"real?"

Edward asked Liu Mengchao softly, but no matter what his tone, it sounded without any power... He seemed to just want to plead with Liu Mengchao to deny his own judgment, but for Liu Mengchao, this was just a light word.

Something about shaking your head lightly.

"real."

After Liu Mengchao said these two words softly, he squinted his eyes and smiled to see Edward's reaction. The young man was suddenly stunned on the spot, as if his soul had been pulled out, and he just stared blankly at the portrait in front of him.

The appearance that came out.

"Liu Mengchao...you know...when I was at the Central Committee, I once went on a mission with Colonel Roy Mustang."

"Task?"

"Yes, that's the mission. We were dealing with an alchemist who could control water vapor. His personal ability was very strong. If he touched a limb at will, the blood hidden in the human body would boil instantly.

Burn a man alive. Press

Logically speaking, he is already a national alchemist..." Edward said slowly, the doubts in his eyes that should have been hidden disappeared in an instant, "He has also participated in the Ishval Competition.

Annihilation is a very good person."

Edward told him little by little information about the national alchemist. Although he could not even remember the name of the national alchemist now, his words at that time now appeared in Edward's mind very clearly.

among.

You have no idea what this country wants to do!

What does this country want to do? Isn’t it clear now? This country wants to use all the people in the country as materials for the Philosopher’s Stone, and turn them into Philosopher’s Stone!

"The President... has known all this for a long time, so our country will continue to wage war against neighboring countries in all directions, right?" Edward whispered something that even he could not believe, but the look on his face was full of worry.

A look of horror.

"It seems that is indeed the case." Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded, "This country has turned into a huge formation, and all of us in this formation are just about to become

The material of the Philosopher's Stone."

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Edward shouted.

"If you really want to cultivate the Philosopher's Stone, you will need more than just these things." Edward raised his head, looked at Liu Mengchao and said, "We, he still needs us."

us?

Liu Mengchao looked at Edward, and then he also reflected it. If it is difficult to succeed in this formation, it is not unimaginable at all, right?

But what is needed to refine the formation is not something difficult to achieve.

"Indeed." Liu Mengchao nodded slowly and smiled, "I think if you want to really implement this formation, you need so-called people to live in it, right? For example, you, for example, Alphonse,

For example, your master, and me."

"Yeah! I think so too." Edward nodded vigorously, agreeing with Liu Mengchao's words, "Those of us who have seen the Door of Truth may also be indispensable for making the Philosopher's Stone... No, it shouldn't be

It’s the Philosopher’s Stone, it should be another refining formation.”

After all, Edward knew more about alchemy than Liu Mengchao. Once he knew the truth about this country, he could imagine far more than Liu Mengchao could understand.

"If it is just to be able to refine the Philosopher's Stone, there is no need to protect people like me who have seen the Gate of Truth. So... this formation formation is just the first step, and there should be others who can use it later.

The alchemist who has seen the Door of Truth."

Interesting. This is really interesting, isn't it?

Liu Mengchao couldn't help but smile after listening to Edward's words. If there were some mistakes in his previous inferences, there should be absolutely no mistakes now.

Thinking about it, how can an alchemist who can create artificial humans create a country specifically for the Philosopher's Stone? Such a thing is really too small for him to do.

It turns out that using the entire country as material for the Philosopher's Stone is just a link in his formation. And then, those alchemists who have seen the Gate of Truth and performed human body refining,

It is also an indispensable material for him. Therefore, those artificial talents will always be around Edward, protecting this boy and preventing him from dying.

Yes, yes, it seems that is indeed the case.

"What are you going to do?"

While Liu Mengchao was deep in thought, Edward suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Mengchao and asked softly. Although he was a resolute person, he was still a little undecided when he suddenly heard such a secret.

Some people cannot control the thoughts in their hearts.

"you do not know?"

Liu Mengchao looked at the expression on Edward's face with some curiosity and laughed.

"No... no matter what, I want to prevent the birth of this alchemy formation." Edward's voice couldn't help but become excited, "Alchemy should be a product that can benefit mankind. Such things... Such things...

…Absolutely not!”

Edward spoke very firmly, and the look on his face was extremely determined. Of course he knew what was going to happen after he said these words.

This formation can be said to be the will of this country. In other words, if he wants to stop this formation, he needs to fight against the entire country.

Fighting against the entire country sounds very passionate, but it is actually a very stupid thing. But if you really want to save the country, you can only take this stupid-sounding path.

Edward had no choice. He chose to go on bravely.

"well done."

Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded. Just by looking at the expression on Edward's face, he already knew what this man was thinking and the firm thoughts in this young man's heart.

"Then we'll see you at the Central Committee." Liu Mengchao said with a smile, "By the way, I think there is something I haven't told you yet. The artificial people have a father who is an extremely powerful alchemist."

Edward nodded.

"He's in the center now."

Edward's eyes suddenly opened wide.

"I'm not hot-headed, but...since you can make up your mind, I will definitely not be inferior to you in what I want to do."

Liu Mengchao smiled and waved to Edward before disappearing into the night.

Unite all those who can be united, and then move towards your goal. This is Liu Mengchao's current plan.
