Talking about dyeing hair for people who don't have hair, talking about honeymoons for people who don't have wives, what Liu Mengchao is doing now is probably like this, but it's a little stricter.

He talked about children to couples who could never have children again in their lives.

As a wife, Izumi was now completely speechless, she just stood up, and a layer of cold air emanated along this woman's body, and it circled around her sternly and coldly, making people feel that winter had suddenly come, and the cold was speechless.

It's just that Liu Mengchao doesn't seem to be aware of such a scene. He just raised his head quietly, his gaze as calm as the water of the lake, wafting quietly under the moonlight, as if he was also waiting for the answer of the spring in front of him.

His hand clenched into a fist, and Izumi's eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Mengchao's body, as if he wanted to see through every inch of the slightest thought in this man's heart. It's just that although the expression on his wife's face was so painful, the man, who was the husband, had already stood up and walked directly towards Liu Mengchao.

A fist as big as a casserole stopped directly in front of Liu Mengchao, and it seemed that it would directly hit Liu Mengchao's face in the next second, directly smashing the man unconscious. The two Edward brothers were like chickens hiding in a storm, and they were so timid that they couldn't say a word about the dinner that suddenly turned into such a scene.

They trembled, but they couldn't make a sound. It's just because the recent situation in front of me is too weird, so weird that Cheng Dù makes people tremble subconsciously.

"I can't guarantee success, but I think it's worth a try." Liu Mengchao didn't feel the weirdness of the current situation at all, and he was still talking to the old god.

"Please leave, you're not welcome here." The husband looked back at his chess pieces and directly rejected Liu Mengchao's words, "We...... We want to have children, but it's too late to say anything, so please don't hurt my wife's heart again. ”

He made it very clear that just to prevent his wife from being hurt again, the man was willing to grit his teeth and refuse any possibility.

All he loves is his wife, that's it, simple, and very apt.

"Wait...... You're talking about the Philosopher's Stone, right? ”

Suddenly, Izumi directly interrupted her husband's words. Although she should be a kind housewife, she has now directly broken this strange silence, "Brother Edward has already told me that refining the Philosopher's Stone must use human life. In other words. Although I am willing to give my life for my own child, I absolutely do not want my child to be born with someone else's life, which is my deepest thought as a mother. I refuse. ”

Refuse.

The two words are simple and crisp, and after saying all of them, he has already turned around. Although she had her back to Liu Mengchao, Liu Mengchao was able to know the entanglement and pain in the heart of the former mother in front of her through her constantly trembling shoulders. If you say that the mothers in the world are actually the same, maybe not too much, if the master wants to say that Izumi is a good mother. Liu Mengchao will definitely not have any objections.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "If I say ...... Doesn't it have to sacrifice someone's life? ”

Izumi turned his head sharply. At this moment, it was as if even the lights became brighter. There was a hint of pleading in her mature eyes, as if a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love was willing to believe the most false love words in the world. It is the gaze of hope and belief from the heart, and it is the truest prayer.

Look at such a gaze. Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded.

"So, there is no end to the sky, I think in some ways...... There is still a certain possibility of success. I didn't ask this question casually. It's not just about saying things that don't go through the brain. I really think there's a chance of success in this way. ”

With that, Liu Mengchao directly pulled out the chair and sat down quietly. I saw him raise his head, look directly into the eyes of the couple, and say calmly.

"Now, would you like to hear my unrealistic thoughts?"

No one spoke, not even the chirps outside the window, only the moonlight staggered into the window and sprinkled the quiet dining room.

"Edward and his two brothers tried to become their own mothers, but failed." Looking at the people who were quiet in front of him, Liu Mengchao finally began to tell his thoughts, "In my personal opinion, if you analyze it purely from the substances contained in the human body, there is nothing wrong with the actions of the two Edward brothers. ”

Liu Mengchao said, not giving the Edward brothers a chance to interject at all, so he continued alone.

But what if we think about it from a different perspective? Edward and I both discovered the refining of the Philosopher's Stone. It is a legendary miracle made of human life. But what is the difference between this miracle and ordinary people? ”

"You mean ......"

Edward subconsciously frowned, although refining his mother's memories was a nightmare that he didn't want to think about for the rest of his life, but this did not prevent this genius alchemist from active thinking.

He suddenly realized the true meaning of Liu Mengchao's words from a certain level.

"Yes, it's the soul." Liu Mengchao raised a finger and said softly, "Compared with the difference between a person and a substance that can constitute a person, the most important and conspicuous thing is a person's soul, right?" We can refine into a human body, but we can't refine into a living person with a soul. This is where the gap lies, in other words, perhaps this soul is the product that can truly transcend the so-called rules of alchemy, and there is nothing in the world that can be exchanged for its equivalent. ”

Is the soul priceless?

Edward nodded slightly, the core point of Liu Mengchao's words just now was this.

"But we've seen it in a book......," Alvons' voice whispered, "and a man's blood contains a soul." So when Edward and I became mothers, we also used our blood as a carrier......"

"And then exchange the mother's soul?" Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows, "But isn't the result the best proof?" This conclusion is wrong. The human soul is nowhere to be found, and it is not known where it came from. In other words, the human soul can only be born, but not exchanged. ”

"Now that you know this, don't you think you have some to eat, Liu Mengchao?" Edward's master Izumi now seems to have returned to normal, or he has forcibly suppressed his feelings for the child in his heart, and just pretends to discuss alchemical knowledge with Liu Mengchao calmly.

"That's right, that's why I said the problem was coming."

Liu Mengchao said, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Alchemy is ultimately an equivalent exchange, where we get what we give. So if we think about it from another angle, as long as we want to get, we have to give something. Liu Mengchao turned his head, looked at Edward's arm that had turned into steel, and said with a smile, "So for Edward, what if an arm can be re-refined?" ”

"You mean ......"

Izumi now finally understood Liu Mengchao's train of thought.

"Yes, looking ahead, we don't ask to be our own children. But we can try to refine our lost organs. I guess that's easier in comparison, right? If you can really refine your own organs into ...... Maybe it's not impossible to have a child. ”

Liu Mengchao said slowly.

"No...... It's not that simple. After listening to Liu Mengchao's words, a smile finally appeared on Quan's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Liu Mengchao, your train of thought is right, I think Edward, they are also working along this line of thought now, right? It's not for the sake of refining the human body, but just to restore one's own body? ”

"Hmm...... So I discussed with Al that it was not necessary to refine the human body, and it was not necessary to rely on the Philosopher's Stone. Both of us believe that there must be other ways to restore our bodies to their original state! ”

Edward said firmly, and Alphonse, who had been quiet on the other side, nodded along with his brother.

"You can, but I'm different." Facing her husband's worried gaze, Izumi shook her head professionally with a smile, made a reassuring expression for her husband, and continued, "I...... The first child was a miscarriage, and after that, the doctor had already determined that I would never be able to have another child in my life. If there are still children, they will be aborted directly like now...... So...... That's why at that time I wanted to use the human body to refine ......."

Izumi spoke very slowly, and he could hear every word clearly, which made him feel even more pitiful and unbearable.

It's just that Liu Mengchao seems to have expected the qiē in front of him. I saw that he shook his head slowly, but the corners of his mouth turned up directly.

"Maybe it's because of the loss of my memory, so I have a little more strange and completely unreasonable knowledge in my head." Liu Mengchao said, his eyes narrowed, "You guys...... Do you really know what a child is? ”

What is a child?

Isn't that obvious?

Izumi turned her head and looked at her husband, who also looked at his wife.

"It's scary and weird to say, but hear me on."

Liu Mengchao said sternly.

At this moment, the four alchemists in the room all held their breath, waiting for Liu Mengchao's words. (To be continued......)
