The days we traveled with Mikasa
Chapter 47
47,
......
That night, Chen Qing lay on the bunk, closing his eyes and looking back at the events of the day.
Although the training in the afternoon was a bit boring, it still made him more confident about the fitness test.
"..."
Suddenly, he heard a slight creak of the wooden ladder. The sound was very small, indicating that the person who was climbing the ladder had deliberately lightened the movement.
"Ellen, it's time to go."
The suppressed voice sounded, and Chen Qing looked sideways and found that there were three or four dark shadows climbing down from different upper bunks.
He turned the fire energy into the loop near his eyes, and the darkness in front of him was dispersed, and his vision was as bright as a lamp.
This was Chen Qing's research on the use of fire energy, but it was derived after the fire of the living beings condensed the circuit. Currently only he can use it, and Mikasa can't mobilize fire energy, so even if the circuit is activated, it can't do it.
"Allen, Rainer, Almin, Berthold?"
Chen Qing saw the true identities of the black shadows clearly, doubts arose in his heart, and he began to recall the details of the original work.
....I got it.
Chen Qing remembered that there was indeed a scene in the original book, probably in the second half of the fourth episode. It was about the four people sneaking away at night to relax, while Reiner and Berthold showed their nostalgia for their hometown.
"Hey, what are you doing."
He made a sound.
Although you already know their purpose, you still have to ask knowingly so that you can get involved.
After all, Keith knows the relationship between Allen and him. If he catches Allen, then he can't kill him?
Therefore, for the safety of his friends, it is better for him to follow along.
"?"
Hearing Chen Qing's voice, the four crept figures stopped immediately, and Lena turned his head stiffly and asked carefully.
"Is it Chen Qing?"
"Yes." Chen Qing got up from the bed and put on a cloak embroidered with a shield and two crossed swords. "What are you going to do? Let's go together."
"Okay, Rainer said it's beautiful there!" Allen nodded and said, good friends are going together, of course he is welcome.
"This... let's go together."
Rainer and Berthold hesitated for a while, and then agreed: "Go! But don't disturb other students. You have to follow my command when you bypass the sentry."
"No problem, let's go."
Chen Qing patted his chest, but didn't know if Rainer and Berthold saw it.
"Squeak!"
The wooden door opened, and five dark shadows took advantage of the night to sneak out of the boys' dormitory.
They hid in the shade of the trees and walked through, holding their breaths when passing the guard tower, not letting themselves make any noise, and then stepped over the wire fence on the edge of the playground.
"call--"
After walking a certain distance, Reiner stopped, and Berthold, who followed him, let out a sigh.
"We are safe now, we can go slower."
Reiner turned his head and spoke to several people, then took out a match from under his cloak and lit the lantern in Berthold's hand.
The light of the oil lamp lit in the dark woods, driving away the anxiety in everyone's hearts.
Chen Qing looked around a few times. Huo Neng did not detect the fire of living creatures around them, which meant that there were no other creatures around them.
Probably because this place is also under the jurisdiction of the training corps, so there are no wild beasts, even snakes and insects are rare.
"It's safe around here...Wait!?"
Just when he retracted his gaze and planned to disperse Huo Neng, he found two different things suddenly appeared in front of him.
Reiner and Berthold have circuits in their bodies?
Noting this, Chen Qing's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and he began to observe these two circuits, but the more they became familiar with them.
He looked at Alan on the side, and surprisingly found that the circuits in the three of them were similar. The main circuit structure was exactly the same, except that the end of the circuit and the part connecting the spine were somewhat different.
"what's going on?"
He can't figure it out a little bit, is it possible that these two people also have any special abilities?
"..."
Just as Chen Qing stared at the backs of the two of them thinking carefully, Lena, who was walking in the front, felt a chill behind him, turned around and found that Chen Qing was staring at him in a dream.
Does Chen Qing have any special hobbies?Or maybe...he discovered my identity?
Rainer couldn't help thinking in his heart, but no matter which possibility made him feel creepy.
Berthold noticed Reiner's uncomfortableness, and looked at him suspiciously: "Reiner, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing... I just feel a little cold." Rainer shook his head, explained, and made a "go back" gesture to him.
"Ha! I said it would be cold at night, let you wear more clothes, and you said that your body is okay! How about it? You are at a loss?"
Allen laughed at what Rainer said.
"Hmm...not! How could this little cold affect me?" Lena retorted subconsciously, "It was Chen Qing staring at me that made me feel cold."
"Eh?"
Hearing what he said, Alan and Almin were both taken aback, then turned to look at Chen Qing who was walking at the end of the team.
Chen Qing had already retracted his gaze when he heard Leiner's words, just bowed his head and walked in silence, so Alan and Almin didn't see anything.
"Hey, Lena, it should be normal for Chen Qing to look at your back? After all, the woods are so dark. If he doesn't keep his eyes on him, he will easily fall behind." Seeing that the atmosphere is wrong, Almin said quickly. .
"Yes." Rainer knocked on his head and scolded himself for being suspicious. It was only the second day after joining the army. How could it be seen!
......
As he walked, Berthold began to talk: "...The rest of the people here are mostly just to maintain the social system."
"Huh?" Hearing what he said, not only Alan and Almin, but also Rainer also raised their heads. Obviously this topic is very new to them.
Of course, Chen Qing, who had known everything for a long time, was not attracted. He still followed silently, while thinking about the use of these circuits and why the circuits in the three people were different.
"After all, in their opinion, people who are still a producer after twelve years old will be regarded as a coward, so under this kind of public opinion, they have to become a trainer to prove themselves."
"..."
Alan looked at Berthold's back, his eyes flashing constantly, obviously he remembered some rumors he heard in the wasteland.
The same is true for Almin and Rainer.
"I should be similar to them. After all, I came to serve as a soldier in order to join the gendarmerie and go to the mainland to live a good life." When he said this, Berthold's eyes were dark and he just walked away. With.
The flames in the lantern were beating steadily, and the flames in the hearts of these young training soldiers also began to beating. The situation in this world was far more complicated than they thought.
"Maybe not, I will give up all of them. I lack my own opinion..."
Almin's eyes were flashing, and he had his own insight: "It is also a great thing to cherish your life..."
But his comfort obviously didn't work, Berthold and Rainer's eyes were still gloomy and heavy.
For a while, no one spoke anymore. There were only a few people's footsteps in the jungle and the "creaking" of the broken branches.
After crossing several barbed wire fences set up by the training corps, Rainer said in a low voice: "I want to return to the hometown that I can't go back to. This is my only wish."
His eyes condensed, and he released a firm light.
"In any case, I have to go back."
"..."
A row of cold sweat appeared on Allen's face, and the gauze bandaged on his head was wet, and even one of it ran onto his cheek.
He heard the determination in Lena's words, and he also admired Lena's firm conviction, but he couldn't imagine what could make people unable to return to his hometown.
Even the wall of Maria, whose hometown is falling, can be returned, right?
"...What about you?" Berthold, who led the way, turned his head, looked at Alan and asked, "Why do you want to be a soldier?"
"I...."
Alan lowered his head, his eyes seemed to have crossed the ground, and once again saw the mother who was half crushed by the falling rock in the battered ship cabin, and the mother's expression of fear was still frozen on her face.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes burst out with the same decisive light: "The giant must be killed."
"...Ok?"
Hearing what he said, Rainer and Berthold turned their heads to look at him, bewildered.
"I have to kill the giant with my own hands, that's what I think." Allen said in a calm voice, expressing the belief that has been lingering in his heart.
There was an incredible expression on Lena's face.
"Even if you have felt the horror brought by giants, didn't you give in in your heart?"
"Yes, but now it is still uncertain whether I can become a soldier. After all, I performed so badly on the first day. Even if my belt is broken, it is enough to show that my talent is lower than yours." Ai Lun said.
At this moment, he was not the impulsive and irritable child in front of Chen Qing, but a soldier with hatred, nothing more.
"tread..."
Berthold and Rainer stopped, and the clouds in the sky dissipated at this time, revealing a bright moon like a jade plate.
The moonlight is as bright as daylight, the white veil shrouds the mountains without knowing it, and the lake in the valley is also reflecting the moonlight.
The sparkling waves are really beautiful.
"Don't be discouraged, Chen Qing has helped you find the source of the problem." Lena looked at the beautiful scenery, and the depression in his heart seemed to widen at this moment. "If you say, you can definitely do it."
He turned around, smiled and asked Alan, "Your name is'Alan Yeager'."
"Well, thank you, you are called'Lenna Brown'." Allen raised his head, looked at the blond boy in front of him, confidence returned to his chest.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the bond named "Partner" was silently planted between them.
"Hey, let me say a few words."
Chen Qing recovered from his thoughts. He looked at Lenner's encouragement to Allen. He felt that this man did not look like an enemy, so he put aside the question about Lenner's internal circuit for the time being. Let's take a step by step. .
"Well, please speak."
Rainer nodded. He knew that Chen Qing was Ellen's good friend, and he had a good relationship with Ellen now, so he wanted to make friends.
"Ellen, I still said that, don't let hatred control you, but you should use the power of hatred to achieve the purpose of revenge."
"It may sound difficult to understand, but you have to rely on your own knowledge of specific things. This is something we others cannot do, but what I can do is to persuade you and stop you when necessary."
He walked up to Alan, stared into his eyes and said.
The hatred can be said to be his old friend, and he has been controlled by hatred, but the taste of it is not good, so he sincerely does not want Alan to go there again.
"As for you, Rainer and Berthold."
Chen Qing turned around, looked at them and said, "No matter where your hometown is, as long as you are still in this world, as long as you are still alive, you will be able to go back one day."
"And lack of opinion is not terrible. What's terrible is that you lose yourself. You only need to do what you think is right and make your own efforts with a clear conscience. The result must be better than you do nothing. Do it a lot stronger."
"..."
"Thank you, Chen Qing."
Berthold and Rainer listened carefully, Chen Qing's words helped make a choice in their hearts, which may not be completely resolved, but at least in the short term, there is no need to be confused.
"You are polite. They are all companions. There are still many places to help each other in the future." Chen Qing smiled and looked at the picturesque scenery in front of him.
"It would be nice if Mikasa was there, she would definitely like such a beautiful scenery."
He thought silently in his heart.
