Chapter 45: Looking Through the Looking Glass
Using fog to refract light and thereby distort a person's vision is Liu Mengchao's alchemical mirage. He walked peacefully in the fog all over the sky, and rain fell from the sky from time to time, dripping on the ground.
.
"You can't escape anymore."
Liu Mengchao said slowly, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if the ice had not melted for many years. Everything was so cold, making people feel a deep despair when they exhaled.
"That's right, I have no way out now." The scarred man responded coldly. "You have been preparing to let me die here, right?"
Liu Mengchao didn't answer. This was a strategy they had prepared long ago. They used the Edward brothers as bait, and then used their own alchemy to instantly confuse the scarred man's sight and trap him here.
"You can't know where the front is, and you can't know where the way back is. It's like a beast trapped in a steel cage. The only thing waiting for you is death."
Liu Mengchao said with a smile, but his people had already appeared in front of the two Edward brothers.
"Should that be enough time?"
The corner of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled up and he laughed out loud. Everything they were doing now was so logical. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be catching a turtle in a jar, right?
"Alphonse!"
When Edward heard Liu Mengchao's words, he looked directly at his younger brother. The two brothers looked at each other and put down their hands in unison.
"Now!"
Edward pressed his hand violently on the ground. In just a blink of an eye, Liu Mengchao could see the ground suddenly rising in all directions. In just a blink of an eye, the hard walls had descended on the square where Liu Mengchao was.
"Should we even seal the top?"
Liu Mengchao looked at the high walls around him, smiled and said to Brother Edward.
"No problem."
Edward nodded directly and saw that he placed one hand directly on the wall. The wall, which was originally like a large open box, was directly sealed. In the blink of an eye, the daylight had disappeared where Liu Mengchao was.
place.
"What are you doing?"
The scarred man suddenly sneered. He had been troubled by the alchemy called mirage that the man had used. This alchemy that filled the place with mist directly destroyed his vision, making him completely unable to observe the other side.
The enemy's situation.
But now...
"What's going on?"
The scarred man said coldly. Obviously the sun is the most advantageous weapon for the man opposite. With the help of the refraction between the sun and the fog, he can't find the enemy at all. But now the surroundings and the top are completely sealed off, little by little.
No light can be seen.
"Are you worried about me running away?"
The scarred man was not too stupid. He just frowned slightly and immediately figured out the reason. Although the sky was full of fog, which distorted his sight and prevented him from successfully killing the Fullmetal Alchemist brothers.
But if he wanted to escape, he could still do it easily.
But now, a prison made of rocks fell directly next to him, and even went one step further, completely blocking the sunlight, making it impossible for him to discern the direction.
"You want to capture me alive now?"
The scarred man said with a sneer, reaching forward with both hands. At the same time, his eyes hidden behind the sunglasses also closed directly. His breathing gradually disappeared to the point of being inaudible, as if his whole person became
Become ethereal.
"Since you can find me, you should know my origin. I am a survivor of the Ishvar annihilation war! A monk of Ishvar!"
Warrior monk?
Liu Mengchao, who was in the darkness, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. He had never heard of this profession. After all, he had only read a little bit of the story of Fullmetal Alchemist. For Liu Mengchao, he
No one would have imagined that in this world full of alchemy, there would be a profession like a warrior monk.
This is interesting.
Liu Mengchao raised the corner of his mouth and walked forward. The Edward brothers were now on the outside of the prison made of rocks. According to the strategy they had discussed before, Liu Mengchao, who was more suitable for fighting, directly dragged the scarred man. The Edward brothers used their high-speed
The alchemy technique creates a cage that can directly block Scar Man's movements. The next thing will be even simpler. At that time, only Roy Mustang and Mas Schutz will arrive with reinforcements from the military department.
Once you arrive, you can directly catch the person with the scar.
But now, everything is progressing exactly as Liu Mengchao expected.
The scarred man has been completely blocked by the stone wall made by Brother Edward, and he has completely blocked the light, so that the scarred man in this cage can also feel a trace of nervous anxiety.
"Now neither of us can see it. It should be a fair competition, right?"
The scarred man said with a sneer, and he immediately closed his eyes, raised his ears, and listened vigilantly to every possible movement in this closed space.
Liu Mengchao did not move. He just stood there quietly, as if nothing had happened. However, such a dark environment was perfect for Liu Mengchao. After all, for an assassin, darkness is the most important thing.
Good company.
So Liu Mengchao gently raised his left wrist, and a very slight sound sounded in the confined space.
"You can't escape from here now. Even if you know alchemy, I don't think you can use it at this time."
Liu Mengchao walked forward slowly while talking. In the completely silent space, Liu Mengchao's footsteps suddenly sounded.
"I can hear your footsteps." The scarred man said coldly, "As long as I hear your footsteps, I can find your location. This is my advantage."
"oh?"
Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"You can give it a try."
"Wait a minute." The scarred man suddenly paused and said in a deep voice, "Among the national alchemists I know, there is no one who can use alchemy to directly change the environment. In other words... you have not participated.
The battle of annihilation of Ishval is also..."
"He's not a national alchemist either." Liu Mengchao finished what he hadn't finished, "So you think the two of us have something in common and can communicate?"
Liu Mengchao said slowly, but his tone was already full of sarcasm. Anyone could hear it, let alone the scarred man who was almost perverted because of revenge.
"That's right! There is no need for you to die here!"
"It's not up to you."
As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, he paused at his feet. He just turned around and approached the scarred man.
"I have a reason why I have to do this."
Liu Mengchao said coldly, and the hidden sword under his wrist made a clear sound in the darkness, directly stabbing the scarred man's throat. For Liu Mengchao, darkness cannot be an obstacle to Liu Mengchao's progress, it can even become a barrier to Liu Mengchao's progress.
His helper. His eagle eye allows Liu Mengchao to directly mark the location of the enemy in the dark.
So in other words, this completely dark environment does not exist at all for Liu Mengchao.
Liu Mengchao's attack came very quickly. It was much beyond the scarred man's imagination. He even had a look of surprise on his face. After all, this man's attack came so fast, as if he could directly find his location in the darkness.
The orientation is the same.
Behind! One step!
The scarred man listened to the sound of wind coming from behind his head, and in a blink of an eye, he had noticed the direction of Liu Mengchao. His right hand suddenly moved downwards, and a silent electric current rippled from his palm.
Rise violently.
He was originally Ishval's monk and participated in Ishval's annihilation battle, or for her, Ishval's defense battle. But in that battle, he lost his right hand. And now,
His right hand was transplanted to him directly from his brother after the war. The right hand can use alchemy.
Alchemy has three huge links, which no alchemist can avoid, as if they are the truth in the world. These three links are the rules for understanding the inner movement of objects before the release of alchemy. Then
Decompose the items to be refined, and finally reconstruct the items that have been decomposed.
Scar Man, on the other hand, can disintegrate directly with the right arm given by his brother without using the formation formation. Whether it is a person or an object, as long as it is caught by his right hand, it will be decomposed in an instant.
If a person is decomposed, the internal organs will explode in an instant and turn into a puddle of mud.
"Go to hell!"
The scarred man roared loudly, flipped his right hand and grabbed it in the direction of Liu Mengchao. His speed was so fast that he hardly gave anyone any reaction time. Thanks to the training he received when he was a monk,
Let this attack come as fast as a cheetah.
"Caught!"
The scarred man felt the touch from his right hand, and a sneer emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"Die!"
Come on!
The rushing electric time exploded in this completely dark environment, illuminating the figure in front of the scarred man. It was the man who trapped him!
Countless electric currents hit Liu Mengchao's body in just the blink of an eye. It seemed that in the next second, Liu Mengchao's whole body would turn into a puddle of mud and collapse like the national alchemist who was killed by spicy crabs.
on the ground.
But Scar Man is doomed to be disappointed.
Liu Mengchao did arrive, and the body seemed to hit the ground with a dull sound. But at the same time, the scarred man noticed a shadow in front of him.
That is the shadow of a person.
"This is the second advancement of my alchemy, I call it the Mirror Flower, the Water Moon."
Liu Mengchao's mocking laughter sounded behind the scarred man.
The next second, the cold hidden sword hit the scarred man's chest from behind, and stabbed in with a pop.
