"Luna? Sure enough, I still have to use this name to be nice for a woman! Hanging up the phone, Liu Hong looked at the public phone in front of him and curled the corners of his mouth: "It's not the moon I chose, it seems that you have a big heart!" ”

Ignoring a passer-by waiting outside the payphone, Liu Hong dialed another number.

"This is the 'Devil's Lair', who is it?" The phone was quickly connected, and a slightly gruff man's voice came. But the voice is rough and rough, and there are still honorifics that should be there.

"I'm Liu Hong, looking for Gled!" Without talking nonsense, Liu Hong said in a low voice, and at the same time glared at the man outside the public phone booth who knocked on the glass twice.

When the man saw Liu Hong glaring at him, he immediately scolded and wanted to forcibly open the door of the public phone booth, but after Liu Hong flashed the flying knife in his hand, he immediately stopped scolding, and then ran to another phone booth without looking back. That phone booth is a kilometer away!

"The boss hasn't been in the 'Devil's Lair' lately!" The rough man's voice on the other end of the phone was replaced by a woman's voice, but the voice was not delicate: "If you have anything to tell me, I will convey it on my behalf!" ”

After being silent for a while, Liu Hong looked at the second branch library not far away, and said with a smile: "It's nothing important, I'll call you in ten days!" ”

After saying that, Liu Hong hung up the phone directly. The phone booth was given to a woman who came in a hurry.

Coming to the second floor, Liu Hong came to Edward's place under the guidance of the staff, took the book they picked out and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Edward, did you do what I said?" ”

"You said that you use internal force to nourish the body? I've been doing it! Edward buried his head in the pile of books, and did not mean to look up at all, but his answer did not seem confused at all, and it was clear that his thoughts were very clear. Or maybe reading a book is just a cover-up!

Hehe chuckled, Liu Hong put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "What, do you think I'm not happy to hide something?" ”

Closing the book in his hand vigorously, Edward looked at Liu Hong and asked seriously, "Why?" ”

Looking at the serious Edward in front of him, the smile on Liu Hong's face also turned serious: "These things are not the time for you to know!" Let's travel! Chase your goal! You've come out of hell, so don't step into it so soon. ”

Looking at Liu Hong wordlessly and seriously, Edward swore that Liu Hong would never give up if he didn't say anything.

After looking at each other for a while, Liu Hong pressed Edward's head hard and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you were going to Leor this time?" I'll tell you when your journey is over! ”

"Don't press my head! It won't grow tall! Slapping Liu Hong's hand on his head, Edward said in an angry tone, then stood up and walked outside: "Al, let's go!" I'm going to report to the Central Administration Office! ”

When Edward brought him to the door, Liu Hong heard him whisper: "It's decided, right?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Hong's answer, Edward closed the door directly. I don't seem to be looking forward to it at all.

"Brother" Alphonse stretched out his hand, but his cry really couldn't keep Edward, because it was too quiet! Even Liu Hong didn't hear it very clearly.

"Looks like my words have inadvertently revealed something!" Pick up the books you put down again, these books are all things that Liu Hong hadn't read when he was in Lenny's second library before! After turning the two pages, Liu Hong found that it was full of some sage stone refining theories and some refining materials described by metaphors.

"Liu Hong, when we came back from Leor, was it time to step into hell again?" Putting down the hand stretched out in mid-air, Alphonse turned his head and looked at Liu Hong with the empty eyes of his helmet: "Or that we haven't come out of hell!" ”

"Al" Liu Hong was suddenly surprised by Al's keenness! Is this still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old?

"It's decided!" Alphonse suddenly stood up and said, "When my brother and I come back, you can tell us!" ”

Then, like Edward, he snatched the door without waiting for Liu Hong's answer.

These two children! Liu Hong shook his head with a little crying and laughing. After a boring look at the book in his hand, Liu Hong walked to the window, looked at Edward and Alphonse who were walking out with small boxes, and said loudly: "It's decided!" I'll be back when you come back! ”

Glancing back at Liu Hong, who was watching them upstairs, Edward and Alphonse smiled and beckoned.

In the next few days, Edward and Alvons seemed to have a mission on their hands, and only after meeting occasionally did they talk, of course, it was Edward who complained that a certain colonel kept calling people and didn't even give him a little rest!

However, in the past two days, the atmosphere in Chuo City has gradually become tense! Because there's a murderer in Central City! Either freeze or steam people! Note that it is steamed! It's like being steamed directly by boiling steam! It can be said that you won't be able to eat after seeing each other! It's disgusting!

Passing by a street corner surrounded by guards, Liu Hong glanced at the body of the deceased, and then frowned.

"It's cruel!" A familiar voice came from the side. After looking around, Liu Hong really found a piece of steel armor!

"Looks like the plot has begun!" Without saying hello to Edward and his brothers, Liu Hong walked straight in the direction of the slums!

Sure enough, Liu Hong found a broken stone pillar carved with patterns next to the garbage heap where he had talked to Isaac! This didn't exist before!

After comparing the patterns, Liu Hong stepped forward and launched the refining at the top of the pillar, decomposing a small iron box! I looked at the box carefully in front of the sunlight, and sure enough, I found that some patterns would appear after viewing it from different angles!

This is the way Liu Hong and Isaac communicate! If you just open the box, then inside is a useless blank paper! And there is a mechanism inside, as soon as you open the white paper, the whole thing will start to spontaneously combustion, and the speed is very fast!

"Three o'clock! Next to the Third Research Institute! Next to the third residence! This is what the patterns on the top of the box are superimposed.

"I've kept you waiting!" Liu Hong smiled and rerefined the box into the pillar, and modified the pattern by the way.

Meditation is not a substitute for sleep, because there is no rest for the brain at that time! It's just that the body has been warmed by internal forces! But with Liu Hong's current ability, you will be more than enough to sleep for five hours a day! So Liu Hong meditated until about two o'clock before putting on his clothes and setting off for the address he had obtained in the slum beforehand.

Dressed in a long black suit with a black gentleman's hat and a gray scarf, it can be said that he is dressed like a mafia boss! And while it is deterrent, in the dark of night, this outfit is not easy to be spotted!

After standing for long, Liu Hong opened his eyes and looked at the side of a person who was also dressed almost from a distance: "Long time no see!" Solis! ”

"Long time no see!" A familiar voice spat out from a mouth barely visible under the hat: "It's so hot here!" I'm going to buy some ice cubes to cool off! ”

"It's nice to buy some ice cubes to cool off! But I can't bear it anymore! We are human after all! Liu Hong looked very concerned, if it wasn't at this point in time, then there would be no difference between greetings and greetings with old friends!

"That's just as well!" Isaac nodded in agreement, and then directly crossed Liu Hong, and the corners of their clothes touched under the cold wind in the early morning: "But if there is less ice, I will feel unhappy!" ”

"Really, just be careful not to catch a cold!" Liu Hong waved his hand without looking back, and then walked forward.

After walking a few steps, Liu Hong stopped. Not far in front of him was a very familiar research institute that he hadn't been to yet - the Third Research Institute!

"Let's go in after dawn! It's a country of honor, alchemists aren't. Smiling and looking at the signboard of the Third Research Institute, Liu Hong lowered the brim of his hat a little, and then suddenly accelerated like a ghost at night, bypassing a drunk who was staggering closer, and then disappeared into the night!

"Is this the guy Isaac is working with?" The drunk man suddenly came to his senses after Liu Hong left, and walked forward with firm steps, completely without the previous stumbling posture.

But when he put his hand in his pocket, he froze instantly! A note and a throwing knife are in his pocket!

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

"Frozen Alchemist?" Roy Mastan looked at the information in his hand and frowned. As a soldier who survived the war of annihilation in Ishbal, especially the national alchemist! How could you not know the Alchemist of Ice? Especially this alchemist who is the opposite of his abilities!

"That's right!" Kim Bradley stood in front of the map of Amestlis and said to Roy with a kind face, "Colonel Roy." I want you to be in charge of directing the pursuit! ”

Straightening his body, Roy said with a serious face: "As long as it's your order!" ”

"Hey, thanks to you in Central City, I have someone I can trust with confidence." The kindness on Kim Bradley's face did not change at all: "Ah! By the way, that young man is also in Central City, so you can rest assured! ”

"The boy? Couldn't be! "The boy who can be called Kim Bradley, a big president, is the only one in Roy's impression!

"Yes, it's Fullmetal Alchemist—Edward Elric!" Kim Bradley said Edward's full name with a serious face.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Under the bright moonlight, Edward sat on the roof of the inn and said helplessly: "Really, Colonel Mastan is really a messenger!" ”

"Yes! The ticket to Leol is going to be refunded again! Alphonse was also helpless.

"There is no way, it can only be solved as soon as possible! Al. Edward stood up and looked at the deserted street with no pedestrians, and said to Alphonse with a determined expression.

"Hmm!" Alphonse nodded vigorously.

But the firmness on Edward's face didn't last long!

"In other words, it hasn't been long since Liu Hongcai became a national alchemist, right? Do I want to take him with me, as a senior? Edward suddenly tapped his left hand and looked at Alphonse with a look of thought of a good idea.

"Isn't that right?" Alphonse scratched his head a little unnaturally, but his tone didn't seem so firm! It must have been Edward who broke him!
