Chapter Ninety-Nine: Goodbye Fullmetal Alchemist
Pushing open the door, the starlight shone in with Liu Mengchao's steps, paving the road in front of him. The room suddenly went from darkness to infinite light.
"Who is it!?"
Even in his sleep, Edward remained vigilant. He slammed up from his bed, half-prostrateged, and watched with great vigilance as the man at the door came.
"Liu Mengchao."
Liu Mengchao reported his own name, and turned his head to look at the armor standing not far from him. It was Edward's younger brother Alphonse. I saw that Alphonse didn't seem to be any different now, still attaching his soul to a pair of armor, but Liu Mengchao could still feel that this man was very different now.
I can't say why, Liu Mengchao's gaze became interesting.
"Liu Mengchao, why did you come back?" Edward's voice couldn't help but calm down, only to see him give Alphonse a gentle glance, and then directly set his gaze on Liu Mengchao, waiting for his answer. You must know that not everyone can figure out what Liu Mengchao has done.
Cooperating with androids and attacking the president together, no matter who this matter is put on, it can't be believed, let alone a person of unknown origin like Liu Mengchao. didn't directly regard Liu Mengchao as a traitor, shouted and shouted, and let all the troops rush over to catch Liu Mengchao, which can already be regarded as Edward's great righteousness.
For Edward who is so righteous, Liu Mengchao has a quiet smile on his face, he seems to have thought that Edward would say such things, and he has already thought of his current identity.
Although a traitor is not yet counted, a murderer who plots to kill the president is extremely appropriate. Liu Mengchao also does not want to deny his identity.
Compared with the current Liu Mengchao compared to before he just entered this world, he is like a person with a clear goal, and he already has a mature plan for Yiqiē.
Therefore, the smile on Liu Mengchao's face became more and more intense. I saw him smile and nodded. Slowly walked in front of Edward and said slowly.
"First of all, I did attack the president, you heard it right, and I was not threatened by anyone." Liu Mengchao said as he glanced at Alphons, who was still holding the wind outside the door, and said with a slight smile, "But I think if you were in my position, you might do the same." ”
"Will it?"
Edward's eyes narrowed. stared at Liu Mengchao without saying a word. He wasn't sure if he would do such a thing, because something too sensational.
"I don't know, but there are some things I think if you knew about it, you would have made that decision." Liu Mengchao said slowly, although he didn't know the ending of the story of the Fullmetal Alchemist World, he still had a similar understanding of the story.
Any story should almost be about the quest to defeat the final boss, right? And apparently, the final boss seems to be the so-called father. How can a person who uses the whole country as a material for refining not be an evil person?
Come to think of this. The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled slightly, and he laughed directly.
"Edward, do you know the shape of our country?"
Liu Mengchao slowly walked out of the room, and Edward walked out after him. Starlight sprinkled in the direction the two men were heading. It also illuminated the expression on Liu Mengchao's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The shape of the country?
For Edward, he and Liu Mengchao are completely different people. Although he grew up in a small village, he and Alphonse began to travel around the country in order to regain their health. They already have a great idea of the shape of the country. At least it won't be the same as Liu Mengchao, it will take a long time to figure it out. So Liu Mengchao just mentioned it casually, and Edward squatted down directly. I drew it on the ground with my hands.
That's a circle. For alchemists like Edward, who have already seen the Gate of Truth, they no longer need to draw alchemy arrays in order to cast alchemists. All you need to do is put your hands together, and it is enough to create a circular pattern and directly use alchemy.
But now Edward stared at the circle he had drawn on the ground, and frowned slightly. He didn't know for a moment why Liu Mengchao drew the outline of the country by himself.
"Don't you feel familiar?"
Liu Mengchao's voice rang in Edward's ears, and he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes opened involuntarily.
"Doesn't it feel like an alchemical circle?"
Liu Mengchao's smiling voice rang in Edward's ears, as if the qiē just now was as clear and simple as Liu Mengchao expected.
"It's not wrong to be round, and it's not unreasonable to say that the appearance of the country is very similar to alchemy, isn't this kind of thing just for the sake of the current situation?" Edward raised his head and asked towards Liu Mengchao.
"What if I say no?"
Liu Mengchao responded quietly, the expression on his face still calm. He already knew enough about this matter. Or for Liu Mengchao, this matter is really clear.
"I don't believe that if something is not a coincidence, more evidence is needed." Edward said slowly, the expression on his face became more aggressive, he seemed to have expected such a situation for a long time, and even a little more detailed than Liu Mengchao thought.
"Alphonse was unconscious during that fight." Edward looked at Liu Mengchao's expression and said softly, "So I'm also suspicious, there are some things that are drowned in that battle." ”
"That's right!" Hearing Edward's words, Liu Mengchao snapped his fingers, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Maybe it's not too good to say, but I think it's still a very simple thing." ”
"Simple?"
Edward couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Mengchao's words.
"What if I say that the president is not the president? What if I say that this country is not a country of alchemists? What if I said that this country, from the moment it was born, had its own mission? ”
The Great President? Alchemy? Mission?
Edward lowered his head and pondered, every sentence of Liu Mengchao seemed to have a deep meaning, which made him involuntarily want to think about it carefully, but the details made him want to think about it in more detail.
"We all know that there are androids in this country. We all know that in order to create an artificial human, you must have a Philosopher's Stone. And the so-called Philosopher's Stone, the best and most usable material, is the so-called human being. ”
As soon as Liu Mengchao's words fell, his fingers were already on the ground in front of Edward.
"The so-called state, what is the most?"
"People!"
Edward said in a deep voice.
"It's people. What can man make? "Philosopher's Stone!"
Edward almost gasped and answered Liu Mengchao's question. All he could do now was feel that his back was beginning to break out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but start to shiver. Edward is not the same as Liu Mengchao, he can even be said to be the most talented national alchemist of all time, although because of his age, in some respects he is not as good as those national alchemists who have experienced war, but for Edward, one thing is certain.
His perception of alchemy is definitely one of the best in the country. Therefore, Edward didn't even hesitate much, and began to think directly according to Liu Mengchao's train of thought.
It is not impossible to use the entire country as raw materials for alchemy, and use them to refine the Philosopher's Stone. On the contrary, even if such a whimsical thing is really refined, it is absolutely possible to succeed. Because for alchemy, there is only one principle.
Equivalent exchange!
As long as this principle is met, anything can happen.
"First of all, the East!"
Edward's hand snapped around several locations on the right side of the map. There are not many peculiar places in these places, they look like they are randomly drawn by someone else.
But for Edward, these points were sufficient. He had seen the formation of the Philosopher's Stone in the Fifth Research Room in the center. He knew that on the right side of the refining array, there were these places.
"If you look at the riots that have occurred in the country over the years, you will find that the locations of these places are very coincidental, as if someone had drawn them from the sky." Liu Mengchao's voice rang softly in Edward's ears, "I think, what kind of coincidences are not enough to explain these things, right?" Not to mention ......"
"What's more?"
Edward turned his head abruptly and asked aloud as he looked at Liu Mengchao. He's almost completely able to withstand the shocking news now
"What's more, Edward, you must know that when Mr. President and that Mr. Greid were at war, he accidentally revealed some little secrets."
A little secret?
No, no, no...... It's unlikely, right?
Although Edward had deduced the truth of the country with the help of Liu Mengchao, the truth under this truth still made Edward not believe it.
"Cyborg...... It turns out that he can be president too! (To be continued......)
