Edward and Alphonse secretly came to a corner outside the Fifth Research Institute, and looking at the huge wall in front of him, Edward couldn't help but say, "This is it." ”

The Fifth Research Institute was surrounded by high walls, with only one main entrance, which was guarded by soldiers day and night.

As a result, Edward and Alphonste bypassed the main entrance and came to the high wall opposite the main entrance, preparing to sneak in from here.

Alphonse said solemnly, "Brother, we must be careful this time, if those two people are really here, it will be very dangerous, as soon as we encounter something wrong, we will run away as soon as possible." ”

"Ah, I know." Edward said in a deep voice, and as he spoke, he saw Edward put his hands together and slammed into the high wall in front of him, activating alchemy.

The dazzling blue electric light flashed in the dark night, and it was exceptionally clear, but fortunately, the surrounding area had been listed as a forbidden area, and the Fifth Research Institute had been abandoned, so there was no need to worry about this refining reaction being seen.

I saw that the high wall in front of me gradually changed under the blue electric light, and after a while, a stone gate with a strange shape and a demon head carved on the door appeared in front of Edward and Alphonse.

Without hesitation, Edward and Alphonse pushed open the stone gate and walked in.

Edward and Alphonse didn't notice it at all, and on the tall building not far away, there were three figures watching all this.

The three were Roy, Hughes, and Lisa.

"As I expected, this kid from Ganglian really didn't listen to persuasion, and he would definitely sneak in." Roy watched the scene from afar and spoke.

"Is it really good not to stop them?" Hughes couldn't help frowning slightly, "If it's really as Edward said, although it won't be life-threatening, it's very likely that it will be arrested by that mysterious organization." ”

Roy's face became solemn when he heard this, and he said, "Although there is danger, this is also the best way to lure out the enemies lurking in the shadows." ”

"Hughes, you should know that if what the steel forge said is true, then it is very likely that the country's top brass is researching the Philosopher's Stone, and this Fifth Research Institute is a pilot, and those with the serpent tattooed on the Ouroboros are likely to have a connection with it."

Hughes's face also became serious when he heard this, and said, "Ah, if all this is true, then it means that it is very likely that the person above is hiding a big secret." ”

Saying that, Hughes's face became a little calm and said, "Now that I think about it, Isaac's rebellion is also very suspicious, he was originally a soldier who was so loyal to the country, but he would suddenly mutiny, and Isaac's words don't seem to be untargeted." ”

"Ah, 'rotten military leaders', if what Isaac said is true, then who are these rotten people, and what secrets are they planning, this is very important." Roy replied with a very serious face.

Hughes also fell silent when he heard this, in fact, it was not only Isaac's matter, but there were also many doubts about the war in Ishvar back then, could there be any connection between this?

Lisa, on the side, was keeping an eye on the Fifth Research Institute with the scope on her sniper rifle, and would notify Roy of any situation as soon as possible.

If Edward and the others were really in danger, then Roy would be able to save them in the first place.

At this moment, inside the Fifth Research Institute, an empty field, that is, the central area of the Fifth Research Institute, suddenly sounded two voices.

"Number 66, it looks like a little bug has snuck in."

"yes, No. 48, what two idiots who don't know whether to live or die."

"No way, our mission is to kill anyone who trespasses, let's get to work."

"Yes, my body is a little rusty after not moving for a long time, I hope I can have a little fun cutting today, the feeling of cutting people, it's really good."

"You're such a pervert, number 66."

"No. 48, you don't seem qualified to talk about me."

As he spoke, the two figures hidden in the darkness seemed to move, and the sound of metal colliding was accompanied by heavy footsteps, which seemed very strange in this open place, making people feel creepy.

Edward and Alphonse didn't know all this, and were sneaking into the Fifth Research Institute from the path they had made with alchemy.

"It should be here." Edward looked at the building in front of him, said with a solemn face, and used alchemy to create a stone door on the wall in front of him.

Seeing this, Alphonse didn't hesitate to push open the door and walked in.

At this moment, a flash of sword flashed.

Qiang!!

The sound of gold and iron rang out abruptly, accompanied by sparks flying everywhere.

This is not over, I saw a fat figure suddenly appear, holding a machete and continuing to attack Alphonse, with a crazy smile in his mouth, "Hahaha, this big man must be very cool to chop!" ”

"Al!!" Seeing this, Edward suddenly roared, clasped his hands together, and immediately launched alchemy.

In a burst of blue lightning, Edward suddenly reached out and wiped his mechanical right arm, and in just a few seconds, he saw the excess metal on the mechanical right arm decompose and reconstruct into a metal short blade, embedded in the back of his hand.

Just as Edward was about to step forward to help Alphonse, another figure suddenly sounded, "Huh, is it an alchemist?" Just let me see what you're capable of. ”

As he spoke, another tall figure appeared in front of Edward like a ghost, holding a katana and slashing directly at Edward.

Seeing this, Edward's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body instinctively crouched down, and at the same time used the metal short blade on his right hand to meet the attack.

Boom!

There was another clash of gold and iron, accompanied by sparks.

At this time, Edward also saw these two figures clearly, and the battle with Alphonse was a mysterious man wearing armor and a helmet with a skeletal face.

As for the one who fought with him, he was also a mysterious man wearing samurai armor with green as the main tone, and his whole body was surrounded by armor.

"Who the hell are you? Why attack us? Edward dodged the green samurai armor again, and asked loudly.

"I'm sorry, but all I can tell you is my name is 66, and our mission is to kill anyone who breaks into here, so please die here." Opening 66.

As he spoke, he saw No. 66 once again rush towards Edward like a ghost, and the katana in his hand quickly slashed sharply, cutting through the air with a silver line, as if the space had been cut off.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Swords clashed, gold and iron resonated, Edward used his metal short blade to catch No. 66's slash, and at the same time found the right time, kicked his leg violently, brought a gust of wind, kicked No. 66 in the stomach, and brought a loud bang, causing No. 66 to retreat.

After hearing this somewhat unusual sound, I saw Edward's face change suddenly, and he looked at No. 66 in disbelief and asked, "Hey, hey, don't tell me, your body is hollow." ”

At this moment, I saw Alphonse suddenly shout, "No. 48, you are the same as me?" ”

Alphonse's words drew everyone's attention, and Edward saw that No. 48's head had been knocked away by Alphonse's punch, and looking down from the gap, his body was actually hollow.

Seeing this, Edward's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and then No. 66 also retreated, picked up No. 48's head and threw it to No. 48, and at the same time looked at Alphonse with some confusion and asked, "Little ghost, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Alphonse didn't speak, but silently reached out and took off his helmet, and this time No. 48 and No. 66 also saw that inside Alphons's huge armor, it was also hollow.

"Eh, it turns out that you are also a death row prisoner, just like us, I said it earlier." At this point, Number 48 put his head back on his neck and spoke.

"I'm not a criminal!!" Alphonse was furious.

Edward reacted at this time, and couldn't help but ask with a vigilant face, "So, you were all death row prisoners before you died, and your souls were fixed on armor after death, and you served as guards here?" ”

"Little ghost, what you said is basically right, but a little wrong." At this time, No. 66 spoke, "We are not fixed to the armor after we die, but when we are alive, the soul is forcibly pulled out and fixed to this armor. ”

"What!?" Edward and Alphonse's pupils shook violently when they heard this.

What a cruel thing it must be to pull out a man's soul alive and fix it on this cold armor.

At this moment, Number 66 attacked Edward again, and said in a loud voice, "Little imp, don't be distracted in battle, hasn't anyone taught you?" ”

But Edward didn't have the slightest flustered emotion, but looked at No. 66, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Don't you know that your opponents are two alchemists?" ”

"Two? Don't? Hearing this, No. 66's expression changed greatly, and his gaze involuntarily looked at Alphonse on the side.

However, No. 66 found that Alphonse was staring at No. 48, on alert, and had no intention of launching alchemy, and this scene also let No. 66 know that he had been fooled.

But now it was too late to react, and I saw that Edward had already stepped forward quickly, and directly cut off No. 66's helmet with the short blade in his hand.

"It's despicable." After No. 66's helmet fell to the ground, he couldn't help but speak.

"There's nothing mean or despicable in battle, and now I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, so you can answer them all honestly." Edward stepped forward, picked up No. 66's helmet, and spoke.

"Is the Philosopher's Stone what you want to know?" Number 66 asked rhetorically.

"Sure enough, this place has something to do with the Philosopher's Stone." Edward unconsciously smiled when he heard this, and said, "Tell me everything you know, including who asked you to guard here." ”

"Little ghost, do you think I'm just going to lose like that?" Seeing this, No. 66 did not panic in the slightest, but asked rhetorically.

As No. 66 spoke, a huge shadow shrouded Edward, and Alphonse also noticed something unusual, and couldn't help shouting, "Brother, be careful!!" ”

This shout seemed to alarm some existence, but Rust, who had come to the Fifth Research Institute at some point, couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this figure, and said, "Is this voice?" ”

There was also a young and cute boy who was not tall and had long black hair on the side, and grinned unconsciously when he heard this, "Looks like there are really bugs running in, Rust, let's go in quickly." ”

"Hmm." Luster nodded, and followed the boy, Envi, who represents jealousy among androids, into the Fifth Research Institute.

At this moment, Lisa, who had been observing outside, seemed to have discovered something, and couldn't help but say, "Colonel, it is suspected that the target person appeared and walked out of the main building of the Fifth Research Institute." ”

Roy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "It's finally here, it's not in vain, we've waited so long, Hughes, let's go." ”

"Okay." Hughes nodded solemnly, and then followed Roy to the Fifth Research Institute.

Not only the Fifth Research Institute, but at this moment, beside a river near the Fifth Research Institute in Central City, there are two figures walking one after the other.

I saw an old man in front of me, who was short and fat, dressed in formal clothes, and had a metal staff on one leg, suddenly turned his head to look at the figure behind him and asked, "Who are you?" Why have you been with me for so long. ”

Hearing this, the figure behind him couldn't help but slowly take off his hood, revealing his face.

I saw that he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and his brown skin face had a very conspicuous X-shaped scar, and he was looking at the old man, and said in a cold voice, "I, I am the messenger who brings death." ”

"National Alchemist, Julio Comanche, the Alchemist of Silver, I want this life of yours!!"
