Chapter Forty-Seven: The Scarred Man Who Escaped
Military vehicles drove out of the East City Headquarters one after another. Mastan sat at the front, followed by a long line of heavily armed soldiers.
"Resolved?"
Get out of the car, Roy. Mastan asked impatiently. His gaze looked directly at Liu Mengchao, waiting for this man who seemed to be able to create a miracle.
"Almost."
Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, and stretched out his finger to the cell behind him that seemed to be made of stone on all sides. "We asked Brother Edward to lure out this scarred man, and then by the way, created this cell that could directly imprison him."
"Such alchemy...... It's been a long time since I've seen it. "Maas. Lieutenant Colonel Hutz followed Roy. Behind Mastan, he also walked in front of Liu Mengchao. There was a vague melancholy on his face, as if everything in front of him was so far away that he even needed to frown and remember.
"yes...... The Battle of Ishvar Annihilation. ”
As Maas. Hutz's best friend, Roy. Stallan certainly knew what his friend was thinking. I saw him nod slowly, with a solemn look on his face.
A national alchemist stained with blood?
Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the strange looks on the faces of the two men, and couldn't help but think. According to his psychological profile of the Scar Man, Liu Mengchao probably knew the general truth about the Annihilation War of Ishvar. This can be said to be a genocidal event in this world. When you think about it, you can't help but feel a little depressed.
"A lot of people must have died at the time, right?"
Liu Mengchao followed Roy. Colonel Mastan walked to Edward's door and whispered.
Roy. Mastan didn't answer, just nodded solemnly.
"A lot, almost bloodshed." Maas. Xiuzi's voice rang in Liu Mengchao's ears, "Until now, I still wonder how I survived from such a hell at that time. ”
Alive?
"Yes. It is a beast that comes to life as a human being, not completely immersed in the slaughter. ”
Roy. Mastan said coldly, and directly stretched out his hand and pressed it against the stone door. I saw him slowly exert force, and the door was gently pushed open.
Light rushed in through this gap in an instant, like a tidal wave, and instantly filled the entire space.
"The Scar Man should have fallen into a coma by now due to excessive blood loss, right?"
Before stepping into the cage created by the Edwards brothers, Roy. Mastan's voice was already ringing. He lowered his head and glanced at the blood that seemed to have soaked his ankle. Said in a deep voice.
"We're going to go back to the center with the Scar, but we don't want to go back to the center with the body of the Scar." Maas. Xiuz said a bad joke, "I think this situation is the best situation now." ”
That being said, when Roy. Colonel Mastan and Maas. After Lieutenant Colonel Xiuzi and the two walked in, they still felt a strange sight.
Blood was everywhere, but no matter which way you looked, you couldn't find a single person in this cell, the scarred man who had killed alchemists from at least fifteen countries.
There were no bodies that were already breathing, and there were no sudden attacks. The whole space was as quiet as a tomb. There is even a hint of a disgusting stench.
"It's ......"
Roy. Mastan squatted down directly, and the blood mercilessly stained the corners of his clothes, making him frown unconsciously.
"Escaped."
Liu Mengchao looked at the scene in front of him and said subconsciously. He frowned. To be honest, Liu Mengchao really didn't expect that under the situation of being attacked like himself, the Scar Man would be able to escape from this completely enclosed space.
Sounds a little too incredible, doesn't it?
"It's a hole. He made a hole in the ground. ”
Maas. Xiuz's sense of smell seems to be better than that of Roy. Colonel Mastan was even more perceptive, and strode directly to the very center of this closed stone chamber.
"It's alchemy."
Roy. Mastan followed closely and looked over. I saw blood all around the hole. It's as if someone has just washed it with blood.
"Escaped so fast, even deceived Liu Mengchao's eyes. I have to say that this man's vitality is really tenacious. "Roy. Mastan sighed, glanced at Liu Mengchao, and pointed to the cave in front of him.
"It's directly connected to the sewer pipe. He must have escaped directly through the sewers. "Roy. Mastan silently estimated everything that had just happened, his tone was cold and emotionless, "This kind of thing should be the first time he has encountered it, so he was a little panicked in the process of escaping." ”
"But we stopped the bleeding first, otherwise we would have been able to find his body directly down this sewer pipe." Maas. Xiuz stands in Roy. Beside Mastan, he whispered, "You see, the blood has crumbs of clothing in it, which must have fallen when he wrapped the wound." ”
"Indeed."
Roy. Mastan nodded, and with a light grip of his hands on the fallen strand of clothing, he picked it up directly.
"It looks like he's pressed for time, otherwise he wouldn't have just tore his clothes like this. The edges were not even at all, and his hands must have been shaking badly at the time. ”
Roy. Colonel Mastan speculated a little bit about what might happen at that time, and turned his head to Liu Mengchao and said, "It seems that because of this matter, it is impossible to directly promote Liu Mengchao to become a national alchemist." ”
Liu Mengchao didn't speak, just nodded silently. In fact, this was already expected when Liu Mengchao entered this closed stone room. After all, Liu Mengchao's Assassin's Creed enhancement allows him to use his sixth sense directly to observe the world in front of him instead of using his vision.
For example, when Liu Mengchao entered the closed stone chamber, he did not see any red points of light representing hostility, and similarly, the yellow points of light representing the mission did not appear in Liu Mengchao's perspective.
"The sensitive rat dodged the nose of the military dog."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Maas. Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz touched his nose and laughed directly.
"I ran away in vain, but I think she's so badly injured, she shouldn't be committing crimes in the near future. Either way, we can have peace of mind for a long time. Am I right, Roy, the national alchemist. Mr. Mastan. ”
The two of them were already too familiar, so the teasing between each other seemed to become commonplace. It's just that for Liu Mengchao, there are really some nostalgic scenes. He hadn't seen such a friend for too long.
"That's right! When I get out, I'll show you a picture of my daughter! She's so cute! ”
Maas. Xiuz said excitedly.
Liu Mengchao and Roy. Colonel Mastan and the two looked at each other in unison, and both found a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.
In some ways, for this Maas. Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz's view, Liu Mengchao and Roy. Colonel Mastan is exactly the same.
A reliable ...... A good man who likes his daughter and wife very much.
"You're really not fit to be a soldier." Liu Mengchao directly turned around and walked out of this dim stone room. Roy. Mastan followed closely behind Liu Mengchao and also walked out directly. I saw an indescribable wry smile on his face.
"Originally, I wanted to arrest Liu Mengchao, but your news was nothing more than a smoke bomb we released." As soon as it came out, Roy. Mastan's voice was already ringing in Liu Mengchao's ears, "At that time, Maas. Xiuz thought that it was possible that the scarred man still had a co-conspirator in the military department, but now it seems that it made us worry too much at the time. ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't you really want to look at my daughter's picture? ”
Before Liu Mengchao answered, Maas. Xiuz had already taken out a photo of his daughter from his bosom and looked at Liu Mengchao and Roy. Mastan gestured in front of them.
"I'm going back to the Central Committee soon, and the National Alchemist assessment will begin soon. By the way, Liu Mengchao, I have already reported your name. ”
So fast?
Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows, although he was a little surprised, he still nodded to show that he was clear.
"Don't thank me." Maas. Xiuzi shook his hand at Liu Mengchao and pointed at Roy. "All of this was reported in the name of the East Side Command. To know Roy. Colonel Mastan has unearthed the role of the Edward brothers, the youngest national alchemist in history! ”
With Maas. Xiuz's voice gradually fluttered in the air, and his people followed as they walked farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared. Wait until Liu Mengchao and Roy. When the two of them came back to their senses, there was no longer this lover colonel in front of them.
"It may sound a little reluctant, but I bet you, when you're in the center, Maas. Xiuz will definitely drag you to his house to see his daughter. ”
Roy. Mastan said to Liu Mengchao with a determined face.
Liu Mengchao didn't squeak, just frowned, thinking about what might happen next.
Central, State Alchemist.
How long do you have to be in this world?
This also seems to be an unsolvable puzzle.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, this is the most real problem in front of Liu Mengchao. (To be continued......)
