[Steel] The end of the door

After the new year, the next spring, the appointed day, the moment when the sun and the moon overlap.

Seeing that the date of the appointment was getting closer, Qiao Xifu kept herself locked in the laboratory for a longer period of time.Accompanied by the scribbled traces on the notes, it showed her increasingly irritable mood.

She is facing a difficult choice.She also didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong, whether she could play any role on the agreed date, and whether she could stop the behavior of that lord father.

The road ahead was at a loss.She had the illusion that she was standing in the middle of a single-plank bridge, and both sides of the river bank were covered with thorns, and she was in a dilemma.But she can't blame anyone, because everything is her own choice.

How do you say that.no Zuo no Die.It suits her perfectly.

The laboratory is also filled with mountains of books, some for deception, some for what she really needs, but very few.Now they're all piled up in the corner and moldy.Because the master has done her research.And the decadent discovery that everything is in vain.

Seeing that the time is getting closer and closer to the solar eclipse, there are still a few hours left.Joshiff grabbed the chalk on the ground.

Under the dim light, the figure reflected on the wall swayed.The chalk scratched across the ground, making a slightly harsh sound.Qiao Xifu focused on every stroke and every symbol in front of her eyes.As if facing the most solemn ceremony.And in a sense, this is indeed a solemn ceremony.

Even at this moment, she is still hesitating whether to open the door.To bet on an uncertain possibility.

After a long time, the training formation formed by the human body was completed with the final sound. Joshiff stood beside the training formation, looked at the formation that she had drawn on the ground, and sighed long.Muttering in a low voice.

"Well, I think that as Josie Joestar, who has an adventurous spirit, she is more willing to be a gambler in her heart. Even if the price is really heavy."

As she spoke, she stepped cautiously into the center of the formation, and cut her fingers with a dagger.Bloodshots quickly overflowed the skin, condensed into water droplets, and dripped to the ground.

On the table, the small bottle containing the Philosopher's Stone shone with a strange red light, but was quietly forgotten by the owner.

A burst of blue light lit up.Black tentacles appeared from the ground for no reason, grabbing Joshiff's body, and the body began to disintegrate the moment it touched the tentacles.

Unknown fear filled her heart, and Josh couldn't help but scream.In the next second, she was already in a pure white world, and another self appeared in front of her.Sitting in front of a tall and abrupt door.

She knew that this was the truth.

"Yo, Josheff Joestar. Here you go again. I've been waiting a long time."

"Yeah, I'm back again." Joshiff said through gritted teeth, staring fixedly at her other self, which was the truth.

Seeing that Truth changed his movements, it seemed that he asked in order to make himself sit more comfortably. "So, have you thought about the price to pay again?"

"Of course." Joshiff frowned slightly.

"Are you sure?" Truth asked.Then added. "Once your decision is made this time, there is no way for you to change it."

Joshiff bit her lip, her struggling gaze became firm. "I'm sure." She nodded emphatically.As if about to let go of something important.

"Okay, Josh the Gambler, I will do what you wish." Truth said.The finger points to the door behind her. "The road to the future is here. Once you step out of here, you will lose everything you once had in this world. It's too late to regret it now."

"No." Josh Fu said, walking towards the door without any hesitation.One second before the door was about to be opened, she turned her head and looked at the truth.

"This decision may be wrong, but the root of human nature lies in greed and innocent thoughts. Unfortunately, I am very greedy."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Xifu turned her head, opened the door decisively and left.Outside the door, dim lights flickered.

Ever since she recalled the moment she saw the Gate of Truth, she had been waiting, waiting to find her memories.Even if, the price is that she will forget everything she has experienced in the past seven years, the people she loves, and the alchemy she is proud of.

----

The laboratory is cold and damp, with cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door, the lights flickering, and piles of books filling most of the room.Several military uniforms and a thick quilt were piled up on a low bed, which was in a mess. Beside the bed was an equally messy desk with stacks of research reports piled up on it. The most attractive thing was a candle lamp A small transparent bottle next to it.Inside the bottle was a beautiful red crystal, which shone with a charming and sinister light under the light.

Joshiff didn't know why, she felt that the things in the bottle were not very good.

She looked around first, then lowered her head, looking at her attire, it wasn't the shirt and skirt she wore at Hogwarts, but a blue military uniform.Calculating quickly in her mind, her hands touched her chest, which felt a little heavy, and scratched, it was soft and elastic.Suddenly a little moved.This feel is definitely c.Josie Joestar doesn't have such heavy little troubles.

Walking to the desk in a few steps, he picked up the report with familiar handwriting on the desk, flipped through a few pages, and confirmed that it was his own notes. Carefully knocked down the candlestick, causing a sea of ​​fire.

"Ohmygod!" The experiment report in her hand was thrown behind her, and a trace of panic appeared on Joshiff's subconscious face.A whispered incantation came from her mouth. "A clear spring is like water." The condensation of water vapor in the already cold and humid air was faster than before, and the small-scale fire was quickly extinguished, only some books and notes were burned.

Whether to go out to find Teacher Elric or finish reading these books that may contain hidden codes first, Joshive weighed in her mind, put on a clean military coat without hesitation, and picked up the dangerous book from the table. The little bottle of sex, brushed her hair, pushed the door and walked out.

Walking out of the room full of books, she intuitively walked all the way towards the road she thought could lead to the outside, but found that she couldn't find the exit after walking for a long time, and she didn't see anyone.

Could it be that she has entered some infinite world!Truth really didn't send her in the wrong place?Thinking of this in her heart, Qiao Xifu walked forward along the road in fear.

She didn't remember how long she had been away, it should have been a long time, and gradually she could hear some fighting sounds.Just as she was about to run quickly, eyes appeared on the ground for no reason, like a quagmire where her legs could not be pulled out, swallowing her effortlessly.

"What the hell is this!" Joshiff cursed in a low voice, and was taken away by the familiar black tentacles.Pass through the chaotic maze-like world of truth, and suddenly land in a room full of pipes and instruments.

What fell with her was Edward, whom she thought about day and night.

"Lieutenant Joestar?" Edward had never seen this alchemist standing in the artificial human camp since he saw Josheff last time.He looked at Qiao Xifu, and suddenly thought that the other party had actually opened the door of truth, that is to say, the other party was also a human pillar!

However, Josh Fu's next sentence made him feel that something was wrong.

"Teacher Elric!" Joshiff stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that she would see Edward so soon.She thought that she would at least hit a few class enemies and pass through some dangerous fortifications.You know, in the novels in fantasy adventure, the hero and heroine are all adventurous like this!

shock!Edward was wary of Josie's abnormality, his golden eyes narrowed slightly.She seemed to be thinking about what Joshiff wanted to do this time.

"I..." Joshiff looked at Edward, then turned around, and looked behind her. The strange eyes were eating people?The food seemed to be Mr. Elric's father, Hohenheim.She remembered every word Edward had said.I have also seen photos of Hohenheim, which seems to be like this.

"Did I go to the wrong set?" Josh Fu's question seemed like a cold joke in the abrupt, tense air.

"Truth is cruel, no attempt at self-knowledge..."

"Ah—" a woman's scream came, and Josh Fu covered her face with her hands and squatted on the ground.Howl. "Eyes are weird! Talking! Really spoke! Tell me this is not true! This is a ripple! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! Why did a weak, innocent, and pitiful girl like me see such a terrible scene! The eye of the needle will grow."

Halfway through the line, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and I have contacted my father countless times about how to pretend to be x: "..."

Edward, who was furious at first, said: "..." It seems that this Joestar Lieutenant is really a little strange, just like the kind of drama actor who performed on stage, his movements are so fake.So, does Lieutenant Joestar still have such a hobby?

The air was extremely silent, only Josh Fu squatted on the ground and performed a performance that made people feel speechless.

Alphonse, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved, and his consciousness returned to his body.

Father looked at the few people in front of him, his voice tinged with excitement. "Finally got five people together."

"One, two, three, four...five." Joshiff counted the heads in a low voice, and found that she seemed to be one of the five people mentioned by the monster with eyes.This realization made her feel a little unhappy.

The little Douding girl who appeared next made Josh Fu slightly frown.Everything was different, different from the past that Teacher Edward had told her.This also means that all her efforts to change Edward's fate are ridiculous behaviors!

Travel through space, from one world to another.Let go of all ties, siblings, parents, friends.There is no going back.These thoughts made Qiao Xifu look like a beaten eggplant, and her expression was gloomy.It wasn't until she was thrown to the ground, an explosion occurred where she was originally standing, and she was slapped, that she escaped from a sad expression.

Izmi Kadis slapped Josheff hard on the face. "Hey, come back to your senses." Obviously, her actions were not in vain.

Rubbing the face that was obviously at a different height from the other cheek, Joshiff looked at the few people who were fighting.Standing up from the ground, he patted his dusty clothes.muttered under his breath.

"Although the reality is a bit different from the assumption, as long as the goal can be achieved, it's fine." After she finished speaking, she was about to open her mouth to chant a spell, but when she realized that the battle was too fierce, she couldn't lock the target at all, and covered her face in frustration.

"It's almost time." My father slightly raised his head and glanced at the direction above his head. The black tentacles restrained the human pillar he had chosen arbitrarily, and then, an ominous, red alchemy light lit up.

———The dividing line of war, all kinds of training bursts of light flying together, the familiar strategy of Ed's fighting monsters.

When Edward knocked down his father with his last punch.The villain in the flask, the cyborg disappeared with endless anger and resentment.A sense of loss arose in Joshiff's heart, and then she sat on the spot slumped.

It's all over?No, Alphonse hasn't come back yet. Could it be that Alphonse is the one who goes to the other side of the door in this world?No, Mr. Elric must not be able to bear the death of his brother...

Suddenly, a force came from his shoulder.Joshiff raised her head blankly, and saw a blue figure.

"Master Mustang?" Vaguely relying on Edward's words to describe this black-bellied, capricious, and unscrupulous officer, Joshiff asked uncertainly.

"Josheff."

In the arena, Edward was sinking, then suddenly thought of something, and drew a human body formation on the ground with an iron rod. "I'll come back as soon as I go, this is the final practice of Fullmetal Alchemist."

Joshiff looked at Edward's movements in astonishment, but couldn't stop her.Her mind once again recalled the lonely old man in the picture frame, crying heartbreakingly. "Mr. Elric—"

She screamed, and the next second, the blue light of alchemy lit up again, and Edward appeared with the bony Alphonse on his arm.Unable to believe what she saw, Josh was crying with snot running down her nose and tears overflowing.His body trembled, as if he had received the best gift in the world.

Her favorite teachers Elric and Alphonse are still alive.

The author has something to say: If I say, this is the end of the story.Will you hit me?

Well, in fact, there is still a follow-up chapter + a small episode.
