[Comprehensive] Just a housekeeper

Edward hung up the phone angrily, and was pushed back to the ward by Danny who drank three cups of coffee at the corner.

However, to Edward's surprise, two days later, his mechanical armor repairman in the small village came over faster than Mr. Xi Chuan in the Eastern Command.

When Wen Li came to the ward, Mr. Xi Chuan hadn't arrived yet.

When Xi Chuan came to the center by train, he followed the subordinate officials who came to welcome him to Edward's ward, just in time to miss Wen Li who had just repaired Edward's arm and was dragged away by Hughes.

When he came in with the fruit for medical treatment, Edward fell into embarrassment because of the Philosopher's Stone. Except for saying hello at the beginning, he didn't know how to talk to the person in front of him.Putting the melons and fruits on the cabinet in front of Edward's hospital bed, Xi Chuan opened his eyes and gave the two officials in the room a tactful look.Maria and Danny looked at each other, and looked at Edward on the hospital bed. Edward moaned and groaned helplessly in his heart again, but still nodded reluctantly.So, the only two who could relieve the atmosphere also went out directly.

Sitting on the stool in front of the hospital bed, Xi Chuan took off his hat, folded his hands on his lap, and waited silently for Edward's explanation.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Edward was dripping with cold sweat: At this moment, Danny suddenly wanted to come in from outside. At least he could liven up the atmosphere. He really got a cold from people like Mr. Xichuan!

"...At the beginning." Edward finally made up his mind and said after hesitating for a long time.

"When we met Dr. Marco, he said that the Philosopher's Stone is a research conducted by demons."

"He was right."

Edward lowered his head, fingers on the bed clutching the white sheets under his hands.

"We deciphered Dr. Marco's information. The materials they studied for making the Philosopher's Stone turned out to be...living people."

"After learning about it, Al and I also broke into the fifth research institute that was used to study the Philosopher's Stone at that time, and basically confirmed this fact from inside."

"..." Xi Chuan opened his eyes with a surprised expression, but within a few seconds of being surprised, he returned to his expressionless state again.

"It really is something like this."

What?There was an expected certainty in his tone, which made Edward look up at the man beside him in surprise.

Xi Chuan stretched out his finger calmly: "Equivalent exchange is the foundation of alchemy and also an unchanging principle. It can be said to be absolute, but the Philosopher's Stone claims to be able to break the existence of equivalent exchange."

"What do you think this kind of thing that can break the balance?" Xi Chuan pushed his glasses, his eyes were closed behind the transparent mirror, and he should not be able to see anything, but he was still the same as ordinary people, no, more than ordinary people, More clearly than they can see.

"How does something like that exist?"

Edward froze.

"There was no solution to this problem at the time." Xi Chuan put down his hands, and slightly bent down to face Edward.

"Then change the route of inquiry."

"I once guessed that if the truth, that is, the equivalent exchange, has been practiced from the beginning to the end, if it is not really broken, then there is actually a price for using the Philosopher's Stone. But why is the price not shown on the user?"

"It's very simple." Xi Chuan shrugged.

"Because something else pays the price for the user."

"Sage's Stone." Xi Chuan lowered his eyes, and closed his eyes again after saying these four words.

"The price that can offset all costs for others, what is such a philosopher's stone?" A cold voice echoed in the room.

"Naturally...you can exchange all prices, and you can satisfy the equivalent exchange..."

"enough!"

Edward's hand beside him was clenched violently, his body trembling slightly due to excitement, and the look on his face was a little struggling, with many puzzles and escapes.

"..." Yuan glanced at Edward who was drooping his head and gritted his teeth, Xi Chuan slightly opened his eyes and pushed his glasses.

"Edward."

Edward was silent.

Xi Chuan didn't stop, and the dark light flashed across his pupils, fleeting like a meteor, revealing deep reason and ruthlessness, as if he had removed some emotion and thrown away something other than something. Everything was normal, and continued: "I want to tell you."

"Even knowing this, I have no intention of stopping."

His body stopped abruptly, and Edward, with his head down, widened his eyes.

Having finished speaking, Xi Chuan stood up and put his hat on again.

"My purpose is not to make the Philosopher's Stone, I just want to study, study the truth, and then understand myself." I want to know about that person, about myself, why he appeared here, and that person and he is...

Xi Chuan clenched his hand hanging by his side lightly, and the black brim of his hat cast a dark shadow on his face.

"So, no matter what, if someone can find a stone, I'm willing to continue to trade with him."

Turning around, Xi Chuan walked towards the gate.

"Haven't you thought about giving up?"

Edward's voice suddenly came from behind, the hand on the doorknob stopped pressing down, Xi Chuan turned his back to him, and said lightly: "Giving up...is impossible, it is related to the meaning of my existence. The same thing."

"If I don't pursue that answer, I will have nothing, so how could I give up."

"And." Xi Chuan turned his head, and Edward, whose hollow brown eyes met his, looked into his eyes. Even after seeing the scene of hell, he knew the cruelty of reality...

"Aren't you also planning to give up?"

The golden pupils shone with a dazzling light, and those eyes that burn with fighting spirit are not like those who give up.

Click.

The door of the ward was closed, and Edward vaguely heard outside the door, Xi Chuan saying goodbye to his subordinates Maria and Danny.

……

After leaving the hospital, Xi Chuan returned to the hotel he had booked, and Yuan swept over the people who were watching him at the corner, but he ignored him.After night fell, under the surveillance of those people, he disappeared into the room without a sound the moment he turned off the lights.

In the blocked Fifth Research Institute.

A black shadow skipped across the sky.

None of the soldiers patrolling below noticed the existence of that black shadow.

Jumping to the foot of the fence, Xi Chuan slowly stood up, looking at the ruins in front of him covered with braces.

Fifth Institute.

Now it has completely collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble.

"Although it's all collapsed like this, but..." This is better. Even the central government can't clean up such a troublesome scene. Just look at the situation where less than half of it has been cleaned up now, and they don't feel it. There will be something useful left, so the speed is not fast.

That said, there must be something left here!

……

The Fifth Research Institute, I miss it very much.

After he became a national alchemist, he was invited to work in the research institute, but he did not go to the fifth research institute at that time, but went to the third research institute to conduct various medical alchemy research.

He has no interest in serving the country at all. His purpose is always to find, to find the existence that he is here to stop.So after absorbing all the knowledge there, he directly killed him and resigned to change places.But before he left, he received a transfer to the Fifth Research Institute, but what he wanted to study was completely different from what the market wanted to research, so Xi Chuan sneaked into the Fifth Research Institute overnight to check, and there was nothing wrong with it. He looked inside, but just like that, he still found that the research of the Fifth Research Institute was roughly about the subjects of human body formation and immortality that he had given up on, so he didn't even bother to go, so he directly refused.

He has no desire to study the illusory and boring things like eternal life. "Live long" is not a really beautiful thing. Although not all people who "live long" will hate life, but the same is true, That feeling of being left out of the world.

If 'eternal life' is the result of someone's own choice, then he will definitely regret that way of living.

As for now, the country's pursuit of immortality takes time and energy to control, and the result is not what he wants, so why does he get involved.

Tell him that he will regret it if you don't go, and talk about eternal glory, he will get whatever he wants, they, the country need him and so on... Xi Chuan is not moved at all: shut up, boring, not interested, Reject three consecutive.jpg

He also had a quarrel with those upper echelons at that time, and after seeing his ability, those upper echelons wanted to control him and lock him by his side, but...

Xi Chuan tilted his head: What do you want to do?

Don't offend the doctor if you offend anyone. This sentence has been a common sentence since ancient times no matter in which world it is.As for the tricks of the upper echelon, Xi Chuan followed every trick, saw every trick, and even sent a fat man and a guy who turned into his side flying (physically) half of the city.

Xi Chuan, holding a telegraph pole and swinging his club: the fat one feels good.

Gluttonous Granito: QAQ~~~~

The jealous Enwei was furious: let us leave if we can't be beaten to death!I hate this guy! ! !And, Granito, stop barking!

Within a month, Xi Chuan subdued the upper echelons in the central government who wanted to control him, and was sent away respectfully from the central city.

At the end of the memory, Xi Chuan had already quietly dug a big hole leading to the bottom in an inconspicuous corner of the ruins with a shovel wrapped in thoughts when he was feeling emotional.

Well, it's a pity that when he sneaked in, he didn't look carefully, and he didn't dive to the bottom, so he didn't expect that those guys were still working on the Philosopher's Stone besides research on soul transfer.If he had known, he would have stayed to take a look.
