Opening the door, starlight shone in following Liu Mengchao's steps, paving the road in front of him. The room suddenly turned from darkness to infinite light.
"who is it!?"
Even in his sleep, Edward still maintained a high level of vigilance. He suddenly got up from the bed, half-crouched, watching the person coming at the door with extreme vigilance.
"Liu Mengchao."
Liu Mengchao announced his name, turned his head and glanced at the armor standing not far from him. That was Edward's brother Alphonse. It seems that Alphonse is no different now. He still has his soul attached to a pair of armor, but Liu Mengchao can still feel that this man is now very different.
I can¡¯t explain why, but Liu Mengchao¡¯s eyes became interesting.
"Liu Mengchao, why did you come back?" Edward's voice couldn't help but calm down. He gave Alphonse a gentle wink, then turned his gaze directly to Liu Mengchao, waiting for his answer. You know, not everyone can understand what Liu Mengchao did.
No matter who is involved in cooperating with artificial humans to attack the president, no one can believe it at all, let alone a person with unknown origins like Liu Mengchao. Not directly treating Liu Mengchao as a traitor and shouting at him to have all the troops come to capture Liu Mengchao can be regarded as a very loyal act of Edward.
For such a loyal Edward, Liu Mengchao had a calm smile on his face. He seemed to have already thought that Edward would say such things, and had already thought of his current identity.
Although not a traitor, a murderer who conspired to kill the president is extremely appropriate. Liu Mengchao did not want to deny his identity.
Compared with before entering this world, Liu Mengchao now looks like a person with clear goals and a mature plan for everything.
Therefore, the smile on Liu Mengchao's face became stronger and stronger. He smiled and nodded. He slowly walked up to Edward and said slowly.
"First of all, I did attack the president. You heard this right, and I was not threatened by anyone." Liu Mengchao said while looking at Alphonse who was still guarding the door. , smiled slightly and said, "But I think if you were in my position, you might do the same."
"can you?"
Edward narrowed his eyes. He stared at Liu Mengchao without saying a word. He was not sure whether he would do such a thing, after all, this matter was too sensational.
"I'm not sure, but there are some things I think you would have made such a decision if you knew about them." Liu Mengchao said slowly. Although he didn't know the ending of the story in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, he still had a deep understanding of the story. This story has a similar understanding.
Any story should almost pursue a mission to defeat the final boss, right? And obviously, the last boss seems to be the so-called father. How can a person who uses the whole country as a material for refinement not be an evil person?
Thinking of this. The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled up slightly and he laughed directly.
"Edward, do you know the shape of our country?"
Liu Mengchao walked out of the room slowly, and Edward followed behind him. Starlight filled the direction where the two men were heading. It also illuminated the half-smiling expression on Liu Mengchao's face.
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 recover his health. They already have a great understanding of the shape of the country. At least he won't be like Liu Mengchao, who has to think for a long time before he can figure it out. So Liu Mengchao just mentioned it casually, and Edward squatted down directly. I drew it on the land with my hands.
That is a circle. For alchemists like Edward who have seen the Gate of Truth, they no longer need to draw the alchemy formation to perform the alchemist. Just clasping your hands together is enough to create a circular pattern and use alchemy directly.
But now Edward stared at the circle he drew on the ground and frowned slightly. For a moment, he was a little unclear as to why Liu Mengchao wanted to draw the outline of the country by himself.
"Don't you think it looks familiar?"
? ?Mengchao's voice rang in Edward's ears, and he frowned slightly, thinking carefully, and then his eyes widened involuntarily.
"Does it look like an alchemical circle?"
Liu Mengchao's smiling voice rang in Edward's ears, as if everything just happened was as clear and simple as Liu Mengchao had expected.
"There is nothing wrong with being a circle. It is not unreasonable to say that the appearance of a country is similar to that of alchemy. Isn't this kind of coincidence just for this situation?" Edward raised his head and asked Liu Mengchao .
¡°What if I say no?¡±
Liu Mengchao responded quietly, the expression on his face remained as calm as before. He already knew enough about this matter. In other words, for Liu Mengchao, this matter is extremely clear.
"I don't believe it. If you want something not to be a coincidence, you need more evidence." Edward said slowly, and the look on his face became more fierce. He seemed to have expected such a situation, and even It¡¯s even more detailed than what Liu Mengchao thought.
"Alphonse fell into a coma during that battle." Edward looked at Liu Mengchao's expression and said softly, "So I also suspect that there are some things that were submerged in that battle."
"That's right!" After hearing Edward's words, Liu Mengchao snapped his fingers and raised the corners of his mouth, "Maybe it's not a good thing to say, but I think it's still a very simple matter."
"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 say that this country has had its own mission since its birth?"
President? alchemy? mission?
Edward lowered his head and pondered. Every word of Liu Mengchao seemed to have a profound meaning, which made him want to think carefully, but the details made him want to think about it in more detail.
"We all know that there are artificial humans in this country. We all know that if you want to create artificial humans, you must have the Philosopher's Stone. And the so-called Philosopher's Stone is the best and most useful The material is the so-called human being."
As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, his fingers were already on the ground in front of Edward.
"What is the most important thing about a country?"
"people!"
Edward said in a deep voice.
"It's people. What can people create?"
"The Philosopher's Stone!"
Edward almost gasped as he answered Liu Mengchao's question. Now he only felt that cold sweat began to break out on his back, making him shiver involuntarily. Edward is different from Liu Mengchao. He can even be said to be the most talented national alchemist in history. Although due to his age, he is not as good as those national alchemists who have experienced war in some aspects, but for Edward Well, one thing is certain.
His perception of alchemy is definitely one of the best in this country. So Edward didn't even hesitate much and started thinking directly according to Liu Mengchao's ideas.
It is not impossible to treat the entire country as raw materials for alchemy and use it to refine the Philosopher's Stone. On the contrary, even if it is such a whimsical thing, if there is really a formation, it is definitely possible to succeed. Because for alchemy, there is only one principle.
Equivalent exchange!
As long as this principle is followed, anything can happen.
"First is the east!"
Edward quickly circled several locations on the right side of the map. There is nothing particularly peculiar about these places. They look like things drawn by others at random.
But for Edward, these few points are enough. He once saw the formation formation of the Philosopher's Stone in the Fifth Research Room of the Central Government. He knew that there were exactly these locations on the right side of the refining formation.
"If you map the riots that have occurred in the country over the years into a formation, you will find that the positions of these locations are very coincidental, as if someone had drawn them from the sky." Liu Mengchao's voice sounded. Edward's ears rang softly, "I don't think any coincidence is enough to explain these things, right? What's more"
"What's more?"
Edward fierce? Turned his head, looked at Liu Mengchao and asked. He was now almost able to bear the heart-wrenching news.
"What's more, Edward, you have to know that when Mr. President was fighting with Mr. Grid, he accidentally revealed some little secrets."
A little secret?
No, no, no This is unlikely, right?
Although Edward has deduced the truth about this country with the help of Liu Mengchao, the truth behind this truth still makes Edward unable to believe it.
"An artificial mancan actually be the president!" (To be continued)
