Patrick added another sentence.

"That one doesn't count."

Although Patrick didn't say it explicitly, most people had already guessed which movie she was referring to.

If the head of the Oceania branch heard this, he would definitely say indignantly, "What did the Herrscher of Wind do to you?"

"That's true," Theresa nodded.

"Well, Kiana! Is that enough?"

Little Knowledge shouted loudly, his tone extremely impatient.

Kiana gently stroked her fair chin with her delicate white hands.

Although she was fully aware of Little Knowledge's tough side, she didn't really understand Little Knowledge as an enemy or a soldier.

"Back in Sky Dome City... I saw her gentle side. At that time, she had lost her body and had very little power left, but she still tried her best to help me. What would you do if you were in her shoes?"

Kiana's tone was flat.

"Of course I'll do everything I can to help you," Little Knowledge blurted out without thinking.

However, Little Knowledge said she couldn't imagine what it would be like without a body, since she was already so powerful now that she definitely wouldn't experience that scene again.

"I can recreate that scene for you."

Faced with Fu Hua's sudden outburst, Little Knowledge grumbled a few words, but still lent her his power, agreeing to her intervention.

"Has Little Knowledge not noticed yet?"

Seeing that Little Knowledge had actually lent his power to Fu Hua was unheard of. The naive Little Knowledge had no idea that the two people in front of him were planning to bully a child.

"Wouldn't this be considered setting a flag?"

Bronya suddenly realized.

If Fu Hua returns to her body later, wouldn't Little Knowledge become a being without a body? Wouldn't her statement that "that kind of thing won't happen to her" become a huge foreshadowing?

Little Knowledge complained, "Can't you think of me in a better light? Bronya, we still have three years of comradeship."

"Comrades-in-arms?" Kiana asked curiously.

"Playing together in shooting games."

Bronya: (???)

"Pfft."

"Hello!"

Little Knowledge glared at Kiana, who couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hmph, since you're so heartless, don't blame me." Little Knowledge snorted coldly and joked, "I wonder who fell asleep halfway through the movie when it got to the main plot."

Bronya was speechless.

Suddenly, I realized that I seemed to still be in Little Knowledge's illusion.

In this movie, I felt like I was just a supporting character.

After "Angel Rebuild", she hasn't had any major roles, as if she's been sidelined.

Bronya felt as if a knife had been plunged into her heart.

"It's alright, Sister Bronya, it's alright. There are advantages to having fewer appearances; you won't suffer any setbacks," Seele gently comforted her.

Bronya felt as if a knife had been plunged into her heart again.

What she didn't notice was that a mischievous smile had already crept onto Seele's lips.

After Fu Hua gained power, the illusion changed drastically, and it became the Shencheng Pharmaceuticals.

Little Knowledge was excited; infiltrating Feather of the Wind was incredibly easy. Just as she was about to take care of a soldier with Kiana, an alarm suddenly went off. She realized that the soldier in front of her was not human.

Feather of the Wind was unable to cast illusions on the robot.

"You've exposed us," Kiana said coldly.

"Heh, what does it matter! Just eliminate them!"

Little Knowledge disagreed.

"The essence of infiltration is to ensure no one notices you've been there; killing them all is also a viable tactic!"

"This isn't infiltration; this is blatant intrusion!"

Pardo's rant.

"This guy handled it very well, just what I wanted. Killing them all is the perfect way to infiltrate!" Kalpas nodded in approval, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath his mask.

Upon hearing Kalpas's approval, Pardo immediately fell silent.

"Watch me!"

Little Knowledge chatting with Kiana, Xiao Shi took down the World Serpent's guards. Not satisfied with the fight, he even wanted to bring out the Jackal to play with.

"The squad leader was very weak at that time, and she was unable to fight the enemy head-on like that."

Kiana looked at Little Knowledge, who had finished dealing with the mechanical guards and was walking towards her, and gave him a cold reminder.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I'm really not used to pretending to be weak."

Little Knowledge had vented a lot from the fight and was in a much better mood now.

"You can't understand the feelings of the vulnerable?"

"No, well... I should say I don't want to be a weakling at all." Little Knowledge thought about it carefully.

"Perhaps that's the biggest difference between you and her." Kiana closed her eyes.

"Yes, that's right. In the past, I was very strong, but I was weak; but I am not." Little Knowledge stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist.

Little Knowledge believes he has enough power to change the world into the way he wants it to be, but Kiana believes Fu Hua is a strong person who can understand the weak.

"I've already told you I'm not her! You should be considering who's better, me or her." Little Knowledge's good mood vanished, and she even became a little defensive.

"Are you trying to say that you're not Fu Hua?" Kiana asked, a glint of surprise in her eyes.

"I...of course I am! But...I've changed."

Kiana planted one trap after another in her words, just waiting for Little Knowledge to fall into them.

"I feel so sorry for Little Knowledge. What she thought was fair was unfair from the very beginning."

As a mother, Blanca felt a fondness for her newborn Little Knowledge, perhaps because of maternal love.

"What a lively child."

Aponia is overflowing with maternal love, even more so than Blanca, who has given birth herself.

"Lively? Sister Nia, you call this lively?!"

Mei stared in astonishment at the scene on the big screen where Little Knowledge had completely dismantled Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, yet Aponia described it as merely lively. This only intensified Mei's fear of childbirth.

"Yes, it's normal for Little Knowledge to be a little active at this age. As parents, we need to guide him carefully," Aponia said with a smile, gently stroking Little Void's head.

Little Void quietly chewed on the straw.

"Kiana is so smart now?!"

The more Little Knowledge looked at it, the more she felt that Kiana's brain was grown specifically to deal with her.

"What do you mean?! I've always been very smart, okay?!"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips.

"I really couldn't tell."

"Bronya!!!"

Little Knowledge got anxious.

She didn't understand at all.

Even though everything she did in the past was a failure, while everything she did was a success—killing Otto and defeating Kevin —why not welcome the new her?!

"Perhaps you are better and stronger than the class monitor, capable of defeating even more formidable enemies. You might be a better class monitor..."

Little Knowledge smiled.

But soon after, Kiana's words brought her smile to a halt.

"But you are not our class monitor."

"You've asked the wrong person. The two people in front of you, the Fu Hua you despise, used to spend every day with. We are her friends."

"We don't care what kind of person Fu Hua should be, or what kind of person she can become... What we like is just Fu Hua, only that Fu Hua."

"—You can't replace our class monitor."

"Wouldn't saying this be too hurtful to her?" Kiana felt that her character in the story was being too blunt and might be hurting Little Knowledge's feelings.

"I'll hurt you..." Little Knowledge subconsciously wanted to blurt it out, but she held it back. It was just that she had been watching too many TV dramas lately.

Little Knowledge really wanted to curse.

She didn't realize it while dubbing, but when she saw it on the big screen, she discovered that her character was truly wronged. It was very satisfying to watch at first glance, but in reality, she was being bullied the whole time.

My actions, even my very existence, are being denied.

The name Fuhua Shishi has not appeared in the movie so far.

"Although it hurts me, there's nothing I can do. Little Knowledge is Little Knowledge, and the class monitor is the class monitor." Bronya said seriously, "If Kiana really thinks Little Knowledge is a better class monitor, then that would be a true denial of Little Knowledge."

"Indeed, Little Knowledge and the class monitor should be two different individuals." Mei nodded.

Little Knowledge remained silent for a long time.

Is this the answer? Is this your answer?

Little Knowledge's expression was uncertain, her face showing resentment and heartbreaking grievance, her tone filled with surprise, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"You chose... her? You chose her?" Little Knowledge's voice trembled as she suppressed her anger and sorrow. "I am not Fu Hua, she is... is this your answer?"

Little Knowledge's body trembled slightly. She raised her head, her brows furrowed, and her lips were bitten until they bled. All the audience could see a misty haze in her eyes. In that instant, she looked like a young child.

"You idiot!!!"

She vented her anger and resentment through words.

The illusion could not be maintained under extreme anger.

Back in reality, Little Knowledge was still cursing.

"Idiot! Fool! Moron! You—you—"

Her limited vocabulary prevented her from uttering any insults, and even posting them online wouldn't elicit any correct responses. Her anger was palpable, but it suddenly cooled down just as it reached its peak.

Little Knowledge's eyes widened as she realized what was happening.

"You've already made up your mind, haven't you? You've never taken me seriously—I was never a choice."

Kiana was speechless and had already prepared for battle.

"And her—she's been helping you all along. You guys..."

Little Knowledge closed her eyes, clenched her fists tightly, and trembled uncontrollably. "So it turns out I'm the only one still thinking about this... It's so unfair."

Little Knowledge's tearful voice was heartbreaking; she had only ever wanted recognition from the beginning.

The audience could sense that Little Knowledge would get angry, or even lash out in anger, but they didn't expect him to be so resentful and heartbroken. The sense of injustice seemed to penetrate their hearts through the screen.

"The more I watch, the more I feel that Kiana and Fu Hua are bullying children."

Sakura's expression was strange.

"Stop bullying Little Knowledge, it breaks my heart."

If Little Knowledge were sitting next to Elysia, she definitely would have hugged her long ago, since the tenderness and grievances that Little Knowledge showed in this scene were most likely to resonate with people.

"Heh, this little guy's swearing is almost as bad as Kalpas's."

"Mobius joked."

Yaqing suddenly felt immense pressure.

The gaze that Kalpas looked over.
