Yao Lin and his entourage were also confused after arriving in *** City, and they didn't know how to find Chen Anxia at all, but they could only take one step at a time, even if they couldn't find Chen Anxia, it would be good if they could find clues about immortality.

Of course, Yao Lin and his party had long been aware of the anomalies in the underground of the Amesstolis Country, but when they were not familiar with the affairs of this country, everything was not in good judgment.

As for now, Yao Lin, as the young master, is hungry, so he must go to eat first.

On the other side, Chen Anxia began to study the special refining array obtained from Scar's right arm.

Scar's right arm was given to him by his brother, and there is no doubt that Scar's brother was a true genius, not only discovering the secrets of the country on his own, but even deducing the Stone of the Reverse Sage.

And the refining array on Scar's right arm is very extraordinary, which may also be an important part of Chen Anxia's cracking of the Sage's Stone.

We all know that the alchemy of an alchemist is to draw the alchemy array on a plane, and then form a cycle through the interaction between the alchemist and the alchemy array and the alchemy array.

As for Edward's alchemy, it was because he had seen the truth and understood what ordinary alchemists did not understand, and because of this, Edward's body itself was already equivalent to a refining array.

Therefore, Edward does not need to form a circle by carving, as long as he contacts his hands to form a circle, he can produce a cycle to start the refining reaction.

The difference between Scar's alchemy array and other alchemists is that the tattoo on Scar's right arm is not a circle drawn on a flat surface, but a vertical drawing of several concentric circles that surround almost the entire arm.

This is also equivalent to the formation of a refining array that is already in a circulating state outside Scar's body, which is why Scar can launch the refining array directly with one hand.

Moreover, this refining array is a special refining array generated by combining the alchemy of the new country and the alchemy of the country, and its extraordinary thing is not here.

You must know that the alchemy of the new country does not completely rely on a small circle of circles, but a larger range of cycles, that is, the dragon veins in the mouth of the alchemists of the new country, so this special alchemy array is much more powerful than alchemy in a sense.

However, the refining array engraved on Scar's right arm is also flawed, or this refining array is saturated by this point, and no more things can be added to it.

Alchemy is composed of three steps: understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing, and Scar's alchemy array is to break down this step and stop the practice, so as to achieve the effect of destroying objects.

Moreover, there is no limit to the destruction of this object, which is something that no other alchemist can do, because a refining array only corresponds to one substance, which is already the consensus of alchemists in this world.

Of course, the prerequisite for destroying an object here is that Scar must understand the composition of the substance.

For Chen Anxia, if he masters this refining array, coupled with the Eye of Truth that can analyze all things, he will really master the greatest killing weapon.

Because of this, Chen Anxia was extremely attentive to this refining array, and put all his main energy on this refining array.

Central Hospital, Ward 125.

Bang!!

Edward angrily clenched his fists and slammed the tabletop vigorously, his mouth full of anger and said, "These guys are not human beings at all, and they actually use living people for experiments!" ”

Alphonse on the side did not say anything, his expression was very shaken, and Alphonse was also shocked by the research materials about the Philosopher's Stone described in the book, and his heart was full of incomprehension, sadness, and anger.

Alphonse had no idea that people could be so ruthless and cruel that they could use humans of the same race or living people for experiments.

There is also a hypothesis about the pain value in the book, in which the greater the pain value of the person, the greater the power of the philosopher's stone refined, and a series of research data is attached to it.

This was undoubtedly a very cruel blow to Alphons' young mind, and it also shocked Alphons's brain to a blank and unable to react for a while.

At this moment, a somewhat flirtatious voice sounded from outside the door of the ward, "Oh, oh, what is it that makes our famous Fullmetal Alchemist so angry. ”

As he spoke, he saw Lieutenant Colonel Hughes walk in, Edward ignored Lieutenant Colonel Hughes's ridicule, but was still immersed in his anger, and slowly indulged, "I said, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, can I trust you?" ”

Hughes didn't expect Edward to ask this, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he saw Edward's expression, his face gradually became serious and said, "You can completely trust me in matters that don't involve the bottom line." ”

Hearing this, Edward's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared straight at Hughes and said, "Then what if I want to continue to investigate the matter related to the Fifth Research Institute and the Philosopher's Stone?" ”

Seeing this, Hughes finally understood why Edward would ask the kind of question he had just asked, because both of these things were forbidden by President Bradley.

If Hughes told Bradley about this later, although he didn't know how Bradley would react, he would definitely be dissatisfied with Edward.

And now, Hughes also knows that whether he tells Bradley or not, Edward is determined to find out about it.

It seems that something must have irritated Edward deeply.

"But that's just right." Hughes said to himself.

In fact, one of the purposes of Hughes's visit today was to test Edward and see if he wanted to continue to track down the Fifth Research Institute and the Philosopher's Stone.

For this reason, Hughes also specially brought a message, thinking, only to see Hughes look at Edward and Alphonse and say, "I came today to bring a message to you." ”

"What's the news?" Edward wondered.

Hughes's face gradually became solemn when he heard this, and said, "I went to investigate the list of personnel of the Fifth Research Institute in the past few days, and it turned out that except for the person in charge of the Fifth Research Institute who disappeared at that time, the other researchers were on the night of the explosion of the Fifth Research Institute... All dead. ”

"What!?" Edward and Alphonse's pupils shook violently when they heard this, this point in time was too coincidental, so coincidental that it had to make people wonder about something.

For example, whether it was the person behind the Fifth Research Institute, after knowing that the matter might be exposed, the killer in secret, Edward knew very well, with the character of the two mysterious people who appeared in the Fifth Research Institute that day, it was very likely.

After the shock, Edward thought of another question, and couldn't help but look at Hughes with some astonishment, "Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, you actually disobeyed the president's order and privately investigated the matter of the Fifth Research Institute, aren't you afraid that the president will be angry?" ”

When Hughes heard this, he said directly, "After knowing about the Philosopher's Stone, how can I still sit idly by, not only me, but Major Armstrong and Colonel Roy are secretly investigating this matter." ”

Seeing this, Edward and Alphonse couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded slightly.

Then Edward handed Hughes the information about the Philosopher's Stone that he and Alphons had cracked, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, take a look at this, the information about the Fifth Research Institute's research on the Philosopher's Stone." ”

Hughes took it curiously and looked at it, it was okay not to look at it, the more he looked at Hughes's face, the more ugly it became, it was really too appalling to record the content, and Hughes now understood why Edward was so angry just now.

After a rough look at it, he saw Hughes say to Edward, "I'll take this research back first, and I'll show it to Colonel Roy and them, and then we will discuss countermeasures together." ”

"Okay." Edward nodded in response.

On the other side, Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng followed Nina to Nina's house.

Nina's home is much larger than ordinary people's homes, and it has its own courtyard, after all, now Nina's father Xiu Tucker is now a national alchemist, and the annual subsidy is basically not used up.

However, in such an empty home, only Nina and Hugh Tucker will inevitably look a little empty and lifeless, fortunately Nina still has a lot of pressure to accompany her, otherwise I really don't know how Nina will grow up in this lifeless home.

And Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng also met Nina's father, Xiu Tucker, a middle-aged man with a thin body and glasses, who looked like a gentleman.

Xiu Tucker also learned about Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng from his daughter, and when he knew that Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng were travelers from Xinguo, he showed a hospitable host and invited Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng to have lunch together in his home.

At the dinner table, Xiu Tucker also got to know each other better through chatting with Zhang Wencheng, and Zhang Wencheng also had some intimacy with Xiu Tucker, a kind man.

And Xiu Tucker also knew that Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng were looking for Edward Elric, the alchemist of Fullmetal, and couldn't help but say, "I'll go and inquire about it for you, but it may take a few days, or how about you stay with me during this time?" ”

"Wouldn't that be too much of a hassle for you?" Zhang Wencheng was a little embarrassed.

Xiu Tucker smiled mildly when he heard this, glanced at Nina with some doting, and said, "It just so happens that I've been busy with work and don't have much time to accompany Nina, if Miss Zhang Mei is willing to come and play with Nina, it would be the best." ”

"Mmmm, I want to play with Sister Zhang Mei" Nina nodded her cute little head vigorously when she heard this, and looked at Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng with expectant eyes.

"Wangwang." Alexander seemed to know about this, and he responded to it.

Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and finally nodded and responded, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble." With a gentle smile on his face, Hugh Tucker smiled and waved his hand.

And where Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng didn't see it, they saw Xiu Tucker suddenly show a strange look when he looked at Zhang Mei, and the corners of his mouth were weirdly curled.
