Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Panting on the railing of the field, his hands and feet were numb and unable to move, the hand holding the knife was covered with dazzling blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of the corpse lying on the ground.

"So it was you who made such a big fuss, but the move just now is really nostalgic." A familiar voice came from the back of the head.

Taking a deep breath, Vanessa woke up from her sleep, her eyes wide open.Pulling open the neckline and looking at the bandage wrapped around her right upper arm, Vanessa confirmed that she was not dreaming.She covered her forehead, her head was extremely heavy.What lies ahead of her now will be an extremely difficult road.

The low sound of the wake-up horn sounded, and the devil-style training of the Survey Corps was about to begin again.

After the morning run, Fitch, Vanessa, Casey, and Dale sat together for breakfast as usual in the training corps. Fitch looked at the friends around him, both happy and emotional: "We We can eat together again, and if Benson is here, then we will be together again."

Vanessa and Kathy nodded slowly, both looking unhappy.After all, both of them wanted to join the Gendarmerie, but ended up in the Investigation Corps somehow. The difference in treatment cannot be measured by money.

"Vanessa, why don't you apply to the regiment commander to join the Garrison Corps? Even if the treatment is not as good as that of the Military Police Corps, staying in the Survey Corps is too risky." Fitch asked puzzled.

"Although the work of the Garrison Corps is relatively peaceful, there are very few chances to make military achievements, unless that super giant breaks the wall again." Vanessa said half-jokingly.

"So you want to..."

"As long as you can make enough military exploits, can't you also get the right of residence in the mainland?" Vanessa raised her head, and her eyes fell on Erwin and other high-level officials over many investigators. "According to my investigation, those who The officers actually have the right of residence in the Mainland, but they don’t use it.”

"Indeed..." Fitch turned to Casey, "What about you?"

Casey responded, "I think so too. If I can obtain the right of residence in the Mainland, then I can reduce more of the burden on my family."

Fei Qi and Dai Er glanced at each other, and then looked at the other two who had their own concerns.

It seems that something invisible is changing quietly.

After another day of physical training, the recruits of the Survey Corps dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory.Daier found that although she could see Levi every day, she didn't have many opportunities to talk to him.Levi has been aloofly ordering them to do this training and that training, and from time to time he scolds those slow-moving people for 'holding a stool'. Fortunately, his hands and feet are still dexterous, otherwise he may not be able to escape 'shit dripping' fate.

After taking a shower, Dai'er wiped her hair with a towel, but the towel's water absorption capacity was limited, so she couldn't dry her hair very dry.It is easy to get sick if you sleep without drying your hair, so Daier decided to walk around the training ground twice so that her hair could dry faster.

The wind at night was very cool. As she walked, Dai'er thought back to the days after she joined the Survey Corps. The biggest change was Vanessa. Before, she should have taken her to the bathhouse and the training ground to blow off air together. However, After dinner, she had disappeared.

"Little devil, what are you doing here at night?" Levi suddenly appeared in front of Dai'er.

Dai'er was surprised that she had walked downstairs to the chief's dormitory without knowing it.

"My hair isn't dry, I just came out to blow dry." Dai'er asked Levi, "Where's brother?"

"I saw a figure sneaking up to the back door just now, so I came down to confirm."

"Really? Didn't you see anyone when I came?"

She didn't even notice him standing in front of her at such a big man, let alone expect her to see others, he took out a bunch of keys, "You go to my room first, I have something to ask you later .”

"Okay." Dale tiptoed upstairs with the key Levi threw her in both hands.

Levi's room is different from the office. Although there is a writing desk in the officer's dormitory, it is not as big as the office, and there are no piles of documents on it.Next to the writing desk is a very comfortable big bed, and against the wall is a large dark wardrobe.A bookshelf and a small table with teacups and teapots are placed near the window.Apart from that, there is almost no other furniture in the room, which is simple and tidy.

Although Dai'er came to Levi's dormitory for the first time, when she saw the bed, she couldn't help sitting on it and bouncing it, "It's so soft..." Then she just lay on it and rolled back and forth, "I want a bed too. A bed like this..."

Although no one was guarding the back door of the Survey Corps, it was a short and heavy iron fence door embedded in the high wall. The door was locked all the year round, and it was generally not easy to open.The location of the back door is relatively remote, and it is almost dark at night. If it weren't for the sky full of stars, it would be impossible to tell where is the wall and where is the sky.

Levi hid in the corner and looked back, and found that a person was talking to another person outside the door. The person outside the door was holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, so he could clearly see the person's face. He was about 20 years old man.And the person inside the door was indeed Vanessa.

Doubt (1)

One advantage of a secluded place is that you can clearly hear other people's whispers.

"Come with me and hide in my house until 'the day'."

"I won't go back with you. What's the difference between a day like that and being under house arrest."

"But at least you can be guaranteed to be alive. The investigation outside the wall is no joke."

"Don't waste your efforts, I have nothing now, your father will not do such a stupid thing."

"I'll figure it out, trust me..."

"Don't come here to look for me next time, it's easy to get into trouble."

After overhearing some inexplicable conversations intermittently, Levi didn't continue to listen, but left quietly.He could recognize the person who spoke to Vanessa even if he was wearing civilian clothes. At the banquet in the capital, one of the many noble children that Erwin introduced to him was a councilor who opposed the Survey Corps, Russell Senator's son, named Crick (Crick).To be entangled with such a nobleman, Levi felt that it was necessary to talk to Erwin and ask him to check the details of Vanessa.

As soon as he got back to the dormitory, Levi saw that Del was lying on his bed and refused to get up, the sheets and bedding were all crumpled by her.But he has no time to be angry now, sitting sideways on the chair in front of the writing desk, with one hand resting on the back of the chair casually, Levi asked, "How much do you know about Vanessa?"

Dai'er lay on her back on the bed and looked at the ceiling, "I just remember that she seemed to say that she was from the north, and then moved to the south with her parents."

"Gone?"

Dai'er tried hard to think back, and was surprised to find that she couldn't tell more about her bunk bunk who had been with her for three years.Sitting up straight, Dai'er shook her head in disappointment.

"I see, you just pretend that what happened tonight didn't happen."

"Yes." Dai'er subconsciously stood up and responded very formally.She realized that what Levi said just now was an order given to her by an officer.Seeing Levi's serious thinking, she was suddenly very worried about whether something serious happened to Vanessa.

After smoothing the crumpled bed, Dill said goodbye to Levi and returned to the dormitory.In fact, regarding Vanessa, Dai'er has more or less guessed that she is actually a "down and out" nobleman who has been anonymous for some reason, just like herself.But Dill neither told Levi nor confronted Vanessa, just as Levi doubted her identity but didn't mention it to anyone, nor forced her to make it clear.

In the hallway of the dormitory, Del saw Vanessa again.But Vanessa only greeted her softly and walked straight into her dormitory without saying a word.

A few days later, Erwin called Levi to the office, and he took out a file and put it on the table, "This is the file I asked the military police to call out at the same time. As you said, Vanessa S. Tork was indeed born in the northern part of the Ross Wall, and moved to live in the southern part of the Ross Wall with his parents three years ago. Both parents are ordinary farmers, nothing special."

"But..." Erwin added: "Not long ago, the day before she reported for duty, both parents died unexpectedly at the hands of robbers. She was there when the home was attacked, but fortunately she was a trained soldier, So she fought off the gangsters and survived."

"What did you say?" Levi stepped forward to pick up the document and opened it to read, "This will explain why that guy has always put on a dead face recently."

Doubt (2)

Although it seems to have figured out the basic situation of Vanessa, there is an even more strange problem now. If her parents are farmers, it is unlikely that Vanessa has anything to do with nobles.

Erwin continued to ask, "What did you hear that night?"

"That man seems to want Vanessa to go to his house, but she insists on staying in the Survey Corps."

A peasant girl hooked up with a young aristocratic man, and discussed such intimate things as going to the man's house. Erwin couldn't help but suspect that they might have a relationship between men and women that was not acceptable to other nobles.

This is interesting.

"One more thing. Vanessa's wish to join the group seems to have been changed."

"Are you sure?" Erwin immediately felt that something was wrong.

"If Dai'er is not mistaken."
