[Steel Flame Steel] Blue Lion

——But those crimson eyes remained the same as before.

"How is it?" The woman standing at the end of the road asked gently, she hugged her elbows and smiled.

"As expected, Rust." The completely changed tone dragged on impatiently, and the man in the military cap spread his hands, "Does it have to be that kind of person?"

"That's for sure, Envi." Ruster walked forward gracefully, and she patted the round head of the man standing in the shadows, "We just need to use him."

Enwei stopped in his tracks, and he turned around to look at the caged humans—these were the first batch of test subjects held underground in the Fifth Research Institute.

"Tch, he won't be obediently used by us... Tell me, do you want to threaten him with that guy who can play with fire?" As Enwei approached, all the people in the cage backed away in fear until they touched Hit the cold wall.

"How?" Lust laughed, she waved her hand, and then shifted her gaze, "It's thanks to him that we can get these test items."

Enwei shrugged helplessly, it doesn't matter anyway - as long as the Philosopher's Stone can be successfully made.

"It's time to start, Rust."

"What's the matter, you seem to be in a bad mood recently." Finally being able to seize an opportunity, Roy saw the person in the library who was so busy that he couldn't even catch his shadow.

Intuition told Roy that there might be a little problem with this little bean, and it might not be just a small trouble.

As before, Ed still likes to hide in the corner of the library when he is free, where he used to stay most often.A pile of precious books was stacked high, blocking the figure of the blond bean.If Roy hadn't been too familiar with him, he wouldn't have found this place at all.

Hearing Roy's voice, Ed, who was curled up on the window sill, raised his head and glanced at the black-haired man, suddenly feeling a little dazed.He has only one feeling in the institute these days, that is, he wants to blow up that place that disgusts him so much.

When Ed can really feel better, he probably hides in the library and reads day and night.This is the place he is most familiar with, and it is also the place where he feels the most secure.

"I've encountered a little trouble." Looking into the pair of worried jet-black eyes, Ed's words that he originally wanted to perfunctory turned abruptly, and the only person he could trust now was the person in front of him.

But he couldn't pour out all his troubles.

"A high-ranking officer in the military?" Intuitively thinking that Ed would not handle interpersonal relationships, Roy made a bold guess.This time he was right, but it wasn't about interpersonal relationships, but about the mission itself.

Roy only knew that Ed was very resistant to going to the Fifth Research Institute, and as a national alchemist, he also resisted orders from high-level officials many times.

"No, it can't be regarded as this aspect..." Ed jumped off the window sill, his feet slipped and almost stepped on the books on the ground, "Huh—" Ed not only broke into a cold sweat for himself.These are precious books, if he stepped on them, he would definitely be scolded bloody.

Seeing Ed who was about to return the books, Roy, who was still waiting for the next step, picked up the little bean and picked up the pile of bulky books on the desk, and followed behind him to consciously help lift them up.

Ed, who was about to take the book, froze in place, and glanced suspiciously at the smiling black-haired man.He didn't think Roy would be such a hardworking person... What's the current situation?

"Go on." Following behind Ed, Roy carefully controlled his pace so that the books that were too high would not fall off.Now he wants to know what this little bean is worrying about. To be honest, it feels very bad to be concealed.This little bean was probably doing something dangerous, so he refused to participate.

"It's nothing," Ed said casually, probably because Roy helped him.Even though he was forced to participate in an experiment that he didn't want to touch, he was still able to control himself, so Ed felt a little surprised, "It's just something very annoying."

Being able to make Ed feel disgusted probably touched his bottom line.Roy stuffed the books in his hand into the bookshelf one by one, and began to think.There are probably only two kinds that can reach the bottom line of charity, one is human life, and the other is taboo.

"Taboo...?" With his own analysis, Roy affirmed the reason.Then he grabbed Ed's shoulder and locked those golden eyes tightly, "They asked you to touch the taboo?"

Roy found that his voice was a little hoarse. He straightened his face and tried to make his expression more serious.

"Hush—" Ed stood on tiptoe and covered Roy's mouth. The whole place was almost under the control of the artificial man. Perhaps it was this unconscious slip of the tongue that would lead to serious consequences, "Keep your voice down."

The seriousness in the golden eyes made Roy hold his breath, maybe everything was more complicated than he imagined.With a slight smile, Roy grabbed Ed's hand that was about to be withdrawn first, and forced him to his lips, "Maybe we can go to a safer place?"

The central library belongs to the military department, and eyes and ears are of course indispensable.In particular, this kind of inner hall can only allow national alchemists to enter and exit, so it is even more dangerous.

Seeing the sparkling black eyes, the words of rejection came to Ed's mouth, but he couldn't say anything.He didn't know why Roy was always trying to understand him, even infiltrating every part of his life.What alarmed Ed even more was that he wasn't disgusted.

"So this is what you said, the so-called safe place?" The corner of Ed's mouth twitched, watching the people coming and going, he couldn't help but want to touch his forehead and leave.Ed was dizzy from the noise of conversation and the smell of alcohol—how could he have been lured into a place like this?

The bar, and it was the bar that Roy had observed for a long time.The last time Ed's expression was so cute because he was drunk, he couldn't help but want to watch it a second time.And the drunk little Douzi is much more well-behaved than expected.

"In this kind of place where information is mixed, it doesn't matter if something is reported." Roy smiled at the waiter, and then ordered two glasses of wine under Ed's disgusted gaze, "Here."

The color was pretty, but Ed didn't think he'd enjoy drinking the grown-up drink.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's not what you imagined." Ed wiped the water vapor gradually appearing on the wall of the glass with his hands, and raised his head to see the waiter who was mixing the wine - those were the crimson eyes with a nasty smile.

In an instant, Ed knew who the person in front of him was, and his heart, which had been shaken by Roy's clever tongue, became firm again.He couldn't just put Roy in danger like this, especially when the artificial man didn't have a good threat target.

"You want to exclude me?" Roy swung his glass and drank it in no hurry.What he saw was Xiaodouzi who suddenly tensed up, "Steel——"

The black-haired man tilted his head, and then slowly approached Ed from the front.

Breathing together again, Ed's attention was pulled away from the waiter by Roy.With the steamed bun face so close, Ed even felt that their lips were about to stick together.

"Don't exclude me."

The deep voice was like hypnosis, and the heart that was about to jump out of his chest made Ed feel that it was difficult to breathe.I really want to post it, and then try to feel it - Ed's inner voice said so.

At this time, the waiter who was standing still and staring at Ed with cold eyes started to move.He took a few glasses of wine and walked to the other end, where several people were gathering at the table to discuss something.

"Taboo...not really taboo..." Ed licked his lips nervously, forgetting to push Roy's face away.He looked closely at the black eyes, and found that the flash in them made him wish for more affection, "It's just something that makes me very uncomfortable."

"What's wrong with that waiter?" Instead of following Ed's words, Roy was keenly aware of the change in the person in front of him.What he refused to say just now, he was only willing to reveal a little bit after the waiter left.What caught his attention the most was that the waiter didn't look like a human with purple eyes.

"..." As if he didn't expect Roy to notice the difference so quickly, Ed grasped the hand that Roy unconsciously placed on his thigh, "I'm being watched."

Surveillance?

Roy's pupils shrank a little. In his opinion, this little bean was not the kind of existence that needed to be monitored by the upper echelons of the military, except for causing some minor troubles.This can only show that he is really involved in a matter from which he cannot get out.

But what he saw in those twinkling golden eyes was not timidity, but excitement eager to try.The self-confidence inside made Roy couldn't help but want to smile, he knew that the little bean in front of him would not be shaken by any threats.

"I will solve this matter, and I must solve it." Ed said firmly. One of the purposes of his joining the military was to seal the artificial man.As he insisted, there are always things worth dying for.

And here, it was purely an accident that Enwei met Ed in the bar.The task he got was actually to monitor these few people who suddenly appeared in Central City, not the Fullmetal Alchemist.

In their view, that alchemist would never be beyond their control.

"When do we want..." Enwei put the wine on the table with a smile, then moved with the crowd and leaned against a corner.he
