The room was silent for a moment, then a low laugh came from Sei Itō's mouth. He looked at the people in the room with a mocking expression.
"Your Excellency! First, you shocked us with your sudden visit. Then, you gave us a fruit basket to show that you were close to the people. Then, you told Major Armstrong information to show that you were powerful. Finally, you used your identity as the President to say ambiguous words to create pressure … "Sei Itō narrated Kimbra's actions after he entered the ward in a different way.
"Rather than pressure, it was more like a test. When you found out that Edward and the others didn't know anything at all, you dispelled everything you had built up before as a joke. Then, you used your so-called information to reconstruct the attitude of 'I was also the one who discovered the problem, and I discovered it earlier than you'. Then, you talked about the danger to create the hidden message that we were all on the same side. Finally, you used your so-called trust to amplify this message and isolate me … "Sei Itō continued.
"Then I want to ask, as the President who did all of this, what is your purpose?! Are you … really trustworthy? "Sei Itō raised his right hand and pointed at Kimbra's face as he questioned.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed again. The feeling of everyone targeting Sei Itō disappeared, but there was also no sense of trust. At the same time, President Kimbra was also counted as a target of distrust by the other four people in the room. But in the end, he was still the President. That kind of suspicion was much, much lower than Sei Itō's …
"Sharp-tongued kid." The President's expression didn't change. He still stared at Sei Itō with his only open eye.
"I was just stating the facts that they ignored." Sei Itō put down his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at the President provocatively and said, "Then, Your Excellency, can you explain the problem just now to me?"
"Hmph." The Grand President snorted coldly. He gradually retracted his gaze from Sei Itō and swept his gaze over Edward and the others in the room, who had been silent since their conversation. In the end, he seemed to sigh as he said, "Sigh, has the military's problem become so serious? Even the words of a President like me are being doubted? "
"Your Excellency!" Major Armstrong opened his mouth and shouted, but then he found that he didn't know what to say, so he could only close his mouth again. Masseus, on the other hand, didn't say anything at all. He just remained silent at the side. The Edward brothers were baffled. They didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
"I still have official business to attend to. Goodbye." The Grand President said to everyone in the room. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave the ward. However, just as he was about to push open the door, he stopped. With his back facing everyone, he said in a deep voice, "Don't investigate this matter anymore. Don't tell anyone about it."
"Yes, sir!" Masseus and Armstrong immediately replied.
After hearing their words, the Grand President pushed the door open. He ignored the two panicking soldiers at the door and slowly walked out of the hospital.
"Phew, that scared me to death." At this moment, Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the bed with a face full of lingering fear.
"That was really a shock." Masseus took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and took a deep breath.
"Yeah." Armstrong also breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed manner.
"Heh ~" Sei Itō sneered. After attracting everyone's attention, he said, "I think that you guys will feel uncomfortable if I stay here. It just so happens that I'm also planning to leave. However, I still have the same question. Can the Grand President be trusted? "
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to answer. He quickly walked out of the ward and left the hospital.
"I'm talking about you ~" Edward growled as he watched Sei Itō disappear through the gap of the door.
"However, the words of that guy called Sei Itō are indeed worth thinking about," Masseus said softly. Massius said softly from the side, causing everyone to recall what Ito Sei had said just now, causing the room to quiet down.
Downstairs in the hospital, Sei Itō, who was walking out of the hospital, immediately saw the figure of the Grand President standing at the door with his hands behind his back. He walked past Sei Itō, ignoring him.
"Alchemist of [Sky], no matter what your intentions are, it's best that you don't act recklessly. Otherwise, who knows what awaits you in hell." The Grand President looked at Sei Itō who walked past him and said.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll arrange my own matters. You, on the other hand, should take care of your health. "Sei Itō continued walking without looking back. He only responded indifferently.
"Hmph." The Grand President snorted coldly. He stepped into the car that had been waiting at the door for a long time and drove to the central government.
"Ya Ye, you have to pay more attention to strangers in the future," Sei Itō said to Ya Ye who was busy when he returned home.
"En?" Ya Ye stopped what he was doing and looked at Sei Itō with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to explain.
Then, Sei Itō told Ya Ye everything that happened in the hospital today. Finally, he said, "It seems that the other party is very concerned about our existence."
"En, I know. I'll be careful." Ya Ye nodded and resumed what he was doing.
On the other side …
After leaving the hospital, Masseus immediately returned to the military and began to immerse himself in the investigation. Because of Masseus's relationship with the department, some information was not as troublesome as others. Therefore, Masseus had a natural advantage in obtaining some information. It only took a few days for him to find out the truth under an opportunity.
"Hey, hey, which bastard is it that did this?" In the library of the military government office, Masseus looked at the country map in his hand and muttered to himself in shock.
At this moment, Masseus only felt the light dim. Then, a seductive female voice said, "Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Masseus. Or is it more appropriate to say goodbye forever? "
At the same time, the fingers that seemed to be wearing a long black glove suddenly turned into five sharp spikes and approached Masseus step by step.
"That tattoo seems to be quite stylish." The corners of Masseus's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the woman who was gradually approaching. When his gaze swept across the tattoo exposed on her chest, he said. It was the same pattern drawn on the information he saw in Edward's ward a few days ago.
"You know too much, Lieutenant Masseus." The woman said as she raised her arm and the five spikes were aimed at Masseus's body.
"Ha ~" Masseus made a sound that was unclear. His hand touched his waist and a few throwing knives appeared between his fingers. He swung his hand and threw them at the woman.
The light in the room was dim and the space was narrow. It was still very advantageous for Masseus. Therefore, the two of them exchanged blows for a moment and a throwing knife accurately hit the woman's forehead. Masseus then dragged his right arm that was stabbed in the fight and walked out of the library.
However, because he was stabbed too hard and the injury was a little serious, he staggered and fell when he opened the door. After getting up, he dragged his weak body to the telephone center.
"Ah ~ Lieutenant Masseus, you're calling to show off your family again …" At first, the female operator was just teasing him as usual. When she realized that Masseus's condition was not right, she immediately stood up from her seat in shock and shouted, "Lieutenant Masseus, you're bleeding."
"I'm fine. Can I borrow a phone?" Masseus said as he panted and walked to the empty telephone cabinet. He reached out and grabbed the phone, but after a moment of hesitation, he put it back and said, "Sorry to disturb your work."
"Lieutenant Masseus!" The female operator looked at Masseus's condition and shouted worriedly. However, Masseus did not care at all. He just walked out of the government building step by step and walked to a public telephone booth outside. He reached for the phone and called Mustang, who was still working in the Eastern Command.
After verifying the information, Mustang finally picked up the call. However, before he could say anything, a pistol was pressed against his back. A female voice said, "Can you put down the phone, Lieutenant Masseus?"
With the help of the dim street lamp outside the telephone booth, Masseus finally saw the person clearly. It was the female soldier named Ross who was guarding outside Edward's ward a few days ago.
"Second Lieutenant Ross." Masseus was shocked, but he immediately recovered. He looked at the other party calmly and asked, "You're not Second Lieutenant Ross. Who are you?"
"I'm Second Lieutenant Mariaros. Have you forgotten?" The other party still refused to admit it.
"No, you're not. Second Lieutenant Ross has a mole under her left eye, "Masseus exposed her without hesitation.
"Ah? Is that so? I was careless. " The other party was stunned at first, but then she smiled evilly. At the same time, she raised her left hand and pointed her index and middle fingers at her left eye. After a flash of red light, a mole appeared there, completely filling up the hole. "This should be enough, right?!"
"Gosh, it feels like a dream!" Mastheus muttered to himself in disbelief as he turned his head away from the other party.
"It's rare for you to be so quick-witted. This is really a disaster, Lieutenant Masseus," the other party said as she looked at the family portrait that had fallen out of Masseus' body.
"Hey, hey, let me go. My wife and children are waiting for me at home. I can't die here," Masseus begged for mercy, but a throwing knife slipped out of his sleeve and into his palm. Just as he was about to attack the other party, he realized that the other party's appearance had changed. It was the face of his wife that he had been showing off to others every day.
"My acting wasn't bad, right?" The other party grinned.
"You bastard!" Seeing the other party turn into his wife and raise a gun to kill him, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. He shouted angrily.
"Bang!" In an instant, a gunshot was heard. Masseus's body fell to the ground weakly, panting weakly.
"Humans are really stupid. They bet their lives on something that doesn't matter." At this moment, the appearance of the murderer changed again. He was a young man who was about 160 centimeters tall, wearing a tight shirt and boxer shorts, and had black octopus-like hair. He looked at Masseus, who was bleeding at his feet, with a sigh.
