[Attack on Titan] puppet

At the brief routine meeting when preparing for the return journey, the announcement of the decision not to take any rescue operations but to go directly to the Trost area undoubtedly caused an uproar in the hearts of everyone.

The look of despair and the inaudible lament have appeared not once or twice in Levi's memory.

He should have gotten used to it a long time ago. Just as he turned around to finish the rest of the aftermath, he was unexpectedly grabbed by the arm. Even without looking, he knew that he would make such a thoughtless The only ones who do stupid things are those young brats.

"No...you can't just ignore death and save Captain Levi, they may still be alive! Waiting and believing that you will save them! Is the life of your companions really so cheap to you! "

"After all, one or two human lives are less than dust to you! You only need to be able to kill giants and you are satisfied, the greatest human being, Mr. Levi!"

The shrill, female-specific voice amplified in his ears made Levi's head buzz. He didn't know if it was a side effect, but he couldn't help but overlap it with Warren's dissatisfaction with him back then. , History is always surprisingly similar.

"Is it you again? Vicky Babbitt." Levi glanced lightly at the handsome blonde in front of him, but couldn't help being distorted by excitement. In his impression, the trio always got together all the time together.

"Are you the only one left now..." Without any sense of ridicule or sarcasm, Levi just looked away from her, and narrated the cruel reality after a short silence.

Vicky stared at the expressionless man stubbornly and stubbornly, her words seemed to be squeezed out between her teeth: "Captain Levi, please take this sentence back, Mary is not dead yet, and I am not a People." After a pause, she added: "If you don't want to save yourself, that's a different story."

She knows that she is very cunning, and if Mary finds out about imposing all the responsibility on Levi, she will definitely blame her for being unreasonable, but if a person is dead, she can't even do such a natural thing as getting angry.

Just now Nanaba told her about Albert with regret. Apart from being sad, she just thought it was ridiculous. If such injuries were treated in time inside the wall, there is a high possibility that her life could be saved. Why is it very important? Can you die?

She couldn't help but ask herself, is it really worth sacrificing so much for the group of people who are sitting in the wall and enjoying themselves?

"It's really that good, continue to implement your trust, and then take good care of your little life, this is the only thing you can do now." Levi will not allow himself to be shaken in the slightest, otherwise let alone say yes Convince others, even yourself, "You must understand that this is the best choice to minimize casualties. Rescue at dark will only allow more people to follow the funeral, which is completely unnecessary. "

"Then I'll go by myself, I don't need to rely on anyone, I can..." Vicky clenched her fists.

"No." Levi interrupted her with a cold face and merciless, "A kid who trembles when he sees a giant and loses his mobility is just going to die if he acts alone, you'd better be quiet and get rid of this idea, otherwise In the next second, I can knock you out and put you in a truck to transport back."

"If I can't do it, what about you? If it's you, you should have this ability! Levi 'instructor'?"

Levi knew what the "instructor" was reminding him of. If he hadn't shouldered those so-called responsibilities and was just an ordinary soldier, maybe he would really follow his own wishes and disregard orders, even at the risk of death. Bo will not sit idly by.

But now he can't take any transgressive actions. What he can and cannot do has long been imprisoned by various rules and regulations derived from the title of "human hope".

The wings of freedom on the back have been burdened with too many expectations and are too heavy to spread their wings.

In the end, Levi selectively ignored Vicky's question, stopped Mars, who was the squad leader in this operation, pointed to the ignorant brat in front of him and said impatiently: "Mars, assign this brat to you In my class, watch her, if there is any riot, just knock her out and take her away."

"Ah? Yes." Mars replied in a daze, "If I remember correctly, you are Babbitt, then you will follow me in the next action, and you are not allowed to leave my sight."

"Don't regret it, dwarf." Vicky has completely abandoned the good family education she received since she was a child, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time she has used such malicious words to describe someone else.

"Shut up recruit! This is not the tone you should speak to the officer!" Seeing that Levi's eyes were wrong, Mars hurriedly dragged Vicky away. In his impression, Levi never beat people easily, but as long as he was serious If you don't wake up and beat yourself to death, you won't stop. The new recruits are indeed newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and dare to say anything from their mouths without fear of death.

"Regret?" Levi snorted coldly as he watched the two leave. Now that he had made the choice to follow Ewell's decision, he had no intention of regretting it.

But in the final analysis, before the result comes out, he will never know what will be waiting for him, and how he will react. In the end, all he can do is believe in this choice, and believe in the "I won't" made by that little devil Mary. die" oath, and then try not to leave any regrets.

Up until the moment he arrived in Trost, Levi was willing to believe that the brat would suddenly appear in front of him on her disobedient black horse and claim that he was just lost and left behind, It cannot be denied that this is a ridiculously naive expectation.

But it is indeed half realized, but it is more hopeless than not realized.

Levi recognized the black horse that appeared in his line of sight halfway through the journey. It belonged to the kid and was named after him. A not so easy to tame horse. Humans who lost their horses survived outside the wall The chances of him being there are close to zero, and Levi knows that better than anyone.

The black horse gently tugged at his arm with its mouth, with a force that would not drag him down, and then let out a rapid snort, this meaningful move made Levi a little dazed.

This might be the last chance, Levi kept reminding himself.

"Levi! Don't be distracted!" Ai Weier was keenly aware of his vacillation, and said sharply in a cold tone without any emotional factors, "The person who can't abandon anything can't change anything, hold on to yourself Keep your eyes on the reins, Captain Levi, the 'strongest human being'."

"...Your voice is sometimes louder than a sonic bomb." Levi didn't let go of his right hand holding the rein of the black horse.Could something be saved by following the horse's lead?Could it be that the little devil's life and death were just in his thoughts?He doesn't know the answer to the question.

"Levi, you should know the stakes between living to save more people or risking your life to save one."

"Keep talking, Aiweier, otherwise I can't guarantee that I will not make an outrageous move." Levi glanced at Aiweier's sunken profile, without any emotional factors, and he had to set out for the overall situation The determination to abandon everything, a man who is cruel enough and great enough.

"They're all waiting to be redeemed, waiting for you to break out of the cage, and temporarily annihilate their humanity for this|Let's do it, Levi." Aiweier's voice is deep and strong, it seems to be a request and it seems to be an order, and his decisions are often not recognized by others. Understand, but no one can accuse that of being wrong.

Even Levi is like this, even if he can't agree with him emotionally, he can't disapprove of his decision.

"I said Levi, do you like that kid? Hahaha don't ask me how I know who it is, that's too obvious." Hanji suddenly leaned over at some point, leaving behind his usual cynical look Look, the eyes hidden under the lens are serious and sincere, "Anyway, I like that child very much. If it were me, I would hate to let that child bear the infamy of killing 'human hope', even if it is Not allowing it to happen at all, that would be cruel."

Levi just stared straight at the pretentious four eyes in front of him, neither denying nor admitting the question of whether he likes it or not, as if waiting for the next one, he is very tired of being educated like a child in turn Feeling, but these words are all damn reasonable.

Han Ji was a little uncomfortable being stared at by those dead fish eyes with excellent focusing functions. She scratched her hair in embarrassment and said with a smile: "When I first came to the investigative corps and met in the corridor, I was I heard her promise to you that she would not die, I really believe what this child said, how about you try to believe it too, Levi?"

"So you didn't disappear immediately that day, but hid and eavesdropped?" Levi glared at Han Ji.

"Hahaha, I'm just collecting the materials needed for the observation report." Hanji said tactfully while pulling the rein away from Levi a little, in case of sudden retaliation.

It's really a troublesome position, Han Ji sighed in his heart, if this was just an ordinary world, there wouldn't be such a cruel choice.

Levi finally chose to let go of his right hand holding the rein, handed over the black horse to the subordinates behind him, and then speeded up and galloped forward without looking back. Guilty for a lifetime, but some responsibilities are really not easy to abandon.

Already able to see the gate of Trost District, Levi knew that the agreement was coming to an end.

But God always likes to joke, playing tricks on people's hearts, and then throwing hope to you at the moment when you are completely desperate
