Chapter 8: The Sixth Sense
"You are in good fortune that the Bishop is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to see you." The believer in the dark robe turned back to Brother Edward and smiled and said, "You must know that the average bishop does not easily see others. ”
"Then we're really lucky." Edward said with a grin at the corner of his mouth.
"This ...... I can't say for sure. ”
The believer said slowly, his hand silently reaching into his arms. He lifted the placket a little, and then slowly reached his hand inside.
"Huh!"
With a soft thud, the believer spun around, and the cold pistol was in his hand, pointed straight at the tall Alphons's head. The situation was so clear that as soon as the believer pulled his trigger, bullets would whistle out of his pistol and pierce the head of the man in front of him.
The die is cast.
At this moment, such emotions suddenly surged in his heart. I saw this man smile coldly, and a pair of eyes constantly reflected a terrifying light, and in a trance, this believer seemed to feel that he had become a god, a god who could manipulate the lives of others.
"I'm sorry, you haven't heard where I came from, and it's really not a hospitable way to treat me like this." Edward's voice slowly rang out in the cold basement. He is only one and a half meters tall, but at this moment he looks tall again.
He looks very calm.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here!"
The girl who had been praying looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, her big watery eyes full of incredulity. When did the Order, who were supposed to be like brothers and sisters, become such a brutal creature?
"Rosa...... These are pagans who want to frame the bishop. In other words...... They all want to kill the bishop. ”
"No...... It couldn't be ......."
Before Rosa could finish speaking, she heard two soft thuds, and two sharp spears stabbed Edward from behind, completely controlling the diminutive little man, one left and one right.
"That's the truth, for the sake of Rett Teach. I must kill them! ”
There was a click, and the pistol safety was pulled open. The cold muzzle of the gun was aimed at Alphonse's head, and the corners of the believer's mouth twitched, squeezing out an ugly and cruel smile, and slowly pulling the trigger.
"Dang!"
With a loud bang, the bullet hit Alphonse directly in the head. The helmet made of steel instantly turned into an arc in the air, and when it fell to the ground with a thud, it rolled non-stop.
"This is reality, Mr. Fullmetal Alchemist. Today is your time of death! This is the bishop's command, and this is God's will! ”
The words were cold and unforgiving. The gaze is fierce and hideous. Under such circumstances, the girl named Rosa only felt that her legs were weak, and her mind kept thinking of her dead lover. At such a time, choosing to escape is really a normal thing for her.
People always have an instinct to escape.
It's just that it's really not for the Edward brothers to escape from this situation now. I saw that flames suddenly flashed in Edward's golden eyes, like a piece of hard steel, no matter what kind of situation he faced, he would not choose to give up in the end.
"There is such an excessive god!"
A steel hand rested on the barrel of the pistol. Then grab it hard. All I could hear was a squeaky and torturous sound, and the barrel of the gun slowly twisted under the hands, and then groaned and deformed.
"It can't be!"
Alphonse, who had just been knocked off by the believers, actually grabbed his own robbery directly like a devil. Forcefully bent the gun.
The next development seems to be really logical. Seeing that Edward didn't even frown, he instantly grabbed the collar of the person behind him with one hand, and then leaned forward. And then......
Over-the-shoulder falls!
With a bang, a sultry puff of smoke rose up. Completely drowning in smoke, the Edward brothers seemed to be completely unable to see them, only when the smoke slowly dissipated. Rosa saw everything in front of her.
The believers lay on the ground, one by one rolling their eyes, as if they had just been beaten by Brother Edward.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?!? ”
Rosa's clear eyes were full of doubt, and she looked at Edward in bewilderment, and then at his brother Alphons.
"Dangdang!"
Edward's hand tapped on Alphons' armor, and his brother, as if he already knew his brother would do it, bowed his head directly to where Rosa was, revealing his body hidden inside.
In the body, there is no one.
"Yes...... Empty? ”
"That's right, it's empty." Edward nodded, "This is the price paid when you break the taboo of the gods and want to resurrect the dead. But...... Let's not talk about that," Edward said, touching the back of his head, "I've seen God for what he is, you ......"
"No, it shouldn't be like this!"
Rosa's face flushed.
"Haven't you come to your senses until now? Do you still believe in that bishop? Looking at the woman in front of him, Edward felt a little difficult for the first time, and he subconsciously scratched his head, "So...... Would you like to go with us and find out? ”
Check it out.
These were Edward's words. His face shifted to look at the tightly sealed gate in the distance, the door to the lowest floor of the church, in other words, the Sect Master.
It's a wooden gate, and it's a bit heavy. Ordinary cultists need three or four people to push it open, but it seems that for Edward and Alphonse, it is just a door that can be opened with a slight push. I saw the two brothers put their hands on the door and sent their arms forward.
Creak...... Yike......
The grinding of sore teeth sounded abruptly in the underground. Edward and his brother Alphonse led the way.
Pushing open the door, the world that appeared before the brothers' eyes was dark.
"Huh...... Didn't anyone say welcome? ”
Edward was the first to enter the bishop's room, and Alphonse followed behind his brother, also silent and silent.
There seemed to be no one else in this room, only the sound of footsteps in the darkness, one after another, which made people feel creepy.
It's just that such a dark environment only feels creepy to others, but for a person who has long been accustomed to the dark, it is really a little kind.
Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes, carefully savoring the colors of everyone in his vision. Brother Edward's body glowed faintly blue, a symbol of his allies. On the other side, the bishop who slowly walked down the stairs emitted an extremely dim golden light.
Yellow Glow!?
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth pursed instantly, and he couldn't help but thank the person who guarded the door of truth now. When he passed through that door, he didn't take away the reinforcement of his Assassin's Creed. After all, in some ways, Assassin's Creed's abilities weren't that powerful, and even a little bit of a, just more powerful hand-to-hand combat than ordinary people.
But for Liu Mengchao, this ability has one of the biggest benefits.
The abilities in Assassin's Creed come from the very fundamental premise of the story. The Precursors created the human race, as in all mythological stories, and they created the human race in their own image. But he didn't give 100% of his abilities to humans.
Sight, touch, smell, taste, hearing. These five senses are the senses that humans are born with, but the forerunners have one more sense than humans.
Sixth sense.
It's such a wonderful feeling that if you look at it with your eyes, you will glow golden on those who are connected to your mission, and blue on your allies.
Because this ability involves a sixth sense, it is absolutely not wrong, just like a normal person will never misread colors and hear the wrong sound.
"It seems that what I am trying to accomplish in this world really has something to do with the Philosopher's Stone?"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled slightly, and he said silently in the shadows. (To be continued......)
