[Attack on Titan] Junia's Diary of a Soldier

66.

Compared with Oruou who can take a bath after being rejected by Levi, the situation of Junia and Petola is much worse.Fortunately, people's ability to adapt is always stronger than imagined. Even the smell of nausea at the beginning becomes numb after half an hour.

"Well, let me guess, rotten fish with foot stink and bath water with rancid corn chowder?"

Junia's words distorted Petola's expression for a moment, and then she smiled with relief.

"I don't know which rich family's dinner in the capital, this taste is really delicious."

"Hey, I thought you'd ignore me or make fun of me..."

Junia looked teasingly at Petola, who was smiling at her, and found that there were black marks left by the dried sewage on the other's face, which was enough to imagine how embarrassed she must be now.

The two walked for nearly an hour in the damp and cold sewer, and Junia and the others finally came to a large passage with torches hanging on them. Thinking that it might be the main road of the underground street, Junia unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't brightly lit, but finally seeing this warm light reassured her a lot. Maybe it wouldn't be long before she could see other people.

People, as expected, are still flocking creatures who are afraid of being alone.

"Hey, new faces, there are still two girls haha." Two stooped figures approached from a distance, and the dim light of the fire blurred the two figures. Junia squinted her eyes and looked at them carefully. It was determined that the visitors were two men who were nearly middle-aged.

"Isn't it just looking for trouble?"

Petola felt very troubled by this. It had been like this since the training of the Corps. Everyone had a different view of who they were. Gender differences had been deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts. Women were inherently weaker than men.

Needing protection and care, easy to be targeted, easy to cry and timid, these are the labels that those people once put on them, but later they all overturned their views with their own strength.

They are part of the strongest Levi's class, of course Junia is under Hanji's now, although as far as Levi's behavior is concerned, Junia is the same as when Levi was in class, nothing has changed .

"Hey, they are wearing the clothes of the Survey Corps? The Survey Corps?!"

Approached a man who was more familiar with the situation on the surface and said something in surprise, then he quickly glanced at Junia and the others with his dimly shining eyes, then pulled another partner back and hurried back leave.

Junia sighed as she saw that the man was still whispering something in her partner's ear even after he left.

Sometimes the identity of the Survey Corps is really useful, but being chased by the Gendarmerie seems to become a new 'welfare'.

Along the main road, I saw more and more people, but most of them looked malnourished, their eye sockets were slightly sunken, and they spoke in a low voice, looking at Junia and the others vigilantly.

Feeling the hair on her temples being gently blown, Junia quickly realized that the wind meant that there was a place leading to the outside ahead. Sure enough, they continued walking for a while and arrived at the center of the underground street, just like It is the remains of a town underground.

Yes, remains.

The reason why Junia chose this word without hesitation was because all the buildings in the past were dilapidated, and some houses even seemed to be pushed up with a pile of picked up bricks and wood, which was inconceivably crumbling. Leaning like a dilapidated building that could collapse at any moment.

"The ground and the underground in the capital are really two extremes." Petola laughed, "But...it doesn't seem so easy for us to get out without three-dimensional mobile devices."

Tilting her head, Petola pointed to a crack where faint sunlight penetrated directly above the underground city. Junia frowned after making a preliminary estimate of the height.

But she understands that there must be a way to the outside, as for where is it leading?It is not known whether it is the tiger's mouth of the Gendarmerie, or the secret way to escape to heaven.

"There is no way to pass the news back to the Corps right now, but the Gendarmerie Corps should come to find the Commander and the others soon, so we have to live first."

"That is, otherwise Captain Levi will be very angry, he hates this kind of meaningless sacrifice the most."

Junia and Petola quickly reached an agreement that it was inevitable to spend the night in the underground street, and if the situation was not good, they might have to live in this place where they could only look up at the sky through the gap for a while.

----------

"You'd better have something important. Damn, did you wipe the soles of your shoes when you came in?"

Levi, who was dragged directly from the bed by Hanji, frowned so much that he could hold several sheets of paper. You must know that it was enough troublesome to deal with the Gendarmerie, and with Junia and the others not returning all night, Levi, who was just a little sleepy in a trance, was awakened by the noisy Hanji just as he sank into the darkness.

"Hey, don't pay too much attention to such details, this is a matter of life and death!"

"I'm not interested in anything that has anything to do with your life. I warn you not to use your dirty soles to guess the floor of my room." Levi wore a single shirt and a long black windbreaker inside. Just follow Han Ji on the aisle lit by candlelight.

"It's Ani." Han Ji gave the final answer with a smile, "Well, you used to swing your fist through the crystal back then, and now he came out by himself."

Hanji shrugged easily, and now Levi, who was still following Hanji, suddenly quickened his pace and walked towards the basement one step ahead.

"Aren't you going to ask about the situation?"

Hanji was a bit surprised by Levi's silence, but he was prepared for Levi's series of questions about how he would whet his appetite. After all, Hanji would never miss an opportunity if he could kill him.

"Anyway, that guy Erwin should already be there, just go and listen to him."

All in all, it means that Levi never counted on Hanji, well, Hanji nodded his chin helplessly and sighed, so he had no choice but to hurry up.

"But having said that, Levi." Hanji thought of something he was very concerned about and said behind Levi, "You don't seem to be particularly worried that Junia hasn't come back."

"Now there is no news from the Gendarmerie. No news is the best news."

Levi glanced at Hanji from the corner of his eye, wanting to see some gossip expression on his face, and looked ahead thoughtfully with the candlelight reflected in his eyes.

"I heard that you captured an arrogant lackey of the gendarmerie?"

"Well, keep your mouth tight. I'm not interested in extorting a confession. The leader has already handed it over to Sanmao."

"Hmph, that guy is indeed very experienced in the despicable method of extorting a confession."

"Alara, how do you say it as if you have been forced to confess... Hey, what kind of look..."

Han Ji was stunned by Levi's knife eyes that suddenly swept over, full of displeasure and murderous intent, as if he had touched something out of reach.

"It's nothing."

Faintly denied, the continuous downward slope of the stairs finally came to an end, pushed open the wooden door with heavy shackles, and saw Ani and Erwin sitting at both ends of the table with peaceful faces, the table in front of them There is also a cup of steaming tea on the table.

"Erwin."

Levi shouted, and Erwin naturally understood Levi's intention and made a gesture to Arnie to wait.

"I reached a certain consensus with her, she promised that they would assist us if it was the condition of overthrowing the mainland regime."

"them?"

Levi squinted his eyes and looked down at the cup. He didn't know what he was thinking. Arnie, the golden hair may have become a little dull due to the lack of nutrition in the crystal for a long time, and it was even stained with a touch of silver. The dark circles under his eyes are actually The sharpness in his eyes disappeared a lot.

"I, Bertolt and Reiner, I will persuade them."

Feeling Levi's distrust, the corners of Ani's mouth moved slightly and he explained, his voice was hoarse like a female voice in an old film record.

"Why should I trust you, a monster with no humanity at all?"

Levi asked back, smiling mockingly.

"Because our power is exactly what you need, isn't it? Whether it's used to overthrow the mainland or protect humans from fighting giants."

Ani's words hit the core of the status quo, and it cannot be denied, but once they meet this indifferent face, what happened in the forest of giant trees that day will be reversed in everyone's minds. Beat the soul hard on the tree.

"Hey, don't you think I'll forgive you for brutally killing my men?"

Levi's action was so fast that no one in the room had time to react, he kicked Ani from the chair to the wall beside him, stepped forward and grabbed Ani's loose hair and picked it up like The god of death who harvested souls from hell spoke like a god of death.

"how come……"

Ani's expression was like a frozen lake with no ripples visible, her eyes were as clear as water and purely without calculation.

Even if someone really could forgive what happened that day.

She will not let herself go.

No one has ever been born with a love of killing.
