Section 12 The Philosopher's Stone
Bang!
Edward clenched his hands into fists and slammed them into Zhuo Zai.
The soldiers guarding the door were surprised and immediately rushed into the room.
The floor was covered with paper, on which were written various numbers and some alchemical symbols.
"Edward, what's wrong?" Hughes asked in surprise.
He had planned to come over and invite Brother Edward to his house for dinner, but he didn't expect to see Edward full of anger.
Hughes was extremely good at intelligence analysis, which is why Roy Mastangu valued him. He could tell almost at a glance that something was wrong in the room.
Elric sat in the shadows under the windowsill, fixed and silent. Xiusi's heart moved, couldn't the two of them find the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone?
Thinking of the tragic experience of the two brothers, Hughes felt sympathy in his heart, and couldn't help but comfort: "Edward. Don't be discouraged, the Philosopher's Stone is a legendary thing, where is it so easy to refine, why don't you take a break and continue to study? β
"Don't mention the Philosopher's Stone again!" Edward, who was silent, suddenly burst out and punched the table again.
Hughes was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that he was wrong. Edward must have emerged something from Dr. Mark's books.
Seeing the reaction of the two brothers, Xius had a bad premonition in his heart: "Ed! What's going on? β
Edward's face was full of hideousness, and when he heard Hughes ask, he struggled for a long time and let out a long breath. Like a deflated ball, he sat back on the stool.
Theseus's eyes narrowed, and he turned back to the guard who was standing at the door at a loss, "You go out first." β
The two guards were shocked when they heard this, knowing that what they were going to talk about below might involve military secrets. Hurriedly saluted and exited.
"What the hell is going on? Ed! "Hughes did the opposite of Edward, sternly. He also realized that Edward might have revealed some big secret.
"I finally understand why Dr. Marco hates the Philosopher's Stone so much." Edward's voice was soft, as if he were talking to himself.
Hughes didn't speak, but listened intently. He understood that Edward seemed to be impolite at this time, but in fact, his mind was shaken too much.
"Hey! Do you know what the Philosopher's Stone is made of? Edward asked mockingly.
Without waiting for Theseus to answer, Edward slammed the table again, and the expression on his face became angry again: "It's human!" It's made of living people! β
"Our brother has been chasing the Philosopher's Stone, but I didn't expect to find something like this!" Edward yelled as if he were catharsis, and when he finished speaking, he was once again dejected in his chair.
He has been fighting for the restoration of his brother's body, and his greatest hope is that it is so evil, which is contrary to his moral values. Between his brother's body and his inherent sense of morality, Edward was confused.
Theseus's eyes widened instantly when he heard this conclusion.
He really didn't expect that the Philosopher's Stone would actually be made of people!
Hughes suddenly realized that during the Annihilation of Ishbal, the military headquarters was already secretly studying the Philosopher's Stone. And according to rumors, alchemists in some countries have already used the Philosopher's Stone.
Hughes was shocked.
The military department is making the Philosopher's Stone out of living people!
As soon as this thought appeared, he was horrified. Suddenly he had the feeling of being caught in a great vortex. All kinds of speculation about the military department in the past suddenly became like a joke.
He had only seen the decay of the military department before, but he didn't expect the military department to be so cruel.
Xius raised his head suddenly, and his voice was fierce: "Edward, no one should sue sΓΉ about this matter, you know!" β
Edward, who had just come to his senses, couldn't help but be confused: "What's wrong?" β
Xiusi's face was full of sternness: "This matter may involve military secrets, and once it is leaked, it will definitely bring great turmoil!" β
Edward was smart, and he immediately thought of Dr. Marco, who had been a member of the Philosopher's Stone Project. Since the military department has studied the Stone of the Successful Sage, how can it not be used? And how can this kind of cruel experiment be known to outsiders.
Despite his young age, Edward knew immediately how dangerous the situation was.
"I know, I'll destroy it as soon as possible, I won't sue anyone else!" Edward replied in a deep voice.
Hughes breathed a sigh of relief. But his heart was heavy, and he felt that there was a thick cloud above his head!
β¦β¦
The next day, when Su Chong came out of the dormitory assigned by the military department. I saw the military car parked at the door.
Henry sat in the back seat and beckoned to him, motioning for him to get into the car.
After more than two years of hard work, it was to enter the core of the military department in order to understand the territory and train into a formation, and now it finally has an eyebrow. Su Zhong no longer hesitated and got into the car directly.
Henry had a smile on his face, but unlike the usual fakeness, this time the smile was more real.
"Cologne, congratulations. This mission has been completed very well, and the military department has already issued you a reward. Your rank has been promoted to Major, and Wen JiΓ n has already descended to my office. After coming back in a while, come with me to the military headquarters and go through the relevant procedures. β
Su Zhong frowned with impatience: "Procedures? How long will it take? β
The corners of Henry's mouth curled, and he smiled with satisfaction: "I know that you are afraid of trouble, I have already asked others to handle those cumbersome essays for you, and you just need to sign it wherever you go, hand over the old epaulettes, and get a new military uniform." β
Su Zhong snorted, his frowning brow loosened, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Henry's epaulettes.
"You've upgraded too?"
The smile on Henry's face was even bigger: "I have a capable man like you under my command, and I will follow suit." Now he has been promoted to brigadier general. β
Su Zhong sighed, his eyes began to drift, and he fell into his own thoughts again.
Henry glanced at Su Zhong helplessly, thinking that his subordinate was doing very well, but he was too addicted to alchemy and couldn't communicate.
His other subordinates immediately congratulated him as soon as he arrived at the office today. The words of flattery are endless.
But Su Zhong just let out an oh and disappeared.
However, he was not angry about it, but appreciated it even more. This kind of person who can't communicate but can do things is a good subordinate. No matter how good the flattery is, a subordinate who can't do a good job will not benefit himself at all.
Just like this time, it was because of this Mu Ne's subordinates that he took a step forward in his rank. He relied more and more on Su Chong.
Su Chong's face was expressionless, but part of his mind was constantly calculating the lava alchemy. What he said yesterday was not a lie. Riol's giant formation really gave him a lot of inspiration. However, Su Chong's brain was opened very well, and his calculation power was very fast, and after a night of thinking, he had roughly completed the finishing work.
At this time, this obsessive expression is his usual disguise. However, after a long time of disguise, Su Chong gradually appeared, and this kind of addiction to alchemy was actually not disguised. This is just a part of his nature, and it can be regarded as his true colors.
The afterglow swept over the look of appreciation in Henry's eyes, and Su Zhong sneered. Come on, wait until you touch the core and calculate the safe center point, and you can do some other actions.
Thinking about it, Su Chong put all his energy into the perfection of lava alchemy. This constant study and thinking has become a part of him.
There was silence in the car. Turn left and right, and soon the car will be at the place.
It's a hidden alleyway. On both sides are huge high walls, blocking the view of those around them.
"Where is this?" Su Zhong didn't react for a while.
"Fifth Institute." Henry got out of the car first.
Su Zhong suddenly remembered, this fifth research institute is the base of the military department to conduct the sage stone research.
There is a small door on the walls on both sides that allows a single person to pass through the guΓ².
Henry came to the small iron gate on the right, and the bell rattled a few times.
A small opening opened near the doorknob, and Henry slipped a piece of paper with the president's seal inside, turned back to Su Chong, and motioned for him to follow.
Su Chong glanced back at the high wall on the other side. I knew in my heart that on the right was the Fifth Research Institute, and on the left was probably a heavy prison. These two small iron gates facing each other are probably the entrances and exits for sending test materials.
The iron door opened, and Su Zhong quickly followed.
The door was opened by a middle-aged man with a stiff expression, the other party's eyes were indifferent, and he closed the door quickly. Then he walked to a small room not far away without saying a word, and ignored the two of them.
Henry seemed to be surprised, and led Su Zhong into the quiet and cold Fifth Real Room by himself.
There were no words along the way, and soon the two came to a huge room. The empty room doesn't look like a real room at all, but rather like a factory floor.
There was nothing in the room except for a half-human tall pillar in the middle and a refining array.
"Hey, hey. Here it comes? I hope this time it's not like the same waste last time! β
A voice with a sinister smile came from the passage across from them.
Henry frowned, with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and start real!" β
"Hehe, good, good. You military lords are really troublesome. Always wasting my time with some rubbish. The other party spoke quite arrogantly, and only after walking out of the dark passage did he show his figure.
It was a short, ugly old man with a grim smile on his face and a look of superiority in his eyes. The most conspicuous thing was his gleaming golden dentures. The difference in expression and appearance made his every move seem quite obscene.
After the other party glanced at Su Chong disdainfully, he didn't talk nonsense and waved his hand. Five people walked out of the passage behind him.
These people are uniformly short, white vests, military boots and trousers. The age is not young, forty or fifty years old. But he is agile in his movements, his eyes are fierce and fierce, and he looks like a trained outlaw.
Each dragged two prisoners in gray prison uniforms. The five of them acted quickly, and soon put these people in different corners of the refining array.
The obscene old man stood on the edge of the big array, looking at Henry with his chin held high: "Keep your eyes open, this will be a miracle technique you have never seen before!" β
Then he glared at Su Chong with malice: "Don't pee your pants in fear!" β
After saying that, he squatted down and pressed his hands on the training formation.
Airplanes!
There was a muffled sound, and the entire refining array was filled with red light.
Yes......
A terrible scream rang out suddenly.
The prisoners who had been put into the refining array screamed for the first time, their faces contorted, their bodies constantly struggling, obviously in extreme pain.
Henry was startled by the sudden scream and couldn't help but fall backwards. But a hand reached out behind him, against his shoulder, and held him steadily, so as not to be ugly.
When I looked back, I happened to see Su Chong with his eyes shining.
Henry couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his self-proclaimed iron-blooded indifference was not as good as an alchemist.
After thinking of Su Chong's achievements, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, a madman is a madman. He himself had fought on the battlefield, and it was not the first time he had seen this refining formation, and he was still shocked. As a subordinate who is addicted to alchemy, it is the first time for him to see this kind of fierce experiment, and he is not uncomfortable at all!
How did he know that Su Chong had gone through two lives and killed so many people. But they were all enemies, and he was very good to his own people. And these people are obviously death row prisoners, and they deserve it, so he naturally won't have any mercy.
