The pungent smell of disinfectant is like an invisible tentacle, constantly entwining in front of Liu Mengchao, wanting to get into Liu Mengchao's nose all the time. I saw Liu Mengchao frowning and waving his hand casually, but he still didn't get rid of the annoying smell.

Liu Mengchao looked down at the flowers he had bought at the entrance of the hospital, which, according to the boss, were just right for visiting patients. Of course, Liu Mengchao didn't think about it so much, he just bought a bouquet of cheapest flowers.

"Knock knock."

After knocking on the door three times, Liu Mengchao heard footsteps coming from inside the door.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Mengchao noticed that he was shrouded in a shadow. He subconsciously looked up and saw the figure of Edward's younger brother Alphonse. This is indeed a tall man, but nothing more than armor with only a soul.

"How is Edward doing?"

Liu Mengchao handed the flowers in his hand to Alphonse and asked with a smile.

Alphonse shook his metal head to the side, letting Edward, who was lying on the hospital bed. I saw that the alchemist of this country had a depressed expression on his face, and he looked more like a gambling child.

"It's not a light injury, I didn't think you would wake up."

Liu Mengchao went to Edward's bedside and said with a smile.

"Can't wake up? I don't think so. Edward waved his hand, tilted his head to his right hand, and pouted.

"You could have won, right?" Liu Mengchao looked at the depressed look on Edward's face, and he almost guessed a rough idea.

"That's right! I didn't know what was going on in my right hand, and after a few hits, I was unconscious. Edward said as he raised his soft steel arm in front of Liu Mengchao with his left hand.

I saw him knock a few times on the spot, and made a helpless expression at Liu Mengchao.

"You see, it's not going to work at all. Otherwise, I think we'd have already been forced to find out the inside story of the Philosopher's Stone. If there really is someone within the army who has researched the Philosopher's Stone. I think...... There must be some secret hidden in it. ”

An untold secret?

Hearing Edward's words, Liu Mengchao almost burst out laughing. Isn't the so-called secret something that can't be known? If it really is known, I am afraid that the secret cannot be called a secret, right?

"Bang!"

Before Liu Mengchao could laugh at Edward's speech disease, the door of the ward was pushed open again. Liu Mengchao turned his head to look at the person who came in, and the corners of his mouth curled.

The people who came were still very familiar to Liu Mengchao. He wears rimless glasses and has a stubble on his chin, but he looks like an extremely kind person.

Of course, whether it was Liu Mengchao or Edward lying on the hospital bed, they all knew a lot about this person's true attributes.

Maas. Xiuz. The best daughter control.

Sure enough, there was no greeting to Edward's injury, and Maas. Xiuzi had already taken out the photo of his daughter from his arms, and proudly showed off to Liu Mengchao and the Edward brothers.

"Look, it's a new picture of her, and she's getting even cuter! I don't even know what to say! ”

Liu Mengchao turned his head and glanced at Edward, both of whom saw a trace of helplessness in the other party's eyes.

"Mas ......"

Liu Mengchao turned his back to the man who was showing off his daughter, and was about to speak. Maas. Xiuzi coughed directly twice, interrupting Liu Mengchao's words.

I saw this man stand up directly. Walk to the door. He poked his head out of the door, looked left and right, and then stretched back again, and walked to Liu Mengchao and Edward.

"There was no one outside the door. I think I can talk about it. ”

"Oh, so cautious?" Liu Mengchao looked at Maas. Xiuz laughed, "Do you think this is a big deal now?" ”

"Of course!" Maas. Xiuz nodded and said slowly. "Let's put it this way, although Liu Mengchao, you and Edward, are the Philosopher's Stone, but Roy and I. Mastan ...... No. To be precise, Roy's purpose was only the whole thing of the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"The whole thing?"

Edward didn't understand Maas for a while. The true meaning of Xiuz's words. However, Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, and even a slight mocking smile appeared in his eyes.

"Do things with a clean buttocks, otherwise it will be easy for flies to follow the smell to come to the door."

Liu Mengchao said with a smile.

"I agree with Roy. Mastan is a fly, but I'm not. "Maas. Xiuzi rubbed his face directly on the photo, and said with a happy face, "I'm just our daughter's hard-working little bee!" ”

"Liu Mengchao...... What do you mean by that? ”

Looking at Liu Mengchao and Mas. The two of them were playing dumb riddles, and Edward was completely confused now.

"Isn't that obvious?" Liu Mengchao shook his head with a smile and looked at Mas. Lieutenant Colonel Shutz asked, "Are you coming or am I coming to do it?" ”

"I'll come." Maas. Xiuz looked at Edward, then at his brother Alphonse, and said in a deep voice, "I don't think it's better to hide this kind of thing from the two of you. Me and Roy. Colonel Mastan has been a good friend since the beginning of the military academy and has also experienced the annihilation of Ishvar together. ”

Edward nodded and whispered, "We know this. ”

"Yes, but I'm afraid you don't know about me and Roy. Mastan's attitude towards the war. After all, the massacre of unarmed civilians is a real source of unsettling conscience, not to mention the fact that too many of our military colleagues have fallen on the battlefields of civil war. So I and Roy. Both men want to change the country. ”

"And if you want to change this country, you first need to have this country." Liu Mengchao laughed and took Mas. "Am I right? ”

"Hmm." Maas. Xiuzi nodded, "Obviously, this kind of direct use of human life to refine the Philosopher's Stone is immoral and not allowed by law. If we can find out who did it, we might be able to pull it down, and then let Roy . Mastan goes one step further. ”

"So...... Are you more interested in investigating the Philosopher's Stone now than Edward and me? Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Maas. Xiuz nodded vigorously, only to see that he was about to open his mouth to ask Edward for more details, when the door of the hospital room suddenly rang.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Ed! You okay! ”

The voice sounded extremely anxious, but that wasn't the point. Most crucially, it sounds 100% girl's.

"Girlfriend?"

Maas. Xiuz asked with a smile.

"No, no, no! Just my mechanic! ”

Edward held his damaged right arm with one hand and faced Liu Mengchao and Maas. Xiuzi said sternly.

"But you're blushing." (To be continued......)
