On the second day of the attack on the 22 Institute, a hospital in Central

Habock was lying alone on the hospital bed in the room, and after Liu Yu intervened in the established plot, Mastan, who had been pierced through the waist and abdomen by Rust during the battle, was very lucky to escape the catastrophe. However, Habock, who was injured before the reincarnation arrived, was still as in the original book, with spinal nerve damage and complete paralysis of his lower limbs.

The slightly deserted room made the silent Habock look very depressed. The girlfriend I met in Central was an artificial person, which was enough to hit people, and now my military career was more directly ruined in the hands of this woman. In the face of the dead Rust, Habock has lost even an object of resentment and anger.

Habock, who was originally calm, suddenly struggled to sit up from the hospital bed, and at this time, he could only rely on his hands to move his body, completely losing his former chic taste. After finally straightening up, Habock, who looked at his lower body, fell into a deep silence.

The willpower honed by years of military service allowed Habock to quickly overcome this emotion. Looking out the window at the beautiful sunset, Habock gradually calmed down.

The rhythmic sound of footsteps rang out in the corridor outside the ward. With the sound of the door being pushed open, Mastan and Hokee walked in in neat military uniforms, and behind them were Liu Yu, who was wearing a trench coat marked by the Yinhai Youxiao Organization. "Habock, are you feeling better?" As soon as Mastan entered the room, he asked with great concern. "You're going to get well sooner! We still have a lot to do. ”

Habock remained silent, the white sheets on his hospital bed twisting and wrinkling in his unconscious hands. As the door was pushed again, Sergeant Filip and the Elric brothers entered. The trio met by chance in the hospital hallway, with Edward and Alphonse visiting the wounded Habbock, and Sergeant Filip bringing information from Lieutenant Hocke.

The drawings brought by Sergeant Filip were unfolded in Mastan's hands. It was a map that recorded Lieutenant Hokee's rough estimate of the movement based on his own footsteps and other data. Hokee believes that with this drawing, he should be able to find the approximate location of the android lair.

"After entering the underground of the Third Research Institute, the location of the gate that Alphonse and I arrived at the last was estimated by the calculated number of steps, and there was no clear report to the higher authorities of the Emperor, and in the area centered on the Institute, it was found that Hokee was explaining to Mastan the beginning and end of the markings on the map.

"CENTCOM?" Edward, who felt sharp, immediately shifted his attention to the center of the city, where there was a castle-like building that was built by the supreme power of the country. "And this building"

"The Great Presidential Palace." Seeing Edward's somewhat incredulous expression, Mastan said playfully: "The androids are gathered underground, is it possible that the Great President has a connection with them?" ”

Based on the information obtained before, the relationship between the president and the android made everyone present ponder. For the sake of prudence, Mastan still included the entire upper echelons of the army in the list of suspicions. After reminding Brother Elric to take care. Mastan let the two of them go first.

"And what about you! Do you want to choose to side with me? Although Liu Yu saved his life when he was underground, this did not reduce the suspicion in Mastan's heart. Until Liu's purpose is determined, Mastan cannot give him credit. "Even on the opposite side of the country"

"The Philosopher's Stone." Superfluous lies in front of the wise are nothing but stupid acts that insult everyone's intelligence. In countless reincarnation worlds, Liu Yu, who has dealt with countless heroes, heroes, and hypocrites, knows this very well. Since it is necessary to cooperate openly and honestly, sincerity is the first condition for gaining trust.

"My purpose is the Philosopher's Stone, nothing else is an obstacle. Since it has been around you once, there will be a next one. Although I don't understand why the androids will find you, I need such an opportunity, so I will help you! It's as simple as that. ”

"The Philosopher's Stone? I see! Mastan looked down and muttered to himself, thinking for a moment before replying, "I still can't fully trust you, but this reason is enough."

So if you're really sure you're going to get involved, I have to stress again, maybe our opponent will be the country itself? ”,

Mastan still didn't fully trust Liu Yu, and his wariness of a stranger was a very common thing. Liu Yu himself understands this very well.

"If you want to be trusted, you have to make a statement and make a difference, right? Colonel Roy Mastein. On Liu Yu's handsome face, a very confident and bright smile appeared. I just need a chance to prove my sincerity. ”

"No problem! You have chosen a very unwise path! Mastan felt that he suddenly admired the man in front of him. It would be dangerous to come up with such a choice! ”

"Dangerous?" Liu Yu's smile became even brighter, and he shrugged his shoulders and said absently: "That's the main theme of my life now!" ”

Liu Yu, who had received the initial approval of Colonel Mastan, walked to the window and stood side by side with, and through the transparent glass on the window, the two watched the Elric brothers gradually disappear in the sunset.

"These two guys who never want to stop will bring many waves to come." Liu Yu was silent and said secretly in his heart.

"I'm sorry!" Habock, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Regarding this matter, please let me quit!" ”

Looking at the surprised eyes of his comrades, Habock's hands grasping the sheets involuntarily clenched again. "I don't feel it in my legs anymore!"

The room fell silent for a moment, Mastan's eyes were full of disbelief, and Hokee, who had always been known for his calmness, also had a sad look. In the solemn atmosphere, Liu Yu, who turned his back to everyone, sighed slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving." Habock said like a self-imposed one.

Mu Yuchen, who was flying continuously, returned to the center of this world at the fastest speed, the center of Amestorius, Central.

"Back to Centraal, mission 1 is completed, source point 4 is obtained, and mission 2 is opened."

"Quest 2: You can choose branch 1 to help the Elric brothers capture androids and reward them with the source song. Proviso: Scar and Lan Fang survive. Failure penalty: deduct four source points;

You can choose branch two, destroy the android capture operation, and reward the source point Lianliao with the condition: Russ survives. Failure Punishment: Feigong. ”

"Five-fold punishment??" Mu Yuchen looked at the conditions listed on task two, and there were some incredible secret paths. "It's far more dangerous to interfere with the original plot than to follow the story. Such a choice of tasks is, in a sense, a division of camps.

On the other hand, it is also to give some people a higher chance of getting rewards. But these rewards are all on the surface

Judging from the strength of the android side and the Elric brothers, even if Rust is dead, the android side still has an absolute advantage. The high-end peak power has not yet appeared on both sides. Neither the "Father" who sits on the throne of the earth nor Hohenheim, who roams the land of Amerstolis, will not appear for the time being.

Helping the strong side is actually rewarded more than helping the weak side, and this arrangement is full of all kinds of pitfalls. Edward's rudimentary plan is simply illusory for the reincarnation, and with the restrictions of the mission, it is worth thinking about what is hidden in it.

Mu Yuchen couldn't help but start using his brain. Calculate the pros and cons. With six reincarnators scattered in the city, the air was filled with the smell of variables, and Mu Yuchen still couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. The "father" side, who has the most powerful power in this world, why did he enter such an embarrassing situation?

"I really don't understand! Infinite space is intended. Mu Yuchen shook his head puzzled. Let's wait and see what happens! ”

After flying for nearly forty hours, Mu Yuchen finally arrived within the range of Central. Halfway through the desert, Mu Yuchen returned to the ruins of Xelkels. The life of the people of Ishbaru is now basically settled, and the treasures that have been buried for many years are being excavated little by little. However, among these things, there was nothing Mu Yuchen hoped for.

Mu Yuchen, who was walking on the street, heard many rumors about the national alchemist Edward Elric. According to the established plot direction, the peeas man seems to have begun to use himself as bait and began to lure out Scar and the android. In the footage from the Green Goblin's radar, Edward is jumping up and down, using alchemy all over the city, and the people who are being helped are in a very happy mood. And Scar was following Edward's swaggering route, silently following. Everything seemed to be proceeding as planned, but a raging dark cloud had already loomed over the city.

"What are you thinking about? The Erlik brothers, Hua and Scar, had already started a war, and Mastan had left with Hokee because he was about to be transferred from the gendarmerie. Mu Yuchen was hidden at the top of a certain house, looking at the three people who were fighting in the alley. Where are the other reincarnators now? Variables? ”
