Chapter 24: Counterattack
At the end of the day, instead of returning to his accommodation in Central City, Roy went to the hotel where Alphonse was recuperating. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 During the day, he heard the news of Edward's return to Central City, and he happened to go to Edward at this moment.
Without Lieutenant Hawk Ai by his side, Roy felt deeply what it was like to be alone.
Knocking on the door, Roy pushed the door and walked into the room without waiting for a response, knowing that Edward had returned, and knowing that he must be in Alphonse's room at the moment.
As soon as he entered, Roy saw Edward sitting on the ground, like a defeated dog that had lost all fighting spirit and looked at the ground. Looking up at Alphonse on the bed, he found that he had the same expression. Seeing that the two brothers had lost their fighting spirit, Roy couldn't help but have a little headache.
"What's wrong with you, why are you so depressed?"
Slowly glancing back at Roy, Edward greeted weakly. "Colonel, you...... You're here. ”
"Don't put on a lifeless face, Steelboy. We haven't completely lost yet. ”
"Important people are being taken hostage, under constant surveillance, and the whole country is theirs...... Are we still hopeful of victory?" Edward took out his silver pocket watch and looked at the sign of the national alchemist in a daze, "National alchemist. Originally, I felt that the system of national alchemists was a little strange, but now it can basically be determined......"
Leaning against the doorframe, Roy glanced at the guards in the hallway, and said to himself that they were really serious. Then he closed the door and sat down on the chair next to the bed, he didn't want to sit on the floor like Edward.
"It's the so-called human pillar. The national alchemists are only established to select the so-called human pillars, and the rich rewards are also specially set to attract more alchemists, but they also harvest a group of fighters with super combat ability to quickly expand the territory. It really kills two birds with one stone. Roy also pulled out his silver pocket watch, hooking his fingers around the ring of the bracelet and spinning it between his fingers.
Edward put down the silver pocket watch in his hand and looked at Roy. "If I understand, I'll quit the national alchemist. I don't want to be their accomplice. ”
"What's the point of quitting now? From a lackey in the army to a homeless stray dog? Think about it, when you choose to become an alchemist of the state, you have already laid down your dignity. Putting away his silver pocket watch, Roy chuckled and said to Edward, "Stand up, Steelboy." Isn't it cold when you sit on the floor?"
Following Roy's words, Edward stood up from the floor and retrieved his silver pocket watch. As Roy said, in the current situation, quitting the state alchemist will not help anything.
"Now that you're back, they'll call us all over tomorrow to talk. Do you have any ideas?"
Sitting in the chair across the coffee table from Roy, Edward looked at the ceiling with his head in his hands. "What can you think? There are so many guards watching outside, and there are hostages in their hands, we can't sneak out. Now Al's body has not recovered well and he can't fight, and Yao Lin and Ouyang have also fallen into their hands, and their greatest combat power is not around. We can only think in the long run. ”
"Again, we can only think in the long run. Now we don't have enough information, and we can't think of any countermeasures. Pressed against his chin, Roy fell into deep thought.
On Roy's side, Hawk Ai was transferred to the president's side, and the number of times she could meet with Roy had become very rare, and she was restricted from meeting with Roy in private, and it seemed that someone was watching her. The rest of the subordinates were all transferred to other headquarters with a paper order, and even if they wanted to get in touch, they could only contact through the military's contact information, which would definitely be heard.
On Edward's side, Wen Li had been taking care of Alphonse in Central City, and the doctors and nurses sent by the president were not very hard, and she was already asleep in her room at this time. However, Wen Li's status is that of a hostage, and as long as she has clear location information, it is enough for androids. After all, Wen Li can't have too high combat ability, and if she is dealt with, ordinary soldiers will be enough.
Alphonse was weak, was recovering and needed to do some rehabilitative training to strengthen his physical functions, and it was impossible to fight alongside Edward for a long time.
"Understaffed, Colonel. Do you know anyone who would like to wade into this troubled water?"
"People know a little by now, but how do you get the word out of them now?" Roy said with a look at Edward, uncomfortably.
Roy really wanted to tell his old boss about the situation in the center, but unfortunately now that he is being watched, he can feel the real same gaze from the other party every moment, even if Roy has a secret channel, he can't use it now.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, a figure jumped into the room through the window.
Seeing someone enter the room, Roy and Edward both subconsciously clasped their hands, ready to control each other first. It's just that after seeing the identity of the person who came, both of them were a little surprised.
"Lin!, aren't you being ......?" Alphonse asked in surprise as he looked at Yao Lin, who was dressed in black.
"Ah~~!, it's hard to say!" Scratching his head, Yao Lin said in his characteristic cheap tone, "I'm Glide now, that's the name given to me by the boss of the androids." And then my current ability is this. ”
Rolling up his sleeves, Yao Lin showed his smooth right arm to the three Edwards, and then in the surprised eyes of the three, Yao Lin's right arm turned black and was completely wrapped in diamonds.
"Have you really fallen for them?" Edward asked in a deep voice, not wanting to hear Yao Lin say yes.
Waving his hand to remove the diamond state of his right arm, Yao Lin looked at the three Edward with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be too serious! I didn't fall to them, it's better to say that the situation of the android is a little embarrassing now." Anyway, I'm here to tell you that things have changed. ”
"Has the situation changed?"
Looking at the surprised eyes of the three with satisfaction, Yao Lin slowly said something amazing.
"The boss of the android is probably about to lose his hand. ”
Underground in Central City, the lair of artificial humans below Central Command.
"Ahh
In front of the android father, Pryde, Envi, and Bradley looked at their father sitting on the throne in a panic, not knowing what to do. They never thought that such a thing would happen, so much so that they had absolutely no measures to deal with it at this point.
"I said, I said that I came from another world, and I also performed eating the Philosopher's Stone in front of you, and you still dare to turn me into the Philosopher's Stone and eat it, isn't it a little too bold?" The right half of the android father's face sounded, and that half of the face was not the face of the android father, not Hohenheim's appearance at all, but Ouyang's appearance.
"Damn! Damn!!" Crushing the right side of his head, the android father grabbed a red object and began to tear it out of his body, "Get out of here!!"
"Hey, I mean, I've been in your body for days, and you haven't noticed any changes in your body?"
As Ouyang's voice fell, Ouyang's right arm, which had been torn hard, stopped exerting force, let go of the red object in his hand, and let it return to the part of his head. At this time, the right half of the body that originally belonged to the android father-sama had been acquired by Ouyang, and the right upper body had been transformed into Ouyang's appearance.
Although he was made into a sage stone by his android father because of his carelessness, Ouyang was almost not injured in the body of his android father, and the soul murmur around his body could not affect Ouyang's soul at all, and Ouyang not only existed here, but even the blood existed in this soul storm in the state of clothes.
After being absorbed, Ouyang tried to counter-absorb his android father, so as to find himself. As a result, as soon as Ouyang absorbed them, he found that he could purify these souls, and after purifying them, it would be more beneficial for him to absorb the Philosopher's Stone, so in order to be able to seize the Philosopher's Stone in the body of his android father at one time, Ouyang began to purify these souls.
In fact, Ouyang also knew that his purification, to put it bluntly, was to completely crush these souls and make them disappear completely. There is no reincarnation in this world, and the souls of people will actually dissipate after death, and these souls have been made into the Philosopher's Stone, and they have lost themselves for a long time, and they have not even maintained their basic consciousness, so they can not be regarded as human beings at all.
However, Ouyang still crossed them with reverence, allowing them to leave this world with peace of mind. During this period, Ouyang saw Yao Lin's arrival, originally Ouyang thought that because of his intervention, Yao Lin would not be used as artificial material, but he didn't expect him to come. Then Ouyang made a move when his father injected Yao Lin with the Sage Stone, so that the Sage Stone that entered Yao Lin's body was a pure Sage Stone that had been purified by Ouyang, but it contained some information left by Ouyang.
After that, Ouyang quietly purified his soul, and it was only today that he began to seize the body of his android father.
