Chapter 61: Purpose
Beryl felt that he was completely unable to comprehend what the man who called himself Miller was doing.
"Why did you save me as a human, and as a witcher?" asked Beryl.
"Boring question. Miller was looking at the computer screen on the desk, answering almost nonchalantly.
"I don't think it's boring, I don't believe you're going to save me for no reason, you should have your own purpose, right?"
That's right. Miller turned his head to look at Beryl, "I do have my own agenda, and I think you are also a being that you can use." ”
"How can you conclude that I will cooperate with you? ”
"Because I've been watching your movements. Miller smiled, "I'm a person who never takes action before he's fully prepared, and I've decided you're someone to work with." ”
"So what the hell do you want to do?"
"I want to eliminate that guy. Miller said calmly, "That's it, there's no other purpose." ”
That guy. Of course, Berlier knew who Miller was referring to, and if so, could it be that the man in front of him had been sent by the BPRD? No, it didn't look like it was, so who could it be?
"Who sent you?" Belier blurted out subconsciously.
Miller couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Do you think someone sent me? Unfortunately not, I just acted on my own ideas." ”
"Miller, yes, I remember, I've heard that name before. Berlier looked at Miller again, and he finally remembered the rumors he had heard.
"Oh, that's a little interesting to me, so let's just hear what kind of being I am in your demon's mouth. ”
"Because I often act in the human world, I naturally have heard of what you are doing, and it is said that the underground trading market of the entire human world is monitored by you, I don't know if what I said is the truth. ”
"This is the kind of thing that anyone who knows a little bit about should know. Miller replied, "It's true." ”
Miller has been monitoring the world's vast underground market, and under his supervision, there are many items that cannot be sold even in the underworld.
It should be said that it is precisely because of Miller's existence that the order of the world has been maintained to a certain extent, but with it comes the fear of many people about Miller's harsh control methods.
"I heard that you tried to dissuade a merchant from selling something, but he didn't listen, so you tied an iron ball to his foot and threw him into a huge ornamental fish tank, and invited a lot of people to watch, right?"
"There's such a thing. Miller admitted, "That guy is just dazed and wants to sell what he stole from the BPRD lab, and if this kind of thing is scattered, it will be a big problem." ”
"What will happen?" asked Beryl.
"In terms of the least damage, I'm afraid those things are powerful enough to destroy two or three cities, so it's absolutely impossible for him to sell them anyway. ”
Throughout the underground market, a variety of goods are being bought and sold, but the most troublesome thing for Miller is the various items that have been scattered from the BPRD lab.
Once, BPRD suffered a serious attack, and nearly a third of the test items that were sealed in the dust were scattered, and these test items were all quite dangerous without exception, so Miller kept an eye on these things.
This is Miller, who has a terrible name, but at the same time maintains order, and he is strong enough to do it all.
Miller had always disliked BPRD, but despite this, he was still a witcher, and no one knew why, but Miller was the most disobedient of the three.
"Don't let me hear those stupid orders again. Miller once said to a herald sent by headquarters, "I don't want to listen to those guys, don't bother me with these things!"
But that's how Miller has always been at odds with everyone, and now he's finally going to decide to do something.
"So, you're doing this for the safety of the other humans?"
"Not exactly. Miller raised an eyebrow and said, "I have other uses for these experiments, but I won't allow them to be bought or sold anyway." ”
"And what is your current position?" Beryl finally said what he wanted to know most.
"I am not on the side of humanity or hell, I am acting on my own, fighting for my own ends, and this is who I am now. ”
"But, no matter what, I have to be on the side of the winner, I used to think that hell was going to win, but I didn't expect that Mammon was actually a traitor, so hell actually fell short at the last moment, and fate is really completely incomprehensible. ”
"Then since you just want to be on the winner's side, as you said, why are you attacking that guy?"
"Because I perceived his plans. Miller smiled with a subtle expression, "While you're all fighting each other, I've been secretly investigating Mammon. ”
"What did you find?"
"I got a plan that made people feel crazy, a plan to completely wipe out the existing world, and although it was only a small one, it was enough to shake the whole world. ”
"What exactly do they want?" asked Beryl, impatiently.
"They are a group of people who have completely despaired of the existing world. Miller stood up and said, "There are demons, there are humans, and there are even creatures who don't know what they are, but what they all have in common is that they are all attracted to a so-called new world. ”
"New world?" Baryl repeated, "that kind of thing would not have been possible." ”
"No, you can. "I investigated carefully, and they took a drawing from the BPRD's most hidden archives, and it was through this drawing that I was able to peek into a corner of their plan." ”
"I can't allow them to exist like that. Miller said, "They're just a bunch of escapists, at least I don't want the world to die out now, so I'm going to destroy them." ”
"You can't do it alone. "No, I should say that even if I agree to join you, neither of us can do it." ”
"You're right, not to mention that you're already poisoned now. Miller smiled.
"Then the reason why you saved me is not valid, so what you said before is a lie. ”
"Then I'll tell you the real reason, I see the shadow of a certain man in you, and now I can't understand him at all, so I want to get the answer I want from you. ”
"Is that just because of that?" said Beryl, still not fully convinced.
"One more thing, you are the Seven Sins anyway, and at some point you may be able to play an unexpected role, and now that I am alone, it is better to have more of this kind of thing than less. ”
"That's why you really saved me. "It's because you think it can still be useful, that's why you're doing it." ”
Miller shrugged noncommittally, "Whatever you want, but you should hate them too, don't you? ”
"What I hate most is why I am a demon, this unchangeable fate is the existence I hate, and as for the hatred of my companions, of course I will get this account back with my own hands. ”
Sure enough, you're also a rebel against fate, Belier. Miller thought to himself, that's right, that's what I'm looking for!
"Then it's easy. Miller said in a calm tone, "The two of us have roughly the same purpose, so it's not impossible to work together, how about it?" do you think my proposal is acceptable?"
This human is not lying, Beryl has already made a judgment in his heart, and he does have a very strong strength, in that case, then I will agree to cooperate with him.
"I agree. Belier nodded and said, "As long as I can eliminate them, I am willing to cooperate with you." ”
"Good. Miller said satisfied, "I would like to ask you a question about whether the time of Satan's resurrection is certain. ”
"At most, there is almost a day left. "That means his resurrection is near," Baryl replied, "What's the matter?"
"This is very important information, since those guys want to completely destroy the existing world, then Satan doesn't need to exist, no matter what, they will definitely take action against the resurrection ritual. ”
"You're right. Baryler agreed with Miller's analysis, "Then do you mean to go back to hell and fight them?"
"Nope. Miller waved his hand, "The focus of their plan is on the machines, we don't need to worry about them, we just need to destroy the machines with precision." ”
"Sniper tactics?"
"Yes, find the most vulnerable part of the enemy and attack, so that you can ensure the victory of the battle to the greatest extent. ”
"It's a good plan, but you'd better hurry, I'm afraid my body won't last long. ”
"You can rest assured of that for the time being. Miller said to him, "Although there is no way to completely eliminate this toxin, I have found some way to suppress it, so that your strength can be roughly restored to its original level." ”
Beryl tried his hands and feet, and sure enough, his strength had almost recovered, and the pain all over his body was not as severe as before.
"I'm barely able to keep you alive a few more days. Miller said, "The toxin that Raven uses is really horrible, as long as it is poisoned, it is simply incurable. ”
"That's enough. Baryl didn't care, "Then tell me your plan quickly, I don't want to waste any more time." ”
"Okay, come with me. Miller walked straight to one of the walls of the room, and as he pushed in a brick, a secret door slowly opened.
"Come in. Miller turned back to Miller and said, "I promise this plan will be of interest to you, and the day is not far off when those fellows will perish." ”
