[Attack on Titan] Shooting History of Tongyan Giant Dwarf
Chapter 34 The Long Night Before Dawn
It was already afternoon when Kamiki returned to the medical class.Instead of going back to her ward, she went to see Petra.Although she planned to visit Schiller after meeting Petra, when she stood in front of the girl's hospital bed, Kamiki found that Petra's spirit was not particularly good.
If Petra is only worried about Roger's near assassination, then Kamiki can understand.But she clearly saw a kind of uneasiness in the amber eyes of the girl opposite.
Kamikizaki couldn't describe Petra's expression, but she knew that Petra had something on her mind.It's just that Petra didn't mean to speak until the moment Shen Muqi left.
After that, Kamikizaki stopped by to see Schiller.Very rarely, alone with Schiller, there was an awkward silence that was incomprehensible.From the beginning to the end, only Kamiki asked some innocuous questions, and Schiller's answers were also casual.
The moment she stepped out of the ward, Shen Muqi only felt that the temperature in the corridor was very low, so low that she shivered.
From that day on, perhaps she wanted Shenmizaki to recover from her injuries in peace of mind. During the days in the medical class, except for occasional visits, almost no one came to see her.
Shenmizaki knew very well that Erwin had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, such as the pocket watch.Kamikizaki is an indispensable member of the investigation.After all, all the incidents now are caused by the medical notes, and Shen Muqi is the person who is most familiar with the notes.
Hanji's two conversations have sorted out all the clues they now know, including some mysteries that have not yet been solved.It is better for Shenmuzaki to stay in the medical class safely, so the few times Han Ji came to visit her, he did not bring up any topic of investigation.
Speaking of injuries, the injury on Kamiki's forehead is actually not serious.Ignoring the other minor injuries on her body, the only thing that prevented her from getting out of bed was her left foot, which was cast.Even though he knew that his left foot was inconvenient, Kamiki still jumped around on one foot from time to time, provided that his left foot would not be injured again.
On the other side, Petra was not seriously injured because the internal organs were not cut by the dagger.On Schiller's side, I heard that the guy returned to the Corps after only two weeks in the hospital, so Shenmizaki has no news about him.
Therefore, in general, Shen Muqi's days in the medical class were very ordinary.Or rather, it was too peaceful.
As a result, whenever she thought of Vera in the middle of the night, she no longer wrapped herself in a quilt, but opened her eyes and looked at the tree shadows outside the window, and then fell asleep slowly, having a long dream.
Kamikizaki handed himself over to time.Then, everything seemed to be forgotten soon.
This may be a good thing.
Since being attacked, Petra seems to be a different person, not very talkative and preoccupied.Although Petra would come to the medical class to accompany Kamikizaki in her free time, most of the time, the two of them were silent.
This situation has been going on for several weeks.Kamiki thought that before she returned to the Corps, Petra probably planned to keep silent like this, but a dialogue with Petra one evening made Kamiki feel that what happened recently was not as simple as she thought .
It was late at that time, the sun was setting, and there were no lights in the room. The warm orange halo dyed the whole white ward into a warm tone.The visiting time was coming to an end, and Petra got up and walked to the door.The moment she turned around, Kamiki thought that Petra just wanted to say goodbye to her, but never thought that Petra would ask her such a question.
"Saki, if what you have always believed in is different from what you imagined, what would you do?"
The light in the room was very dark, and Shen Muqi could only faintly see half of the figure hidden in the shadows.All the words were frozen into silence, and Kamiki was unable to find a suitable answer to respond to Petra's question.
But Petra didn't intend to get an answer from Shenmizaki, she just stayed at the door for a while, looked at Shenmaki as if nothing, and then left.
There was no sound of footsteps at all, as if afraid of disturbing the dead silence in the room.
Shen Muqi stared at the place where Petra disappeared for a long time, so long that the afterglow of the setting sun could not be seen outside the window, and only the cold darkness remained in the ward.
Petra may know something, but she says nothing.Is it because the words stuck on her lips are just Petra's speculation, or the truth she knows is so ridiculous that she can't tell it.If there is a choice, Shenmizaki hopes to be the first one.
At least that way, there is room for refutation.
Shen Kizaki, who was distracted, didn't notice Levi who appeared at the door.The captain's visit is indeed rare, because he hasn't seen her since he sent Shenmizaki back to the medical class last time.
It has been almost a month since that unbearable expedition. Yes, it is really unbelievable that Shenmizaki can stay in the medical class for a month.But one month, no matter how you say it, seems too long.
Levi frowned as soon as he entered the door, the room was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, and he couldn't even confirm whether Kamiki was in the room.Levi stood at the door and glanced in the direction of the hospital bed.Although Kamiki can't see Levi's expression at the moment, he can still clearly hear the unhappiness in his tone.
"Why don't you light the lights?"
Pulled back to reality by a very abrupt sentence, Kamiki Saiki straightened up awkwardly, then fumbled for the candle without even raising his head.
Levi keenly heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something, and cast a pair of dead fish eyes impatiently, "What are you dawdling for? Come with me."
Shen Muqi paused the movements in his hands and looked around vigilantly, "Let's go? What are you going to do? Do you want to put me first (beep) and then (beep)?"
Levi expressed his contempt for Shenmizaki's words with a short word "嗤".Because of what he was about to say next, his voice carried imperceptible joy, "The vacation is over, now follow me back to the Corps."
……
Alvin was surprised that Levi dragged Shenmizaki back to the corps at night, because he just mentioned to Levi this afternoon that Shenmizaki should return to the headquarters as soon as possible. Afterwards, he dragged Shen Muzaki, who was staying in the medical class, back.
Of course, the head of the group didn't say much, he just smiled with some unknown meaning.Noticing Erwin's wretched (?) smile, Levi's face became extremely ugly.
Before the commander's face was completely black, Erwin called Shen Mizaki to the conference room in time.Originally planned to talk to Shenmizaki again in a few days, but now that Shenmizaki has returned to the Corps, Alvin intends to explain all recent things to her.
The first is about a letter sent by President Zakray.
"One week after the expedition ended, the president sent someone to deliver the letter." Alvin found a letter from the desk drawer and handed it to Shen Kizaki, "The president wants to talk to you, but because of your feet, so I postponed the date of the meeting for a month after consulting the President."
Shen Muqi opened the envelope and glanced at the contents of the letter, "Just me?"
"No." Alvin sat on the sofa across from Shenmizaki, "When the time comes, Levi, Hanji and I will accompany you to the mainland. After all, I don't feel at ease with you alone."
Shen Muqi nodded, "However, it's not good to mobilize the crowd."
"Escort?"
"Sorry, it's the bodyguard."
"...Shenmu, you must have misunderstood."
"Is it running errands?"
"..."
Alvin regained his demeanor and said solemnly, "There are two things to do in the mainland this time. The first is to meet President Zackrey. The president should ask questions at that time, you just need to tell what you know. And, if you can, talk as little as possible."
Shen Muzaki lowered his head in distress, "Is it true that the survey corps' promotion of democracy to the outside world is all nonsense? To be deprived of even the right to speak is really a beast."
Alvin decided to ignore, "The second thing..."
"You finally decided to grab Zachary's wife." Shen Muqi looked contemptuous when he spoke.
"...Shenmu, I don't quite understand what you mean." Alvin still couldn't hold back, and raised his forehead.
"Commander, you are illiterate."
"..."
"...Shenmu, let's talk about business..."
"Yes, but I sincerely hope that before that, the leader will ask you to establish a correct and positive outlook on life."
"..."
It’s a good thing Levi’s not here... Otherwise, looking at Shenmizaki’s serious face and Levi’s expression of enjoying the show, the leader will definitely burst into tears (fog)...
After returning to the topic, Erwin told Kamiki that their investigation of the pocket watch has so far turned up nothing.
The matter of notes must be put aside first, the most troublesome thing right now is the murderer lurking inside the corps, that is, the one who attacked Vera and Roger.Since all incidents point to the notes, Alvin draws an inference——the person who destroyed the file on Shenmizaki's mother in the corps roster is most likely the same person as the lurker of the corps.
So the biggest problem facing Alvin is how to find out the real culprit.Because once the real culprit is not subdued, even if Shenmizaki successfully retrieves the notes, he cannot guarantee the safety of the notes.
If the enemy was only outsiders of the Corps (although they always believed that the murderer was someone inside the Corps, it cannot be denied that the other party had no external support), maybe Erwin would not let Shenmizaki get involved while her injuries were not fully recovered. into these surveys.The only thing he was afraid of was that the unknown guy would sneak into every corner where no one could see.
Having said that, Kamikizaki interjected about Roger's situation.Alvin said that since Roger woke up, he has been sending more soldiers to monitor him, and no accidents have happened so far.
It's just that Roger couldn't find any useful clues. When he learned that he was almost killed, Roger was obviously shocked.Because of this, the investigation has made no progress since that day.
At the end of the conversation, Alvin took out the pocket watch found in the basement of Shenmu Qi's house, "Shenmu, Hanji should show you this thing."
Seeing Shen Muqi nod, Alvin put the pocket watch on the table, "This pocket watch doesn't seem to belong to the common people, so I plan to send it to the mainland for investigation, maybe we can find clues among the nobles."
Shen Muqi tilted his head, expressionless, "You're dreaming again, Captain. Do you think that group of nobles who are assholes will look at you?"
Erwin resisted the urge to rub his forehead, and explained, "In the name of the head of the regiment and the entire investigative corps, I will ask the Gendarmerie to assist in the investigation. I will send someone from President Zachary's side to investigate with the help of the president. It shouldn't be too difficult."
"In the name of the leader?" Shen Muqi suddenly realized, "You really think highly of yourself, leader. However, proper modesty is necessary, and be careful of being overthrown by others."
Alvin frowned.
Then the group leader sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Since your mother is a doctor, she must have visited the mainland for medical visits. This pocket watch is the only clue so far. If all goes well in this investigation in the mainland, Maybe the owner of the pocket watch can be found."
In the end, Erwin greeted Shen Mizaki in advance. If there were no accidents, Shen Mizaki would go to the mainland with Erwin, Levi and others in the next few days to make her ready.
Of course, it is really difficult to get those nobles to cooperate with the investigation, even the gendarmerie dare not disobey the nobles.but……
Alvin looked at the back of Shen Muqi getting up and walking towards the door, and suddenly remembered a person.
If it's him, maybe it's okay...
As if sensing Erwin's sight, Shenmizaki turned his head, his eyes fixed.
"Captain, I've always wanted to ask you a question."
Elving felt his heart skip a beat, and immediately replied, "It's too late today, what's the matter..."
Shen Muzaki did not give the leader a chance to complete the sentence, and quickly cut off the sentence that Erwin hadn't had time to say, "Are you wearing a wig all the time?"
"..."
……
Going back to the room where Vera lived in the past, Kamikizaki did not turn on the light.
This seems to have become a habit she developed in the medical class.
Later Petra asked her why she didn't light the lamps after dark.The answer Kamikizaki gave back to Petra at that time was just a simple sentence...
"One lamp cannot illuminate the whole world."
But when the lights dim, it means dawn is coming.
The lights are turned off, and the moment when the dawn rises is not far away.
If life and death can be used as a period, then after that, it must be a new beginning.
She couldn't say such words as killing enemies with one hand.
But at this moment, Kamikizaki secretly made up his mind.In the following investigation, no matter what, she will give the dead Vera an explanation.
If Petra is only worried about Roger's near assassination, then Kamiki can understand.But she clearly saw a kind of uneasiness in the amber eyes of the girl opposite.
Kamikizaki couldn't describe Petra's expression, but she knew that Petra had something on her mind.It's just that Petra didn't mean to speak until the moment Shen Muqi left.
After that, Kamikizaki stopped by to see Schiller.Very rarely, alone with Schiller, there was an awkward silence that was incomprehensible.From the beginning to the end, only Kamiki asked some innocuous questions, and Schiller's answers were also casual.
The moment she stepped out of the ward, Shen Muqi only felt that the temperature in the corridor was very low, so low that she shivered.
