Ymir, who had once sworn to herself "never to lie to herself again," once again sacrificed her life to save others when faced with a choice. Yet she had no regrets; her only regret, more than her life, was that she hadn't been able to marry Historia.

This small wish may not be fulfilled.

But can't he even see Historia one last time?

This world may indeed be cruel, but people's hearts are warm, and Lin Yan's heart is also warm.

"Historia, I ask you, do you want to see Ymir again?" Lin Yan looked earnestly into Historia's eyes as he spoke, every word sincere.

Historia was stunned. She stared at Lin Yan, frozen in place, as if time itself had stopped. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, like pearls falling from a broken string, each drop precious and beautiful.

That choked voice, and that feeling of anticipation.

"Is it really...really possible to see Ymir again someday in the future?"

original.

The hope in Historia's heart had been extinguished, but Lin Yan rekindled it once again.

At that moment, a familiar system voice echoed in Lin Yan's mind.

The system and Cheng Yin didn't seem so indifferent anymore.

[Ding! If you have already left this world before Historia meets Ymir, and the host's mission has been perfectly completed, the system will reward the host with a 'Historia and Ymir Meeting Card'. This meeting card guarantees the personal safety of Ymir and Historia for twenty-four hours from the date of meeting Ymir.]

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded warmly.

In this way, Lin Yan could guarantee that he would fulfill his promise, and Ymir's tragic fate would not seem so miserable.

And Historia will not have to live with regret for the rest of her life.

She and Ymir shouldn't be so cruelly mocked by fate. After all, they were both girls who sacrificed their lives and wills for others, and they deserved to be cherished. Ymir was another Historia, and Historia was another Ymir.

Moreover, Ymir is a Ymir who has been given such a name.

"Thank you."

Historia chose to believe Lin Yan.

"But I'm no longer the good girl Historia that everyone knows. I don't know if everyone will still like me."

“What’s wrong with that? You used to always force yourself to smile, and to be honest, that smile only made you more miserable. It’s better to express your emotions like this now, which is more like a normal person…”

Lin Yan said with a smile.

Just then, someone outside the door suddenly shouted.

"Squad Leader Hanji has arrived. Please assemble in the living room."

"died……"

The only one who wasn't surprised was Lin Yan, since he already knew about Father Nick's death, while the others found it hard to believe.

"Father Nick is really dead."

Squad Leader Hanji repeated it again.

Levi's expression was grave.

"He was murdered." Squad Leader Hange emphasized once again that Father Nick did not die of natural causes but was murdered; it was a murder case.

"As soon as I got to the barracks in Test District... two guards blocked my way, and I saw Father Nick lying on the ground... he was dead... I felt something was amiss then... but those people wouldn't let us in... and they were the Royal Military Police First Regiment... I used a little trick to confirm some of my suspicions..."

That man was Jeru Sanes of the Royal Military Police.

They are the Royal Military Police Corps, not the Military Police Corps.

These two are not the same organization.

Firstly, the information of the Military Police Regiment and the Royal Military Police Regiment is not shared.

There was no interaction between the Wangzheng Gendarmerie Corps and the Gendarmerie Corps.

For example, the military police commander, Nair, was very confused about what had happened. He didn't understand why the Royal Military Police had taken action, or what their purpose was. Nair was the highest-ranking officer in the military police, and his confusion indicated that there was no communication between the two.

Secondly, there are stories about miners.

Another point is that the Military Police Corps and the Royal Military Police Corps are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, and the two organizations are not even in a peer relationship, because they are directly under the command of the King, and their nature is different.

In conclusion, although this Wang Zheng Military Police Corps is similar in name to the Military Police Corps, it is actually unrelated and is like a fifth corps hidden in the dark.

“I saw his fists were swollen; he must have tortured Father Nick. He was killed, it must be… I thought the Great Wall Cult wouldn't let Father Nick, who was helping the Survey Corps, go unpunished, so I hid its true identity in the barracks. I never expected the Great Wall Cult to use the military police to kill him… It was my oversight that led to this terrible mistake. The responsibility for this is mine…”

Squad Leader Hanji also felt very guilty.

Father Nick didn't reveal all the secrets; there must have been some questions she didn't ask. Yet, such an important figure was assassinated.

Moreover, we want to find another person like that.

That would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Squad Leader Hanji looked extremely angry and remorseful.

Lin Yan, however, offered words of comfort.

“Since their influence has already infiltrated the Royal Military Police, it’s beyond your control. Even if you tie Father Nick to your body, you can’t stop their assassination attempts.”

Lin Yan hit the nail on the head.

Levi also said.

"really."

Armin had been thinking deeply while listening to this account, and now, as he pondered, he said, "The military police interrogated Father Nick, were they trying to find out how much information he had given us?"

"probably."

Levi leisurely took a sip of tea and said.

This is also the most difficult one.

"Just as Lin Yan said, the fact that Wang Zheng's military police were also mobilized shows that the power behind the scenes is very strong."

"So how many fingernails were pulled off Nick's nails?"

Levi suddenly asked.

This question surprised Squad Leader Hanji, and at the same time, the bloody scene kept replaying in her mind.

"Didn't you see? A few pieces were plucked off?"

"Although I only glanced at it, all the fingernails I could see had been pulled out; not a single one was left..."

Squad Leader Hanji was quite certain.

Those blood-soaked hands were very conspicuous.

She glanced at it and was immediately drawn to the blood-soaked hand; it was a natural reflex, and it left a deep impression.

At this moment, Lin Yan continued.

"A person who can speak will speak even if you pluck one leaf; a person who can't speak won't speak even if you pluck them all. Father Nick, that seemingly foolish fellow, seems to be a tough nut to crack, never betraying his faith until the very end. In other words, they didn't know we found the Reiss family, didn't know we found Historia."

"This is good news for us, it buys us more time," Levi added, analyzing the situation.

Squad Leader Hanji gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

She became even more resentful.

She had threatened Father Nick before, but to no avail. When he saw the displaced and desperate refugees, Father Nick showed compassion but refused to reveal the truth, only mentioning Historia's background.

At that time, she really loathed this greasy priest.

now--

The truth is that Father Nick sacrificed his life to preserve their secret.

The past disgust and present guilt intertwined, leaving Squad Leader Hanji with a complex mix of emotions.

A question remained in her mind: what exactly was Father Nick's faith? What made him willing to sacrifice everything to keep that secret?

Based on previous clues, it can be inferred that Father Nick is very knowledgeable about the royal family. Since he knows that the three walls were built with Colossal Titans, and given his knowledge of the royal family, he likely also knows about the Founding Titan and the First King's escape to Paradis Island. Following this lead, he would also be aware of the existence of humans outside the walls.

If Father Nick had informed the Survey Corps, they would have gained a lot of useful information. However, this person who knew too much was quickly silenced.

"However, our current situation is not optimistic either. These signs all indicate that a big shot in the royal court has already set his sights on us."

Levi continued.

At that moment, Sasha came in and relayed the order.

"Captain Levi, Commander Erwin has given me orders. I went to report Father Nick's death, and he has sent me here immediately to relay the message."

"Everyone retreat."

Captain Levi made a decisive decision.

"We must abandon this place... and erase all traces."

Everyone stood up except Lin Yan, who frowned slightly and, ignoring Levi's urging, said, "There's something I must tell you. Does anyone know of another type of 3D Maneuver Gear besides the ones we use?"

"I heard something."

After Historia became queen, Hange of the Survey Corps used the technology hidden by the Royal Military Police to improve the Survey Corps' weapons. We know that some of the technology inside the walls was hidden by the Royal Military Police, and the biggest victim of this was the Survey Corps, because the Survey Corps desperately needed more advanced weapons in the battle against the Titans, but the King kept them hidden.

When Kenny appears, we can see another 3D Maneuver Gear inside the wall—the Anti-Personnel 3D Maneuver Gear. This gear is used by the Royal Military Police, and its purpose in inventing is clearly to counter the Survey Corps. Kenny, when he first took command of the Royal Military Police, said, "An organization that carelessly claims to be fighting the Survey Corps..."

This statement implies that the Military Police Corps had been secretly planning to be at odds with the Survey Corps, and that they had long been prepared for battle.

"Apart from this blade, it's practically useless against giants..."

"It has no lethality, but it's effective against humans," Lin Yan said bluntly.

Levi's gaze sharpened.

"I understand."

They cleaned up all traces in the shortest possible time, leaving no clues whatsoever. Shortly after their withdrawal, Wang Zheng's military police arrived and kicked the door open.

Levi and the others, who were not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was dangerous. I don't know what would have happened if we had gone any slower."

"Why would Commander Erwin have foreseen these things?"

"It seems he received orders from the Royal Government..." Levi continued. They were concealed on high ground near the base, with a clear view of the entire base. At this time, the Royal Government's troops were conducting a low-carbon search of the base.

"Wang Zheng has decided to freeze all Survey Corps investigations outside the walls and has also demanded that we hand over Eren, Lin Yan, and Historia..."

"Is Wang Zheng planning to go all out this time? Is he determined to deal with us, even at the cost of opposing Lin Yan? Could he have some trump card up his sleeve?" Levi's poker face grew even colder. He remembered that Lin Yan had turned the tide during the last trial.

Therefore, this time there will definitely be greater benefits and costs.

That's what made them so determined.

This implies a much larger conspiracy.

This also means greater risks.

He looked at the sky. "Looks like the weather is about to change."

"And after I received the order, the military police also went to the regimental commander..." the soldier who delivered the order said.

Upon hearing this sentence...

Squad Leader Hanji was furious.

She was someone who devoted herself to the victory of mankind, let alone Erwin Smith and Captain Levi who made significant contributions.

His tone was also somewhat displeased.
