Chapter 71 Funeral and Moving Forward
Liu Mengchao himself never thought that he would return to the Central Committee so soon. This article was originally published by. Only this time, when he arrived at the train station, he saw one less person.
"My friend was killed and then transferred to the central government. What does this mean?"
This is what Liu Mengchao said to Roy Mustang while sitting on the train,
"It means that our every move is under the eyes of the enemy, and..." Roy Mustang frowned, showing a rare killing intent on his face, "Their target is not Lisa Hawke at all.
Ai, all of us have been fooled by them. There is only one real goal..."
"Mars Schultz?"
After listening to Roy Mustang's words, Liu Mengchao shook his head directly.
"Impossible, this will only alert the snake." Liu Mengchao said, his eyes slowly narrowed, as fierce and sharp as a hunter who has discovered his prey, "This matter of Mas Schultz is probably just a matter of
Accident. No...it should be said that before he died, he discovered a secret more important than the Philosopher's Stone."
"A secret greater than the Philosopher's Stone?"
Roy Mustang held his head with one hand and stared at Liu Mengchao closely, wanting to know any clues. After all, his brain was no longer able to operate freely now, and all he thought about were his friends.
Death, and...
More knowledge about the refining of the human body.
"That's right... that should be it." Liu Mengchao looked at Roy Mustang and nodded gently, with a sad look on his face, "If a group of us knew about the Philosopher's Stone,
If the secret is going to be silenced, it is absolutely impossible for me to stand in front of you now. In other words... the secret mastered by Maschutz is far greater than the Philosopher's Stone."
"Bigger than the Philosopher's Stone? What could that be? Could it mean that the entire country is destroyed?"
Roy Mustang almost hummed from his own nose. However, Lisa Hawkeye, who was sitting opposite him, did not answer. She just looked at her commander tenderly, letting a trace of worry escape from her.
flowed through my heart.
After all, death is something that can never be reversed for ordinary people.
In the blink of an eye, when Liu Mengchao came to his senses again, he could already see the appearance of the grave. This was not his own grave, but that of Lieutenant Colonel Mas Schulz... Now he was exempted from the rule because he died in the line of duty.
Promoted to Brigadier's grave.
The military police in dark blue military uniforms carried the four corners of the coffin, and with the accompaniment of bugles, they buried their leader into the clean land with neat steps. Everything seemed to have lost its color at this time,
Liu Mengchao could only see Mas Shouz's daughter. The little girl who should still be at an age where she didn't understand anything was holding her mother's clothes and crying loudly.
"Why do you have to bury dad so that he can't work?"
Children's words can often sting people's hearts even more. At this moment, Maschutz's wife had already burst into tears and could only cover her mouth to prevent her screams from coming out from the corners of her mouth.
The crowd dispersed at some point, leaving only Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Lisa Hawkeye in front of the tombstone. Roy Mustang looked at the words of Brigadier General Schultz on the tombstone and felt that it was extremely realistic.
Irony. The two of them were friends who had known each other since they were in military school. Although they were still young, they had already agreed that one day they would work together to change this country that was completely controlled by the military.
But the reality... is really ironic!
Thinking of this, Roy Mustang seemed to be able to see Mas Shouz's face full of happiness again. He couldn't help but raise his head.
Only a soft snapping sound was heard, dripping on the tombstone.
"It's raining, Lieutenant."
Roy Mustang said coldly.
"rain?"
Lisa Hawkeye raised her head and glanced at the sun in the sky. She couldn't help but fell silent. She did not correct her commander's words, but lowered her head again and spoke softly.
"Yes. It's raining. It's raining so hard."
Lisa Hawkeye's voice fell, and Colonel Roy Mustang burst into tears.
———————————————————————————————————
It has been two weeks since the death of Maschutz. In some ways, the death of any one person cannot change the world much.
Liu Mengchao looked at the train station platform that appeared in front of him again, feeling that reality was full of cold irony.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
This time, the person who saw off Liu Mengchao was no longer Lieutenant Colonel Maschutz. It was his good friend, Colonel Roy Mustang, who could be said to be the best friend in the world. I only saw the face of this colonel.
The sky seemed to be covered with shadows all the time, and no smile appeared on the colonel's face.
"We have to speed up because we don't know what will happen to us next."
Liu Mengchao carried his luggage and looked coldly at the approaching train, with a mocking look on his lips.
"I don't worry about making you laugh when I say it, Liu Mengchao..." Roy Mustang said slowly, "Now I can finally understand why Brother Edward wanted to resurrect his mother. When I saw the tombstone... my
All the information in my mind is about the refining of the human body."
"Yeah?"
Liu Mengchao raised his head and glanced at Colonel Roy Mustang's face. The look on that face was so determined, as if it was really made of stone.
"So, next time I see you, your body will be as mutilated as ours?"
Liu Mengchao asked slowly.
Roy Mustang didn't answer. He didn't even know how to answer. He just shook his head again and again, and then paused.
"I don't know... maybe not... If the enemy wants us to do something, we might just go in the opposite direction. I think we will meet them in the end." Roy Mustang
He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Compared to unrealistic resurrection... I am more willing to take revenge!"
revenge!?
After listening to Roy Mustang's words, Liu Mengchao curled up his lips and walked towards the stopped train. Liu Mengchao waved behind him and disappeared from Roy Mustang's sight. (To be continued.
