0762 The Secret of the Basement [Please Subscribe]

There is another secret in Alan Yeager's mind: what exactly did his father do and why did he make such a choice?

Was all of this driven by his selfish desires, or was it all for the sake of humanity's continued existence?

Alan Yeager shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind and resolutely reached for the key around his neck.

"Yes."

At the same time, Alan Yeager recalled the words his father had once said to him.

[Allen, I'll show you the secret basement when we get back...] When he was young, his father and mother warned him more than once not to go into the basement. It was a very important workshop for his father, where valuable work tools were kept, and there were also some drugs that were too dangerous for a young child.

But such admonitions are more likely to arouse a young boy's curiosity.

Eren Yeager always wanted to explore the basement, but he never had the chance until the Titans attacked.

Alan Yeager was also very nervous about this operation, his feelings were very complicated. In fact, the secret hidden in the basement was indeed shocking.

The world is vast, not just within the walls, nor is it as history books say, that everyone outside the walls was eaten.

In the beginning, all of this was merely the will of the first King Reiss.

They will discover a huge secret in their basement, and what will reveal the secret is a photograph that seems quite ordinary to us now.

A sentence was written on the back—

[This isn't a painting; it's a photograph created by imprinting the light reflected from an object onto special paper.]

These are the signposts for understanding the world outside the wall.

There are still other humans in the world outside the walls. The human world is much wider than they imagine. In fact, the biggest secret is the giants that humans have been fighting all along, who are not of their own kind. Those demons are not actually devils, but humans.

In other words, humanity's enemy has always been humanity itself.

The dilapidated buildings and the streets overgrown with weeds seemed to have returned to their most primitive state.

This place used to be bustling with people, filled with the smoke from cooking fires and the warmth of daily life, but now it's all in ruins.

Alan Yeager walked down the street, his feelings a complex mix.

This is his birthplace, the hometown that nurtured him. Everything here is so familiar, yet shrouded in a hazy sense of unfamiliarity.

Whether it's a broken teddy bear lying on the ground, unattended, or half a doorplate remaining on the door frame.

All of this testifies to the remnants of a brutal war.

"Where do you live, Allen?" Squad Leader Hange asked.

“Here…” Allen Jaeger said in a low voice, leading the way forward. Everything in front of him seemed to evoke childhood memories. He had run along those nameless paths countless times.

It's as if the image of Alan Yeager as a child and his image as a teenager have overlapped.

The streets were so bustling back then, with vendors selling fruits and vegetables on both sides, and everyone beaming with bright smiles. Probably no one would have imagined that their home would now be a scene of devastation, no longer existing.

Alan Yeager skillfully turned the corner and headed into the alley. Walking on the familiar street, he felt a sense of sadness. Soon after, he arrived at the location of his home.

At the same time, his face grew increasingly gloomy.

That horrific scene unfolded before my eyes once again.

"Fortunately, the fire hasn't spread to the surrounding area," said Squad Leader Hanji, observing the surrounding environment.

Eren and Mikasa were clearing away the smaller rubble when they discovered the entrance to the basement.

"These are the steps leading to the basement."

A wooden cover concealed the entrance leading to the steps.

After opening the lid, you see a downward-sloping staircase. The depths of the staircase are dark, as if all the light has been swallowed up.

"Great, it seems there's no water inside." Squad Leader Hanji shone the light into the depths of the stairs. The wooden cover seemed to be very waterproof, with no signs of water accumulation.

This is a dangerous area, and they have no tools to assist them in their work, so any flooding would seriously affect the progress of their plans.

"Let's go." Mikasa patted Eren's shoulder very considerately.

Allen nodded as well.

Lin Yan took the lead and headed towards the depths of the stairs, followed by Captain Levi, then Eren and Mikasa, and finally Squad Leader Hange at the rear.

Everyone except Alan Yeager is an elite.

This once dangerous area no longer seemed so dangerous; at least they could definitely protect themselves.

At the end of the stairs is a door.

Alan Yeager took out his key and aimed it at the keyhole on the door.

To his surprise, the key and the keyhole did not match.

"What's wrong?" Squad Leader Hanji asked.

"Step aside."

Lin Yan was the only one who knew the truth. He pushed Allen aside, then easily broke the rusty lock with just two fingers.

"Who do you think this lock can stop?"

One sentence enlightened everyone: the lock wasn't the key, and the crucial key wasn't meant to open it.

Under the light, the entire basement was revealed; it was a very simple basement.

Apart from the necessary tools for work and simple, even somewhat rudimentary, tables and chairs, there was almost nothing else.

"It looks like a research lab," Squad Leader Hanji concluded after looking around.

“My father was a doctor…” Alan Yeager said.

Allen's father was Grisha Yeager.

Eren Yeager and Zeke Yeager's biological father, Mikasa Ackerman's adoptive father, and was once the inheritor of the Attack Titan and the Founding Titan.

He was originally a human from outside the walls of Paradis Island, from the Reberio Containment Area of ​​Marley.

In his youth, he joined the Eldian restorationists and rebelled against the Marleyan government. His deeds were exposed after being revealed by his son, Zeke Yeager. Fortunately, he was saved by Eren Kruger and inherited the Attack Titan from him.

Later, she went to Paradis Island, married Karla Jaeger, and settled in the Shiganshina district south of the Maria Wall.

After Wall Maria was breached by the Titans in 845, influenced by Eren's memories from the future, she ate Friedalanth, the eldest daughter of the Reiss family, and took her "Founding Titan." She then sacrificed herself so that Eren could inherit the "Attack Titan" and the "Founding Titan."

They uncover some of the secrets about the giants and hide them in the basement of their home.

Before Wall Maria was breached, he traveled by ship to the interior to practice medicine. After the wall was breached by the Titans, he rushed back inside the wall to find Eren and told him that he must return to his basement in the future. After injecting Eren with an unknown drug, he disappeared.

In Eren's awakened memories, Grisha injected an unknown drug into Eren, causing him to mutate into a Pure Titan, but was then devoured by that Titan, implying that Grisha was actually killed by Eren unconsciously.

In reality, Grisha knew that those who carried Titans only had 13 years left to live, and before his own time was up, he passed on the two Titans to his son, Eren Yeager.

In other words, Grisha Yeager is no longer actually in this world.

So--

The truth that Allen has always been following.

When will we finally see the full picture?

“My father often locked himself in the basement to make medicine.”

"So that's how it is!" Squad Leader Hanji said with a mix of emotion and sudden realization.

No wonder there are so many bottles and jars on the cabinet.

Squad Leader Hanji picked up one of the bottles and jars and said, "If the medicine inside is really as the label says, it's indeed a very common and readily available drug. The books here are also related to medicine, so it's clearly a doctor's office. There's nothing suspicious about it. In my opinion, this basement is trying to convey this..."

Squad Leader Hanji has a very active mind and is able to see through appearances to the essence.

In fact, that's exactly what Grisha Jaeger wanted to express; he wanted to use the appearance of an ordinary doctor's office to cover up the secrets hidden within.

“That’s true.” Lin Yan also looked at Squad Leader Han Ji with approval.

“I’m afraid there’s nothing the Central Military Police would be interested in.” Captain Levi was also checking every detail of the basement.

Especially those bottles and jars displayed in prominent positions.

After that, Eren Yeager was in charge of looking through the books on the bookshelf, while Mikasa was responsible for searching the other sections.

Lin Yan also pretended to casually observe the studio.

Suddenly he reached out to pull open a drawer.

"Allen, the key."

There was a clearly visible keyhole on the top of the side drawer.

Allen inserted the key into the keyhole.

With a crisp click, the key actually opened the lock.

"Empty?"

Eren Yeager's tone was extremely agitated, and his entire face was contorted. They had come to this basement at all costs, only to find an empty drawer?

How could he possibly accept this?

"Look closely, there are two layers." Lin Yan reached into the drawer.

By observing the difference between the depth of the drawer as seen from the outside and the depth as seen from the inside, you can detect a discrepancy, indicating the presence of a hidden compartment.

In the hidden compartment, they found three books.

"This smell is from kerosene and charcoal, wrapped in moisture-proof and anti-corrosion material," said Squad Leader Han Ji, holding up one of the small items.

"It seems this is what we're looking for."

"Captain Levi said."

"What does Dad want me to see?" Alan nervously placed his hand on the book, then carefully turned the pages and saw a picture on the title page.

Is this a portrait?

Allen picked up the picture and examined it closely, asking with some confusion.

The reason for the confusion is, of course, because the image is incredibly clear. Modern humans would readily recognize it as a photograph.

However, the people inside the walls never saw a camera or any photographs.

Lin Yan reached out and took the photo from Allen's hand.

Squad Leader Hanji also spoke from the side.

"It's so detailed, it doesn't look like it was drawn by a human."

On the back of the photograph, Mikasa wrote, "The writing on this back is my uncle's handwriting..." Indeed, on the back was a passage: "[This is not a painting; it is a photograph made by imprinting the light reflected from the object onto special paper. I came from outside the wall where humans live elegant lives. Humanity has not perished. I hope the first person to receive this book will be one of my fellow human beings.]"

Grisha Yeager, a man from outside the walls with countless secrets.

He has a past that is unknown to most people.

That memory is associated with sadness, cruelty, and numbness in humanity.

It is related to young girls who yearn for freedom.

Grisha Yeager is a descendant of the Eldians who lived on the continent.

She once had a younger sister named Fie Jaeger.

One day, in order to see the airship Macon, Grisha Yeager and his sister broke out of the Reberio district, which was a restricted area for Eldians. They were captured by Marleyan officers Krug and Gulus. Grisha willingly took Krug's punishment in place of his sister.

But instead of taking Fey home, Guros drove his sons' dogs to kill her.

Grisha Yeager grew up to become a doctor.

He developed a strong hatred for Marley because of his sister's death, and later joined the Eldian Restorationists, where he met his first wife, Dina Fritz.

She possessed royal blood and was the Pure Titan who would later devour Eren's mother. After their marriage, they had a son named Zeke Yeager, who would later become the successor to the Beast Titan.
