Chapter 73 Children
Talking about hair dyeing to people without hair, talking about honeymoons to people without wives, what Liu Mengchao is doing now is roughly the same, only more serious.
He talked about the problem of children to a couple who could never have another child in this life.
As the wife, Quan was completely speechless now. She just stood up, and a layer of cold air radiated along the woman's body, surrounding her seriously and coldly, making people feel like winter.
It came so suddenly that I was so cold that I couldn't even speak.
But Liu Mengchao didn't seem to be aware of this scene. He just raised his head quietly, his eyes as calm as lake water, rippling calmly under the moonlight, as if he was waiting for the answer from the spring in front of him.
His hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and Quan's eyes were fixed on Liu Mengchao's body, as if he wanted to see through every minute thought in this man's heart. However, although the expression on the wife's face was so painful, as a husband, the man had already
He had already stood up and walked directly towards Liu Mengchao.
A fist as big as a casserole stopped directly in front of Liu Mengchao, as if it would hit Liu Mengchao's face in the next second, knocking the man unconscious. Regarding the dinner that suddenly turned into this situation, the two Edward brothers
Like a chicken hiding in a storm, it was too timid to say a word.
They were shivering, but Nuonuo could not make a sound. It was just because the current situation in front of them was so weird, so weird that it made people tremble subconsciously.
"I can't guarantee success, but I think it's worth giving it a try." Liu Mengchao didn't feel the strangeness of the current situation at all, and he was still talking in the presence of the old god.
"Please leave, you are not welcome here." The husband looked back at his chess pieces and directly rejected Liu Mengchao's words, "We... although we want children, it's too late to say anything now, and please don't
Hurt my wife’s heart again.”
He made it very clear that just to prevent his wife from being hurt again, this man was willing to grit his teeth and refuse any possible situation.
He only loves his wife, that's all, simple and very appropriate.
"Wait a minute...are you talking about the Philosopher's Stone?"
Suddenly, Quan directly interrupted her husband's words. Although she was supposed to be a kind housewife, she had now directly broken the strange silence, "Brother Edward has already told me that the person who is refined into a sage will
Stone must use human life. In other words, although I am willing to sacrifice my life for myself and my child, I absolutely do not want my child to be burdened with the lives of others as soon as he is born. This is my deepest feeling as a mother.
Idea. I refuse.”
reject.
The two words were simple and straightforward. After saying these words, she had already turned around. Although her back was to Liu Mengchao, Liu Mengchao could still know what was in the heart of the former mother in front of him through her trembling shoulders.
Trouble and pain. If we say that all mothers in the world are actually the same, maybe not too many. If you want to say that Quan is a good mother, Liu Mengchao will never have any objections.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao shook his head gently and whispered, "What if I say...there is no need to sacrifice other people's lives?"
Quan turned her head suddenly. At this moment, it seemed that even the lights became brighter. There was actually a look of pleading in her mature eyes, as if a young girl in love was willing to believe the most false thing in the world.
It's like words of love. It's a look of hope and belief from the heart, and it's the most real prayer.
Seeing such eyes, Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded.
"So, God has a perfect path. I think from some aspects... there is still a certain possibility of success. I didn't raise this question casually. Nor did I say no casually.
After thinking about it with my brain, I really think there is a possibility of success in this way."
As he spoke, Liu Mengchao pulled out his chair and sat down quietly. He raised his head, looked directly into the eyes of the couple, and spoke calmly.
"Now, would you two listen to my unrealistic idea?"
No one spoke, and even the cicadas outside the window forgot to chirp. Only the moonlight staggered into the window, filling the quiet restaurant.
"Edward and his two brothers once wanted to become their own mother, but they failed." Looking at the people who were all quiet in front of him, Liu Mengchao finally began to express his thoughts, "In my personal opinion, if we simply learn from the human body,
Analyzing the contained substances, what the Edward brothers did was not wrong."
As Liu Mengchao spoke, he didn't give Brother Edward a chance to interrupt, so he continued speaking alone.
"But what if we think about it from another angle? Edward and I both discovered the making of the Philosopher's Stone. It is a legendary miracle made with human life. But what is the difference between this miracle and ordinary people?
?”
"You mean..."
Edward frowned subconsciously. Although the memory of his mother was a nightmare that he did not want to recall for the rest of his life, it did not hinder the active thinking of this talented alchemist.
He suddenly realized from a certain level the true meaning of Liu Mengchao's words.
"Yes, it's the soul." Liu Mengchao raised a finger and said softly, "Compared with the difference between a person and a material that can make up a person, the most important and conspicuous thing is a person's
Soul? We can refine a human body, but we cannot refine a living person containing a soul. This is the gap. In other words, maybe this soul is the real product that can transcend the so-called alchemical rules.
, there is nothing in the world that can be exchanged with it of equal value.”
Is the soul priceless?
Edward nodded gently. This was the core point of Liu Mengchao's words just now.
"But we have clearly seen it in a book..." Alphonse's voice sounded softly, "A person's blood contains his soul. So when Edward and I became mothers,
, also uses our blood as a carrier..."
"Then exchange the mother's soul?" Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows, "But isn't the result the best proof? This conclusion is wrong. The human soul is nowhere to be found, and we don't know where it came from. In other words
In other words, human souls can only be born, but cannot be exchanged."
"Now that you know this, don't you think you've eaten some of it, Liu Mengchao?" Edward's master Quan seems to have returned to normal now, or he has suppressed his feelings for the child, and just pretends to be calm in discussing with Liu Mengchao.
Alchemical knowledge.
"That's right, that's why I said there's a problem."
Liu Mengchao said, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"In the final analysis, alchemy is an exchange of equal value. Whatever we pay, we get. So if we think about it from another angle, as long as we want to get something, we must pay something." Liu Mengchao turned his head and looked at Edward.
Turning into an arm of steel, he smiled and said, "So for Edward, what if an arm could be re-refined?"
"You mean..."
Now Quan finally understood Liu Mengchao's thinking.
"Yes, looking forward, we are not required to refine our own children. But we can try to refine our own lost organs. I think in comparison, this kind of difficulty should be easier, right? If it is true
It may not be impossible for a child to be able to re-forge his own organs..."
Liu Mengchao said slowly.
"No... things are not that simple." After listening to Liu Mengchao's words, a smile finally appeared on Quan's face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Liu Mengchao, your idea is right. I think Edward and the others are working on this idea now, right? It's not to refine the human body, but just to restore your own body?"
"Hmm... So Al and I have discussed that it doesn't have to be a human body, nor does it have to really rely on the Philosopher's Stone. Both of us believe that there must be other methods besides this.
, can restore your body to its original state!”
Edward said firmly, and Alphonse, who had been quiet on the other side, nodded along with his brother.
"You can, but I am different." Facing her husband's worried eyes, Quan smiled and shook her head professionally, made an expression that reassured her husband, and then continued, "My... first
The child was a miscarriage. After this, the doctor has already judged that I will never have another child in my life. If I still have a child, I will abort it directly like now... So... That's why I wanted to at that time
Made with the help of the human body..."
Quan spoke very slowly and could hear every word clearly, which made him feel even more pitiable and intolerable.
It's just that Liu Mengchao seemed to have already anticipated everything in front of him. He shook his head slowly, but the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Maybe it's because I have lost my memory, so I have some strange and completely unreasonable knowledge in my mind." Liu Mengchao said, narrowing his eyes, "Do you... really know what a child is?"
What is a child?
Isn't this obvious?
Quan turned her head and looked at her husband, and her husband also looked at his wife.
"It sounds a little scary and weird, but please listen to me."
Liu Mengchao said seriously.
