Chapter 34: Are You Sure You Really Understand Humanity?
Seeing this magical scene, the black cat suddenly barked at Ah Xu, and Ah Xu understood what the black cat meant-whether she could use the power of Haruhi Suzumiya to turn her back into a human, or at least she could speak human words.
In fact, Ah Xu had already tried it just now, but he couldn't do it at all. It seems that Haruhi Suzumiya, as a defective god, can't understand how cats become humans, so she doesn't have this option at all.
Ah Xuan could only explain regretfully to the black cat, and then said, "If you want to be able to speak, at least you have to wait for us to go back." Let the shamisen also join the group to give your cat language a translation patch. β
The black cat fell on Nina's back and followed Nina into a river of grief.
"Although Suzumiya Haruhi can't do it, but in this world, there may be such a possibility." Ah Xuan said suddenly.
The black cat raised her head, her eyes were a little puzzled, she had also read this story, until the end, the alchemy of the synthetic beast restoring the human body had not been developed.
"Alphonse." Ah Xuan said a name, "Extract the soul." β
The black cat's spirit was shocked, if she learned this alchemy of extracting souls, then as long as she found her body, wouldn't she be able to restore her human body?
She didn't know where her body had gone, but now she had a viable goal.
So when Lisa came, Ah Xuan directly asked Lisa about Edward and Alphonse's whereabouts.
"You ...... Know our language? Lisa was very surprised, the girl named Yuki Nagato had been surprised by the speed at which she learned languages, but she was not too shocked, after all, she also knew that there were always some geniuses in the world, maybe Yuki Nagato was a genius in languages.
But after only one day, how did it seem that everyone understood their language?
And he speaks it very fluently...... It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, she always has a sense of disobedience.
Yuki Nagato stuttered because she was introverted and unfamiliar with the pronunciation she had just learned. However, after the translation plug-in, everyone's words will be automatically converted into the local dialect, and even the tone will change according to the individual, so it is natural that you will be very fluent, and you will have no problem applying for the announcer exam directly.
And the sense of disobedience that Lisa felt was precisely because the shape of several people's mouths did not match the words they spoke. The translation plugin only translates the language, not the lip shape.
Ah Xuan feels that this is also beneficial, for some people who know lip language, they can never "see" what they are saying from a distance.
Ah Xuan didn't explain anything, pretending to smile mysteriously, Lisa hid the doubt in her heart, and said to Ah Xu: "Scar is still hiding in the city, and the Elric brothers are also helping to hunt them down, if you have something to do with them, I can help you tell them...... I would like to ask, do you have anything to do with them? β
When I was bored in the past two days, Ah Xu was also fighting the plot with the black cat. According to the development of the story they have seen, the two brothers Edward and Alphonse lost badly in their first confrontation with Scar, and were almost killed, Edward's mechanical arm was destroyed, and Alphonse's body was destroyed, so Edward had to go back to his hometown to find Winley to repair his body.
However, the insertion of Ah Xuan and others repelled Scar, and Edward and Alphonse did not have an accident, so they did not go back.
So Ah Xuan and the black cat decided that there was no way to make a reference for any plot, and since the day they came, the plot has been changed by them!
It doesn't matter about this, Haruhi Suzumiya and Tsuruya are extremely excited - what does it mean to know the plot, only the unknown is the most interesting!
In the face of Lisa's inquiry, Ah Xuan did not hide it, and said directly: "I heard that the Alchemist of Fullmetal is a very powerful genius national alchemist, so I want to ask him about alchemy. β
"Okay, I'll convey your request to the Fullmetal Alchemist...... However, I can't guarantee whether he will come. "What Lisa said is also the case, although the national alchemist claims to be the lackey of the state, but he is only forced to participate in the national action.
Other times, their degree of freedom is still relatively high.
β¦β¦
"You mean, they suddenly learned our language? Still studying alchemy? β
Lisa reported the matter to Roy in detail, and Roy fell into deep thought, judging from the surveillance of the past few days, this group of people was almost like they had come to visit, and the places they went to every day were almost untouched, aimless. From the list of books they applied to Lisa, from the very beginning of the prophecy books, it seems that after roughly understanding them, the rest is all alchemy books, from basic to advanced, covering various fields and types of alchemy.
On the surface, these people really don't have any suspicions.
"I guess they suddenly learned our language, which seems to be an alchemy unique to their country...... Because I noticed that the shape of their mouth didn't match the pronunciation of their speech. Lisa also knew lip language, and after thinking about it carefully, she noticed where her sense of disobedience came from.
As an alchemist of flames, Roy naturally understands the mystery of alchemy, although he has never heard of such a thing, but if it is explained by foreign alchemy, it seems that nothing is impossible.
"Then tell Brother SΓΉ Erric of their request, and let them decide for themselves whether they want to go or not."
"Yes."
When Lisa informs Edward of Ash's request, Edward immediately agrees. He was also curious about the people, and Roy told him that Hugh Tucker had entrusted Nina to them, but Hugh Tucker didn't know them, so why did he entrust Nina to them?
And because of the language barrier before, I couldn't thank them, but this time I also want to express my gratitude for saving Nina for them.
Edward bought some gifts for Nina, because he didn't know the preferences of this group of foreigners, so in order to show friendship, he brought a batch of souvenirs to Ah Xuan and the others.
But after I came, I found that my souvenirs were all in vain, and no one cared about those souvenirs at all.
"Is this Alphonse? There's really only one piece of armor! Haruhi Suzumiya and Tsuruya surrounded Alphonse without any scruples, touching the cold armor, knocking on it, and there was an empty echo inside, if it wasn't for Ah Xu's suppression, the two of them might have climbed onto Alphons's body and took Alphonse apart and studied it carefully.
Haruhi Suzumiya and Tsuruya saw Alphons' physical problems at once, which made Edward and Alphonse vigilant, but the other party did not show the slightest malice, and was surrounded by a group of girls, touching and touching, Edward and Alphons, who had never seen this kind of battle, seemed at a loss.
"Edward, I'd like to ask you how exactly you secured your brother's soul to his armor?" Ah Xu asked.
After a moment of silence, Edward looked at Ah Xu, and he asked, "What do you want to do?" β
Ah Xuan spread his hands and said, "As you can see, I am very interested in your alchemy. β
Because Ah Xuan and the others saved Nina, Edward had a good impression of Ah Xuan and the others, Edward's eyes looked at Nina next to Ah Xu, and frowned: "You want to use this method to save Nina?" Impossible, synthetic ...... The refining of the Synth Beast is to merge the two into one, and even the soul will fuse, which is irreversible. Moreover, even if you extract the soul, it is also the soul of the synthetic beast, and you can't extract Nina's soul alone, and you don't have a physical ......."
Love and did not say any more, and looked at his brother Alphonse. Although Alphonse's soul was fixed to the armor and kept Alphonse for the time being, Edward did not know if this situation was safe or not.
If a person doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, how does he survive - if he doesn't need a soul to survive, then wouldn't the world have been filled with souls a long time ago?
He didn't say it explicitly, and in order not to worry Alphons, this question had always been buried deep in his heart.
Without ensuring the safety of this state, he very much disagreed with Ah Xu's idea.
"What if you add the human body to it?" Ah Xuan spoke of the pain in Edward's heart.
The black cat suddenly understood Ah Xu's idea, and used the human body to refine her **, and then used the extraction of the soul to fix her soul back to **, so that she became a human.
She looked at Ah Xu's eyes soft and moved, but she didn't want it to be so, the price of refining the human body was too great, and she wouldn't let everyone pay such a huge price for her...... Moreover, according to the story, there seems to be no successful example of human body refining.
The black cat jumped on Ah Xu's lap, scratched Ah Xu's hand, and shook his head.
Ah Xuan stroked the black cat, the black cat would always scratch him before, but this time it didn't react. Ah Xuan said: "I know what you are thinking, don't worry, I won't pay any price for you." β
The black cat thought about it, kicked Ah Xu, jumped away, and she retracted her previous touch.
Edward and Alphonse, who were caught in painful memories, did not see the black cat's anomalous appearance, and Edward kept his face calm.
Alphonse put his hand on Edward's shoulder and called softly, "Brother." β
Edward shook his head at Ah Xu, then ripped off his clothes, revealing the mechanical hands and legs inside, and said, "I, Alphons, this is the punishment we have triggered the forbidden realm. I advise you to give up this kind of thinking, you can't become a human at all! β
"No, what you want is a resurrection...... And all I want is a human body. Ah Xuan emphasized.
This is fundamentally different, they want to resurrect their dead mother, but when their mother's life characteristics have completely disappeared, the resurrection is naturally impossible.
But what if you just need one?
A complete human being**.
"Understanding, decomposing, and recomposing, these are the three steps of alchemy. If you fail to refine it, do you think you can't do it? Humans are extremely complex, are you sure you really understand them? β
Kotomi said quietly, and Edward and Alphonse, who asked, were speechless.
