Chapter 175
Ashes and Lieutenant Lisa left the sewers. It was already afternoon, and their adventure in the sewers had come to an end. Ashes looked at Lieutenant Lisa and said goodbye with a smile, "Goodbye, farewell, Lieutenant Lisa, take my place."
Say hello to Colonel Mustang!"
Lisa said helplessly, "He is not doing very well now. Mr. Ashes, you are too harsh... Colonel, he has a dislocated shoulder, two broken ribs, and some internal bleeding... He has been in the hospital recently...
It’s really a bit miserable…”
Hui Jing laughed awkwardly, and explained with erratic eyes, "Well... this is indeed my problem. I haven't had a serious fight for a long time... The colonel is a rare opponent, so he attacks unconsciously.
It’s a little heavy, so please apologize for me and I’ll see you later. Goodbye!”
Ashes really couldn't stand Lisa's sharp eyes, so he turned around and ran away. After all, he was really a bit heavy-handed at the time and almost beat Mustang to death on the spot...
Looking at the leaving ashes, Lisa sighed helplessly, then looked at the sewer behind her thoughtfully, and turned to leave... What happened today is really a bit difficult to understand, I have to take a good look at it, and then
Just tell Colonel Mustang everything you saw today...
…
Time passed by quietly, and Ashes had no time to go to the sewers to take a look at the situation, but there was almost no harvest... It was really frustrating. As for the Sewer Salary King, there was no second one after that.
Caught by Ashes…
As for the strange corpse, when Ashes went to visit him again, it was completely rotten... The stench emitted directly persuaded Ashes to retreat. It seemed that his sword had defeated this man-eating man...
Ashes thinks so...
But in fact, there is a reason why this corpse has not decayed. The soul sediments have always been in this corpse, maintaining the state of the corpse. However, Ashes' knife removed these soul sediments from the belly of the corpse.
Once it comes out, there will be nothing to protect the body anymore... It is normal for it to rot...
On the contrary, there was a breakthrough on the side of Hughes and Mustang... Through some traces, Mustang found some information after being discharged from the hospital, and combined with some things Lisa told him, Mustang noticed that the changes in the sewers were
Gradually...not suddenly.
A few years ago, sewer maintenance workers witnessed reports of big rats in the sewers, but the military did not pay attention to them. After that, there were some reports every now and then. After a period of time, such reports stopped abruptly.
…No more problems like this…
Mustang felt that who might have blocked the news and passed this information to Hughes through some methods agreed with Hughes, and Hughes conveyed the situation to Ashes...
At this moment, Hui Jin's face was very ugly when he heard the news... He knew what this meant, which meant that there was indeed something that was constantly producing human sediment, and then continuously flowing into the sewer, but
But I can't find its source...
This is really worrying Ashes to death... So is the huge corpse he saw that day... This is obviously the state of those crazy people who believe in Yousu and eat gods. People eat people, and then accumulate the precipitation of people's hearts... This is not bad, this
Isn’t the world about to have a god of food? Is there a god in this world who will give him food?
Ashes really can't remember. There are too many things involved in this world... It's normal not to remember. But this is not the key... As long as you find what you need, you can use your own powerful power to save it.
After entering the world, you can retire with success...
So what if there really is a god-eating god? I am not fooled by this! But... the problem now is that I can't find it... The soul radar that I am so proud of is like trash when it reaches the ground in the center... I can't find it at all.
North, let alone precise positioning...
Ashes also has some speculations about the specific reason, that is, the amount of souls gathered in the sewers is a bit large...
Ordinary substances naturally cannot block Ashes' perception, but... things with soul power are hard to say... The soul residues mixed in the sewers are like haze, making the Ashes lidar that can accurately guide completely lose its effect.
…
At this moment, Hui Jin felt as uncomfortable as some people who had been deceived... It was as if his very high-end nuclear-powered submarine had been completely paralyzed with a bundle of kelp...
Ashes lay like a salted fish in Hughes' hut, looking at the ceiling and sighing that he was really a lone hero. He was so weak at the moment. Even if he had the power of heaven, he could not catch it from the vast sea.
The fish you want...and then turn him into a salted fish like yourself...
The fireproof girl on the side looked at the embarrassed Lord Ashes... and said helplessly, "Master Ashes... aren't you going to go out and continue to look for clues to the target today?"
Hui Jin turned over and muttered unhappily, "What clue... I can't find it. It's impossible to find clues. It's impossible to find clues in this life. You can only maintain your life by staying in bed..."
"Ha~ Master Ashes, you are really..." The fire prevention girl held her forehead, looked at the ashes rolling on the bed, and sighed helplessly...
At this moment, Hughes, who had been missing for several days, suddenly burst out of the door. He looked at Hui Jin nervously and said, "Something is wrong, Hui Jin, something really happened now!"
"What's the matter...so anxious? Is it possible that your wife has discovered your fetish for cross-dressing? It doesn't matter, I believe you won't be afraid, the cross-dressing man is fearless!" Ashes turned over and teased Hughes.
Hughes was stunned when he heard Hui Jin's words, shook his head and said eagerly, "Now is not the time to joke, rats...those rats..."
Ashes suddenly sat up, looked at the anxious Hughes and asked with a frown, "Rat? What happened to the mouse? Is it possible that it rushed to the street?"
Hughes was stunned again, looked at Ashes and asked blankly, "How do you know?"
Hui Huan looked confused... Of course I was just guessing! I didn't expect that he actually rushed to the street. This is too awesome. Didn't you say that you are not allowed to become a spirit? Is this my problem?
…
"Father, something bad has happened. The number of rats has begun to increase. They can't be killed no matter how hard they are killed. The sewers can no longer accommodate them... Now they have begun to attack our base and the laboratories connected to the underground..."
In the dark basement, Enwei looked at his father who was sitting firmly in his seat with his eyes closed, and said anxiously.
…
"What's the situation? Don't be so impatient. If you have anything to do, tell me slowly..." Father slowly opened his eyes, looked at the anxious Envi below, and said with a frown.
Envi took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at his father who was staring at him and said, "It's like this. The number of rats started to increase dramatically a few days ago for some unknown reason... They are completely uncontrollable. Gu
Radney is the same. He refuses to eat rats no matter what he says... Now the rats have almost rushed out of the sewers and onto the streets..."
Father closed his eyes again and said slowly, "Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future... you go find Lars."
…
Roy Mustang is very irritable now... Who has he provoked? He has just been discharged from the hospital and is ready to show off his talents. He will expose the conspiracy of this country, ascend to the throne of the president, and then change the uniforms of all female soldiers.
Into miniskirts, no! Change miniskirts into uniform clothing for girls across the country!
Mustang, who was thinking this way, suddenly received an order from above... telling him to go to a nearby research institute. Where to go... to get rid of rats?
Originally, Mustang was going to scold the lieutenant general who assigned him the task... But when he thought about the adventure record that Lieutenant Lisa brought back to him a few days ago, he felt that things were not that simple...
Is the mouse in the research institute? Looking at the map, Mustang is keenly aware that the mouse mentioned in this mission should be the huge calf-like mouse that Lisa mentioned. Otherwise, he would not have mobilized himself like this.
A state alchemist goes to do this kind of work...
According to the clues, these rats are not large in size and only move in the sewers... This time they ran into the research institute, which means... I finally have a chance to get in front of Ashes and Hughes! Finally, I don’t have to be in front of them.
It’s a waste from behind!
Thinking of this, Mustang happily accepted the order and led his team towards the target research institute...
After accepting the order, Mustang received a specific report about this mission. Just as he thought, it was a group of huge rats. The report said that it was caused by the failure of the synthetic beast experiment... But as someone who has been exposed to this kind of
Lisa, who is familiar with things, concluded at a glance that this kind of monster is not as simple as a simple synthetic beast...
After all... she had never heard of any beast that could spit out thunder... and it made that troublesome thing for Ashes, who was not afraid of anything and was not afraid of the excitement.
As soon as the group of people walked out of their office, they met Brother Elric and Major Armstrong. Looking at the information in each other's hands, the group of people felt that something was not normal...
Major Armstrong was the first to ask, "Is it your mission... to get rid of rats?" Edward nodded straightforwardly.
Mustang frowned, looked at the two of them and asked seriously, "Where is your location?"
"Third Research Institute..."
"First Research Institute..."
Mustang looked at the destination marked in his hand "The Fourth Research Institute..." and felt that things were starting to get troublesome. It seemed that the Second Research Institute should also be there, but it should be handled by other alchemists...
