Chapter 25: Together We Are

Ever seen?

Brother Edward subconsciously held his breath and fell silent. His eyes sparkled in the dim environment, not missing every detail that might have been missed in Liu Mengchao's words.

"Where?"

Edward opened his mouth and asked directly.

"Here."

Liu Mengchao stomped his foot lightly and stepped on the ground. Liu Mengchao's meaning was so clear that the place where he found the android was neither far away nor the edge of the sky. It's here, where the feet are.

"Why is it here?"

Edward looked at Liu Mengchao and lifted his feet.

Lifted, then lowered, feet on the dry earth, splashing small dust. He also stomped his foot like Liu Mengchao.

"This is it." Liu Mengchao looked at Edward's eyes, but there was already a hint of a smile in his eyes. I saw him grinning and squinting, and bowed slightly at Edward, who was staring straight at him, "Because there is something else here." ”

"The Philosopher's Stone...... Is it? ”

Edward snuffed out his last note, his voice tinged with uncertainty. He was a little skeptical about why things were the way they were, the so-called Philosopher's Stone was something that shouldn't have been in the world. But now it has appeared in front of his eyes, and he has been given this small red stone by Liu Mengchao.

"The little stones are very useful, it's not something I feel alone, they think so too." Liu Mengchao spread out his palms and let his gaze wander between those square inches, as if the Philosopher's Stone was still there, quietly waiting for himself to be used by Liu Mengchao.

That's what they think too?

This is another piece of news revealed by Liu Mengchao. Edward narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring Liu Mengchao's words carefully. That's what they think, what do they think? It should be that the Philosopher's Stone is very useful, why is it so useful, could it be that they have used it before. Or do you know about the Philosopher's Stone?

"The Philosopher's Stone is obviously just a legendary stone, and the bishop of the Leiter Sect was able to get him, which is really a good luck that people admire."

The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he smiled again.

I see!

Edward looked up suddenly, he first looked at his brother Alphonse, and when he saw his brother's two red souls of light and shadow, also burning towards him like flames, Edward also nodded slowly.

Things are so simple, Liu Mengchao's last sentence is a reminder to himself! There's nothing wrong with that! The Philosopher's Stone is something that only exists in legends, for the average person. No! It should be said that for ordinary alchemists, it is simply an unattainable thing, and even people like themselves have no clue to get the Philosopher's Stone. So think about it from another perspective, how can an ordinary alchemist like Bishop Reiter, or even just a second- or third-rate person, be able to refine a treasure like the Sage's Stone?

It's simply not possible!

So where did he get it from?

The corners of Edward's mouth curled, he already figured out the answer. Since he can't get it, someone will let him get it.

"The Philosopher's Stone resurrects the dead. In other words, maybe it's not that hard to create a person, right? Liu Mengchao looked at the light flashing on Edward's face, and then smiled as well, "If you want to create a few people." I prefer the number seven because seven is always mystical and interesting. ”

Seven?

Edward nodded slightly, staring into the darkness in front of him. Liu Mengchao has already said it very clearly, and it is even a little superficial. The Philosopher's Stone resurrects the dead. Nature is capable of creating artificial humans. So how many androids are there? Is it one, or two, or more?

Liu Mengchao said that he liked the number seven. Prove that he knows that there are seven androids. But where did Liu Mengchao know about this?

Thinking of this, Edward pulled his thoughts back to the conversation of Liu Mengchao at the front.

He's seen ......

You've seen an android, right? So why did Liu Mengchao say such a thing to himself again? Is it just to tell yourself this information? But if he just told himself this information, there was no need to explain it to himself in such a secret way, he could ......

Wait a minute!

Edward sat up straight, his golden eyes almost popping out of his sockets. Those were two rays of light so breathtaking, so powerful, that people subconsciously wanted to dodge, wanted to dodge.

"That's why?"

Edward looked into Liu Mengchao's eyes and asked silently.

"Equivalent exchange is the most common principle in the world." Liu Mengchao said, a slight grin on the corner of his mouth, "In other words, I also agree with this explanation. Without an equivalent effort, there will be no equivalent return. ”

There will be no equivalent return without equal pay?

Liu Mengchao seemed to be simply stating his opinion, but for Edward, he knew that things were not like that at all. Every word must be followed by a deep meaning.

Equivalent exchange is a common principle in this world. In other words......

Edward set his eyes on Liu Mengchao, and the man swirled like a whirlwind, and regained his composure.

"The process of exchanging was painful." Edward's mouth pursed tightly, as if a voice was coming from his throat, "Alchemists probably can't imagine what a terrible price they will pay. ”

This was Edward's temptation, and he wanted to know if what he was saying was what Liu Mengchao wanted to say.

"The price is great, maybe death."

Bingo!

Hearing Liu Mengchao's words, Edward nodded. He already understood the meaning of Liu Mengchao's words. The price is very high, which proves that Liu Mengchao almost had to pay the price of his life when he found out such information. But he and Liu Mengchao have only just separated, in other words, Liu Mengchao has just met someone here who can get information about androids.

Or to put it in more detail......

In the middle of this town, there are androids!

A flame seemed to rise from Edward's chest. He was so curious about this that he was even anxious to search the town. Find those androids now, and ask for their secrets now!

It was like a fire, and it burned in Edward's chest in an instant.

He couldn't wait to hear from these people.

"They're not like us."

Liu Mengchao observed Edward's expression. Ping Piaopiao said.

Not the same?

Of course, androids should be different from humans, but ......

"They seem to know the secret of this little stone."

Liu Mengchao looked at Edward's excited expression and nodded slowly. Knowing the secret of this little stone, in other words, they know the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, they even ......

"I see." Edward bowed his head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. According to Liu Mengchao's words, these androids should also have the Philosopher's Stone, and maybe be able to create these stones.

"Where can we meet them?"

This was Edward's question, and the look on his face was so impatient. So anxious again. He was desperate to know the answers, even more desperate to understand everything.

"Central."

Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes, carefully recalling what Rust said to himself. According to Rust, the place where they can be found is in the center. Or rather, Rust just wanted them there.

"Go now!"

Edward Huo Ran got up, and his heart had begun to burn irrepressibly. He couldn't wait to meet these people, and then he couldn't wait to hear about them. It's just that Liu Mengchao seems to know Edward's expression, and he already knows that he will say so.

Liu Mengchao did not answer. Just nodded slightly.

"So...... What do you need? ”

After listening to Liu Mengchao's words, Edward subconsciously asked Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao definitely doesn't just want to tell himself these things, he must have a foundation to cooperate with himself.

Edward's brow furrowed as he thought. It's like looking for a gem that can shine in the sedimented sand.

"You want that stone too?"

Edward asked softly. This is his speculation, Liu Mengchao wants to find the Sage Stone with him. But......

Wrong!

Edward suddenly reflected, Liu Mengchao had already said it when he met him for the first time. He also completed the refining of the human body, in other words, Liu Mengchao also paid the price for seeing that door.

"And you want to get back what you exchanged?"

This was Edward's final speculation.

Get those things back? Liu Mengchao listened to Edward's question. The corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and then he smiled. He smiled faintly, then shook his head slowly.

"It's not."

This is Liu Mengchao's answer.

"...... that?"

The Edward brothers all stood up and stood in front of Liu Mengchao, waiting for Liu Mengchao's answer. They have been playing dumb riddles for too long, and they need Liu Mengchao's answers too much.

It's just that...... Liu Mengchao seems to have a trace of confusion on his face, no, it's not so much confused, but rather that Liu Mengchao still has what he wants.

"Answer."

Liu Mengchao raised his fingers and swayed softly in front of the Edward brothers, like a candle about to be blown out by the wind. His finger movements are so gentle, yet full of moving power.

"The answer? What's the answer? ”

Brother Edward asked out loud, his heart full of doubts. ,

"The answer to the truth."

Liu Mengchao said with a smile. He didn't know the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist, or even the rules of the world as a whole. So Liu Mengchao needs to travel with these two brothers, experience what they have been through, understand what they know, and have the status they have.

Only in this way can Liu Mengchao be infinitely close to the truth of this world, close to the entire plot, and finally ...... Find everything you want to know!

"How are you going to find it?"

"I'm looking for it with you."

Liu Mengchao stood up and replied with a smile. (To be continued......)
