[Attack on Titan] puppet

"But..." Even though he knew in his heart that Levi's words were full of loopholes, but under the strong coercion, the military police's brain had long subconsciously given the command to submit out of fear. It was horrible, and he knew he couldn't face it.

"Nothing to be desired."

Levi lifted up from the ground by the collar of the military police, half-closed his eyes like a warning and said: "If you don't want to never be hard in the future, get out of my eyes immediately, unless you cry like a bullied child Then go back and complain, and call Nell or Pixis, but I figured I'd be interested in talking to them about the weird reaction that happened to your lower body."

Truth looked dumbfounded at the military policeman who fled with his legs crossed under the double attack of Levi's vulgar words and rude actions. This difference in momentum completely made up for Levi's own childish appearance and height. The sense of disobedience is completely like beating a child.

As expected of Levi, who has fans everywhere, his small body contains huge energy.

But the reality didn't give the truth too much time to have fun, after the military police figure completely disappeared, Levi's eyes immediately glared at her, and the smile that hadn't had time to hold back froze on his face, She could only twitch the corner of her mouth, turned it into a sneer, and looked away awkwardly.

It's just terrible, obviously he doesn't want Levi to see himself like this at all, why is he still looking this way?I already knew that Levi has a cleanliness freak, is it because I feel disgusting that I am considering whether to beat someone?

At this time, Truth's heart was already disturbed enough to sing a passionate song.

Although the legs under the bed sheet have fallen outside the wall and disappeared, but with the iron chains bound and the bewildered eyes, Levi thinks that the virgin who is almost immune like the military policeman just now will become spring. It is also inevitable, but it is important for people to have self-control, which is no different from livestock, and he still disdains it.

Levi walked over calmly, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, and suddenly asked the truth without any warning: "I said stinky brat, haven't you changed your clothes for a few days?"

Truth hesitated for two or three seconds before answering hesitantly: "This is the suit I wore in the morning during the expedition. It has not been changed for a day." But it was only one day before it became dirty like this.

It's really strange to say that it's only been 24 hours, but recalling what happened yesterday morning always feels like a world away, maybe because her mentality was completely opposite to what it is now, and Albert hadn't just existed yet. In memory, everything is so orderly.

"Tsk, it's so dirty." Although Levi exposed his distaste clearly, he still stretched out his hands and tugged at the sides of the shirt, and buttoned it up gently, without even losing a glance from the corner of his eye. On the hollow wound in Truth's belly, it was reassuring and uncomfortable at the same time.

"Why, Commander Levi, you can still maintain such a deadpan look?" Truth's eyes wandered back and forth between Levi's face and hands a few times, and finally couldn't help asking.

"I was born with this face, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Levi buttoned up the top button of his collar conservatively, helped her straighten his collar and looked up at her strangely, with a look of "You I asked a stupid question", "Don't worry kid, I'm not that hungry yet."

"Wait, I didn't mean that!" Only then did Truth realize how ambiguous the question he asked just now was, as if asking Levi why he didn't have feelings for him in the tone of a resentful woman.

She quickly explained: "I mean... um, I know Captain Levi, you have a cleansing habit, and I'm really sorry to tell you now, as you can see, my body is more disgusting than a giant Except for the heart, the rest are made of corpses and wood that don’t belong to me... So it doesn’t matter if you show more disgust, Captain, I don’t mind that much.”

heart?Levi frowned, he remembered that the boy's diary clearly wrote "a bloodless puppet", and judging from the doubts about pulse, body temperature and saliva that he had come into contact with before, this statement could be The reliability is very high, even if this damn thing can't be explained by the slightest common sense of science.

But now it makes a little sense, but it’s really just a little bit. At least this kid has a heart and is still a living life. Levi doesn’t think she is comparable to a giant at all about whether she is disgusting or not, at least not. It will give him an urge to chop off the back of his neck.

No wonder at first he refused to swear to give his heart. It turned out to be the reason. He suddenly realized that what he did at that time was superfluous. It is absolutely impossible for this brat to die of cerebral hemorrhage. After all, she must have a Brain, looking at her stupid look, I should have realized that she didn't have that thing.

Levi was going to solemnly educate this kid not to be fooled a few times in the future, and swear to give away the important things, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was completely unnecessary, because the only The heart that belonged to the brat is now his.

May I ask if she has anything else to offer?And Levi didn't have such a gentleman's idea of ​​"I didn't know this was so important to you before, I will return it to you after I know it now". He believed in the principle that once he got it, he would never give it up.

However, his size is very small, unlike the king who has the greed that matches his bloated appearance, such a heavy and troublesome heart, he is only going to receive one from others in his life, and it is too troublesome if it is too much.

"You really want me to hate you?" Levi stared at the truth with an unchanged expression, and after seeing her shaking her head, he first gave her Tianling Gai a hand knife without saying a word, "Then don't say such meaningless things Stupid talk."

"I see..." Levi's hands were merciless, and Truth was a little thankful that it was his own hard wooden head that was hit hard. If this kind of force was aimed at a watermelon, it would be easily split. The red juice splattered in all directions creating a bloody murder scene.

"But kid, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. People who recognize you will eventually recognize you. People who are unwilling to recognize you like the pig just now, even if you do more cover-ups, you can only act as someone else's mouth." It’s just a laughingstock.” Levi took out two things from the inside pocket of his jacket and threw them in front of the truth, “Look, this kid is a typical example.”

Truth can probably understand the meaning of Levi's words, and it is admonishing her not to waste corpses to disguise herself. She has already planned to give up on this point, but she is completely confused about the envelope and notebook in front of her. No brains.

"What is this?" She wanted to take it over to see what happened, but her hands could only hang on her sides because of the iron chains, and she couldn't reach it at all. She could only shrug to Levi to express her affection helpless.

"Albert Bailey's letter and notepad, the letter was entrusted to you by your annoying friend, and the notepad was found when I was tidying up that kid's room. Originally, this thing should be attached All the relics were burned, but after you read it, you will know why I gave it to you together, and you are not allowed to ask questions before that." Levi took a few pieces of paper from the letter out of the envelope, and handed them to the truth together with the diary close to your right.

Truth doesn't look right away, but stares at Levi earnestly and pleads, "Just one question, really, just one."

"Think clearly before asking. If it's some stupid question again, don't blame me for swearing at you, brat." Levi couldn't resist her. Although his face was unkind and his tone was fierce, he never made up his mind to refuse directly.

After receiving the answer, Truth hesitated for a while, and then, as if not to touch Levi's nerves too much, he said cautiously: "Captain Levi, have you secretly... No, no, read it in advance openly Already?" Because if she didn't know the content in advance, how can she be sure that she will know it after reading it?

Truth remembers that Scorpion once said that Albert knows everything except the weakness of the heart, so it is not surprising to mention it in the notepad. Since Levi has read it, he should already know all about it. , it's no wonder that he didn't show any surprise from the beginning.

"...Look." Levi's face darkened in half, how could this bastard brat become smart at such a time, and asking such a sharp question really made him want to teach him a lesson There is no way to speak.

"Don't pay too much attention, Captain Levi." Truth sighed, and comforted Levi who was being tortured, "Who didn't make mistakes when he was young, although I don't know if Albert will be angry, But at least God will forgive you, because that's his job."

Truth lowered her head to avoid Levi's staring gaze, and opened the cover of the notepad with one hand. Judging from the traces on the edge, it was obvious that several pages had been torn off. She raised her head and looked at Levi suspiciously. After clicking her tongue impatiently, she pointed to a few pieces of paper taken out of the envelope that she ignored.

"So that's how it is." She took the paper and put it together on the notepad, which fit exactly, obviously torn from it.

When reading the first half of the notepad, that is, the content that was torn out and put into the envelope, Truth felt a little dumbfounded. Albert, who wrote it when he was [-] years old, felt that the crooked handwriting was inexplicably disgusting.

After all, the time to live is not short, and the truth is very clear in his heart. The reason why Albert only showed her the first half is just like the series of cruel words he once left before he was injured.

Because although he is kind in nature, he is a child unwilling to be lonely. He doesn't want to be forgotten after death, but he doesn't want her to be sad because of his own death. That's why he chose such an extreme way to make her hate him. In the end, it was just It's just a childish hope to be remembered, to the point that even if it is remembered in another way, it will not hesitate.

"You're really stupid, Albert." A poor guy like her who can't shed a tear after you die and has a life that can't die easily is not worth your risk.

Probably because she could vaguely perceive something in her heart, Truth just read the second half of the notepad and dared not continue any more. She stroked the handwriting with her fingertips, and then gave it to closed.

She turned her head up and smiled and talked to Levi about the stupid things and daily things that Albert had done with her in the military camp. She desperately needed a listener, and she was afraid that she would give these things to Levi at any time forget.

"Albert, although he always says he doesn't want to, but when Instructor Gulson occasionally comes to the cafeteria to supervise the meals, he will always help me settle my share, but I don't know why he just eats fat ah."

But how could she allow herself to forget.

"There was another time before..."

"Enough." Levi stopped it aloud. In his opinion, this kind of sluggish and mechanized chatter is not chatter at all, it's just self-torture, but the little devil in front of him just paused after hearing it For a moment, he was ready to continue speaking.

The anger seemed to burn every inch of his nerves and made him restless. Levi raised his knife and hit her on the head. He stared at the aggrieved expression for a while, thinking about whether he It wasn't that he acted too hard in a moment of impatience, he felt a little bit guilty.

Levi has never been a person who would apologize, he chose to do what he wanted, leaned forward and hugged the annoying kid in front of him tightly, and patted her on the head with his hand, and said But still unforgiving: "Smelly brat, didn't I tell you to shut up obediently? It's enough to remember the lost companions in my heart, and there's no need to talk about it all day long."

Now that I've suffered a lot, I'm starting to pretend to be pitiful, what did I do so early?Levi refrained from saying this, otherwise it might turn into endless preaching.

Just when he felt it was time to let go, the uncontrollable mouth began to speak again: "It's different, Captain Levi, Albert is different from everyone else, he is..."

"Do you still want to be beaten?" Tsk, the hell is different from other people, Levi, who has not finished listening, interrupted the truth again, he sneered, if this continues, this damn name will soon become His nightmare, but like Vicky said before, he has no position to stop the goddam kid from mentioning the name.

Levi knows that violence and intimidation are not the most effective means. They only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If they do not complement each other with "beating a whip and then giving a lump of candy", it will have a counterproductive effect over time, but the key problem is that he doesn't have that many at all. sugar!

"Listen, brat, I have something to tell you." Levi let go of his hand to distance himself from the truth. Since he has no position, he can take this opportunity to create a position. What's more unfavorable is that he just now When he was about to speak, he saw the little ghost in front of him looking at him in horror as if he had hit an evil.

"Captain Levi!" As if his life was hanging by a thread to prevent a bomb that was about to detonate, Truth almost shouted out, and she has been watching this person since she gave her heart, how could she not look at that look? Knows what Levi is going to say, but she interrupts anxiously just because she knows.

This is something that must never be said.

"Shut up, the cell is about to be collapsed by you, are you afraid that the people stationed in the corps won't know I'm here?" Levi's eyebrows twitched, obviously at such a critical moment of confession, for this The sudden interruption was very unsatisfactory.

Truth was silent for a moment, and after a forced smile, he asked Levi, "What do you think of Albert?"

"Tsk, I don't want to discuss with you about that kid right now, you just need to listen carefully to what I have to say."

"Don't be like this, Captain Levi, I seriously ask you this question. From the perspective of the strongest human being, what do you think of this combat power? I really want to know." Truth shook his head helplessly Shaking the iron chains that bound his hands, "For the sake of being a prisoner now, let me finish what I want to say first, please? I promise I will listen to you after that."

Levi was helpless, and after a little thought, he said: "Aside from his reckless style of doing things, for a kid, his strength is undeniably excellent. If he continues to grow, there is a great possibility that he will surpass me one day. , but this will only happen on the premise that he is still alive."

"Yes, he was originally an inalienable force for human beings to counter giants and reduce the death rate."

Truth bit her lip a few times hesitantly, and she found that she no longer had the courage to continue looking directly into Levi's eyes, so she had to look away and look at the fire lit on the wall before she could continue: "Your interruption before I didn't have time After finishing the sentence, Albert is different from other people... He died to save me because of my incompetence. Even if he knew that I was this kind of virtue, probably even Vicky didn't know about this, so You earned it this time, Captain Levi."

Levi was keenly aware that the topic was not over, and he nodded slightly to signal her to continue, without showing the slightest surprise, because he had vaguely thought of this possibility since the time he applied for a change of position.

"Captain Levi, do you still remember what you said to me at the beginning? You said that the existence of a lover can become a time bomb that makes you impulsive and irrational at any time, and lose your ability to think, and then ruin your life." A worthless life', I denied that at the time, but now that you think about it, you might be right."

"Since Albert's death, I started to hate the giant, and I also hated myself. I decided to take his place and continue to fight, gradually become stronger and then cut down every giant. I dedicate it to you My heart will not be withdrawn, and I really want to be with you, but as your subordinate, Captain Levi."

"I can't stand what happened to Albert a second time, Levi, do you know what I mean?" Truth rarely dared to call Levi's name without any suffix, she paused Turning his head and looking at Levi bitterly: "So... I've finished what I want to say, do you have anything else to say?"

"If it were me, I would hate to let that child bear the infamy of killing 'Hope of Humanity'. Even if there is even the slightest possibility, I would not allow it to happen. That would be too cruel."

Han Jin's noisy voice inevitably sounded in Levi's mind, he looked at those begging eyes silently, finally mixed with helplessness, and sighed heavily: "You misunderstood, I don't have anything to say to you little brat."

"That's it." Truth breathed a sigh of relief, but in Levi's eyes, laughing was uglier than crying.

Seeing that Levi stood up as if he was about to leave, she didn't know what expression to use or what kind of farewell words to say. Truth had to lower her head, she wished that Levi would leave here quickly, otherwise she would not Make sure if you can't control it for a while and then give up all your previous efforts and defect.

Suddenly, a shadow was cast over his eyes, and the warm and soft touch on his forehead caused Truth to raise his eyelids in surprise.

"Forget it if you don't want to remember it, this is the last time." Levi straightened up, then walked towards the door of the cell without looking back, and stopped halfway with his back to her, using his usual Said in a normal tone: "You picky brat doesn't seem to like Sanmao's eccentricity of sniffing people. Although Han Ji is a lunatic, it has to be said that he is a good object to pass the time. I will let her watch it instead of me." Yours, stay with me honestly, I will find a way to get you out."

Only when Levi's figure completely disappeared at the end of the darkness did Truth dare to whisper softly: "Levi."

I really want to respond to you, to you who have fought alone so far.

But I still can't betray those people who expect you to bring peace and tranquility, and I can't betray those companions who passed away who entrusted their will to you.
