Chapter 3 Ouyang's Choice
"Why don't you believe me when I'm telling the truth?" Ouyang was helpless, others didn't believe the truth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How do you want us to believe it, are you from the world of the dead?" Yao Lin said as if teasingly, "By the way, you just said that you know the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, how about telling me this secret in private?"
Ouyang looked at Yao Lin and looked up and down, as if he was thinking about whether Yao Lin could be a suitable buyer.
"If you can come up with a lot of money right now, it's not impossible to think about it. But pay first, and then tell you. ”
"Then how do I make sure that the secret you know is true? You don't want to take the money and disappear from us? Yao Lin's eyes opened slightly, no longer squinting before.
Feeling Yao Lin's fierce gaze, Ouyang shrugged his shoulders.
"It's a consensual deal, and if you doubt it, there's nothing I can do. ”
Staring at Ouyang for a long time, Yao Lin was visually measuring Ouyang's physical ability, although he could only faintly feel that Ouyang was different from ordinary people, but being able to feel this weak place was enough to show that Ouyang's strength was not measurable by the standards of normal people.
[At least at the level of Fauber? Then you can't use strong ......]
"Although I would love to say that you tell me the secrets you know first, and then pay you when I get back to the new country. But you can't accept this plan. So, let's find a middleman. ”
Yao Lin pointed to Edward and Alphonse, who were watching the play on the sidelines, and said with a smile, "I believe they know the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, but they don't want to tell me. Since you claim to know the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone, tell them if the secrets you know are true or not, and if they are worth it. ”
Edward, who had been watching the play, couldn't stand it anymore at this time, it was obviously a deal between these two strange people, why did he want to be their middleman. So Edward jumped out against it, but it was rejected by Alphonse.
Compared to Edward, Alphonse wanted to know if the secret that Ouyang knew was a secret they knew, and that kind of thing was better known to only a few people, otherwise there would definitely be crazy people who would reproduce the experiments in the Fifth Research Institute.
"That, Mr. Ouyang, please tell me and my brother the secret of the Philosopher's Stone that you know. ”
"Why don't you find a place with good soundproofing? That guy over here seems to want to eavesdrop. Pointing to Yao Lin, who was sitting sideways behind him, Ouyang was sure that this guy was properly trying to eavesdrop.
Edward stood up, said hello to Wen Li, and motioned for Ouyang to come with him. Also coming out is Alphonse, in Edward's current state of missing an arm, it is estimated that he will not be able to do anything.
"Al, let's go underground. Tapping the ground with his foot, Edward turned to Yao Lin and pointed at Yao Lin with his remaining left hand, "Let those two people appear in front of us, otherwise we won't confirm whether the news Ouyang knows is true." ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Yao Lin saw that Edward was nervous, and knew that it was impossible to let Lan Fang or Fu Bo follow them. Clapping their hands, Lan Fang and Fu Bo suddenly fell from the roof and stood behind Yao Lin.
"Now that they have appeared, you can go. ”
"Yo Si, Al, let's go. ”
As Alphonse launched his alchemy with his hands folded, a downward staircase suddenly appeared on the ground under the feet of Edward, Ouyang, and Alphons, leading to a basement that had just been refined below. After the three of them entered the basement, a blue electric light flashed on the ground, and the entrance to the staircase into the basement was closed.
"Young master, is it really good to miss such a good opportunity?" Fauber was a little regretful, this was supposed to be a very good opportunity.
"Yes, Your Highness, this ......"
Yao Lin waved his hand, stopping the two from continuing.
"Needless to say, Edward made it clear that he didn't want us to know the secret, and they wouldn't have confirmed it if you didn't show up. Moreover, that Ouyang ...... Fauber, do you feel anything unusual about him?"
Fu Bo recalled it seriously and found that Ouyang gave him a strange feeling. Just as Alphonse gave him a weird feeling, it didn't seem to be a normal person's feeling, it seemed that they were all inhuman, but Ouyang pretended to be more like a human.
Indeed, he seems to be ...... Not human. ”
In the basement, Alphonse made several stone benches on the ground so that the three of them could sit down and talk.
"So, this place should be safe, what do you know?" Edward looked at Ouyang seriously, and he didn't relax his guard against Ouyang at all.
"Where to start?"
With a few taps on his chin, Ouyang asked Alphonse for a pen and paper to carve out the snake pattern in his memory. It's just that those memories are a little far away, and Ouyang can only draw a rough sketch, which can't be very accurate.
However, this general pattern alone was enough for Edward and Alphonse to know what Ouyang was trying to express. It hadn't been long since they had seen this thing.
"How do you know this pattern!......? You're one of theirs too?"
"No, no, no, I'm not a companion of these androids. Shaking his head, Ouyang denied Edward's statement, "To state in advance, I don't know any alchemy, and I don't know how to draw that Sage's Stone into a burning array." All I know is that the Philosopher's Stone is made of humans, and information about these androids. ”
Seeing the pattern Ouyang dotted on the paper, Edward's mind returned to thinking about the android once again. It can be said that from the first day of meeting, the android was listed as an enemy by the Edward brothers, and it was an existence that needed to be defeated.
"What do you know? about those guys. ”
Edward was serious and serious, he really wanted to know everything about the androids, after all, they were hiding in the secret areas of this country, carrying out some unknown activities.
Looking at Edward's expression, Ouyang thought in his heart. In terms of the information that Ouyang has, it can be said that it is the future of this world, but Ouyang understands one thing in Gensokyo, when the people in the play make a choice, or get more information, the whole show will go in a different direction.
Now is a point of choice between telling Edward something and letting things go in the unknown direction, or just telling Edward some limited information so that the future still follows the original script.
[Blood, what should we do?]
[Obviously, the second type is safer.] Ouyang, in fact, we don't need to get involved in the affairs of this world, and we can leave after our blood and qi recover. 】
[Yes, when the blood is restored, we can leave.] It's just that...... It's hard to come to such a world once, and if you still follow the script, it won't be too boring. 】
[Do you want to ......]
[I wonder what Edward would have made if he had known most of the things.] 】
"Edward Elric, what I'm going to say next is very important, very important, and it's a very cruel reality, are you sure you want to listen to it?" Ouyang said solemnly, hoping to attract Edward's attention.
"We've experienced the cruelty of reality or something. Ever since we knew that the Philosopher's Stone was made of human materials, we ......" Edward whispered more and more, and he remembered the synthesizer again, the synthesizer who had ordered the alchemist to make out of his own daughter.
Alphonse patted Edward on the back to calm him down.
"Please speak, Mr. Ouyang. ”
