"Human life? Hahaha, that's right, human life. Fullmetal Alchemist, your hands and feet, your brother, aren't they also the result of you playing with human life!?"
Hearing Hugh Tucker's words, the angry Edward finally couldn't bear it anymore, punched Hugh Tucker in the face, and cursed:
"It's different! Don't compare yourself to us!"
"It's the same, we are all the same! Because there is still a possibility in front of us, we can't help but want to try it, even if we know it is a taboo!"
Hearing Hugh Tucker's words, the furious Edward could no longer bear the rage in his heart. He punched the other man in the face again and again, cursing:
"That's different! I! An alchemist! I wouldn't do such a thing!"
In an instant, just when Edward wanted to continue venting, Alphonse hurriedly stopped him, because Hugh Tucker had been knocked unconscious and he would most likely die if he continued to fight.
At the same time, Edward couldn't help but turn his head to look at the synthetic beast on the ground. The other party was murmuring the name of "father" in a vague voice, and he instinctively wanted to comfort the other party.
Seeing this scene, Edward's expression was completely moved. Pain and despair intertwined in his heart, making him almost unable to utter a word. He could only silently endure this sudden and indescribable despair...
Afterwards, Alphonse took care of Nina, whose soul was twisted but she spoke all kinds of words instinctively, while Edward kicked Hugh Tucker awake indifferently!
"What a bullshit state alchemist, asshole!"
Before we knew it, a mournful rain began to fall from the sky, like the weeping of the gods, the tears of God.
Soon, Colonel Roy and a group of military personnel arrived at the scene. They watched everything and were shocked by it.
"If there is such a thing as evil in the world, this incident must be one of them. But State Alchemists must obey orders, even if it means taking the lives of others. From the perspective of human life, Hugh Tucker's actions are no different from ours. And we still took this path after knowing everything. Isn't that right, Fullmetal?"
In response to Colonel Roy's seemingly enlightening words, Edward lowered his head and said in a trembling voice:
"To be honest, whether we are called the army's lackeys or scolded as demons, Al and I will take back our original bodies. However, we are not demons or gods at all, but mortals. I am a mortal! I can't even save a girl, a tiny mortal..."
Faced with Edward's speech, Roy fell silent.
At the same time, in the military prison, Xiu Tucker looked at his daughter who had turned into a synthetic beast in front of him with a silent expression.
He still has no regrets and sits in his seat calmly.
At this moment, the cell door suddenly opened, and the white-haired man who had killed the State Alchemist before slowly walked in from the door. He looked at the panicked Shutak in front of him indifferently, and said in a deep voice:
"The alchemist who betrayed the heartbeat of God must be eliminated!"
In an instant, he grabbed Hugh Tucker's face, activated his ability, and killed him directly.
Seeing this scene, the synthetic beast beside shed tears and called out his father's name. Even in such a situation, 'it' still loved his father instinctively.
For this reason, the white-haired man looked sad and murmured:
"It's so sad. You can't recover from this state. I'm here to let you rest in peace."
After ending Nina's painful life, Scar murmured slowly:
"God, two souls have just returned to you. Please accept them with a broad mind and grant rest and salvation to these two pitiful souls."
At this point, the fourth episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" has officially come to an end.
…
After watching the ups and downs of the fourth episode, all the viewers in front of the TV felt as if they were holding their breath and acted very powerless.
Yes, although the ending of this episode is good and the perpetrators are punished, the price is too heavy. The audience, like the protagonist Edward of the movie, fell into silence for a long time and couldn't help themselves.
After a long while, people began to speak one after another.
"I really don't know what to say. I just hope there aren't such crazy people in reality."
"If there is such a guy, don't think his final death will be so simple!"
"I originally thought that the white-haired man was a bad guy, but judging from his actions in the end when he solved the crazy alchemist and freed Nina, maybe he is not a completely evil person?"
"Good and evil are always relative. Except for some pure lunatics, everyone has a reason for doing evil. This white-haired man may have a reason, so he wants to eliminate the State Alchemist."
"Maybe. Anyway, after watching this episode, I feel that all the villains that appeared before are good people."
"Yeah, I feel so bad now. Such a little girl, she should have a better future..."
"There are some bottom lines that must never be crossed!"
"… "
All of a sudden, all the audience made various criticisms. After all, no one could accept Hugh Tucker's crazy behavior.
In the prison of the imperial capital, the old black man's expression became extremely gloomy after watching this scene. He mixed in among the angry jailers and said in a low voice:
"Fortunately, this is just a story. If I met a guy like this in real life, I would let him know what it means to be terrified of death!"
The old skeleton beside him fell silent in response to the old black man's deep voice.
He did not doubt the other party's statement at all. After all, as the King of the Undead of the same level, he knew very well what kind of life the other party had experienced to embark on this path.
Chapter 578: The Past of the Undead King
Chapter 578
After watching "Fullmetal Alchemist", all the audience were filled with emotion at once, and most people were depressed or angry at this moment.
Everyone was shocked by the crazy behavior of the Life-Bonding Alchemist Xiu Tucker and felt extremely angry about his behavior.
In a prison in the imperial capital.
This is especially true for the old black man, who is the king of the undead. Even the jailers beside him can feel the anger in him.
Of course, because the old black man used puppetry to occupy the body of a jailer, the other jailers did not think too much about it. They just thought that the plot on TV was too contagious and made him lose his mind.
Soon, after the old black man came to his senses, he exhaled slowly.
Seeing this, the old skeleton on the side said silently:
"It's been so long, and you still haven't gotten over that nightmare?"
"Nightmare? Ah, yes, it was indeed a nightmare, but precisely because it was a nightmare, I can never get rid of it, never..."
Having said this, the old black man slowly raised his head and looked at the TV again.
It has realized that all this is just a fiction on TV, everything is just a story, and the characters in it have not been affected at all.
But the story is based on reality.
The old black man still can't break free from the shackles of the past so easily.
For a moment, looking at the TV screen in front of it, its gaze seemed to go back to the past.
There once was a magician who followed the magician's rationality, seeking pure learning, pure knowledge, and a pure future...
He was so rational, so rational that he attributed everything to logic and regarded death as normal.
Yes, everyone will die. That's right, everyone will die. Old people will die, adults will die, babies will die, children will die...
Everyone will face death equally. There is no hesitation or room for forgiveness in this step.
Therefore, there is no one in this world who needs to be saved, and no one needs to be saved. Everything is natural, and everything has its own cause and effect.
However, his naive and arrogant thoughts changed after he witnessed the battlefield.
On the battlefield between races, the warring parties have no rationality, no logic, and no so-called tolerance...
Everything is reduced to fighting, everything is reduced to killing.
Faced with those scenes that were close to massacre, he was angry and crazy.
Unforgivable,
There is no way to forgive those who kill innocent people.
Therefore, he continued to study the knowledge he had gained through the pursuit of truth, and the final result was to use this knowledge to kill other lives as quickly and efficiently as possible.
In the face of absolutely transcendent power.
Death is so simple...
It was at that moment that he discovered that he was the one who killed innocent people.
There is no such thing as a savior. Everyone in this world is just one of the parts of the cycle of suffering. The more they struggle, the deeper they sink.
So, the magician gave up the righteous way and began to pursue the evil way.
If life is so fragile, then transform it.
If death is that simple, then eliminate death.
Based on this idea, he paid the price of everything he had, using his own humble life as soil to study the most taboo knowledge.
And when he finally found the goal he had been pursuing and thought he had discovered a bright future, it was at that moment that he completely lost his qualifications to become a savior.
Because, when he came up with his theory and tried to prove that a new world was about to emerge, what appeared before him was a completely new battlefield!
Those who accepted his theory and those who did not began to kill each other in a state of insane madness.
Death began to spread at a faster rate than before.
The powerless magician slumped on the ground where fighting was taking place, his eyes inadvertently noticing the torn doll that was made by a child with crude craftsmanship.
The doll's eyes kept staring at him, as if accusing him, mocking him.
Foolish human beings are destined to be unable to change the will of heaven, and weak courage is destined to only bring about the evil of hell.
The seeds of justice are watered with the water of sin, and what blooms are destined to be the seedlings of evil.
It was also at that moment that the magician and all the theories he created disappeared.
There is no longer any magician who is madly researching the path to immortality in the world. Instead, there is an immortal king hidden in the chaos, and a walking corpse who has no ideals and lives purely for the sake of living.
"Huh..."
Looking away from the TV, the old black man was silent for a moment, and finally spoke in an extremely contemptuous voice:
"To pursue the truth, one must pay a price; to acquire knowledge, one must trample on ideals; to desire fame and fortune, one must abandon dignity... If one does not even have the courage to pay the interest, yet still dreams of seeking forbidden knowledge, such a person will never even be able to enter the threshold of truth!"
The old black man's words seemed to be commenting on the crazy and cowardly alchemist Hugh Tucker in "Fullmetal Alchemist", and also seemed to be commenting on his past self.
Those who seek taboos will eventually pay a price. Even if they have not paid for the time being, sooner or later fate will take away their important things.
It understood this truth deeply, and was very disdainful of Xiu Tucker who did not understand all this and tried to pursue taboos.
This is also a kind of regret for the past.
…
The fourth episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" shocked all the viewers who watched it, and the same was true for the two gods working in the tavern in the East.
After watching the scenes on TV, they also felt a sense of emotion.
After all, the gods in this world are actually just slightly more powerful creatures. Although they draw on the faith of weak creatures to make a living, they are not omniscient and omnipotent. In some areas of knowledge, they even perform worse than weaker races.
Especially some taboo knowledge, even gods lack the necessary understanding.
Of course, they are gods after all, and they watch the existence of the lower-level life with eyes from a higher dimension.
Although the plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is very unethical in the eyes of ordinary people, in their eyes, it is just a simple wrong path.
At their level, simple good and evil will no longer cause any disturbance. There are only two differences: existence and non-existence.
During their brief exchange, the title subtitles of "Fullmetal Alchemist" appeared again on the TV screen in the distance.
The next episode of the story is about to begin!
Chapter 579: Reverse Alchemy Array!
Chapter 579
At the beginning of the fifth episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist", there is a memory of the protagonist Edward's brother and his mother.
In the familiar house, Edward handed a small wooden horse to his mother.
When his mother saw this, she smiled, touched little Edward's head, and encouraged him:
"It was made by Ed. You are indeed your father's son. Thank you. Ed is amazing. He can make such a delicate thing. But..."
Suddenly, the mother's voice became strange.
"You didn't succeed in becoming a mother."
All of a sudden, when Edward realized something was wrong and looked up, the mother in front of him had turned into a pitch-black existence.
Seeing this scene, Edward turned around in fear, and suddenly Nina and her pet dog appeared in front of him, greeting him enthusiastically.
