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

[Star: It seems Archer has a lot of disdain for Command Seals. Did he suffer some kind of loss because of them?]

"Hey!" Sand Gold said irritably, "You're my servant, after all. At least consider sawing off Star's legs, okay?"

[Star: ...I think cutting off the left leg would be better. That way, when I'm using crutches, I can free up my right hand, which I'm good at, for fighting.]

[Red A: Hmm, that makes a lot of sense.]

[Fireworks: Hmm, Little Gray, you understand tactics, and you know how to efficiently exploit labor. (Confirmed)]

Sand Gold glanced out of the corner of his eye and met Star's gaze: "Wait, old friend, don't stare at me like that. I was just kidding."

Saber quickly shrugged off the three who were adding fuel to the fire, saying, "Everyone, don't fall into the enemy's rhythm and let him lead you by the nose. The more chaotic the moment, the more important it is to stay calm."

But the director's cut audio track is also stirring things up.

Archer, seemingly determined to go all the way against Sandstone on the top lane, actually initiated a vote and was the first to cast his vote for his "flashy" Master.

Saber couldn't take it anymore: "Hey, stop kicking me when I'm down. You already knew the real answer, didn't you?"

"A room you can't leave and a bomb that's about to explode—it certainly sounds convincing, but..."

"Common sense would be that a Servant would simply chop open a mere door, wouldn't they? Master, please take two steps back."

The sword-wielding girl shouted angrily, and the lock snapped open with a crack, the door swung open with a hiss.

[March 7th: Huh? It's really open? I was about to say how could the other party be so unreliable, but I didn't expect... these rules aren't the "rules" I understand at all, but the kind that's just posted on the wall and nobody would seriously look at?]

[Hanabi: This is the first time I've ever seen brute force actually succeed in a situation like this. Normally, aren't people who make suggestions like this just doormats?]

[Xing: I understand. He said it, so we believe him. That's called justification by faith. Whether we fall for his trick or not depends entirely on our own judgment.]

[Qingque: Hmm... This is truly the most reasonable schemer I've ever met.]

The plot of the horror movie ultimately proved too soft under the sword of the Knight King, and the group successfully reunited.

Apart from Scott's will possessing the chainsaw robot in the room, giving the group an opportunity to beat a man when he was down, this area remained completely undisturbed.

The group began exchanging information, studying Greedy's weaknesses, and figuring out what he was planning to do by setting up this strange situation.

Sand Gold said casually, "I've only heard of this name. This guy was a bad film director active in the Pinocchio era, who made an astonishing number of low-budget silent horror films and was particularly good at playing with interesting commercial gimmicks."

"But his name has long been forgotten by the Pinocchios. The film he used to imprison us was something I stumbled upon at an interstellar flea market."

[Star: How could we possibly bump into each other like that? Mother Goddess is at it again.]

[March 7th: I was right? An astonishing number of terrible movies... He's so pathetic.]

[Greddy: Hmm... that was just bad timing. My idea was too profound for ordinary people to grasp!]

How could this happen! Is it really necessary to announce these things to the entire universe?

What's even more terrifying is... how did that little girl even guess it? Now that it's been confirmed, doesn't it just make him seem like the one who's the most entertaining character?

Greta felt like she was shattered.

[Fireworks: Sigh~ Truly, she was born at the wrong time. The sheer number of films she shot equates to extremely high output. Add to that her talent for keeping costs down and capitalizing on commercial gimmicks, and she seems like a natural-born talent for short films. Focusing solely on movies is like using all her best resources for something else entirely. Sigh~ Born at the wrong time.]

Mikhail: Regarding that, well...

[Greddy: Ugh!]

*Swoosh!* It felt like a knife had pierced his chest.

"Thankfully, there's Scott. I finally understand why fate assigned him to be my Master."

[Star: Looking at him makes you feel better, right? The Holy Grail is quite caring.]

After some discussion, Xing and Sand Gold's group were certain that although the enemy had the ability to trap them in the world of the film, they were completely powerless against them.

Even that door that was just casually opened, the room with no bomb inside, and all that talk is just empty words—that's the best proof.

Although they were trapped in this fortress, the fortress was often breached from within.

After making up their minds, the group decided to search for their remaining companions while simultaneously searching the room for clues.

During the thorough search, Xing, with her keen eye, made some unexpected discoveries.

It was an interview transcript from a very long time ago.

It can even be traced back to the time when this place was a prison planet. The protagonist being interviewed here is undoubtedly the prisoner exiled here by the company—Greddy. He actually had a flash of inspiration after gaining insight into some of the characteristics of memory matter while washing his face, and created a dream bubble machine that can record and share dreams.

After he discovered this technology, a mysterious person gave him an idea.

The man said, "Why don't you make a movie? You're just killing time anyway."

Greta then embarked on a path of no return.

He invented the bubble movie, which truly benefited the oppressed laborers in prisons and made him famous.

They even brazenly obtained the publishing rights after bribing prison guards.

[Star: As expected, this guy is an independent pioneer of Pinocchio!]

[March 7th: In that light, he was quite remarkable. Under those creative conditions, to be able to make a film at all is truly impressive. The prisoners back then must have felt something like when I saw the photos of the commemorative journal Xing and Danheng prepared for me during my 97 days in Onfaros, right?]

[Old Audie: Not bad. Thinking about it now, that thing was really crude, hahaha... but it's like the last piece of honey pie on the plate from childhood. It's so nostalgic.]

[Yao Guang: But he actually became Scott's follower, a company specialist, to deal with the gold dust? Ha, it's hard to say whether it's fate playing tricks or if he has some kind of two-birds-with-one-stone plan.]

The group wandered around in the movie world.

Xing had a bad feeling.

Because, after pushing open the door in front of her, she entered a new room... one she had seen before.

But they never looked back, nor did they ever go around in circles.

[Star: Why is it another ghost wall? Why do both Pi Xing and Weng Xing have this kind of thing? I'm almost getting PTSD.]
