Liu Mengchao and Masius looked at each other and laughed together. Although there was a slight age gap between the two, they both realized that the girl with delicate appearance must be the one Edward liked.

"She grew up with me, her name is Yun Ni." Edward looked at Yun Ni, then turned to introduce Liu Mengchao and Mas Xiuzi, "Because she is very good at mechanical armor, so..."

"So he's your mechanic, right?" Liu Mengchao said jokingly, with a smile in his eyes.

"That's it." Edward nodded and said without hesitation. On the other hand, Yunni also raised her head subconsciously, pretending not to hear what Edward said clearly, and leaned down to check the man who had already been spoken to by Edward.

A completely damaged robotic arm.

"It's nothing serious, right?" Liu Mengchao glanced at her and said with a smile.

"It's nothing." Yun Ni nodded lightly, but a look of embarrassment flashed across her face. Although Edward and others did not know the reason why the mechanical arm was damaged, Yun Ni herself did remember it clearly.

.It turned out that when she was installing the arm, she forgot to install a screw, which caused the fixation to be unstable, and this happened.

Yun Ni threw the toolbox in her hand towards Edward and opened it with a snap. Small and large screwdrivers, as well as many tools that Liu Mengchao couldn't even name, instantly appeared in the small ward.

among.

"The movements are really skillful. I really can't believe that such a young girl can be such an outstanding mechanical armor technician." Seeing Yun Ni neatly helping Edward repair the mechanical armor, Mas Xiuzi, who was standing next to Liu Mengchao, also sighed with emotion.

Got up.

Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, narrowed his eyes, sat on Edward's bedside and asked with a smile, "After the arm is repaired, what are you going to do? I feel like the thread has been completely broken now, and it is not easy to reconnect it."

thing."

"That's right..."

Edward slapped his forehead with his intact left hand, and a sad look appeared on his face.

"I originally thought that I would be able to find all the secrets in the fifth research room. But I didn't expect that the final result would be so disappointing. By the way, Liu Mengchao, um... how did you escape later?"

"I?"

Liu Mengchao was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.

"I didn't escape. It's just that after they saw you were injured, they let you go."

"Let me go?" Edward frowned. Logically speaking, if he really discovered the secret of that group of people, there was no reason to let him go. According to their words, killing would make it permanent.

It's the consequences.

"Wait a minute..."

At this moment, Mas Shouz's voice directly intervened.

"Liu Mengchao once said that you also fought against those group of artificial humans when you were in the Lei Te Cult?"

"I am the only one who has fought against them, but..." Liu Mengchao rolled his eyes slightly, recalling the scene in his mind, and realized something was wrong.

First of all, if the goal of their group was really to let Edward die, then it was actually the best time to do it. But they did not do so, and then when they arrived at the fifth research room, if they remembered correctly, Edward

The battle was actually already defeated at that time. If the armored man had killed Edward directly, it would have been even easier.

"If the guy named Envi didn't want to attack me at that time, but directly attacked Edward, he should be a dead man by now, right?"

Liu Mengchao glanced at Edward, who was gritting his teeth and attaching the mechanical armor, frowned slightly, turned to Maschutz and asked, "Have you guessed this too?"

"Well... Liu Mengchao, you also told me about the situation at that time. Don't look at me like this, but I have also participated in the battle. The situation at that time. If you really want to keep you, the best way is to first

Kill Edward, and then attack you, Liu Mengchao. But they didn't do that. Instead, they just let you go. In other words..."

"They don't want me and Edward to die." Liu Mengchao raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and began to think: The androids and the gang don't want me and Edward to die. There must be a reason for this, right? It's definitely not just because of myself and Edward.

The reason why he looks good must be because he and Edward have something in common?

Yes! It should be the same thing.

Liu Mengchao nodded imperceptibly, comparing the characteristics of himself and Edward again in his mind.

Since both he and Edward are men, this obviously doesn't make sense. However, he and Edward are both state alchemists. Is it because of this that the artificial man will not kill Edward?

Obviously impossible.

Liu Mengchao himself first rejected this answer. Although the number of national alchemists is rare, for people of a certain status, they are just useful tools, so how can they be of such great value.

If there is anything special about Edward, is it because he has completed the human body refining and seen the Door of Truth?

Wait a minute!

Liu Mengchao's eyes lit up and he suddenly looked at the confused Edward.

"Edward... I think I have roughly figured out why they are unwilling to kill you."

"real?"

This time, even Mas Schulze was surprised. Although he had been a spy before and was extremely good at this kind of secret planning, and because of his delicate mind, he was the best at peeling off the cocoon. But he is still a fool until now.

Wu Shui, what is the origin of Liu Mengchao? In just a short time, he has found out the reason?

"Edward has conducted human body refining, although he has kept this a secret. But as Roy Mustang's close friend, Mr. Mars Schutz, I think you should already know it, right?"

"I see!"

As expected of Mas Schultz, Liu Mengchao's words just popped up in one head, and he was already thinking along that line. Liu Mengchao's origins were unknown, even though he and Roy Mustang were secretly investigating this man's origins.

Nothing was found about his identity. Originally, he and Roy Mustang wanted to use the state machinery to investigate Liu Mengchao's identity and find out his secrets by letting Liu Mengchao pass the national alchemist exam.

However, the final result was still a bit surprising. He seemed to be the guy who jumped out of the stone. Even the spies lurking abroad did not send back any information about Liu Mengchao.

Logically speaking, if the androids did not kill Liu Mengchao, it would not be because Liu Mengchao had a special identity. After all, if Liu Mengchao had a special identity, how could they explain the fact that they did not kill Edward? This does not make sense at all.

.

But if you look at it from another angle, purely from the perspective of alchemy, everything can be explained clearly.

Although Liu Mengchao's origin is unknown, he is indeed an extremely outstanding alchemist. He can make alchemy directly without relying on the alchemy formation. This ability has only been seen in Edward.

According to Roy Mustang's guess, the reason why it was able to reach this level was because Edward had seen the Door of Truth.

Maschutz quietly approached Liu Mengchao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Liu Mengchao... have you also seen the Door of Truth?"

Liu Mengchao didn't speak, he just raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and nodded.

Yes, that’s right!

Looking at Liu Mengchao's actions, Maschutz immediately understood. If Liu Mengchao and Edward were both alchemists who had seen the Gate of Truth, it would make perfect sense for the artificial talents not to kill them. After all, alchemy

The number of magicians is extremely rare, let alone outstanding alchemists.

Even among outstanding alchemists, few want to touch the human body to refine this taboo.

"It turns out that you two are a rare species." Maschutz stared at Liu Mengchao and Edward and said with a smile.

Rare species?

Listening to Mas Shouz's words, Edward was a little confused. He subconsciously looked at Liu Mengchao, closed his eyes again and thought about himself, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is it because of this!?"

Edward pointed at himself and then at his brother Alphonse.

"Brother? What's wrong?"

Alphonse, who had been standing next to Yunni and looking at his brother, also became confused.

"Because of what Al and I have in common?"

"What they have in common?" Alphonse fell silent for a moment after hearing his brother's words. He is not stupid, and is even more careful than his brother in some details.

What they have in common is definitely not the same surname as their brother, nor is it their attainments in alchemy...my brother is a little better than me in this aspect.

So……

"Is it made from human body?!"

As soon as Alphonse thought of this, he blurted it out subconsciously.

"It's made from the human body." Liu Mengchao raised his feet, his toes raised up and down, and his expression looked very comfortable, "If they are unwilling to kill any one of the three of us, I think there is only one reason.

.After all, first of all, there are very few alchemists in this country."

"There are surprisingly few alchemists with superb skills who can use the human body to make alchemists." Edward continued what Liu Mengchao said.

"But even with such superb alchemy, there are even fewer people who are willing to violate taboos." Alphonse nodded and said in agreement.

"And you have forgotten one thing." Liu Mengchao took out the silver pocket watch he just got from his pocket, weighed it up and down in his palms, and said with a smile, "The three of us are still the national alchemists.
