Chapter 66: The Great President Comes
Edward planned to go directly to his master, but for Liu Mengchao, he still didn't seem to have a clue what he wanted to do. So taking advantage of this opportunity, Edward also wanted to know Liu Mengchao's next move. In this way, the two people can have some tacit understanding, which is convenient for the two people to cooperate with each other.
But...... Myself...... Any plans?
Edward lay on the hospital bed and said with a smile at Liu Mengchao. He had now figured out that as soon as his injuries were alleviated, he would leave for Dabris. His master was now living in seclusion, and neither Edward nor Alphonse had the slightest doubt about his master's terrifying prowess.
His own master undoubtedly made extremely powerful.
At the thought of this, Edward's face instantly turned pale.
"Liu Mengchao...... Come with us, too! ”
Looking at Liu Mengchao, who seemed to be still thinking, Edward said without hesitation. If his master knew that he was involved in the human body refining, maybe he would really be killed at that time. After all...... The strength of his own master is really terrifying.
"Hey...... Your face isn't very good......"
Liu Mengchao glanced at Edward, who was pale, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Since coming to this world for nearly two or three months, Liu Mengchao has never seen such a frightened look on Edward's face. Although he was given the name of steel, in the face of the master who taught him alchemy since childhood, the Edward brothers were still full of infinite fear......
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
"Edward, you don't want me to go with you to see your master, and then save you when she wants to kill you, do you?"
Liu Mengchao asked with a grin, and Edward and Alphonse subconsciously glanced at each other. The eyes of both brothers said the same thing at this moment.
It's been discovered!
That's right, that's exactly what the two of them thought. His master's ability is really terrifying, as if he has Liu Mengchao's physical skills, and he also has alchemy that is even more powerful than Liu Mengchao. You must know that since the two Edward brothers became national alchemists, they did not wander around the continent casually. They have also experienced many battles in order to be able to track down the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone.
If there are any masters they have seen along the way, Liu Mengchao is undoubtedly the most powerful one of them. However, even Liu Mengchao's ability, in the eyes of Edward's two brothers, is still a cut worse than his master.
"The so-called childhood shadow is the situation of your two brothers, right?"
Looking at Edward and Alphonse's almost pleading gazes. The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled and he laughed directly.
"I don't really want to go straight to the South Central right now."
"Don't leave us ......behind," Edward raised his hand tremblingly, trying to grab the hem of Liu Mengchao's clothes. But he was immediately freed from this unrighteous man.
"We're really going to be killed!"
Alphons's iron helmet, which had no expression, seemed to be directly twisted by fear at this moment. It is surprising that a woman's power can be so great.
If Liu Mengchao originally just planned to take a look at Edward and their master, now his heart is already full of curiosity. The woman who can teach the alchemist of Metal must not be an ordinary person, let alone create such a big psychological shadow for these two powerful alchemists.
If you don't see each other, you really can't talk about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes and nodded slowly.
As soon as I saw Liu Mengchao, I nodded. Brother Edward's eyes lit up instantly. I saw that the two of them almost jumped directly to Liu Mengchao's side and laughed loudly. It's just that Liu Mengchao waved his hand first.
"But until then, I won't go with you to Dabris." Liu Mengchao frowned, turned his original plan slightly, and said slowly. "Before I do that, I'm going to take a trip to the East Side."
"Dongcheng? Why? It's to go and see Roy first. Colonel Mastan? As soon as Edward heard Liu Mengchao's words, he also reacted instantly. According to the candidates he analyzed with Liu Mengchao before, the best backup object. It's Roy. Colonel Mastan.
"Maybe we'll see a hint of it then." Liu Mengchao met Edward's gaze and nodded with a smile. He had already thought in his heart that if he could really see Roy then. Colonel Mastan. You might even be able to see what androids think.
Are they artificially created alchemists who have seen the Gate of Truth, or are they looking for a needle in a haystack, just searching for alchemists who have seen the Gate of Truth? Although the two may not seem to be very different, they are actually worlds apart.
The former is an active attack, while the latter is a passive search.
"That's a good idea...... "Maas. After listening to Liu Mengchao's words, Xiuzi also smiled and nodded, with a look of approval on his face, "Then take advantage of this time, I will stay in the center, right?" No, it's not appropriate to say that I stayed behind, after all, I can't leave the center for special reasons. ”
Maas. Xiuz spread his hands and said with a smile, "The main thing is that I can't leave my lovely daughter Alyssa at all!" ”
This daughter is in control......
As soon as I heard Maas. Xiuzi's words, Liu Mengchao and Edward involuntarily looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
While the four people in the ward were discussing countermeasures, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door. The footsteps didn't sound much disguised, but there was definitely not the footsteps of Yunni, who had just gone out to buy a train ticket.
The footsteps were more calm, one in front and one behind, obviously the footsteps of two people.
I heard a creaking sound, and the door of the ward was pushed open.
Liu Mengchao and the others looked in the direction of the voice, and Edward called out directly.
"Big big president!?"
"Excuse me." , looking at Edward lying on the hospital bed, the great president Kenger. Don't do it. Rai smiled and beckoned, saying, "Don't get so excited, you can continue talking." ”
Talk?
Edward and Maas. Xiuzi and the two glanced at each other, and then looked at Liu Mengchao in unison. As a result, all three of them = fell into silence. They don't know whether they should tell the president about this matter now, after all, as a national alchemist, they should be the president's direct subordinates. But on the other hand, they are investigating the upper echelons of the military.
"I heard that you are conducting an investigation into the upper echelons of the military." Before Liu Mengchao could speak, the president had already spoken, "Don't make such a surprised look, my intelligence network should not be underestimated." ”
Not to be underestimated?!
Edward subconsciously lowered his head, and Liu Mengchao, who was sitting on the edge of his hospital bed, was watching every inch of the slightest expression on the president's face with great interest at the moment.
"You're investigating the Philosopher's Stone, aren't you? Edward? ”
As he spoke, the president's face instantly became gloomy. An invisible pressure instantly emanated from the fifty-year-old man, directly enveloping Edward and Maas. Two people in Xiuz. Liu Mengchao could even feel that the breathing of these two people instantly became rapid.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
The corners of the president's mouth twitched, and he suddenly let out a smile.
"Just kidding! Don't you mind! ”
The look on the president's face instantly relaxed, and even the faces of the two Edward brothers who were originally questioned by him also became calm. It seems that none of the qiē is as strict as they think.
"I also know that there is instability within the army, so I have been trying to find a way to deal with it recently." As he spoke, the Great President lifted the piece of paper that drew the Philosopher's Stone into a array, shook it lightly in his hand, and then said with a smile, "These should be the list of people who study the Philosopher's Stone, right?" I've seen it once, and you're really capable of finding these names! ”
Although the president was in an admiring tone, Liu Mengchao's brows had already wrinkled subconsciously. He faintly sniffed out a strange breath.
Sure enough, before Edward could ask, the president said directly, "It's a pity that the people on these lists are now missing." Just a few days before the collapse of the fifth research room...... Suddenly it disappeared without a trace. ”
Without a trace?
Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes and patiently listened to the president continue.
"It's a shame that the enemy is often one step ahead of us. Although I have my own intelligence network, until now, I still don't know their ultimate goal, nor do I know what kind of process their clutches have penetrated into. ”
"In other words, if we continue to investigate...... Can it be dangerous? ”
Maas. Xiuzi is worthy of being a person who has done intelligence work, and he instantly understood the meaning of the president's words.
The president nodded slowly, his tone even lower. I heard him say in a deep voice, "I know that you are trustworthy people, and for your personal safety, I command you!" ”
As he spoke, the president's body stiffened suddenly, and the whole person stood in front of Liu Mengchao and his party like a javelin.
"For now it is not known who is the enemy and who is the friend, and no one can be trusted! Don't see the sperm donor anymore and don't let it out! Please act cautiously as if the whole army is an enemy! ”
Looking at everyone's extremely strict expressions, the corners of the president's mouth curled and he smiled, "But! When the time comes, I'll let you guys work to your heart's content!! Be prepared! (To be continued......)
