Chapter 64: We Are All the Same Person
Liu Mengchao and Mas. The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison. Although there is still a gap in age between the two, they all noticed that the girl with a beautiful appearance must be someone Edward likes.
"She and I grew up together and are called Yunni." Edward looked at Yunni and turned his head to Liu Mengchao and Maas. Xiuzi and the two introduced, "Because I am very good at mechanical armor, I ......"
"So it's your mechanic, isn't it?" Liu Mengchao said jokingly, with a smile in his eyes.
"That's it." Edward nodded and said without hesitation. On the other hand, Yunni also subconsciously raised her head, only pretending not to hear what Edward said clearly, and leaned down to check Edward's completely damaged mechanical arm.
"It's not a big deal, is it?" Liu Mengchao glanced at her and said with a smile.
"Nothing." Yunni nodded slightly, but a look of embarrassment flashed across her face. Although Edward and the others did not know the cause of the damage to the robotic arm, Yunnie did remember it clearly. It turned out that when she was installing the arm, she forgot to install a screw, and the guide was not fixed firmly, so such a thing happened.
I saw that Yunni threw the toolbox in her hand to Edward's side, and opened it with a click. Big and small drivers, as well as many tools that Liu Mengchao couldn't name, instantly appeared in this small ward.
"The movements are really skilled, I really can't see that such a young girl is such an outstanding mechanical armor technician." Watching Winnie take Edward to repair the mechanical armor, Mas who was standing next to Liu Mengchao. Xiuzi also sighed.
Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, his eyes narrowed, and he sat at the head of Edward's bed and asked with a smile, "After your arm is repaired, what are you going to do?" I now feel like the thread is completely broken, and it's not easy to reconnect. ”
"That's right......"
Edward slapped his forehead with his intact left hand, and a sad look appeared on his face.
"I thought I would be able to find all the secrets in the fifth laboratory. But I didn't expect the final result to be so disappointing. By the way, Liu Mengchao, that ...... How did you escape? ”
"Me?"
Liu Mengchao was stunned, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"I didn't escape, but when they saw that you were hurt, they just let you go."
"Let me go?" Edward's brows furrowed, it stands to reason that if he really discovered the secrets of that group of people, there was no reason to let him go. According to their words, only by killing can we never suffer from future troubles.
"Wait a minute......
At this time. Maas. Xiuz's voice interjected directly.
"Liu Mengchao once said that you also fought against that group of androids when you were in the Leite Sect?"
"I'm the only one who has fought with them, but ......" Liu Mengchao's eyes rolled slightly, and as soon as he recalled the scene at that time, he sensed that something was wrong.
First of all, if the goal of their group was to kill Edward, it was the best time to do it. But they didn't, and by the time they got to the fifth lab, if I'm not mistaken. Edward had actually been defeated at that time, and it would have been easier for the armored man to kill Edward directly.
"If that guy named Envi wasn't trying to attack me, but directly to Edward. He must be a dead man by now, right? ”
Liu Mengchao glanced at Edward, who was gritting his teeth and connecting the mechanical armor, frowned slightly, and turned his head to Maas. Xiuz asked, "You guessed that too?" ”
"Hmm...... At that time, Liu Mengchao, you also told me. Don't look at me like this, but I'm also a person who has been in battle. The situation at that time. If you really want to keep you, the best way is to kill Edward first, and then attack Liu Mengchao. But they didn't. Instead, he just let you go, in other words......"
"They don't want me and Edward to die." The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he smiled and pondered: The android gang doesn't want to die with Edward, there must be a reason for this, right? Definitely not just because he and Edward are good-looking, it must be because he and Edward share a common point?
Right! It should be the same point.
Liu Mengchao nodded imperceptibly, and recompared the characteristics of himself and Edward in his mind.
Both himself and Edward are men, which obviously doesn't make sense. However, he and Edward are both national alchemists, so is it because of this that the androids will not kill Edward?
Apparently impossible.
Liu Mengchao himself denied this answer first. Although the number of national alchemists is scarce, for people of a certain status, they are just useful tools, how can they have such great value.
If there is anything special about Edward, it is because he once completed the refining of the human body and saw the door of truth, right?
Wait a minute!
Liu Mengchao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at Edward with a confused face.
"Edward...... I think I've figured out why they don't want to kill you. ”
"Really?"
This time even Maas. Xiuz was surprised. Although he used to be a spy, he is extremely good at this kind of covert scheme, and because of his delicate mind, he is the best at peeling off the cocoon. But I am still confused, what is the origin of this Liu Mengchao, and in just a few moments, I have already found out the reason?
"Edward had done human forgery, though he had kept it a secret. But as Roy. Mastan's close friend, Maas. Mr. Xiuz, I think you already know, right? ”
"I see!"
Worthy of Maas. Xiuz. Liu Mengchao's words had just come out of the air, and he had already thought about it along that line. Liu Mengchao's origin is unknown, even if he and Roy. Mastan's covert investigation into the man's identity also yielded nothing. Originally himself and Roy. Mastan wants to use the national alchemist to let Liu Mengchao get the kung fu of the national alchemist, and use the state machine to investigate Liu Mengchao's identity and find out his secret.
However, the final result was a bit surprising, as if he was a guy jumping out of a rock. Even the spies lurking abroad did not send back any information about Liu Mengchao.
It stands to reason that if the android doesn't kill Liu Mengchao, it must not be because Liu Mengchao's identity is special. After all, if Liu Mengchao had a special identity, how could they explain the fact that they didn't kill Edward? It simply doesn't make sense.
But if you look at it from a different angle, purely from the perspective of alchemy, you can understand everything.
Although Liu Mengchao's origin is unknown, he is indeed an extremely outstanding alchemist. He was able to refine directly without relying on the refining array, an ability he had only seen in Edward.
And according to Roy. Mastan's speculation is that this was possible because Edward had seen the Door of Truth.
Maas. Xiuzi quietly leaned into Liu Mengchao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Liu Mengchao...... Have you seen the Gate of Truth too? ”
Liu Mengchao didn't speak, just the corners of his mouth curled, and he nodded with a smile.
That's right, I see!
Looking at Liu Mengchao's movements, Maas. It was immediately clear to Shuz in his heart. If it is said that because Liu Mengchao and Edward are both alchemists who have seen the Gate of Truth, it makes perfect sense that artificial talents do not kill them. After all, the number of alchemists is extremely rare, let alone outstanding alchemists.
Even among the most brilliant alchemists, few wanted to touch the human body to refine this taboo.
"So you two are rare species." Maas. Xiuzi stared at Liu Mengchao and Edward, and said with a smile.
Rare species?
Listen to Maas. Xiuzi's words, Edward was a little confused. He subconsciously looked at Liu Mengchao, closed his eyes and thought about himself, and then opened his eyes suddenly.
"Is it because of this!?"
Edward pointed to himself, and then to his brother Alphonse.
"Brother? What's wrong? ”
Alphonse, who had been standing next to Yunni and looking at his brother, was also confused.
"Because of what I have in common with Al?"
"What do you have in common?" Alphonse heard his brother's words and fell silent for a moment. He's not stupid, and he's even a little more careful than his brother in some details.
The common denominator is definitely not the same surname as his brother, nor is it definitely not an attainment in alchemy...... In this regard, his brother is a little more powerful than himself.
So......
"Is it made of the human body?!"
As soon as Alphonse thought of this, he blurted out directly.
"It's the human body." Liu Mengchao lifted his feet, his toes were cocked, and his expression looked very comfortable, "If they are unwilling to kill any of the three of us, I think there is only one reason. After all, first of all, alchemists are very few in this country. ”
"Alchemists who are highly skilled and can perform human refining are even rarer." Edward continued Liu Mengchao's words.
"But even if you have such superb alchemy, there are even fewer people who are willing to break the taboo." Alphonse nodded and agreed.
"And you've forgotten a little bit." Liu Mengchao took out the silver pocket watch he had just gotten from his pocket, checked it up and down in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile, "The three of us are still national alchemists, and we can be described as legitimate lackeys of the military department."
