After resting at Liu Hong's house for one night, Edward and Alphonse said hello to Liu Hong and were about to leave for Leor. said that he wanted to get what he wanted to know from Liu Hong as soon as possible. Of course, Liu Hong knew what they thought, and he didn't do anything else, he just gave them a flying knife, and gave Xiuzi a flying knife!

"If you run into a youkai, try this throwing knife!" Liu Hong said to Edward in a joking tone: "This is a flying knife blessed by the gods!" ”

"Say to an alchemist, Liu Hong, is your head watered? Or was it stimulated by Lieutenant Colonel Hutz yesterday? Edward took the throwing knife that Liu Hong gave him, but Liu Hong, who was vicious in his mouth, attacked again.

"Really? Seeing that you are so happy, do you want to laugh longer? Liu Hong squinted his eyes and touched his chin.

After saying that, he approached Edward in an instant! Slapping away the blocking hand, Liu Hong tapped a few times on Edward's laughing hole, and then retreated sharply.

"Ahh An uncontrollable itch and laughter welled up from his body, and Edward hugged his stomach and laughed wildly.

"Brother!" Alphonse hurriedly went to help Edward, who was about to laugh to the ground.

"It's a little lesson, and it'll be fine in about ten minutes." Touching his chin, Liu Hong squinted his eyes and pursed his lips and smiled: "It's very healthy to smile more!" ”

The train was already roaring, and Liu Hong ignored Alphons' pleading gaze, and after sending them into the train, he returned to the city and walked towards the Third Research Institute.

Perhaps it has already been explained, when Liu Hong handed over the silver pocket watch and qualification certificate to the personnel of the institute, he immediately got the permission to enter and exit!

Of course, an escort is indispensable. But it's very humane, the escort of the institute is not a big man with three big and three rough, but a girl with a good face!

"Nanali, is this the case with the Third Research Institute?" As the escort walked around the research institute, Liu Hong said with a little disappointment. He really didn't see any projects that caught his attention in the Third Research Institute, all of which were medical studies, whether they were alchemical or not. It's a big medical research center, or rather, it's like that.

The researcher's name is Nanali Ogu, who joined the Third Research Institute a year ago, but she is not an alchemist, just an ordinary scientific researcher, more often than not, helping out or being a welcome because of her good looks.

"That's pretty much it!" Nanali said in a very affirmative tone.

But

"Almost?" Liu Hong grabbed a word that might have been added to Nanali's words: "That is, there is more?" ”

After a pause, Nanali looked around and found that no one had noticed them, and when they were all doing serious research, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Liu Hong, you are really sensitive!" But I don't know, that's what the director and they only know, and I only noticed a little bit when I took people on a tour. Don't embarrass me. ”

Looking at Nanali, who was a little nervous, Liu Hong was silent for a while, and then smiled: "Don't worry! Since you don't know, then I won't ask more, just find the director later, don't be too nervous. ”

After appeasing Nanali, Liu Hong looked at the laboratory that was being studied on the side and asked, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”

"I'll ask for this!" After a moment's hesitation, Nanali knocked on the door of the lab a few times, and then went in alone to negotiate with the people inside.

Soon after, the door was opened, and Nanali used her hand to signal Liu Hong to enter. The researchers were very unhappy at first, because the look they looked at Liu Hong outside the door was a kind of disgust, but Nanali negotiated for a while before reluctantly nodding in agreement.

"It's okay to see, but I hope Your Excellency doesn't affect our research! May I? As soon as Liu Hong entered the door, a researcher who looked like a person in charge stepped forward and warned.

"Of course! I'm just looking! Liu Hong smiled gently at him.

After receiving Liu Hong's affirmative reply, the person in charge just glanced Liu Hong up and down, and then returned to his place and continued their research.

The limbs are re-refined! In this world where alchemists exist, it is not difficult to refine a limb that exists in flesh and blood, as long as you understand the structure, then even refining a limb with no problem at all is not a problem!

This is not made by the human body! It's just an ordinary living being, just like a synthetic beast. The biggest difference between the refining of the human body and the refining of the living body is the soul! Is refining a piece of meat considered a human body?

But there is one of the biggest problems with this experiment, that is, the forged limbs cannot be transplanted into humans! Because the rejection is very big! It is possible that a disabled and healthy person will die after transplanting these refined limbs due to the overall collapse of the rejection reaction!

And now these researchers are looking at how to eliminate these rejections!

I watched it with interest for a while, but Liu Hong found that his own existence itself was an influence, and those researchers were just talking about it, and they had no intention of practicing it at all! And when we talk, I always unconsciously glance at him!

"Let's go. Let's go look elsewhere! Pouting, Liu Hong greeted Nanali with a smile, and then walked outside the laboratory: "Thank you for allowing me to come in and visit!" ”

After "Mr. Liu Hong" went out, Nanali looked at Liu Hong with worry on her face.

But Liu Hong waved his hand completely absently, because Liu Hong knew very well why those people didn't practice. Is it possible? Presenting your research in front of an outsider? It's fun enough to talk about some research-related stuff!

After walking around, Liu Hong found that he was still a little interested in refining that limb, and even if he didn't care about the rest, he really couldn't be interested, because most of them were research on diseases!

"Where's the director?" After finding no research of interest, Liu Hong smiled and asked Nanali here: "It's rude to bother and not see the owner here!" ”

"Please come with me!" Nanali took a few steps forward, stopped a step or so in front of Liu Hong, and then led her hand.

A few minutes later, Liu Hong followed Nanali to the door of the director's office of the Third Research Institute.

"Tuk Tuk!" Nanali knocked on the door first, and then shouted, "Director, are you there?" ”

"Please come in!" The old voice came from inside the door.

Pushing open the door, Liu Hong followed Nanali and stood in front of an old man sitting behind a desk frowning at a file.

"Who is this?" Raising his head, the director of the Third Research Institute glanced at Liu Hong differently, and then frowned deeper, and asked Nanali.

"This is"

"Excuse me! I'm the new alchemist - Liu Hong! There was no need for Nanali to introduce, Liu Hong stepped forward and stroked his chest.

Letting go of the frowning brows, the director of the Third Research Institute looked at Liu Hong, then stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a new alchemist!" There have been a lot of rumors about you lately! My name is Amos! Amos Caro! Nanali, pour a cup of tea, I want to talk to Mr. Liu Hong alone! ”

In response, Nanali poured a cup of tea for Liu Hong and Amos, and then left the room respectfully.

"Mr. Liu Hong, I received a letter saying that you will assist us in conducting research on medical alchemy in the future! I don't know what you're going to do? Amos and Liu Hong sat at the reception table together and asked.

"As long as they get paid, of course I don't mind cooperating! It's just that you know, alchemy is alchemy, and alchemy is alchemy! Looking at Amos, who had a calm face, as if he was chatting about homely things, Liu Hong pursed his lips and smiled.

There was no change on his face, Amos just looked at Liu Hong for a while, and then said, "Yes!" As long as you feel like you can be busy there, then go there! ”

"You're so much better than they are!" Liu Hong's smile was even brighter.

"They need research results! But I led the way in their research! A very domineering sentence came out of Amos's mouth, and that natural tone was to state a fact!

After taking a serious look at Amos, Liu Hong smiled and said, "Of course! Under your leadership, there will be research results! ”

"Then I'm sorry for you! New Alchemist! Amos smiled.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Roy, what's the matter with me?" The door to Mastan's office was pushed open, and a cheerful man burst in: "Do you miss my wife and my daughter?" ”

Reaching into his arms, a picture was pulled out and almost pressed in front of him: "Grecia and Alicia!" Oh! My angel! ”

Who else can speak in this tone but Xiuz?

"Maas!" Mastan, who was still preoccupied, couldn't help but look away when he saw Xiuz's performance: "Can you stop showing off your wife and daughter?" I already know they're good! ”

"Hmm~~~" put the photo in the hidden pocket on his chest and put it away, Xiuz touched his chin and looked at Mastan in the office and Lisa standing on the side, and suddenly smiled: "When you and Lisa get married and have children, you will be the same as me!" ”

"Please don't make such jokes, Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz!" Lisa, who was expressionless, said in an emotionless voice.

"That's it! Xiuz, I didn't invite you to talk to you about this! Mastan stopped Shuz, who was still talking, and then took out a stack of papers and put them on the table: "Look at these things!" ”

"What's that? That's why you don't shave? "As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that something was wrong! A semblance playboy like Mastan didn't even shave! And although Lisa stood to the side as usual with a cold expression and did not speak, the heavy dark circles under her eyes and the haggard in her eyes meant something!

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Brother!" Alphonse looked at Edward, who was looking out the window on the other side, and asked softly, "Did you say that this time it will be the Philosopher's Stone?" ”

"How do I know! But I'll find out until I see it! "I didn't look back, it was already dusk outside the window, and if it was night, then I wouldn't be able to see the scenery outside!

"Yes! I'll find out until I see it! Alphonse also looked out the window, and the red sunset, for some reason, made him feel a chill in his heart.
