President Kim Bradley walked up to Su Xiao with his hands behind his back.
"Do you know...who you killed?"
Although Kim Blood was smiling, her tone was cold.
Su Xiao narrowed his eyes and moved his right hand unconsciously, ready to take out the Dragon Slaying Flash at any time. He could clearly feel that the other party had killing intent.
"Who knows, this might be the product of an alchemist."
"Is this really the case? Then I should reward your behavior?"
Jin Brad's body relaxed and it seemed that he was not ready to fight Su Xiao.
The team of artificial humans seems to be strong, but it is not so. They have a fatal weakness, that is, they cannot see the light.
The purpose of the villain in the bottle is to turn everyone in Asia and America into a philosopher's stone. Only a few androids and a few high-ranking military officials know this.
As for the purpose of the little man in the bottle refining the Philosopher's Stone, it is to become a 'god'.
The little man in the bottle does not want to cultivate immortality or ascend, which is impossible in the world of steel.
According to Su Xiao's guess, the villain in the bottle may want to exchange the Philosopher's Stone for the Door of Truth, or simply want to obtain the Door of Truth.
In the world of steel, if you get the door of truth, you can be called a god.
Although the little man in the bottle has lived for hundreds of years, the Philosopher's Stone in his body will eventually run out, and that's when he will die.
The little man in the bottle is pursuing a perfect existence. It wants to become a god and an eternal existence.
Although the current villain in the bottle seems to be very powerful, it knows that its current abilities are not enough to control Asia and the United States by force, so the robot's actions are all done in secret.
Jin Brad also knew this. It was true that Su Xiao killed Greedy, but Greedy was no longer one of theirs and had been gone for a century.
It is possible to be suspicious, but it is unlikely to fall out with Su Xiao directly.
Su Xiao has already killed three androids, and is planning to continue. The fire cannot be contained within the paper, and it will be a matter of time before they are exposed.
But before being exposed, Su Xiao must gain as much advantage as possible to fight the villain in the bottle.
It was impossible for Su Xiao to defeat the villain in the bottle alone. He had never thought about challenging the villain in a bottle alone, which might lead to him being promoted to the strongest person in the world.
In the original work, there are four groups of people fighting against the villain in the bottle.
The first group is led by Colonel Mustang, the Alchemist of Fire.
The second group is the protagonist and his blood relatives and masters.
The third group is the army on the north wall of Briguz, headed by the Snow Queen Olivia Mira. This group has the largest number of people and extensive connections.
The fourth group is the remnants of Ishbal, including Scarface.
Following Kim Bradley, Su Xiao began to consider which of the four groups could become allies.
First of all, exclude the protagonist and Scarface. He is not compatible with the protagonist team, and he is not optimistic about the protagonist team's behavior.
Just a belief not to kill will make one's own side fall into passivity, and even think about not killing when facing the enemy. You must know that the villain in the bottle controls the political power of a country.
Secondly, excluding Scarface, although this guy's fighting ability is good, the identity arranged by Samsara Paradise for Su Xiao has participated in the 'Ishbal Annihilation War'. After Scarface saw Su Xiao, he might roar: 'Suffer death, you idiot'
devil.'
The remaining two groups are the best choices, the Flame Alchemist Colonel Mustang and the Snow Queen Olivia Mira.
Both of them have armies under their command, and their own strength is not weak, and their character is not corrupt. Of course, this is just a nice way of saying it, and another way of saying it is that it is enough.
Su Xiao's first consideration was to unite with Flame Alchemist Mustang, because he was about to return to Central City and was escorted by Kim Bradley.
Yes, it was an escort. It was impossible for Su Xiao to escape now. Only after returning to Central City could she regain her freedom.
Sitting on the train returning to Central City, Kim Bradley sat opposite Su Xiao with a cup of black tea.
"Explosive Alchemist, there has been a murder in Lior City recently. I wonder if you have heard about it."
Kim Bradley's tone was calm, and he seemed to be chatting with his subordinates, but he actually hid murderous intentions.
"Murder? I haven't heard of it. I have been suppressing the riots in the past few days. I am tired of running around and have no time to read the newspaper."
"Really? There aren't many national alchemists as competent as you."
"The president is overrated."
Su Xiao chuckled, and the President also smiled. The two of them performed the hidden sword in their smile to the extreme.
He may fall out at any time, but there is no excuse for him to fall out. This is the current situation of the president.
Su Xiao is waiting for opportunities at any time, but the time is not ripe.
He had a vague feeling that President Kim Bradley should have seen something, but he just couldn't break up with him because he had no evidence.
"I wonder if you have any relatives, Baoyan. It says on the record that you have no family. Don't you plan to start a family?"
"I don't think about it for the time being. I really don't have any relatives, but I do have one friend."
"Oh? Which one is an alchemist? If his ability is not weak, you can consider letting him join the national alchemist. You should be clear about the treatment."
Lidya Su drank the black tea and nodded.
"Indeed, but that guy's situation is a bit special."
"What situation."
"He is in prison, and we were fellow inmates before."
Su Xiao looked up at Kim Bradley with a smile on his face. The other person asked him if he had any family, which was actually testing him to see if he had any weaknesses.
As long as there is something wrong with Su Xiao's expression, Kim Bradley will immediately send someone to investigate. If the investigation is really found, the so-called family will immediately become hostages.
"In prison, it's..."
"That's him, Zolf J. Kimbley."
"What a surprise to me. You guys turned out to be friends."
The president remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
Finding that the president was no longer probing, Su Xiao leaned on her seat and thought about the next countermeasures.
The plot of Steel World is actually very simple. The villain in the bottle wants to refine everyone in Asia and America into philosopher's stones. The protagonist team and other forces stop it, and finally succeed. It's that simple.
Although it sounds simple, it is difficult to do in practice.
In the original work, it took the protagonist team a long time to defeat the villain in the bottle. Su Xiao couldn't wait that long, so he had to speed up the progress.
Now that the large-scale formation formation of the villain in the bottle has not been successfully deployed, it is the best time to deal with it.
…
The train soon returned to the center and crashed. Su Xiao began to stay at his residence. He was waiting for someone. If nothing else happened, that person would definitely come to him.
In the bedroom, Su Xiao arranged the windows and took out two purple treasure boxes.
He had been busy before and had no time to open the treasure chest, but now he finally has time.
It is worth mentioning that when killing Greedy before, the opponent did not drop a treasure box, which made Su Xiao extremely depressed.
Not only Greedy himself, but also the synthetic beasts under his command. Su Xiao didn't even see a white treasure chest.
This made him think that it might be the reason for using the alchemy bomb.
To be precise, a bomb made from an uncertified Philosopher's Stone was used, so the possibility of dropping a treasure chest was reduced.
