As the Survey Corps army completely entered the Wallmaria area, the open city gate gradually descended and returned to the closed state.

The people on both sides of the city's main road were discussing the topic of the investigation outside the wall, scattered in all directions, and the streets and alleys returned to the lively scene in the past.

Now that Allen's wish to witness the investigation corps' heroic appearance has been fulfilled, Shenmizaki's mission today is more than half completed, and now as long as the three little ghosts are sent to the training corps safely, she will have nothing to do.

Just as Shenmizaki was planning in this way, Alan's stomach beside him groaned unceremoniously, announcing the tragic fact that he ran to the Trost area with blood all over his face in the morning and forgot to eat breakfast.

In fact, Shenmizaki could choose to ignore it, but when she looked at the three little guys above who clearly rolled the words "I'm hungry, please eat me", Shenmizaki's facial muscles trembled like a motor.

So, Erwin sold her to the training corps because he wanted these bastards with no hair to destroy her...

Sure enough, the leader is narrow-minded, and he is still thinking about how to get revenge on her.

Shenmizaki looked for a restaurant that was already open everywhere, and it was rare to invite a second customer.Bread, eggs, and milk are all available on the table. I am afraid that there is no chance to enjoy such a nutritious breakfast in the training regiment.Shen Muqi held a cup and sipped milk, and occasionally raised his eyelashes to look at the three little furry children who were eating happily opposite him, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Even with the bread stuffed in his mouth, it didn't affect Allen's questions about the Survey Corps. With a soldier from the Survey Corps like Kamikizaki as his classmate, Allen talked about topics related to the Survey Corps. .

In the end, the extremely impatient Shen Muqi put down the cup in his hand, wiped the white circle around his mouth, "Don't talk while eating."

Allen, who hadn't asked the next question, was taken aback, "Eh? Why?"

Shenmu Saiyun calmly threw a few words, "You reveal your IQ when you speak."

"..."

I am used to this kind of law, and it can be said that it can only be overthrown if it is placed on Shen Muzaki.Obviously having been together for a while, Allen found that he still couldn't avoid the embarrassing situation when facing Shenmizaki.

Seeing this, Mikasa tore off a piece of bread and stuffed it into Allen's mouth, "Eat well."

Pulled back to his senses by Mikasa, Alan chewed the lightly sweet bread, probably because he was worried about Mikasa's actions just now, Alan mumbled, "I'm not a child..."

"Allen, you'd better ask less questions, Shenmu looks very impatient..." Armin tugged at Alan's trousers in a place where Shenmaki could not see, and reminded in a low voice.

Only then did he realize that Shen Kizaki's patience had been caused by his uninterrupted inquiries just now, Allen looked up and stared at Shen Kizaki for a few seconds.It happened that Kamikizaki noticed his little move, and the girl squinted in disdain.

Shen Muqi's domineering, cool and handsome posture once again made Allen ashamed, and murmured involuntarily, "Anyway, he can be regarded as a senior, and he should take care of the younger generation..."

Shenmizaki moved his ears dexterously, expressionless, "I'll listen to the call 'Senior'."

"..."

Alan, who was reminded by Mikasa again to "eat well", finally petrified and lowered his head to bite the bread seriously.

Kamiki stuffed the oranges into his mouth one by one, silently looking at the surrounding scenery.When he caught a glimpse of the person standing outside in front of the fruit stand for a long time, Shenmizaki paused slightly when he chewed the fruit.

Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, she could tell from the dilemma on the face of the fruit stand owner. The guy seemed to be standing there blocking other people's business for a long time.

Normally, normal people go to the fruit stand to buy fruit.Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that customers are interested in the stall owner and want to harass him.As a woman, Kamiki is a bit weaker in terms of bust size, but as a woman's sixth sense will still play its due role from time to time.

Like this time.

"Do you feel like someone is watching us?"

As soon as Shenmizaki finished speaking, Allen began to turn his head and look around vigilantly.

Mikasa put one hand on the top of Alan's head, forcing him to stop this blatant action, "Don't act so ostentatious, Alan."

Armin tried his best to search for "that person" Shenmizaki said within the range of vision, and asked, "Shenmu, do you have any basis for saying that?"

Shen Muzaki spoke lightly, with an expression that should be taken for granted, "A woman's intuition."

Armin: "..."

"A woman's intuition?" Allen thought for a while, looked at Shen Muqi for a while, and turned his head a little guilty, "That must be your illusion..."

Shenmizaki's originally indifferent appearance suddenly had a tendency to explode, "Do you think I don't know that you are looking down on my cups?"

Allen: "..."

Talk of stalkers continued until the end of breakfast.Of course, Shenmizaki and the others failed to discuss a result, so after she paid the money, she urged the three of Allen to return to the Corps as soon as possible.

Before leaving, she purposely glanced back at the fruit stand secretly, and the guy standing there had disappeared at some point.

Kamiki tilted his head in confusion.I really hope that, as Allen said, it was just her illusion...

It was actually almost noon when Alan was sent back to the training corps.

After returning to the corps, the only feeling Shen Muqi felt was that he was tired.Puberty kids are all hyperthyroid patients, or just like Han Ji, they have kidney function problems that lead to excessive adrenaline secretion.

Speaking of Han Ji, Shen Muqi sat in the library and looked out the window. Those from the Survey Corps should be back soon.

Kamiki thinks she has no one to worry about, but she actually has to admit that she is worried about Petra and Schiller.

Sure enough, it's been a long time since we met, so the two names were a little distant at the moment she recalled them.

Shen Muqi flipped through the files casually, and it was an undeniable fact that her investigation found nothing.Otherwise, after Alvin came back, he offered to go to the mainland to assist in the investigation, so that he could get closer to the truth faster.

However, the so-called truth... Kanmiki quickly filtered many fragments in his mind.

The strangeness outside the wall was attacked.

Vera's death.

Problematic reagents that accelerate cellular senescence.

Roger is nearly assassinated.

The body found in the basement of her house and the pocket watch.

Including... today's mystery stalker.

What connects these details are medical notes.

Sandora sealed all the news about the notes very tightly, except for Shenmizaki, even Kleist probably didn't know about it.

Although I don't know exactly how the news leaked out, the fact that the enemy hiding in the dark covets the notes already shows that her current situation is not optimistic.

Shen Muqi thinks that her logical ability is not as good as that of Han Ji, and it is difficult for her to come up with a convincing guess here by herself.

Just as she was thinking alone, there was a short knock on the door.

Generally speaking, the only ones who would come here to find her were Alvin and the others.Could it be that the Survey Corps has returned from an expedition?

Kamiki walked to the side of the door, grabbed the doorknob, swished it, and opened the door.

"Little Shenmu~"

Han Ji standing outside the door seemed to have just come back from outside the wall. He didn't even have time to change the cloak of Wings of Liberty, and he could vaguely find some blood stains and mud on his clothes.

As soon as the door opened, Hanji put one arm around Shenmizaki's neck, and dragged her back to the library boldly like a hostess, not forgetting to close the open door with one foot.

"Only you?" Kamiki asked after sitting down.

"Ah, that's right." Han Ji sat opposite Shenmukaki, looking at the file on the table, "It seems that Little Shenmu is really investigating relentlessly. How is it? Do you have any clues?"

Kamiki responded to Han Ji with a shaking of his head.

"It seems that your progress is not going well." Han Ji said helplessly.

Shen Muqi was quiet for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Why did you come here?"

It happened that Hanji wanted to explain why he came here, "Alvin and Levi are on their way to the headquarters now. The army just came back from outside the wall and needs to rest. Because I passed by the training corps, I came to you first. It's about this time. Some discoveries from the expedition."

Shen Muqi subconsciously said, "Is it a note?"

"That's a pity, little Shenmu, what I want to say has nothing to do with notes." Han Ji corrected, "It's about giants."

Although Kamiki is more interested in notes than anything else at the moment, she still waits silently for Han Ji to explain her new discovery outside the wall this time.

Habitually adjusting his glasses, Han Ji maintained his composure but still couldn't restrain the joy in his eyes, "I accidentally kicked the head of a three-meter-level giant away during this investigation outside the wall, and I was very surprised by the result."

"What?" Kamiki asked.

The next words made Han Ji very excited, "The giant's head is surprisingly light."

This news is obviously very surprising.

Kamiki frowned slightly, "Why did you tell me this?"

"Well, I just think that as a doctor, little Shenmu, you may be as interested in giant experiments as I am~" Han Ji looked at Shenmaki with a look of finding the same kind, "What does little Shenmu think of giants?" ?"

Without even thinking about it, Shenmizaki threw away his evaluation of the giant, "Ugly."

Han Ji felt a little sad when Shen Muqi satirized his beloved giant so much, "...Let's get back to the topic."

With one hand resting on his chin, Han Ji recalled the journey of this morning's expedition, "Afterwards, I tried to cut off the body parts of different individual giants, but no matter which giant it was, its body did not reach its proper weight. "

Shen Muqi seemed to have thought of something, "Speaking of which, with that kind of body, it is impossible for a giant to walk upright with two legs."

"That's right, so I thought of the terrifying regeneration ability of giants." Han Ji nodded in approval and said.

"Regeneration ability?"

"Yes, although what follows is my personal guess..." Han Ji removed his excited expression, and his tone became heavy, "Little Shenmu, have you ever thought that if the records in your medical notes It's all true, if a normal human being is injected with a reagent to activate cells, what will happen?"

Shen Muqi stared at Han Ji with wide eyes, and found a trace of uneasiness in the other party's eyes.

Normal human beings are injected with reagents to activate cells, and the cells will divide at a faster rate. It is not a problem at all to obtain the same body and regenerative ability as a giant.

Cell proliferation requires a certain amount of organic matter. If there is not enough organic matter to serve as the raw material for division, then the situation Han Ji mentioned is very likely to occur—resulting in a decrease in body density, which is almost consistent with the ecological status of giants.

Han Ji looked confused, "The evolution of species will not happen overnight. Giants appeared [-] years ago. If they were natural enemies of human beings that evolved naturally, they would not be able to do so before they preyed on humans on a large scale. There was no movement."

Shen Muqi heard the other party's implication, combined with her own inference just now, she said, "Do you think that the appearance of giants is not accidental, but man-made?"

"This is just speculation. But if this is the truth, then the real enemy we are facing is not giants... but humans." Han Ji put down his hand on his chin and looked at Shen Muqi, "In this way, for someone The fact that you're going after your medical notes makes perfect sense."

Shen Muqi took a sip of cool water, and said in a calm tone, "Let the central government know your thoughts, and I guess you will become the key monitoring target of the Gendarmerie."

Han Ji eased the dull atmosphere in a timely manner, and said half-jokingly, "So you have to keep it a secret for me, little Shenmu~"

"Does anyone else know about this?" she asked.

"Alvin and Levi know it. It concerns all mankind, and everything will be kept secret until there is no conclusive proof, in order to prevent unnecessary panic." Hanji replied.

Shen Muqi nodded clearly, "The leader should give instructions on what to do next."

"It is estimated that there will be results after the routine summary meeting is over. Until then, Xiao Shenmu is on standby in the training corps." Han Ji stood up, "That's all I want to say, I have to go back to the headquarters now. "

After walking a few steps towards the door, Han Ji suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't told Shen Muqi, so he turned back, "By the way, there are unexpected gains from this investigation outside the wall."

Shen Muqi definitely couldn't guess how unexpected the so-called harvest was, Han Ji paused briefly before speaking, wondering what he was worried about.

Now that everything has been said, Han Ji feels that there is no need to hide anything.Her expression was complicated when she spoke.

"We found Vera's horse outside the wall."
