[Attack on Titan] The Gate of Hakogawa

?#twenty two

The round water droplets from the height of tens of thousands of meters, under the action of gravity and the frictional force of the rapid fall, smashed to the ground, and the full round body burst when it hit the plane, and the finer water molecules Breaking free from the shackles of the round body, shattered raindrops splashed all over the ground.

Levi's pace of walking forward did not know when, from the beginning of a brisk walk, he gradually accelerated, and at the end, his feet had already started to run uncontrollably.

Intense gasps echoed in the ears, and the heart shrank like a drum, and every time he took a step, there was a deafening sound on the apex of his heart.

His breathing couldn't keep up with his body's absorption of oxygen, and the sprint made him lose the rhythm of breathing. The carbon dioxide he spit out was too late to be replaced by fresh oxygen, his lungs contracted and swelled greedily, and the smell of blood spread in his mouth.

It's just this level of running, why does it seem like he can't breathe, the muscles in his calf are already sore, and the violent pulling makes it give a warning that he can't bear it.

The scenery in the corridor kept receding. Even though his footsteps were already unsteady or even staggered, Levi did not slow down at all. He gritted his teeth, and the sound of rain, footsteps, and panting was noisy in his ears.

"Ellen!"

The moment he rushed into the basement, his body's motor functions stopped abruptly along with his abrupt steps, and his vision was filled with darkness for a while.

However, before the dizziness left, Levi couldn't wait to push open the door of the room.

When the door panel hit the wall and made a dull knocking sound, Levi also saw the view of the room clearly, together with the boy sitting on the bed and looking at him in astonishment.

"Old, Captain!?"

The cherry-haired boy stood up anxiously, and the moment he saw Levi rushing in, he didn't even know how to move his hands and feet.

However, his call did not get even a squeak of response from the other party.

The fire in the basement was erratic, and the moment Levi broke into the room, the influx of air slapped the already flickering candle even more violently, making it difficult to see Levi's expression clearly, and the other person's entire face was hidden in the in the shadows.

"Soldiers,"

"Where's Allen?"

Levi interrupted Jean's words before he could finish, his voice was sombre as if it came from the abyss underground, even if Levi's face could not be seen, just the frozen air around the other party made Jean Trembling unconsciously.

"Ai, Ai Lun? I, I don't know who you are talking about, here, only, only I live here..." Even though he was afraid, Jean still mustered up the courage to finish the sentence intermittently.

Even if she is not a slender and sensitive woman, she can feel the indescribable disappointment in the opposite person flowing all over the sky the moment her voice falls.

He swallowed hard, feeling as if he had aphasia for a moment, and the other party's emotions were too strong and too desperate. Although he didn't know what the other party's expected answer was, he felt that he should say some comforting words, even if He'd never seen Levi like this, and never imagined.

"Soldier..."

In fact, he hadn't thought about what to say, but Jean blurted out the title subconsciously. At that moment, he seemed quite at a loss. However, the person hiding in the shadow opposite him asked the question abruptly in a tone that made it difficult to distinguish emotions. .

"Why live here?"

"Eh?"

Levi walked forward slowly, his eyes looked straight at Jean calmly, the shadows covering half of his body gradually receded, the gloomy and manic atmosphere at the previous moment seemed to be an illusion, and at this moment, only the calm vision was left. Understand.

Obviously the courage of the other party has eased down, but Jean feels that the atmosphere surrounding the basement is like the calm before the storm, which is frighteningly oppressive.

It was strange, terrifying, and weighed as much as a thousand catties. He suddenly felt regretful. He faced all this with such a careless attitude and self-righteousness. His answer was too hasty.

But it is impossible not to answer, even if he is starting to regret it now, he has already memorized those words by heart, and he has memorized them fluently

"Eh, because, because I will become a giant, if it is in the basement, even if I lose control, I can easily subdue it... Isn't that what you said, Captain?"

Facing such a reply that was perfectly in line with his memory, Levi was slightly taken aback, but the short-term hesitation was quickly dissipated by the rising anger, an anger of being fooled.

"Ha, you really did not miss a single word. You said you are a giant?"

Levi raised the corners of his mouth, his vulture eyes stared at Jean, he was obviously smiling but people couldn't feel the smile at all, it was not so much a smile as it was something opposite, for example, sarcasm.

He is waiting for his answer, so he knows this very clearly, but he has no way to give an answer immediately. This question is straightforward and simple, and it couldn't be easier to answer, but I don't know why, maybe it can be said to be intuition Well, Ling Rang couldn't answer right away.

Levi was looking forward to his answer, his lead gray eyes were full of desperate bets, his answer seemed to be important information about the situation that the two countries were at war, he was confirming what was going on with this question, as long as he got the answer , he is no longer confused.

Jean subconsciously looked towards the corner of the sky, with a sense of asking for help, and then his body froze, and his divergent eyes focused on Levi again.

"Er, yes, I can indeed become a giant... So, should it be considered?" He said this sentence in an uncertain tone, but he said it with the meaning of breaking the boat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jean immediately looked at Levi nervously to observe the other party's reaction, but Levi remained silent, and the expression on his face made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

However, not long after, Jean heard an extremely slight sigh of relief, and this sigh came from the person in front of him.

"You are not Alan. Even if that kid was once confused, he still firmly believes that he is a human being."

"He won't say that he is a giant."

Does Ellen in this world really not exist?Is the boy in front of him the projection of Allen in this world?Are they clones with exactly the same life experience, exactly the same experience, and exactly the same ideal?That's what Levi wants to confirm.

Let it be Allen.

If Jean's answer is not the case, he will go crazy instead, because it means that Allen only appears in his own dreams.

Fortunately, it wasn't, that's why he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so lucky.

Allen is unique, not a projection or a doppelganger of anyone, he's just—he hasn't been found yet.

"I don't know why you want to imitate him, Jean Kirchstein, you are a member of the Survey Corps, and you are a graduate of the 104th class with Alan. I don't even understand why you are here now. Pretend to be Ellen, but I guess it was Erwin's idea?"

Jean Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Levi speechless, his expression was so shaken that he couldn't say a word for a while.

Then he suddenly trembled all over, as if he had received an electric shock, and his whole body froze there.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and said hesitantly, "I... don't know what you're talking about. There is no name Alan among the 104th graduates..." Halfway through the sentence, he was already a little bit at a loss for words, but just turned his face away .

"Do you still insist on saying that?"

Levi looked at Jean firmly, but the other party didn't have the courage to look back, and the boy seemed determined not to speak anymore.

Levi was silent for a moment before turning to leave.

He didn't think about those strange attitudes and changes, those expressions that were eager to tell him something but desperately suppressed, and even the other party often subconsciously glanced towards a certain point in the air, these were not important.

As long as you find Erwin, everything will be revealed.

But this time, Levi was wrong.
