Chapter 29: Making Trouble (I)
What happens if a person who is running fast suddenly gets his feet stumbled?
Zhang Shen tried, and thenβ
The hard fall made Scar almost faint and was directly subdued.
"Scar, you can talk about it now." Zhang Shen walked up to him, squatted down, and pretended to sigh a few times, "Why bother, you must be taught a lesson to be honest." β
Filled with reluctance and anger, Scar then held his hands and feet firmly to the invisible rope that he couldn't do even if he wanted to punch someone in the face.
"Army lackeys, phew!"
Zhang Shen avoided a mouthful of bloody phlegm and lost the patience to continue to deal with him.
With a knife slash, Scar's head tilted and he fainted completely.
"Thought I wouldn't know if you didn't say it, what a stupid human being." Muttering a few words very much, Zhang Shen put his eyes on Scar's right arm.
Tear pull~~ tore off his entire sleeve, and the pattern on Scar's right arm completely entered Zhang Shen's line of sight.
This is...... Zhang Shen's pupils shrank: The refining array of the Sage's Stone?! No, it's a semi-finished product!!
Interestingly, the refining array of the Philosopher's Stone was actually added to the human body in the form of a tattoo, and it was an incomplete version of the alteration...... Good idea!
At this moment, Zhang Shen knew how the previous feeling of danger came from.
Strictly speaking, there are two steps in the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, one of which is destruction; The second is refining.
"Sabotage" is well understood. Only by destroying the original structure of human flesh and soul can the next step be carried out.
And the semi-finished alchemy array tattooed on Scar's right arm is a clever way to complete only the first step of the structure, so that when it is urged, it will have a powerful destructive effect on the human body!
In addition, due to the high "priority" of the Philosopher's Stone Refining Array at the level of the Law Formula, Scar's right arm is outstanding for alchemy!
"National Alchemist Killer...... Tsk, no wonder. β
If he hadn't felt that this guy was still a little useful, Zhang Shen would have felt the urge to kill.
Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Zhang Shen took out a talisman from his pocket dedicated to peeking on other people's memories and activated it.
"Let me see who's behind it!" Zhang pointed to Ska's eyebrows and began to browse his memories.
A moment later β
Zhang Shen's expression became strange.
Ska, a member of the Ishbal tribe. Ten years ago, the army of Amestories waged war against Ishbal, during which they carried out inhumane massacres. In that massacre, Scar lost all of his people, including his only relative, his brother. Scar received the right arm from his brother and, having escaped death, set out on a path of revenge.
In the massacre of that war, the national alchemist played a very dishonorable role, and even more so the murderer of his brother. As a result, the state alchemist also became his primary target for revenge.
Zhang Shen was assassinated entirely because of the skin he wore called "National Alchemist". The reason why he was only able to get the silver timepiece was found out by Scar was that the latter overheard a conversation with one of the guards.
Groove ...... Zhang Shen looked embarrassed.
Well, that's not right!!
When I did the assessment yesterday, there were only five people on the scene. Arya can be ruled out directly. The voice that Scar heard was relatively young, and the clerk was clearly not, and it was ruled out.
He heard the conversation about six o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he was at the restaurant, and the two men came later, so happened to sit next to him, and he happened to hear it again...... I just said it to him on purpose!
Although the two guards are very suspicious, they will do this kind of thing, if it has nothing to do with the president, heh.
After carefully reading Scar's memory several times and making sure that nothing was missed, Zhang Shen showed a sneer.
"Cyborg, Kim Bradley, Fury of the Seven Deadly Sins...... Ha, I didn't go to you, but you took the initiative to find the door. β
After figuring out that the scarred man in front of him was just a bitter coercion who was being used and didn't know it, Zhang Shen's murderous intent towards him completely dissipated, and now he was only thinking about how to find trouble with that artificial person.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Shen took out a bottle of water, used alchemy to turn it into an ice-water mixture, and poured it over Scar's head.
Sizzle~~!
Scar shuddered, opened his eyes, and after a brief moment of confusion, a pair of red eyes stared fiercely at Zhang. If the eyes can kill, someone is afraid that they will be cut by a thousand knives.
"Ska, Ishbal...... Got this right arm from his brother and embarked on the path of revenge...... Dedicated to national alchemists...... Scar man, am I right? β
Zhang Shen slowly tore open the truth that Scar had hidden under the mask.
"Hmph, army lackeys! Kill if you want to, don't talk nonsense! Scar was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. In his opinion, sooner or later, his identity will be known by those executioners in the military department.
Zhang Shen shrugged, probably knowing what he was thinking, and added a fierce material: "You ...... yesterday"
Hearing his actions all day clearly come out of the mouths of others, Scar only felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, goosebumps arose, his face was full of incredulity, and his eyes were about to bulge.
"You, you, you ......"
"Okay, don't you, me, me." Zhang Shen took out a small horse from Scar's ghost-like gaze and sat down loudly, "I have only arrived in Central City, and it has only been a few days since I arrived in Amistolis. The qualifications of the National Alchemist only arrived yesterday evening, and if you think about it, you must have been taken advantage of......"
Scar escaped death for ten years, and he is naturally not a fool to be able to live to this day, so he suppressed the fear and other mixed emotions in his heart and calmed down to think about it, and soon realized that he had indeed been cheated by someone. Even, I was afraid that my whereabouts had long been known to the military department, but for some reason, I just sat back and watched myself attack and kill the national alchemist and did not take action to clean myself up.
After a long silence, Scar asked in a hoarse and low voice, "Say, what do you want me to do?" β
The methods of the person in front of him made him frightened, but what he wanted to do more was to kill all the alchemists of all countries and even destroy the military headquarters, for this reason, even if he cooperated with the demon to fall into the abyss and sink forever!
The corners of his mouth hooked, and he snapped his fingers, and the rope of the wind that bound Scar's limbs disappeared with a sound. The latter propped up his hands, jumped up, and wiped the blood from his face with a straight faceβit was a fall.
Pretending not to see someone's jealous and hateful eyes, Zhang Shen said: "According to my speculation, all this is the ghost of the current President Kim Bradley, and that guy may have noticed that I have discovered his true identity and wants to use a knife to kill people to test my ability." β
"I'm sure I'll settle this account with him."
"But I'm new to the city, and I don't know much about the situation in Central City, can you give some advice?"
"With your strength, it's no problem to kill him directly, there's no need to worry so much about it." Scar looked condescendingly at the somewhat unruly guy in front of him, with deep jealousy in his eyes, "I can feel that your power must be more than what it shows, and I've never heard of it, who are you?" β
"Kill him? No, no, no, now is not the time. All I have to do now is make some trouble for him, and then lead out the person behind him. β
"The people behind it? Judging by your name, it should be a Qingguo person. What the hell are you trying to do?! Scar's eyes were even more fearful. Zhang Sen's words made Scar even more convinced that he was not a person and had ulterior motives.
Zhang Shen rolled his eyes: "It doesn't mean anything to you to investigate my origins. You just need to know that working with me will only do you good and there will be no harm. Don't you want to kill all the alchemists of the country and destroy the army that slaughtered the Ishbals? Obey me, that day will not be far away! β
Scarpi tugged at the corners of his mouth with a non-smiling smile, noncommittal.
"If you're just trying to cause trouble for Kim Bradley, there's a good way to do it right now."
"Oh, let's hear it."
"Central Prison ......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Divide............ Cut............ Line...............
Grand Presidential Palace. Den.
During the lunch break, Kim Bradley was drinking tea at noon.
In addition to him, there is also a woman with a hot body and a rather bewitching dress.
Don't think about it, the two of them didn't do anything about human inheritance in the study.
Nor is it a reporting exercise.
Judging from the words and deeds of the two, they are impressively on an equal footing!
"I said, if you let me look like this, I'm not afraid of affecting my reputation as a president?" The woman in a black tight OL outfit leans lazily against the back of her chair, revealing her exaggerated curves that make your heart beat faster.
Kim Bradley glanced at her, and there was no trace of mood swings in her right eye, like a pool of stagnant water.
"It is very likely that the Qing man named Zhang Shen saw through my true identity, but it's a pity that Scar never missed the attack and killed him, but instead startled the snake."
"Scar's waste, we've been raising him, it's a waste of resources." The woman took a sip, and her expression became serious, "Zhang Shen's origin is mysterious, but it appears at this juncture, it is very suspicious, and it must be investigated immediately." Father's plan has reached a critical juncture, and we have finally caught the Elric brothers' group of spoilers, and we must not let him be ruined! β
"After the failure of Scar's assassination, Zhang Shen disappeared from our sight. Not in the library, not where he lives. It's a big trouble to find someone. Kim Bradley suddenly remembered something, "What about the defense of the Central Prison, I'm afraid he might release Mastan's gang and cause us trouble." β
The woman's eyebrows furrowed, and then she relaxed: "Don't worry, there are Gratony (gluttony) and Rust (lust), as well as the alchemy array set up by my father, none of them can escape." β
