Chapter 3 The Wounded Man
Alice searched for Edward and his brothers all the way, but she didn't see them. At that time, she met Mastan and Lisa. When she saw the two, Alice walked over quickly and asked, "Mastan, have you met Edward and Al?"
Mastan nodded and said, "I saw it, if you want to comfort them, it's no longer necessary."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much for your hard work."
When Mastan heard Alice say this, he asked very gentlemanly: "Oh, since I have worked so hard to comfort steel, can Miss Alice work hard to have a meal with me?"
Alice looked at the guy with a dark face, but before Alice could answer, Lieutenant Liesa pulled out the gun naturally and then pulled the bolt. Mastan immediately said: "Ah, that's the thing, I'm just joking. I hope Miss Alice won't be too sad. I'll leave first if I have something to do." After that, he quickly fled here as if he saw something ghost.
Lieutenant Lissa said to Alice: "Sorry, Colonel, although he spoke frivolously, his intention was good, and I hope you can understand."
Alice waved her hand casually: "Haha, Sister Lisa, you have to take care of him too."
Lisa smiled slightly and said, "Maybe, I'll say goodbye." After that, she left.
Looking at the two people leaving, Alice thought for a while and finally gave up looking for Edward and Al. She returned to the hotel to rest. The day passed quickly.
The next morning, Alice came to the Oriental Command to find Edward, and soon saw the two brothers and Lisa. Before Alice could greet him, she heard Edward ask, "Lieutenant, what's wrong with Nina and Tucker?"
Lisa hesitated and said. The central government has canceled Shu Tucker's national alchemist qualification and was originally scheduled to go to court, but both of them were dead."
"What!" Edward and Al were shocked, and Alice was surprised when she heard it.
"You will know sooner or later, so you hide it. To be honest, they were killed." Lisa said as she walked out: "We just received the news."
"How could it be, who did it?" The two brothers followed Lisa tightly.
"I don't know, I'm about to rush to the scene."
“We have to go there too.”
"no."
"Why?" The two seemed to be very confused.
Lisa stopped and looked at the two people seriously and said, "It's better not to see that tragic situation."
Edward and Al stopped looking at Lisa's serious expression. Lisa turned around and saw Alice standing at the door and said to her, "Take me there!"
"But you..."
"I'm not a child, and I want to see Nina for the last glance." Alice interrupted Lisa.
"Okay then." Lisa nodded.
When he saw Lisa, he wanted to take Alice to go and said quickly: "Lieutenant."
"Wait here!" Alice coldly gave up the two of them.
Alice and Lisa soon arrived at the scene. Mastan was with the people who came from the Central Army. A man wearing glasses saw Lisa bringing a strange woman, and turned his head and asked, "Who is this lady?"
"Edward's new student is named Alice." Mastan irritatedly and helped his hair wet with rain, and continued, "What are you doing here? This is not a place for you."
"I want to see Nina for the last look." Alice said coldly. "I'll leave after that."
When he heard that Alice was about to see the body, Mastan quickly reached out to stop him and said, "You can't see..."
Alice shook her body slightly and flashed behind him and reached out to open the canvas covering the body.
"Hey!" Mastan looked at Alice with great concern, afraid that she would faint.
"It looks like swallowing a bomb and exploded in his stomach." Alice did not show the phenomenon that Mastan expected to faint or vomit, but looked at the corpse very calmly. Then, Alice stroked Nina's cold head with her hand and said, "May your soul rest in peace with Nina." Looking at Alice who prayed for Nina again, no one knew what to say.
This is the man with eyes said, "It seems that the technique is exactly the same. The code name of the wounded man is not known, and his name is not known, and his weapon is not clear. The only information he knows is that there is a huge scar on his forehead, but there are no less than ten national alchemists who died in his hands."
After hearing this, Mastan nodded and said, "We have heard of it here. If we say that the only celebrities in this area are me and Tucker..." Suddenly, Mastan's face changed and he said to the soldiers next to him: "You guys, hurry up and see where the Ellik brothers are!"
"When Alice and I came out, I saw them walking along the road," Lisa said.
"Damn it!" Alice immediately understood that someone was going to be bad for Ed and Al. She ignored the others and rushed out of the glass. She jumped to the top of the building with force with her legs, and disappeared after a few dodges.
Looking at Alice who left violently, the man with his eyes held his chin and said, "What a tough woman, she is far from my one."
"I don't have time to hear you say this Hughes," Mustan shouted hurriedly: "Everyone is coming to the other side of the road right away."
Alice was rushing on the rooftop while trying to summon his treasure. However, no matter how Alice summoned, her treasure could not be summoned successfully. In the end, Alice had to project an ordinary Tang sword. Soon Alice came to the near road. Before Alice could quickly find it, a burst of dust appeared in the alley next to her. Then Ed was thrown out. For some reason, Ed angrily refined her mechanical armor into fist gloves and rushed over. Unfortunately, she was caught by a man wearing a yellow coat with a cross scar on his face and destroyed Edward's mechanical armor. Al, who was destroyed most of his body in the alley, shouted in horror: "Brother."
The wounded man ignored Al's shout and reached out his right hand to Edward and said, "You want God to pray!"
Suddenly, a voice inserted in: "You should be the one who prays."
The wounded man immediately jumped back when he heard the sound. As soon as he left a knife, he slashed at the place where he was standing before. He looked at the girl holding a knife and glared at him and asked, "Who are you?"
"Sister Alice." Al shouted in surprise when he saw Alice.
Alice stared at the wounded man and said, "If you murderer, if you want to kill Ed, first ask the knife in my hand whether you agree or not."
The wounded man looked at Alice and asked, "Are you going to get in the way of me?"
"You are interfering with me!" As he said that, Alice rushed over and raised her hand to look at the wounded man. The other party stretched out his right hand and looked at Alice. The knife directly decomposed it. Then he directly penetrated the broken iron piece and attacked Alice's head. Seeing that his weapon was destroyed by the opponent's right hand, he was shocked. Seeing that the opponent's hand had reached over. Given the previous destructive power, Alice directly sank and avoided the opponent's attack. Then he used the scabbard held by his left hand to swing the lower part of the scar man's right hand. However, the scar man was not simple. When he saw that the attack was lost, he immediately flashed the opposite direction to Alice and avoided Alice's combo.
Al said from the side: "Be careful, Sister Alice, that guy's right hand can destroy a lot of things, and even the walls that his brother has refined can be destroyed by him."
Alice threw away the broken weapon and said, "I know, I know that I saw him easily destroying Ed's mechanical armor before, but," while saying, projecting a pistol and saying, "I don't believe you can even destroy bullets."
Seeing Alice taking out a pistol like a magic trick and shooting at him, the scarred man quickly dodged and retreated to a corner of the wall, destroying the wall. Alice saw that the wall was destroyed by him and quickly retreated towards him. Before taking a few steps, the wounded man rushed out of the smoke and rushed straight to Alice's head with his right hand. Alice directly raised her head and dodged his attack. At the same time, the left hand holding the scabbard was not idle and swung directly at the wounded man's chin.
With a bang, the wounded man's sunglasses were knocked down by Alice's scabbard, revealing his red eyes. This was Mastan who came with a large group of men. Seeing the wounded man's red eyes, he said in surprise: "Ishval!"
This is when the wounded man saw that he was surrounded and could no longer kill the steel alchemist, he used his right hand to activate his ability on the ground, and a piece of smoke suddenly rose up. Soon the smoke dissipated and found that the wounded man had destroyed the ground and escaped into the sewer.
Seeing this, Mastan quickly ordered: "Why are you still standing there and go chase after me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alice quickly stopped him: "Wait for a moment, the man is too dangerous, don't go to die."
Mastan looked at the destroyed knife at Alice's feet, Edward, who had lost his right hand, and Al, whose body had been damaged, nodded and said, "Don't chase after you for the time being."
Hubble said: "Who dares to chase after you? That kind of person is a dangerous race that has crippled all the steel."
Mastan walked up to Alice and said, "Sorry, Miss Alice, I decided without authorization not to let the soldiers help you, but to rely on you to delay time to surround him. I am very sorry."
Alice said: "It's okay, I don't care. After all, you are a commander, so you have to think about the overall situation."
The man with glasses came out from somewhere and said, "Oh! It's over."
Mastan pointed to the man in glasses and introduced to Alice: "The person in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Mas Hughes Central is my friend," then said to Hughes angrily: "Where did you, Hughes, go?"
Hughes said righteously: "I'm hiding."
"You should be responsible for the support!" Mustan asked.
"It's so noisy, don't get me into the Expo stunt show of you monsters," Hughes said with confidence, and then Hughes looked at Alice and pushed his glasses and said, "But, this lady, you're really not simple."
Mastan frowned and said, "Hey, Hughes!"
"Ah haha, don't worry, I didn't see anything." Seeing Mastan's appearance, Hughes immediately smiled and patted his shoulder, and then ordered his subordinates to say, "Don't be stunned, go whatever you should do, martial law in the city, and flyers for wanted orders are issued."
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Edward ran directly to Al, but was scolded by Al. He looked at his miserable appearance and said, "We are really terrible, but... we are still alive and we have to continue walking."
Alice walked over and said, "You two are really not relieved."
Edward said awkwardly: "That, sorry..."
Alice touched Edward's head and said, "Why do you say sorry?"
"We're still worried about you."
"It's nothing, aren't you still alive? Then keep going and accomplish your goals. Remember not to give up hope at any time. Those who give up hope will become walking dead without goals."
"Yeah." Edward looked at Alice and agreed with a smile.
