For a whole month, the Mysterious Research Institute in Central City secretly staged a tentative chase and escape almost every other day.

The one who ran away was Bai Erzak, who was still relying on illusion before coming here, and the one who was chasing was the guy who seemed to be Kusuo Saiki who didn't know what went wrong.

Regardless of the consideration of the superiority of force or the balance of pros and cons, Bai should not stay here for a long time.This dilapidated place where corpses are continuously transported in has proved through its strange performance that it hides extremely deep secrets. Not only that, there is also an extremely powerful guard guarding here every step of the way. Obviously, those who know this secret have thought about it. Very thoughtful.

However, for him now, although he still wanted to explore the secrets of the research institute, his priority was temporarily interrupted by another matter.

After being injured for the first time, Bai found a tavern in the central city to stay, and since then laid the foundation for a long-term battle.He ran unrelentingly to the research institute every night, just when he noticed that the corpse was still being transported in quietly, he was discovered by the overly sensitive guards before sneaking into the main entrance underground, was attacked, dodged with injuries, and finally fled quickly , Go back to the tavern and wait until the second day and night, and then repeat the above process for a cycle.

Bai's tossing around like this is not for the purpose of being abused.

At first, he thought that the former cousin who really followed him to this world might not be able to recognize him because of accidental amnesia, and he still maintained a little stability in his heart.But following the next few trials, he noticed something was wrong.

The situation is much worse than first imagined.

Not only did that person suffer from amnesia, but he seemed to have a problem with himself... How should I describe it... Lost?No, it's more like...

The underground guard has always been hiding in the dark alone. Except for the researchers who were there, there are no other guards, as if blatantly declaring that he is enough to leave this place alone.

This person's ability is also quite strange, Bai confirmed that his illusion definitely had an effect, but the opponent broke through decisively under the premise of being confused by the illusion, as if launching an attack based on intuition, without hesitation, a shot is enough to seize A cruel move for human life.Bai couldn't enter the interior of the research institute, and all he could do was try to get closer step by step, other than fleeing in embarrassment.

He happened to reach the closest distance the day before he ended his nightly probing behavior.

At the risk of his heart being completely pierced by the invisible wind blade, the body of the boy covered in dark gray shadows fell forward. Before the hood lifted by the wind trembled due to this movement, there was a piercing rattling sound, like In an instant, it was pierced by a sharp and slender weapon, and in the next instant it rushed down, passing through the only left ankle on the same line.

"Tsk—"

The ankle bone was naturally pierced, as if it was strung together from the floor by that thing. If you look down at this time, you will be able to see blood splashing like a broken glass vessel.

In the night, Bai's expression changed briefly, but this detail is not enough to tell.Taking advantage of this opportunity, as he slid down, his left hand pressed down on the chest above the guard's heart with great precision.

[No heartbeat. 】

Cursing secretly, his expression changed again.

What I didn't expect was that the dark night sky above my head also changed. Perhaps the dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and the crescent moon that was revealed cast some white light on the earth. The appearance is revealed.

The other party couldn't see him, but he could see the cold light flashing in the dark purple pupils.

This man is older than he is now.Even if it is less than twenty, there are still ten 78, even more mature than the image in his vague memory——

For a moment, their eyes collided with each other.For some reason, the guard's reaction seemed inconspicuously slow for a second, and Bai unceremoniously took advantage of the gap of this second, raised his arms and gave a strong support before falling face down, and then dexterously flipped out. The façade of the institute.

According to the fixed law, the range of activities of the guards is only the research institute. As long as Bai stands anywhere outside the wall, he will not chase after him, just like a machine that perfectly executes known programs—that is, to a certain extent, he is Laziness seems to be no problem?

Bai was very satisfied with his "program". After escaping from the dangerous area, he had expressed his appreciation many times.

However, starting from this departure, he no longer needs to appreciate it.

The nightly activities of infiltrating the institute come to an end.

As for the reason for the end, it wasn't that he chose to give up after many setbacks, or that he was too lazy to care about the amnesiac and let him fend for himself...but his own problem.

His body can no longer support his next infiltration, so he needs to avoid it under the impetus of a sense of crisis.

It's just that there was a conflict between reason and emotion, and he was not happy in his heart.

Bai didn't go back to the tavern, he still wrapped himself in the gray cloak (the cloak was still missing half), leaned on the wall, and walked slowly to the train station. Since he had no money left, he had no choice but to brazenly evade the fare. Climb aboard the train bound for Liesenberg.

Moreover, in order not to stain the seats and floors in the train carriages, he simply sat on the top of the penultimate carriage, wrapped his bleeding left leg with a bandage, and watched the white strips be wiped off in a short while. Soaked in blood, he could only frown and lay on the roof of the car with his arms on his head, looking at the night sky.

Shoulders, belly, ankles...

These parts are the wounds he has suffered in the past month.

Here, what needs to be mentioned is the fact that Bai Elric noticed at the beginning of this life.

Alchemists need to rely on equivalent exchange in order to get what he wants to have, and this principle of "equal exchange" is equivalent to the root and support of this world. Follow the law of equivalent exchange.

Bai is no exception.

However, for him, the exchange of equal value is more stringent.Because he is not an ignorant newborn, as an "outsider", he wants to bring in the memory of almost precious treasures and the Sharingan hidden in his soul, and the "god" of this world makes him pay a price in exchange .

Because he has his own unique ability, he does not have any potential to use alchemy in this life, so he cannot become an alchemist.

Later, it was speculated that because of his kaleidoscope's ability to alternate reality and reality, Bai Elric paid the exact opposite price.The wounds he had suffered could not be healed by alchemy or any medicine, and could only be healed gradually after a certain period of time.During this period, all the negative effects caused by the pain are present, and the only advantage is that it will not lead to death. Therefore, there will be situations where the blood supply has been kept for a month or two, but he has not yet turned into a mummy.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed the principle of equivalent exchange.

"God" upholds the same fairness to all things, and because of this, those things that are external and whose energy may break the balance will also pay...

——What price will that guy pay?

Bai was harassed by the pain all the time, but he couldn't stop thinking about another question.

No memory, no heartbeat, a feeling, it seems that there is still a problem of lack of emotion...

Can't help being upset.

This is the first time after Bai came here, he was obviously affected, and his heart was so disturbed.

The green leather train rumbled and rumbled through the darkness circled by the railroad tracks, and it also took the young boy with a cloud of gray on top away from the central city.

Before the train drove out of the plain, he sat up and looked straight ahead at the impenetrable city even though it was brightly lit.

Later, Central City, the Presidential Palace.

It was already late at night, except for the guards patrolling around the mansion, everyone else should have fallen asleep.However, the lights in the Grand President's office remained on.

A muffled voice came from inside.

"...In the past month, the Institute has been invaded many times, and the identity of the intruder has not yet been identified. Why haven't you heard about this matter?"

The voice that came first was deeper, and belonged to an elderly man.

The other voice was cold and without any emotion.

"My mission has been completed."

The real meaning of disdain to say a few more words is that his mission is limited to guarding the research institute, and other things have nothing to do with him.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The man seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he finished speaking casually, skipped the previous topic, and asked a different question: "Don't be impatient, the last question. About the mysterious the intruders—"

"Sage, didn't you catch him?"

The silence lasted for a short time, and soon, a responding voice appeared.

"died."

"Oh?"

"I killed him—no body left."

There was still no emotional ups and downs in the voice, as plain as if murder was just the most ordinary trivial matter.

After many years, Edward and Al Ling's little girl, Wen Li, finally returned to her parents who were dragged into the battlefield as a military doctor.

Fortunately, they survived until the end of the Isbal annihilation battle, and they were able to drive home in a hurry.It was a horse-drawn cart that carried the adults up the hillside, and the young couple sat on the cart, staggering all the way, and finally saw the little blonde girl running down from the mountainside, and the girl who was caught by her. The little girl dumped the two boys who were far away.

Wen Li is a good friend of the Elric brothers. The parents of the good friend took good care of the children in the past. Now that they came back, Edward and Al went with Wen Li.

Of course, I was still a little awkward.

Because a certain elder brother who said he was going home three months ago has not returned yet, and the letter has also been broken.

Edward was sulking for a while at first, and being appeased by his good brother Al didn't help. He just wanted to wait another week, and when Bai Erzak came home, he must show his face.As a result, I waited for a week and a week without seeing anyone, and my anger subsided unconsciously, replaced by panic.

Is it possible to meet... Impossible, impossible, can't think...

In short, it is panic.

But at this moment, when the two little boys came down from the mountainside and ran to the stopped cart, they found that Wen Li didn't cry with her parents in her arms as expected.

On the contrary, the little girl seemed to have heard the movement, and looked back at them with a strange expression.

Edward froze, and Al already grabbed his sleeve nervously.

"It's Edward and Al, they've grown so tall..."

Wen Li's father said gently, but did not attract the attention of the Elric brothers.

This is also excusable.

The eyes of the two brothers coincidentally fell on the cart exposed between the two adults. In that area, the bottom layer should be a layer of straw, but at this time, the first thing they saw was a large piece of black cloth.

The black cloth has obvious radians, outlining the shape of the human body.And where the black cloth did not cover, the pale wrist, and blood...

The breeze came again, and the two corners of the black cloth were blown up, revealing the familiar face with closed eyes underneath.

Edward: "..."

Al: "..."

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Bai Elric, who was a little dizzy from blood loss, fell asleep on the way: What's going on, should I open my eyes?

Cough, about that black cloth.

You can only sleep if you block the sun.
