Chapter Eighty-Five: The Man Who Caught the Accident
"Big Big President, why are you here!?"
Edward, who was in the research report review center, looked at the person who appeared in front of him in disbelief, and was completely speechless in surprise. He didn't expect that President Da would appear here and appear in front of him.
What's going on with this fall?
Edward thought as he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the person standing next to the president. He was tall and muscular, as if he were an Alphonse without armor.
"Lieutenant Colonel Armstrong......"
Edward's words trembled even slightly. He couldn't figure out why this was happening in front of him.
"The president is now here to inspect the southern front, so I will be the personal guard." Armstrong patted his chest and said proudly, "I heard that Edward, you came here to conduct the national alchemist's review?" β
"Hmm." Edward nodded, "Because the validity period of the national alchemist has passed, it took a little time to go through the formalities.
"Oh, Edward's censorship? Bring me your form, Edward. I saw the president take the review form from Edward's hand, and then turn to his adjutant and say, "Seal." β
Syllable!
The president didn't even look at Edward's title, and just stamped his seal. His actions were so decisive that he didn't even give Edward time to reflect.
"...... this?"
Edward was a little unsure, after all, this was a little too sloppy, right? Could it be that the current audit of the national alchemist is completely unimportant at all?
"Hehe, seeing your active performance in various places, I am full of confidence in you! Fullmetal Alchemist! The president seemed to see through Edward's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile, "You came to the south to cause a huge commotion, right?" β
Commotion?
That doesn't sound like a wonderful term, so let's explain?
Edward waved his hand subconsciously. Somewhat embarrassed, he replied, "No, my alchemy teacher is in Dabris, and I'm here to visit him." β
Edward's teacher? Hearing Edward's words, the Grand President slowly touched his chin and nodded.
"If you can become Edward's teacher, you should also be a great alchemist, right?"
Edward nodded his head, although it was somewhat arbitrary to say this, but Edward, who had traveled around the country, had not yet seen an alchemist more powerful than his master.
That's the simplest thing.
Edward was sure, so his eyes were determined.
"It's decided! I'll ask her when the time comes. Let her join the National Alchemist, right? β
"No, no, no...... It's better to give up on this idea......" Edward's voice even trembled a little. After all, no matter what aspect it is, if you insist that your master join the national alchemist, you must be prepared for the annihilation of the whole army......
After all...... His own master has become strong enough to be beyond the scope of humans.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Edward and Alphonse had always felt that their master was stronger than humans, but the truth was often more exaggerated than they thought.
This was the doorway to the Devil's Bar, into which Alphonse had been tied up. Although it was daytime and there weren't too many people around, the people at the door had already been able to explain it. Izumi and her husband have been blown into this bar like a hurricane.
No matter who it is. They were directly paralyzed to the ground by these two people, motionless, and completely fainted. Some of them are still collectively called human beings, possessing certain animal abilities. But this qiΔ was in front of these two people. It's like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and it breaks when you poke it.
That's the power of these two, right?
It's just that Liu Mengchao is not here, and when he learns that Alphonse has been kidnapped, he has already separated from the Quans and his wife. He chose to go to the command in the south. Look for Edward, who is currently conducting a national alchemist audit there. After all, Liu Mengchao's nose was already before this. I smelled something weird.
"There are a lot of people around......"
Liu Mengchao stood on the platform of the train station, casually sitting on a bench used for waiting. The wooden benches were deserted, and the station, which was supposed to be bustling, seemed to be suddenly less crowded.
Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes while quietly looking at his surroundings.
The parents who came out with their children seemed to be completely invisible, and the elderly people were completely disappeared one after another. Speaking of which, it would not be realistic to say that there are very few people on the platform of the railway station, after all, there are still at least nearly one or two hundred people here.
It's just that the composition of the crowd is very problematic. If all of them are twenty-one or twelve-year-old young people, it's a bit of a coincidence, right? Not to mention......
Liu Mengchao yawned, subconsciously stood up, and could feel that at this moment, at least twenty eyes were instantly focused on his body. Is it spying on yourself? Or is it ......
Liu Mengchao slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the station. Liu Mengchao didn't walk fast, enough for other people's eyes to follow him all the time, but strange things happened, until Liu Mengchao walked out of the train station, and the gaze that had been focused on himself disappeared in an instant.
Isn't the target me? In other words, it should be that a big man is coming to this train station?
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he sneered directly. This is really easy to see, although the flow of people in the train station has not decreased, but the composition of the personnel has changed a lot, it should be different for each age group because of age, but there will definitely not be so many capable young people in the train station.
Then the reason is obvious.
These people who appeared at the train station should all be soldiers.
And when they walked out of the train station, they were not monitored, in other words, these people were not there to monitor, but to ensure the safety of the train station.
"What the hell is going to be here?"
Liu Mengchao's eyebrows raised, and the curiosity in his heart had been directly seduced. He quietly melted into the crowd, as if a drop of water had melted directly into the ocean, and returned to the train station platform with the crowd.
"Boom Boom Boom ......"
The sound of the train crushing the rails slowly spread from a distance in the direction where Liu Mengchao was. Liu Mengchao's eyes narrowed, and when he looked in the direction of the sound, he could see the first person to jump off the stopped train.
Acquaintance.
Liu Mengchao reacted immediately.
Edward. Eric. But the soldiers guarding the train station weren't here for Edward, were they? Liu Mengchao can still tell this point. In the next second, another person jumped out of the train.
Whew......
Even if Liu Mengchao didn't look back, he could feel that the eyes of everyone around him had instantly gathered, and the eyes of those hidden soldiers were all focused on the man who had just jumped down. I saw that this man was wearing a straw hat and an orange Hawaiian-style short shirt on his upper body, looking like an uncle who had come to vacation.
But......
"The President?"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he laughed directly. It seems to get a little more interesting. Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao slowly walked in the direction where the president was, and at this moment, Edward also instantly discovered the strange situation.
He jerked around, his eyes barely popping out of their sockets.
"Big big president!?"
Edward screamed in surprise.
"Yo!" The Grand President laughed, patted Edward's shoulder and laughed, "I really didn't expect the scenery of Dabris to be so good!" β
Is it completely being followed?
Liu Mengchao leaned against the wall, looking at Edward, who was talking happily, or his face was full of surprise, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled. If this was just a coincidence, Liu Mengchao would not believe it.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao once again hid his figure in the dark shadows, secretly peeking at the communication between Edward and the president. Liu Mengchao's movements were very secretive, and the whole person seemed to have really become a shadow, floating quietly in this space.
On the other side, as a housewife, Izumi has already come to the front of his disciple.
"How? How is this deal? You have come to tell me the secret of attaching your soul to the armor, and I have come to tell you the secret of the android. This kind of equivalent exchange is not bad, is it? β
Izumi didn't speak, she just frowned, and then punched Gride in the face.
"An alchemist is a creator, not a trader who casually exchanges with others."
Izumi's words were clear, and the flames emanating from his eyes seemed to illustrate the same problem. She was reluctant to accept a deal that bordered on a threat.
But......
"Master...... Please, let my brother come here! β
Alphonse pleaded. For him, if there is a clue that can restore his body to its original state, he is not willing to give up no matter what. Not to mention, Liu Mengchao once put forward the theory of artificial organs. If it is said that the artificial man is to create a complete person, then isn't it easier to use these theories to create an organ!?
No...... Don't miss this opportunity! (To be continued......)
