"Now, I'm going to get to the important part."

what?

That's where the important part comes in.

After talking all night about how Eren had been tortured to the point of being a dried-up human, she finally understood why everyone else had already run away. Even Mikasa Ackerman and Lin Yan, who were previously unaware of the situation, had chosen to leave this strange man in advance by observing his words and actions.

He was so annoyed!

At that moment, a panicked soldier burst in, shouting, "Squad Leader Hange, there's been a problem with the test subjects... Both Titans have been killed!!!"

This was a test subject that had been captured with great difficulty, but for some reason it had turned into a pile of bones, and Hange's mournful cry echoed throughout the sky.

"Ah—my Son, my Bing, who killed you? Why did you have to leave me? I hadn't even had a chance to conduct the experiments I envisioned… You died so tragically, the person who killed you was truly wicked!!"

"My Bing and Sony died so tragically."

At this moment, Squad Leader Hange showed a pained expression. She had truly devoted herself to the experiments on the Titans, and this was a devastating blow to her. Some speculated that there were two or more perpetrators, but further investigation was needed to determine the specifics, as this was no small matter.

As for investigating this matter, that's a matter for the military police.

At this moment, Lin Yan was wearing the Survey Corps' Wings of Freedom, his entire face hidden under the hood, and beside him was the Survey Corps' Commander, Smith.

"Irwin Smith asked in a low voice."

Who do you think is the murderer?

Who could be the murderer?

"What do you think?"

"The murderer is your enemy," Lin Yan said calmly.

Although this incident ultimately became the main clue leading to Annie's exposure, it still took considerable effort, and Lin Yan's words were indeed spot on. However, at this point, Alvin Smith hadn't yet grasped Lin Yan's intention: an enemy? Wasn't that obvious?

"Commander Smith asked."

"Are you saying there's a traitor among us?"

"Who knows."

Lin Yan turned and left.

The giant's corpse in the distance reeked of a foul stench, and not wanting to be covered in it, he strode forward. Commander Smith, having been rebuffed, wasn't one to hold grudges; this was a man capable of great things.

The Military Police Corps' starting point for the investigation was the 3D Maneuver Gear.

They need to inspect everyone's 3D Maneuver Gear so they can find the real killer of the experimental Titans.

The inspection proceeded smoothly and systematically.

Each soldier carrying a 3D maneuver gear had to line up for inspection, which went very smoothly.

When was the last time you replaced the rotating shaft?

"Following the sweep operation six days ago."

Now it was Sasha's turn.

The foodie girl with the ponytail was a little nervous at this moment. Although she was clever and quirky, she was also quite timid.

"Same as the records."

Another soldier was responsible for verification.

If the maintenance and repair records are consistent, then suspicion can be ruled out; if they are not consistent, then further investigation can be carried out.

"Okay, you're next."

"Class 42, Christa Lenz."

"Confirm the degree of wear and tear."

These investigations also aroused dissatisfaction among some trainees, who were all muttering to themselves.

"What kind of nonsense is this, investigating us trainees?"

"Exactly, our training is already very tough, why are you putting us through this?"

"Although it feels a bit strange, it is, after all, an important test subject."

"It's probably because someone hated the Titans and wanted to vent their anger by killing them."

“But that would be like helping the giants,” Armin said, his thinking quite unique. “While that person’s desire for hatred might be satisfied, it would be a great loss for humanity.”

"Because I'm an idiot, I can probably understand."

Connie acted as if he was still half asleep throughout, speaking nonchalantly.

"Before seeing the Titans, I genuinely intended to join the Survey Corps. But I never want to see them again, even though I have to decide which legion to join today."

Connie said.

Yes.

Everything was disrupted. The decision on which legion to join was supposed to be made today. And then yesterday's events left everyone trembling with fear. They barely escaped death, a near-death experience. That hellish scene would terrify many and become their eternal nightmare.

Now, Connie looked at Jean, who was clenching his fists in the distance, and felt even more emotional.

Jean Kirchstein—this arrogant fellow—was serious at this moment.

He recalled a scene from the past, when everyone was engrossed in the brutal battle and Fu Hai didn't turn around, while Jean Kirschstein stared at Connie in fear.

She suddenly looked at him, her whole body trembling.

But he uttered something utterly unbelievable.

"I want to join the Survey Corps."

what?

Join the Survey Corps?

How can this be.

How could Jean Kirchstein say such a thing? He initially dreamed of joining the military police inside the city walls and living a safe life in the interior. He was also extremely arrogant in advocating his dream and mocking those who wanted to join the Survey Corps.

Just yesterday, Jean Kirchstein was still complaining.

Just one day away from settling down inland, they faced their greatest crisis.

Just one day...

In the end what happened?

Moreover, Connie saw resentment, fear, and inner turmoil in Jean Kirschstein's eyes... but why did he still say those words?

Jean Kirchstein's body trembled violently, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Unable to control oneself.

"I want to... join the Survey Corps."

After saying this, Jean Kirchstein squatted down in anguish and wept bitterly. His heart was clearly filled with resentment and fear. The resentment stemmed from having struggled for so long to finally gain the qualification to join the Gendarmerie, and having witnessed such hellish conditions.

What he found most unbearable was witnessing Marco Bot's tragic death.

He trembled as he made a vow in his heart that he would definitely join the Survey Corps and fight the Titans to the very end.

hateful!

Jean Kirchstein cried out in his heart.

Connie was the one who realized this and was extremely shocked. "I said, Connie, what are you thinking... that guy actually wants to join the Survey Corps."

Of course, Connie's attention to Jean wasn't solely due to their relationship; he was also pondering the same question. Having thought about it for a long time without an answer, Connie was currently wavering between joining the Survey Corps and the Military Police.

"Should we allow it?"

Armin was also surprised.

Ani said indifferently, "I have no opinion."

“You’re going to join the Military Police anyway…” Connie said, glancing at Annie. Indeed, Annie was going to join the Military Police from the start, not the Survey Corps or the Garrison Corps. After all, Annie was someone with absolute strength.

"I can't get answers from anyone else either," Connie said, somewhat disappointed.

"I guess I should have chosen the Military Police."

"I ask you, if someone told you to die, would you do it?"

"I'll say it coldly," Annie said.

Rather than calling Annie cold-hearted, it's more accurate to say she's someone who can see the bigger picture, given her special status. While humanity within the walls is still striving to unravel the secrets of the Titans, she, as an enemy, remains hidden unnoticed.

This air of knowing the answer all along is the main reason for her current calmness, even indifference.

In Annie's eyes, weren't these people just foolish? Especially those determined to join the Survey Corps, like Eren Yeager, a recruit eager to die. And Annie knew best the power of the Titans—an overwhelming force.

Even assuming the giants have already infiltrated the city walls.

And they were completely unaware.

In Annie's view, perhaps humanity has already failed.

It might be even worse than that.

This is like humans standing in front of a group of ants. They can easily crush each ant, and a basin of water can destroy their nest. Humans would not think of this as a battle, much less as a victory.

Of course, for Annie Leonard, an Eldian warrior, the greatest threat came from those who were the only ones within the walls who knew the secret. As the successor to the Female Titan, her only mission was to join Marseille, Reiner, and Bertholdt on Paradis Island to complete the "Retrieval Plan of the Founding Titan."

As the "Recapture of the Founding Titan" plan was completed.

So--

She will return to her homeland.

This is just a small task.

Connie replied incredulously, "How could that be? Of course not, I'm not stupid, why would I do that?"

"Then why don't you just follow your own will?"

"Armin, which one are you going to choose?"

“I think if you understand why you die, then there will be times when you have to die…” Armin lowered his eyes slightly, a trace of sadness in them, and the answer in his gentle eyes was without any hypocrisy or pretense.

This was the result of his thinking.

"Although I was somewhat reluctant."

"Really? It seems you've already made up your mind."

Annie wasn't particularly surprised.

This seemingly frail boy is actually very stubborn; he has resilience in his bones.

"Yes, that was the plan before."

For example, Connie was torn between his decision and Armin's, which was much easier since he had already decided to join the Survey Corps from the beginning.

"Really? Armin, even you..."

Connie's resolve was wavering.

Over the years, they had become close comrades, and what Connie, who had been wavering, wanted was a definite affirmation. If most of the top ten joined the military police, then he would naturally follow suit.

However, at present, Jean, who is eager to join the Military Police, wants to join the Survey Corps, as does Armin, who has always been weak.

What should he do then?

Annie said to Armin without saying a word, "You are weak, but you have a lot of backbone."

Armin looked at Annie and uttered a startling statement.
