[Attack on Titan] The Gate of Hakogawa

?Someone was crying in his ear. He could not see the tears, but the sobbing sound never stopped. It was different from the heart-piercing mourning he was familiar with. It was more like hovering at the end of despair. There was nothing left to lose , mourning as if self-deprecating.

It's so sad, can't even shed tears?

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but search for the other person's face.

I don't know what state I am in, dreaming?still awake?Are your eyes open?Still closed?

But it didn't seem to matter, he could see that person, the figure of that person was facing away from him, the shadow lingered on that person's body, half of his body was dissolved in the darkness.

Wanting to know the identity of that person, there is a gentle familiarity in his heart that urges him to move forward, towards that person.

He took a step forward, wanting to move towards that figure, but his steady steps became chaotic because of the inexplicable urgency in his heart. He didn't know when it started, but his feet were already running fast.

However, no matter how he moved forward, the distance between the two remained unchanged, and that figure was still looming in the darkness, as if it would assimilate with the darkness at any time and disappear completely.

No, you can't let him disappear.

A voice in his heart said so, he didn't resist, but followed this thought, he stretched out his hand, as if this could shorten the distance between the two.

"□□"

He was taken aback for a moment, just now, a name came out of his mouth involuntarily, but he couldn't hear what he said, and he didn't know the meaning of the words spoken in his mouth.

However, that person's back froze suddenly, and the other person seemed to have heard his call, and that person's whole body trembled, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of effort to stop the trembling of his body.

Although that person's movements were so stiff and difficult, he still turned his head slowly and hesitantly.

who are you?let me see your face-

The man's face turned slowly, and the darkness moved on his face.

He subconsciously held his breath and took a step forward. However, the smooth road suddenly sank for some reason, and the ground turned into a huge black hole. The darkness was like quicksand, and the foot that stepped on the air made him fall instantly.

Perhaps it was the darkness that slowed down his senses. He failed to react to the sudden incident, but stared blankly at the hole, which was slightly brighter than the darkness below him, getting farther and farther away.

Just a little bit short, at the moment before the fall, the blurred face slowly turned to his face, and the lips opened and closed gently.

"Levi"

He heard his name and woke up with a start.

Levi blinked hard, which cleared his chaotic mind. Unlike in the past, this time he clearly remembered the content of the dream.

Stretching out his hand to caress the position of his heart, there is a sense of melancholy accumulated there, but he doesn't know where the emotion comes from.

It's just a dream, he told himself, don't worry about it, it doesn't matter who the person with his back is.

It's just a dream.

He reminded himself again, but didn't notice the clenched fist in his left hand.

"The opening and closing doors connecting the inland area and the Sigansina area have been closed. With the body evacuated and the entire area sealed off, it will take about half a day to clear all the giants in the area."

In the conference room, Erwin sat at the head of the large cypress table, and Han Ji and a thin man sat on both sides of the table.

The man was originally Sanmao Zacharias' deputy. After Sanmao's death, he was promoted to the position of team leader. At this moment, he is reporting the progress of the current combat mission to Erwin.

"After the actual inspection by the soldiers, it was determined that the fixed guns originally installed on the city wall were rusted and corrupted and were not enough for use. Therefore, the plan to gather the giants under the city wall and kill them with cannons could not be implemented."

"That means you can only kill them one by one?"

Holding his chest with his right hand, Han Ji put the elbow of his left hand on his right arm, while fiddling with the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, while tilting his feet, his mouth curled into a strange arc.

"Yes, judging from the current situation, this is the only way. Fortunately, there are not many giants gathered in the urn city, so there should not be too many casualties."

Facing Han Ji's sudden interjection, the man turned his eyes away from Erwin and turned to the madman with a hard-to-discern expression. He seemed to be used to the other party's inexplicable convulsions, and the man still answered in a calm tone.

"Then—is it okay to keep two more for me?"

Han Ji suddenly let go of the hand that was playing with the frame, leaned forward suddenly, and leaned in front of the man's face. His breath became rapid, and a series of dull and slightly nervous giggles came from the depths of his chest. Behind it is a madness that is too hot to be seen directly.

The man didn't answer, but looked directly at Erwin, as if intending to throw this question to the highest officer of the corps.

"You will get it."

Erwin folded his hands and rested his elbows on the table. His expression was calm and calm, and his voice was warm and mellow.

"The guys from the Gendarmerie won't come to disrupt the situation this time, will they?"

Han Ji tilted his head slightly, looking at Erwin with a kind of contempt for watching the show.

"I think they don't have the energy. Your Excellency, the President, has agreed to my plan to recapture the Wall of Maria. Our army will form a joint force with the Garrison Corps and the Gendarmerie to wipe out the wall of Maria. All giants."

"After all, the inland area between the Wall of Maria and the Wall of Rosai is too vast. It is not realistic to rely solely on the power of the survey corps to eliminate the giants in the wall. Therefore, when I proposed this plan, Nai That guy was so angry that his eyeballs almost popped out, but he couldn't raise any objections."

Erwin smiled slightly, and it seemed that he was quite happy to be able to make his old enemy, the head of the gendarmerie division Neldec, eat a turtle.

"However, that being said, the progress will not be so fast. There are still many areas to be coordinated regarding the joint forces. The survey corps will use the Sigansina District as its base for the time being. The first task is to dig out the basement of Allen's house. .”

Erwin tightened his palms and tapped his knuckles on the table to make a conclusion. However, Han Ji, who had been pondering at the side, suddenly raised his head, as if thinking of something, he let out a loud exclamation.

"Almost forgot, that, the key to the basement that Levi found in Allen's room is the one that hangs around Allen's neck."

"Oh?"

A surprised light flashed in Erwin's eyes, but before he could say anything, there was a loud bang, and the tenons on the door panel were suddenly cracked, and the originally closed door was kicked open. The door panel couldn't bear such tossing at all, and fell straight on the ground, bringing dust all over the sky.

Dust mites and dust cling to Han Ji's lenses, blurring his vision. He had to take off his glasses and squint his eyes. However, when the faint figure that appeared from behind the door panel spoke, he Feeling the blood in his body congeal instantly, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist.

"You must have already thought about your last words, you bastard Four Eyes."

──Oops, the Great Demon King has awakened.

At the moment before his head was smashed into the cypress table, Han Ji didn't think about it.
