Darkness on Light

第2話 ignorant kid

Tear!

　　The alchemy began, and the light shone.

　　Yi'erlansi frowned. After the alchemy was over, a very beautiful hexagonal crystal appeared in the alchemy array. Ai Sa was sweating and panting. What a genius... If there was a good teacher to teach her, this girl would definitely become an amazing alchemist. It's a pity that I can't always be here with her.

　　"Teacher, look." Ai Sa picked up the crystal and said to Yi'erlansi very happily.

　　Yierlansi hugged Aisa tightly, "You are amazing! You are the teacher's pride!" She suddenly found that she was reluctant to leave this eccentric little girl. "Teacher..." "Yes." "Are you leaving?" Yierlansi's body froze. "Why do you think so?" Yierlansi let go of Aisa and put her hands on his shoulders, trying to stay calm.

　　"I can feel it." Aisa stared at Yierlansi's eyes closely. "Teacher, can you not leave?" "

　　Sorry, the teacher has something to do." Yierlansi stood up, afraid that she would not be able to help but agree when she saw Aisa's eyes. She took out a small notebook from her bag and handed it to Aisa. "This is some of my alchemy experience, for you."

　　Aisa did not take the book, but just stood there. "Yilan..." Wenli opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. The atmosphere in the room was silent and suppressed for a while. After a long time, Aisa raised her head, her eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes. "Then, teacher, can you come and see me more often in the future?" she begged.

　　"Of course, I will come and see you more often in the future." Yierlansi reached out and stroked Aisa's hair.

　　"Teacher, this is for you." Aisa handed the hexagonal crystal in his hand to Yierlansi. "You must study hard in the future!" Yierlansi took the crystal, "and remember to work hard. Using alchemy also consumes a lot of physical strength."

　　"Yes, I remember." Aisa's tears flowed down. Yierlansi wiped away her apprentice's tears with her hand, "Don't cry, you have to be stronger." She said, "Your father works so hard every day just to make your life better. In return, you must also work hard to learn alchemy so that your father doesn't have to work so hard!"

　　"Yes!" Aisa couldn't speak anymore, but just nodded.

　　"Goodbye. My dear apprentice!" Yierlansi kissed Aisa's forehead lightly, and then took Wen Li away from Aisa's home.

　　"Is this okay?" Wen Li asked after arriving on the street. "The master leads you to the door, but it's up to you to practice." Yi'erlansi looked at the blue sky and said, "I brought her into the world of alchemy. It's up to her to decide how far she can go in the future. If she continues like this, she will leave too many traces of me."

　　"Isn't that good?" Wen Li said, "You can live a happy life."

　　"That's impossible." Yi'erlansi answered very firmly, "You can't live a peaceful life with someone like me." Because... "Why?" Wen Li asked very curiously. "You will know later." Yi'erlansi quickened her pace, "Let's go to the hotel quickly." "

　　Hey! Wait for me!" Wen Li saw that Yi'erlansi didn't want to mention it anymore, so she didn't say anything, but hurriedly followed.

　　After taking Wen Li to a very luxurious hotel, Yi'erlansi went directly to the counter. "Open the best double room." Hehe, although I didn't have the opportunity to open a room in my previous life, I still got the opportunity. Wen Li, you can't escape from my palm!

　　"Hey, let's go to a cheaper hotel. Here..." Wen Li pulled Yi Er Lan Si from behind and whispered. "It doesn't matter. I'm not poorer than your Edward!" If I have no money, I will secretly refine gold. Anyway, no one will know, hehe!

　　"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Wen Li was embarrassed.

　　"Miss, the most luxurious room is 1,200 yuan per day." The waiter behind the counter was obviously very well-mannered and completely ignored Wen Li's whisper. (I don't know the prices in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, so I wrote it casually. Just ignore it.)

　　"Here, pay for three days first." Yi Er Lan Si quickly took out a stack of banknotes from her bag.

　　"Here is your key." The waiter handed Yi Er Lan Si a key. Then another waiter was sent to take the two girls to the room.

　　"That... Yi Lan, the room here is too expensive. Why did you book it for three days at once?" Wen Li came to such a luxurious hotel for the first time, and the violent girl in her daily life was a little scared at this time.

　　"It's okay!" Yi'erlansi didn't care about it. When traveling with her master, she was the one who found a place to stay when she arrived at her destination. With the alchemist's unparalleled ability to make money, she usually stayed in the best hotels, so she was already familiar with these things.

　　"Your room has arrived. Would you like to order dinner?" This waiter is quite good at doing business.

　　"Well, some snacks and a bottle of red wine." Yi'erlansi took out a few bills again and handed them to the waiter, then took out a bill and said to the waiter, "This is your tip."

　　The waiter seemed to be accustomed to this, and took the tip and nodded and walked away. "Okay, let's go in!" Yi'erlansi opened the door and pulled Wen Li in. Then, her eyes lit up because she saw two large beds.

　　"Wow! Great!" Yi'erlansi threw herself on the bed and rolled around. "This 1,200 yuan a day is really not worth spending!"

　　"You are really wasteful." Wen Li put all her bags on the bed in dissatisfaction, "You should know that I have to get a big job to make so much money." "You just don't know how to enjoy life!" Yierlan Si was still rolling around on the bed, "What is the money for? It's just to spend, saving it won't make money."

　　"Oh, forget it." Wen Li knew that it was useless to talk to this guy, so she stood up and took off her coat, "I'm going to take a shower!" After saying that, she walked into the bathroom. "Wait a minute!" Yierlan Si did a somersault on the bed and jumped up directly.

　　Dingdangdang!

　　At this time, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that the waiter brought snacks and red wine. Yierlan Si used some tips to send the waiter away, and then put the snacks and red wine on the table. At this time, the sound of water splashing began to be heard in the bathroom. Wow! Yierlansi showed a smile of success, and she quickly took off her clothes and rushed into the bathroom.

　　Wow! So beautiful! Her long golden hair was wet and spread behind her back, and her fair and tender skin was stained with water drops. The most eye-catching thing was her firm breasts. Her flat belly and the hint of vanilla in the middle.

　　Yierlansi's eyes were already sparkling with stars. "I'm coming too!" Yierlansi pounced on her. So, Wen Li's suffering began.

　　"Wow! So smooth! So soft!"

　　"Ah! You slut! Don't touch me!"

　　"Wow! So fragrant! I'll touch it!"

　　"Wow! No! Not there!"

　　Wen Li blushed and fell into Yierlansi's arms after her important place was attacked. Seeing the blush on the beauty in his arms, he was moved and kissed her directly. "Hmm!" Wen Li moaned. He pried open the beauty's teeth and sucked out her tongue.

　　Feeling that her good days might not last long, Yierlansi indulged herself crazily, doing everything she dared not do at ordinary times. Seeing that the beauty in her arms was already a little out of breath, Yierlansi let go of Wen Li, whose lips were slightly swollen. "Yilan..." Wen Li looked at Yierlansi with blurry eyes. For some reason, she felt that Yierlansi was very charming at this moment.

　　"I'm sorry, Wen Li. Forgive me..."

Chapter 24, The President's Invitation

　　The next morning, Yierlansi got up early. Although he and Wen Li had been lingering for a long time, it still did not affect his rest. This guy always liked to sleep in, but he just coveted the feeling of lying in bed.

　　Wen Li was still sleeping sweetly in the bed. The two of them tossed and turned for a long time last night, and finally they rested after they were all sore and weak. Looking at the beautiful woman who was still sleeping sweetly, Yierlan Si's face showed a complicated expression. She was a little scared. After doing such a thing, she didn't know how to face Wen Li.

　　"Huh!" Take it one step at a time. Yierlan Si laughed at herself, then went to the front desk and asked the waiter to prepare a hearty breakfast. Then she returned to the room again.

　　"Wen Li..." When she returned to the room, she found that Wen Li was already dressed and sitting on the bed with her head down. Wen Li glanced at Yierlan Si, as if she thought of what happened last night, and a complicated expression flashed across her. In fact, when Yierlan Si got up, Wen Li had already woken up, but she didn't know how to face Yierlan Si at that time, so she continued to pretend to sleep. She didn't think that it was all Yierlan Si's fault last night. If she had resisted a little at that time, nothing would have happened. But at that time, I was intoxicated by that inexplicable feeling, which prompted the whole thing to happen.

　　After Yierlan Si went out, Wen Li quickly put on her clothes.

　　"Wen Li, I..." Yierlan Si opened her mouth again. Although both of them were wrong, if she hadn't started it, it wouldn't have happened. Wen Li forced herself to hide her complicated feelings, and then put on a smile, "What's wrong with you? I'm hungry!" Seeing Wen Li's forced smile, Yierlan Si felt pain in her heart. She knew that Wen Li didn't want to mention what happened last night, but she also knew that she and Wen Li would never be able to return to the tacit understanding they had before.

　　"I ordered breakfast, you wash up first, and after dinner, we'll go to Edward's place." Yierlan Si said, and then sat aside. The room was silent for a while. Maybe the two of them should separate for a while before they can heal their spiritual trauma.

　　After breakfast, the two of them prepared to go to Edward's place. "You go first." Yierlan Si said, "I'll go to the market to buy some fruit." "Then you must hurry up!" Wen Li nodded and left first.

　　On the surface, it seems that she has recovered! Yierlan Si smiled bitterly. She couldn't blame others. If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame herself. Forget it, don't think about it! Anyway, even if something happened between the two women, there would be no children. After arriving at the market, she bought some fruits and dried fruits such as apples and peanuts, and then rushed to the hospital. At this point, she had no choice but to face everything! After figuring everything out, she became very happy.

　　But when she arrived at the hospital, her mood, which had finally improved, became bad again because she saw Wen Li crying. "What's wrong?" Yierlan Si wiped Wen Li's tears with a handkerchief in confusion, but Wen Li said nothing. She turned her head and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Biss, Lieutenant Ross and Sergeant Bush. "It seems that the brothers are quarreling." Lieutenant Colonel Biss shrugged, seeming very helpless. "My brother said something strange about being artificially recreated. The words of an alchemist are really hard to understand."

　　"Didn't Edward tell Al?" Yi'erlansi was very surprised. She thought Edward had told Al everything about fixing souls, and she never thought that such a thing would happen. "Where are the two brothers?"

　　"It seems they are upstairs." Lieutenant Ross answered.

　　"Don't go." Feeling that Yi'erlansi wanted to go over, Wen Li pulled her. "I think they can solve it."

　　"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yi'erlansi smiled, "But don't cry so easily in the future. You're almost a clown!" She wiped the tears left on Wen Li's face with a handkerchief, "You are my most beloved sister, I don't want you to suffer any grievances." "You are only one year older than me," Wen Li smiled and broke the topic. She also heard the hidden meaning of Yi'erlansi, that is, we will always be sisters in the future, and there will be no other relationship. The mood seemed to relax a little.

　　"Well, we'd better go over and take a look. They must not fight." Yilansi was still a little worried. Wen Li also nodded, and the three of them, including Lieutenant Colonel Biss, all went to the door of the rooftop and secretly watched the brothers. The two brothers seemed to have really fought. They were lying on the ground just now, talking about something.

　　"Do you want me to pay for it?" Edward's forehead was bulging with veins.

　　"Mr. Bis, it seems that some things are better said!" Wen Li said to Lieutenant Colonel Bis, and then turned to Yi'erlansi, "right? Yilan." "Yes." Yi'erlansi smiled bitterly.

　　"You're right!" Lieutenant Colonel Bis saw his two brothers standing up and walking over, so he walked up to the rooftop.

　　"I was kicked by this guy and lost consciousness." Edward pointed at his graffiti and said to everyone. "The person who protects the soul... the important pillar... the person called Enbi..."

　　"This tattoo, and the formation of the Philosopher's Stone..."

　　"I know this tattoo. The Ouroboros is a symbol of alchemy itself, representing 'everything', 'perfection', 'yin and yang', and 'the endless cycle of life'." Yilansi spoke. "As alchemists, don't you know these?" She looked at the Elric brothers and Armstrong with strange eyes.

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　All three of them were speechless. "Well, it seems that there are too many mysteries in the experiment of the Philosopher's Stone." Lieutenant Colonel Bis said with his chin in his hand, "I will check it out from the military court."

　　"Then I will start with the researchers who used to work with Dr. Mark." Armstrong got rid of the shadow just now and picked up a document.

　　"Sorry, I disturbed you." At this time, a voice came.

　　"President Bright!" All five people in the room, except Yi'erlansi, had seen King Bright. All four of them were so nervous that they stood straight.

　　"Are you the president?" Yi'erlansi sat on a chair, crossed her legs and said, "A while ago, a soldier came to me and said he was sent by you. Is that true?" The other four people broke into cold sweats when they saw Yi'erlansi's look and attitude. If the other party wanted to, they could touch themselves at will. This girl was really bold. Biss winked at Yi'erlansi, but Yi'erlansi ignored him.

　　"If your name is Yierlansi#8226;Hoynent, then you are right." President Bright said with a smile, "I was really sorry to hear that you couldn't come last time."

　　"Really?" Yierlansi smiled, "I am really honored to make the head of a country feel regretful."

　　"Because you are a rare alchemist." President Bright didn't mind Yierlansi's rudeness at all, "I just want to invite you to join the ranks of national alchemists. I have thought of a second name for you, it's called 'Wind', how about it?"

　　"The name is good, I like it too." Yierlansi showed a regretful expression, although anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was perfunctory, "but I still like to be free, so I'm sorry to disappoint you."

　　"Don't be so busy refusing. Think about it first. If you agree, I can give you the certificate at any time, and you don't need to take the exam." Brett was not angry at Yilansi's refusal. After saying that, he turned to the four people who were still standing straight, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just here to visit Edward."

　　"Visiting me?" Edward was a little surprised. He was not an important figure in the central government, but he actually let the president come to visit him in person.

　　"What's wrong? Can't I come?" Brett pretended to be surprised, "Don't you like cantaloupe?"

　　"No way!?" Seeing the cantaloupe in the president's hand, Edward broke out in a sweat.

　　"Are you investigating some senior officials?" Brett changed the subject, "Edward, you and your brother are investigating the Philosopher's Stone?" As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the ward immediately became tense. "How did you know this?"

　　The four people all looked at President Brett very nervously.

　　"Hahaha, don't be so nervous!" Brett suddenly laughed, and then said casually, "I also know that there are some unstable factors in the military, but for your own safety, I order you now." His voice suddenly became louder, "You are not allowed to investigate these things, and you are not allowed to disclose these things to anyone! When you don't know who the other party is, you must treat everyone as an enemy!"

　　"However, when the time is right," Brett's tone slowed down, "I will ask you for help!"

　　"Yes!" The four people hurriedly agreed. "

　　Ms. Hoinent, don't you agree?" Seeing that Yierlan Si did not respond, Brett turned his spearhead to Yierlan Si. "Hey, agree quickly!" Lieutenant Colonel Biss approached Yierlan Si and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear.

　　"I don't think I said that!" Yierlan Si shrugged, "I don't want to care about those messy things. For me, knowing that I can live happily is enough." She seemed to say casually, "But..." Her voice became cold, "If someone interferes with me, I will not be polite." She looked at President Bright very boldly, "You know, I am not an ordinary person!"

　　The room became very silent for a while.

　　"Hahaha..." Bright broke the silence, "Miss Hoynent is really a joke."

　　"Sir, is the President here?" At this time, a voice came. "Ah, my annoying subordinate is here," Bright directly flipped through the window, "I ran away while working, I'm leaving first! Goodbye!" Riding on the windowsill, waved to everyone.

　　Yierlan Si's mouth was wiped with an inexplicable smile, a joke? I'm not kidding!

Chapter 25, Go to Tapris to learn

　　from others "Hey, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Wen Li pushed the door open and walked in. "The two people outside are standing straight." "Nothing, it's just that the head of this country came to visit Edward and gave him a cantaloupe. I don't know if the cantaloupe is effective in healing external injuries." Yilan Si sat on the chair and shrugged.

　　"I didn't expect you to be so generous." Wen Li shook the envelope in her hand, "Edward, I bought the ticket you asked me to buy."

　　"Oh, thank you." Edward was very happy to hear that he had bought the ticket.

　　"Where are you going?" Yilan Si asked curiously.

　　"Tapris." Wen Li opened the envelope and read. Al took out the national map very considerately and pointed it.

　　"Ah——!" A loud roar scared Yilan Si so much that she almost fell off the chair. "I say, Wen Li. What are you doing?" She said slowly. "Here, here! The station before Tapris," Wen Li ignored Yilan Si and rushed directly to the map, pushing Al, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, to the side. "This is Rush Village!" "Hey?" Yilan Si heard the name and felt very familiar.

　　"The holy land of mechanical armor technicians!" Wen Li showed a fanatical expression, "I want to go there so much!"

　　"I want to go! I want to go!..." Wen Li's eyes were twinkling with stars, and she kept muttering. "If you want to go to such a place, go alone!" Edward frowned and said. "Who will pay for the travel expenses!" Wen Li glared at Edward.

　　"Okay, okay, you really don't look like a gentleman at all!" Yilan Si stood up, "If Wen Li wants to go, I will pay for her travel expenses." "Okay, brother. If Wen Li wants to go, let her go." Al also said that this kind and gentle child is not good at rejecting others.

　　"Okay, okay." Edward agreed helplessly.

　　"Oh yeah!" Wen Li raised her hands happily and turned around twice, "I was going to go back to Lisable, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to call grandma!" After that, she happily opened the door and ran out. "

　　Full of vitality." Al held his chin and thought.

　　"Well, she can be a good wife, but she is much worse than the one in my family!" Lieutenant Colonel Bis put his hands on Edward's shoulders and said to this kid. "Why are you saying this to me!" Edward shouted.

　　"If not to you, who should I tell?" Yilansi said dissatisfiedly, "Are you still not satisfied with such an excellent girl?" He tapped Edward's forehead with his right index finger, "Or do you have a new love?"

　　"Who has a new love!?" Edward's wound burst again. So the room was in chaos again.

　　"Edward, when did you buy the ticket?" Yierlan Si asked after the room finally calmed down. "Yes, it's for this afternoon." Edward replied. "What!?" Yierlan Si yelled, "I still have two days of luxury rooms to stay in!" She approached Edward, "You have to compensate me! That's 1,200 yuan a day! My money!"

　　"What does that have to do with me!" The veins on Edward's forehead popped out again, and he was about to go berserk. "Brother..." "Al!!!" Al was about to say something when he was interrupted by Edward. Seeing Edward's terrifying eyes, Al cautiously stepped back a few steps and hid in the corner.

　　"Damn it! There's no way to get my deposit back." Yierlan Si said dejectedly, "But forget it." She picked up a piece of paper, wrote something quickly, then took out the key and went out. "Sister Rose." Yierlansi handed the note and the key to Rose, "I'm leaving soon, and I still haven't stayed at the Golden Hotel for two days. Anyway, there's no way I can get my deposit back. I'll just give it to you!"

　　"Ah? That very expensive hotel!" Lieutenant Rose was shocked and quickly declined, "How can I..." "Okay, Sister Rose, don't refuse. Anyway, the empty room is just sitting there anyway. How can we let them make money for nothing!" After saying that, she stuffed the transfer letter and the key into Lieutenant Rose's arms, and then ran into the room.

　　"Oh, right." After returning to the room, Yierlansi took out an amulet from her small bag and handed it to Lieutenant Colonel Bis. "Among these people, only you have the worst ability." There are several alchemy arrays on the amulet. "I made this, it is a trigger type. As long as you touch the alchemy array on the amulet, the alchemy array will be activated."

　　"You alchemists always make some messy things." Although Lieutenant Colonel Bis said so, he still took it. He still had to help Mastan ascend to the throne of the president, so he couldn't die.

　　"You have a very gentle wife and a very lovely daughter." Yierlansi said, "Even for them, you can't die!" Among the people who were secretly investigating here, only Bis was the weakest, so Yierlansi made such an amulet. Yierlansi did this because of Lieutenant Colonel Bis's incomparable love for his daughter. She had never experienced this feeling, and she really didn't want the little girl to lose this love that made her Wubi jealous.

　　"By the way, what are you doing in Tapris?" Armstrong asked curiously.

　　The Elric brothers immediately entered a shadow. "Woo, Master will definitely kill us!" Al sobbed. "I'm really scared! Brother." "I think so too! Al." Edward also said in an extremely miserable tone.

　　Yilan's eyes burst into a gleam. The master of the Elric brothers must be a very remarkable person to be able to make the arrogant Edward so scared. I must let this strong man tell me how to calm this arrogant kid. The

　　four people got on the train. "Bye, everyone!" Yilan waved to the Bis family, Armstrong, Lieutenant Ross and Sergeant Bush who were seeing them off. "Mr. Bis, don't forget to bring the amulet with you!"

　　"Okay, don't worry." Bis smiled and waved goodbye to the private.

　　The train started and took the four people away. "Okay, we will go." Lieutenant Colonel Bis said to everyone. "Yilan gave you an amulet?" Lieutenant Colonel Biss's wife, Crecia, asked casually. "Yes, that's it." Lieutenant Colonel Biss took out the round amulet from his collar. "I didn't expect she would be so nice to you." There was a hint of sourness in his words.

　　"Things are not what you think!" Lieutenant Colonel Biss immediately understood why his wife asked this. "Although I am indeed very charming, I only have you and Alicia in my eyes." He shook the amulet in his hand. "It seems to be an alchemy array. It seems that as long as my hand touches it, I can protect myself." "Okay, as long as you can be safe." Crecia smiled. She was not the kind of jealous woman, so she was just talking.

　　"Why are you going to the master's house?" On the train, Winry asked the Elric brothers.

　　"Two reasons," Edward stretched out two fingers, "One of them," he shook one of his fingers, "We always lose to our opponents recently. In short, we want to become stronger." "Is it because we lost the fight?" Winry said. "Are you out of your mind?" "You're the jerk, the problem is not as simple as you think!" Edward's eyes twitched several times. "How should I put it, it's not just about everyone, but also some things inside." "That's right." Al also said, "In short, we have to become stronger."

　　"If it's a fight, you can find me!" Yi'erlan Si said with a smile on her face, "I promise that I will make you stronger in this aspect, but I can't do anything about the inner things." She stretched her waist cutely, "Without a certain level of enlightenment, the inner things will not become stronger."

　　"Are you really that powerful?" Wen Li expressed doubt about Yi'erlan Si's words.

　　"What's that expression on your face?" Seeing that Wen Li didn't believe her, Yi'erlan Si showed a sad expression like a woman in the boudoir, "I have been with my master for ten years, and I have been the one to fight every time. I have a lot of experience in fighting." She glanced at Edward and Al with contempt, "If I get serious, the two of them together won't cause me any harm!"

　　"Really?" Wen Li was still skeptical and looked at Edward and Al for confirmation. Edward snorted and said nothing. After losing that fight, he was very unwilling, but he lost, and he was not afraid to admit it. "Yes, Sister Yilan is really powerful." Al saw that Edward was silent and answered carefully.

　　"It's hard to imagine that your thin arms can have such great power." Wen Li heard Al's words and barely believed it. Indeed, if you don't see it with your own eyes, no matter what, there is no way to imagine that the slender Yilan Si has such strong strength. "Well, what's the second reason?" "The

　　second reason is that I want to ask the master about the human body refining and the information about the Philosopher's Stone." Edward put his elbow on the windowsill and supported his chin with his hand. "When Al and I studied there, she never taught us these."

　　"No matter what the result is, I will ask!" Edward said firmly, "For this, I am ready to be killed by the master, I must ask..."

　　"Woo, Al, our life is so short!" "At least let me have a girlfriend before I die, brother..."

　　Seeing the brothers panicking, Yilansi sneered. "Your master is really interesting. He actually scared you so much." She put away her alchemy notes. "No normal master would teach his apprentices how to make human body and the Philosopher's Stone. So I think your master didn't teach you before, and I'm afraid he won't teach you this time." She looked at Edward, "Didn't you understand the information I gave you?" "I

　　read it, but I still need information on this aspect, the more detailed the better!" Edward replied, "I must restore Al and me to our original bodies!"

　　"Alas, you guys." Yilansi looked at the brothers helplessly, "In fact, if you want to take back your bodies, you have to open the door of truth again." She pointed at Edward, "And even if you have the Philosopher's Stone, you can only restore your own body."

　　"I must restore Al's body first!" Edward said hurriedly.

　　"This is not something you can decide by your own will." Yierlan Si shrugged. "Even if you can find Al's body in the Gate of Truth, you can't take it back, because Al's soul is here." She tapped Al's armor with her finger. "Also, the premise for you to get the body back..." She paused, Edward and Al all looked at her nervously, and even Winry looked at Yierlan Si nervously, "That is, you have enough things to exchange with the bastard 'World', 'Truth', 'One', 'All'!"

Chapter 26, The Night Rush

　　"Okay, you three." Winry shouted, interrupting the three people's conversation, and took out a box from her backpack. "What is this?" Edward asked curiously.

　　"Mrs. Biss gave it to me. It's an apple pie for us to eat on the road." Winry replied.

　　"Wow, it looks delicious!" Yilansi's eyes lit up, and she sniffed a corner of it intoxicatedly. "I didn't expect that the same apple pie was made so delicious by Crecia!"

　　"When I learn it, I will make it for you!" Wen Li said with a smile. "The Bis family is really a very good family."

　　"Yes, although Mr. Bis always says he is very busy, he still often comes to see my brother." Al also said. "Next time I go to the central government, I must thank him." Edward answered while eating apple pie.

　　"Hello, this is the Eastern Command!" A very pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone, but Bis was not in the mood to listen. "Hurry up and connect me to Colonel Mustang!" "Sorry, we can't just answer calls from outside." The operator was still very professional.

　　"I am Lieutenant Colonel Bis from the central government!" Bis said hurriedly. Although the wound on his body was very painful, the truth of the matter was more important.

　　"Please report the password." The operator did not relax at all. "What a trouble!" Lieutenant Colonel Bis shouted anxiously, "'Hunger', 'Poverty', 'Lust', 'Ignorance'..." "Your password has been confirmed, please wait." "Hurry up and connect, otherwise the military will be in danger!" Lieutenant Colonel Bis was extremely anxious at this time.

　　"Lieutenant Colonel, put down the phone in your hand!" At this time, a cold voice came, and it was very familiar.

　　"Lieutenant Ross?" Bis saw the female officer in military uniform pointing a pistol at him, and he was stunned for a moment, "No, you are not, who are you?" With his back to the other party, his right hand quietly took out a throwing knife.

　　"Why am I not Lieutenant Ross?" The other party asked in confusion, "Didn't we meet in the hospital this morning?"

　　"No, you are not!" Bis had already grasped the throwing knife in his hand. "Lieutenant Ross has a mole under his left eye!"

　　"Really?" Garros touched his left eye with his left hand, and a mole immediately emerged. "Is this all right?"

　　"I can't die here!" Lieutenant Colonel Bis turned around quickly, and was about to throw the knife in his right hand, but the person standing in front of him looked exactly like his wife. "You can't do that to your own wife, can you?" The other party smiled and said to Bis.

　　Bang!

　　On the train, Yilan Si, who was eating, suddenly froze and the apple pie in her hand fell to the ground. "What's wrong?" Wen Li asked curiously. But Yilan Si didn't say anything, just put her hands together and closed her eyes.

　　Bang!

　　Yilan Si suddenly stood up, which scared Al who was standing beside her. He quickly dodged and ended up bumping into the carriage. "What's wrong with you?" Wen Li asked again. Edward and Al also looked at her with strange eyes. "You guys go to Tapris first." She put the small bag on her back, "I want to go back to the center first!"

　　"What?" Wen Li was surprised. "Now? The train hasn't stopped yet!"

　　"No need!" Yilan Si opened the window and rushed out directly from the window. The speed was so fast that the three people had no reaction. "Hey!" Wen Li was shocked. Edward and Al were also scared and quickly leaned out to check. Seeing Yilan Si running away without any injury, they were relieved.

　　"What happened?" Wen Li said with some doubts, and she couldn't let it go.

　　"She is very strong, I think she will be fine." Edward closed the window. "But Sister Yilan is really amazing. She jumped off the fast train and nothing happened."

　　The trace of soul in the amulet left on Bis was violently shaken. Bis must have been in danger! Although Yilan Si knew that it would be useless to rush now, if she didn't go, she would never forgive herself.

　　I clearly gave you the alchemical amulet! Why don't you use it! Why let your daughter lose the precious father's love!

　　Even if you run hard, it's still too slow. At this time, the train has been more than 300 kilometers away from the central station, and it will be more than ten kilometers away without going to the next station. Moreover, the trains in this world are not as fast as those in the original world. They use steam engines as power, and the fastest speed is only 100 kilometers per hour. Moreover, it is impossible for a passenger car to drive so fast. The speed is only 60 kilometers per hour at best.

　　It's too slow!

　　Gritting his teeth, it doesn't matter if someone sees it! Yierlan Si jumped up, clasped his hands together, and pressed them on his legs. After a flash of alchemical light, Yierlan Si's legs turned into the legs of a gazelle, and his feet turned into hooves.

　　Bang!

　　After landing, he quickly jumped up again, but this time he jumped forward. This jump was more than 30 meters, and after landing, he jumped again, and then jumped again, and more than 30 meters again.

　　Faster! I want faster! Yierlan Si kept muttering.

　　The heavy atmosphere, almost everyone present was sad about the death of Lieutenant Colonel Bis, but as a soldier, no one shed tears. Now all we have to do is to inherit Lieutenant Colonel Bis's legacy. Although many people don't know what it is, it does not prevent them from respecting Biss, a man of noble character.

　　"Mom, why did you bury Dad?" Alicia was only three years old, and she had no idea that her dearest father had left her. "Why did those uncles bury Dad?" "Alicia..." Lieutenant Colonel Biss's wife could no longer speak. She looked at her daughter sadly, and the coffin that was gradually buried in the soil.

　　"Why? Dad said he still had a lot of work to do." Alicia hugged Crecia's legs and kept asking, "Then Dad would not be able to work! I don't want it!" The innocent voice of the child broke everyone's heart.

　　The people in the cemetery gradually dispersed, leaving Mastan alone. "After he died in the line of duty, he was promoted two ranks and became Brigadier General Biss." Roy Mastan looked at the tombstone silently and said quietly, "Didn't you say you would help me? Why did you die before me? You bastard!"

　　"Colonel!" Lieutenant Hawke came over silently, "It's getting cold, aren't you going back?"

　　"Yes," Mastan answered calmly, "Lieutenant," he said to Hawke, "He was a person who didn't like alchemy. Now, what comes to my mind is the figure of a person who wants to complete the human body alchemy even if he has to risk his life." He sighed softly, "Now I understand why that child is so desperate to revive their mother."

　　"Are you okay?" Hawke saw Mastan like this for the first time and was a little worried.

　　"I'm fine." Mastan put on his police hat, "Oh, it's raining..."

　　"Where is it raining?" Hawke was a little confused, it was obviously a sunny day.

　　"No, it's raining..." Mastan said stubbornly, tears quietly flowing from his eyes.

　　"Yes, let's go back." Huo Keai also felt very sad, "It's very cold here."

　　Sizzle!

　　The sound of footsteps came, Mastan and Huo Keai turned around, only to find Yilansi panting, pale, sweating, and shaking all over. "Yilan?" Huo Keai asked curiously. "Is Lieutenant Colonel Bis dead?" Yilansi's face was very pale and her voice was very hoarse.

　　"Yes." Huo Keai said softly.

　　Yilansi walked to the tombstone of Lieutenant Colonel Bis with difficulty. She looked at the silly look of Lieutenant Colonel Bis in the photo on the tombstone and bit her lips tightly. "Everyone says that good people don't live long, and evil people will leave a thousand years. Why don't you, a evil person, leave a thousand years?" She hated why her cold-blooded father could live so healthily and so long, why such a good person is so short-lived! ? Why!

　　"How did you become like this?" Huo Keai supported the shaky Yilansi from behind.

　　"I got off the train to Tapris." Yilan Si said quietly, her whole body was shaking. She had been running all night and her physical strength was seriously overdrawn. It was a miracle that she could stand here. "The amulet I gave to Lieutenant Colonel Biss has a trace of my soul. I felt that Lieutenant Colonel Biss was in danger, so I came back quickly..." But I was late.

　　"Okay, don't be too sad." Hawke hugged Yilan Si in his arms.

　　"Damn..." Too much sadness and extreme physical exhaustion made Yilan Si lose consciousness. "Yilan! Yilan!" Feeling the person in his arms fall down, he hurriedly grabbed her, and only then did he realize that she had fainted.

　　"Nothing, just seriously overdrawn." Mastan came over and said after a brief look. "She rushed over from the train to Tapris. It's really hard for her..." The train to Tapris should have left yesterday afternoon. How did she come back so far away from the central area? Seeing Yierlansi's exhausted look, Mustang suddenly had an idea in his mind. Could it be that she ran here? If this is really the case, then this girl is really terrible!

　　"Colonel, let's go back first." Lieutenant Hawke helped Yierlansi, who was completely unconscious.

　　"Okay." Mustang nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without leaving a trace, and helped to help Yierlansi up.

　　He took Yierlansi back to the army hotel and sent a guard to watch her. Then Mustang and Hawke left in a hurry. "Lieutenant, go find Major Armstrong." Mustang returned to his usual efficiency. "Okay." Lieutenant Hawke was slightly relieved to see that Mustang had returned to normal.

　　In a dark corner in the center, there seemed to be many people hiding in the shadows. "Enbi, you completed your mission quite well this time." A middle-aged man said. "Oh, I didn't expect that you, uncle, would actually praise people?" This guy was sloppy.

　　"Lars, have you found out who gave the amulet to that human?" Suddenly an old voice came over.

　　"Yes, father." The middle-aged man answered, "It's the woman we noticed who might become another human pillar. She had left with the Fullmetal Alchemist yesterday, but I don't know why she came back this morning." "Is that so

　　?" The old voice thought for a moment, "Enbi, go and catch her. Although Laster and Granit are not in the center now, I think you should have no problem, right?"

　　"I will definitely catch her back." Enbi said and walked away.

Chapter 27, Attack of the Man-Made Man

　　In the military hotel, Yierlansi was sleeping, using alchemy to refine her legs into the most suitable state for running. After running all night, she almost exhausted her physical strength.

　　Ka La.

　　The window was pushed open, and a figure suddenly appeared. "I didn't expect it was just a kid like Gang Xiaodouding." The visitor said with great contempt. "Are you talking about me?" A slightly hoarse but pleasant voice came from beside Enbi.

　　"What?" Enbi was shocked. Wasn't there someone on the bed? How could it be! Turning his head, he was greeted by a fist. "Wow!" Enbi was knocked down from the fourth floor. Plop! If it was an ordinary person, he would have fallen to death. But Enbi's physical fitness was completely fine, and he jumped up directly from the ground. "Damn it! You

　　hit my cute face!" Enbi said with a grim face.

　　Upstairs, Yierlan Si looked at Enbi downstairs breathlessly. If it weren't for the alertness developed from traveling for many years, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble long ago! This guy is probably not a guy that can be killed in a short time! And what I lack most now is physical strength. If this goes on... I'm afraid I'd better run away quickly! If that bastard colonel was here now, it would be great.

　　A-choo! Mastan, who was dating a girl somewhere, suddenly sneezed. Is there another beautiful girl thinking about me?

　　Run away! Thinking of this, Yierlan Si quickly opened the door. When she saw the soldier standing guard at the door, a big # appeared on her forehead. This bastard was actually sleeping! She kicked the guy to wake him up. "Run quickly if you don't want to die!" "What!?" The soldier didn't understand.

　　"Damn it!" Enbi shouted angrily, then turned into an elephant, stepped hard on the ground, and the ground in front of him cracked, blocking the raging wind.

　　Crash! A huge claw broke through the wall, and the soldier was torn to pieces like a piece of paper. Damn it! Yierlan Si picked up the pistol from the dead soldier, and then rolled on the spot in the corridor, dodging the attack of a werewolf, and while rolling, she aimed at the other party and shot.

　　"I didn't expect you to be so good!" The werewolf spoke. This guy was Enbi. His forehead was shot with a hole by Yierlansi, but he was still safe and sound.

　　Yierlansi held a pistol and looked at Enbi in surprise. "Can't be killed?" She said in surprise, then jumped back directly, shot directly with the pistol in her hand, breaking Enbi's two legs, at least to delay the opponent's attack. She quickly stepped back two steps and reached the window sill on the side of the corridor. Seeing that Enbi's legs had regenerated, Yierlansi did not hesitate, directly broke through the glass, and jumped from the fourth floor with a back jump.

　　"Oh no, it will be troublesome if she falls to death!" Enbi was shocked and hurriedly chased after him. He leaned on the windowsill and looked down.

　　Yierlansi also knew that if she jumped from here, she would probably be injured in her current state, but there was no other way now. Refined her legs again to reduce the impact. Crack! The left leg twisted, as if the bone was broken. The pain made Yierlansi's eyes go dark. If it was normal, it would be better, but now her spirit and physical strength are at the lowest ebb, this is really a pain. Looking at the pistol in her hand, there are still a few bullets, which can barely delay.

　　"What happened?" "What's wrong?" "There are gunshots!"

　　The gunshots and the sound of the walls and glass breaking woke up all the soldiers in the hotel. Enbi looked at the turbulent crowd, "Damn, these guys in the way." There is no way, let's retreat first! For the time being, we can't let others know the existence of our group. Thinking of this, Enbi turned into a cat and disappeared quickly.

　　"Hiss..." Damn guy, why did he suddenly attack me? Yierlansi was thinking wildly, trying her best not to faint, but the effect was not good, and the eyes became darker and darker. Suddenly, there was a strong wind behind her, oh no! Yierlansi didn't have time to dodge, and she was hit on the back of her head.

　　"Really, if I hadn't come back in time, Enbi's mission would have failed." At the moment of coma, Yierlan Si heard a woman's voice.

　　My body was cold and stiff, and I didn't feel any pain. Damn it! If I had been more careful, it would have been fine. What should I do? Should I do that? ... No, how could I have such an idea? But if I don't, my body might not be able to hold on any longer. What should I do?

　　"Huh? You actually came here by yourself!" A mocking voice suddenly came.

　　Suddenly feeling her own body, Yierlan Si opened her eyes. "It's you!?" She didn't expect to run into this guy again. "You bastard!" "Ah, don't say that." The other party said with a smile, "I am following your wishes to make an equal exchange! Not charging any more fees is already very generous."

　　"I don't think you are tolerant!" Yierlan Si gritted her teeth and said, "Truth!" "Oh, don't be so distant!" The other party still said this in a mocking tone, "Didn't I say it? I can also say it's you." "Then give me my soul back!" Yierlan Si said angrily.

　　"That won't work. That's the price you paid for coming here." Truth shrugged and pointed to the Gate of Truth on the side and said, "Didn't you see a lot from inside? So much that you can't believe it, the secrets of this world, the secrets of life, and the secrets of the soul!"

　　"I didn't ask to see these!" Yierlan Si said angrily, "I just want to restore my original body!" "But you didn't use your own body, but someone else's. You only have a soul." Truth said with a smile, "But I didn't expect that someone would exchange the origin of the soul with you to make your dream come true." Although it didn't succeed after all.

　　"Hmph!" Yierlan Si snorted coldly, knowing that it was useless to say these things now. "What did you call me to do this time?"

　　"I called you to come?" Zhenli smiled and shook his head, "No, it's not me who called you, but you called me."

　　"I didn't perform the human soul refining!" Yierlan Si replied.

　　"Really?" Zhenli ignored Yierlan Si's words, "But as far as I know, your current situation is not very good. You are exhausted, seriously injured, and captured. Oh, it's terrible!" "What do

　　you want!?" Yierlan Si gritted his teeth and said. "You will know later." Zhenli waved his hand and opened the door of truth, "This is my advance payment to you!" With a wave of his hand, countless hands stretched out from inside and pulled Yierlan Si in at once.

　　"Really, Enbi." The woman complained, "You are too careless. If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have let this guy run away, right?" "Yeah, yeah." Granit on the side shouted and nodded with his finger. "Okay! Stop showing off there!" Enbi carried Yilansi dissatisfiedly, "I can do it even without you! Aunt Rast. But father is really a fool. He asked us to catch this guy just because of a talisman!"

　　"Father's mind is not something we can guess. We just need to follow orders." Rast shrugged, "But I didn't expect that our target would be her?"

　　"Have you seen her?" Enbi turned his head and asked. "I saw her when I was tracking Steel Little Bean. She is a very sharp person. Didn't you suffer any loss when you went there?"

　　"Will you die if you shut up for a while?" Enbi was extremely anxious when the wound was touched. Damn, he touched his face. If it wasn't for father's order, I would definitely kill her!

　　Bang!

　　The two hands of the person on his back suddenly came together, and a beam of refined light suddenly shone. All three androids were startled. "Wow!" Enbi was instantly torn into two pieces. The refined light shone again, and Enbi began to recover.

　　"Huhu, huhu, really, thank you for not killing me." Yierlansi's hands also turned into very sharp claws, "You let me rest for a while, but I think you will regret it!" Last's fingers suddenly stretched out and stabbed like a spear. Yierlansi dodged to the side, and after a slight deviation, he was already next to Last. With a wave of his right claw, Last was cut in half.

　　"Last!" Granit on the side screamed.

　　"Damn it! I must kill you!" Enbi on the side was so angry that he didn't want to care about his father's orders, and rushed over directly, wanting to cut Yierlansi into pieces. "I didn't expect you to be so strong!" The careless Last had recovered at this time. "Don't worry, Granit." She said to the chubby guy next to her.

　　"Humph, I don't want to die!" Yierlan Si said, opening her arms, "Goodbye!" A very complicated alchemy array appeared on her arms, and several of these alchemy arrays emitted light, and she swung her arms hard.

　　Bang!

　　A violent gust of wind broke out in front of Yierlan Si, and the wind was mixed with countless vacuum wind blades, flying straight towards the three androids. Although the three androids would not be killed easily, no one wanted to taste the pain of being injured, so they instinctively took defensive measures. They hoped to wait until these wind blades passed before taking action, but these wind blades were surprisingly durable.

　　"Last." Granit pulled Last and pointed in a direction. "It seems that our operation has failed this time." Last sighed. "Asshole!" Enbi changed back and punched the earth wall next to him. "Do you want to chase?" "What do you think?" Last asked back.

　　When the strong wind came out, Yierlan Si had already fled at her fastest speed. If she was in her best condition, she could still tangle with them for a while, but in her current condition, there was only one way to go, which was to escape. Speaking of these three artificial people, except for the chubby guy, the other two were all the ones Edward met in the Fifth Institute, right? What exactly do they have to do with the Philosopher's Stone?

　　After recovering her hands and legs, Yierlan Si slowed down because she had run a long way. I don't think they will chase me again, right? If they really chase me, I will be in trouble.

　　Recalling that she entered the Gate of Truth when she was unconscious, Yierlan Si gritted her teeth again. Truth! We will settle accounts sooner or later!

Chapter 28, Ouroboros on the Forehead

　　As soon as he slowed down, Yierlansi felt the pain in his left ankle. "Hiss!" It was too hasty. If it was normal, it would not be injured. "We have to find a safer place quickly." I can't toss it anymore. If that bastard colonel is here, it will be fine. Although this guy is slick, his ability is at least acceptable.

　　My eyes are dark and my legs seem to be as heavy as lead. No, I must not faint! Those guys might catch up. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from under my right ribs. "I didn't expect you to run so far in such a short time." Rast pulled back his fingers and said slowly. The severe pain made Yierlansi sober up a little. In the woods in front, Enbi walked out with a smug look on his face.

　　"Now let's see where you can run from?" Enbi said smugly.

　　"Last, can I eat her?" Granit said, holding his finger.

　　"No, she is the one that Father wants." Last said with regret, and came to Enbi with Granit. "So, can you leave with us now? I don't mind making a few more holes in your body, as long as you don't die for the time being."

　　"What do you want to do?" Yierlansi panted violently, pressing her left hand on the wound on her right rib, trying in vain to block the blood flowing out of it. With a plop, she could no longer stand and knelt on the ground, "I don't seem to have touched your interests, right?" "Nothing, it's just that Father wants to see you." Last replied.

　　"Who is your father?" Yierlansi was already very weak at this time. Not to mention three artificial people, even an ordinary person could subdue her. "You'll know when you see him." Last shrugged, "Then, let's go." After saying that, she looked at Enbi.

　　"I know, I know. I always do the physical work!" Enbi replied impatiently, and then walked towards Yierlansi.

　　What should I do? I ca

　　n't move my body!

　　I don't want to be caught!

　　Sister Hawke, Winry!

　　I don't want to die!

　　I want to live!

　　But... what should I do?

　　Is that the only way?

　　No, you can't do that! I... A warm current flowed from Yierlansi's heart, flowing to her forehead, and flowing to her limbs.

　　"No! Don't! No! Stop!" Yierlansi screamed in fear, as if she had encountered something extremely terrible. Just now, she was very brave to face the three artificial people, but now she showed an extremely frightened expression. This made the three artificial people feel very strange. Enbi and Rast looked at each other, and Rast shrugged, "It seems that you don't have to worry about it now." That means that the other party has been scared and will definitely not run again. But they didn't notice that Yierlansi's eyes were not looking at them at all. Perhaps they had encountered too many such looks and were used to them, so they didn't care at all.

　　Just when Enbi walked in front of Yierlansi, Yierlansi's trembling stopped. "...Unforgivable!" Suddenly, she jumped back nearly ten meters very quickly. She put her hands together and pressed them on her forehead. After her hands separated, Yierlansi's body began to produce the light produced by the refining reaction, just like when the android recovered.

　　Seeing this scene, Enbi and Rast felt a little bad. What? You said Granit, what can you expect this guy to think about?

　　At this time, Yierlansi had fully recovered, but her expression was indeed very sad, even desperate. There was an Ouroboros pattern in the middle of her forehead, and her bare arms and legs were densely covered with refining arrays. There was also a large refining array on her exposed abdomen and back.

　　"What on earth are you?" Enbi was a little hesitant when she saw Yierlansi's look. If her father had created a new brother, she should know it. Judging from the look on her forehead, she should also be a man-made person, but why can't the mark be seen normally?

　　Yierlansi stretched out her right hand very silently, without any words, and opened her palm. "Go, Enbi!" Rast suddenly had a very bad premonition, and hurriedly called Enbi, wanting to take Granite away. But as Yierlansi's hand released light, everything became too late. Six very huge alchemy arrays appeared in the sky, on the ground, and around, and there was a small alchemy array surrounding Yierlansi's right wrist.

　　"Decompose!" Yierlansi spit out these two words. The six huge alchemy arrays sprayed out the light of alchemy.

　　Suddenly, a black shadow-like thing bit Yierlansi fiercely. The alchemy was interrupted, and the three artificial people escaped and hurriedly ran out. What on earth was that thing? Shadow Sewing Technique? Seeing the three androids running away, Yierlan Si clasped her hands together and pressed them on the ground.

　　"Earth Escape, Rock Wave!" She habitually pronounced the name.

　　As she spoke, a wave of rocks, 100 meters wide and more than 30 meters high, hit the three androids. Tear! The black shadow attacked again. Yierlan Si jumped up hurriedly. Another guy? Without Yierlan Si's support, the earth wave stopped, but the upper end still collapsed. I don't know if it buried the three guys. But now I should kill this troublemaker first.

　　If it is a shadow attack, Yierlan Si stretched out her right hand, and eight small refining arrays appeared on the corners of the four-meter cube around her body, but the refining array released a strong light. There was no shadow at all. This should be enough, right? After a long time, Yierlan Si stopped the refining, and the other party was silent. Is it over?

　　Just like that?

　　When everything was quiet, the inexplicable sadness came over him. Why? Yierlan Si put his left hand on his chest. Why did you do this? You knew you would disappear like this! It's all those guys' fault! He stretched out his hands, and two huge alchemy arrays stood in the air, with intense alchemy light shining. The target was the direction where the three androids had escaped, although at this time the three androids might have disappeared long ago.

　　Go to hell!

　　Boom——!

　　Mastan, who was sorting out documents with Lieutenant Hawke in the Military Law Department, suddenly saw a fierce light flashing in the distance, and then felt the ground shaking. What was that? "Lieutenant!" Mastan put on gloves and wanted to explore. He intuitively felt that what happened in his place must be related to himself, or to Bis's death. "Colonel, I just got the news." At this time, Lieutenant Hawke went out to answer the phone and hurried in. "Irlan Si was attacked in the military hotel. Now her whereabouts are unknown. The guard died, and it seemed that he was torn apart by something."

　　"Do you think that light was caused by Irlan Si?" Mastan pointed to the light that had gradually become dim. "Although she is very tired, I don't think she will be killed so easily."

　　"Let's go!" Lieutenant Hawke picked up the light sniper rifle and looked at the place where the light flashed just now.

　　There was silence in the empty wilderness. There was no insect chirping at night. Only the residual fire from the explosion was burning. Yierlan Si knelt there with her hands clenched tightly on her legs. Her lips were about to bleed, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that the Philosopher's Stone in her body was missing a soul, the soul of her brother in this body. She

　　exchanged souls with the original owner of this body, and lived in her form, inheriting her love and guilt for her family. Why? She obviously hated me the most, why would she save me at this time? I was so hypocritical. Even if he took action, it wouldn't matter if I didn't activate alchemy... After all, I was still afraid of death!

　　The corners of her eyes began to moisten, and there was nothing else in her mind except the word "brother". The laughter and joy of childhood, the contradictions and awkwardness of childhood, all came up in one go. She kept telling herself that it was not her memory, but the surging emotions still defeated her. She was immersed in this warm and unforgettable memory and couldn't extricate herself.

　　Plop!

　　A tear fell to the ground, and Yierlan Si stretched out her right hand and touched her face, which was wet. Put it in front of you, is it tears? Are you sad too? Are you sad for the death of your brother?

　　The surroundings gradually became noisy, and the strong light and violent explosion attracted the attention of most people in the center. For example, a certain big man - King Bright. Under the leadership of the president, a force of more than a hundred people rushed to the scene of the incident very quickly. It's just unknown who will get there first, him or Mustang.

　　Mustang and Lieutenant Hawke quickly rushed to the place where the fire was still faintly emitting. Thanks to the daily exercise, Lieutenant Hawke was fine, but Mustang was already a little out of breath. "Colonel, you lack exercise!" Lieutenant Eagle Eye accused bluntly.

　　"I know!" Mustang replied.

　　"Is that Colonel Mustang?" At this time, a voice came. Mustang and Hawke looked back and saw that it was several troop carriers driving over, and there was a jeep in the front, and President King Bright was sitting in the car.

　　"Your Excellency the President!" Mustang and Hawkeye stood at attention and saluted.

　　"Are you going to investigate as well?" Brett looked at the two people, "Then come together!"

　　"Yes!" Mustang and Hawkeye also got in the car and sat in the back seat. This guy came at a really bad time! Mustang thought to himself, wondering if these were the seats occupied by Yierlansi. If so, then I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with!

　　Colonel? Hawkeye looked at Mustang with his eyes.

　　Let's act according to circumstances! Mustang looked back helplessly.

Chapter 29, Identity - Man-Made Man

　　"Block this area immediately!" Brett's direct subordinates commanded a hundred soldiers to surround the area tightly. "Okay, let's go." Brett said to Mustang and Hawkeye.

　　"Mr. President," Mustang said, "There might be some danger inside. Let me and Lieutenant Hawke go in and investigate first."

　　"It doesn't matter." Bright held down the saber on his waist, "I'm not too old to move." After saying that, he took the lead and walked over. The direct subordinate immediately commanded ten soldiers to follow Bright closely. Tsk, damn it! Mustang followed helplessly.

　　Hearing the noise, Yilan Si slowly stood up from the ground and turned his head to see that the leader was President Bright who invited him to be the national alchemist in the hospital. Next to him were Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawke.

　　"Yilan!?" Hawke was very surprised to see Yilan Si like this. "Are you okay? I heard that you were attacked in the military hotel." When Golden Bright saw the Ouroboros on Yilan Si's forehead, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "We meet again, Miss Hoint." The president walked over.

　　Yilansi looked at everyone without saying anything.

　　"Your Excellency the President, let me go..." Lieutenant Hawke was about to go over, but was stopped by Mustang. Mustang looked at the president and shook his head at her.

　　"Are you here to kill me?" Yilansi turned her head and looked at the soldiers surrounding her.

　　"We are here to investigate the explosion just now. Since Miss Hoint is here, you just need to explain what happened just now." The president waved to everyone, and the soldiers obediently raised their rifles.

　　"I just repelled the three guys who attacked me." Yilan Si replied calmly, "As for the explosion just now, it was my last blow to those three guys. Is that okay?"

　　"Well, since that's the case." This answer was obviously perfunctory, but Jin #8226; Bright had no doubts, "Let's leave here quickly, after all, it's not very safe here."

　　"Okay." Yilan Si walked quickly to Lieutenant Hawke.

　　"Okay, Hailu." President Bright said to his direct subordinates next to him, "Take a good look here and see if the attackers left any clues." "Yes!" The soldier who looked at Jin #8226; Bright with a very respectful look stood at attention and saluted, then commanded some soldiers to begin exploring the broken place that was blown up by Yilan Si.

　　"But." Just as they were getting in the car, Brett suddenly said, "Ms. Hoynent is really amazing. Are you really not going to join the ranks of national alchemists?" "..." Yilansi glanced at Brett, said nothing, and got into the car directly. Hawke and Mastan also got into the car.

　　The whole journey was very peaceful, no one spoke, and finally arrived at the Presidential Palace. "It's too dangerous to continue living in the military hotel. Let's live here now and leave when the danger is over." Brett got out of the car first and said to Yilansi.

　　Do you want to put me under house arrest? Because I didn't join the ranks of national alchemists, or something else? "No need." Yilansi also got out of the car. "I don't need protection. I'm not a member of the military, nor do I belong to the government."

　　"It is necessary for the country to protect talented people." Brett was not going to give in.

　　"But I don't want to be restricted in my freedom." Yierlansi didn't want to be under

　　house arrest. If she agreed at this time, it would be difficult to leave here. "Mr. President, how about this?" Mastan said at the right time, "Since Miss Hoint doesn't want to live here, and we can't let unknown people attack." This guy was making his last effort, "Then let me protect Miss Hoint. After all, I am also a national alchemist! Mr. President, you are busy with many things every day, and you can't let these things delay national affairs." Mastan's words were high-sounding and reasonable, so that Jin Bright couldn't find words to object for a while.

　　"Since this is the case, I'll have to trouble you, Colonel." President Bright said at last, "Miss Hoingent must be protected." He finally looked at Yilansi, whose whole body was covered with alchemy arrays, and said, "Miss Hoingent, I hope you can seriously consider joining the ranks of national alchemists. Also, I will block what happened tonight, because if the news is allowed to spread, it will cause panic among the citizens."

　　"It's up to you." Yilansi replied, "Also, I will consider joining the ranks of national alchemists." I'm afraid I have to join now? "Well, goodbye." Yilansi bowed slightly to President Bright and walked away. Hawke and Mastan also said goodbye to Bright and followed behind Yilansi.

　　The three of them walked for a long time. Mastan looked around and then winked at Hawke. Hawke nodded, picked up the sniper rifle, and walked into the dark corner. "Tell me, what happened?" Mastan asked. "Nothing, just attacked by three strange guys." Yilansi answered, "They just happened to have the same tattoo as me." She pointed to the Ouroboros on her forehead.

　　"What does this tattoo mean?" Mastan frowned after seeing the Ouroboros.

　　"As an alchemist, don't you know this?" Yilansi looked at Mastan in confusion. "It refers to 'alchemy' itself." She paused, "But what is certain is that they have a great relationship with the death of Lieutenant Colonel Bis."

　　"What!?" Mastan was shocked. "I gave Lieutenant Colonel Bis a talisman with the alchemy array I constructed on it. It seems to have been taken away when Lieutenant Colonel Bis was killed." Yilansi said calmly, "They obviously came to attack me because of the talisman, saying something like my father wanted to see me."

　　"Can you tell me in detail?" Mastan stared at Yilansi closely. "Okay." Yierlan Si replied, "But not now. I think we should leave the enemy's territory first." "We'll leave tonight." Mastan said. "Is that okay? Colonel." Lieutenant Hawke suddenly spoke.

　　"Just say that in order to avoid being attacked again, we have to leave here first." Mastan replied, "Besides, I came here this time because of Bis's death. Since the funeral is over, there is no need for us to stay here any longer." He lowered his voice, "More importantly, we have found clues to Bis's murder."

　　"Okay." Hawke nodded in the dark.

　　The three of them came to the central garrison, where Mastan requisitioned a car and began to march towards the Eastern Command. "We'll wait until tomorrow when the train runs, and then take the train at another station." He said, "Now it is necessary to leave the central government first." Yierlan Si didn't say anything and sat in the back seat directly. She came here just to save Lieutenant Colonel Bis. Since she didn't save anyone and was being targeted by the people in the central government, and she didn't even know which force the enemy was, of course it would be best to leave first.

　　Hawke was driving in the front, while Mustang and Yierlansi were sitting in the back. "Is it time to talk now?" Mustang asked impatiently after leaving the center. "You should know what Edward and Al are looking for, right?" Yierlansi started with this question. "I know about the Philosopher's Stone," Mustang replied, "but I think it's unlikely to find a legendary level one like that."

　　"Who are you kidding?" Yilansi glanced at Mustang, "I heard from Doctor Mark that the unfinished Philosopher's Stone was used when the rebellion of Ishville was suppressed. You were called the Hero of Ishville. Don't tell me you don't know about that thing." Her tone was a little cold, "If you can't believe me, then I have nothing to say to you."

　　"Okay." Mustang sighed and made up his mind, "I just don't want you to get involved. Since you said so, I won't hide anything anymore." His tone was serious, "We did use something called redstone at the time, probably the unfinished Philosopher's Stone you mentioned. But I still think it's unlikely that the Philosopher's Stone will be found or made."

　　"That's because there hasn't been any systematic research." Yilansi's tone became calmer, "The Philosopher's Stone refining array is very simple. The key is the materials." "Materials?" Mustang had a feeling that there was a problem.

　　"Yes, the material is..." Yierlansi smiled bitterly, "living humans."

　　Squeak!

　　The car stopped for a moment. Although most of her attention was focused on driving, Lieutenant Hawke still heard something. She was shocked and almost drove into the drainage ditch beside the road. She stepped on the brakes in a hurry. "I'm sorry, Colonel." Hawke apologized hurriedly. But Mustang ignored her and looked at Yierlansi in surprise.

　　"Are you telling the truth?" Mustang asked in surprise.

　　"Of course it's true." Yierlansi sneered, "Don't you believe it?"

　　"No, I'm just too surprised." Mustang laughed at himself. "So what does this have to do with Biss's... Wait? Could it be that when Biss was investigating these things..."

　　"Edward and Al invaded the Fifth Research Institute in the center, where they saw the refining array for refining the Philosopher's Stone and obtained some information." Yilan Si narrated calmly, "They were attacked by the androids there, but for some reason the androids did not kill them, but just drove them out. Later, Lieutenant Colonel Biss and Major Armstrong came to visit the patient, and they exchanged information. Later, they were discovered by President Bright and were strictly ordered to stop further investigation." She sighed, "I think Lieutenant Colonel Biss must have investigated something later, so he was silenced."

　　Yilan Si finished these words, and there was a silence in the carriage.

　　In a corner in the center, several black shadows gathered together again. "Damn! That bastard!" Enbi punched the ground, and gravel immediately flew on the ground. "Okay, stop feeling sorry for yourself." Rast said, "It's beyond our ability now. Let's wait for the instructions from our father."

　　"Ras, are you sure you saw a mark on her forehead?" the old guy asked someone standing somewhere.

　　"Yes, I saw it clearly." the middle-aged man replied, "and there are many refining arrays on her limbs."

　　"Really?" The old voice was silent for a while, "I know, you don't have to look for her anymore. I think I know her origin. In this world, besides me, there is only one other person who can create artificial people, but I didn't expect that he could actually create artificial people." With his personality, it is really hard to believe that he could create artificial people.

　　"Are we just going to let her go?" Enbi was obviously unwilling.

　　," the old voice said, "After all, she is also a candidate for a human pillar. You continue to monitor her, but remember not to alert the enemy."

Chapter 30, Yilan Si's Past (Part 1)

　　The car continued to move, and the next day the three of them arrived at a station and handed the car over to the local military. Then the three of them bought train tickets and waited for the train on the platform. Yilansi was ready to go to Tapris, and Mastan did not stop her. He just asked a question. "What about the tattoo on your forehead and the alchemy array on your limbs?" He pointed at Yilansi's body.

　　Yilansi told Mastan with her actions. She asked Lieutenant Hawke to buy her a piece of cloth, and then used alchemy to connect it directly to her clothes, so that she wore long clothes and long pants, and it was a very novel style. Then she refined a hat, put it on her head, and lowered the brim. "The tattoo on your body will disappear in three days." She said softly, then sat on the platform and no longer made any sound.

　　Lieutenant Lisa Hawke sat beside Yierlan Si. She noticed that Yierlan Si's body was trembling slightly. She also felt that this girl who usually loved to play had become too depressed. Even if it was because of Bis's death, she would not become like this.

　　"What's wrong, Yilan?" She held Yierlan Si in her arms and asked softly.

　　"...Nothing." Yierlan Si tried her best to hide the sadness and guilt in her heart.

　　"Some things are better said out loud. Am I not your sister?" Hawke gently patted Yierlan Si's shoulder. "Aren't sisters meant to share happiness and pain?"

　　"I'm not her, but I'm constantly tortured by her emotions and memories." Yi'erlan Si said softly. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to hear the whispering like a dream. "It has nothing to do with me, why am I being tortured like this!? Is this also an equal exchange?" She talked to herself. If she didn't talk about it, she might go crazy.

　　"Yes, I inherited her name, which means I inherited everything from her, her memory, spirit, emotions, and soul." She never thought she would say this. If she wasn't in this mental state, she would never say something that even her master didn't know. "Yilan Si#8226;Hoinent was born in the oasis in the eastern desert..."

　　A small house full of messy books, a little girl of only six years old was lying on the ground, concentrating on drawing something on it. "Yilan! Yilan! It's time to eat." A middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor walked into the house. "You kid, you just know how to draw here."

　　"I'm not drawing!" The little girl stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I'm studying alchemy!" "Okay, let's go eat!" The woman said with a smile. "Oh, what are you eating today?" Yilan put away her things and asked her mother. "Your favorite fried eggs." Yilan's mother France gently rubbed her eldest daughter's hair.

　　"Thank you, mom!" Yilan ran out happily after hearing this.

　　At the dinner table, Yilan quickly grabbed the food on the table, not at all ladylike. "Sister, you ate all my share!" Yilan's twin brother Ishuher#8226; Hoinent said with a pout. "Who told you to grab it slowly!" Yilan didn't act like a sister at all. "I have to go to learn alchemy after I finish eating!"

　　"Humph!" Il (Ishuher's nickname) snorted and turned his face away angrily.

　　"It's no use for you to say 'humph', who made you so stupid!" Yilan said proudly, "I'll show Mr. Baihe my own alchemy array this afternoon!" It doesn't matter if she doesn't say it. After hearing her words, Yi'er was so angry that he threw his bowl on the table and ran away. "You girl, why don't you look like a sister at all?" France blamed. "Why don't you go find him quickly?" The two siblings have been at odds since they were born, and there is not a day without quarrels.

　　Yilan pouted and came to the yard. According to past experience, this cowardly boy will never leave this one-third acre of land. After searching everywhere, Yilan even looked for the doghouse, but couldn't find Yi'er. Where did he go? Suddenly, I had a bad premonition. I haven't been to my hut yet! He won't go there to cause trouble, right? Thinking of this, Yi'erlan Si hurried to her hut, and found her brother who was committing a "crime".

　　"What are you doing!?" Yierlansi saw her brother tearing up the alchemy array and analysis data she had just drawn, and shouted angrily, then punched him. Yier was not to be outdone, and waved his hand to hit him, and the two children started fighting in the room. Until their mother France came over, the result was that the two siblings were punished together and helped their father wash clothes.

　　Yierlansi pouted and glared at her brother, "It's all your fault. I was going to go to Mr. Bayhe to show him my alchemy array!" She said angrily to her brother. "Humph!" Yishuweier glanced at his sister and dragged the basin to the side. Six-year-old children can't wash clothes at all, and France knew it, so she just asked the two guys to wash some towels to practice. "Oh,

　　our little Yilan is washing clothes!" At this time, a middle-aged man with brown hair walked in from outside the yard. He looked a little fat, but very energetic.

　　"Mr. Baihe!" Yilan ran over happily when she saw the middle-aged man, jumping around there, "I designed an alchemy array myself! It's great!" After saying that, she ran to the corner, took a branch, and began to draw on the ground.

　　"Thank you so much, Mr. Baihe." France, who was washing clothes, saw the only alchemist in the village come to his home, and hurried over. "My Yilan has troubled you." "No, I'm so happy to meet a child as talented as Yilan." Baihe waved his hands hurriedly.

　　"Mr. Baihe, look!" At this time, Yilan had already drawn the alchemy array and put the materials in place, which was a round wood. The little girl put her hands on the alchemy array and activated it. Although Yier looked like he was learning to wash clothes, his eyes looked in the direction of his sister. In fact, he was also very eager to learn alchemy, but he couldn't learn it anyway, so he could only watch.

　　A ray of light flashed, and the round wood turned into a small chair, which was very beautiful. Snap Snap Snap! Bayhe applauded. "That's amazing." He said, and then he walked to France. "Mrs. Hoynent, I hope Yierlansi can come to me to learn alchemy. She will definitely become an amazing alchemist!"

　　"Is that okay?" France hesitated. Although her daughter would be amazing in the future after learning alchemy, it also meant that troubles would follow. For some reason, she didn't want her child to get into trouble. "

　　"Mom! Please let me learn alchemy!" Yierlansi ran to France again.

　　"Well... okay." France hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed when he saw how eager Yierlansi was. "But you must exercise every day according to your father's method!" "Of course!" Yierlansi smiled and nodded. "I like my father's way of exercising!"

　　"Of course, her talent is the best I've ever seen!" Bayhe tried to convince France. "I've never seen an alchemist who can use alchemy at such a young age. Even I didn't use my first alchemy until I was thirteen years old."

　　"Mom, please!" Yierlansi saw that her mother was hesitant, so she ran over and hugged her legs, and kept acting like a spoiled child. "Well..." France still hadn't made up her mind. Yierlansi saw this, her eyes rolled, and she ran over and picked up the small chair she had just made, and came to Yier. "Yier, this small chair is for you." She stuffed the small chair into Yier's hand, "Don't be angry with your sister anymore, okay?" Yierlansi attacked with a pleading tone and eyes, and was willing to do anything for her to learn alchemy.

　　"Humph!" Yier glared at her sister, turned around and walked away.

　　"Don't come back too late." France said to her daughter, and then bowed slightly to Bayihe, "I'll leave my daughter to you." "Don't worry, Mrs. Hoynent, I will definitely make little Yilan a powerful alchemist." Bayihe said very happily.

　　"Mom, bye!" Yierlansi ran to Bayihe's side and followed Bayihe away. "Mom..." Ishuher grabbed the corner of France's clothes. "Okay, don't worry," France rubbed Ishuher's head, "Your sister will come home every day." "But..." Ishuher looked at his mother eagerly, but finally said nothing.

　　So Yilansi began her one-year alchemy study. It must be said that this girl is indeed a genius picked out of a million. No matter what Bayihe taught her, she could learn it quickly and apply it to other situations. Of course, this is also inseparable from Yilansi's very hard study every day. God knows what this child has become. You know, she is only six years old now. If she continues at this trend, she can reach the level of a national alchemist at the age of ten at most. However, just when Yilansi was about to turn seven, something happened that changed her life and also changed this small village in the oasis.

　　Late at night, in his room, Bayihe sat in front of the table with a haggard look on his face. On the table was a piece of paper with an alchemy array drawn on it. If Edward were here, he would be very surprised, because this refining array is the refining array for refining the Philosopher's Stone. "Why did it fail? Why!" Baihe shouted excitedly and frantically, "Ten years! Ten years! I stayed in this desolate village! Just to revive you! Why do I always fail? Is it really impossible without this Philosopher's Stone?" He stood up, "Desolate... Yes, this village is still far away from Amestris... If I refine it here, no one will find it..."

　　Because of a person's change of mind, this paradise-like village fell into an irreparable disaster...

Chapter 31, Yierlansi's Past (Part 2)

　　Refining the Philosopher's Stone!

　　Once this idea appeared, it could no longer be suppressed. No matter how much help the people in this village had given him, no matter how much they respected him, he could not change his mind. Bayihe began to carve the alchemy array in the village every day. He was crazy. Of course, he also found a good excuse for his behavior, saying that in order to prevent the attack of sandstorms, he had to draw the alchemy array in the village and refine it into a green fortress for the village.

　　No one doubted his words, and many people even came to help him, but they didn't know that this alchemy array was a sinful pattern that could make them fall into the abyss. Only Yierlansi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't see what was wrong. First, her knowledge was not enough for her to distinguish what this simple alchemy array was for, and second, she believed that her master was really for the good of the village.

　　So, the village went into death day by day. Finally, it was Yierlansi's birthday...

　　"Really, when will Dad come back?" Because today was her birthday, Yierlansi did not go to Bayihe's house to learn alchemy for the first time, but waited for her father who was always away on business at her own home. "Maybe something happened." France was also a little worried, because her husband rarely failed to return to the village on time. "Don't worry, Dad will definitely come back." There were two small birthday cakes on the table, each with six candles.

　　"Little Yilan!" At this time, Bayihe came in from outside. "Today is your and Yi'er's birthday. As a master, I don't have much to do. This is my notebook, and I'll give it to you." He held a notebook in his hand.

　　"Thank you so much!" Yi'erlan Si took the notebook very happily and opened it immediately. "This is my birthday gift for Yi'er." Bayihe gave the small sword in his hand to Yishuheer, of course, it was not sharpened. "Thank you, Master." Yishuheer was still very polite, much better than her careless sister.

　　After reading the notebook for a while, Yi'erlan Si looked at the sky. It was already dusk. But her father still didn't come back, and she couldn't wait any longer. "I'll go to the village entrance to take a look!" After saying that, she put the notebook in her pocket and ran out quickly. Although Ishuher wanted to go out, Yierlansi had already gone out. Under the guidance of the thought of not doing the same thing as his sister, he got off the chair and fell down again.

　　"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Baihe nodded and left Yierlansi's house. If you are a careful person, you will definitely find that his hands are shaking constantly. If there is anyone in this village that he can't bear, it is Yierlansi. After all, it is the wish of every teacher to be able to teach an amazing apprentice. He was originally thinking about how to trick this little girl out of the village. Since she left by herself, it would be a shame for him not to take action. Anyway, the refining formation has been completed this morning.

　　Marsha, we can finally be together again!

　　Baihe thought in his heart.

　　Yierlansi sat under the big tree outside the village, quietly looking into the distance, hoping that his father would suddenly appear. "Okay, don't worry." At this time, Baihe suddenly appeared. "Your father will definitely come back." His face was a little ferocious.

　　"What's wrong with you?" Yi'erlan Si saw that Baihe was a little abnormal and asked worriedly.

　　"Nothing, my long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled, congratulate me, the master!" Baihe said a little crazy, "As long as you use this huge refining array to refine the Philosopher's Stone, Marsha will be resurrected!" He came to Yi'erlan Si, his face almost touching Yi'erlan Si's face, "You are also very happy, right? Marsha is the most gentle and beautiful woman I have ever seen!"

　　"Master, what's wrong with you?" Yi'erlan Si took a few steps back. She was six years old and had not yet realized that the man in front of her was no longer the kind-hearted person, but a demon who was willing to destroy the entire village and nearly a thousand lives in order to revive his beloved woman.

　　"Look! This is the alchemy array that can revive my Marsha!" Bayhe came to the huge alchemy array, "As long as I activate this alchemy array..." "No!" Yilansi instinctively felt that something was wrong, and immediately came to Bayhe, wanting to stop this guy. But how could a seven-year-old child stop a man in his prime? Although she worked hard every day, she was still thrown to the side and hit a tree, almost knocked unconscious.

　　"Sister!" At this time, Ishuher also came out of the house, saw his sister being thrown out from a distance, and hurried over. France followed behind.

　　"Hahahaha... Marsha! I can finally see you again!" As he said, Bayihe pressed his hands on the alchemy array and prepared to activate it. At this moment, a wind blade attacked from the side, cut his abdomen, and blood poured out.

　　Yierlansi was stunned. She didn't expect that the alchemy equipment she spent half a year researching would be so powerful. All she could see was the blood that dyed the ground red.

　　Gulu...

　　Bayihe fell to the ground, his vision was a little blurred. "Ma...er...sha..." He pressed his hands on the refining formation.

　　A beautiful, ethereal, and soul-stirring red light shot up into the sky, and the people in the village were immediately decomposed. "Mom! Yier!" Under Yierlansi's horrified gaze, the gentle mother and the hateful but lovely brother gradually decomposed. "Ma, Er, Sha..." The culprit lost too much blood and finally fell into the abyss of death.

　　The red light was still shining, reflecting the dusk, beautiful and deadly.

　　It was happiness in suffering,

　　victory in war,

　　light in darkness,

　　the promise of resurrection of the dead,

　　a stone dyed red with blood...

　　Humans respectfully called it the "Philosopher's Stone"

　　"Hahaha, haha, you're lying, you must be lying!" Yierlansi, who was only seven years old, could not accept the occurrence of such a thing. She stood up shakily, walked to the front of the alchemy formation, and stretched out her hand. The red light gradually disappeared, but there was no living life in the village anymore. In a state of mental confusion, Yierlan Si walked into her home. Two birthday cakes were quietly placed on the table. However, the person who celebrated her birthday with her was gone. The mother who smiled every day, made delicious food for her, and loved her was gone. What was left was only a very intact ruin. Stumbling

　　and unknowingly, Yierlan Si walked to the center of the village, which was also the center of the alchemy array. There, a red stone lay quietly. Yierlan Si stared blankly at the legendary stone that was madly pursued by the alchemist and was cast with her relatives and friends. Two lines of red tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

　　Why am I the only one alive? Why don't you let me die? Why did this happen?

　　The tender hands slowly picked up the Philosopher's Stone, "Give my mother and brother back--!" She cried madly, but there was no response.

　　Since I can't find my mother and brother, I'll leave with them... Yi'erlansi held the Philosopher's Stone in her left hand and pressed her right hand on the center of the huge refining array.

　　Refining me into the Philosopher's Stone...

　　Seeing the red light flashing again, Yi'erlansi felt relieved.

　　Bang!

　　A door opened in front of her.

　　"Hey, welcome here." A human-shaped black shadow opened his arms to her, "You... ignorant kid!"

　　Later, the person who died in the other world because of his father's experiment came to this world. The two made a contract. The person in the other world inherited everything of Yi'erlansi, and Yi'erlansi in this world fell into a death-like sleep as she wished. Then Edward and Al's father Hohenheim passed by the village and saved Yi'erlansi. The two embarked on a ten-year journey. Of course, she never said this.

　　The person who came to the other world, the current Yilansi, Hoinent, wanted to restore her previous body, but after failing, the previous Yilansi exchanged the origin of her soul with her and paid the price for the current Yilansi.

　　Yilansi's gentle words brought Mustang and Hawke into that painful memory. The two could not speak for a long time, because they knew that any comfort was futile. Perhaps only time can take it all away. After telling the things that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, it seemed that she was much more relaxed. Yilansi lay in Hawke's arms and fell asleep quietly.

　　"The Philosopher's Stone is really the source of all evil..." Mustang looked up at the sky, "But anyway, we know the cause of Bis's death, and now we have to start investigating in this regard." He looked at Yilansi who was in a deep sleep, "Take her back to the Eastern Command first, she can't go to Tapris like this." He pointed to the train coming from afar.

　　"Okay." Huo Keai nodded, and then looked at the girl who looked strong on the outside but was very fragile inside with gentle eyes again. After the train arrived at the station, Huo Keai picked up Yierlan Si and handed the ticket to Mastan beside him. "Do you want me to come?" Mastan asked with a smile. "No." Huo Keai shook his head. This child is really light.

Chapter 32, the second name

　　When Yierlan Si woke up, it was already another morning. "Hey, where am I?" Yierlan Si lifted the blanket, sat up, and looked around. "I remember I was going to Tapris, could it be that I'm already there?" This guy was already a little confused, and didn't realize that he was taken to the Eastern Command by Huo Keai.

　　Ding ding ding.

　　At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Wait a minute." Yierlansi realized that her clothes were neatly placed beside the bed. Suddenly, she froze, and then shuddered. Could she have encountered something bad? For example, she was raped by a bastard man when she was unconscious... No, I can't think about it anymore! It's too scary! Just thinking about it makes people scared!

　　Quickly putting on her clothes, Yierlansi opened the door aggressively, ready to cut the rude guy to pieces. "How was your rest?" Outside the door was Lisa Hawke. "Lisa... Sister." After seeing Hawke, Yierlansi finally let go of her worries and returned to the bed to sit down, "Why did you come to Tapris with me?" This guy was still confused.

　　"Who went to Tapris with you?" Hawke smiled helplessly, "This is the Eastern Command."

　　"Strange, I clearly remember buying a ticket to Tapris, why did I come here?" Yierlan Si was still puzzled. "You fell asleep, so I brought you here. I was worried that you would travel alone in that state." Yierlan Si was stunned for a moment, and finally said softly: "Thank you, Sister Lisa." "Okay

　　, go have some breakfast, the colonel wants to see you." After saying that, he patted Yierlan Si's shoulder and walked out.

　　"What does that pervert colonel want to see me for?" Yierlan Si didn't understand. After the talk that day, she seemed to have recovered. "Forget it, filling my stomach is important. Let's go!" While talking to herself, she ran to the cafeteria of the Eastern Command.

　　The chef in the cafeteria had received an order to prepare a hearty breakfast for Yierlansi, so when he saw Yierlansi coming, he immediately brought the prepared breakfast to Yierlansi. "Wow, good stuff!" Yierlansi rubbed her hands and was almost drooling, "Egg yolk pie, milk, braised beef, wow, what is this? There is even a pair of prawns!" Yierlansi thanked the chef very much and immediately started eating.

　　The chef was quite happy when he saw Yierlansi coming in. After all, it was an honor to prepare breakfast for a beauty who was as beautiful as Lieutenant Hawke. But after Yierlansi started eating, the chef's smile froze, because Yierlansi, who had been hungry for a day and a night, ate without any ladylike manners. She wolfed down the food, even more than those boys.

　　After drinking two servings of milk happily, Yierlansi licked her lips with satisfaction. "Thank you, uncle!" She waved to the chef with great satisfaction, then turned two somersaults and left the cafeteria. The chef swallowed his saliva with great effort, then smiled and shook his head, "She is really a lively girl, but why did she have a refining array tattooed on her forehead?" Although Yierlansi wore long clothes and long pants, the Ouroboros on her forehead was not covered up. Because the chef had been cooking here for a long time and had seen Mastan's gloves, he subconsciously thought that it was a refining array.

　　After Yierlan Si had eaten and drunk enough, she came to Mastan's office. "Hi, everyone!" She walked in without knocking. But when she walked in, she was embarrassed to find that only Mustang was inside. "Why, am I the only one disappointed?" Mustang said to the girl in front of him with his hands crossed and his elbows on the table, with a frozen smile.

　　"Why are you alone? Where is Sister Lisa?" Yierlansi looked around unwillingly, and after confirming that there was really no place for people to hide in this room, she came to sit opposite Mastan. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

　　"First of all, I think you should take a look at this." Mastan took out a piece of parchment from the drawer and handed it to Yierlansi.

　　"What is this? So mysterious." Yilan Si took the parchment in confusion. There were only a few words written on it, "President King Bright appointed you, Yilan Si, Hoingent as 'Wind'." Seeing this, Yilan Si was surprised, "Colonel, what's going on?" "

　　The appointment letter arrived last night. It seems that he sent it to us after we left the President," Mustang took out two things from the drawer again, "This is a silver pocket watch, and this is a letter from the President to you."

　　"Letter?" Yilan Si did not take the silver pocket watch, but took the letter, opened it and read it. After reading a few sentences, her face turned pale, and bang! She slammed the table heavily.

　　"Are you very angry?" Mustang seemed to have known something for a long time.

　　"I didn't expect that the head of this country would be such a person!" Yilan Si put the letter heavily on the table, and wrote in a simple tone, "President King Bright salutes you. Your apprentice Ai Sa is doing well now. We have specially invited three national alchemists to teach her, so you don't have to worry." This is clearly because he is afraid that he will not accept the qualification of the national alchemist, and he is using this to threaten him. "

　　So, what are you going to do next?" Mustang asked knowingly.

　　"What else can I do? I have to accept it." Yilan Si said helplessly. Although he was angry, he also knew that one person's power could not compete with the entire country.

　　"Would you like to join us?" Mustang threw an olive branch to this powerful alchemist, "Support me, and change this country when I become the president!"

　　Yilan Si was not particularly surprised. From the first time she met Mustang, she knew that this person was very ambitious. It was just that Roy Mustang said it so directly, which was somewhat unexpected, and made her a little overwhelmed.

　　Mustang was not in a hurry, but just looked at Yierlansi quietly, staring at her answer. He believed that she would definitely answer, because she was a gem that would not be buried by dust. "Why do you want me to join?" Yierlansi did not answer directly, but asked a question instead.

　　"Because of your ability and your unrestrained heart!" Mustang answered very firmly, "I believe you will definitely join us!"

　　"Okay!" Yierlansi smiled, "Happy cooperation!" She stretched out her hand to Mustang. "Happy cooperation!" Mustang also stretched out his hand.

　　"Alas, I have become a running dog of the military." Yierlansi smiled bitterly and picked up the silver pocket watch on the table, buckled the chain on her belt, and then put the watch in her trouser pocket. "But my dog ​​is not very loyal." She glanced at Mustang, "I hope you will not let me down, the future president." After that, she left the office.

　　Mustang saw Yierlansi leave, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I hope you won't let me down, 'Alchemist of the Wind'!"

　　"Huh, I still haven't gotten rid of it." Yierlan Si helplessly touched the silver pocket watch in her pocket. So, where is Sister Lisa? Seeing a soldier coming up ahead, she grabbed him and said, "Um, may I ask where Lisa Hawke is?"

　　"Ah, Lieutenant Hawke seems to be at the shooting gallery." The soldier pointed in a direction, "That's where she goes almost every day." "Thank you!" Yierlan Si smiled and waved to the soldier, and ran towards the shooting gallery. "Uh, oh!" The soldier was electrified by Yierlan Si's charming smile.

　　Bang! Bang! ...

　　As soon as she entered the shooting gallery, she heard loud gunshots. "Wow, she looks so passionate!" She hadn't used a gun much since she came to this world. How many men in their prime are not fascinated by guns? Unfortunately, even after coming to this world where gun control is not very strict, Yierlan Si hadn't touched a gun many times. Every time after touching the gun, the hateful blond bearded man would say that girls should not touch such dangerous things.

　　"Sister Lisa!" Yierlansi walked to Hawke who was contacting the sniper rifle.

　　"Are you okay?" Hawke put down the sniper rifle in his hand and asked. "Well, it's just a little thing." Yierlansi said, grabbing the gun in Hawke's hand, "Let me practice it too!" "Hey, it's very dangerous!" Hawke said helplessly. She was also very clear about the little things Yierlansi mentioned, because she received the letter and the silver pocket watch.

　　Humph, thinking of the very accurate shots when fighting with the android that night, Yierlansi's self-confidence swelled infinitely. So, he aimed a little and fired a shot.

　　Bang!

　　It was obvious when he took it. "You missed the target. You didn't aim well at all." Seeing that it would be difficult to get the sniper rifle back in a short time, Hawke said helplessly, "Only a very experienced sniper can shoot so easily." "Damn it!" Yierlansi was embarrassed when she saw that her shot missed the target.

　　So she tried very hard to aim, and then... Bang!

　　"Ahhh... Damn it, why did it miss the target again?" Yierlansi handed the sniper rifle to Hawke, and then ran to the officer next to her, posing a coquettish look, "Um, can I borrow the pistol?" "Uh, oh, okay." The male officer subconsciously handed the pistol in his hand to Yierlansi, "But you must be careful!" When he saw the pistol in Yierlansi's hand, he remembered that he couldn't hand over the gun to others casually, but it was too late now, and it seemed that this person seemed to know the famous Lieutenant Hawke, so he had to remind him.

　　"OK!" Yierlan Si nodded, then ran to the shooting position again, aimed... Bang!

　　"It seems that you don't have much talent for shooting." Hawke said confidently.

Chapter 33, Go to Tapris

　　"No, I clearly hit that android several times that day..." Yierlan Si's words were not finished yet, and Hawke blocked her mouth. "Don't say these words casually." Hawke whispered, then took the pistol from Yierlan Si and returned it to the officer next to him.

　　"It seems that you are the kind of person who can be in a state of being on the spot," Huo Ke said to Yi Erlan Si, "the kind of person who can't shoot dead objects." "Really?" Yi Erlan Si was a little confused, "Why haven't I heard of it?" "This is the professional knowledge of our shooters. It's normal that you don't know it." Huo Ke said, but she secretly added in her heart, this is what I just invented today.

　　"This is an order. No outsiders are allowed to enter here." One of the soldiers said very loudly.

　　"Oh, forget it." Yi'erlansi shrugged. "I don't use guns in combat anyway. There are many times when bullets cannot cause any harm to the opponent." She touched her forehead. "Compared to guns, I believe in alchemy more."

　　"For the alchemists in your country, using ordinary fighting methods is certainly not an option." Hawke put on the safety of the sniper rifle. "I'm going to the street in a while. Do you want to go?" "Go to the street?" Yi'erlansi was a little stunned. She looked at Hawke with suspicion. Does this very tough female officer also have a very feminine side?

　　"Okay, but is it okay? It's working hours now." Yilan Si turned around twice. "It's just right for me to go to Tapris after shopping with you." "It doesn't matter, I'm taking a break today." Hawke replied. Hey, hey, this isn't the question, is it? Would you leave Mustang so confidently? Yilan Si complained in his heart.

　　"Let's go to my place." Hawke put the sniper rifle on his back and walked out first. "Hey, wait for me!" Yilan Si hurriedly followed him out. Shopping, I don't really like it... But if Sister Lisa invited me, I'd better go, anyway I have to go to Tapris soon.

　　Lieutenant Hawke put away the sniper rifle, and then took the pistol... Well, he is really a soldier, never leaving his weapon at any time. "Hey, hey, sister Lisa." Yierlan Si came to Hawke's side, "Can I also carry a gun? After all, I am a military man now, so I should carry a gun for self-defense, right?"

　　Hawke looked at Yierlan Si, and finally took out a gun from the gun vault. "Although your shooting ability is not very good, I still give you a gun for self-defense." She stuffed the pistol into Yierlan Si's hand, "But be careful when using it, there are a total of seven bullets in it... Forget it, I'll teach you how to use it." She took the pistol back and began to introduce Yierlan Si to how to use and maintain firearms. "I hope you won't need it."

　　"Thank you!" Yierlan Si put the safety of the pistol on and put it in her small bag.

　　"Okay, let's go." Lisa Hawke took Yierlan Si away from the Eastern Command. Hawke's home is not far from the Eastern Command, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk. The room is a house facing the sun, which is very unique.

　　"I didn't expect Sister Lisa's house to be so nice." Yi'erlansi looked at the furnishings in the room and found it very monotonous. There were not as many decorations as in the rooms of ordinary girls, only daily necessities. "But your room is really monotonous."

　　"Those are unnecessary..." "Are you saying that a comfortable life will make you lazy?" Yi'erlansi interrupted Huo Keai's words. "Probably." Huo Keai nodded, took off his military uniform, and changed into his usual clothes.

　　"Really, even if you change out of your military uniform, you still look like a strong woman..." Yi'erlansi said enviously, "Alas, there is still more than a day before the refining array on my body disappears, really." She looked at her tightly covered body, "I'm really not used to this."

　　"Aren't you worried about how to explain it after going to Tapris?" Huo Keai smiled and asked. "Well, I don't know what happened to those three guys." Yierlan Si said with some worry, "Alas, if we can contact them wherever they go." There are no mobile phones in this world, which is too inconvenient. When I have time, I will at least get a radio! "If it's a friend, there is nothing that cannot be tolerated." Huo Keai said.

　　"Okay, let's go." Yierlan Si went out first. "Where are we going?"

　　"Just buy some daily necessities, let's go to the market." Huo Keai took Yierlan Si to the market.

　　It must be said that the city where the Eastern Command is located is still very prosperous. At least the market is much larger than the rural market of Wen Li's family. There are a lot of things for sale in the market, food, toys, clothes, and daily necessities. However, Yierlan Si is not very interested in these. She will only stop when she passes by a place selling delicious food. Looking at Huo Keai again, she is not like ordinary girls who go shopping endlessly, but she sells her own things very purposefully.

　　"Yeah, delicious!" Yi'erlansi bought some snacks and threw them into her mouth one by one. Seeing the children on the street looking at her with admiration, she wanted to show off and threw the snacks higher, but no matter how high she threw them, she could always catch them with her mouth. Soon, Huo Keai finished shopping and patted Yi'erlansi on the shoulder.

　　"Here you go." Huo Keai held a silk scarf in her hand. "I will be back to the headquarters soon, so I won't see you off. Be careful on your way." "Yeah, don't worry!" Yi'erlansi gave Huo Keai a very bright smile and then took the silk scarf. "If you are not happy, just say it." Huo Keai said to Yi'erlansi, "I will be waiting for you at any time." "Yes." Yi'erlansi nodded obediently. She liked this heroic big sister very much.

　　"Goodbye." Huo Keai waved to Yi'erlansi and walked away.

　　"Goodbye." Yierlansi also waved to Hawke, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared. How could those bloody memories be forgotten so easily? She was just forcing a smile and pretending to be strong on the surface. It's really hard to show your weakness in front of others. But forget it, let's take it one step at a time and go to the train station to Tapris. She didn't have a lot of luggage, just a small bag.

　　Soon, Yierlansi rushed to the train station, bought a ticket, and got on the train.

　　Time passed quickly. Two days later, Yierlansi arrived at Tapris. But when she arrived at Tapris, she found that she didn't know where Edward was. This Tapris is not a small place. It's too slow to look for it one place at a time. By the way, since he is Edward's master, he must be a very remarkable alchemist, right? I just need to ask where there are alchemists in this city, so that I can narrow down the target a lot. Well, let's do it!

　　Thinking of this, Yierlan Si straddled her small bag and came to the platform. "Hey, uncle, please help me." She asked a conductor who was checking tickets on the platform. "What's the matter?" The uncle had just watched the train leave and wanted to take a rest, and someone called him. He was a little unhappy, but he answered with a smile on his face because it was a beautiful woman.

　　"Excuse me, are there any very famous alchemists in Tapris?" Yierlan Si asked. "

　　Alchemists?" The conductor thought for a while, "It seems that there are several, but I don't know which one you are talking about."

　　"... Can you tell me their address?" Yierlan Si said hopefully. "How should I know this? I just know a little bit." The conductor shook his head. Although he didn't help, there was nothing he could do, right? "But if you really want to find them, you can make a request to the police department here. I think they should be able to provide you with some help."

　　"Okay, thank you." Although Yierlan Si was a little dissatisfied with these, there was nothing he could do. It seems that the only way is to go to the military here. Anyway, I am now a national alchemist. I have the power and I should use it. If a civil war breaks out, if I am allowed to go to the battlefield, it will be better to return to my original state. Thinking of this, she left the station and began to look for the military headquarters in this city.

　　The military headquarters here is still easy to find, but the soldiers at the door would not let me in at all. Do they really want me to take out the silver pocket watch? "I say, don't regret it." Yierlan Si looked at the two soldiers in front of the door.

　　I didn't expect that there are such high-quality soldiers in this world? Since they abide by the discipline, let them go! Yierlan Si shrugged, "Oh, it's true." She took out the silver pocket watch from her pocket, "So, the Wind Alchemist asked to see your superior, this should be ok, right?"

　　"Please wait!" Another soldier came over to look at the silver pocket watch, but he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, so he hurried inside. After a while, a very capable middle-aged officer came out calmly. "Excuse me, are you the Wind Alchemist?" The officer didn't have a good impression of Guo Jian Alchemist, but the other party was directly under the President, so he had to give him face. "I am Lieutenant Colonel Reis, the commander here."

　　"Yes, I am the Wind Alchemist Yilan Si#8226; Hoinent. I came here to get the names and addresses of all the alchemists in Tapris." Yilan Si said straight to the point, "Actually, I came to find the Fullmetal Alchemist, but I only know that he came to find his master, and I don't know the exact address of his arrival here, so I came here to seek your help, and I hope I won't cause you any trouble." Yilan Si's words were still very decent.
