Chapter 18: The Assassin

At night, it was quiet all around, except for the occasional low cooing of the owl standing in the treetops, and the yellow pupils were like monitors patrolling every corner.

The teenagers hanging upside down on the rope had long lost the strength to shout loudly, and the blood flowed backwards to fill their brains, if it weren't for their long-term training, I am afraid that this period of time would have been enough to make them unconscious, but even so, under the rotation of the telling, their cranial nerves were already a little muddy.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, such as Mikasa? Ackerman, I don't know what kind of secrets the Ackerman clan has in this world, but she is indeed the only one of the ten people who can still stay awake, under the high-speed rotation, she gradually let her nerves spread around, I don't know if it is talent or some other reason, she feels that she is gradually adapting to this rotation.

Even after observing, she noticed that the scenery that had been like a fast-forward shot was gradually slowing down, as if her pupils were emitting some kind of magic, gradually freezing everything around her, and in the following time, she began to adapt to this feeling, and gradually, the feeling of dizziness seemed to dissipate.

I don't know how long it took, Sun Jingxue, who was wearing pink pajamas, walked over with an oil lamp, and then said that after the disbandment, there was a series of knocking sounds, obviously those soldiers who enforced the law would not be polite to them, who were not reserved cubs, and directly cut their ropes with knives.

Under the premise that the brain was blank, there were not many people crying out in pain, and after struggling on the ground for a while, they stood up one after another, and the extreme discomfort of brain congestion made them unable to even say a word of complaint.

"The instructor said that you should not be late for tomorrow morning's training. Otherwise, lunch will be canceled, so let's hurry up and go back to rest. “

Sun Jingxue said apologetically, although she didn't understand why Lin Xiu tortured this group of children so much, but she believed in her own judgment, Lin Xiu was by no means as bleak as she seemed on the surface, at least she knew it well. Although it was already late at night, Lin Xiu would not return to his residence until the early hours of the morning almost every day, and after a little rest for an hour, he would walk to the training ground refreshed.

The members of the Ten Blades were exhausted, their stomachs were rumbling, and a day's training had already allowed their physical strength to withstand a critical range, but now not only had they increased their demonic training, but they didn't even have dinner. Let their stomachs not be comfortable, this kind of mental and physical two-way torture, I am afraid that they are about to drive them crazy.

It's not that the thought of giving up has not arisen in their hearts, but when they think of the instructor's smug face, they gritted their teeth and persevered, this is probably a silent protest, anyway, this instructor is not too excessive except for corporal punishment. They can be regarded as really stumbling with Lin Xiu.

Everyone almost rubbed their empty bellies and shook their heads and walked back to their resting place, Sasha's eyes rolling around. She can endure no matter how intense the training is, but starving is the only thing she can't accept, which is the purpose of her joining the army.

Sun Jingxue yawned and returned to her residence, and Sasha took advantage of the lack of attention and tiptoed towards another place. That's where the grain is stored, and when she first joined the training corps, she used to secretly go there to steal meat to eat, although she was later punished, but at the moment she still has a trace of luck in her psychology. After all, the instructor has been replaced, and although this instructor has a stinky face all day long, he believes that he has not yet discovered this.

The warehouse was dark, and Sasha's heart was pounding, after all, if this kind of thing was caught, I was afraid that she would be sent to court-martial, and she might be kicked out of the training corps, and she didn't want to live that kind of starvation anymore.

Perhaps it was because of her excessive hunger that her sense of smell was extraordinarily keen, and with an instinct for food, she quickly found a place to store the meat, because it was all inside the training corps, and no one would deliberately guard it in normal times.

Sasha grabbed a ham and began to chew it heavily, normally speaking, her appearance is also very outstanding, sixteen years old, she is close to a height of 1.7 meters, with a sharp ponytail, in addition to the appearance of eating is really not flattering, she is really a watery little beauty.

Once Sasha encounters food, her brain will lose thinking for a short time, and focus on eliminating the food in front of her, although after joining the training corps, she doesn't have to starve, but meat is a thing that is very scarce, and it is the patent of nobles, they are rarely able to taste it, and at this time, when they taste such a delicacy, what kind of punishment and vigilance have already been thrown out of the clouds.

"Yo, the food is delicious."

The sudden sound completely frightened Sasha in place, and with the faint light emitted by the dim oil lamp, she was stunned to find that Lin Xiu's annoying face was looking at her from top to bottom, looking like a smile but not a smile, and it looked particularly terrifying in the dim light.

With a click, Sasha was already stupid in place, and the ham in her hand also fell to the ground, it's over, this is the only result she can think of now, she will be sent to a military court, and then driven out of the training corps, with the style of this demon instructor, this is almost a result that can be guessed without thinking.

Sasha's eyes drifted on Lin Xiu's face, and then he looked at the half-eaten ham, this action really made Lin Xiu's brows jump, is this child a starving ghost, at this moment, he even thinks about the food on the ground, and the pitiful look in his eyes is really unbearable.

"Teach...... Instructor, I'm sorry. “

Sasha immediately fell to her knees on the ground, looking at her trembling body, she was really scared to the extreme, after all, Lin Xiu's methods in the past two days had far exceeded their original instructor too much.

"I'm sorry, if it's useful, why do you need the law enforcement team."

Lin Xiu said a classic sentence that was popular in the real world with some amusement, obviously, he didn't plan to stop easily.

"Instructor. Please, don't send me to court, don't kick me out of the training corps, I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do, just ...... As long as you keep me fed. “

Sasha had an idea, and he still remembered that the instructor had been privately evaluated by them as a pervert. I remember that on the first day, he stretched out his groping hand to Historia, and although there was nothing more excessive, it was also a confirmation of his nature.

"Is that really the case? Do what...... Can it be? “

Lin Xiu wanted this, but he didn't expect this kid to be so timid, but it saved him a lot of trouble, he had already guessed that Sasha would come in the middle of the night to steal food, although he didn't know everything about this anime, but everyone's basic information. Sun Jingxue added from the side, and he already knew it.

Lin Xiu jumped down from the top of the box dexterously, because of the light, he could only put his face closer to see Sasha's expression, but that expression fell in Sasha's eyes, it was already the same as a demon, she held back her tears, nodded slightly and closed her eyes.

As long as you don't have to starve. I can't care about the rest for the time being.

"Well, this is not the place to talk. Follow me. “

Unexpectedly, this demon instructor suddenly left in front of her, yes, although this place is extremely dark, it is not a safe place after all, he must be able to guess this. What to do, whether to inform the others or not, but once this happens, the annoyed instructor will kick her out of the training corps, this kind of result comes to mind. It made Sasha shudder.

With all kinds of uneasy feelings, she followed behind Lin Xiu, and she didn't know how long she walked, but in short, when she arrived near an empty forest where no one was around, Lin Xiu stopped her intention to continue walking.

"This ...... Over here? “

Sasha asked with some concern, Lin Xiu was a little puzzled by her question, just looking at her somewhat panicked expression, she instantly understood what she was thinking, and almost couldn't help laughing, it seems that the picture she pretended to be very successful, at least it's not bad to fool children of this age.

"Take it, you haven't eaten enough just now, have you, listen to me while eating."

Sasha was a little confused, and then she felt like there was an extra package in her hand, although she couldn't see the whole appearance clearly, but the tangy aroma was definitely the best delicacy she had ever smelled.

"For me?"

Sasha asked with some hesitation, swallowing her throat unconsciously, she really didn't have any immunity to food, but she was getting more and more confused about the current situation.

"If you don't hurry up and eat, you won't have a chance."

Lin Xiu's face suddenly turned pale, and the frightened Sasha quickly took out the food from the package and began to gulp it in, although she didn't know what it was made of, it was definitely the best delicacy she had ever tasted.

Maybe it's also a good plan to live this kind of life without starving with this teacher, she doesn't have any lofty ideals and revenge, and being able to eat is her only goal.

"Is it delicious?"

Lin Xiu sat next to her with her back against the tree, and suddenly asked, Sasha's mouth was already stuffed with food, so she could only keep nodding her head.

"Now, what I'm going to tell you next, don't mention it to anyone, including those friends around Mud, otherwise, if you don't talk about this kind of food in the future, you will also be kicked out of the training corps, you know."

Lin Xiu's expression was very serious, but he just let her go so simply, Sasha was a little unbelievable, looking at Lin Xiu's slightly frowning brows, she quickly nodded her head, as if she was afraid that she would regret it.

"Okay, if you can do it, then every night after the end of training, come here and meet me, and answer my questions, and I will bring you this delicious food, remember, don't lie to me, once I know that you are lying, you know the consequences."

Lin Xiu is a sweet jujube and a stick, even coaxing and deceiving, it is not without consideration to choose Sasha, she is a hunter herself, and she is the best one in this group of trained soldiers in terms of observation and intuition, and because of the snack goods, it is difficult for people to suspect her, these problems have obviously been measured in Lin Xiu's psychology for a long time.

"Every day?"

Sasha suddenly felt that happiness had come too suddenly, this instructor might not be as bad as he seemed on the surface, at least, he didn't punish himself. Also brought delicious food to myself.

"It's up to you to behave, remember, don't let anyone know these secrets, and ah, you're going to have to pay attention to one more person, of course. Don't be deliberate and don't be too obvious, you know."

Lin Xiu scattered his chess pieces step by step, and the bait was already hung, so it was up to the big fish to see if the big fish would take the bait.

"What...... Who? “

Sasha suddenly felt that this instructor had another special ability, that is, he changed his face, suddenly like a big brother next door, and suddenly like a demon.

The sky was white, and the night was for most people. It was still an ordinary night, the morning still came on time, the giants were still wreaking havoc in the outside world, and their demonic instructor did not die mysteriously one night.

Day after day, every day repeating this boring day, Lin Xiu has always observed Reiner, but since the last time he showed some horses' feet. He fell silent as if he had sunk into the sea, and did not make any more moves. This point was somewhat unexpected by Lin Xiu.

As usual, in the middle of the night every day, Lin Xiu still tortured the Ten Blades in that upside-down way, but as time went by, most of them had now become accustomed to some of this punishment. More often than not, it has become a habit.

"Do you feel that the scenery around you is gradually slowing down, even now that my body is hanging upside down and spinning rapidly, I am sure that I can swing the knife accurately. Is this also a form of training? ”

Marco was the most observant of the most observant except for Amin, and even if he didn't say it, the others vaguely felt this way, as if many postures that could not be done were now more relaxed.

"Save it, that scumbag would have such kindness?

I'm afraid that even he didn't think of this situation, otherwise he would have changed to other ways to torture us a long time ago, anyway, there are only two months left, and I will see how rampant he will be when the time comes. “

Let hang upside down under the rope, even though his body is constantly spinning, but he still has a good time to hold his head with his hands and talk leisurely with Marco, which is probably undreaming if this punishment has just begun two days ago.

"yes, Marco, you're just too kind, that ...... Uh, scumbag, how could there be such good intentions. ”

Sasha interjected with some concern, in fact, she had somewhat understood Lin Xiu's intentions, although she was not smart, but the hunter's intuition told her that Lin Xiu's suspicions might not be unfounded.

At least, after these days of experience and contact, she feels that the instructor like a big brother is definitely not a scumbag demon, not only does he not do anything to himself, but the food every day is very delicious, sometimes, he will sit under the tree without saying a word, looking at the night sky with some sad eyes, at that moment, it feels like he is integrated with this dark night, and it is incompatible, lonely and distressing.

But more often, he will talk to himself gently, and even sometimes teach himself some simple fighting skills, the first time, Sasha was simply scared, she never thought that this instructor who looked lazy during the day was so good, so good that it was unimaginable, almost a face, she only felt a wisp of wind blowing, and she sat on the ground, faintly, her psychology had a feeling that he couldn't say to him, confused, more worship and attachment.

His temper is not bad, he feels like two people during the day, his tone is relaxed and humorous, and sometimes he chats with himself about some things in his hometown, he is by no means an idiot second ancestor, she can tell herself this with certainty, and these illusions all revolve around this secret, the mysterious death of the last instructor.

It wasn't until today that she unexpectedly found a clue, Reiner, who Lin Xiu had been paying attention to, came into contact with a mysterious figure, this person claimed to be his relative, Sasha carefully remembered the appearance of this person, and was about to tell Lin Xiu at night, although she suspected that her companion was a little wrong, but after a psychological measure, she still chose to believe Lin Xiu's judgment.

But Marco's suspicion almost caught Reiner's attention, but Rang's words dispelled his doubts again, and Sasha only felt that his heart was pounding wildly.

Finally, the day's training was over, and Sasha carefully avoided the sight of the others and tiptoed to join Lin Xiu.

Closer, closer.

"Sasha."

Suddenly, Sasha almost fell to the ground in fright, and when he looked back, he found that it was a thin and short figure, and although the night was dark, it could still be seen from the golden hair that it was Hesrolia's figure.

"Historia? How did you end up here? ”

Sasha asked in some surprise, but fortunately, it was no one else, which also made her feel a little at ease, as long as it wasn't Reiner, then there would be no danger, but now it was not good to meet Lin Xiu, after all, the secret between them could not be told to anyone else.

"I'm worried that you didn't eat dinner, and you will sneak to the warehouse to get food, which I saved at noon, for you."

Historia opened her hands, and in the white and tender palms of her hands was wrapped in a potato that was still a little warm, and it was obvious that this kind-hearted little goddess cared very much about the feelings of others.

"Historia ......"

Sasha was so moved for a while, she would never have thought that this companion would care about her feelings like this, the food at noon was not very abundant, and she could only maintain a basic one, but she actually saved her share to herself, and for a while Sasha didn't know what to do, you know, she could endure the hunger at night every day, because there was a bigger meal waiting for her.

"Thank you."

Sasha sniffed and thanked him softly, but at this time, it was not good to turn around and leave, how to inform Lin Xiu.

"Ahh

At this moment, Historia's pupils suddenly dilated, and she was facing Sasha face to face at the moment, a figure slashed at Sasha's back from mid-air, and the moonlight reflected a fierce cold light on the steel knife, and for a moment, Historia only felt that the whole world was still.

At this moment, Sasha has not reacted yet, and the person's entire body is wrapped in a black suit, and even his face is covered, and it is impossible to determine who this person is.

At the last moment, the only thing Historia could think of was that Sasha would die, that he would be killed. (To be continued.) )
