Opening the door, starlight shone in following Liu Mengchao's steps, covering the road in front of him. The room suddenly changed from darkness to infinite light.

"Who!?"

Even in his sleep, Edward still maintained a high level of vigilance. He suddenly got up from the bed, half-crouched, and watched the person coming at the door with extreme vigilance.

"Liu Mengchao."

Liu Mengchao said his name, turned his head and glanced at the armor standing not far from him. That was Edward's younger brother Alphonse. It seemed that Alphonse was no different now, he was still the general.

His soul was attached to a pair of armor, but Liu Mengchao could still feel that this man was now very different.

He couldn't explain why, but Liu Mengchao's eyes became interesting.

"Liu Mengchao, why did you come back?" Edward's voice couldn't help but calm down. He gave Alphonse a gentle wink, then turned his gaze directly to Liu Mengchao, waiting for his answer.

You know, not everyone can understand what Liu Mengchao did.

Working with artificial humans to attack the President, no matter who it is, no one can believe it at all, let alone a person of unknown origin like Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao is not directly regarded as a traitor.

Shouting and asking all the troops to come and capture Liu Mengchao can be regarded as a very loyal act of Edward.

For such a loyal Edward, Liu Mengchao had a calm smile on his face. He seemed to have already thought that Edward would say such things, and had already thought of his current identity.

Although he is not a traitor, a murderer who conspired to kill the president is extremely appropriate. Liu Mengchao did not want to deny his identity.

Compared with before he entered this world, Liu Mengchao now looks like a person with clear goals and a mature plan for everything.

Therefore, the smile on Liu Mengchao's face became more and more intense. He smiled and nodded. He walked slowly to Edward and said slowly.

"First of all, I did attack the president. You heard this right, and I was not threatened by anyone." Liu Mengchao said while looking at Alphonse who was still guarding the door.

, smiled slightly and said, "But I think if you were in my position, you might do the same."

"Will it?"

Edward narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Mengchao without saying a word. He was not sure whether he would do such a thing, after all, this matter was too sensational.

"I'm not sure, but there are some things I think you would have made such a decision if you knew about them." Liu Mengchao said slowly. Although he didn't know the ending of the story in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, he still had a deep understanding of the story.

This story has a similar understanding.

Any story should almost follow a mission to defeat the last boss, right? And obviously, the last boss seems to be the so-called father. How can a man who uses the whole country as a material for making things not be a

What about evil people?

Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao's lips curled up slightly and he laughed.

"Edward, do you know the shape of our country?"

Liu Mengchao walked out of the room slowly, and Edward walked out behind him. The starlight filled the direction of the two people's progress. It also illuminated the half-smiling expression on Liu Mengchao's face.

The shape of the country?

For Edward, he and Liu Mengchao are completely different people. Although he grew up in a small village, he and Alphonse started traveling around the country in order to recover their health.

They already had a great understanding of the shape of this country. At least they would not be like Liu Mengchao, who had to think for a long time to figure it out. So Liu Mengchao just mentioned it casually, and Edward squatted down directly.

The hand drew it on the land.

That is a circle. For alchemists like Edward who have already seen the Gate of Truth, they no longer need to draw the formation to perform the alchemist. They only need to use their hands

Putting hands together is enough to create a cyclic pattern and directly use alchemy.

But now Edward stared at the circle he drew on the ground and frowned slightly. He was not sure why Liu Mengchao drew the outline of the country by himself.

"Don't you think it looks familiar?"

Liu Mengchao's voice rang in Edward's ears, and he frowned slightly, thinking carefully, and then his eyes widened involuntarily.

"Does it look like an alchemical circle?"

Liu Mengchao's smiling voice rang in Edward's ears, as if everything just happened was as clear and simple as Liu Mengchao expected.

"There is nothing wrong with being a circle. It is not unreasonable to say that the appearance of a country is similar to that of alchemy. Isn't this kind of coincidence just for this situation?" Edward raised his head and asked Liu Mengchao.

.

"What if I say no?"

Liu Mengchao responded quietly, with the expression on his face still as calm as before. He already understood this matter clearly enough. In other words, to Liu Mengchao, this matter couldn't be more clear.

"I don't believe it. If you want something not to be a coincidence, you need more evidence." Edward said slowly, and the look on his face became more fierce. He seemed to have expected such a situation, and even

It’s even more detailed than what Liu Mengchao thought.

"Alphonse fell into a coma during that battle." Edward looked at Liu Mengchao's expression and said softly, "So I also suspect that there are some things that were submerged in that battle."

"That's right!" After hearing Edward's words, Liu Mengchao snapped his fingers and raised the corners of his mouth, "Maybe it's not a good thing to say, but I think it's still a very simple matter."

"Simple?"

Edward couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Mengchao's words.

"What if I say that the president is not the president? What if I say that this country is not a country of alchemists? What if I say that this country has had its own mission since its birth?"

Grand President? Alchemy? Mission?

Edward lowered his head and meditated. Every word of Liu Mengchao seemed to have a profound meaning, which made him want to think carefully, but the details made him want to think about it in more detail.

"We all know that there are artificial humans in this country. We all know that if you want to create artificial humans, you must have the Philosopher's Stone. And the so-called Philosopher's Stone is the best and most useful.

The material is the so-called human being."

As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, his fingers were already on the ground in front of Edward.

"What is the most common thing about a country?"

"people!"

Edward said in a deep voice.

"It's people. What can people create?"

"Philosopher's Stone!"

Edward almost gasped and answered Liu Mengchao's question. Now he only felt that cold sweat began to break out on his back, making him tremble involuntarily. Edward and Liu Mengchao were different.

It can even be said that he is the most talented national alchemist in history. Although due to his age, he is not as good as those national alchemists who have experienced war in some aspects, but for Edward, one thing is certain.

of.

His perception of alchemy is definitely one of the best in this country. So Edward didn't even hesitate and started thinking directly according to Liu Mengchao's ideas.

It is not impossible to treat the entire country as raw materials for alchemy and use it to refine the Philosopher's Stone. On the contrary, even if it is such a whimsical thing, if there is really a formation, it is absolutely impossible.

It is possible to succeed. Because for alchemy, there is only one principle.

Equivalent exchange!

As long as this principle is followed, anything can happen.

“First the East!”

Edward's hand suddenly circled a few locations on the right side of the map. There was nothing special about these locations, they looked like they were randomly drawn by others.

But for Edward, these few points are enough. He once saw the refining array about the Philosopher's Stone in the fifth research room in the center. He knew that on the right side of the refining array, it was

There are several locations like these.

"If you map the riots that have occurred in the country over the years into a formation, you will find that the positions of these locations are very coincidental, as if someone had drawn them from the sky." Liu Mengchao's voice said.

Edward's ears rang softly, "I don't think any coincidence is enough to explain these things? What's more..."

"Not to mention what?"

Edward turned his head suddenly, looked at Liu Mengchao and asked aloud. He was almost able to bear the heart-wrenching news now.

"What's more, Edward, you have to know that when Mr. President was fighting with Mr. Greed, he accidentally revealed some little secrets."

Little secret?

No, no, no...this is unlikely, right?

Although Edward has deduced the truth about this country with the help of Liu Mengchao, the truth behind this truth still makes Edward unable to believe it.
