-- Huhu. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info thunder outside the window, wind and rain.

Char's stunned face turned pale as the lightning shone outside the window. His wide-eyed eyes looked ahead in disbelief, his body corroding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long to see the cold white bones hidden under the flesh......

The wooden bowl was smashed to the ground, and a painful roar came from his voice.

Char's eyes flowed bright red blood, like a mad demon. And Mikasa and Allen, who were standing in front of him, were already stunned, and their inner spirits had already been crushed in Char's screams.

"Three... Mikasa...!? Char asked hard questions, but he was destined to draw no answers from the equally shocked faces of the other party.

"Why are you the ...... And why did you betray me? Mikasa, ahhh

The body is gradually collapsing, the physical body is approaching its limit, and the instability of the soul begins again......

Char moved forward with a step, a piece of flesh dropping from his body with each step. From the nose, to the mouth, and finally to the eyeballs and ears, all the facial features are lost, and only a few scary black holes are left on the face.

"I trust you so much that I've told you my biggest secret. Or are you really just an old human after all...... Is it an incorrigible existence like those guys?! Mikasa, ahhhh

The hand that had peeled off the skin finally stopped in front of Mikasa, and with a feeling full of hatred, the arm that wanted to kill the other party with his own hands hung down weakly.

"Ah, I want to kill you, Mikasa. However, in the end, I still couldn't do it......

-- Poof.

This is not the sound Char makes when he falls, but the desperate cry of Mikasa's heart falling into the abyss.

Char's hand brushed over Mikasa's face. A red blood mark was drawn on the white and collapsed face, and some of the flesh was left on the face.

"Char, ah!!hhh At this time, Eren on the side suddenly came back to his senses and let out an angry cry and threw himself at Char, who fell to the ground. But at this time, I am afraid that it will be too late, the poison has already penetrated Char's internal organs, and he is already dead and can no longer die (laughs).

Alan cried Char's name as he picked up Char's body with one hand. It's a pity that when he was just halfway through his arms, Char's body began to break from the middle of his waist, and the split flesh and large intestines scattered all over the ground suddenly filled the air in the entire room with a bloody atmosphere.

Alan looked at Char's corpse broken in two on the ground with trembling hands, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his butt on his ass, his expression almost collapsed.

At this time, Mikasa had already lost her judgment, and her face was pale and weak, and she was almost more hit than Allen.

"What's going on?"

Slowly, like a zombie, Mikasa turned his head to look at the ground.

"That's ...... Whose corpse?"

There are no eyes, no ears, no nose, no mouth, and all the features are gone, leaving only an empty head.

Who's this? I don't know.

But the iconic red trench coat on the corpse could vaguely tell that the person who fell was Char.

"Char? Is it Char?!"

Mikasa subconsciously took two steps back.

The blood that flowed from under the corpse was already wet to Mikasa's feet.

――What's going on? Why is this happening? No, no, no, there must be something wrong there!

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! The heart, internal organs, and flesh all hurt so much!

On the verge of collapse, Mikasa grabbed his face with both hands, his nails digging into the flesh, blood dripping down his fingertips.

The trembling pupils were still rejecting the reality of what had happened, and the test tube hidden in his arms was more like laughing at his own ignorance.

"Ahh Ah...... "Too angry to make a sound."

But the sorrow that followed made Mikasa's heart tormented. It was I who killed Char, and it was my carelessness and hands that killed Char...... Such thoughts kept coming up in Mikasa's heart.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and a feeling of despair permeated his body. Hands, I can't feel it anymore. Only a slight trembling numbness and the urge to destroy everything reigned on the apex of reason.

"Ahh Ahhhh ”

Anger, hatred, and remorse.

The girl named Witch was haunted by resentment at this moment, like a demon's pupils reflecting a light and shadow that tried to destroy everything. Coming out of hell, stepping on his blood and moving on.

Walk, walk, walk until the closed doors and windows are opened in front of the window.

The cold wind and rain outside roared and roared into the house. Let the wind and rain lap on his face, and the tears of unspeakable grief are intertwined with the wind and rain.

Raising his long knife, he roared in the night sky of thunder and lightning...... Like a lonely beast.

――――――――――――――――――

A month later.

Realistic time.

Location: Royal Capital.

……………

Walking ahead, Captain Nadel suddenly stopped.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I have some things to do next, so I'll ask someone else to lead the patrol later. Nadel said with an unnatural expression. He handed over command of the team to another member of the team, and his face hurriedly disappeared into the sidewalk. This scene is a little strange to everyone, but since it is an order, it can only be followed, right?

With that in mind, the team began to act again.

「…… Like, something is wrong."

Although Arnie still walked at the back of the line with her head down and not saying a word, she was actually gradually becoming alert.

"Delusion? It always feels like there are fewer and fewer people around here."

This Marian Road is not as busy as the Central Plaza, but it is the only way to the Central Plaza. In normal times, there are trade vendors, horse-drawn carriages, and the crowded roads are often so crowded that the gendarmerie has to maintain order.

Whew, a fallen leaf blew under Ani's feet.

Arnie stopped and looked behind her.

There was not a single pedestrian in the cold streets, and even the noisy cries of the past had disappeared. The houses on both sides of the street are closed with their doors and windows, and the shops and the like have long since closed. As for the human beings, there is no trace of them, and it is like a town after being attacked by giants, with a hint of gloom in the silence.

"Hey! Ani, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and keep up. ”

The acting captain noticed that Arnie had fallen behind and shouted at her.

Ani saw the acting captain's arm waving at him and nodded to him, and ran up trotting all the way to catch up with the group.

In the process of running, Ani's vigilance has been raised to the highest, and the silver badge in his hand is even more cold sweat on his hand.

"What's wrong...... It's going to happen."

The team kept moving forward along the patrol position, but I don't know if it was because Ani was getting more suspicious or if it was really a strange situation in the area.

By the time Ani came to his senses, the team had unconsciously reached an extremely remote place. This area is the site of an accident a few years ago, and although the official explanation at the time was that it was a fire, there were actually eyewitnesses who saw several giants fighting in the area.

Of course, no one will believe in folk legends at all.

But what caught Ani's attention was that this was not the route the team was supposed to patrol at all.

“…… Well, are we on the wrong track? Arnie asked, coming out of the group. She leaned over and suggested to the temporary captain in front of her to change the route, but received no reply.

It's really strange to say, as the team gradually penetrates this area, Ani's inner uneasiness grows stronger.

It's like ......

"Step by step, I am walking towards my guillotine."

Ani covered his somewhat nervous chest with his hand - Char!

"Ani."

――！？

Ani looked into a dark corner of the street, and her eyes suddenly widened. The man who was wearing a raincoat to hide his figure turned out to be Amin.

"Why is Armin here?!"

Watching Armin beckon to him, Ani was a little conflicted about whether he should go over or not. But if you continue to move forward like this, Arnie does feel that something is wrong.

Turning around, Ani walked in the direction of Amin.

Amin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ani coming towards him, everything was going according to plan. Randomly, Amin lures Ani deep into the mouth of the alley.

Here Amin tells Ani what he came to and why he is here.

"Ah, you're already a member of a gendarmerie regiment."

"Amin...... What exactly are you dressed for? ”

With his back to the sun, Amin greeted Ani, but Ani couldn't feel the kindness of the past from Amin. It's better to say that Ah Ming, who is dressed in a bit of gloom at this time, makes people feel a strange sense of disobedience.

"Cargo merchants, using raincoats to hide three-dimensional mobile devices."

"What's going on?"

"Ani, can you please help us rescue Char?"

What the? Ani's eyes narrowed for a moment.

---Knock knock!

Arnie subconsciously covered his chest, because the uneasy feeling in his heart just now swelled to the maximum, almost as if he was about to jump out, and his heart was trembling.

"That...... Yes, what does that mean? Ani's voice trembled unconsciously, and she stammered as she spoke.

"Char was caught. In order to rescue Char, who was escorted to the royal city for trial, we came here in advance to lay an ambush. We have determined the order and timing of the rescue, but the route of escape is not yet certain. So ......"

"So you need someone who knows the terrain to lead you the way, don't you?"

Armin nodded.

Arnie sighed and covered her head with a headache.

"I'm sorry, but what you're saying is ridiculous. Let's not talk about Char's strength, but I'm not sure if there is anyone in the human race who is his opponent. The only thing I can be sure of is that Char is strong. Sorry, I can't help you. With that, Arnie turned around and wanted to leave.

The moment he turned around, Ani noticed Ah Ming's expression, but was surprised to find that the other party really seemed very flustered, as if his refusal was completely unexpected by the other party.

But is this panic a true reflection of that excuse...... Or are you surprised that the lies don't work? Arnie couldn't give a clear judgment.

After all, Char was caught or something...... There is no way Arnie could believe this reason. That man is the self-proclaimed strongest guy on the planet, and it's absolutely impossible for someone to be caught.

"Wait, Ani! It's true that Char was caught! Because the other party used the partners of the reserve corps very despicably, and took advantage of Char's trust in his partners to take the opportunity to poison the food, Char was caught! ”

Arnie stopped, and seeing her somewhat stunned expression, it was obvious that she was somewhat convinced of this reason.

"Poisoned? By whom? ”

Ani suddenly turned his head and stared at Armin with a somewhat fierce expression. Looking at her appearance, she may be extremely angry now, if possible, even if the other party is Amin, Ani will definitely not show mercy.

"Hmm. It's Mikasa and Allen......"

Armin swallowed hard and said the names of the two. To be honest, it was the first time for Amin to see Ani's expression that had changed so much, and Ani, who usually had almost no desires, simply judged the two of them.

- Mikasa?!

"Is it because of Mikasa again? That idiot hasn't learned his lesson yet!!"

Ani's grip on the hilt of the knife let out a piercing scream, apparently pinched by the sheer force of the grip that had broken the plank.

"Of course, I understand Ani's feelings, but in fact, Mikasa and Eren are being used by the enemy. In fact, they didn't know that the food was poisonous, which is why they did such a thing. However, now in any case, rescuing Char is the most important thing, and in order to escape the guards of Sheena's Wall so that my friends can escape smoothly, I can only ask Ani! Only members of the gendarmerie can help us and Char escape! Seeing that Ani's expression was a little shaken, Amin hurriedly spoke again.

………………

Arnie turned his back to Amin, so that the other party could not read his expression.

"What to do? Do you believe Amin? No, his original reason was full of flaws, not to mention poison, that kind of thing, just Char would be poisoned, which is unbelievable. But it can also deny the existence of this possibility because of this, after all, if the other party is Mikasa, Char's stupid person may indeed eat it in his stomach without thinking...... What to do!"

Arnie leaned sideways and squinted at Amin behind him.

"Do you believe him? Did Char get caught? Or do you just ignore it and continue to wait for the appointed time to come...... No, no matter which one, the inner uneasiness will always expand. Damn, Char, you big idiot gave me such a problem at the last minute!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Ani finally sighed helplessly.

"I see."

Arnie placed the gun he was carrying in the corner.

"No matter what, I can't ignore Char's safety...... Really, I've been infected by stupid people."

In the blind corner of Amin's sight, Arnie quietly brought a special ring to himself just in case.

"I promise you, Amin."

"Great, thank you Ani."

No one noticed that the moment he raised his head, a bloodthirsty red light flashed in Ani's eyes.

"No thanks......"

――――――――――――

"Char, what's wrong, are you dizzy?"

"Huh?"

Unintentionally asked, I opened my eyes.

Slowly looking around, the first thing that caught my eye was a bloody leather whip.

This is the torture room.

It was just after eight o'clock in the evening, but there was no human breath in the nearby ten miles.

In the wilderness, an excellent place to kill people and throw corpses.

I thought I would be detained in the cathedral of the royal city, and only there is no one to visit at all times.

Looking out through the window in the dungeon, the moon is round and big, and it's a good time to feel homesick.

“…… Sorry, asleep. Looks a little tired. ”

"It's also reasonable, I haven't closed my eyes since last night. But if it were you, there wouldn't be sleepiness at all, would it? ”

After asserting his assertion, Fides found that his body was cold.

After a long time together, Fides naturally understood that it was caused by fear.

Even if the man was locked in the spine with cross locks, his limbs cut off by a knife, and imprisoned, he was still so terrifying.

The eyes are gone, the nose and mouth are gone, but they can still show a smile that threatens others. The smile was full of arrogance and hypocrisy, as if it was arrogant and dismissive of everything in the world.

"Why are you so far away from me? I can't do anything. ”

teasing himself and questioning, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw a layer of iron-blue embarrassment appear on the other party's face.

The man with the whip and the long knife in his hand showed a frightened expression in the face of an unarmed prisoner who had no hands at all, and it was an ironic picture no matter how you look at it.

But it's not bad either......

After a long absence, I experienced the feeling of being a prisoner under the stairs, and I felt quite new in my heart.

“…… Hum. You've got a smug look on your face, Draco. D. Char. is worthy of being a man who can turn the world upside down, and only this kind of eternal arrogance is most in line with you. ”

The iron door opened.

Layer by layer of seals and stickers were removed, and then a long red carpet was thrown on the floor by the servants, and the speaker slowly walked out the door.

Fides knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"My lord, Rotolokine. Aibes. May the glory of God always be with you, Kuhaifi. ”

It was quiet.

Char suddenly fell silent after "looking" at the arrival.

The atmosphere of the entire prison became extremely strange in an instant.

"Impossible...... It's you? ”

"It's me."

“…… This is supposed to be the inner world within the inner world, why are you here? ”

"Nothing surprising. Everything grows, not to mention that your faith is not the root of the world, a thousand branches and leaves? So now stand before you and form one of the infinite possibilities. You're right? Draco. D. Char, the old enemy of our remnants. ”

Facing a long-lost enemy, but also an enemy in his own destiny. Remnant Soul.

Char smiled grimly.

This is really unexpected, I didn't expect to meet such a tricky guy in this place that was supposed to be a triple inverse (inside) world!

Yu Yu sighed, Char looked at the person in front of him a little helplessly and said, "I miscalculated, I didn't expect that there would be remnant souls hidden in this kind of place, you guys are really pervasive." ”

"So, is that big guy over there your demon in this world?"

Char asked, pointing to Fides on the side.

The remnant smiled, neither admitting nor denying. He looked at Char with playful eyes, smiling and admiring the tragic scene in front of him. There is nothing more pleasant than having one's enemies tormented in front of oneself. What's more, this guy is still a demon who made his heart stop for three seconds......

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's just a little comforting to look at the little usefulness."

"You ...... guy"

Char moved the chain that was clasping his lute bone behind him, and let out a crisp clanging sound.

Because the wound was moved without permission, it was only natural that blood would splatter or something.

Char suddenly found that the other party showed a rather enjoyable expression because of his miserable situation. Like a cat, she squinted her eyes comfortably.

“……… Bad taste guys. ”

“… Is it. Compared to being absorbed by someone, I guess it's not a bad taste, right? ”

"You're making me sick, remnant."

"In the face of many compatriots who were killed by you and forcibly took away their souls, it is also a wish to make the enemy feel disgusted."

"Miscellaneous soldiers, how dare you say it."

"Oh? In the face of the fact that your strength has been sealed ninety percent, and the only remaining strength is at a loss because you are trapped in the depths of more than ten meters underground, what is the need for you to be afraid? Or rather. ”

――――？！

Char felt a sudden pain in her face.

The whole head was kicked to the back of the head with a strong force, and the chin was raised high.

"Uh-huh!?"

"Do you still think you're the invincible Draco. D. Char?! A god who travels freely through time and space, ignoring the laws of heaven and earth, and has the power to rewrite the laws of a world at will? Or do you think your invincible army of steel will come out to save you? Ha, that's stupid! ”

The remnant shouted, looking at his distorted expression, it must have been suppressed for a long time.

Char lowered her head slowly, and two lines of nosebleeds flowed down her nostrils.

- Phew.

Spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground, Char slowly raised his head.

There was a flash of red in his eyes.

"A mere ...... of the undead"

"Hmph, the undead might be a good choice for a lost dog."

The remnant straightened his messy collar and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I'm not much of an interest in you as a dying man. It's just out of a desire to avenge the death of many of your compatriots who have died. Well, now the gas is also out...... It's almost time to get down to business. ”

"Business?"

Char looked at the remnant soul with some confusion.

The remnant shrugged.

"There is no way, the host of this body turns out to be a bloody master who wants to rule the world. As a member of the remnant soul, I can only choose to respect his desires. ”

“………”

"Ah, speaking of which." As if remembering something, the remnant suddenly turned around and said with a strange smile, "You and the girl named Ani seem to be quite close, huh?" It's good to be young, but you also need to pay attention to moderation, right? So let me help you. ”

“！？”

"I know, you gave the key to the girl named Ani, right? Cut, cunning guy that. ”

"Why do you know ......?"

"The so-called key is not a key in the fixed sense of the word. It can be human, it can be an animal, it can be a monster, it can be a non-human, and it can be a dead thing. For example, silver coats of arms and the like......"

The corners of Char's mouth twitched.

He sighed heavily.

"Ha, it seems that you have completely seen through it."

"Hmph, of course. How could you possibly allow you to escape my surveillance in my turf? But don't worry, you won't have to worry about it soon. ”

"Oh?"

The remnant smiled meaninglessly.

He nodded at Fils on the side, and their eyes intertwined in mid-air, knowing what the other meant.

"Well, goodbye that. No, it's goodbye...... I had a close Master, Drac. D. Char. ”

With a creak, the iron door was slammed shut.

Fides stood in front of Char with a long, rusty knife.

"Finally, I'll give you some good news."

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Char was already the last word of his hand in the face of this, but there was still a flirtatious and disdainful smile on his face.

"The girl you're worried about won't be long before she comes to accompany you. It's nothing, just take it as a gift from me, so that you don't be too lonely on Huangquan Road. ”

"Hmph, don't you even plan to let an innocent outsider go?"

"This is his command, to cut down the grass and eradicate all those who have anything to do with you to die. Not only her, but all of your cadets and people you know will be secretly executed after your death. ”

Silence.

There was an unquenchable anger in his chest.

"Anyway, I'd better hear how you're going to kill them."

Fides opened his mouth with a sinister smile.

"Simple, I'm just telling those people that if they want to save you, they'll have to capture Arnie and trade her for her. It's nothing, a mere giantess, the public enemy of humanity, and it's not a bad deal for them. The girl named Mikasa is very anxious for quick success, and I heard that for your sake, even if it is her own life, she will not hesitate to atone for her sins......"

Char's eyes trembled slightly when he heard that Mikasa would rather die first for his own sake.

lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull into a smile.

"Huh...... One or two, there are so many guys who can't be reassured. ”

Fides suddenly felt very unpleasant when he saw Char's smile, which made him lose interest in continuing to tease the other party.

"That's enough, that's the end of the. Tomorrow you will still be used to parade the streets, the human traitor Drak who defied the king's orders and joined forces with the giants. D. Char. After confessing his sins in front of the gods and receiving the most honorable execution, he paraded through the streets to clear his name...... Well, it's just a corpse parade through the streets. ”

As he spoke, Fides raised his blade and aimed it at Char's neck.

"It's over!"

Well, Fides swung his blade forward with all his strength!

Just listen to the sound of a knife entering the flesh with a "poof"!

A bloody arrow spilled from the wall.

Char, it's still that Char.

Fides, on the other hand, looked down in horror with wide eyes.

In front of his chest, a big hole was pierced!

"Hmmm......! You, you actually?! ”

Slowly, Char raised her head. The eyes hidden under the long black hair were emitting a faint blue light.

The giant's arm, composed entirely of energy, slowly pulled out of Fides' body.

The ground was sprinkled with blood.

"A mere miscellaneous."

Filled with a playful tone, Char's body slowly floated.

The right arm squirmed, and the bones and flesh regenerated in an instant. That's super-fast regeneration!

Char instantly regained his limbs, shook his head, and let out a crisp bone sound.

"Hmm...... In the end, it feels good to have sound limbs. You say yes, right? Fides? ”

"You, when exactly did you regain your strength?!"

"When? Stupid, of course, from the beginning. ”

"What? No way! If you were invincible from the beginning, why would you be caught by that kind of indiscriminate trick? Isn't it because your abilities haven't been fully restored?! ”

"Restoration? Trick? Catch? Ahahahaha, boring and boring. That's just a game before I left this world, pass the time and pass the time~"

"Hmm......"

As soon as Fides wanted to speak, Char suddenly stretched out four arms from behind his back and directly grabbed Fides's limbs one by one, half-hanging in the air.

Suddenly, a bad premonition came over him, and Fides let out a cry of horror.

"Kill that, miscellaneous soldiers. Shut up. ”

- Smack! Char snapped her fingers. All four arms worked at the same time, breaking Fides' limbs like tearing a rag doll.

Before Fides could let out a louder scream, a monster-like head suddenly appeared, and swallowed the frightened Fides into his mouth.

Upper and lower teeth bite.

Flutter!!

Char looked coldly at Fides, who was chewed into his stomach by "Void", and his face was expressionless.

"The power of death? …… Not bad. ”
