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

Liu Ying frowned slightly: "...A partner?"

Hanabi's eyes widened: "You haven't realized yet? That Memory Maker has already betrayed you once!"

"Ah!" she exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated and affected manner, almost breaking her voice.

"No way... Silver Wolf has never mentioned me even once?"

"But she invited me to join her. The family's omniscience and omnipotence in her dreams were information I gathered. Are you trying to renege on your promise?"

Fireworks' voice deepened several degrees, proving herself while simultaneously expressing strong moral condemnation of the hunter's business reputation. It was hard to tell whether she was being genuine or putting on an act.

"Your information..." Liu Ying blinked, her brows furrowing slightly.

She thought to herself, "With Kafka's [Word of Power], my perception shouldn't be able to be altered. Could it be that things are different after entering the dream?"

[Star: It's probably because Dahlia has the Dream Lord's decree, and it hasn't kept up with the version buffs. But how did Silver Wolf get involved with Fireworks?]

[Qingque: Is this the Four-Foot Sanctuary? We seem to be the same kind of people?]

[Silver Wolf: What four-foot sanctuary? I'm acquainted with Hanabi. Once, when she was livestreaming in her costume, I hacked into her stream and secretly separated the viewers and the streamer in the program, then added two AIs. The viewers on one side only saw and heard the AI ​​streamer's antics; the other side, the streamer's interactions, heart gestures, and thank-you messages to fans, were all done by AI. That night, they chatted happily, peacefully, and even had decent viewership.]

[Star: ...Is this what you call friendship? You wasted an entire night looking at a bunch of bots; if it were me, I'd spank you hard.]

[Hanabi: What's wrong? It's having a lot of fun, isn't it?]

[Star: (눈_눈)……I almost forgot you're a funny person. Okay, fine, you deserve it.]

Having learned her lesson once, Firefly was much more wary than before: "Before heading to Pinocchio, Silver Wolf did tell me to be wary of people asking 'Why life sleeps.' But that's not enough evidence."

"Really?" Hanabi chuckled, crossing her arms and a smug glint in her eyes. She teased, "Then what if..."

"Will you experience death three times in your dreams?"

"..." Liu Ying's expression shifted, but she was still not immediately convinced: "Then why is it that we're only exchanging clues for the first time now?"

"Otherwise?" Hanabi rolled her eyes at her, pouted, and turned away from her.

Speaking of this, she was speechless and furious: "How could a fool like me catch up with a Memory Master in a dream?"

She said sullenly, "Hmm~~ Every time, she's just a hair's breadth away from disappearing with you in a flash."

[Star: Hahaha... So you've been inhaling exhaust fumes the whole time? I already imagined it. Hanabi's short legs were flailing about frantically, but just a few steps away, Dahlia and Firefly darted away and disappeared from sight, and kept doing it over and over... Tsk tsk, torture, truly torture.]

[Sangbo: But on Hanabi... Pfft! It's so funny, it makes me want to keep laughing. Hanabi, your frustrated and helpless rage after getting humiliated is way cuter than usual!]

[Hanabi: Hey! You two... Hmph! That wicked woman was definitely deliberately timing it. Teasing that clueless goose is one thing, but daring to mess with Hanabi-sama! I hope I never run into you on Hanabi-sama's turf, otherwise... Hmph, just as I thought, what's that proverb again? The bigger the shield, the worse the demon king!]

Firefly was starting to believe her, and she crossed her arms and continued, "Just who exactly is Constance?"

Hanabi cleverly replied, "He's in charge of the Dream Master, but he doesn't look honest at all."

"She secretly made a deal with me." She became quite animated as she spoke, turning to look at Liuying again.

She grinned and said mysteriously, "She pointed to a nightmare where all of the Dream Master's conspiracies will be carried out."

Liu Ying lowered her arm and immediately asked, "A nightmare... what exactly was it?"

[Hanabi: Hmph, now you're obediently listening to Hanabi, aren't you? Don't believe me? Fine, I'll just leave it at that, you'd better watch out!]

[Qingque: This is quite a strange scene. A Star Core Hunter is asking an outsourced Masked Fool about the contents of the script.]

[Silver Wolf: It's all because Firefly wasn't vigilant enough. Luckily, Dahlia only altered her memories; if she had transformed into Star's appearance, she would have asked her every single question about the brand of Eriol's cat food!]

"Should I just tell you directly?" Hanabi looked her up and down, then wagged her finger coquettishly and smugly. "No way! I've suffered quite a bit."

She turned her head away, gazing up at the seemingly endless whirlpool in the Dream Reef, and uttered words imbued with philosophy: "In short: after you've had your best time, try your best to fly to the sky, and you'll hear the chirping of insects at the top of the oak tree."

The fireflies didn't condense; they shook their heads. "This is too much of a riddle. I can't believe you."

Having delivered on her promise, Hanabi completely abandoned any thought of gaining trust and declared matter-of-factly, "Come on, I'm your partner, not your subordinate. Don't hold a grudge against me just because someone lied to you first!"

Why are you not vigilant when you should be, and why are you building such a thick wall around your heart when you shouldn't be?

I suspect you're targeting Director Hanabi, deliberately preventing the film from being made so you can renege on your debts!

As she spoke, she vaguely heard some movement from Gallagher's side. Liu Ying glanced back and found that Xing had returned from the dream bubble.

"They came back faster than I expected..."

"Sorry, see you later." Liu Ying's expression softened considerably, and she immediately stopped worrying about whether it was true or false.

"But... thank you. At least you brought good news."

"Huh?" Hanabi was taken aback, forgetting to maintain her mischievous tone, and her voice returned to its original timbre: "...What's better?"

What did she say?

Nightmare!

Three deaths!

I'm going to fight the dreamer to the death!

Do you really think that the subject of these words is the great director Hanabi?

The firefly's gaze, fixed intently on the gray-haired figure on the platform, seemed to strain to see through everything.

She smiled happily and murmured to herself, "The most beautiful time."

[Hanabi: No, sis. Are we saying the same line? I said, after you go on a date with Hoshi, there will be danger, there will be danger to your life! What did you hear? Yay! I can go on a date with Hoshi?!]

Hanabi was almost driven mad by her. She finally realized that all her language skills and threats of unacceptable consequences were utterly useless!

The best way to persuade Firefly is actually to persuade Little Gray Hair first!

If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with any of these contact arrangements. I could have just thrown the words in Little Gray Hair's face. Why did I have to suffer this humiliation for nothing?

[Jingyuan: Hmph, there are many techniques for persuasion. Sometimes, winning isn't on the chessboard, but outside of it.]

[Silver Wolf: After all, she's a firefly. She can always find good news in bad news.]
