He was also fed up with the life of fear and silence, so he just obeyed his original intention and joined under the banner of Wings of Liberty.

Tom is very clear: the Legion can directly fire him, so he went to the survey corps with the hope of shutting himself up forever.

But he is very confident in his previous top three skills and his long-term vigilance against assassinations. He believes that he can survive smoothly even if he is in the Survey Corps, and he can display his ambitions well.

only……

He really underestimated the huge gap between humans and giants, and also underestimated the loss rate of the first batch of recruits of the Survey Corps.

Even if he has a good foundation, even if he actively trains to maintain his skills, the veterans who can really survive the investigation outside the wall have the actual combat experience between life and death that the gendarmerie lacks most.

Moreover, even veterans would often be buried in the belly of giants because of a slight mistake.

Thanks to the support of his teammates, Tom has been in the Gendarmerie for a long time with the halo of the soldier king, which made him instinctively maintain a trace of past self-confidence after joining the Survey Corps.

It was this little bit of self-confidence that allowed Tom to die in the first off-wall investigation he participated in, as the top military police officers wished.

……

"Sure enough, some people in the Survey Corps are not of the same mind inside the wall."

Shinji nodded.

This also explains why the clock tower on the wall rings so loudly every time the Survey Corps returns.

Nine times out of ten, the original intention of the formation of this corps, in addition to the pursuit of the internal personnel, also implied the intention of some people inside the wall to exclude dissidents and warn the public.

"So many lives were sacrificed just for such selfish thoughts?"

Shen Er felt a trace of anger—as the so-called concern leads to chaos, since the first time he saw the badge of Wings of Liberty, the intimacy with the Survey Corps in his DNA was activated, and after knowing the dark corner of the truth behind it, his emotions also Then violent ups and downs.

The energy in the scorpion also showed positive growth for the first time after a long period of sitting and eating.

Shen Er didn't chuckle because of this: it just showed that he decided to take over this burden of responsibility that had nothing to do with him and could be heavy.

He continued to look through the information about the wall. Although he couldn't understand who built the bell tower, he found an unexpected surprise.

From the perspective of the person involved, it happened in 784 of the calendar in the wall: a miner living in the wall of Rose, in pursuit of a better life, crossed the wall from the ground and tried to enter the wall of Sheena, which is richer in material.

He found a corner close to the bushes, where he could avoid the sight of the garrison regiment, and started digging with his usual pickaxe.

The work went very well, and the hole was soon deeper than his height.When the excavated soil could no longer be thrown outside directly, he packed it in a cloth bag, climbed up the ladder and went outside. Except for drinking occasionally and relaxing his stiff muscles, he devoted all his time to digging .

After the miner dug down about half a meter, the wall of Xina's Wall was still preventing him from getting through the tunnel—this is not surprising. It is normal for such a tall city wall to have a stable foundation rock plate underground.

But the miner continued to dig for several hours, and after he had penetrated nearly ten meters underground, the rock plate was still hindering him.

"For the foundation, do we need to dig so deep?"

Curiously, the miner swung the pickaxe vigorously at the rock, but the latter was not damaged at all, instead the pickaxe was broken—it seemed to be a substance stronger than the wall.

So the miner gave up digging the hole, but confided to his trusted friends in the tavern: "We may not only be on the ground, but even the underground may be surrounded by walls!"

Fearing that walls have ears, his friend interrupted him.

But the next day and thereafter, the miners did not show up for work.

The miner's friend, after exhausting all means of finding him, finally told the garrison everything, including the miner's attempts.

Then the next day, the Garrison Corps and the Gendarmerie began a large-scale joint search.Finding the whereabouts of a poor miner is a bit of a stretch -- even if he's a criminal trying to dig the ground to get over a wall.

The miner's friends couldn't understand why the corps were so active in this matter, but the miner was not found until the end.Then the miner's friends also disappeared one day, and no one knows their whereabouts to this day...

"The miner's friend should be the Gendarmerie Corps, and if the miner didn't die in an accident, he should have been silenced by higher-level forces."

Shen Er quickly came to a conclusion based on the data.

Linking these things together, he couldn't help but wonder: What kind of truth is hidden outside the walls and under the ground, so that the Gendarmerie is so careful to eliminate all traces?

"Armin, what do you think?"

In order to cultivate him into an excellent staff officer, Shinji asked Armin to participate in his analysis process.

But at this moment, this bright young man was staring blankly, with a terrifyingly gloomy expression. If you want to compare it, it is full of black lines with Isayama's characteristics.

"It suddenly occurred to me that my parents disappeared one day after making a hot air balloon and flying outside the wall..."

Armin, who was covered in cold sweat, showed a crazy smile that was uglier than crying.

004. Parade Island Cooked Rice King

Shen Er was silent for a moment, and then patted Almin on the shoulder: Obviously, his parents were also silenced by the military police because they might touch the secrets outside the wall.

When this kind of thing happens to others, or when it is read as a document, it may be just cold information, and at most it will make the bystanders sigh "the world is dark".

Shen Er has read a lot of history books and played many strategy games. In this kind of game, he can often commit crimes that are not too many to be shot ten times. Countless people have been killed directly or indirectly because of his instigation of wars.

Therefore, after he first came to the world inside the wall, he also wanted to treat this journey as a game. The aborigines in this world are like NPCs or digital codes to him, and they can be regarded as tools to help him pass the level .

However, a dust of the times, falling on a person's head, is like a mountain.

When the victim appeared next to him and had established a relationship with him before, Shen Er gradually understood: this is not a game, every participant is a living human being, not generated by code, but has been born in Out of this world.

Armin's mood is very low: if a relative dies from a natural disaster or disease, although he is also very sad, he also knows that it is difficult to avoid.

But if he died in a man-made disaster, he couldn't help asking himself: "Even children know the prohibition inside the wall. If I reminded my parents earlier, how good it would be to give up this stupid idea of ​​death!"

Almin is not a person with a firm will to fight. When he learned the truth about the death of his parents and the efforts of the royal government to stifle such thoughts, he naturally had negative thoughts.

Although a long time ago, I made a dream of going to the outside of the wall to see the sea, but compared with life, is there still a need to persist in this dream?

"No!"

After confirming that the doors and windows were closed tightly again, Shen Er said firmly, "Your parents are not wrong! They just want to take a hot air balloon to see outside!"

As a traveler who has received modern education, has learned about the struggle history of Bruno and Copernicus, and still has power at hand, the high-pressure policy of the royal government will only arouse Shen Er's anger.

He is like a brother whose younger sister "just wants to see the airship", he is full of fighting spirit and sense of responsibility, and the energy in the scorpion is full again.

"Not only is there nothing wrong, their invention may also change the future of mankind! Avoid the sacrifice of countless members of the Survey Corps!"

Shinji pressed his palm tightly on Almin's shoulder, reminding him of the meaning of the hot air balloon.

"Countless people from the survey corps have sacrificed for three purposes: to understand the outside world, to establish a stronghold outside the wall, and to regain the land outside the wall! For this reason, they did not hesitate to use their mortal bodies to challenge their strength in the wild. The disparate giant—”

Shen Er continued: "But as far as I know, a hot air balloon with perfect technology can carry a small team of soldiers and supplies, can rise to an altitude of several thousand meters, and fly a long distance for several hours! Do you know what this means? "

After all, Almin had a clever mind, and quickly murmured to himself: "It means that if there are enough hot air balloons, we can build strongholds on city walls and treetops that cannot be reached by giants, and can carry long-range weapons. You can explore the world inside the wall with a good perspective without paying so many sacrifices, and even..."

"Even saw the sea!"

Shinji encouraged Armin with a preacher-like attitude.

The sadness of the truth about the death of his parents and the infinite possibilities outside the wall are intertwined in Almin's heart. He has difficulty thinking and breathing, but he just follows his instinct and asks in a daze: "There really is that kind of thing outside the wall, and the merchants spend their whole lives looking for it." Is it an inexhaustible huge salt lake..."

Shen Er nodded: "Although I have never seen the sea in this world, according to the knowledge I have, the ocean is the source of all life, and that kind of thing must exist!"

Except for the giants, the species and natural phenomena in this world are no different from the human history that Shinji is familiar with, so he can be sure of this.

Almin didn't understand: no matter how smart he was, he couldn't understand the inevitable connection between the ocean and life in the evolutionary history due to the limitations of the lack of teaching materials inside the wall.

Shen Er understood his expression, so he came up with an idea: "Starting today, if you are willing to accept, I will teach you the knowledge of physics, biology and chemistry that cannot be grasped in books, and wait for you to understand the truth of this world." After that, you can research power, fuel and materials, so that the hot air balloon can float across the sea, so that the soldiers of the Survey Corps don't have to die in vain."

Armin fell into deep thought and consideration, but not out of fear, but out of prudence.

He finally asked cautiously: "Mr. Shen Er, first of all, I am not afraid of the difficulties and dangers involved, but is there such a possibility: the royal government forbids us to explore the world outside the wall, because the real existence outside the wall may be Destroy the existence of human beings, and the royal government cannot announce it due to some kind of pressure?"

Shen Er nodded: "You don't have to be so cautious, I appreciate your independent thinking and daring to question—"

Armin's idea does abandon personal emotional tendencies, but analyzes every possibility rationally.

With the same rationality and calmness, Shen Er said slowly, holding his chin: "So, I will use my own means to investigate whether the royal government has unspeakable difficulties, or simply avoid resistance. If there are so-called difficulties and difficulties. I will I will solve it with them, if it is the latter possibility, then..."

Shen Er didn't continue to speak, but his cold tone and nonchalant expression already revealed his disdain for the royal power.

This boldness made Armin tremble all over, and couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Shen Er, is your investigation method safe and secure?"

Only then did Shen Er relax his expression, and stretched out his palm, only to see a flying insect that seemed to have spirituality crawled out like this, almost startling Almin.

"I didn't want to use that old thing's magic..."

Shinji shrugged and muttered to himself.

In the world of Xingyueyuan, he returned to Europe, and after repairing the closed magic circuit in his body, he also mastered the water attribute magic that is most suitable for the physique of the Matou clan.

Of course, the magic of insects that Shen Er had been obsessed with since he was a child was also tailor-made by Matou Zouken according to the physique of his clan. If you are looking for a familiar that is the least eye-catching, then this thing is perfect.

With the awakening of Shen Er's sense of mission, he also gained more magic power, and can manipulate more familiars to complete various investigation tasks.

"The royal government inside the wall, I hope you don't let me down!"

Shinji thought to himself.

In the Xingyue world, he also served as the superior who controlled the destiny of mankind. He understood the helplessness of "sacrificing some individuals for righteousness when necessary", and would never hesitate to get his hands dirty.

But if the government inside the wall can't give a reasonable explanation for killing Almin's parents and other explorers, for the sake of those innocent dead souls, Shen Er has no choice but to throw them into the worm bin and torture them slowly.

……

At this time, the core members of the royal government, whom Shen Er cared about, were handling government affairs in the palace of the Wall of Hina.

This inner circle consisted of five people in total: the king who ruled the regime within the walls, the three representatives of the nobles and ministers, and the religious leaders within the walls.

The three noble ministers decided the handling of most government affairs. Sometimes they would ask the king on the throne for advice, and the king would express his opinion by nodding and shaking his head.

For a small number of highly controversial plans, the three ministers will temporarily shelve them, and wait for the king to think clearly before making a decision.

Although it seemed that the three auxiliary ministers controlled the government, the king on the throne always gave people a feeling of inscrutability.

His majestic and solemn appearance, his natural kingly demeanor, no matter what news he heard, he held his chin calmly, and his calmness of controlling the situation all made the subjects fall in love with him .

All the subjects who had the honor to meet the king said: "I have always been very accurate in my opinion, such a demeanor and demeanor are worthy of the status of a king!"

Therefore, even if there is something dissatisfied with the people in the policies implemented by the king's government, they will only blame the ministers who have bewitched the sage king.

"It's obviously a group of incompetent people, but they give orders to us every day. Sooner or later, I will..."

President Zacklei, an old artist in command of the three armies, has always had deep resentment towards several auxiliary ministers.

……

After finally finishing all the handling of government affairs, dismissing some irrelevant guards, and closing the door of the meeting hall, a fat minister who had been sitting meticulously for a long time suddenly threw the official document in his hand heavily on the floor.

In front of the king, such a gaffe was obviously a little too much, but the man on the throne did not show any dissatisfaction, but poked his head out and asked a question that absolutely did not fit his identity: "Is it time for dinner?"

"It's none of your business! Shut up!"

Another minister in military uniform reprimanded impatiently. The king also didn't respond to this, but closed his mouth obediently and continued to pretend to be deep.

The mood of the four ministers is indeed not very good. With the fall of the Wall of Maria, the influx of a large number of refugees, the fiasco of the battle to recapture the Wall of Mary, and the shortage of food, this series of bad news has greatly affected The credibility of the royal government and the strong changes of this survey corps have made the public question the negative policies of the royal government.

"What the hell is Rhodes doing? At times like this before, he has already used that power to modify the memory of the people!"

The fat minister couldn't help complaining.

The other three couldn't help but nodded: In the past, no matter how many mistakes and scandals there were in the royal government, as long as they used that power, they could completely forget the forgetful people.

But in the eventful years after the fall of the Wall of Maria, the guy named "Rod" never used that power.

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since we saw Frida?"

That religious leader brought up a really key name.

"It's been a long time indeed! And the guy who was so timid that he used an impostor as a stand-in to replace him on the throne seems to have become more reclusive these days!"

Another minister dressed as a civil servant also echoed.

They exchanged glances with each other, and finally came to a terrible conclusion together: "That guy, could he have lost that power... the power of the ancestor giant?"

Following this conclusion, all four of them felt cold hands and feet, and their faces were full of Isayama lines.

"Almost got it!"

The fat minister who started the discussion finally felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and reminded others: "Even if things get that bad, don't forget that we are all grasshoppers on the same boat as Rhodes. If someone exposes the truth, After letting him fall, do you think those guys who usually look at us unhappy will let us go?"

It has to be said that this fat minister is quite self-aware of his usual popularity: in the original plot, after the fall of the Rhodes regime, he was made into a collection by an old artist.

The civil servant nodded and said: "That's right, politicians are not allowed to turn back. Even if Rhodes is really a cowardly idiot who lost the ancestor giant, we have to support him to the end!"

The Minister of Military Uniforms also agreed: "That's the reason. Even if there is no ancestor giant, we still occupy the military, political and public opinion organs. There is no need to be afraid of our subordinates and civilians. It is just the new head of the Investigation Corps. He is indeed a troublesome guy. ..."

Creatures like politicians only distinguish their positions without asking right or wrong. Since they choose to stand on the side of the royal government, they can only maintain the paradise policy that the royal family has insisted on for more than 100 years.

And those free thoughts who want to explore the secrets outside the wall are naturally the targets they need to suppress.

According to the recollection of Keith, the former head of the Survey Corps, the reason why the Survey Corps was first born was because some people opposed the royal government’s policy of non-intervention outside the wall. Such a corps to explore beyond the wall was established.
