I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~

Aha~ I have successfully updated~ Regarding Hanji's gender, do you think it is more acceptable to be male or female? (I think it's best not to say clearly, but it's impossible to use all "it" when writing. o(╯□╰)o

Aww, what are you doing JJ, spit out my update!

As night fell, the headquarters of the Survey Corps was brightly lit.Everywhere they went were busy figures treating the injured, and occasionally two or three groups of people gathered together to chat about their feelings about the investigation outside the wall.And their topics always revolve around the same person.Levi didn't want to listen to the trust and admiration he expressed in words.

The forest dedicated to training was pitch black at the moment, and he stood silently on the hillside.

Hiding in the dark, standing outside the hustle and bustle, you can let your thoughts run wild without worrying about others peeping.The direction of the distant king's capital was faintly lit, and one didn't need to think about it to know that in the casinos, it was a good night for luxury, wine and meat.In the palaces of princes and nobles, I don't know what kind of corruption and luxury it is.As for the underground street, it should be dilapidated and depressed at the moment, right?However, even if the underground street is scrapped, the capital is still a filthy place.

Although he has long since left there, the filth is everywhere.When the giant reached out to him for the first time, before the screams of his teammates around him fell, he had already soared high into the air and cut off its nape neatly.With a muffled sound, the giant fell to the ground, and Levi on the side also fell on the branch of the giant tree.

Suddenly another piece of forest flashed before my eyes, and it flashed by very quickly...

……

"The reason why hunting is attractive is that the hunter is the strong and the prey is the weak. The hunter has the overall situation and the right to make decisions... No one can resist this sense of superiority."

……

There was an indescribable feeling in Levi's heart, which he never had when training the hack and slash model.He wasn't happy when he actually stomped this mindless creature under his feet.For the first time, he thought about problems from the height of all mankind, and he understood the despair that he could not understand before, the despair of all mankind.There is nothing more frightening than a powerful unknown. No matter how many giants he kills, human beings are still weak and still unable to control the overall situation.

It was as if he had strayed into a giant's lair, and huge monsters blocked his sight.He walked briskly through the forest, beheading nearly ten giants beautifully and fiercely, and the dark green cloak was not stained by blood.

At some point, he was already at the forefront of the team, becoming the absolute leader in terms of strength.Another giant fell, and Levi reached the designated meeting point first.Puffs of steam started to come out of the giant's body, he avoided a few steps, and frowned displeasedly, "Tsk, it's so dirty."

Not far away, there was a ten-meter-level giant who had just swallowed his teammate, and then slowly walked towards another person.The man's device malfunctioned, and he was entangled in the branch.He struggled desperately, trying to activate the jet device, but he couldn't move.

There was a loud noise from behind, and his waving limbs suddenly froze.His pupils gradually dilated, and he exhausted his last bit of strength to turn his head back with difficulty...

A face that was dozens of times bigger than him.

This face has no lips, and the exposed teeth still have milky white saliva and human blood.The monster that had just eaten his partner was staring greedily at him.He lost the strength to struggle, and stared blankly at the bloody mouth that opened in front of his eyes, the sunshine in his life was disappearing little by little...

When the surroundings were completely shrouded in shadows, the last hope of survival suddenly pulled him back, and he instinctively called for help, "Help——!!"

There was a sudden scream behind him, Levi turned his head, and rushed over in the next second, locked on the target as quickly as possible, and cut off the back of the giant's neck very simply.

The person who asked him for help was named Tony, the person in the entire survey corps who didn't admire him the most, he had to compete with him every day, and then he went back to heal his injuries with a bruised nose and a swollen face.After repeated battles and repeated defeats, Tony always had an aggrieved face every time he saw Levi, but he still accepted his double blows of force and words without being discouraged.

The giant fell to the ground with a bang, Levi fell to the ground, and walked towards Tony, "Idiot, get up quickly." When he was about to despise him as before, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

In front of him, there was only one hand.

"..."

The smell of blood spread around, he raised his head and looked around.The corpses and wreckage of the companions are everywhere, and the scenes are full of horror and shock.

He beheaded the giant in front, easily avoiding the blood splashing on his body, but turned his head bright red.

The Survey Corps, all members of the right-wing wing except for Levi—all wiped out.

The blood all over the ground is like a hot iron, which has carved an indelible brand in Levi's heart, which is an inescapable curse.He could save one or two companions, but he couldn't save all of them, so what's the use?What's the use of the members of the Survey Corps feeding the giants one by one for nothing?What's the use of killing giants without end if he's the only one alive?

No matter how hard he couldn't figure it out, he was still alive, looking for the answer alone every night in the dead of night.He could sense that Erwin knew the answers to these questions, but he needed to find them himself.

It was he who chose to join the Survey Corps, so he had to find the meaning of his existence.

"Oh, what a coincidence." A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, interrupting his thinking.

Levi turned back to see a figure walking towards him.Then with the faint light, he could see that it was Hanji Zoye, the number one scientific madman of the Survey Corps. "What are you doing here?" He frowned, instinctively not wanting this person who had too much desire to explore to discover his strangeness.Otherwise, the latter would definitely grab him with bright eyes, chatter and question him for hours.

"Me? I'm here to see the scenery." Han Ji smiled and pointed to himself, then to the lights in the distance.

Levi glanced at the distance, and felt that this man was not telling the truth, "Hmph, what's so interesting about the king, there are dirty things everywhere."

Hearing this, Han Ji looked at him teasingly, "Is it dirtier than a giant?"

"what."

"Hey, let's think about the investigation outside the wall." Han Ji spread his hands, and suddenly said excitedly, "By the way, the Tim I told you about last time—the experiment on the seven-meter giant has a new one. Found, do you want to listen?"

"If you don't have anything else to do, get out," Levi looked at Han Ji with disgust, stopping the upcoming chatter, "You should go to your follower, she must be happy to listen to your ramblings."

"You mean Cindy?" Han Ji waved his hand, "Cindy is dead."

"..." Levi paused before speaking, "Sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I just came here to say goodbye to her." Han Ji shook his head, and then said with a smile, "I will continue to do research with her faith, and I believe there will be results."

Levi was touched when he heard this, but someone grabbed his shoulder the next second, "If you really feel sorry, just do research with me! It's really interesting, and there will be many unexpected discoveries Woolen cloth!"

Frowning and raising his feet, Han Ji immediately let go and covered his knees in pain.

"I have to write an investigation report, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

After all, Levi left quickly, ignoring the protests behind him.

Two months later.

It was another dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun desperately released its last energy, burning up the entire sky.

The gate of Maria's Wall was opened, and the survey corps finished another investigation outside the wall and returned to the city.The return of Huoshaoyunxia is like a solemn and solemn ceremony. It is not only a tribute to the old generation, but also an expectation for the new generation.The investigation outside the wall still suffered heavy casualties, but it also achieved an unprecedented breakthrough.Everyone in the Survey Corps could feel that something had changed since this operation.

In the previous investigations, all the people came out of the wall in despair, but this time, the wings of freedom that were draped behind him, someone let them spread their real wings for the first time.

That person is Levi.

In front of the team, the blond man on horseback was covered in fiery red streamers, looking straight ahead as usual, turning a blind eye to the discussions of the people on both sides.No one knew what he was thinking, except himself.

……

"Captain Smith, although I can't join the Survey Corps yet, I would like to take the liberty of asking you for one thing."

For the first time, there was a hint of pleading in the calm eyes.Erwin couldn't see whether she did it on purpose, or if she had lost her self-protection, but he could sense that what she was about to bring up was serious.Erwin was a little curious, what could make this woman's indifferent face show an anxious look.

"Just say it."

"You may have heard that the gendarmerie will completely clean up the underground street by the end of this year." Kuya's expression regained her composure a little bit, she looked into Erwin's eyes, trying to catch something from the depth.

"I did hear about it."

"There is a person in the underground street. I think he meets your requirements and expectations better than me."

"So, you want to introduce him to me?" Erwin was a little surprised. She, a military policeman, would persuade a gangster to turn to the light?

"No...he doesn't know what I think yet."

Erwin was silent for a few seconds, not expecting her to make such a seemingly unreasonable request.For the head of the investigation corps to personally invite a gangster, in the eyes of others, how absurd it is.

"I think you haven't finished your sentence. I need a reasonable explanation."

"Yes. Needless to say about his abilities, the most important thing is that although he has set foot in the dark, the blood of a warrior flows in his bones, and what is buried deep in his heart is dissatisfaction with reality and the desire for ultimate freedom. He Could have easily killed me, he was born a fighter."

It was cloudy that day.It was clearly a gray sky, but there seemed to be a ray of golden sunlight shining in through the glass windows of the corridor, and sprinkled the warm color called "Sincerely" on her cheeks.

Erwin looked into Kuya's eyes, and his mood couldn't be described with surprise at this moment.He took a fancy to Kuya's talents, one of which was knowing people.And what kind of person could make her believe in it and make her cold eyes feel warm?

"What do you think is the most important thing to shoulder the hope of the counterattack of all mankind? Is it extraordinary combat power, flexible mind, keen judgment, or the belief in victory?" Erwin looked directly at her, and suddenly After asking this question, he wanted to hear what a wonderful answer the person in front of him could give.

And Kuya looked at Erwin without any hesitation, and even that layer of warmth never peeled off——

"It's the consciousness of immortality."

……

Erwin was at the head of the line on horseback, and behind him was Levi, the man Kuya wanted to save at all costs.

To be the hope of all mankind, the strongest is enough, but it is far from enough to shoulder this heavy hope.Even in the worst environment, even if all his comrades died, he must survive.

More and more wills of the dead are carried on his body, and more and more people will look up to his back and pin their hope of human counterattack on him.Levi has already found the answer, and gradually moves towards what Erwin said, the hope of human counterattack.

He is not afraid of death, nor can he die.If he dies, who shall bear the will of his companion's blood?

He couldn't save his companions, and the road ahead for the counterattack was pitch black. All he could do was to survive.

The tactical design of this extraterrestrial investigation put Levi in ​​a crucial position, and he played a powerful role as expected, becoming the core combat force of the investigation corps in one fell swoop, and became famous in the first battle, known by everyone as "Humanity's Strongest Soldier".

Unsurprisingly, Erwin promoted him to be the captain, but with the arrival of spring and the frequent occurrence of infectious diseases, the frequency of the survey corps' outings was greatly reduced.So in the following days, in addition to high-intensity training, Levi had one day off every week.Said it was a vacation, and it was not much different from normal days.After going out on the street for the first time in casual clothes and being chased and intercepted by a group of children, his vacations are basically staying at the headquarters, or running around, or exploiting some Han Ji's books to read.

It's just that Han Jin, the Frankenstein, has a shelf full of academic books.Once under Levi's coercion, Hanji rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found a bunch of literary works, and brought them to Levi like offering treasures.Against the sunlight, you can see the dust flying all over the room, Levi immediately covered his mouth and nose, turned around and left.

It's really not as good as that woman...

Back in the room, I poured myself a glass of wine, and it was spicy in my throat, only to realize that the liquid in the glass was tequila... For that woman, it seemed to have a special meaning to the wine.

Several months have passed since that incident, and the two have not seen each other again.Levi was very puzzled, he seemed to always think of her inadvertently.When drinking, I will think of her nostalgic expression, when eating, I will think of her unique craftsmanship, and even when I cut giants, I can think of her theory of being strong.

Although he was calculated once, Levi did not shy away from thinking of Kuya.When submitting the investigation report, he suddenly asked, "Erwin, do you know the strongest military policeman?"

Erwin raised his head from a pile of maps, put down his pen, and said with a straight face: "I know it."

The answer was as expected, "Ah..." Levi opened his mouth, but there was no text, he didn't know how to continue... asked if she died?I have a good sense of proportion, the answer must be whether... I asked her if she recovered from her injury?how are things?To be punished or not? ...It doesn't seem to matter, they have no intersection now, and Erwin doesn't necessarily know about his involvement with her before...

The point is, he doesn't know what he wants to ask.

To her, he was nothing more than a task, and after the task was completed, the story could be turned.And why should he worry about it?

Seeing the hidden confusion in Levi's expression, Erwin couldn't help but think of the conversation that day.

……

"Whether he is qualified to ask you to come forward in person, then you will know. I am here today, just to ask you to promise me to take a look, is that okay?" Her voice was soft, even a little cautious, with a faint expression Make a plea.

She no longer cares about being seen through by this man.

"I accept your proposal. It's just that I want to ask you personally. Of course, you don't have to answer—how much are you willing to pay to save this person?"

Kuya didn't even blink her eyes, "I will do whatever it takes, please just ask."

Erwin nodded, "I see, I will attach great importance to this person. You can treat it as a friend and do a favor. If this person is valuable, it is enough to be an equal return."

So no matter what kind of request he has in the future, she must go all out for reason... This is the real no matter what the price is.

But it was enough to save him.

"Kuya can't thank you enough."

……

A knock on the door interrupted the silence in the room, and Han Ji and Staff Officer Gray walked in.

"Leader, I'm going to ask the higher ups for money tomorrow. We're here to get a reminder." Han Ji said with a smile.

"Oh, just right, this bag contains the survey corps' next quarter's plan and application for additional funding," Erwin picked up the document bag in front of him and handed it to Hanji, "This time you two bring Levi Let's do it together."

The three of them walked out of the office, and Gray patted Levi on the shoulder carelessly, "You are not bad, Erwin has started to cultivate your communication skills so soon!"

"You don't know, it's because Erwin couldn't do it. After my rigorous test, the results show that this guy's communication skills are at the kindergarten level. It's not bad to get two points. Hurry up and fly first!" Han Ji helped his eyes, and announced the test results with a sly smile.

Gray laughed loudly after hearing this, "Really, I didn't expect that the strongest human being would have a failing project!" He raised his hand again to pat Levi on the shoulder, and the latter took a step to the side impatiently, but twenty Despite the centimeter height difference, Gray could easily reach him.

Levi's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

The last time his knee suffered misfortune, Hanji gave Levi a three-hour military discipline education the next day.Although Levi was very angry when he heard it, he was in the army after all, and there were no rules.Since then, he tried his best to kill the opponent with his eyes, but Han Ji, who communicates with giants all day long, has a brain circuit that is different from ordinary people, and has completely cultivated an iron wall.

"You guys are so free, you don't do business, you fart all day long." The military discipline is there, Levi can't use force to vent his anger, so he can only grit his teeth and curse.

Han Ji didn't get angry when he heard that, but instead looked like "it's true", nodded seriously, and said to Gray: "Oh, I see, it's two points for communication! Facts have proved that my data is still very reliable. You still need to give me some experimental equipment!"
