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

[Jingyuan: That's exactly right. A contemporary poem praised that lady's beauty: "In the north there is a beauty, aloof and independent; one smile could topple a city, another could topple a nation. How could one not know the power of such beauty? Such a beauty is hard to find again. It's a pity that even with such deep love, they couldn't escape the pain of being separated by death. How tragic, how lamentable!"]

[Fireworks: Let's leave the first and last four lines aside for now. This "lady" before us, her methods of captivating beauty couldn't possibly be based on laughter, could they? Her methods aren't that inefficient. Beep → Beep ↓ Beep ← Beep ↑ Beep ↓!]

[March 7th: Such a beautiful woman is hard to find... What a touching story. So... why are we suddenly talking about ancient tales of the Immortal Ship?]

[Yao Guang/Jing Yuan: ...]

[Danheng: March, for the sake of your reputation and image, next time you have something you don't understand, it's best to ask everyone on the train first. Don't immediately announce it in the group chat.]

Please understand that this not only exposes your doubts, but also your intelligence!

[Fireworks: Tsk tsk tsk, Cold Noodles Little Green Dragon is still so good to his companions. Even at a time like this, he still thinks some of March 7's character traits aren't solid, and that there's still hope. March Rabbit, you've seen countless riddle-solving characters in Pinocchio's large-scale werewolf game, you should understand what metaphor is, right? Guess why Firefly was just looking at the railing with such longing, but when she saw the stars, instead of being overjoyed, she looked troubled and immediately told him to leave?]

[Illusory Image: In the harsh reality for most people, this situation would most likely result in infidelity. But for Firefly and the raccoon, this is an option most people wouldn't even consider. So, which character in the story does she correspond to? There are only two characters, so choosing one shouldn't be wrong, right?]

[Sambo: Firefly is extremely brave, so I guess she corresponds to an emperor who expands the territory! Okay, the wrong option is also eliminated.]

[March 7th: So... Ah! You mean, although Firefly seems fine, she's already...]

Damn it, she was fooled by the dream. Probably because she was in a dream, Liu Ying seemed perfectly normal; she'd completely forgotten that in reality, she was still lying in the treatment pod!

Cough cough, it's definitely not because she's slow to react or anything...

[Robin: That's right. If nothing else unexpected happens, she's like an elephant sensing its impending doom, leaving the flock alone to hide in a secluded place, quietly awaiting the end of her life, trying her best not to give anyone a chance to grieve or shed tears. And Miss Firefly probably wouldn't want to see herself suffer from entropy disorder and be swallowed up by the power of reproduction either.]

[Star: I... F***!]

Xing reacted much faster than March 7th, and as a result, her brain was numbed by the shock much earlier.

It was so close! So close! If she had chosen not to come, or even just to consider it for a day, it could have led to a disaster!

……

Faced with the firefly's retreat, Xing said without hesitation, "No, I know this is a promise."

Liu Ying's eyes widened, her heart trembling. She was almost swayed: "How did you know about the [agreement]? I clearly didn't say anything about it..."

[March 7th: Me too... cough cough.]

"Danheng." Having learned from his experience, March 7th turned back awkwardly and whispered, "Was this mentioned before? I don't remember."

Before she even asked the question, Danheng's brows were already furrowed. It felt like she'd heard it somewhere before, but it was too fragmented to pinpoint exactly where...

Just as he was racking his brains, he suddenly heard a voice that sounded slightly out of place in the light screen.

"Mimi, mimi."

The screen flashed and they found themselves in Onphalos. The figure that appeared was none other than Mimi.

Observing his surroundings again, Dan Heng suddenly realized: "This is... the temple of Oronis? Is this... the time when Xing was discovered to be 'dead,' and thus came to Oronis for help?"

I remember that it was actually Xi Lian, who closed the cause and effect, who saved Xing, but at that time they only regarded it as a miracle of Fu Li.

Because it involved Xing's life and death, he remembered this part exceptionally clearly; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was overly sensitive.

But what does this have to do with the promise between the stars and the fireflies?

"Future? Past. Insight. Secret..." Mimi murmured, sending Xing's consciousness back to that long-sealed memory.

Xing looked around in confusion: "This is... a train?"

That's right, this is the train, and even Pam's chef's uniform and pajamas are hanging in the corner.

"That's...me? And Himeko and Danji...which memory is this?"

She hadn't suffered any more amnesia after boarding the train. So why couldn't she remember this scene? But soon, she became even more confused. What strange things were they saying?!

Himeko said, "...This time the harvest was quite good. Although it deviated slightly from the [script], it's not a big deal."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xing. I'm so relieved you weren't hurt."

[Hanabi: Script? Is this your line? No, hehehe... I said before when Little Gray Hair remembered the universe that Himeko and Kaffa were definitely having an affair, and I was right!]

[Phantom Image: Oh ho ho, it's actually true? Then I'll have to push the boundaries a bit more in my comics!]

[Star: Come on the train, how about I buy you some coffee?]

star:"……"

"Heh...aren't you going to say a few words?" Himeko joked, seeing her melancholy. "Traveling with two quiet people like this feels a bit lonely, doesn't it?"

"Hmm..." Xing pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "I'm hungry."

"Hmm~" Himeko was slightly dumbfounded, then smiled faintly: "You only speak up at times like this? Come on, dinner is ready."

A deep, weathered voice came from Dan Heng's throat: "...If possible, please don't chop up the beef offal indiscriminately this time."

Himeko asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Don't you like the taste of your hometown?"

Dan Heng's expression turned serious: "I hate the smell of internal organs."

[Dan Heng: Hiss...]

Although "recipe nonsense" fits Himeko's character, he got goosebumps the moment "himself" opened his mouth, and it became even more terrifying after hearing another sentence.

That voice, forced out of his throat with a weathered, middle-aged quality, sounds like a blade!

His voice, coming from his own mouth? Even in my nightmares, I couldn't imagine something like this.

[Fireworks: Is this still Little Gray Fur? So quiet and reserved? Has she mutated?]

[March 7th: Does Professor Danheng ever have such a disrespectful side? Only Uncle Yang would speak like that, right? But if it were Uncle Yang, it would definitely sound like Himeko recommending coffee in Vision.]
