Firefly: Stealing My Man Right in Front of Me? I've Put Up with You Pink Mammal for Long Enough! (1W2, continued)

The Erudition's electronic voice rang out in an aria-like tone, utterly breaking Chen Li's composure on the spot.

"Shut up!" Chen Li roared at The Erudition.

The Erudition said nothing more, but the purple glow around its body continued to flicker, as though protesting its own grievance and helplessness.

Wait, "truth"? "Overwrite"?

"Covering Reality?" Chen Li blurted out.

"Yes, that's it! 'Covering Reality'—what a concise and fitting skill
