The Fruit of Surgery

After learning about ice alchemy from Isaac, Shen Fei immediately left him. As for what he would do next, whether to continue to find the president and die, or to return to the resistance and continue to fight against the military, that was not him It can be managed.

Shen Fei naturally refused Isaac's invitation to kill the President together. It was not difficult to kill the President, but it would not do any good to the country at all. It did not kill the villain in the bottle, even if it meant killing them all. Artificial humans are of no use at all.

The artificial man and the little man in the bottle can be produced at any time. Even if he can continue to kill and prevent the little man in the bottle from continuing his plans, once this opportunity is missed, it will be very troublesome to deal with the little man in the bottle.

The little man in the bottle has a long lifespan. Even if Amestorius cannot complete the task, at worst, he can just move to another place and continue the plan. If there is no Hohenheim, no one in this world can stop it.

The resistance army that Isaac and others belong to can always exist. In fact, it is the president and the artificial humans who deliberately stopped targeting them after they were forced to a specific place. All this was to cause more casualties. .

"Issac's alchemist strength is still not good enough. It seems that he has no potential to become a human pillar." With the help of the ice formation formation in his palm, an ice sword immediately appeared in Shen Fei's hand, and Ma Stan Just as the colonel can set fire by adjusting the composition of the air, he can also adjust the composition of the air so that he has enough moisture.

The so-called ice refining array is actually an extension of the water refining array. When the water drops below zero, it becomes ice. If it heats up, it becomes water vapor.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could freeze people to death or evaporate the water in the human body to death.

Isaac does not have the ability to use moisture in the air. His ice alchemy can only use water or blood. The formation formation he used to seal the Presidential Palace was completed by using the surrounding water pipes. of.

The effect of alchemy depends on the imagination in your mind, but this imagination is not an imagination out of thin air, but an understanding with scientific basis.

Therefore, even if some people can quickly understand and use the same alchemy formation, some people will have no effect, or the effect will be unsatisfactory.

This is like a class of students sitting on a set of test papers. Some have perfect scores, some have just passed, and some have single digits. They are all taught by the same teacher and the same set of textbooks.

Compared to fire, Shen Fei prefers ice, otherwise he would not take the initiative to save Isaac. Although if he was allowed to study by himself, he would also develop ice alchemy, but this would take time.

"It's time to go to a new country, but now that we have come to this world, there are some things that need to be stopped." Regarding steelmaking, besides remembering the general main line, Shen Fei also remembered two things deeply. One was the death of Hughes. , he originally had a chance to escape, but because Enwei turned into the appearance of his wife, he couldn't bear to do it, and he died in Enwei's hands.

Another thing is the incident of the little girl's synthetic beast. There are many synthetic beasts among artificial humans, but they are all adults. The little girl and the dog were synthesized by her father, although he did not remember the little girl's identity at this time. name, and the name of his father, the alchemist.

"Hughes, how should we remind him here? If he is so smart, why isn't he an alchemist? Alchemists also depend on talent."

Of the five pillars, three were occupied by Edward's family, and one was their brother's master. Only Colonel Mustang was an outsider.

"Speaking of which, Hohenheim's blood should be different from ordinary people's. That's why his two sons have such powerful alchemy talents. More importantly, the little man in the bottle seems to be refined from his blood."

"If everything is as I guessed before, that means the little man in the bottle may also be a creature in the dimensional space. The giant world over there is also a dimensional creature, and here we are again."

"Brother Edward, have you embarked on your journey?" At the platform of the Central City train station, Brother Edward was waving goodbye to Mustang and Hughes who came to see them off.

He became the national alchemist, and with the help of Mustang, he quickly obtained information about the Philosopher's Stone. There are many legends circulating in this country, most of which are not true or false. That is, brother Edward was eager to recover his body. I won't tell if it's true or false, I'll go over and confirm it.

The Philosopher's Stone is so helpful to alchemists. Why does it seem that except for the Edward brothers, no other alchemists are pursuing it? In fact, the reason is very simple. Other alchemists who are pursuing the Philosopher's Stone , all found the Philosopher's Stone.

The reason why it is so easy to obtain is because once the artificial people find out that there are alchemists looking for the Philosopher's Stone, they will appear and leave the Philosopher's Stone. Such an important thing, of course, these people who get it will not leak it. .

The purpose of the artificial beings to distribute the Philosopher's Stone is to create chaos. Those who can persist in pursuing the Philosopher's Stone must be greedy people. After such people obtain the Philosopher's Stone, they will never be honest and pass the Philosopher's Stone at the same time. The Philosopher's Stone and the artificial man are also looking for some human chess pieces.

Isaac also once obtained the Philosopher's Stone, and used it as energy to show his power on the battlefield of Ishval. It was precisely because of this that he discovered the problem.

"By the way, Mustang performed very well on the battlefield of Ishvar. Why didn't the androids give him the Philosopher's Stone?" Looking at Mustang's back, Shen Fei suddenly had this thought in his mind, "Remember Jin Bulli, the doctor and others all used the Philosopher's Stone, no, I seem to have remembered it wrong, he seemed to have used it, forget it, I can't remember clearly."

"Look at his epaulettes. He's not a colonel now. He hasn't been promoted yet." With this thought in mind, Shen Fei was about to leave. There were so many people coming and going at the train station that it was really not a good place to meet Hughes.

"Sir, you seem to have been staring at us before. What's the matter?" Just as Shen Fei left the train station and turned around a street, he saw a figure in front of him, wearing a blue military uniform and wearing glasses. , playing with a small knife in his right hand. Hughes's flying knife is very powerful.

Then before Shen Fei turned around, he felt a figure appear behind him. He was also wearing a blue military uniform, holding a pistol in his hand, and had short yellow hair. It was Lieutenant Hawkeye. Although she held a pistol in her hand, Shen Fei was not targeted.

In the third direction, Mustang walked over with a white flammable cloth glove on his left hand, surrounded on three sides, and the other side was a wall, which was a dead end.

"This is the second time he's been discovered." Shen Fei was very depressed at this time. It didn't matter if he was discovered by Gluttony. After all, he was an artificial man and different from ordinary people, but Mustang and others were ordinary people. He was The distance is far away from them.

"I do have something to see Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, but how did you find me?" Shen Fei spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. At this time, he did not have an alchemy array in his hands, and of course he just didn't have it. Under his clothes, there are protective sleeves with the formation formation painted on them.

The formation formation on Ska's arm does not have to be painted on the arm, the same applies to other places.

"What are you looking for me for?" At this time, Hughes had already put away the knife in his hand. With Mustang around, he didn't need to take action in the battle.

"It's a matter of your life and death. By the way, this is not a place for conversation. Is there a safe and hidden place?" Shen Fei said calmly.

"My life and death, what do you mean?" Hughes frowned after hearing what Shen Fei said.

"Let's talk in a safe place, preferably somewhere away from the military." Shen Fei said and looked at Mustang.

"Okay." The three of Mustang looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Soon the four of them arrived in a vehicle driven by Hawkeye and arrived at an ordinary-looking room.

"Can you take off your gloves, Flame Alchemist?" After entering the room, Shen Fei said directly to Mustang, and at the same time stretched out his hand, the meaning was very simple, give him the gloves.

After hesitating for a moment, Mustang took off his gloves and handed them to Shen Fei.

"The other one." Shen Fei continued. Mustang always only used one hand, which made many people think that he only carried one fire cloth. In fact, he had two on him, and he also carried a box with him.

"I'm sorry, because you are the National Alchemist and participated in the Battle of Ishval. I have to be careful. Ms. Hawkeye, can you please point a gun at our National Alchemist?"

After putting away the two flammable cloth gloves, Shen Fei suddenly had a mischievous idea in his heart, so he said this to Hawkeye.

"What do you mean?" Hughes spoke directly before Mustang and Hawkeye could speak.

"What I am going to say next is related to the survival of this country. As the national alchemist directly under the jurisdiction of the president, I need to confirm his position."

"Hawkeye, do as he said?" Hughes was about to say something more when Mustang spoke directly. After Hawkeye hesitated for a moment, he pulled out his pistol and aimed at Mustang.

"You can say it now." Mustang stared at Shen Fei and said.

"You guys take a look at this photo first." Shen Fei said as he took out a photo. In the photo, it was the president. His left eye did not have an eye patch at this time, but instead showed a pattern of an ouroboros.

"President, what is this?" The three of them recognized the appearance of the President immediately, but the appearance of the left eye shocked the three of them, because it was impossible for normal people's eyes to look like this.

"That's ouroboros, a mark belonging to artificial humans." Shen Fei said lightly.

"You said that the president is an artificial man. This is impossible." After hearing what Shen Fei said, Hughes immediately retorted, and then looked at Mustang. Hughes didn't understand alchemy, but Mustang is a country. Alchemist.

"Alchemy can't make a human being, though."

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that some people can't do it. I think you all know that the Ice Alchemist assassinated the President before, but I'm afraid you don't know the reason why he assassinated the President."

Before the three Hughes could speak, Shen Fei continued, "It's because of the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone is made from human life. The reason why the war in Ishval happened was actually for the people there." To refine the Philosopher's Stone, as far as I know, many national alchemists at that time used the Philosopher's Stone. You were also a participant in that war. Don't you know this?"

"What did you say?" Hughes, Mustang, and Hawke stood up immediately after hearing Shen Fei's words. The war in Ishval was their eternal pain. Before, they had convinced themselves that it was a war, but if all this was a conspiracy, it would be different.

"Don't you feel strange? Ishval will not cause any harm to the country at all. Why should we annihilate them? Isaac thought of assassinating the president because he discovered this secret."

"So that's the case. It makes sense. I said that there was no need to fight Ishval to this extent. It turned out that it was all for the Philosopher's Stone." Hughes muttered to himself in a low voice.

"In fact, all this is just the beginning." Shen Fei said, taking out a national map of Amestris and spreading it in front of everyone. There were already several circles drawn on it.

"You are an alchemist, you should be able to see what's wrong with this map." Shen Fei asked Mustang directly.

"This is an alchemy array." Mustang immediately distinguished that the national map, Mustang and others as soldiers, would come into contact with it almost every day, but they had not considered it in this direction before.

"So the purpose of those wars was to make the country round." Hughes's historical knowledge was much better than Mustang and Hawkeye's. That's why he was able to discover the conspiracy of the androids so quickly in the original book.

"This is the National Alchemy Array. Once completed, all the citizens of the country can be transformed into Philosopher's Stones. Those wars are just paving the way for this."

"This is impossible. The military leaders can't fail to discover these problems." Hughes shouted.

"Of course they found out, but they chose to go along with the androids. The Philosopher's Stone has many names and many abilities. One of the abilities is that if you use the Philosopher's Stone, you can live forever. The military leaders want to live forever."

"The Philosopher's Stone, which can activate any alchemy without any cost, is actually not without cost. Its cost is human life."

Using the Philosopher's Stone, you can ignore the Alchemy Array and directly activate alchemy, which is almost the same as Polaroid.

"Although Isaac discovered the truth, he did not discover it all. That is, the President is not the final watcher. There is someone behind him. This person is the mastermind. Now what I want to know is, do you really not know about this opportunity? As far as I know, alchemists from many countries have participated in this plan." Shen Fei stared at Mustang and said this.
