[Attack on Titan] One percent

Although it was a celebration, it was in the Gendarmerie after all, and there were no substantive activities.However, simply living blessings still makes Kuya feel satisfied. It turns out that partners can also become the driving force for moving forward in life.Carrying the luggage, when she walked out of the gate of the headquarters, there was still a faint smile on her lips, and the soldiers who watched the gate got carried away, and only remembered to open the gate after her kind reminder.

It was late at night, the entire capital had fallen asleep, and she still needed to go home to get something.A round of bright moon is in the sky, sprinkled fine silver light along the way, so beautiful that it is unbearable to fall asleep.

Kuya couldn't help speeding up her pace, she suddenly wanted to find some time to paint.

Back at the door of the house, put down the luggage, but didn't take out the keys.She remained motionless, staring into the darkness of the alley next to her.

It always feels like...someone is there.

That person was calm, as if sensing Kuya's thoughts, he walked out of the alley.Step by step, the moonlight slowly rose from his heels to his cheeks, and finally his whole body was exposed in front of her.A simple white shirt, black pants and black boots, arms crossed, looking at her with an unpredictable expression.

Kuya's fingertips trembled, "Levi...Mr.?" His hands were on the side he couldn't see, they were clenched tightly one by one, and then loosened.

Seeing the rare surprise on the familiar face, Levi's inexplicably irritable heart calmed down a little.He originally went out for a casual walk because he couldn't sleep, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of this place.Occasionally, he seemed to want to find traces about her here.

Never thought that he could really see her, let alone how to get along with her, Levi suddenly felt depressed again.He could only cover up his inner confusion with sarcastic words, "Is it necessary to be so surprised to see me, or do you think I'm dead outside the wall?"

Only then did Kuya recover from the shock, seeing his frown furrowed, she thought he was here to make trouble for her.In the dead of night, if there is a conflict outside, the neighbors around will be awakened, and it will be troublesome at that time.Kuya immediately opened the door and said, "Since you're here, come in and have a seat."

Entering the room, Levi sat down on the sofa.Kuya didn't go to see him, but opened the windows for ventilation, lit the lamp again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm going to boil water to make tea, just wait a moment."

Levi didn't answer, Kua took him as acquiescence, turned and walked into the kitchen.

Just being left alone in the living room, and I don't know if she did it on purpose, Levi wondered how likely it was that she would escape.

After a while, before Kuya came out, Levi got up a little bored and started wandering around the room.The house is still empty, but it has changed in inadvertent details, and it is more lively than last time.The combination of warm colors makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

There is a full-length mirror attached to the wall at the back, and Levi leans forward to take a closer look. The full-length mirror is also of ordinary style, and there is a thin layer of dust in the gaps against the wall, and he sees his impatient expression in the mirror.Just as I was about to turn around, I caught a glimpse of a strange place—a short section of the lower right side of the mirror frame was free of dust.

Levi reached out to touch it, but unexpectedly touched something like a switch. With a "click", the mirror moved silently to the left, slowly revealing the secret passage behind.After the shock, Levi was aroused and walked down the stairs.

As the altitude descended, the light from the entrance of the passage became weaker and weaker. When Levi was hesitating whether to continue, he caught a glimpse of something like a switch.With a light touch, the surrounding darkness is instantly dispelled. On the ceiling and walls, bright yellow lights light up one after another, row after row, as if the whole room is dancing cheerfully.Not long after, the entire space was as bright as day.

It turned out that he was in a secret basement.Two walls are occupied by tall bookshelves, one side is filled with lockers, all of which are sealed by glass doors; the remaining largest wall is hung with countless oil paintings, which are also carefully sealed with glass; the basement The reason why the hall is so bright is all due to these glass... This is what Levi discovered later, at this moment, he is completely attracted by a painting.It was the largest painting in the middle of the wall.

The painting is a whole piece of blue, and the thin ripples glow like broken diamonds, like a bunch of stars falling on it.It's clearly a still oil painting, but no matter how you look at it, you can feel that it is a piece of sparkling light that is dancing.When I stare at a certain point seriously, it doesn't move at all, but when I look away a little, it starts to jump again.

Levi stared blankly at the painting, unable to speak for a long time.

Kuya fiddled with the kitchen for a long time before finally digging out a bag of silk tree bark.

In the previous meeting, she carefully captured the faint blackness in Levi's eyes.Albizia julibrissin bark has the effect of relieving depression and calming the nerves, which is very suitable for people who are stressed and insomnia.She washed the bark, fried it slowly over low heat for a long time, removed the dregs, and put it into a teapot.After coming out of the kitchen, Levi was nowhere to be seen.

She glanced around strangely, but suddenly found that the door of the secret passage was wide open!Kuya immediately ran to the window, locked all the windows, drew the curtains, and hurried down the stairs into the basement.

The transparent glass in the room reflected the bright fire light, and also reflected the man standing there.Although the man stared at other places intently, he still exuded a stern aura throughout his body.Strongly unfamiliar, yet incredibly familiar.

Levi turned his head, and what jumped into his eyes was the same beautiful blue as in the painting.Although the brows were slightly frowning, the pupils did not show any distress, as if they didn't mind the secret being exposed in front of him.Levi raised his eyebrows indifferently.

The two were speechless.

After several months of bloody baptism, the depths of his eyes have accumulated more depth, and his emotions have become more and more hidden.The endless darkness locked her eyes tightly, as if trying to attract her mind and challenge her deepest reason at any time.Kuya sighed in her heart, becoming more and more unable to understand the purpose of his trip.

After a long time, Levi finally retracted his gaze, turned around and looked at the painting again, "What are you painting?"

Kuya also looked at the intoxicating blue, the blue that only the sea possesses.The sun reflected off the surface of the sea, like stars falling into the sea.I miss it infinitely in my heart, but I can only say verbally: "This is the sea described in the book, one of its appearances."

"Oh?" Levi turned around with interest, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Is there anything else this sea looks like?"

Kuya didn't answer right away, and walked to a box, only to hear a "ding" and lock it, and several oil paintings appeared in her hands.She spread them out on the table, and Levi looked at them one by one, his eyes widening in surprise.

"This is the sea at sunset, dyed purple by the fiery sunset. It is dark blue at night, and azure blue during the day. When the weather is calm, it is vast and quiet. In thunderstorm weather, the sea is rough and the waves are wild and murderous. The sea is always endless, especially when you go deep into its hinterland, the ever-changing environment may swallow you up in a second. And the more mysterious it is, the more it can arouse people's desire to conquer."

Levi remained silent, but listened intently.This is truly the most beautiful place in the world, and no words can fully describe its beauty.

After marveling, Levi couldn't help turning his head, looking at the woman beside him.She pointed at the oil paintings and slowly described the scenes of each painting in a soft tone, with a slight smile on her lips, as if she was remembering something beautiful.

Levi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Suddenly, a hand interrupted Kuya's memory.Her chin was lifted, and she was forced to turn around and look directly into those dark eyes.Levi's pupils narrowed slightly, and he stared at her closely, Kua looked away uncomfortably.

"Look at me." The sharp and hoarse voice sounded in his ear, and the undeniable tone contained some complex emotions, and Kuya's heart trembled when he heard it.She looked into his eyes again, and his gaze was like a torch, and the words he uttered precisely touched the depths of her heart, "You like the sea very much."

"……Um."

"Then, why hide behind the high walls and work for those noble lackeys?"

"..." Kuya's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't answer.

His dark eyes are like a dark night, exuding a dangerous atmosphere, "Look, your attitude towards me is a 180-degree turn. It can be seen that you did not hesitate to send me to my door for them." Now he has also become a soldier , trying to understand her previous behavior gradually, bit by bit, but—

Just understand, but can not forgive.

He locked her eyes tightly, trying to catch every ups and downs in those clear eyes.But she instinctively took precautions, took a few steps back, opened the distance between the two of them, then lowered her eyes, out of his scrutiny.

"If Mr. Levi came to be a lobbyist, I think it's better to give up."

The soft touch of the fingertips disappeared, and Levi lowered his hand and shook it without a trace.His eyes darkened, "...I like the Gendarmerie so much? I can't distinguish you from those people who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

Her eyes are still calm, but they are no longer as dead as before. Levi wants to know the reason and process, but he can't ask. "Then, just don't make a distinction. Maybe one day, when the gendarmerie witnesses a giant cannibalizing a human being, some will run away with their heads in their hands, and some will resolutely take up weapons." This sentence was an understatement, and she didn't want Levi to delve into her place of attribution.This sentence was an unintentional statement, but I didn't want it to become a prophecy in the near future.

After saying that, Kuya walked around to the other side of the table and quickly but carefully stacked the paintings one by one.

She put on her thick defense again, Levi's face was gloomy, suppressing the secret cry in his heart, "...so you raised your weapon against humans?"

The night engraved deep in my memory suddenly jumped out with his voice!Kuya was startled, she lost her grip, and the painting in her hand immediately fell to the ground with a clatter!

She hastily stretched out her hand to save him, and with such a big movement, she brought down the pile of books, and the whole table was in a mess.At the same time, a frivolous image leaped into Levi's sight, and landed lightly on the mess.

Levi ignored the situation on the ground and just picked up the painting.

It was a pencil portrait.The person in the painting frowned slightly, his eyes were dark, and his expression was three points impatient and seven points arrogant.The corners of the mouth are slightly hooked, subtly highlighting the rebellious character of the person in the painting.

Levi's eyes are dimmed—the person in the painting seems to be himself.
