But these are all minor details. What do you mean by enjoying double standards, and that... manipulative, wicked woman's attitude? Are you and Xing really that close?

Next time I see her, I must seriously and solemnly remind her what a sense of distance is.

Silver Wolf crossed her legs and looked at Firefly beside her, who was staring at the light screen with a pout, her face puffed up with anger and almost bursting with fur. She smiled faintly, leisurely picked up a bottle of the specially formulated nutritionally enhanced milk that Ren had repeatedly told her to drink, and silently began to drink it.

She really wanted to share the same hatred, but she just couldn't muster any motivation for it.

On the contrary, it is truly rare to see such a vibrant expression on Liu Ying's face.

Is this... a good thing?

……

Within the light screen, Xing tentatively asked, "Do you know the Black Swan?"

The relationship between these two seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

When Dahlia was traveling with Firefly, she didn't say a single good word about Black Swan; it was all mockery and disparagement... Of course, in retrospect, most of it was indeed true.

The threats they just made sound quite intimidating, but when a phone call came in, Dahlia just left without a word.

Is this the proper attitude towards a "good friend" who has betrayed you so cruelly? Isn't this showing far too much respect for her work?

What's with this strange feeling of pampering her, even though it's just for the sake of bullying her?

Dahlia nodded slightly. Unexpectedly, she made no attempt to hide anything and said frankly, "Yes, quite intimate. Don't misunderstand because of what I said back then."

She was very serious, more serious than ever before: "I've always believed that the moment two people are fighting to the death with daggers, pressing the tips of their knives against each other's necks, is more intimate than that of ordinary dance partners."

[Star: That's...that's incredibly close. It's practically a life-or-death bond, something Huang Quan's weak and powerless dance partner can't even compare to.]

[March 7th: That's true. Compared to dancing with the Yellow Springs, it's a little more thrilling, but at least there's no danger to one's life.]

[Hanabi: Tsk tsk, those two are playing pretty perverted games. Is this the tacit understanding between former...lesbians?]

[Black Swan: Fool, your punctuation skills are truly regrettable.]

[Firefly: Star, don't associate with such scheming people too often. When you're out and about, you must learn to protect yourself.]

[Star: Don't worry, I won't be led astray by her.]

[Dahlia: Oh dear, I've helped you so much, and you treat me like some kind of threat? How hurtful. I think we can share the inexhaustible passion within the star, can't we?]

[Firefly: ...We have no grudge against each other, and I don't want to use more direct methods to make you understand what boundaries are.]

[Xi Lian: Oh dear, we can't just pretend we didn't see this situation.]

[Star: Sigh... I'm such a sinful woman.]

Xing raised an eyebrow. The relationship between these two was too complicated; it was best not to get involved in their "cause and effect."

"No problem, let's continue."

Dahlia nodded: "Now, let's turn our gaze to a place where fates intersect—"

She briefly recounted what happened next: Sand Gold wagered three cornerstones and withstood two blows from the Underworld. And Robin learned from the inhabitants of Dream Reef the secret that had been hidden by her family.

Soon after, fireflies arrived, and with the help of dahlias, the three reunited and worked together to uncover the secrets of the dream master.

Unexpectedly, their next destination was the cenotaph of the previously unknown Tirnan.

Dahlia said leisurely, "This place holds the secrets our family tried to conceal, and a long and romantic story. Unfortunately, most of it is irrelevant to us."

The robin looked at the inscription on the stone tablet and solemnly stepped forward: "Boreklin Tirnan... I remember that name. A respectable seafaring knight-errant, who risked his life to protect Pinocchio's dream when it was plagued by insects in history."

Firefly stood beside her: "This is why we had to come here. We suspect that after betraying her family, the Dream Master has turned to reproduction."

The robin's pupils suddenly contracted: "...How is this possible?"

[Yao Guang: The inference is incorrect, but at that time, who could have imagined that the dreamer would be so audacious as to want to use the insect swarm? And Sunday was even bolder, even order was only a second-best option.]

[Star: This is too difficult! Why are all the guys we're running into these kinds of people who go through all sorts of complicated schemes?!]

[Sambo: That's a good point. Foehn Wind probably isn't the type to play dirty tricks, but do you?]

[Star: ...Then let's have someone who uses scheming and trickery.]

Dahlia briefly explained her purpose: "The so-called history has long since passed, but people's memories remain in the realm of recollection..."

"If we can find the method, we can penetrate time and retrieve the past from the chaos." She raised her hand covered with sharp claws, and the sky suddenly turned dark, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Suddenly, images of the two appeared in front of the three people.

A middle-aged man dressed in black with a gold ring and round glasses, with a refined and scholarly air—Dream Master Gofemu!

Before him lay the dilapidated, dying iron cavalry.

The robin sensed a familiar aura: "This is... memory essence?"

When Liu Ying saw the familiar figure, a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes. She roughly guessed what had happened to her former comrade-in-arms.

"Every catastrophe caused by the swarm is accompanied by countless sacrifices. Some names are remembered, but others... are not only forgotten, but also betrayed."

[Star: Wait, does that mean... that Iron Rider can also be considered one of the founders of Pinocchio?!]

[Robin: Is that even possible?]

At least the deeds of the three nameless travelers were altered and preserved, but this Iron Cavalryman was as if he had never been there at all. Even based on the previous information displayed on the screen, she only assumed that this Iron Cavalryman had wandered here and was then silently wiped out.

Unexpectedly, she was a meritorious person who was erased from history.

What exactly happened between the family and Mr. Gopher Wood?

Are they so fascinated by power?

……

AR-214 lay on the ground, weak and exhausted, staring in disbelief at the man who had attacked her from behind.

"What...are you doing...I'm not your enemy..."

Gopher Wood clasped his hands together over his lower abdomen and sighed repeatedly: "Indeed, whether it's you or me, the only enemy is that hateful fate."

AR-214 gritted her teeth, her grievances coalescing into a series of questions: "Then why...why..."
