Military vehicles drove out from the Dongcheng headquarters one after another. Roy Mustang sat at the front, followed by a long line of soldiers with guns and live ammunition.

"Has it been resolved?"

As soon as he got off the car, Roy Mustang asked impatiently. His eyes looked directly at Liu Mengchao, waiting for this man who seemed to be able to create miracles.

"almost."

Liu Mengchao nodded slowly and pointed at the cell behind him that seemed to be made of stone on all sides.

"We asked Brother Edward to lure out the scarred man, and then along the way, we created this cell that can directly imprison him."

"Such alchemy... I haven't seen it for a long time." Lieutenant Colonel Maschutz followed Roy Mustang and walked up to Liu Mengchao. There was a vague look of melancholy on his face.

Emotions, it seems that everything in front of him is far away from him, so far away that he even needs to frown to remember.

"Yes... Ishval Annihilation War."

As a good friend of Mas Schulze, Roy Mustang certainly knew what his friend was thinking about. He nodded slowly, with a solemn look on his face.

The national alchemist stained with blood?

Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the strange expressions on the faces of the two men, and couldn't help but think that based on his psychological profile of the scarred man, Liu Mengchao probably knew the general truth of the Ishval Annihilation War. This can be said

It can be regarded as a genocide in this world. Thinking about it makes people feel a little depressed.

"A lot of people must have died at that time, right?"

Liu Mengchao followed Colonel Roy Mustang to the door of Edward Liancheng and said softly.

Roy Mustang did not answer, but nodded solemnly.

"A lot, it can almost be said that there is blood flowing everywhere." Masiu Zi's voice rang in Liu Mengchao's ears, "Until now, I still wonder how I escaped from such a hell.

The one who came alive."

Come to life?

"Yes. Come to life as a human being, not as a beast completely immersed in killing."

Roy Mustang said coldly, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone door. He slowly exerted force, and the door was gently pushed open.

Light roared in from this gap instantly, like a tide, filling the entire space in an instant.

"The scarred man must have fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss, right?"

Before he entered the cage created by the Edward brothers, Roy Mustang's voice had already sounded. He lowered his head, glanced at the blood that seemed to have soaked his ankle, and said in a deep voice.

"We are planning to bring the scarred man back to the Central Committee, but we do not want to bring the scarred man's body back to the Central Committee." Maschutz said a cold joke, "I think this situation is the worst.

It’s a good situation.”

Although he said this, when Colonel Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Colonel Maschutz walked in, they still felt a strange scene.

Blood was everywhere, but no matter which direction you looked, you couldn't find a single person in this cell, the scarred man who had killed at least fifteen national alchemists.

There were no dead bodies that were no longer breathing, and there were no sudden attacks. The entire space was as quiet and silent as a tomb. There was even a trace of disgusting odor.

"This is……"

Roy Mustang squatted down directly, and the blood stained the corners of his clothes mercilessly, making him frown unconsciously.

"Escaped."

Liu Mengchao looked at the scene in front of him and said subconsciously. He also frowned. To be honest, Liu Mengchao really didn't expect that after suffering such an attack from him, the scarred man could actually escape from this completely enclosed space.

Escape.

This sounds a little too incredible, right?

"It's a hole. He made a hole in the ground."

Maschutz's sense of smell seemed to be sharper than that of Colonel Roy Mustang, and he strode directly to the center of the closed stone room.

"It's alchemy."

Roy Mustang walked over and looked over. He saw bloodstains all around the hole. It looked as if someone had just washed it with blood.

"He ran away so fast, he even deceived Liu Mengchao's eyes. I have to say, this man's vitality is really tenacious." Roy Mustang sighed, winked at Liu Mengchao, and pointed in front of him.

of cave.

"This is directly connected to the sewer pipe. He should have escaped directly with the help of the sewer pipe." Roy Mustang silently assessed what had just happened, his tone was cold and emotionless, "This is probably the first time he has encountered such a thing.

I arrived, so I was a little panicked during the escape."

"But we should stop the bleeding first, otherwise we will find his body directly along the sewer pipe." Mas Schulz stood next to Roy Mustang and said softly, "Look,

There were scraps of clothing in the blood, which should have fallen when he was wrapping the wound."

"really."

Roy Mustang nodded, gently pinched the fallen strand of clothing with his hands, and then picked it up.

"It seems that time was very tight, otherwise he wouldn't have torn the clothes like this directly. The edges were not smooth at all, and his hands must have been shaking badly at that time."

Colonel Roy Mustang speculated bit by bit on what might have happened at that time, and turned to Liu Mengchao and said, "It seems that because of this incident, it is impossible to directly promote Liu Mengchao to become a national alchemist.

"

Liu Mengchao did not speak, but nodded silently. In fact, Liu Mengchao had already anticipated this when he entered the closed stone room. After all, Liu Mengchao's Assassin's Creed enhancements allowed him to use vision directly instead of using vision.

Use your sixth sense to observe the world in front of you.

For example, when Liu Mengchao entered this closed stone room, he did not see any red light spots representing hostility. Similarly, the yellow light spots representing tasks did not appear in Liu Mengchao's perspective.

"The nimble mouse escaped the nose of the military dog."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lieutenant Colonel Maschutz touched his nose and laughed directly.

"The trip was in vain, but I think she was so seriously injured that she probably won't commit crimes in the near future. In any case, we can all feel at ease for a long time. Am I right, National Alchemist?

Mr. Roy Mustang."

The two of them have become too familiar, so teasing each other seems to have become commonplace. But for Liu Mengchao, there are really some nostalgic scenes. He has not seen such a friend for a long time.

Already.

"That's right! When I get out, I'll show you my daughter's photo! She's so cute!"

Maschutz said with excitement.

Liu Mengchao and Colonel Roy Mustang glanced at each other at the same time, and both found a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.

In some respects, Liu Mengchao and Colonel Roy Mustang had exactly the same views on Lieutenant Colonel Maschutz.

A reliable...a good family man who loves his daughter and wife very much.

"You are really not suitable to be a soldier." Liu Mengchao turned around and walked out of the dark stone room. Roy Mustang followed closely behind Liu Mengchao and walked out. There was a smile on his face.

With an indescribable wry smile.

"The news that we originally wanted to arrest you, Liu Mengchao, was just a smoke bomb we released." As soon as it came out, Roy Mustang's voice rang in Liu Mengchao's ears, "At that time, Mas and I.

Xiuzi felt that it was possible that the scarred man had accomplices in the military department, but now it seems that we were overly concerned at the time."

"Hey, hey, hey! Do you really don't want to see my daughter's photos?"

Before Liu Mengchao could answer, Maschutz took out a photo of his daughter from his arms and pointed it in front of Liu Mengchao and Roy Mustang.

"I will return to the Central Committee soon, and the national alchemist examination will begin soon. By the way, Liu Mengchao, I have already reported your name."

So fast?

Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little surprised, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Don't thank me." Mas Shouzi shook his hand at Liu Mengchao, pointed at Roy Mustang and said, "All of this was reported in the name of Dongcheng Command. You must know that Roy Mastan

Colonel Stan discovered the powerful role of Brother Edward, the youngest national alchemist in history!"

As Maschutz's voice gradually floated in the air, his people also gradually disappeared further and further away. By the time Liu Mengchao and Roy Mustang came back to their senses, they were already in front of them.

There is no trace of this love-loving colonel anymore.

"It may be a bit reluctant to say it, but I dare to bet you that when you get to the center, Mas Shouz will definitely drag you to his home to see his daughter."

Roy Mustang said to Liu Mengchao with a confident look on his face.

Liu Mengchao didn't say anything, just frowned, thinking about what might happen next.

Central, State Alchemist.

How long will I continue to be in this world?

This also seems to be an unsolvable problem.
