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

The robin looked at the temporary team that had been cooperating well, which had suddenly turned into a mini werewolf game, its eyes full of confusion and innocence, completely not understanding what had happened.

How come I haven't even had a chance to deal with the trust issue myself, but the other team has already broken down?

Our partners are just too...naive.

"Who...who are you people?"

[Star: Good heavens. The little bird has stumbled into a god-like situation; it's weak, pitiful, and helpless.]

[Fireworks: What if the dahlia accidentally hurts the robin at this moment...]

Sambo: It's alright. Fireworks "murdered" a robin and nothing happened, so what's a little thing like this with a dahlia?

[Fireworks: Hey, Sambo, there's a limit to kicking someone when they're down, isn't there?]

Black Swan sneered, "She's just a fiend who took advantage of the situation to manipulate memories and pretend to be a Star Core Hunter. You've all been fooled by her."

The robin asked worriedly, "Where's Miss Firefly? Is she alright?"

"She might get lost in the turbulent currents of the memory realm, but don't worry, she's someone important, she'll only be temporarily trapped." Black Swan was confident, indicating that she didn't need to worry, he was there for her.

"I've come to take you back to the Oak family line—Mr. Sunday was very worried about your safety, and he entrusted me to find you in a dream."

[Fireworks: He could have easily scooped the robin back. But to avoid making everyone despair, he chose to hang it up. I'm so heartbroken.]

Then, the black swan looked at the "instigator" of all this and said with certainty.

"As for this Dahlia, she is absolutely untrustworthy. To be able to retrieve a specific history from the memory domain using only a single memory... There may be memory users who can do this, but they are definitely not just Destiny Walkers."

[March 7th: Huh? It's not just the Fate Walker... Does that mean Dahlia is also a Pure Child?! No wonder, I was wondering why she used Tirnan's grave as a medium to find the Dreamer and AR-214, and then used the robin to uncover the Dreamer's secrets—it was all too far-fetched. I'm starting to wonder if she could find some secret just by giving her a picture.]

[Fireworks: Has the "No orders for non-commissioned personnel" buff been triggered again?]

[Hoshi: But... her? Kiyoko?]

Xing looked the dahlia up and down, admiring its graceful figure and alluring charm.

[Star: This Kiyoko isn't exactly pure either. She exudes an aura of "evil" from head to toe, and it's particularly evil, immensely evil!]

[Changye Yue: Wulou Jingzi? Ha, if I had been the one who attacked Yonghuo Mansion that day, she wouldn't even have had a chance to escape.]

[Yao Guang: Since the professionals have said so, does that mean this Ms. Dahlia has other favorable influences in her destiny?]

[Qingque: Is this the benefit of changing jobs frequently?]

"Heh, looks like you've been watching for a long time." Dahlia put one hand on her hip, her eyes meaningful. "But just when we were about to make progress, you arrived—who's the untrustworthy one?"

A faint smile played on Dahlia's lips. Thanks to her habit of hiding her true self and her fondness for spying, stirring up trouble wouldn't be difficult for her.

The Black Swan was unfazed by her counter-accusation, a smug smile spreading across her face: "No need for excuses. I brought a message from Mr. Sunday, which is sufficient proof of my identity."

"...A mere message? Don't you find that a bit ridiculous?" Dahlia laughed first.

What's the difference between this and having no evidence at all? It would be more useful to just tamper with memories on the spot. Given the intelligence a robin displays, would she really be fooled by such a V50-like trick? It's utterly ridiculous.

"Try it and you'll see. It's only three words—" The Black Swan glanced at its old friend with a smile, then turned to the Robin and said solemnly, word by word, "Harmony Pigeon."

"!" The robin looked surprised, its eyes suddenly shining.

Black Swan was pleased with her reaction: "I don't know the details, but Mr. Sunday said you'll understand."

The robin nodded and smiled with relief: "Indeed, unless it's an extreme situation, that's enough to make me trust you."

Dahlia's smile came to an abrupt end.

[Fireworks: Pfft~~ Dahlia was completely dumbfounded. Is this even possible? Do these two siblings usually communicate using secret codes?]

[Yao Guang: However, it must be said that the Xie Le pigeon incident was indeed a significant event that changed the lives of the siblings, while to others it seemed quite insignificant. In fact, if it weren't for the light screen, we would probably also think that this trust came about in a truly absurd way.]

[Star: Do you think if you just blurted out "Your brother is a siscon" before the screen even went live, would that gain their trust?]

[Robin: No way. Because if you have little contact with your brother, it's hard not to notice; there are plenty of people who know.]

[Sunday: ...I don't think it's that easy to tell.]

[Black Swan: Hmph~ Darling, you look so ridiculous right now.]

[Dahlia: Hehe, just watch, whoever laughs last laughs best.]

"The company, the Star Train... and now you've even taken on the family's commission? Your popularity is really impressive." Dahlia suppressed her smile, emphasizing the word "popularity."

She crossed her arms, and beneath the large brim of her hat, her face turned grim and murderous.

"...But do you really want to court death?"

The scene unfolds as they search Huang Quan's room, and Dahlia recalls various past events.

"At that time, I not only kept Ms. Huang Quan's secret, but also left, sparing your life."

"What, you really want...to rekindle our past relationship?"

Black Swan also crossed her arms, her eyes slightly closed, looking exceptionally relaxed and carefree: "Who told you to be the dahlia? I'll see what kind of trouble you're going to cause this time."

"I've had this question for a long time..."

Her eyes snapped open, glaring like swords at the person she knew best, the person she knew to the bone: "[Slave of Fate], how could I possibly accept you, a person whose nature is to betray?"

[Star: It seems like they're competing against each other; the moment they show they value the other more, they lose.]

[Hanabi: That's how those awkward guys are. They keep pulling and tugging, pulling so hard they'll stretch their tongues until their eyes roll back, but they won't let go.]

[Qingque: Alas~~ How many star-crossed lovers are there in this Milky Way!]

[Black Swan: Don't insult me. I don't want to be associated with her, much less be ranked alongside her.]

[Dahlia: I think it's quite fitting. And... hehe, you can't escape. I believe that soon our names will be indistinguishable; mentioning one will involuntarily bring the other into people's minds.]

[Star: Hmm... Is he really that much of a yandere? I feel like there's an endless stream of gossip waiting for me.]

Watching the two engage in their verbal sparring, the robin finally found a way to interject: "What about the Star Core Hunter? What's going on with that?"

Black Swan said, "Let's go back to a safe place first, and then we can talk slowly. She's too dangerous; we shouldn't let our guard down."

The robin pondered for a moment. In her current state, it would indeed be difficult for her not to become a burden once the war started.

"...Thank you." With that, she decisively left.

The black swan then went to greet the dahlia.
