Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Del continues her valiant attempt.She tried not to think about other things, and concentrated on feeling the feeling of the breeze blowing on her face and the fleeting light and shadow when the space moved.In this way, it seems that it is really not so scary.It's just that it will take a long time to completely overcome the fear.

A week later, the test for three-dimensional maneuvering through the woods was successfully concluded, and Dai'er passed the test with a not-so-excellent score.Vanessa and Casey, whose fighting skills are inferior to Dai'er's Jiu Tiao Jie, and Oro, who has always boasted about himself, all squeezed into the top ten of this exam.Fitch and Benson are also ranked very high.For this reason, Daier couldn't help worrying that joining the Survey Corps at her level would be courting death, and Levi would definitely find a way to drive her out without hesitation.

chaos (1)

It has been raining continuously for several days, and the dark clouds squeezed together in the sky show no sign of dissipating.The slightly cool moisture hits the face, adding a bit of suffocation to the lifeless street.

Affected by the shortage of food, there was a long queue outside the store. The women who came to buy vegetables, as usual, came over with a basket in one hand and children in the other, waiting for the store to open.

However, today, after most of the morning, the store is still not open.

People who knew each other in the team began to talk about it, did the owner sleep?The owner is not at home?Out of stock in store? ...But regular customers know that the owner of this store is a very hardworking person, and he often gets up earlier than these customers to take care of the store.

Some people got impatient and left first, and some people were irritable and went directly to the store door and slapped the door: "Boss! Are you there? Are you not doing business? I know you sold a lot of things yesterday!"

"Look... what is this?" A person tremblingly pointed at the dark red liquid flowing out of the crack in the door.

More and more people watched, attracting the patrolling military police to check.The gendarme asked about the shopkeepers on the left and right, but no one found anything unusual before.So the military police broke open the door, and a corpse lying in a pool of blood was found inside. Many people ran away screaming in fright.

There was indeed a lot of food missing in the victim's store. It is possible that the owner of the store found out that someone was stealing and was killed instead.

Although the royal government arranged for the refugees who poured into the Wall of Ross to reclaim wasteland, not all the refugees would obediently obey the royal government's arrangement.These people gathered in the streets and alleys, stealing and robbing for a living, making the law and order inside the wall increasingly severe.

The Survey Corps was already underfunded, and the current situation has added fuel to the fire. Even the salaries of the soldiers have dropped by more than half.In order to develop tools to capture giants, Han Ji has been in a state of financial deficit. Recently, she was so hungry that she couldn't even afford to eat, so she fainted directly in the corridor.

When Han Ji woke up in a daze, he found himself lying on the hospital bed in the infirmary. There was a plate on the table beside the bed, and there was a piece of delicious bread on the plate!

Han Ji suddenly became animalistic, and rushed forward to bite the bread with his mouth. He tilted his neck, and the bread slipped into his stomach and disappeared without a trace.

This scene happened to be seen by Erwin and Levi who pushed the door in, and the two thought at the same time: Is this guy a strange species?

Erwin walked into the infirmary, "Is it better?"

"I'm more energetic." Han Ji waved to them cheerfully, "Who invited me to eat the bread?" She pointed to the empty plate.

"It was Levi who picked you up from the corridor, and of course he bought the bread." Erwin said and looked back at Levi with a smile.

"Tut!" Levi stood with folded hands, without saying a word.

Han Ji was so moved that tears filled her eyes, her eyes were round, and she said to Levi in ​​a longing tone: "Thank you, Levi...do you have any more?"

Levi said coldly: "Buy it yourself."

Han Ji collapsed on the bed again, "Then what should I do? Do I have to give up my research? If so, I will feel worse than death!" Han Ji became more excited as he spoke, and could not help but burst into tears.

He was really quarreled by Hanji, so Erwin stopped quickly, "Hanji, listen to me. Anyway, the investigation outside the wall can't be carried out for the time being. I can introduce you and Levi to a part-time job. You can earn money during this time." Some money to relieve some of the stress of life."

Han Ji immediately quieted down, "What job?"

Under the general trend of budget cuts for both the Survey Corps and the Garrison Corps, only the Gendarmerie Corps has seen its budget increase instead of falling.Given that the cost of rectifying law and order has gradually increased over the past few days, it seems understandable.But I don't know if the military police are really not enough or the military police want to be lazy. A large part of the increased budget is used to hire soldiers from other regiments as temporary workers of the military police, responsible for night security patrols.

There is only a shallow outline of the moon left, and the stars are particularly bright tonight, blinking mischievously.Compared with the dark and quiet towns on the ground, the vast night sky is more vibrant.

Fragmentary footsteps echoed on the cold street, Levi carried a kerosene lamp along the patrol route to see if there were any suspicious figures, Hanji's enthusiastic voice came from his ear, and Levi automatically filtered it out.He didn't understand why so many people signed up, but in the end he and Han Ji were put into a group?Han Ji hadn't stopped talking since the beginning of the patrol. She could talk for half an hour about something that could be explained clearly in two sentences, and she kept hinting that he would help capture the giant alive.

This is not the only bad thing, and the stinginess of the Gendarmerie is also heinous enough.A group of two people was only given an old oil lamp, a gun and a few bullets.The law and order is so bad recently, if you really encounter groups of robbers, two ordinary soldiers may not be able to handle it.If it weren't for the price increase of cleaning supplies, he wouldn't have come out to take this muddy water.

Hanji talked to herself for a long time, but Levi just ignored her.She felt bored, she was quiet for a while, put her hands on the back of her head and looked at the sky, "Levi, I read a book, which once said that human beings may not die at the mouth of giants in the end, but die Killing each other between human beings. I thought it was ridiculous before, but now it seems that it is not unreasonable."

"You should be reading a forbidden book, right?"

"Yeah, so don't tell anyone else."

"Didn't you say it yourself?"

"Levi, so you're interested in this. Why don't we talk..." Han Ji was about to continue his long speech, but Levi suddenly covered his mouth tightly.When she saw Levi's expression become serious, she immediately understood, shut her mouth, raised the gun on her back and pointed it forward.

The two walked forward gently, and the dim light of the kerosene lamp gradually illuminated the street in front of them.Suddenly, three dark figures flashed past the intersection ahead, and Levi and Hanji immediately chased after them.When running to the intersection, Levi deliberately slowed down and glanced at the direction where the figure came out. Under the dim light, a person suddenly appeared lying in the middle of the road, with bloodstains scattered on the ground.Han Ji went over to check his pulse, and shook his head regretfully.

"Damn it!" Levi handed the lamp to Han Ji, and took a shortcut to chase those people by himself.

Just when the three thought that Levi and Hanji hadn't caught up, Levi suddenly rushed out diagonally in front of them.Under the cover of darkness, the cold light of the dagger flashed by, and the three robbers took their curtain call with screams before they could fight back.

Han Ji rushed over with a light and helped Levi handcuff the three of them and send them to the Gendarmerie.On the way, the three robbers were disheartened, and no one said a word.

At the end of the night, the gendarmerie paid the two of them their wages for the day.The family members of the deceased took his body away in grief. Although Levi just watched everything with cold eyes, he was also in the same mood as Hanji, full of sadness and sympathy.I thought the tragedy would end like this, but it was far more than that.

When they came out of the gendarmerie branch, they saw an eight or nine-year-old boy standing outside the door crying loudly, calling "Dad" inarticulately.And the gendarme next to him said with a look of disgust: "Your father robbed and killed someone last night. It is a serious crime. It is impossible to get out alive. You can go, don't cry here, you are so annoying!"

Levi's face became more gloomy, he walked up to the little boy and knelt down, took the little boy's dirty and thin hand, and put the money he earned today into his palm.

The little boy was too frightened by Levi's 'vicious' eyes to cry anymore, holding the money Levi gave him in his hand, and watching Levi and Hanji go away in a daze.

"Levi..." Hanji wanted to comfort him but couldn't say it.

"Let's go," Levi said dryly.

The impact of the food shortage has also spread to the training corps. The trainees can clearly feel that the bread and hot soup on their plates have shrunk. Some people who eat a lot before can just eat enough, but now they shout Hungry, but get used to it over time.

Furthermore, the security issues of the training corps have also begun to become prominent.The training regiment is located in an open area among the woods, and generally no one will approach it, but even though it is so remote, it still attracts thieves.

The thief just went to the kitchen to steal some food, thinking that with such a large army, if one or two potatoes were missing, no one would notice.But things backfired, the thief was seen by an instructor, and he hurriedly fled into the woods with the stolen things.Although it was night at that time, the ability to train soldiers was not limited, and the whole team went out to block the thief tightly in a tree.The thief hugged the tree trunk and looked at the training soldiers who were filled with righteous indignation and armed with two machetes. He yelled and begged them to let the military police arrest him.
