So Ah Xuan and the others could only use the most stupid method - to find all the small towns they passed by one by one. Mark is a national alchemist who is well-versed in medicine, and was once involved in the development and manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone, but his inner conscience led him to defect and go incognito.

If the background of the story in Ah Xu's memory is not on a business trip, then it can be inferred that Mark is a very kind person, even if such a person is incognito, he is bound to use his ability to heal the people around him, so the search scope of Ah Xuan and others has also been greatly reduced.

Everywhere I went, I asked the locals for a doctor or someone who had treated someone else.

"Ah Xu, we seem to be being followed."

On the train, Ah Xuan and the others were about to go to the next town, and Tsuruya suddenly said to Ah Xu inadvertently, looking at the scenery outside the window, on the surface, it seemed that it was normal to laugh with Ah Xu.

Ah Xu smiled as if he had heard something interesting, and did not react abnormally, without even looking around, he touched the black cat lying beside him and said, "I already knew." ”

From the time they returned to Edward's house with Edward, the black cat noticed that they were being followed. If it weren't for the fact that the black cat had a human soul in its body, she would be a very ordinary black cat without any combat power, so it would naturally not attract the vigilance and attention of others.

Others will avoid the gaze of Ah Xuan and others, but they will never deliberately avoid the gaze of an ordinary, non-human pet cat.

It's a pity that Ah Xu's cat can really communicate with Ah Xu.

When he noticed the tracking, the black cat's attitude changed, just like an ordinary domestic cat, lying in Ah Xu's arms. The black cat hates himself the most for being really treated as a cat, and when he sees the black cat's behavior, Ah Xu already knows the abnormality.

With the help of the cover of Ah Xu's body, the black cat used his paws to write on Ah Xu's legs, it seemed that Ah Xu was bowing his head to tease his cat, but in fact he was communicating with the black cat in a low voice.

This world can't be speculated by common sense.,So even though the stalker is far away from him.,But in order to prevent the other party from having any special means of listening.,Ah Xu still asked Kasuga to close his translation plug-in alone.。

"How many people are there?" Ah Xuan asked in a low voice while caressing the black cat.

The black cat wrote a 1 on Ah Xu's leg, and then wrote that the other party was the woman in black sitting in the fourth row diagonally behind Edward.

Ash, Kasuga, and Tsuruya sat in one row, with Edward and Alphonse sitting across from them, and the fourth row behind Edward facing them was facing them, just opposite Ash.

The woman had a bewitching figure and was dressed as a noblewoman. Quietly drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, nothing out of the ordinary.

Ah Xu looked at her with the same gaze that the majority of male compatriots saw when they saw the beauty, the other party raised his head, Ah Xu blinked lightly, and then his ears were grabbed by Haruhi, and Haruhi was so unhappy that he broke Ah Xu's head. Originally, she was sitting in the innermost part, looking at the scenery of the other world outside the window, and then regardless of her own image, she climbed out from under the table, achieved the outermost position of Ah Xu, and squeezed Ah Xuan inside.

Then he glared at the woman, who smiled gracefully and read the newspaper.

In terms of momentum, Suzumiya Spring is fully downwind.

Ah Xuan praised: "The acting skills are so good, if I don't award you a movie queen, I'm sorry for the audience!" ”

"Really? Is it! Haruhi Suzumiya still looks like a grumpy little couple, but his tone is very excited.

Tsuruya looked at it and complained: "It was ten points just now, but now it's six points, you have to play a full set of acts, what about your professionalism as an actor?" Eyes! Eyes! To have that kind of depressed, angry, but heartbroken, secretly sad, self-ashamed eyes! ”

"Why be ashamed of yourself?" For the last request, Haruhi Suzumiya felt a little dissatisfied.

Tsuruya looked Kasuga up and down, sighed, and said, "With your stature, in the face of such a powerful opponent, aren't you ashamed?" ”

Ignoring the muttering between the two women of Tsuruya and Kasuga, Ash and the black cat have already determined the identity of the comer-android, Rust, and also has the title of "the strongest spear".

"Want to get rid of her? Or fight with her? Tsuruya asked.

"There's no need to get rid of her, if we let her know that we've found her, wouldn't it be more troublesome for us to follow her in a more stealthy way?" Ah Xuan said calmly that Rust should have been sent to track down Edward, Edward is one of their important pillars, and will not do anything to Edward, so they are safe for the time being.

As the strongest spear, Ah Xu remembered that her hands could be long and short, extremely sharp, and her body was immortal, even if they added the combat power of the Edward brothers on their side now...... It all seems a bit tricky.

If you want to fight her, you have to surprise her by surprise.

It's on the train now, and there are no suitable conditions, so Ah Xu decided to stay still and take her for a slow walk first. Neither Ash nor Edward knew Mark, but as an important person in the development of the Philosopher's Stone, Rust must know Mark. As a defector, Rust saw that Mark could not be indifferent.

Ah Xu instructed the black cat to keep an eye on Rust's every move, and alert him as soon as Rust disappeared from following them, or shifted her target to find someone else.

Because he has been seen by Ah Xuan before, Rust's tracking is more hidden, after all, Ah Xuan has to go down at every station, if he can meet it every time, as long as it is a normal person, he will know that he is being followed.

But even so, it can't escape the black cat's counter-reconnaissance. Ah Xu and the others are running so hard for her body, and she won't let anyone stand in the way of her recovery. Along the way, the black cat, who always mentioned twelve points of vigilance, and her keen observation ability allowed her to easily detect the trail of Rust's tracking.

Moreover, as a cat at this time, she also has a plug-in - that is, a keen sense of smell, Rust's body has a unique perfume smell, even from two carriages, the black cat can detect it.

He wandered around several towns with Rust, but there was still no sign of Mark.

"Ah, are you sure Tim Mark is really in the town on this route?" Always taking advantage of the excitement and returning from the defeat, Edward was a little discouraged.

Ah Xuan shook his head and said, "Not sure." Although he remembered that it was supposed to be a small town on Edward's way home, it was a story after all, and he couldn't guarantee that Mark was in this world.

Then he added, "But that's the only clue." ”

He couldn't guarantee it, but it was the only clue they had.

The news of the arrival of the train was broadcast on the radio, and Edward stood up and rekindled his fighting spirit: "Let's keep looking!" ”

There are very few people in this town, it can be said that it is already a little deserted, and from the surrounding environment, it is also a very poor town, but there is a peaceful atmosphere.

Because there are few people, it is much easier to find people, Ah Xu asked the local staff on the platform, and the other party immediately said, "Are you looking for Dr. Marlowe?" ”

Dr. Marlowe is very famous and popular here, because in this poor town, people don't even have money to see a doctor, but Dr. Marlowe always treats everyone for free.

Following the address said by the other party, Ah Xu and the others came to a adobe house.

Ah Xu knocked on the door, and after a while, a man with an old face opened the door, looked at the stranger outside the door, with doubt and vigilance, he asked, "...... are you?"

"Tim Mark." Ah Xuan smiled and said a name.

Then Marlowe's face changed dramatically—he didn't admit himself anymore.

Mark picked up a gun in his hand, pointed it at Ah Xuan and the others, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, Tsuruya took a step forward, waved his palm to block his arm holding the gun, and the bullet grazed the door frame and flew into the air.

With one blow to block the pistol, Tsuruya leaned forward and slammed his shoulder into Mark, who was unsteady in the center, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground. The gun in his hand has fallen into the hands of Tsuruya at some point.

"Ah Xu, why do you have so many enemies, they want to kill you when they meet without even asking. Judging by the law that villains always die from talking, were you the villain here before? "Tsuruya still has the leisure to complain to Ah Xu.

"Who are you...... Why are you coming to me? Are you here to take me back? No, I don't want to go back there, please! Leave me alone! Mark's eyes were filled with deep trepidation and pain.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but we're not here to take you somewhere." Edward explained.

"Are you going to kill people?"

"We ......"

"I won't be deceived!"

Edward couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over with an impatient face, grabbing Mark's shoulder and throwing it over-the-shoulder.

"Can you calm down and talk to us now?"

Ah Xu and others rushed in, Mark's room was very simple, the space was quite large, and it didn't seem crowded to enter so many people. In the middle is a square table, where Edward, Alphonse, Ah Xu, and Mark sit together, and Haruhi Suzumiya and Tsuruya turn into bear children rummaging through the room.

In the words of Tsuruya, isn't it time to open all the boxes, cabinets, etc., every time you go to a place?

After a while, Mark's mind calmed down and he said slowly, "I can't stand it anymore! Even though it was an order from my superiors, I actually assisted in the research of that kind of thing......"

"From what I found, it says you stole something and defected. What exactly were you researching at the time? And what did you steal from there? Edward asked curiously.

"The Philosopher's Stone." Mark said in a deep voice that he didn't want to remember.

"Ah Xu, Ah Xu! Look at what this is, I found something fun! ”

Haruhi Suzumiya was holding a red thing in his hand and ran over excitedly.
