Chapter 824 Miriam's Fate
The plastic duckling stood on the ground, unresponsive to the spell.
Little Leah got down on her knees and poked it.
"Gah!" Xu Cheng yelled cooperatively from the side, which caught Mi Laiya's attention.
When Xiao Laiya turned her head to look, Xu Cheng threw her down from behind, and the two of them rolled on the floor.
How beautiful Mi Laiya was in the past, Xu Yang thought to himself. All the witches he has seen are recorded in his digital mind. She is so tall, her exaggerated male peak is ready to be seen, she is wrapped in a black leather clothing that outlines her curves, with heavy makeup, her expression is mysterious and evil.
But now! Mi Laiya is just a little witch about 7 or 8 years old, wearing a black pleated skirt, like a little princess, similar to Xu Cheng and Pao Pao, playing with them.
her magic...
Miriam's magical power can turn everyone into a puppet who can only repeat "Forever Miriam", and is manipulated by her to become a slave without their own will.
Xu Yang silently looked at the young Mi Laiya.
At the beginning, Mi Laiya was entrusted by the core of the lighthouse to spy on the information of the ancient witch. This was the first battle between Xintai Xizhou and its own forces.
As a result, the young Lu Jing was investigating cyber demons at that time, and by the way helped Xu Yang and the others defend against Mi Laiya's attack, and defeated Mi Laiya on the street in front of Suzuki Spring.
Afterwards, Miriam was sent to Tianshu Manufacturing, and after several years of memory loss surgery, she was traded back to Nisto Corporation. Is it some kind of..."gift"?
A few months ago, Faroza used the law of recovery to turn Miriam into a child's state. Now she has no memory of the past and has started to construct her own personality again. It is considered to be a reset case. A new benchmark.
But in another world line, I'm afraid Mi Laia will die, otherwise I won't feel sad. Xu Yang was thinking silently.
"Didn't you feel nervous when you adopted her?" Xu Yang turned to look at Niederett.
"Did luck hand her over to me? She was trained by the people at the core of the lighthouse to become a fierce witch who kills people without blinking an eye. But I'm afraid it will be different again, and she will become a witch who loves life. But... still There is something wrong." Niederett took Xu Yang to check Mi Laiya's file.

"Her criminal record hasn't been wiped out," Niederett said, "but Miriam...you see, she has become a completely different person, how can she cover her head with the last Miriam's dirty words? How about it? You have many ways to do it, so I have to think about it for you.”
"Deleting these records is of course very simple, and no one will track them down anyway, but this is part of Mi Laiya's continuity. Tianshu has already used amnestics to delete all of Mi Laiya's previous life, and deleted her For all the original social relations, Faroza turned her into a child again, which is tantamount to killing half of the original Miriam. If even her crimes are deleted, it will kill Miriam’s other half as well. Then she should change her name to another woman." Xu Yang said.
"Yeah, isn't it great, I'll give her a new name from scratch," Niederright said thoughtfully.
"Her magic power is to make others repeat the name Miriam. It is impossible for her to give up the connection with Miriam. From the perspective of continuity, it is the criminal record that maintains Miriam and everything in the past. If it is deleted , that is, she was completely cut off from her first half of her life, it was like giving her a new life. This is good, but the question is, is Miriam worthy?"
"You are too strict, Old Xu, you are really too strict." Niederett sighed.
"I just think Miriam should pay for what she has done. Maybe you believe that there are two worldlines in this world. In another timeline, Miriam may have died in an accident. Then her The crime is naturally written off in a reasonable manner, because we cannot let the dead atone for it. But Miriah is still alive here, standing in front of our eyes, this witch who has been engaged in sabotage activities all year round and has bloody hands, is she going to live happily ever after? Like that? It would be too unfair to too many people." Xu Yang said.
To Xu Yang's surprise, Niederlet's high-pitched voice broke out in an instant.
The anger he had hidden for a long time suddenly burst out.
"You, what are you talking about, what about Qisheng Yuanyuan and Tongye Lianshi? Aren't those two women also bloody entrepreneurs? Kidnapping, assassination, indirect murder, designing the century pure land system to control more than one hundred northern archipelagoes In 2010, they were also two criminals. They committed a thousand times, a hundred times more crimes than Mi Laia. Why did you just let them go, and you are so harsh on Mi Laia here! I have endured you for a long time, and I have never Point out your hypocrisy in person, but today, I really can't bear it!" Niederett said sternly.
Xu Yang frowned at Niederlet's sudden anger. He was also very angry at first, but soon suppressed his emotions, quickly sorted out his logic, and blurted out his words.
"...Didn't they atone for their sins? Since they lost power, the two have completely left the center of power, completely letting Kyoto Infinity retreat to the second line, and doing their best to prevent the conspirators in the company from fighting against Nisto Corporation. Unlimited has been in the position of "submissive" for so many years, and watched Nisto's development and growth. All the proceeds of their painting "Siphon!" were donated to charity, with more than 20 billion yuan donated to the poor and Patient. Qisheng became self-exiled, and will never return to real affairs for the rest of his life. Kirino Reise is also closing his pen now, returning to the shrine to wait for death, and he will live for a few years. Didn’t they make their own efforts first, and then Won a smooth ending? Others should not be killed, but should be closed." Xu Yang frowned.
The quarrel between them aroused the fear of the children, Xu Cheng and the others heard the very loud voice between Xu Yang and Nieder, Bubble hid in the corner in fear, Xu Cheng and Mi Laiya They looked at each other and walked nervously.
Xu Cheng looked at Xu Yang, and Mileya looked at Niederlet.
The children's eyes suppressed the conflict between the adults for a while, Xu Yang stared at Niederlett, behind Niederlett's enigmatic metal mask there must be more stormy criticisms, but they couldn't tell each other To vent, you can only keep it in your heart.
"I—" Xu Yang said in a calm tone as much as possible, "I have never tried to be that kind of arbitrariness, and I am not the one who has the final say on everything. Boss, have you noticed? I am more focused on doing my own thing. Regarding the trial and ruling, I only give my own opinion, and the final decision depends on the Witch Ministry."
"You just plucked yourself clean. You have a share in the glory of Nisto Corporation. The darkness of Nisto Corporation is not up to you to decide. Anyway, it is the problem of the people under you..." Niederett hid the more intense words. in the heart. They all tacitly said nothing.
Xu Yang knew that once the conflict between men exploded, it would be as fierce as a volcano erupting, and he knew that his relationship with Niederett would never return to the way it was in the past. But he has to bear the blame, which is actually the first time in so many years that someone has accused him like this.
Is it wrong to deal with Miriam like this? Why can't we talk about the facts? Xu Yang was thinking silently. My punishment for Kirino Reishi and Qisheng's bond was not cruel enough, so I couldn't deal with Mi Laia according to normal rules? Or do you say that your own judgment has lost its credibility forever?
He felt that those hatreds were washed away by the sea, and quickly faded. Xu Yang's digital mind was connected to half the world, and quarrels like today passed through Xu Yang's sea of information like lightweight feathers. He took Xu Cheng's hand and prepared to leave.
"Please stay for dinner, please." Weier, Niederite's assistant robot, requested.
"Eat..." Xu Cheng looked up at Xu Yang pitifully.
This child probably knows everything about it, Xu Yang thought to himself, she and Niederite just had a big fight, does she also hope that the relationship between herself and Niederlett will ease? Xu Yang turned his head to look at Niederett, who was sitting at his desk, scratching his hood.
Weier cooked a hearty meal, with edamame and seaweed slices for starters, a large sashimi platter in the center, lined with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger on the side, a bowl of ramen for everyone, and a bowl of ramen for other meals. Dishes include teriyaki beef skewers, grilled chicken nuggets, mochi and red bean paste.
They sat on cushions on the floor, around a low table, and ate in silence, with Miriam quietly dividing the food on the plate in front of her. No one spoke, because neither Xu Yang nor Niederlet wanted to speak.
Xu Cheng peeked at Xu Yang and Niederett, which was a wonderful observation material for her.
She secretly wrote down in her heart: Men who have quarreled face to face are like this, their dignity forms a delicate balance at this time, whoever speaks first seems to lose momentum, and the one who is silent until the end is the eternal winner.
What broke the silence was an email sent to the studio. Niederright got up and went to the studio. Wei Er turned her head and looked at Niederett in a daze.
"What is that?" Xu Yang asked.
"Recently, Master Niederite intends to donate his brain nerve recording disk." Weier said.
"It's just... engraving his prosthetic doctor and prosthetic body making skills into a skill file for people to download? Doing this at his age will hurt his growth potential." Xu Yang was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry...Mr. Niederite is always like this." Wei Er lowered her head.
Xu Yang checked the directory of the scientific research department, and sure enough, Niederlett was registered, and he confirmed it just a few seconds ago.
"I have to remind you." Xu Yang warned Niederet who came back, "Brain skill transcription surgery will damage the vitality of your nerve cells."
"I know." Niederlet sat down nonchalantly, "This can cultivate hundreds of prosthetic experts like me, which is much more meaningful. The new society has given me opportunities, and I will also give them opportunities to others." Chance."
"I know you have good intentions, but you'd better confirm their terms again." Xu Yang said.
Niederright held his chopsticks, as if he was getting more and more incomprehensible to Xu Yang's question.
"Didn't we set up Nesto Company just out of good intentions?" Niederett said.
