[Comprehensive] Light and Shadow

"Han Ji, I can't become a giant..."

Allen, who was standing alone in the dry well, looked up, his dark eyes couldn't see a ray of sunlight, fear and uneasiness easily appeared in his eyes, and even his words were full of confusion and apprehension.

His hands were bitten by himself, blood gushed from his fair skin, and his mouth was filled with the disgusting smell of blood and rust, but this pain could not fill the black hole in his heart that grew more fearful.

Can't become a giant.

This means that the plan to block Maria's wall is just empty talk, and the wish to regain human freedom is nothing but delusions, and Captain Erwin and Captain Levi pinned their hopes on themselves, Efforts not to hesitate to confront the Gendarmerie were in vain.

[Is it right that people with power don't fight?If you are afraid to fight to survive, then contribute your strength.You cowards, shut up!It's all about investing in me! 】

Thinking of what he said in the military court, Allen felt the pain and shame of being trampled by a giant.

At this time, Allen was sitting on the wooden chair, looking at the white bandage on his hand. The wound could not heal, and the pain in his hand made him unable to move his fingers normally. In the current situation, he might not even be able to swing the blade.

If he can't become a giant, everything is just nonsense, and he who relies on the giant's ability, who can't even control his consciousness and ability, requires human beings to throw all their hopes on him.

This was the first time Allen felt that what he said was ridiculous.

"I order you to find a solution for me."

Captain Levi stood in front of him, his face was gloomy, the storm condensed in his long and narrow eyes swept through a heavier dark color, and the low tone was a tone of command, and the undeniable coercion made Allen feel that the air was thin Can't breathe.

"Yes!"

Allen immediately nodded and replied, but at that moment, he felt that the wound on his hand bitten by him was even more painful.

"Alan." Hearing someone calling his name, Alan followed the voice.

The purple hair fluttered in the wind, and Allen looked at Leo who came over with a glass of water.The purple-haired man still had a breezy smile on his face, and he walked towards him, but he walked up to Captain Levi and handed the cup over at will, and Captain Levi stretched out his hand to take the cup coherently, Without looking at Allen, he turned and left.

The whole movement was unbelievably coherent. The two of them didn't seem to be looking at each other at all, but they seemed to have formed a tacit understanding for many years.

"Alan, you look like an abandoned little lover now." Leo raised his eyebrows and smiled frivolously, while reaching out to pat Alan on the shoulder, the close distance obviously made Alan a little confused What to do, after all, after exposing the identity of the giant, few people stay away from being so close to themselves.

"Yeah, Alan, don't be so negative." Elder looked at Alan calmly, and said comfortingly.

"But..." Allen hesitated and looked at the members of the special operations squad beside him.

"Forget it, this shows that you are more human than we imagined." Oluo propped his head, looking indifferent.

"It's better than losing your life in a hurry, and this experiment is not useless." Elder nodded.

"Yes, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious." Gunda lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Allen sat quietly, looking at the expressions of his partners sitting around him in shock.

Why, everyone is so calm?

Obviously, the plan is going to fail, isn't it?Doesn't it matter if I don't become a giant?

Allen turned his head to look at Leo who was sitting next to him, and found that the corner of the man's mouth was still slightly raised. After realizing his gaze, Leo squinted his eyes, and poured the water in Elder's teacup. Poured into Alan's empty teacup, and then handed the teacup to Alan, "This is the second time I pour water for you."

Allen froze for a moment, then nodded slightly, the pain caused his hands to take the teacup tremblingly.

It's the second time.

The first time, it was in a dungeon.

At that time, the purple-haired man said to himself—[Killing people out of fear is natural. 】

Yes, Alan lowered his eyelids slightly, a faint sense of loneliness and disappointment was crushed in his black pupils, his dark eyes reflected in the tea, but he didn't know what kind of expression he should show. He can hang his head slightly so that his hair covers his face.

Although he joined the Survey Corps, he was only treated as being observed and the danger was uncertain. Although the people around him treated him friendly, they always felt alienated and kept a certain distance around him.

After all, I was still afraid.Therefore, after knowing that he cannot become a giant, he will be so calm.

"There will be new recruits coming to investigate the Corps in a few days, Alan, do you think there will be anyone you know?" Leo reached out and took the teacup in Alan's hand, and placed it on the table steadily.

"Well, I think there should be." Allen nodded, and the faces of Mikasa and Amin couldn't help but appear in his mind. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but relax, and a kind of indifferent expectation flew up.

"I saw a lot of new recruits at the headquarters in the Toros District last time. They were all crying and howling, and they looked cute." Leo knocked on the wooden table, recalling the scene that day, but there was only one recruit who looked good. look.

"You, are you at the headquarters?" Allen looked at Leo in surprise, but suddenly remembered that Leo didn't go outside the wall to investigate what Tepera said, so Leo was there when the giant broke through the wall. It is also possible to see Mikasa and Amin.

"This guy must be afraid of trouble, so he hid in the headquarters and went drinking." Oluo looked at Leo with a dead fish in his eyes, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I was just entrusted by Levi to inspect the recruits." Leo smiled lightly.

Oluo snorted coldly, meaning he didn't believe it at all, he was so courageous that he used Captain Levi's name as an excuse. It's really strange how Captain Levi tolerated this man until now .

No, before the captain beat Leonaton to his heart's content!

It's time to teach this terrific guy a lesson!

"I'm leaving first, you can rest assured and think about it." Leo yawned wearily, then patted Allen on the head, stood up, turned and walked towards Captain Levi.

"Wait—" Allen looked at Leo's back, and couldn't help but want to grab the man's dark green shawl. Knowing that Leo was in the headquarters that day, he wanted to know more about the situation that day, and these days, he and Mikasa and Ah Obviously they lost contact completely, maybe Leo saw them in the headquarters too.

It's just that at the moment when I stretched out my hand, my palm suddenly felt painful and scalding like an electric shock. The scorching heat instantly stung the nerves of my whole body, and my consciousness was completely lost in an instant. I only felt that the blood was so hot that it was about to boil.There was a huge blasting sound next to his ears, and the fierce wind quickly wrapped around his body, and the airflow burst from the surroundings crazily, sweeping all the calm air.

After Leo heard Allen calling him to stop him, before he had time to turn around, he heard the sound of the cloak being pierced and broken, and then his whole body was swept out by the huge air current, as if he was in a tornado, and his body could not move. Control the balance.In Leo's blurred vision, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow appearing in the airflow, and the scorching heat rushed towards him, but he could still see a small figure that kept moving.

Immediately after the sound of explosions, the sound of the three-dimensional mobile device piercing the air came, and Leo, who was spinning in the airflow, was suddenly grabbed by the collar. After a while of spinning, he quickly left the area of ​​the storm and stood firmly on the flat ground Still feeling dizzy, the people around him grabbed his arms to help stabilize his body.

"Levi, you have to pay me for this cloak." Leo looked at Levi who pulled himself out of the airflow, there was no panic or fear in his eyes, even though Levi grabbed his arm so hard Some unbearable pain, Leo did not speak, just smiled wryly and took off the broken cloak with the other hand.

Levi didn't speak, his cold eyes stared at Leo's body, and he let go only after seeing that he was not injured.The man turned his head slowly, frowning slightly and looking in Alan's direction, his black eyes did not fluctuate at all, as cold as a deep grave.

"Say, do I want to join in the fun?" Leo watched as the soldiers of the Investigation Corps around him grasped their swords and gathered around Allen, with a ferocious but terrified expression on their faces. The tense and stalemate atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, Leo raised his eyebrows and looked at Levi who was standing beside him.

Levi ignored Leo, and walked quickly to Alan's side.

Looking at Alan's small body standing on top of the giant from a distance, the young giant's hand still clenched a part of his shawl, Leo's eyes fluctuated, and he suddenly felt a little scared, if Alan just now If he really went berserk, he might really die.

Leo touched the back of his neck and suddenly felt chilly, and the end of the man's gaze was Levi's cold face.

If he died, would this man still have the same expression?

The man thought for a while, smiled and slowly looked away, probably because he really couldn't imagine Levi crying bitterly.

Leo yawned lazily, then returned to the headquarters seemingly sleepy.

When Levi returned to the room at night, the room was dark, but the steady breathing of another person could be clearly heard.

Levi frowned slightly, lit a candle, and the orange light penetrated the clear glass to create a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the room.The white bed was bulging, and the person sleeping on the bed was completely wrapped in the quilt, and the face of the person could not be seen, but a few strands of purple hair could be seen from the white quilt, and there was a piece of paper on one side. An open book.

Levi looked coldly at the extra person on the bed, walked to the bed, reached out and grabbed the sleeping man's hair, but the man's movements stopped at this moment, as if hesitating for something, and finally It was slowly loosened, and then gently pushed aside the quilt, looked at the exposed man's cheek, lowered it little by little, and pressed the quilt under his chin, as if afraid of lack of oxygen when the man fell asleep.

"Levi." Leo, who was asleep, stretched out his hand and grabbed Levi's hand before slowly opening his eyes, looking at Levi sleepily, and murmured.

"Get up." Levi shook off Leo's hand, with a commanding tone in his cold tone, Levi frowned seeing Leo's confused expression because he didn't wake up.

"Ah, I thought I was going to die today, I was really scared, so I came here specially to seek comfort." Leo yawned, and moved lazily to a more comfortable position on the bed, without any intention of getting up , there was no sense of fear in the man's lazy tone.

Levi watched Leo's unbridled movements on his bed, his brows furrowed even more, the cold breath on his body seemed to condense the vacuum atmosphere, and he didn't expect the man on the bed to get up by himself, Levi stretched out his hand and wanted to solve it by himself, Sure enough, have you indulged him too much recently?

"If I'm eaten by a giant—"

When he heard Leo's sudden words, Levi's hands froze in the air, and his cold eyes stared at Leo silently.

"Remember to get me a grave. The survey corps cemetery has only numbers and no names. It's so sad."

Levi's resolute face was a little soft under the light, the man's long and narrow eyes were staring at the purple-haired man lying on the bed at this moment, there were finally a few ripples in the dark pupils, and the hand that stayed in mid-air was finally placed on the pillow Levi closed the book on the open book next to it and placed it on the side table.

"Levi?" Without hearing the man's answer, Leo sat up on the bed, raised his eyebrows and looked at Levi's back.

"Ann, go back." Levi took off the brown coat and put it aside, and didn't stop looking at Leo.

Hearing Levi's words, the corners of the mouth of the purple-haired man sitting on the bed raised a slight arc, which was different from the previous frivolity, with a more genuine smile.The man whose real name was called got up from the bed in a rare and obedient manner, but moved the bed sheet deliberately and messed it up a bit before getting out of bed.

"The only way to die for you is aging and being killed by me. No matter which one it is, you don't need to be afraid."

Leo finally heard Levi's voice as he creaked open the wooden door.Although the man's voice was still calm and monotonous, there was no hint of ruthlessness.

Leo didn't look back, but felt the temperature of the fingers rubbing the wooden door suddenly rose, and the fingertips touched the wood as if they were scratched by sawdust last time. It seemed that the hot blood was about to rush to the heart.

"Boom."

Leo closed the door and sat down slowly with his back against the wooden door.The man's eyelids drooped slightly, making it impossible to detect his emotions, but the usual indifference and frivolity were blurred at this moment, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Indeed, there is nothing to terrify me about.

Except you.
