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

[Star: It's okay, go ahead. I haven't seen much good news lately, just mostly disappointing news.]

[March 7th: What you're saying... makes me feel like the sadness has gone beyond just finding the bomb.]

Toppa: "Let me elaborate."

Silver Branch: "This trial of [Pure Beauty] is particularly perilous."

"I found 145 adorable dolls, but mistook them for Fool's bombs."

March 7: "Isn't this really a trial of [pleasure]...?"

Silver Branch: "In any case, please be patient."

"I have a feeling that if our virtue of patience can win Idrisla's heart, the problem will be easily solved."

Himeko: "Mr. Gin-chi is right, everyone. Don't let your guard down."

[March 7th: Still no bombs? Where did Hanabi hide such a huge quantity of 100,000 bombs?]

[Star: Maybe...]

[Sai Fei'er: Perhaps Hui Zi's network showcase has turned into a segment where influential figures are being toyed with by Huo Hua.]

[March 7th: Huh? ???]

The stars were running wildly everywhere. This time, on a billiard table, sat a doll with an air of arrogance. For some reason, although they all looked similar, this one exuded an air of arrogance just by looking at it.

Before Xing could even speak, the [Outlaw] doll blurted out: "Welcome to the [Huichangshi], esteemed lady! I am a dangerous bomb, and also an outlaw who despises public order and morality, haha! Have a wonderful day here."

[Firefly: Wish... It's because of you all that Xing's life couldn't possibly be happy!]

[Star: This is getting more and more outrageous. Should I bring over the previous constable and detective dolls and make a three-for-one set for you?]

Xing raised an eyebrow at this rather polite outlaw: "You don't look or sound dangerous."

"Huh??" Doll opened her mouth wide, quite dissatisfied with her questioning: "Baby, if you don't think it's exciting enough, I don't mind showing you what real danger and madness are."

[Potio: Hey, don't copy me!!!]

The doll's nose bridge turned black, like a criminal in a detective anime who remains ferocious even after being exposed.

"To be honest, the reason I became an outlaw is not because I treasure a bomb, but because I possess an ancient and insane, blasphemous spell that is unforgivable by human ethics."

"Hahahaha! Do you want to experience it? I can read it to you, but Master Huo Huo will not be responsible for any consequences."

Xing was completely unfazed, enjoying the thrill: "Let me test your strength!"

[Star: Ah~~ I'm so scared, please don't say it out loud! Pfft~~ At this point, I'd believe you're an idiot.]

The doll looked at her in surprise, just like in her pre-planned script where Xing would immediately kneel down and beg for mercy after hearing this: "Wow, baby, you're much crazier than me. Let me gather my thoughts..."

She said softly, "...The ritual is ready. Prick up your ears and listen carefully to the oldest, most primal, precious tremor etched into the genes of humankind—"

Outside the light screen, Xing leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of her specially made juice with a straight face.

At this point, apart from the tenants and residents of March and Pinocchio who dared not gamble, people with above-average intelligence were completely unable to feel any tension.

What imaginary neutron bomb? It's probably just a propaganda bomb created by Hanabi!

The only puzzling thing is, what benefit does she gain from going to so much trouble, messing with so many people, and offending so many others? But after all, she's a fun person, so it's not surprising that she does things that are just asking for trouble.

Therefore, many people are now wearing an expression that says, "Let me see what else you have to say."

The "Outlaw" doll held its breath and actually uttered a spell that made many people instinctively feel uneasy.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Flower Ska, Fire Ska, Little Flower Fire—! Flower Ska, Fire Ska, Little~ Flower~ Fire!"

Upon hearing this, March 7th felt a jolt, as if a strange calamity was about to befall him.

[March 7th: Ugh! W-what's going on? I actually have a real sense of crisis that the bottom layer of our world is about to be overthrown? It feels like our world is a game, and after saying this, I've infringed on the copyright of some big IP, and the other party has responded at lightning speed, with a lawyer's letter already on its way!]

[Star: Huh? This analogy isn't exactly groundbreaking, but how did you come up with it?]

[Gold Sand: Ha~ Interesting. What kind of company has such extraordinary abilities? Do you need investment from Interstellar Peace Company?]

[Yao Guang: To be honest, I really couldn't predict the future of that statement.]

[Fu Xuan: Senior Sister, how can you have such leisure to lie and fool around with them when you clearly... can't even divine the future?]

[Qingque: Huh? Could it really be some kind of spell?]

For no apparent reason, the veins on Xing's forehead bulged.

The voice, so similar to that of the legendary Pinocchio animated character, "Watch Boy," immediately set off alarm bells for her! Ancient, deeply ingrained muscle memory caused her to swing her arm and slam her fist into the doll's face, letting the doll taste the consequences of its actions and experience the feeling of freedom as it transformed into a star in the heavens.

But once she came to her senses and broke free from the state of being controlled by muscle memory, Xing couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If what the doll said earlier was true, then there shouldn't be a single imaginary neutron bomb exploding on the surface of [Golden Hour]. Don't worry...right?

It's really hard to completely trust someone's character.

[March 7th: I feel like something's missing... Why didn't it call out that it would definitely come back?]

As usual, Xing took a moment to glance at the group chat.

As expected, the company team, with its large numbers and powerful resources, made rapid progress.

Topa: "The company's special investigation team has wrapped up their work. They found 329 dolls, but no bombs. This is a synchronized update."

Potio: "Even you guys are helpless?"

"Holy crap, this could be fatal!"

March 7th: "Don't give up! We're so close to 999, and the train crew will be wrapping up soon!"

Topa: "Please, everyone, I'm going to take over the evacuation team now. Good luck."

Xing scratched his head. With that, 826 dolls had been collected. At this rate, it seemed like only one more batch was needed.

[March 7th: I feel like Xing, isn't your efficiency a bit low? You finish finding one here, and hundreds have already been dug up on the other side.]

[Firefly: Star has already tried her best.]

[Star: It's clearly because they're finding them way too efficiently, right? They dug up 200 dolls in less than two minutes on average, which is faster than pressing the button on Fireworks...]
