Chapter 384: The Day of a New Promise
"That's really unlucky, but you should also learn to be self-reliant, you can't always rely on your subordinates." Wu Ming shook his head and said, "Besides, when you really face those guys, don't you think those subordinates of yours are a little unsightly?" I think that except for Fu Ai, the others are all seconded goods. β
"Not everyone has terrifying combat power like you, and your subordinates are much stronger than me, not to mention that the Alchemist of Frozen alone is enough for those androids to drink a pot." Mastan pulled out a note, "Just got a piece of information from Faiai. β
"Selim Bradley is an android, isn't he?" Wu Ming took the first step to say the contents of Mastan's note, "Artoria and they have already been in contact with Selim not long ago, although he is stronger than other androids, but there is nothing to be afraid of, Lulu has already fought him once." β
"Then what are you doing with me, I don't think I have any valuable information to tell you." Mastan knows his weight very well, Wu Ming is far above him in terms of strength and power, so Wu Ming's only purpose in coming to him is only to obtain information, but now that Mastan knows all the information Wu Ming knows, Mastan thinks that he has no use value for Wu Ming.
"Help me contact a general." Wu Ming said lightly, hearing Wu Ming's words, Mastan immediately got up, Wu Ming is lazy, there is no doubt about it, although he is now a lieutenant general, but it is also very troublesome for him to contact another general, Mastan dares to bet on his full set of belongings, if it is not for any earth-shattering event, Wu Ming will definitely be too lazy to see other general-level officers.
"If you're looking for a general, you're not the only one in Central City." Mastan said lightly, he had a hunch that Wu Ming's next actions would change the entire Ameristras, so Mastan couldn't help but restrain his words and deeds, and he couldn't express his opinions lightly before Wu Ming made a clear statement.
"What I need to find is a general who is not controlled by the big president, and cooperates with the actions of another major general." Wu Ming knocked on the table and said impatiently, "Although I am a lieutenant general, it is a pity that my rank is just an empty shelf, and I don't have a soldier on my hands who can command." β
"You're going to make a coup?" Mastan's face became ugly, a coup d'Γ©tat is not simple, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will pay a great price, and if it succeeds, the benefits may make up for the loss, but if it fails, it will be a doom.
"I didn't say I was going to stage a coup d'Γ©tat, I just found out that someone in Central City was trying to kill the people of the whole country with the terrible Refining Array, and then intervene to stop it." Wu Ming shook his head, "But that's a rhetoric to the people, and for the top brass of the military, I have to make them feel that there has been a rebellion." β
"You think I can help you?" Mastan rubbed his temples, Wu Ming's words were so shocking that he didn't even know whether he should be for or against now.
"If you're willing to help, I don't mind, after all, one-on-one, except for Selim and the president, you still have the power to fight with the other androids." Wu Ming nodded approvingly, "I think you should have a way to contact Lieutenant General Gulaman." β
"If you're dealing with androids, I think you're going to let ordinary soldiers disrupt your vision." Mastan said as he took out a game of chess from under the table, unscrewed the base of the 'king', and took out a note, "I didn't expect that I would use this at such a time." β
Mastan began to analyze Wu Ming's plan, for androids, ordinary soldiers are no different from civilians, even if it is a sea of people tactics, there is no way to deal with androids, and it is Wu Ming himself who will really fight with androids at that time. Of course, this does not prevent Mastan from reasoning further, if he asks Lieutenant General Gullaman to help, then Lieutenant General Gulaman's Eastern Army is estimated not to be used in the central city, as long as he takes the east to create some illusions.
"I can help you contact Lieutenant General Gulaman, but I must know about your plans, at least as far as I can." Mastan took the note in his hand, he didn't believe Wu Ming, but he had to be cautious, what Wu Ming was doing now was treason if it was spread.
"On New Year's Day, there will be a darkness in Ameristris, and all you have to do is for the country to see again." Wu Ming took out a note and stuffed it to Mastan, "I won't waste my tongue, all you have to do is write it on it." β
"Why that day, does this day have any special significance?" Mastan knew that Wu Ming would not pick a random day, which meant that something would definitely happen on this day of the New Year.
"Do you know about the eclipse?" A slight smile appeared at the corner of Wu Ming's mouth, "It was originally a natural day, but now it has become a little different, although you don't notice it much, but I think the androids have become a mess over there, maybe their plan will be changed drastically." β
"Eclipse? By the way, according to the predictions of those who specialize in observing the stars, we in Ameristris will experience a total solar eclipse in the spring after the New Year. Mastan noticed the difference in time, of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he thought of a possibility, "Could it be that the eclipse will occur on the day of the New Year?" β
"It doesn't really make sense for you to ask this question, because your work is to be done before the eclipse appears, and when the appointed day comes, your role will be gone, and you can just be a spectator at that time." Wu Ming stood up and turned to leave Mastan's office
"Damn, what the hell is going on?" The flask man angrily smashed the table next to him and looked at the ceiling stuffed with dense tubes, but instead of the ceiling, he looked at the sky, and according to the figurative observations, the time of the total solar eclipse had been advanced, and it had become the day of the New Year.
"Could it be related to Hohenheim, he has been operating in the Territory Refining Formation of Ameristras all these years, could it be that he has done something?" Pratt also stared in the direction of the sky, he had just discovered this matter, and in his opinion, the strongest villain in the country except for the flask was Hohenheim, that is, he could have this ability.
"No, let alone Hoinheim, I don't have the power to change the orbit of the moon." The little man in the flask sat down and said thoughtfully, "If you find this idea to speculate, it is very likely that the culprit of this matter is God, and only God has this ability." But it's useless, I'm going to take your place and get complete freedom, you wait for me, God. β
In the eyes of the flask villain, it is God who causes the change in the time of the eclipse, that is, the truth, in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist", truth is equivalent to inhibition, and it is normal to intervene in things that change history, and the flask villain knows that his plan has long been detected by the truth, but it doesn't matter, the ultimate purpose of his plan is to replace the existence of truth.
However, the truth of this matter is actually very simple, it's just that Wu Ming deliberately modified the time of the eclipse when he wanted to make the land refining array hastily launched, as a world-class peak master, Wu Ming only needs to erase part of the moon's revolution time to achieve such an effect, of course, in order to modify it silently, Wu Ming and Eve did it together, and even the truth in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist" may not be able to detect the actions of two world-class masters.
After all, the energy level of this world is much lower than that of the Moon World, and it is estimated that except for people of Hoinheim's level, even if an artificial person runs to the Moon World and encounters the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, he will inevitably be abused, after all, there are still many gaps between the two worlds, the most obvious is that the inhibition of the Moon World can appear in the present world by its own will, and as the inhibition of this world, the truth can only come into contact with the present world at the moment when the door of truth is opened. It is precisely because of this that even if Wu Ming and Eve do such a big thing as modifying the existence of celestial bodies, the truth as a restraining force cannot stop them.
Wu Ming just wanted the villain to burn the flask to launch the national-level Gate of Truth, but he didn't think that he really wanted to make the Land Refining Array launch successful, because the date was advanced, and the Land Refining Array must have been launched in a hurry, and this is exactly what Wu Ming wanted, the hastily launched Refining Array was easy to be interrupted, Wu Ming's plan was to interrupt his refining at the moment when the flask villain opened the Door of Truth, all he needed was the fact of the moment the Door of Truth opened, with this moment Wu Ming could enter the inside of the Door of Truth, Then he will be able to get his own truth.
"Pratt, tell me to go down, the excavation of the underground tunnel is going to be accelerated, and bring Gratoni and Envi with you." Since the appointed date has been advanced, in order to prevent the plan from being aborted, the villain of the flask can only speed up the completion of the land refining array, and Slos alone may not be able to catch up, so he can only send two artificial people to dig a tunnel together.
