[Attack on Titan] The Gate of Hakogawa

?The sun unknowingly crossed the sun and fell obliquely to the west. Although the angle is not too biased, the warm orange light that belongs to the afternoon still lightly and lightly passes through the half-opened window and falls on the clean room. On the ground, it illuminates a small world.

The fine dust invisible to the naked eye slowly rises in the hazy yellow twilight, and the room gradually warms up because of this bright area.

Sitting on the bed, Levi stretched out his feet. In order to reduce the burden on his right foot, he crossed his right knee over his left foot, and his upper body leaned against the headboard of the bed. As soon as he picked up the quality key, his mind returned to the conversation he had with Han Ji in the laboratory in the morning.

"Look at this."

Levi took out the key he found under the pillow from his pocket, and handed it to Hanji who was full of doubts. Although he was sure that it was the one that Alan had been carrying all the time, he was a little uncertain for a while Idea what to do with it.

"Hey, this, isn't this Allen's key——"

Han Ji took the key from Levi's hand with a look of surprise, he squinted one eye, and held the key up as if appraising it.

"Didn't it crystallize with Alan, why is it in your hand?"

Hanji turned his head suddenly, facing the bright light reflected on the lenses of Levi's plastic-rimmed glasses.

"Don't look at me with that look, I found it under his pillow, probably Alan didn't take it out in the first place." Levi glared at the giggling Han Ji with a black face, full of warning.

"Oh——So Levi, you still have this quirk, turning over the pillows of your subordinates..." Before Han Ji finished speaking, the bangs on his forehead were caught by Levi at lightning speed. As soon as he grabbed it, the man pushed down hard with no expression on his face.

"Pain, pain, pain... no, I mean this is a very good behavior, it proves that Levi loves his subordinates very much——"

Hearing this sentence, Levi snorted softly, and let go of his hand neatly.

"Woo...almost going bald..." Han Ji crouched on the ground and held his forehead in pain, the wound from Levi's beating in the basement finally healed up a little, and now his forehead must be swollen again .

"Hey, I'm asking what you think, don't be an idiot over there." Levi kicked the opponent's back to him with a look of disgust, and the impatience accumulated between his brows gradually increased.

"It's hard for me to say that." Rubbing his head while standing up, Han Ji lost the lightly picking expression just now, and looked down at the key with a deep look in his eyes.

"But it's obvious that this is left to you by Allen."

Unexpectedly hearing such an answer, Levi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Regardless of why Alan didn't bring it with him, he would hide it in such a secret corner under the pillow. He certainly didn't want ordinary people to find it."

"It is very possible that this is a clue left by Alan to you, or a message."

"Maybe Allen already knows what's hidden in the basement."

The sun hit Hanji's lens, and the refracted light and shadow made Levi's expression unclear. He took the key from the other party's hand, but it felt like he was holding a hot flame in his hand, which was so hot It's almost unbearable.

"Of course, this is just my conjecture. What the truth is, we will only know after the door is opened."

Han Ji shrugged his shoulders, and returned to his previous unscrupulous expression, as if the momentary solemnity was just Levi's illusion, and walked past Levi again in a dawdly way.

Although with the passage of time, the hot touch can no longer be felt on the palm of the hand, but the key resting in the hand is like a thorn, stuck in Levi's heart, which makes people restless, especially after hearing Han Even more so after Kat's statement.

Although there are many doubts in his heart, no matter how anxious he is, it doesn't make any sense, Levi is no longer that kind of impulsive kid, he has enough patience to wait, wait for the day when the door opens, and wait for the message left by Allen .

Pulling off the looped hemp rope tied to the head of the key, Levi lowered his head slightly, passed the stretched thin thread around the back of his head, and the rope tied with the key flew briefly in the air, and finally stopped on his white neck.

The brass key was hung in front of his chest, and it was still wobbling because of the momentary shock, but Levi grabbed it. He held the key tightly for a moment, then put it into his collar, leaving his hand The key to heart temperature ends up in the location closest to the left atrium.

Glancing sideways out of the window, the sun was still hanging high in the sky silently, the glaring light seemed dazzling but not hot, the thin and warm light was like a mother rubbing her hands above her head, with a little unknown gentle.

Bathed in the warm sunshine, Levi's tense emotions seemed to be moderately relaxed. At the same time, he remembered the bottle of potion that Hanji specially formulated for him, which was said to have a soothing effect on nerves. Rehabilitation should help considerably.

Although Han Ji is quite unreliable, judging from the past, these weird things he developed are still effective, just hope that there will be no strange side effects.

Turning his eyes slightly, he looked at the bottle on the table with a strange color, and bursts of turbid potion that smelled like rancid water, Levi felt several veins pop out of his forehead involuntarily.

——If it doesn’t work, kill him.

While thinking this way, Levi took the potion with disgust on his face, and stared at the bottle back and forth as if looking at it, the murderous aura invisible to the naked eye surrounded him like a Shura field.

Finally made up his mind, Levi opened the cap of the bottle, closed his eyes and poured the medicine into his mouth, only to see his throat rolling twice, the medicine mixed with the liquid in his mouth and swallowed together.

Unconsciously sticking out his tongue to lick his lips, the potion itself has no special smell, it just smells bad, which makes Levi's bad mood a little happier.

However, before he had time to think about it, the fingers that were holding the bottle suddenly loosened. Before Levi could react, he watched the bottle fall from the air in a daze, and it made a crisp sound when it fell on the ground.

In a moment, a feeling of powerlessness covered the whole body, like a tiny gear in a precision-operated machine stopped, causing a chain reaction of disintegration, starting from the fingers, the wrist joints declared a stop, Then comes the elbow, and then extends to the elbow joint. The nerves that transmit the message can no longer play any role in the weakened system.

Levi struggled to sit up, but found that his limbs were as unresponsive as that day, and a sense of numbness spread from the limbs to the center, and the dark fear seized Levi's heart. The world began to blur and distort.

On that day, the memory that he suppressed so much recovered from the shackles of restraint, his world seemed to be raining heavily, the wet and hazy images, and the muffled sound of thunder falling in the ambiguous boundary Flowing freely.

It is no longer possible to tell whether it is the thunder or the mournful roar lingering in the ear, the tragic picture flows quickly on the iris like a revolving lantern, and the cut-off images are sequentially skipped and edited, and the continuous sentences make people unable to understand. understand.

……damn it……………

The rain flooded up, and he was like a drowning man, with his outstretched hands struggling in vain, he could only watch helplessly as his body gradually sank, his consciousness was dragged into the deep sea, and the light spots in the distance gradually receded, finally being A torrent of darkness engulfs.

Levi closed his eyes reluctantly.
