[Liai] Trapped beast

Their goal is only Alan. "

"No matter how powerful you are, it's impossible to take Allen away alone now," Berthold looked back at all the terrifying giants that sprang out around him, "These things... can't make you leave."

The man's bottomless black pupils seemed to be a dead pool, and the sharp and sharp eyes contained endless contempt and remained indifferent.

"If you want this kid, come and get it yourself, idiot."

The merciless contempt made the two of them restless, and Leiner couldn't help asking annoying doubts, "You...are you dead? And you've been dead for more than a day, how could you come back to life... ...? Captain Levi...!?"

The man's deep black pupils were empty, unable to reflect any tangible objects, and the empty eyes filled with chaos did not lose the usual arrogance.

"Something...is wrong." Berthold pulled Reiner, who was almost being controlled by rage, and whispered.

"What did you find?"

"No... I just think it's a little weird."

Reiner looked at his old friend in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"Leiner, this is the inside of a rift valley that is [-] meters deep... It is supposed to be invisible, but he doesn't need any lighting, and he can move freely below..."

Reiner, who was stunned, seemed to suddenly understand something.

"We exhausted ourselves by catching up with the fastest speed. Not only did he lead a person, but his speed was several times faster than ours. He also wiped out more than a dozen odd-shaped species in one go. Now... ...even calmly without taking a breath...I always feel..."

Reiner's relaxed eyes showed a tense alert look again, and he raised his voice towards the man, "Captain Levi...you have kept this position with your right hand since you took Allen away, isn't it sore or tired? ?"

The man couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, narrowing his eyes, "Are you scared?"

The cold wind that flowed past was clear and cold, as if it had a certain intimidating aura. The two deliberately endured that sense of oppression. To be honest, being in the rift valley hindered their combat effectiveness. In addition, the two of them now He was also seriously injured, and it was already very difficult to control the three-dimensional maneuver. Even so, they still couldn't think of any way to drive Levi out of the rift.

As long as they are on the ground, they will not be bitten to death by the opponent's momentum.

What was even more unbelievable was the calm and indifferent attitude of the man, who was clearly cornered by the giant, took a wounded man with him, and was even surrounded by countless man-eating giants.

"Is it possible that you think you can get out of the current situation?"

Ignoring Berthold, Levi put the blade in his left hand back into the knife box. This action was undoubtedly looking for death. In order to protect Allen, his right hand had no threat at all at this time, and the only weapon in his left hand was put down instead.

Without any order, without any signal, at the next moment, the surrounding strange-looking species suddenly swarmed up, all of them opened their bloody mouths, revealing their sharp beaks and fangs!

The man lay down gently in the abyss by the stairs, and fell horribly into the dark depths with the boy in his arms.

There was no surprise or panic in his dark eyes, he just glanced at the giants who jumped into the sky with him, those terrifying faces had no skin at all, they were ferocious and frightening, as if they were extremely tall. Scary monster.

Levi was falling at a very desperate speed. He took out the flare gun on the back of his waist, pointed it straight up, and aimed it at the entrance of the rift. But the white signal flare that came out suddenly came out of the hall, soaring rapidly, and scattered the terrifying beasts above. Before the eyes of Reiner and Berthold who were almost astonished, the light that penetrated the dense darkness seemed to come from the flames of purgatory. A dazzling beam of light that broke through rapidly in the center flew out of the rift mouth unrestrained, like the wings of freedom stabbing upwards with open wings, and exploded in the dawn sky.

It was as if there was nothingness after the fireworks had cleared, and there was a faint, faint sound of some kind of instrument that echoed in the air.

Many, many... The sound of countless jets, and the whirring sound of cables launching, spread endlessly.

"Oops...!" Reiner's eyes widened for a moment, a certain anxiety was condensed on his face, and his brows were tightly tightened, "It's the main force of the investigation corps!"

050

"In order to free up his hands to launch the signal flare, he jumped down with himself as a bait to buy time to pull the trigger... What a lunatic."

Berthold subconsciously clutched the fatal wound on his abdomen, and a chill rose in his heart. Just now...if the man hadn't only focused on saving Alan, he might have been obliterated by him long ago.

The half of Reiner's severed arm has almost recovered at this moment, and he hurriedly urged Berthold, "Let's withdraw as well!"

There were black shadows in the distant place above the head, and the sound of three-dimensional mobile equipment was getting closer and closer. After a few echoes in the open space of the rift valley, the sound was amplified several times, as if it could be heard right away.

Now, they also had to give up Allen.

Berthold nodded, barely propped himself up, and flew in the opposite direction to Levi together with Reiner. In this canyon area that was too deep and unable to distinguish between east, west, and north, they could only go back a long way. It is possible to throw off the survey corps above, and then break through and fly out of the rift valley.

A sudden sharp pain made Berthold feel slumped and unsteady. In the condition of not being a giant, it is impossible for Levi's knife wound on his body to heal immediately.

"Hold on a little longer...!" Reiner, who cast a worried look at him, pushed him from behind, "We'll leave this damned place when we fly out of this damned Rupture Valley!"

However, the strong sense of dizziness worsened with the excessive blood loss, and Berthold vomited a mouthful of blood with nausea.

"Leiner..." He didn't slow down, and stimulated his not sober brain with sharp pain, "this time...we may not be able to escape, the main force of the survey corps must have been deployed in the cracks according to the signal flare just now. Near the valley, just waiting for us to go up and throw ourselves into the trap... We have fallen into the trap."

"No! After we get out, there must still be a chance for you and me to become giants at the same time."

"But Ani..." The corners of his mouth were full of blood, and a trace of pain flashed in the eyes of the black-haired young man, "Ani may have been in an accident."

"……What did you say!?"

"I went up and waited for a long time just now, but I didn't see her... It stands to reason that in the last information she left us, she mentioned that Captain Levi had died and the location of the stone house where they were hiding ...We believed it was true at the time, and thought that she would pretend to be separated from Sasha the next day and reunite with everyone... But the truth? Ani hasn't shown up until now..."

"Maybe it's delayed because of something." Reiner probably understood Berthold's concerns, and tried his best to reassure him, "Don't think about it, and go find her after we escape."

"Leiner..." Berthold coughed intermittently, looking extremely painful, but some emotion urged him to continue, "We found the extinct volcano based on her information that night, and there was no one there. No, but Alan, who was supposed to stay in the stone house, was looking for a person who should have died everywhere in the forest... At that time, you and I thought that person was dead, and Alan was also too sad, plus Everyone is searching for them nearby, so we can only knock him unconscious and let him return to the team temporarily, at least to stay under our noses... But we never thought that the person he was looking for... Maybe he didn't disappear at all .”

"Just now... when I saw that man appear as if nothing had happened, I don't know why, but I suddenly understood why Ani didn't come back..."

"But this is all your conjecture!" Reiner, who refuted him loudly, tried to wake him up with his own voice, "Maybe Arnie made a mistake somewhere, and mistakenly thought that the man was dead, but you need to know... Facing any opponent, she is a qualified fighter, with her character, how could she not prepare herself for retreat?"

Berthold looked at the darkness above his head, and the countless chandeliers and torches flickering in the distance, like the stars in the sky, pointed the dark road to the two of them. This is the so-called pursuit .

"What if...the main force of the survey corps is added?"

Reiner couldn't help being surprised and stunned by what the black-haired youth said, but he immediately understood, in fact, it's strange to think about it...

Why did the main force of the survey corps know that Alan would be the enemy's target after Alan was found, but they still didn't show up to join them?

Why instead deliberately attract issue 104 to this rift valley where the power of giants cannot be exerted...?

Why were they ordered to be stationed far away from the forest and so deep underground?Even the wailing of the giantess... might not be heard...?

The role of hunter and hunted...

It was completely reversed without knowing it!

Berthold wished to turn back time. He should have insisted on being with Ani in the first place, so they might have taken Allen away without anyone noticing.

The two galloped and fled in the depths of the rift, with a large area of ​​main force above their heads, and the cliffs on the left and right sides, which were not flat, were constantly retreating with the speed of the two of them.Their dull eyes swept back and forth on this solid prison wall, and the range of Reiner's chandelier reflected a cluster of visible ranges with a radius of about several meters away.

It was just a matter of a moment, when they crossed a certain place, the cliffs on the left and right suddenly disappeared.
