Chapter 1215: It's Not Easy Being a Fence-Sitter

So that's how it is...

Looking at Atifi 00, who had taken over the Wang Hou's body, a flash of realization couldn't help but appear in Li Ang's eyes.

No wonder his luck was so good that he happened to run into the little theater about the truth of that year as soon as he entered the preservation hall. It turned out it was specifically for him to see.

"It'll do."

After nodding noncommittally, Li Ang stared at the "Wang Hou" with a gentle smile and asked:

"Does Andre know about these things you just showed me?"

"Of course not."

The Wang Hou... or rather Atifi 00, smiled and answered:

"Although Fei Liya's computing power is much stronger than mine, things like souls and memories aren't something you can handle just by having computing power. As the developer of soul encoding technology, I don't find it difficult to hide a little something from my own 'work'."

"I see... It seems the relationship between you and that Prince Andre is even worse than I imagined."

After narrowing his eyes slightly, Li Ang said:

"The reason you hid this past is to wait for a time like this, so you can take it out to deal with him?"

"Don't put it so harshly."

Atifi 00 answered with a smile:

"After all, I am still Andre's aunt. Maybe I was just worried that the child would collapse, so I couldn't bear to tell him the truth?"

"..."

I don't believe a word of it...

After glancing at her speechlessly, Li Ang didn't continue the conversation, but instead pondered the things behind this past.

After all, if what Atifi 00 showed him was true, and Prince Andre was also unaware, then the bloody case that happened to the Kelo royal family was a tragedy caused by a misunderstanding.

Because they couldn't bear to watch their two children die in extreme despair from illness, the old King decided to sacrifice one to save the other, and because he didn't want Andre to bear the guilt of "living only by sacrificing his sister," he chose to hide the truth from him.

But in Andre's eyes, the entire Kelo royal family had fallen into madness, and in order to solve the crisis facing the kingdom, they actually pressured the old King to sacrifice his twelve-year-old sister.

And his parents not only didn't protect Fei Liya, but one gave the order and the other chose to acquiesce. On his sister's birthday, they had her brain removed while she was alive and turned into a cold machine.

Honestly, if it were me, I'd probably go crazy if I ran into something like this.

Standing from the perspective of a fellow sister-complex, after putting himself in Andre's shoes, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, somewhat understanding the reason for all his actions.

King Emperor Fei En and his wife didn't want Andre to live with guilt, but judging from the results, doing so instead took away even more things from him.

From Andre's perspective, if his father could sacrifice his sister for the kingdom, he could naturally sacrifice him too. So everything in the past turned into false lies, and the happier his original life was, the deeper the pain.

Honestly, if Prince Andre's surname were Uchiha, this wave would probably be enough to awaken his eyes, and at the very least it would be a three-tomoe. With such a deadly piece of bad luck, who wouldn't go crazy?

However, understanding is one thing, but in the current situation, if he could use this intelligence to deal with Andre, he should use it as he should, and he definitely wouldn't have the slightest hesitation.

Understanding and sympathy are things for after the fight. Once he is dragged out of the No. 1 Research Area and all his resistance capabilities are removed, there will be plenty of time to slowly sympathize with him.

As for whether this intelligence can actually be used to deal with Prince Andre...

If possible.

If Prince Andre really doesn't know about these things, then if he shakes out this "truth of the year," it could indeed cause him no small amount of psychological damage, but the result might not necessarily be favorable to his side.

Considering that the ancestors of the Kelo royal family were originally very powerful cleaners, the possibility that Prince Andre would create an anomalous object like Joshua in the future after his spirit suffered "severe damage" is not generally high.

If he didn't have a mental breakdown and give up resistance, but instead started going even crazier and exploded in power, then that would be lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet. Rashly revealing the truth of the year to Prince Andre might not be a good thing. The significance of this intelligence isn't as great as it looks... However, this news might not be completely without value.

Thinking of this, Li Ang glanced at the "Wang Hou" in front of him, then took the initiative to ask:

"Atifi... I'll just call you Atifi. There's one thing I'm very curious about. I wonder if you can answer it for me?"

"Go ahead, but whether I can answer depends on what you ask. If you ask about Andre's trump cards, I definitely can't tell you."

"Rest assured, I won't ask about his trump cards. What I want to ask about is still what happened that year."

Staring at the "Wang Hou's" emerald eyes, which were the same as Fei Liya's, Li Ang asked word by word:

"Were Andre and Fei Liya really 'sick' that year?"

"..."

"What do you mean?"

After a moment of silence, the smile at the corner of the "Wang Hou's" mouth faded slightly, and then she frowned:

"I just showed you everything that happened that year. Except for Emperor Fei En, whose actions I simulated because his brain was removed, all the memories regarding these matters were entirely in their own brains. I don't have the ability to fake things in this regard."

"I'm not suspecting you of faking it."

Li Ang shook his head upon hearing this, and pressed on step by step:

"What I suspect is whether the information King Emperor Fei En received was true.

Can you tell me, were Andre and Fei Liya really sick that year, and would they both have died if one wasn't sacrificed, or did someone secretly do something to them in order to create a machine intelligence ten times better than their own?"

"You suspect that their illness was fabricated by me?"

After hearing Li Ang's words, the "Wang Hou's" face couldn't help but turn slightly cold, and then she said with an unfriendly expression:

"Stop with the wild fantasies. Our Kelo Kingdom has very deep research into the brain, and there are over three hundred scholars who have made achievements in this area. If I had done something, wouldn't Emperor Fei En have gone to others to verify it?"

"There are many scholars who understand the brain, but at that time, you were the only machine intelligence. And the brains of your Kelo royal family are already very different from ordinary people's. Those scholars might not necessarily have been able to avoid being deceived."

Looking at the "Wang Hou" opposite him who was staring at him fixedly with hidden anger, Li Ang summarized:

"So in this matter, the possibility that you did something isn't zero, am I right?"

"..."

"Of course, or I could put it more bluntly."

Li Ang slowed his speech, his eyes fixed on her as he continued:

"What's important isn't actually what the truth is, but what Prince Andre is more willing to believe.

On one side, he slaughtered his own family and relatives with his own hands because of a misunderstanding. He himself is the biggest mistake, and he doesn't even know who to take revenge on if he wants to.

While on the other side, someone was playing a conspiracy, deliberately using his hands to create this tragedy, so at least there's a mastermind he can take revenge on... which one do you guess he'd be willing to believe?"

"..."

That would definitely be the second one... And if Andre knew this "truth," he would probably act immediately to destroy himself!

Looking at the aggressive Li Ang in front of her, the "Wang Hou's" face no longer showed the previous playfulness and ease. Having already begun to regret taking the initiative to contact Li Ang, she couldn't help but frown and question:

"What exactly are you trying to do!"

"Of course, it's to cooperate with you more deeply."

Li Ang said with an unchanging expression:

"What I want isn't a fence-sitter swaying in the wind, but your more thorough and unreserved support... Atifi, you wouldn't want the truth of what happened that year to be known by your good nephew, would you?"
