Chapter 58: The Fifth Institute

What's even more interesting?

Liu Mengchao smiled as an only son, and the eyes of the Edward brothers couldn't help but focus on Liu Mengchao's body. Their gaze moved with Liu Mengchao, and rose and fell with Liu Mengchao's breathing.

"Wait...... Liu Mengchao......"

Just as Liu Mengchao was about to walk out of the door, Edward suddenly reached out and stopped Liu Mengchao.

"Are you recovered?"

Liu Mengchao turned around and looked at Brother Edward with some surprise. He had thought that the Brotherhood of Edward, who had discovered the truth about the Philosopher's Stone, would be even more devastated. But unexpectedly, they seem to be rejuvenated now.

It's interesting.

Liu Mengchao thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl. I saw him slowly walk to the side of the Edward brothers, lean down to look at the two brothers, and said with a smile.

"What new ideas do you have now?"

New ideas?

Hearing Liu Mengchao's words, Edward subconsciously looked at his younger brother Alphons. The younger brother, who was completely covered in armor, also nodded vigorously when he saw his brother's gaze.

"I did remember something." Edward thought in a deep voice as he touched his chin with his hand, "I remember when I met Mr. Margarg, he told me...... Hopefully I'll be able to discover the truth behind the truth. ”

The truth behind the truth?

Liu Mengchao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Edward's words. The truth behind the truth, which sounds like a big secret is hidden, is an interesting thing to look at.

"Interesting, what is the truth behind the so-called truth?" , Liu Mengchao asked with a smile.

Edward shook his head and spread his hands, "I don't know. No clue at all. If I could know what the truth is behind the truth, I'll tell you back now, Liu Mengchao. ”

Is it just the truth behind the so-called truth?

Liu Mengchao frowned as he thought about it. He vaguely realized that he seemed to be chasing the truth behind a truth. But it must be something different from what the Edwards brothers are pursuing, right? After all, the two brothers just wanted to get their bodies back to their original state.

And what I ask for is even more weird.

"The truth behind the so-called truth...... Does it mean that the closer we get to the truth, the closer we are to the truth behind that truth? ”

In the midst of the silence, Alphonse's voice suddenly rang out. His voice was a little weak, and it sounded like he was lacking in confidence. But as soon as he said his words, Edward's eyes lit up instantly.

"Liu Mengchao, is there a map!?" said. Edward patted his head and laughed, "I forgot that Liu Mengchao is the first time you have come to Central City. How do you have a map here? Al, get my bag out! ”

"Okay, brother, is this a map of Central City?"

Alphonse said as he pulled out a map from Edward's backpack. Liu Mengchao looked over and saw that it was a map of the central city with the Great Presidential Palace as the core.

"This is it."

Edward nodded, and his finger was already on the map. I saw his fingers moving slowly along the lines on the map. One moment to the right, the other to the left.

"When I first obtained the national alchemist qualification, I wanted to find some clues about the Philosopher's Stone, so I read all the research materials in the entire Central City. But I didn't find anything great about the research in the institute. ”

"Oh?"

Hear Edward's words. Liu Mengchao's head also followed. I saw his eyes narrow, staring directly at the map in Edward's hand and laughing.

"If Marg really researched the Philosopher's Stone here, then it is indispensable to use a large number of human lives as raw materials for the research of the Philosopher's Stone, right?"

"That's right, that's what happened in a while!" Edward slammed the table. He shouted, "There are now four military-run alchemy institutes in Central City. Mr. Marger is in charge of the Third Research Institute...... They are right in this place. ”

"Chengdong?"

Liu Mengchao's eyes narrowed, looking in the direction of Edward's finger.

"Yes. But...... What if the Third Institute, under the jurisdiction of Mr. Marge, is just a front? ”

"Under the guise of it?"

Liu Mengchao slowly moved his gaze in the direction of Edward's finger, and stopped in the direction of Edward's finger. I saw the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curl up, and he laughed directly.

"Isn't it here? The Fifth Institute? I see there's a discarded word next to you? ”

"This is it." Edward nodded, a smile on his face, "I guess if there is really a research on the Philosopher's Stone, this is probably the most likely place, right?" ”

"Why do you say that, brother?"

Alphonse looked in the direction of Edward's finger, but was still confused. He still hadn't figured out why Edward was so sure, and he was pointing in the same direction as the site where the Philosopher's Stone had been studied.

"Simple, right? Even if the government wants to spend a lot of human lives to refine the Philosopher's Stone, it is a disgraceful thing, and if ordinary people know about it, I am afraid that what will happen will not be so simple. There may even be a riot. Liu Mengchao said with a grin, his finger lightly tapped the direction of Edward's finger, and said, "But it's different here." ”

"I don't understand ......"

Alphonse shook his head subconsciously.

"Because next to this Fifth Institute, there's a prison. If I'm not mistaken, death row prisoners generally don't return their bodies to their families after they have been executed. So if we look at it in another direction, if a condemned prisoner does not die on the gallows of the prison, but dies in the ......"

"Died in the research room of the Fifth Research Institute."

"I got the raw materials without knowing it."

"It won't attract the attention of the people, and it can hide people's eyes and ears in a bright way." Liu Mengchao said, his eyes collided with Edward's volley, and they both laughed in unison.

"Looks like the two of us are thinking of a place."

"Go see?"

Edward suddenly raised his head and asked coldly.

"Be sure to check it out."

Liu Mengchao's gaze fell again, and fell on the location of the Fifth Research Institute. Now not only Edward, but even Liu Mengchao deeply felt that the Fifth Research Institute should be the refining place of the Philosopher's Stone.

"When?"

Liu Mengchao frowned, and suddenly thought of this question.

"Of course it's night!"

"Night......"

Liu Mengchao heard Edward's head, tilted his head in the direction of the window, and laughed.

"The sun is about to set." (To be continued......)
