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

Scott was furious.

Why does the atmosphere in the group chat seem to be shifting towards a grand funeral?

……

The Anomaly Defense Department dispatched a large number of police officers to apprehend the Dawn Squad.

Three of them fought back fiercely, but after receiving almost no more willpower, they were almost instantly suppressed when Zhenzhu, one of the ten stone-hearted people, personally led the team.

Ash, who had no direct connection to the matter, was completely distraught and even asked to be taken into custody along with the others.

However, after carefully verifying that he was indeed not involved in the case, he was still kicked out by the police despite his strong insistence.

The other three individuals were not only involved in a murder case, but also served as a breakthrough point in the company's internal power struggle. Therefore, they were given high priority, and Diamond personally instructed that interrogation specialists be dispatched.

[March 7th: Seeing all the evil they've done, I actually kind of hope they can endure the company's punishments a little longer, suffer a little more... Wait, do you think I've really fallen into evil ways?]

[Fireworks: Maybe it's the spirit of the Night Moon possessing me?]

Star, Cloud, and Silver Wolf reminisced about Scott.

And the final question is now before them.

Tingyun sighed softly, "Alas... this mastermind has disguised his voice, and we can't deduce his identity from it. How can we find him?"

The Dawn Team had already been defeated, and after learning the whole story, the clues to find the mastermind behind it all went cold again.

This has really been quite a rollercoaster ride.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Scott, if only you had shouted out the name of the killer before you were murdered..."

[Star: I suggest all victims learn this virtue.]

"Perhaps we could check the call records of the Gongyuan Help's phone? That shouldn't be difficult for Miss Silver Wolf, right?"

After Tingyun finished speaking, she received no response for a long time. She turned around and saw that Silver Wolf was standing there blankly, as if it had run out of power.

She rubbed her head in frustration: "Miss Silver Wolf? You haven't spoken for a while... Could it be that the video was too gory...?"

"Ah, ah, just a moment, it'll be ready soon..." Silver Wolf replied casually, tapping his fingers on the terminal until he finally regained his composure.

"Alright..." She put her hands on her hips, looking utterly exasperated, and began to interrogate, "No, Miss Ghostman, who do you think you are? Go out and tell others that 'Star Core Hunter members are afraid of bloody scenes,' and see if they laugh at me or you."

[Star: That's true. But what if I went to tell someone, "Star Core Hunter members are crying and making a scene because they're afraid their game accounts will be banned"?]

[Silver Wolf: Hey, hey, hey! We're clearly on the same side, okay?!]

[March 7th: The nickname "Ghost Man" is always hard to believe. It's a pun, but why is it so much funnier than "Shut Up"? It's so strange.]

Tingyun smiled awkwardly but politely: "Where was Miss Silver Wolf just now?"

Silver Wolf's lips curled into a smug smile, his eyes gleaming with extreme pride: "I just put this video up for auction on the dark web!"

[Hayek: Pfft! Ahem... Sold, sold? I doubt the author was credited, right?]

[Fireworks: Hey, you're still worried about that? Now the whole universe knows you're one of Lone Wolf Scott's most trusted lieutenants.]

Hayek: Uh…

"Huh?" Tingyun immediately tensed up: "Miss Silver Wolf, what are you trying to do?"

Xing said very "innocently," "If you need money, I can lend it to you!"

"What nonsense!" Silver Wolf was truly speechless: "If I need money, I'll go collect my own bounty."

[Star: Ah... your comment is even more outrageous than my usual antics. I'm always afraid of someone saying something so nonsensical in a serious tone.]

[Fireworks: How can this not be considered a form of donation? The company is generously contributing to the end-of-the-world salvation plan in an unconventional way!]

[Gold dust: It still feels like being sucked out.]

Silver Wolf smiled faintly, showing off his little trick: "The mastermind behind this is carrying out high-intensity killings to silence us. If he sees my auction information online, he'll definitely come and kill us within half a system time."

"Detectives of the last era would personally search for the murderer. Detectives of our time prefer to search for enemies in the void... That's not quite the right word, but you get the idea."

[Star: It's just entrapment. It never fails.]

Tingyun hesitated, "Won't this... be discovered by the mastermind behind it?"

Silver Wolf's eyebrows immediately furrowed. Why was the person in front of her a defeatist strategist?

"This is the second time you've looked down on me today! I'm getting angry!"

[March 7th: Wow~ So cute!]

[Star: Indeed. That puffed-up face looks like it could fly away with a "bang" if poked.]

[Silver Wolf: No, I'm angry!]

[Star: Ah, right, right, right.]

"Who am I?" Silver Wolf said smugly, boasting, "Don't worry, with their practically non-existent hacking skills, they'll never figure out we're phishing. They'll just think some unscrupulous sheriff is trying to make some extra money."

Silver Wolf crossed his arms and shook his head, saying, "I really envy him. He gets the Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf to personally go fishing."

Tingyun pursed her lips: "Indeed... it's not a bad idea."

But I still feel the intention is too obvious.

[Sai Fei'er: Is it really that safe? Making such a confident statement could very well be a sign of being proven wrong.]

[Yao Guang: There will always be some gain. The mastermind has no choice. Given his personality of killing dozens of people at a time, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night if such risks were allowed to spread unchecked. Even if he doesn't plan to act personally, but just sends a henchman, that's still a clue.]

[March 7th: That makes sense! Is this even an open conspiracy?]

[Silver Wolf: Hmph, how about that? Have you witnessed the wisdom of His Majesty the Wolf Lord?]

Tingyun offered a few words of praise, and Silver Wolf immediately beamed with delight, proudly raising its little neck: "It's good that you know how powerful I am."

"Then let's just wait for the killer to come knocking. Since we're just killing time anyway, why don't we try to guess who he is before he arrives?"

She deliberately took a few steps, then casually tossed her hair back, her eyes filled with an air of "I have it all under control" as she glanced at the two of them.

"And I, the super genius Wolf Lord, have already deduced the answer! We have just investigated all the necessary clues, and this mastermind is the same character who appeared in the pioneering journey of the Two-Phase Paradise."

"All the clues are ready..." she said with a smug expression, opening her arms wide. "Happy hunting!"

Seeing her forced pretense, Xing didn't give her any face and even had a hallucination: "These lines sound so familiar... Are you Hanabi in disguise?"

"Tch! Does she own the copyright to that line?" Silver Wolf curled his lip, rolled his eyes at her, and then said confidently, "But don't you think it's kind of cool? I've wanted to say it for a long time."
