Because I woke up suddenly during the day today, I felt sleepy in the afternoon, and then my mind was confused and I didn't write much. I didn't feel satisfied after writing it, so I could only type out these two chapters. Thank you very much!

===================

"What's wrong, Aye?"

Ito Cheng, who had just walked out of the Rubik's Cube world, asked Aye who was hanging up the phone.

"Someone called just now and said that Edward was hospitalized. I hope you can go over and see him. Edward seems to have something to tell you." Yaye said, reciting the contents of the phone call.

"Really? Then I'll go and have a look." Ito Cheng nodded.

"Then this is the address of the hospital and his ward number." Aye turned around and picked up a small note from the phone and handed it to Ito Cheng's hand.

"Well, I'm leaving then." Ito Cheng took the note, glanced at it quickly, wrote down the address on the note, then grabbed the coat on the side, put it on, left home and walked towards the hospital.

…

"This is Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric's hospital room."

In front of a certain ward in the hospital, Ito Cheng asked two soldiers, a man and a woman, who were standing guard outside the door.

"Yes, this is it, who are you?" said the pretty good-looking female soldier with short black hair, a round face, and a small black hemorrhoid under her left eye.

"You tell him that Ito is here and he will understand." Ito said.

"Please wait a moment." The female soldier nodded, turned around and knocked on the door. After getting permission, she walked into the ward and walked out quickly. She said respectfully, "You can go in."

"Thank you." Ito Cheng nodded to her, walked past her and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Who is that person?" Next to the female soldier, a slightly thin male soldier, the same height as the female soldier, with golden neck-length hair, stretched his head and asked quietly.

"How do I know?" the female soldier replied angrily.

"Hey, I'm here." In the room, Ito Cheng greeted Edward with a smile, completely ignoring the two men in military uniforms and Alphonse next to him.

"You bastard, why do I have the urge to punch you hard when I see your smiling expression?" Edward said with tangled features.

"Well, who knows. Why don't you introduce these two to me?" Ito Cheng replied to Edward in a rogue manner, and then looked at the two officers on the side and asked.

"Damn it." Edward cursed, but still introduced the two of them to Ito Cheng. First, he pointed at a middle-aged man with short black hair, a rectangular face, rimless glasses on his eyes, and a bearded face and said, "This is Lieutenant Colonel Masius..."

Masius nodded politely to Ito Cheng when Edward introduced him, and observed Ito Cheng with scrutiny in his eyes.

Then he pointed at another white man 2 meters tall, with a burly build, a bald head with only a handful of golden hair on his forehead, and two beautiful golden beards on his face, and said, "This is Alec Major Louis Armstrong."

Major Armstrong extended his right hand cheerfully and said "Hello" at the same time.

"Hello" Ito Cheng shook hands with Armstrong and nodded. After letting go, he greeted Lieutenant Colonel Mas again.

"This is Cheng Cheng, who is a national alchemist like me and has the title of [Sora]." Edward introduced.

"After the introduction, you asked me to come to see you for whatever reason. I don't remember that our relationship was good enough to discuss things together." Ito Cheng stood aside and asked.

"I'm talking about you..." Edward was aroused by Ito Cheng's tone, and his tone immediately became bad.

"Hey, it's business now." Mathius quickly spoke to comfort Edward and said.

Edward took a deep breath to calm down, pointed to the pile of papers on the small table in front of him and said, "Look at these things first."

"Huh?" Ito Cheng picked up the papers on the table and read them one by one. Inside there is a formation made of the Philosopher's Stone, a tattoo of Urebus, some incomprehensible words and portraits of two characters.

"What?" Ito Cheng asked after reading everything and throwing the things back on the table.

"I would like to ask if you found any special information in Dr. Mark's information." Edward asked seriously.

"No, haven't you read those materials?" Ito Cheng asked.

"This is the information I got in the Fifth Research Institute following Dr. Mark's instructions. I thought you would know something." Edward said disappointedly.

"Is it the Fifth Research Institute that was destroyed two days ago?" Ito Cheng looked at Edward in surprise.

"Yeah." Edward nodded and admitted.

"You, a person who was present at the scene, only got this little thing. How did you judge that I, a person who has never even been to that research institute, know something that you don't know?" Ito Cheng said in a mocking tone. Edward said. Sure enough, the latter immediately had a tendency to go berserk, but fortunately, he was calmed down by Alphonse and Mascius who were beside him.

"It seems that we can only start investigating from other aspects. If we look through the criminal records of the military court, we might find something." Mascius reached out and picked up the page with the Ulebus pattern from the table. , said while examining it.

"Go down and investigate the people who studied stones with Marco." Armstrong also picked up a piece of paper and said while reading.

At this time, there were suddenly several crisp sounds on the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside without anyone's permission, and President Kim Bradley in military uniform walked in.

"Excuse me!" the president said with a smile.

All the people who suddenly saw the President walking into the room were shocked. The two officers raised their arms in a mechanical salute and said, "President Kim~Kim Bradley!"

"Ah, be quiet and don't be so formal." The president waved his hand in greeting and then said.

"Why are you here?" Mascius asked.

"Why...come to visit the doctor?" the president said in surprise, then he raised the fruit basket in his hand and asked Edward, "Can you eat cantaloupe?"

"Well, thank you." Edward said, taking the fruit basket with both hands, feeling somewhat flattered.

"You seem to be investigating the top military officials recently, Major Armstrong." After sending the fruit basket away, the president did not leave immediately, nor did he inquire about his condition, but asked Armstrong.

"Ah~ no, that...why do you know." Armstrong was surprised at first, and he didn't know what excuse to use to hide it. In the end, he could only admit it honestly.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network," the president said as he stared at Armstrong with one eye, then looked at Edward and said, "And you, Edward Elric, for the Philosopher's Stone."

Then he turned his attention to Ito Cheng, "You too, you have been very active recently."

However, Ito Cheng ignored the President's gloomy gaze, just lowered his head in silence, and ignored him without speaking or explaining. Finally, the president stared at Edward again and said, "How much do you know? It depends on the situation..."

As the president, Kim Bradley said this, and the pressure caused directly made the expressions of several people present except Ito Cheng become heavy. Edward was even more nervous and didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, the president burst out laughing, patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "You're just kidding, don't be nervous." Then, amidst everyone's astonishment, he said, "I also know that there are unstable factors within the army, and I am thinking of taking some measures." Measures." He turned around and picked up the information on the table beside him and opened a few pages. "A list of people who studied the Philosopher's Stone. The whereabouts of these people are unknown, just a few days before the Fifth Research Institute was destroyed. The enemy is always It is ahead of us, and the current situation is that even my intelligence network cannot grasp its scale, purpose, or even the extent to which the enemy has infiltrated."

"That is to say, it will be quite dangerous to continue the investigation." Mascius said.

"Well, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, Major Armstrong, Brother Edward, I think you are all trustworthy people." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately changed, and everyone's eyes fell on Ito Cheng.

"What does the president want to say?" Ito Cheng said with a raised eyebrow.

"Your Excellency, the Alchemist of the Sky, Ito Cheng, can you explain to me your origins and the reasons for some of your actions." The president put his hands behind his back and stared at Ito Cheng with his open eye. said. At the same time, Armstrong next to him quietly walked behind Ito Cheng, ready to attack at any time. Brother Edward was a little confused and stood behind the president with Mathius to watch what happened.
