Chapter 23: Interested in talking?
Blood splattered, accompanied by Edward's questioning, scattered in the lazy sunset. Liu Mengchao raised his hand, and the hidden blade that popped out was still stained with a little blood.
I saw the blood stains on the tip of the sword flowing slowly, and fell to the ground with a click.
"Liu Mengchao...... Why did you kill Rosa! ”
Edward shouted angrily, the expression on his face distorted. Although Liu Mengchao once killed the bishop of the Rett Sect in front of him, he ...... But he obviously shouldn't be such a person......
"Is human life like a mustard, is this the image I give people?"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth grinned, and then he laughed. I saw his eyes narrowed slightly, looking back and forth at Brother Edward, and directly spread his hands.
"You want to catch me?"
These were Liu Mengchao's slightly mocking words, but the two Edward brothers did not answer Liu Mengchao's words, they glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of resoluteness in each other's eyes. No, it's not so much a look of fortitude as a decision has been made.
"Smack!"
Edward clasped his palms together and looked directly at the direction where Liu Mengchao was. On the other side, before Liu Mengchao could make any moves, Alphonse had already rushed over directly. His huge figure seemed to have a little more dexterity at this moment, and he had already come to Liu Mengchao's side in just a few steps.
Sou!
The steely fist slammed directly into Liu Mengchao's face, and Alvons's movements would be so fast that he didn't even give Liu Mengchao the slightest time to react. In just a blink of an eye, the fist had already come to Liu Mengchao's eyes. It's close at hand, if Liu Mengchao can't dodge it, he will be knocked out by this fist in the next second. Liu Mengchao is sure that as long as his movements are slower for another second, this will definitely become his fate.
So Liu Mengchao moved. He lowered his head, and the whole person went straight forward like a dexterous ape. The deception approached Alphonse's arms. On top of his head was Alphonse's iron fist, but Liu Mengchao didn't have much horror on his face, as if he had expected such a situation.
With one hand, Liu Mengchao's palm pressed directly on Alvons' elbow. Before Alphonse could react, Liu Mengchao immediately exerted his strength, and the whole person directly threw Alphonse out. Liu Mengchao didn't use much force, just used the direction of Alphons's force, and then pushed it gently.
Pushing the boat down the river, this is the action made by Liu Mengchao.
Sure enough, everything was as Liu Mengchao expected. Under Liu Mengchao's counterattack, Alphonse subconsciously stumbled, and fell directly forward, and the armor made of steel smashed into the dirt in front of him with a bang.
"Boom, boom!"
Before Liu Mengchao could calm down, he suddenly found that the soil in front of him and left and right had risen sharply. It's really incredible, it was supposed to be hard and heavy soil, but at this moment, it seemed to suddenly turn into a fierce and high tide, and in the blink of an eye, it directly submerged Liu Mengchao.
The four high walls appeared straight in front of Liu Mengchao's eyes.
"What alchemy."
Liu Mengchao frowned slightly. Looking at the scene that suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. If Liu Mengchao's alchemist used water vapor to create illusions, the alchemy of the Edward brothers was to use the world's most vast land to directly change the form of the earth, carving all kinds of objects that could be used by them like carvings.
This ability is especially useful when you want to trap an enemy.
Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes. Raised his head. Originally, a blue sky could be seen above his head, but at this moment, he was also intimately sealed by the two Edward brothers, and there was no blue sky above his head, and there was no earth under his feet. There is no space in the front and back to the left and right to allow people to escape.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao grinned at the corner of his mouth, and laughed directly. It was the first time he had seen such a situation. It doesn't feel too bad to be tied up like this.
"Liu Mengchao ......"
At this moment, the words of the two Edward brothers came from outside the earthen wall that surrounded Liu Mengchao.
"Why did you kill Rosa?"
It was Edward's voice, and there was a hint of disbelief in it until now. After all, in Edward's opinion, Liu Mengchao is not a person who does not dare to kill, but for Rosa, he does not have any reason to kill this girl. Rosa is neither able to threaten Liu Mengchao's life, nor does she hold any great secrets, she is just an ordinary girl, not even of any importance, and even used by Liu Mengchao as a tool that can be exchanged for equal value.
But...... Why did Liu Mengchao kill her?
"Can't figure it out?"
Liu Mengchao's voice sounded again at this moment. I saw that Liu Mengchao, who was originally locked in the high wall, simply relaxed completely, and sat on the ground, but his face was indescribably relaxed and casual. It seemed that he had already expected this scene, and this moment was just quietly waiting.
What Liu Mengchao is waiting for, this may only be known by Liu Mengchao himself.
"yes, we really can't figure it out." Edward didn't deny Liu Mengchao's words, he nodded slowly, and continued, "We just want to know the real answer now, and there are no special requirements for anything else. ”
"No, you should have other requirements, right?"
Although Liu Mengchao was in the dark, his eyes still seemed to be able to see the eyes of the Edward brothers, and he could instantly detect the thoughts of the two brothers through their eyes. Such an ability seems to have become something similar to instinct for Liu Mengchao, but it is still too weird in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Yes......" Edward nodded slowly, his voice softened, "You asked us to help you become a national alchemist, and in exchange, we asked you not to kill Miss Rosa." But now you're killing Rosa directly in front of the two of us...... Miss. So what do you really want, do you no longer need our help to become a national alchemist, or do you ...... You have another purpose for Miss Rosa. ”
Edward spoke quickly, without even much stagnation. His thinking was extremely clear at this moment, as if he was not shocked by Liu Mengchao's actions just now.
"Oh...... This is quite unusual. Liu Mengchao said, his eyes narrowing slightly. I saw him simply lean his head against the stone wall behind him, rubbed his nose and said, "I think if you two brothers saw this scene, they should immediately go to investigate something, right?" ”
"What's the matter!?"
Edward Fei said without the slightest hesitation.
"Is Rosa dead?"
Liu Mengchao said with a smile. After all, the strategy of the Edward brothers just now was to force themselves back from the fake Rosa first, and then use alchemy to trap themselves so that they could save the fake Rosa.
But now...... If I'm not mistaken, that Rosa shouldn't be gone by now. For this matter, Liu Mengchao has 100% confidence.
"Brother! Rosa's body is gone! ”
At this moment, Alphonse's voice suddenly rang out, sounding a little panicked. After all, the person who was supposed to have been lying on the ground without any breath was now missing the body, leaving no trace. No matter how weird such a thing looks, no matter how you think about it, people can't think of a reason.
"What the hell is going on!?"
Edward's voice trembled subconsciously. It was also the first time he had encountered such a thing, so it was inevitable that he would be a little panicked. This is understandable, after all, no one can understand everything, and judging from the age of these two brothers, there is not much to blame.
However, the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth still widened, and his eyes narrowed. His mind was now beginning to rise up like a tidal wave, and all the bits and pieces of thoughts were constantly hovering in Liu Mengchao's mind like puzzles, and then they were cleverly pieced together by Liu Mengchao.
"Edward!? What are you doing!? ”
As soon as a faint thought was formed in Liu Mengchao's mind, Rosa's voice suddenly sounded in the distance. It sounded like a joke after a prank, but it did go off. Liu Mengchao, who was in the dark wall, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and knew that he was going to see the light again in the next moment.
Sure enough, he heard the surprised sound of the two Edward brothers almost swallowing their tongues outside, and the sound of panicked and panicked running.
In the blink of an eye, Edward's hand pressed directly on the wall made of clay, and opened a door in front of Liu Mengchao.
Liu Mengchao raised his hand slightly, blocked the sunlight coming in from the door, and slowly stood up. I saw him dust off the dirt on his body, then raised his feet and walked out.
Liu Mengchao didn't go fast, and even a little slowly. He squinted for a moment in the sunlight, then squinted at Rosa, who was standing in front of him. It seemed that it was just a slight collision of the eyes of the two people, and Rosa's legs immediately softened, and the whole person almost collapsed directly on the ground. But Liu Mengchao didn't think much about it, he just walked straight to the Edward brothers, looked around, and said lazily.
"Interested in talking?" (To be continued......)
