"Mr. Liu, I really can't do it!"

It was late at night, and the lights were turned off in the surrounding rooms, except for the inside of Sesica's own house. It's a terrifying feeling, and if you look at it from a distance, this lonely light is as terrifying as a ghost fire.

But if Xie Xijia himself is to say, now this Liu Mengchao, who is sitting next to him and calmly watching him, is the most terrifying person.

"Human potential can only be stimulated when it is like this, right?" Liu Mengchao said with a smile, his fingers gently slid over the light that was about to go out, and said with a smile, "I haven't felt tired yet, and I don't think you should be at the limit." ”

"But I haven't read a book today."

"Hmm...... It's also good to empty your brain once in a while. ”

Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded, the smile on his face was as terrifying as a demon.

"Boom!"

It's just that after Liu Mengchao's smile, Xie Xijia directly responded with the simplest voice. She fell asleep on the table.

"Woman ......"

Liu Mengchao sighed, stood up, and blew out the light in front of Xie Xijia. In a moment, the room was once again plunged into darkness. Even if Liu Mengchao didn't look at the silver pocket watch in his arms, he could roughly estimate the time, at least it was two or three o'clock in the morning.

I saw Liu Mengchao passing through the room full of books, as if walking on a broad avenue. In the blink of an eye, Liu Mengchao had already come to the roof.

The starry sky flickered lonely above Liu Mengchao's head, and the entire central city seemed to sink into darkness. There seemed to be no human voices, but it was the silent darkness that made Liu Mengchao feel a little weird. Because when Liu Mengchao opened the eagle eye by himself, he could find that the city, which was originally full of red light, had dimmed again.

"Is there a whole city full of my enemies?"

Liu Mengchao looked at the strange scene in front of him. I couldn't help but laugh.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Three days.

This is the time when Liu Mengchao sees Edward's brothers again. As early as two days ago, Edward had withdrawn 200,000 yuan from his research funds as the cost of Xie Xijia's mother's hospitalization. So when the two brothers saw Liu Mengchao again, they also had a nervous look on their faces.

"It's all here!"

Even with thick black-rimmed glasses on his face, Xie Xijia still couldn't hide the tired look on his face. Because of Liu Mengchao, this poor woman hasn't slept well for three days in a row, and she doesn't even have time to read her favorite book, and the whole person is just pitifully writing and writing silently.

"All here?"

Looking at the information in front of him, Edward didn't even have time to offer condolences to Chesica. The eyes were glued directly to it, and they could no longer move an inch.

"But to me, it's like a big joke." Liu Mengchao stood in front of Edward, picked up a copy of the document written by Xie Xijiamo, gently tiptoed in his hand, and then laughed.

"I've already seen some of it while she's writing it. But it doesn't seem like the answer is satisfying to me. Liu Mengchao frowned as he spoke, "I think Edward, if you see this topic." I will feel the same way. ”

"Question?"

A puzzled look flashed in Edward's eyes, and he directly took over the research materials from Liu Mengchao's hands. I saw that it looked up and said......

"1000 Recipes of the Day". "I don't need to turn it over, I've seen it all,. Indeed, everything written on it is a recipe. I really didn't see it. The national alchemist would actually like to cook. But it's a good hobby. Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Edward, what do you think?" ”

"Me?"

Edward flipped through the materials in his hand. He read it out softly.

"Add a little water to a tablespoon of granulated sugar...... It's really a word that only appears on recipes. ”

"So?"

Liu Mengchao noticed that the smile on Edward's face was getting thicker and thicker, and it seemed that this 1000 kinds of today's recipe really seemed to be Tim. Margh's research material is also uncertain.

After carefully reading the information in his hand, Edward looked up again. Looking at Chercyca, he asked, word by word, "Is this really what Mr. Marg wrote?" Every word is the same as the original, right? ”

"Yes! Absolutely, yes! ”

Although Xie Xijia has been tortured in the past few days because he has been guarded by Liu Mengchao, the overseer, the expression on his face is extremely determined. She was sure she didn't make a single mistake.

"That's it! Thank you! ”

Edward nodded at Liu Mengchao. He was now 100% sure that this research material on the recipe was Marge's research on the refining of the Philosopher's Stone.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sitting on the sofa in the hotel where Edward was staying, Liu Mengchao crossed his legs and watched the two Edward brothers read the recipe in their hands as if they were looking at treasure.

"If only the author can understand it, how can you interpret it?" Liu Mengchao asked slowly, a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"It's hard to say, but in some ways, it's very simple." Edward said, tapping his temple, "Knowledge, inspiration, and concentration...... After trying and trying, you will find the key that can answer everything...... I will be able to decipher this information! ”

Looking at Edward's extremely determined expression, Liu Mengchao couldn't help laughing. Speaking of which, even Liu Mengchao himself has unconsciously developed a good impression of this Fullmetal Alchemist.

"Of course...... Books such as Culinary Studies are relatively easy to decipher. Alphonse, who was sitting next to Edward looking at the materials, said with a smile, "After all, someone once said that alchemy is a discipline that comes from the kitchen. That's right! Liu Mengchao, how did you record your alchemy? ”

Myself?

Alphonse's question stumped Liu Mengchao in an instant. I saw Liu Mengchao squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, and then stretched out his hand and gently tapped his brain.

"Think about it." (To be continued......)
