Chapter 33: The Station Attacked
"Alright, Major, put your sleeves down, so many people are watching us!" Edward was still very concerned about the eyes of others, and said to Major Armstrong, who was still flexing his muscles.
"Huh? Ed, your mechanical armor is broken again, I only accompanied you back once a few days ago. Suddenly, Major Armstrong noticed Edward's limp-sagging mechanical armor and said.
Previously, he only followed Roy's orders and came to protect Edward, but he didn't expect that Edward's trip back was also to repair the mechanical armor.
Edward, who was poked in the sore spot by Major Armstrong, covered his head and said with a headache: "It's only been repaired for a few days, and Wen Li must be throwing something at me again." It's all the scar man's fault! ”
"Scar Man?" Lin Xuan said suspiciously, since the three of them had searched for the refining formation formation everywhere and infiltrated the Fifth Research Institute before, they didn't know much about some information.
"The Scar Man is the one who has been attacking the National Alchemist recently, because he has a cross scar on his forehead, so we call him the Scar Man." Seeing that Lin Xuan was a little puzzled, Major Armstrong said, "According to the investigation, it seems to be from Ishbal. ”
"What the hell is Ishbal? What's going on there? Lin Xuan had also heard Doctor Marco mention this place before, so he took this opportunity to ask.
"The past is unbearable...... Armstrong shook his head helplessly, recalling, "The Ishbala are the tribes of the East who regard Ishbala as the only creator god. Unlike our religious philosophy, they believe that the structure of the world can be analyzed mathematically, and value the equivalent exchange of alchemy, but the people of Ishbal believe that alchemy has changed the world given to people by God as a demonic act. ”
"And then?" Xiaolan and the others also came over and asked.
And so the resistance began one after another. Thirteen years ago, an officer mistakenly shot and killed an Ishbal child while on his way to inspection. With that incident as a trigger, large-scale civil strife and riots broke out. The war lasted for several years, and the President ordered us to kill all the Ishubars. ”
Major Armstrong smiled self-deprecatingly: "That year, I also participated in the war, but every time I saw one by one Ishbaar fall in front of me, I felt lost and guilty in my heart, and finally I was recalled to the center because of war phobia, it's ridiculous, right?" ”
"No, you're not wrong, it's war that's wrong." Seeing that Major Armstrong's face was not very good, Xiaolan hurriedly said.
While they were waiting for the bus, a man in a cloak slowly approached the crowd with his head bowed, and walked towards Edward and Armstrong.
"Danger!" Seeing that the man in the cloak was about to approach the two of them, Lin Xuan's heart suddenly became alarmed, and he shouted without hesitation.
As soon as he heard Lin Xuan's shout, the man in the cloak suddenly accelerated forward, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Armstrong's body.
And Major Armstrong is also a man who has been on the battlefield, and after feeling the crisis coming from behind him, he suddenly rolled sideways, and he was able to dodge the other party's palm.
He was not passively beaten, and after rolling in a circle in embarrassment, Armstrong smashed his fist on the ground, and the refining array on the fist gloves was instantly activated, and a stone carved with his head immediately flew towards the cloaked man.
After hitting the palm ......of the cloaked man's hand, the stone broke and turned into powder!
At this moment, everyone also saw the face of the man in cloak who attacked.
The man had white hair, a cross-shaped scar on his forehead, which contrasted sharply with his originally dark skin, and his eyes were red unlike the others.
"Isn't this mission so easy...... Lin Xuan smiled bitterly, obviously he had already guessed the identity of the man in front of him.
"It's you!" Obviously, it wasn't just Lin Xuan, Edward also recognized the other party at the moment, and exclaimed.
The person who came was none other than Scar Man, the culprit who had been constantly attacking the national alchemists during this time.
"Why are you chasing the national alchemist? Not everyone was involved in that war. Edward exclaimed.
The scar man glanced at Major Armstrong's military uniform and said in disgust: "The national alchemists are all lackeys of the military department, all of them should be damned!" But seeing that you are still young, as long as you quit the national alchemist, I can consider not killing you. ”
"Humph! Don't! I will never quit until my goal is achieved! Edward said.
Seeing Edward's answer, Scar Man shook his head and said, "It seems that the negotiation has failed, so let's start the fight and give you thirty seconds to disperse the people here." ”
"Wait!" Lin Xuan suddenly jumped out and said, "Since you don't want to hurt the innocent, then why do you want to hold on to the national alchemist?" ”
"Who are you?" The scar man looked at Lin Xuan and asked.
"I'm just an ordinary soldier who has just joined the military department."
"Then you must not know how cruel they were when they invaded my homeland, and in those few short days, Ishbal was devastated and bloodied, all by these alchemists! My brother also died at their hands. The scar man looked at Lin Xuan viciously and said.
"......" Hearing what the other party said, Lin Xuan had no way to refute anything, after all, he didn't know what happened back then.
I saw Armstrong take a deep breath and yell: "The military department has arrested the fugitives, please stay away from here and go to a safe place!" ”
This trick really worked, and the passers-by who were still waiting for the train left the station in an orderly manner after seeing Armstrong's military uniform, and it was obviously not the first time this kind of thing had happened.
"Be careful with his right hand, anything that touches it will be destroyed in an instant." Edward solemnly said to everyone that his mechanical armor had been damaged by Scar Man's grasp.
"Let you see the art of alchemy that has been passed down from generation to generation by our Armstrong family!" Without waiting for the Scar Man to make a move, Major Armstrong was the first to strike! Several stones carved with his head flew straight towards Scar Man in an instant.
However, Scarman's reaction was not slow, and he dodged Armstrong's attack with a single dodge.
I have to say that Major Armstrong is also very sad, he is good at hand-to-hand combat, but he has no way to deal with the scar man who can destroy everything he touches.
"Bang bang bang!" Fortunately, he was not fighting alone, Lin Xuan had already taken out his weapon and shot at the scar man.
Obviously, the other party did not have the ability to dodge bullets, Lin Xuan's bullet grazed the scarred man's cheek, marking a blood mark, and blood immediately flowed down his face.
The scar man didn't expect Lin Xuan's marksmanship to be so accurate, wiped the blood off his face, and rushed towards Lin Xuan.
For him, compared to Armstrong, Lin Xuan, who owns a pistol, is more dangerous.
Seeing that the other party was rushing towards him, Lin Xuan didn't dare to be careless, and used his innate skill "Insight".
Bullets erupted one after another, cleverly blocking all of Scarman's dodge routes, and he believed that no matter how powerful Scarman's right hand was, he would not be able to dodge his shot.
But the truth is often cruel, and the scar man's way of dealing with it is to startle Lin Xuan into a cold sweat. I saw that the scar man's right hand slammed into the ground, and suddenly a crack was broken on the ground, and countless gravels flew towards Lin Xuan, and his bullets naturally all hit these gravels.
"Damn it!" Lin Xuan cursed secretly and rolled to the side, dodging the gravel. And the scar man took advantage of this time to get close to him a lot of distance.
"Be careful!" Seeing the scar man approaching Lin Xuan, Xiaolan also used her secret weapon. The three flying knives suddenly flew towards the scar man in a zigzag shape.
Seeing that it was only three flying knives, the scar man didn't care too much, and barely dodged sideways.
However, Xiaolan's projection of the hidden weapon also used the technique of Tangmen, not to mention the tricky angle, and it would change the track, and the scar man did not dodge in the end, but was still cut by the flying knife.
Lin Xuan also knew that Xiao Lan was quenching an anesthetic on the flying knife, and seeing that this blow was successful, he was not in a hurry to attack, but dragged on with the scar man.
After a while, Lin Xuan also noticed that the speed of the scar man had decreased a lot, and he immediately stopped hesitating, and the sand eagle in his hand erupted with a red light, and an energy blast shot out at the scar man.
And the scar man's reaction was unpleasant, and after discovering that something was wrong with his body, his right hand slammed into the ground, breaking a big hole in the ground, and the whole person jumped in.
However, Lin Xuan's bullet also arrived, and after hitting a piece of gravel, it exploded in the air.
"Boom!" The explosion caused Lin Xuan's clothes to hunt, and he believed that even if Scar Man dodged this attack, he would never be much better.
However, after the explosion had been over for a long time, several people did not see the scar man's probe.
"Is it dead?" Lin Xuan thought to himself, and was immediately denied by him again. Rather than guessing, seeing is believing.
Immediately, Lin Xuan's spiritual power radiated and swept towards the pit, and it was the spiritual power scanning that was used.
"This is ......" When he scanned the pit, Lin Xuan didn't find any figures in it, which made him slightly stunned.
When I scanned further, I found that there was another large hole in the big hole, and the hole extended down to the sewer in the station.
"Did he let him escape from the sewers......" Lin Xuan smiled bitterly.
