"This should be the first time we've met, Captain Hannes."
Erwin looked at the man in front of him and said.
"Ah...ah." Hannes was stunned for a moment, "Is there anything Captain Erwin told me to do?"
"Indeed...I have something to ask you." Erwin said and put the book in front of Hannes: "But before that, I hope you read this."
When he said this, Erwin kept looking at Hannis to see if there was any change in his expression...
As a result, all he could see was 'confusion'.
Are you hiding yourself...or is it some other reason: "Is this your thing?"
"Huh?" Hannes didn't understand. The man in front of him said nothing more, and carefully looked at the cover of the book: "The truth of the world—the attacking giant... What does this mean?"
"Don't you know...Forget it, let's take a look." Erwin said: "Look at the content and you will know what I mean."
When he said this, he turned his head slightly to look at Levi who was sitting beside him.
At the same time... outside, the heavily armed survey corps has surrounded this place, and then, whether he is an enemy or a friend... the decision must be made here—
a few days ago—
"Hannes? Then...you can talk to him yourself, I will call him over." Pixis said listening to Erwin's words.
"I see." Erwin continued to ask after confirming: "But, there is one thing I'm curious about, why didn't you directly attack Hannis, didn't even conduct any interrogation, and even made him a The squad leader of the garrison regiment..."
"It's dangerous, he." Pixis looked out the window and said, "The Garrison Corps is different from the Survey Corps... If we divide it by giants, those who can defeat giants by themselves can be said to be among the Garrison Corps." There are only a handful of them... But, it is different among the survey corps... But even so, there should be only a few people who can easily kill giants. I think the old man is Hannes A very dangerous person, but we may not have the ability to catch him."
With that said, the commander of the garrison regiment turned his head and looked at Erwin: "So I put him by my side, old man, and I can monitor him at close range."
"I see."
Erwin looked at Hannes and recalled the previous conversation. At that time...he didn't ask why Pixis didn't tell the difference between Hannes and the book in advance, but must wait until he himself Investigate it.
However, he was already mentally prepared.
Mentally prepare for the worst -
…
"Hi—Armin! What's the matter?"
Allen and Mikasa ran behind Armin.
"I...my grandpa is going to die!" Almin had tears in his eyes.
"!" Allen was stunned, and this time he held Armin and ran forward: "Damn it! Then why are you running so slowly! Mikasa, let's hurry up!"
It's different from the original animation.
Almin's grandfather did not die in this investigation outside the wall...
Among them, Almin's grandfather is one of them...
It was reported by Hannes...Although his position at that time seemed not enough, Almin's grandfather was still crossed off from that list.
But... such a move would only add a few months to the old man's lifespan.
Although his body is still quite strong, but... after all, his age is there, and after such a series of tossing... he can't bear it anymore.
Soon, they met Almin's grandfather in the refuge camp in Trost District.
"Armin..."
"Grandpa—!" Almin rushed up and knelt down in front of the old man.
"Heh...hehe...I'm sorry...well...live on." The old man reluctantly raised his hand to hold Almin's hand, and then looked at Hannis who was beside him: " They... Almin and the others will leave it to you."
"Ah, I see." Hannes nodded: "You can rest assured."
Then... the old man closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep forever.
Hannis let out a heavy breath, watching his hand walk out slowly.
He has already read that book...knowing the original future of the three of them...that's right, it's just the original, the current situation has undergone tremendous changes compared to before, no one knows where it will go in the future.
But...he also has a little weird feeling.
That is...Compared to him now, the self in that book seems to be more like the original self, more like the useless soldier who drank in the garrison regiment...
Instead of this... who can kill giants at will.
Who the hell... who gave him this power! ? Give him this... ability!
Is...the creator of that book?
Looking back, looking at the three of Alan who were crying, he also understood why the application he submitted was approved... If you don't know, it's okay to say, knowing that he is Almin's grandfather, he still let him go to the front line... .
At that time, once Alan and the others read the book and know what's in it... they will definitely be even more angry.
But why... didn't the Survey Corps do anything to those three giants?
Or did you catch them without knowing it?
Thinking like this, Hannis completely missed a girl with a hood walking past not far away, thinking about the interior of Trost District.
…
Ani hid his appearance and started to act in this night.
A coup d'état had already taken place inside the wall, and the previous investigations were all over... However, according to the situation in the newspaper, none of those people should have died, those great nobles who should know the situation inside the wall.
Just being imprisoned.
Therefore, before joining the Survey Corps, if you can seize the opportunity... Maybe you can learn from the imprisoned nobles where the ancestor giant inside the wall is!
