The woman calmly said to Yi Beidou.
Yi Beidou understood that it was no longer the woman standing before him, but a different consciousness.
Dr. Beretta.
"Is this the reason you joined the Pioneer Group and experimented on countless innocents?"
Yi Beidou asked.
"You could say that. You can call me cruel, an executioner, a madman. I don't care if history nails me to the pillar of shame."
"Great changes in the world are inevitably accompanied by bloodshed. The Industrial Revolution, for instance, led to the deaths of countless laborers in factories. Yet, it's undeniable that it also brought immense progress to human civilization."
"All I want are results. I want to see if human civilization can take the next step forward. I care about nothing else. I'll leave the judgment to future generations."
A detached smile touched the woman's face.
Yi Beidou fell silent, recalling his various encounters with Beretta. He was a man who defied easy classification as good or evil.
