Chapter 1763 Zhongdu

Ai Li covered her face with a hood, took out a 'cleaning in progress' sign and placed it at the door of the toilet. Then she hid aside, holding a newspaper and watching the people around her vigilantly.

I'm afraid someone might accidentally get in there.

About two hours later, after seeing the owner come out, he secretly went over and put the sign away again.

Then he saw Lassiter, who was weak all over and holding on to the wall with a confused look on his face.

What happened just now, I felt so emotional and fragmented.

Oh, by the way, I'm here to monitor and protect Steel Boy, where are the others?

Oops, gotta catch up soon.

Rust, who had forgotten about Dr. Mark, boarded the last train again and hurried to Edward's hometown...

…

"who are you?"

When Mark returned home, he saw Xu Yue sitting on his desk with a shocked expression on his face.

His back was pressed against the wall, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Dr. Mark, don't be so hostile. Didn't you give the data location to Xiaodouding?"

Xu Yue raised his hand to signal Dr. Mark not to be nervous.

But his words stimulated the amiable-looking middle-aged man even more, and he slapped his palm against the wall.

The wall directly turned into a thorn and shot towards Xu Yue.

But Xu Yue easily dodged it sideways.

"I have told you that I have no ill intentions. If I hadn't helped you temporarily block Rust, I'm afraid you would be in real trouble now. After all, you have the potential to become a human pillar, and they will not let you escape their control."

Xu Yue shrugged, as if he really couldn't do anything to you.

"Ah!"

However, Dr. Mark didn't believe Xu Yue's punctuation mark, so he changed it to both hands this time.

The denser soil thorns were covering Xu Yue.

Faced with this, Xu Yue could only raise his hands helplessly.

There is no way, I don't have the physique of Ellie here.

Touch~

As soon as the countless soil thorns touched Xu Yue, they suddenly decomposed and turned into fine grains of sand, which fell to the ground.

All attacks were dealt with easily.

Until now, Mark was stunned and stopped attacking.

That was just now...

No formation can be made instantly? Directly decomposed his attack in an instant?

A bit exaggerated...

If you have such strength to deal with yourself, then there really is no need to say anything more.

After so many years of hiding in Tibet, Dr. Mark also knew that he was a little too sensitive after all.

The same goes for the two alchemists from before.

"Sorry, I was too excited."

Mark, who forced himself to calm down, apologized to Xu Yue.

"If you did stop the person who was chasing me, then I would also like to express my gratitude."

"Although I stopped her and used some special means to make her temporarily forget about you, she will remember you sooner or later, so you'd better move when you are free."

Xu Yue reminded him kindly.

"I will. Your Excellency came to me for the Philosopher's Stone. I..."

"No, I have read your works in the Zhongdu Library. I know what you want to express, both superficially and deeply."

Xu Yue smiled and came here just to return a favor.

This Dr. Mark was the team leader who participated in the development of the Philosopher's Stone. He secretly escaped after discovering the real truth.

Originally, this time because he was found by Edward and the others, he was also controlled by Rust afterwards, but because of Xu Yue's intervention, he apparently escaped.

"It turns out you already knew. Thank you for your help."

Mark couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that his greatest value was the development data of the Philosopher's Stone.

Obviously, everyone has already obtained it and accurately reported the location of the information, so why not come here?

It's true that he has no other thoughts about himself, and he really means well.

And inexplicably, Mark also felt that the pressure that had been plaguing him was relieved a lot.

Keeping those secrets, living on his last breath, hiding here and there, his heart was stretched to the limit.

Now that someone shared this secret, he felt a sudden drop in pressure.

Especially the one who shares secrets is still a strong person!

"I don't know your name, but since you already know the secret hidden underneath, I still beg you, beg you to think of a way to stop them, I..., I am really powerless!"

Mark suddenly bowed deeply to Xu Yue.

"Stop it, I will stop it of course."

Xu Yue said with a melancholy tone.

"But not now..."

"Okay, remember to hide well so you don't get found again. I'm leaving first."

Xu Yue waved his hand, and then left Mark's residence directly.

Let Mark watch from behind in a daze, and then quickly entered the house and began to pack away the belongings.

If everyone came over to remind him, then he would never take any chances.

He knew the methods of that group of people.

If I continue to stay here, I will not only harm myself, but also probably everyone nearby...

…

Edward went home and spent several days repairing his arm.

His childhood sweetheart, the great mechanic Wen Li, stayed up late for several days to make a new arm for him.

Edward then personally restored his brother Alphonse's armor.

"It's almost time to go to Zhongdu."

After waving his arms, Edward also showed a look of excitement on his face.

After getting information about the Philosopher's Stone from Dr. Mark, no matter how much he persuaded himself, he would definitely go and see it!

So what if it really opens the door to hell?

It has always been my dream to use the Philosopher's Stone to restore the bodies of myself and my brother!

With this belief in mind, Brother Edward continued his journey to Zhongdu under the escort of Armstrong.

And Lassiter, who finally caught up with them again, felt a little confused for no reason.

"Zhongdu? Why, where are they going at this time? Didn't they return to Dongdu after repairing their arm?"

Rust, who kept thinking about something, seemed to feel that he had forgotten something very important.

Hmm~

Suddenly, Rust's face turned crimson, his eyes were hazy, his feet went weak and he suddenly held on to the railing next to him, many flashing scenes flashed through his mind.

I recalled many memories that were originally fragmented.

"Damn it!"

Not sure who he was scolding, Luster spat and hurriedly boarded the train.

No matter what, the plan must come first.

And if that guy Gangzi gets the original information, it might really be possible for him to figure out something...

…

"Junior brother, I really thank you for your hard work this time."

In a villa in Zhongdu, Jiaren, who had become a national alchemist, looked at Qingchuan with a broken arm in front of him and showed emotion.

It's not easy for junior brother either. After being randomly teleported, his severely injured body crawled and rolled and finally came to Zhongdu and brought back such important information.

Even the Big Tengu can be defeated, and that kid Teruhito is making all kinds of noises and cooperating with the Penguin people?

Very good, if the ambush is prepared in advance, there is nothing to worry about!

Two updates completed!
