[Liai] Trapped beast

It's early." Berthold looked around, "I'll wait for her up there. "

"Hey, be careful."

Reiner didn't forget to remind him, so he sat down on the ground and planned to rest. At present, they are still a certain height away from the gap in the rift valley, but there is no way in front of them, which means that they have finally arrived at the designated place.

In addition to the whistling cold wind flowing through my ears, there seemed to be a strange sound of water rushing against my ears, and the distant land under my feet... the rolling and continuous pulsating sound seemed ethereal but majestic.

Is it an underground river?I don't know where the lake is connected, right?But this surging sound is not as quiet and distant as a river... Leiner is too lazy to think about anything, he is very thirsty, he takes out a water bag and pours a few mouthfuls into his mouth. He caught sight of Alan who was still standing still.

"...Are you thirsty?"

The young man was sleepy and absent-minded, as if he hadn't heard his question. He looked up at the sky that seemed to have been brutally cut by the mouth of the rift. In the depths of his amber eyes was a thick mist that seemed to be psychedelic, rolling from the bottom of the valley. The wind on the ground disheveled his fine hair, and he was dressed in white, showing a pure white aura.

Think about it a few months ago, the boy was still talking and laughing, shouting loudly to expel a passionate idiot, a bad guy who didn't even care about his own life in order to save others... Now, he ended up in this situation, and he devoted himself to the investigation The Bingtuan didn't expect that this would cause him to fall into the fate of being controlled.

"I'm sorry," Reiner took a deep breath, his narrowed eyes trembling slightly, "In the end, we are still like this after all."

The young man was leaning against the wall, looking up in a very stiff posture.

"Hey, Allen...how did that guy control you?"

The young man's eyelids moved slightly, flickering slightly.

"Did it say something to you? Or did you have contact with 'it' before? Or, was it through the voice?"

"...Sound...sound...?" Alan's lips slightly opened and closed, trembling slightly.

"Ah, did he give you some hint? Or hypnosis?" Seeing that he had some reaction, Reiner insisted on asking.

"......Sound......Sound..." The pupils of the young man who slowly widened his pupils quietly trembled and shrank for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" This feeling is extremely strange.

"There are... other, voices..." It's not just... overwhelming tinnitus.

"Hey, you...!?" Reiner realized that something was wrong with him, and couldn't help raising his voice.

"His……………… Voice………………"

The stunned young man suddenly got up slowly, and walked towards the direction they came from just now, pacing unsteadily, "Is it... his voice...?"

"You boy...!" Seeing that he was about to lose his footing due to his speed, Reiner hurriedly got up and grabbed him, holding the boy's wrist, "Stop! Wait for Berthold and Ani to come back!" it's time to go!"

"Don't... stop me..." he muttered.

"There's no one here...! Are you crazy?!" Reiner couldn't believe it, a body as big as his was almost unable to hold the seemingly weak and thin person at this moment.

Alan struggled to shake the restraint on his wrist, and his gaze was numb and persistent all the time looking down the stairs, but he couldn't take it back for a long time.

"Don't stop me, go find him..."

The darkness under the stairs was indistinct, and invisibly, it seemed that a little bit of pink and white spun out, spreading, floating, and instantly filled Alan's hollow and weak eyes.

The brilliant and beautiful cherry blossoms only appeared in the amber of the boy alone. They twirled and fell, and the colors of the flowers fluttered like snow and fog. The wind was blowing non-stop. slices of flowers.

Voices... many, many voices...

In a closed corner of his mind, he was ready to move...

The one that was about to break through... was making desperate noises, as if it was calling him endlessly!

whose voice...?It directly overwhelmed the humming sound that filled his ears, destroying the sound that manipulated and disrupted his will in the most primitive consciousness.

The thoughts in his head suddenly fell, and he fell into a boundless darkness, the darkness of pure color...but suddenly a burst of light exploded, and then, circle after circle, a halo of warm color spread out, and the constantly stirring pictures were in it Like pieces of paper flying, scene after scene wanted to overlap and chaotically projected images, like rewinding, flickering in his mind.

【"You don't have eyes, do you?"】

【"Soldier...I...!"】

【"Bite so hard, I don't think you want teeth anymore?"】

The scattered petals in front of me danced wildly and disturbed one after another, and the flipped back was full of flickering images.

【"Alan, will you blame me for what happened before?"】

【"No, the captain did that... there must be a special reason, so, of course, crying is not meant to blame the captain... But, I don't know why, it seems that I have been doing evil recently Dream."】

The figures densely reflected in the mind have a similar coldness...

She exuded her usual cold eyes.

【"When you fell into a coma before, you just happened to be caught in your mouth by a strange-looking species."】

【"Enough, believe it or not, throw you from here."】

It's all him...

It turned out that it was all him.

It's all about him alone...!

【"Don't want to drag me down? Don't be ridiculous, as long as you are brought back to life, our survival rate will increase several times."】

He knows...

The young man deeply understood that he really knew him...

Constantly being protected again and again... the man who saved him countless times.

He clearly... knows this person...!

【"You kid always look at people like this? Put away your gaze."】

【"Find a way to stop it for me, I'm very irritable when you cry."】

【"If you don't want to die, don't fall."】

It's the person he's always liked... the person he's always wanted to chase after, the person he's always been aiming for.

They've been through so much together, they've been through the...longest pain of their lives.

Their souls have long been inextricably intertwined...

【"A little ghost is a little ghost. I think it is different from what I imagined? In the world of giants, human beings are so weak that it makes people feel ridiculous."】

【"Rational judgment is more difficult than emotional judgment after all. If your not-so-powerful head is really naive enough and lacks the consciousness you really need, in the end your life will only be enough for you to die once, and you won't even have time to regret it. I think Your proud vigilance will only lead to your death in vain."]

Countless stacked pictures dazzled him. The images at the source of the aperture flowed endlessly, flying past his eyes, and then turned into pieces of falling cherry blossoms behind him, one by one... petals... blooming cherry blossoms Flowers, big or small, rich and slender, thin and cute, intertwined and dazzling around the body.

The different images of the man... the different voices of the man seemed to be frozen in the rain of fine flowers, almost drowning him deeply.

【"You will be free and go out alive."】

【"This time, don't lose it again."】

He was almost unable to bear it...

The overwhelming emotion, including the feeling that seems to be imprinted in the depths of the soul.

【"I will protect you from any harm."】

【"...until death."】

Don't... say such sad words...

【"...don't leave me..."】

do not leave Me……

【"You, are you waiting for me?"】

"Levi... Captain..."

The one who has been... always calling, always calling him behind his back...

Why didn't he hear it at the beginning?Didn't look back?

The person who has been silently waiting for him to return...

I can no longer hear any hateful ringing in my head...

In consciousness... everything, only that person's voice remains...

【"Hey Alan..."】【"... Alan?"】【"Alan?"】

【"Alan, come here."】【"It's okay, Alan."】

【"Alan, open your eyes quickly."】

【"Open your eyes and look at me."】

"……what……"

Burning tears gushed out of the trembling amber, and the mist contained in it seemed to be melted into tears at that moment, washing away the empty and erratic pupils of the young man.

It was as if he had cleared the fog in his mind, and passed through the thick gray clouds... He seemed to have returned to that place again.

There...there are cherry blossoms blooming wildly, and there are fluttering white snow, and the man's back is silent under the cherry tree... He seems to have finally discovered the boy, and turned his eyes indifferently.

The gentle wind slowly passed by, silent cherry blossoms, silent snowflakes... the silent man smiled slightly.

A beautiful smile gently spread on the lips...

- You're back, kid.

……

……

The blade pierced Leiner's chest, and he looked at him tremblingly... the boy who suddenly turned around and stabbed him fiercely.

Just now, the boy took out the blade hidden in the sleeve and attacked him.

The young man's face was stained with his own tears, the tears were like broken beads, and the muddy tears poured out of his eyes, but they couldn't hide the shining amber eyes.

Leiner coughed up blood, and stepped back immediately. When the blade on his chest was detached, the sound of flesh tearing was extremely sharp.

He watched the young man stand up, he seemed to be just sober...he was still a little unsteady when he walked.

"you……!?"

"Nah...
