Chapter 181: Complicated Relationships!
Night, somewhere in the territory of the Wall of Mary.
In a small-town church.
Inside the church, there were about a couple dozen square meters of free space. All the seats inside had long since been destroyed, and their remains had become wood for the fire that was burning inside the church now.
Several people were sitting around the fire: Su Xiao, Annie, Rainer, and Berthold Hoover.
In the corner of the church, Eren and Ymir were leaning against the wall. Eren had recently recovered, but due to his injury, he didn't have the energy to become a titan. He couldn't even get up. He could only stare at these four people with hatred.
Eren had previously scolded them and shouted at the top of his lungs, but because of Su Xiao's "soft" persuasion, Eren shut up.
Compared to Eren, Ymir was much calmer and just rested against the wall.
The two of them weren't treated badly, compared to Reiss ' History.
Historia Reiss didn't have the strength of a titan, so she couldn't break a couple of limbs, so she was just tied up very well and left in a corner.
— How soon will you regain your strength? Su Xiao looked at Annie and Reiner. Although the two of them were running at their full speed, the female titan couldn't run for a decent amount of time, so basically Ryner covered most of the distance.
— In a maximum of five hours, we can be on our way, right in the middle of the night, so we don't have to worry about running into the Titans.
Su Xiao nodded. Now they must leave the wall of Mary as quickly as possible. If thousands of scouting corps members came after them, they wouldn't be able to win.
Su Xiao turned over the skewer that had a wild boar on it.
The interior of this wall was very clean in terms of environmental pollution, and the titans didn't hunt ordinary beasts, which made the ecological situation inside Maria's wall very good.
The boar's skin was browned and crisp, and the fat that dripped into the fire gave it a pleasant campfire smell.
This wild boar only needed to be sprinkled with a little salt, as other spices would hide the taste of this meat. Only farm boars required a large amount of spices to mask the unpleasant taste of the meat.
Annie swallowed, watching the skewer. She had stayed in the wall for several years and this was the first time she had seen meat in that time.
— Byakuya, when can I start eating, I'm starving, " Ryner asked in a tone full of expectation. He didn't hide his desire. He also didn't eat meat for a long time.
— And so... With a wave of his hand, a delicate dagger appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
The wild boar meat was distributed to the three people, and Su Xiao used his dagger to cut off the crispy crust and eat it.
The wild boar meat actually melted in their mouths, and the pleasant taste of the game quickly filled their mouths.
Annie got a piece of the tenderest tenderloin. Although she ate very gracefully, she never left the meat for a second.
— Hey! You guys are too cruel, even if you're not going to share, at least you don't have to eat in front of us, " Ymir said and couldn't bear to look at the four people anymore. Hunger was already beginning to torment her, and Eren was showing the same expression as her.
Apart from water, they didn't have time to eat anything today.
Ryner, who was enjoying his dinner, suddenly stopped and hesitated before walking over to Ymir.
— Do you suddenly have a guilty conscience? Even though you did something wrong earlier, you're right... Ymir broke off abruptly as Reiner ignored her and walked over to Historia Reiss.
— Historia Reiss, eat some meat.
Rainer tore some meat from a large chunk and held it up to Historia Reiss's mouth. She hesitated for two seconds and ate it.
Seeing this, Reiner smiled softly.
It didn't take long for Historia Reiss to destroy a large piece of meat, but she still looked a little scared.
— Thank you... Thank you, " said Historia Reiss in a whisper.
— We've been beating around the bush since the Titans showed up yesterday. I was so sleepy, but luckily the holes were blocked and I was able to take a break. After so much effort, advancing shouldn't be a problem, " Reiner sat down across from Historia Reiss and began to mutter something.
Eren, Ymir, and Historia Reiss, including Annie, were stunned, they didn't understand what Reiner was talking about at all.
Holes? The scouting corps? Promotion?
There were holes in the wall thanks to Reiner and the others.
Berthold Hoover sat next to the fire, his arms wrapped around his legs, and looked helplessly at Rainer.
— Rainer! Su Xiao shouted. Ryner's current mental state was very unstable.
— What's the matter, Byakuya, exactly! Reiner seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his thighs with both hands, and continued. — You're a member of the Intelligence Corps. When I join the Scouting Corps, you'll have to take care of me. I'm already doing great.
Hearing his words, Eren and Ymir flinched, and Historia Reiss cautiously moved back.
— This... Mr. Rainer, what are you talking about? Historia looked at Reiner blankly.
— Are you saying I'm not worthy of a promotion? Reiner chuckled and looked relaxed.
— Rainer! Su Xiao's voice sounded a little angry.
— What happened? Byakuya, why are you up tomorrow...
— You're not a Scouting Corps soldier, you're a Warrior! Warrior of the Empire! Rainer was stunned by Su Xiao's words.
Reiner's pupils narrowed and his shoulders began to shake.
After a few seconds, Reiner calmed down.
— All right.
Reiner raised his trembling hands and pressed them to his face.
— Eh? What does it mean? Eren's eyes were filled with hatred, but he looked at Ryner differently now.
— I think I know what's going on — " Ymir looked at Reiner with confidence.
— If I understood correctly, the long stay within the walls allowed him to fully integrate into the school building. He used to be a" warrior "whose goal was to destroy walls, but since he pretended to be part of the corps for a long time, now he can't say for sure whether he is part of the scout corps or a"warrior". Perhaps he can't bear the guilt and because of this, he has a different personality. One of them is Rainer, part of the intelligence corps, the person who defends the walls, and the other is Rainer ,the "warrior" who must destroy the walls. These contradictions distorted his memory. This is probably not the first time this has happened. Ymir was talking more and more, but she didn't notice how Ryner's expression was gradually twisting.
— Reiner's voice was low and a little scary.
Ymir immediately shut up when she saw Reiner's eyes tremble.
— Ymir knew very well that if she continued, Ryner would kill her.
But from the smile on Ymir's face, it was clear that her apology wasn't sincere.
— Ymir was more interested in Reiner, and the smile on her face had a unique charm.
— Su Xiao's voice wasn't loud, and he looked at Ymir calmly. She immediately bowed her head and closed her mouth. The smile on her face disappeared. She clearly understood that this guy was significantly different from Ryner. Although he looked calm, he was a hundred times more dangerous than Reiner.
Su Xiao looked at Reiner, whose shoulders were shaking violently. This man's mental state was becoming more and more unstable.
Their current group was a bit abnormal.
Berthold Hoover loved Annie.
Rainer loved Reiss's history.
Ymira liked Reiss's history, too.
Rainer's mind wasn't quite right, and people like that were usually not very pleasant to deal with.
Berthold Hoover had no opinion of his own, and all that could be said about him was that he was a mumbler.
Annie looked strong, but her mind was weak and her heart was fragile.
Reiss's history was stupid and easy to handle.
Ymir liked to talk nonsense, and she was quite perceptive, but if she dared to say anything, Su Xiao would just cut off her tongue.
Eren was the easiest person to deal with, if he didn't comply, then Su Xiao would just force him to comply.
Su Xiao suddenly had a headache. The relationship between these people wasn't as simple as a normal love triangle.
They had to leave Maria's wall as soon as possible. Otherwise, all sorts of conflicts will arise between them. If he killed any of them, he would get into unnecessary trouble.
And the basement of Eren's house... Su Xiao had to go there, he could probably get a few treasures there.
Su Xiao was on the threshold and was looking forward to opening the first door.
