After barely recognizing and searching for some distance, Thrall came to a jungle.

At this point, Arnie's footprints had completely vanished, and at the end of the trail, there was a huge skeleton remaining--- which Thrall knew was left behind after Arnie's transformation from giant form.

Ani, who withdrew from the giant form, with her light weight and agile skills, it was almost impossible to leave him footprints or anything like that, and now from now, she can only follow the clues, and fortunately she ran in a hurry at the time, and she couldn't take a three-dimensional motorized device, otherwise it would be more difficult for Thrall to track down at this time!

Two steel cables swished twice, and nothing was left, where did Sal find it?

Although he didn't know if he would be able to hide the three-dimensional motorized device when he turned into a giant.

In fact, it is difficult to find traces in the current situation, and Sal was only in the mindset of giving it a try, but after a while, he found something noteworthy.

Although the traces are shallow and difficult to spot, there are traces of soil on one section of the route that have been thinned before--- Sal is sure that this is caused by a very hot and viscous liquid dripping! Although the soil has dried up, the color of its drips is noticeably darker than elsewhere!

When humans transform into giants and crawl out of the back of their necks, don't they just have a lot of hot bodily fluids attached to their bodies?

Sal, who further confirmed his conjecture, continued to follow this trail, believing that no matter how strong her transformation ability was in terms of recovery and stamina, she would never have the physical strength to run far after the hard battle in which the previous two forms had reached the limit!

Sure enough, after about ten minutes' journey, Thrall found a small mountain village--- just behind one side of the woods, and it was not visible from the outside, probably a village that used to be inhabited by hunters.

By this point, all traces on the ground had long since disappeared, but it didn't matter, as long as Ani didn't want to be exhausted to death or eaten by the giants roaming nearby, she would be in this village right now!

Although the giantess can summon and command other ordinary giants in the same way as the ape giants, she will definitely not be able to do so in her human state! Therefore, Ani outside the walls will also be threatened by the giants! Not to mention that she definitely doesn't have the physical strength to continue to transform, even if she does, she will leave indelible traces, so that she will be discovered by people who may track it down!

Walking slowly into the village, Thrall didn't make a sound, there were only a dozen houses in the village, even if each one had something like a cellar, it wouldn't take long for Thrall to find out where Ani was hiding!

After a blushful look through several houses, and peering through the dusty window of one of the huts, Thrall finally spotted Ani.

She was wearing no tunics, and Sal could only see the thin underwear strap behind her back, and the exposed skin was full of scars that would make an ordinary person feel elaborate.

Bruises, burns, cuts...... Even her short, beautiful blonde hair had been stuck together with dried blood......

Ani's hands were still trembling slightly.

In this dilapidated and dusty cabin, sitting on the same tattered bed, she didn't know how long she hadn't felt like this, as if everything around her could easily swallow her, without any support, let alone any background, weak as a drop in the wind, the last time she trembled like today, or the time she was separated from her father?

The injuries on his body were too serious, first the battle with Mikasa, then the stun by Sal, then the abuse of the brutes in the garrison corps, and then the pursuit and killing by the pervert of Sal......

has been able to hold on until now, and I have begun to admire myself.

Because...... There must be a reason to hold on, Arnie thought, pouring the alcohol she had found with great difficulty on the old, somewhat yellowed bandage, which was so well preserved that it had not been inhabited for so long and had not volatilized, and when she wrapped the bandage around her forehead, the bactericidal alcohol made her snort softly because of the sudden tingling sensation.

"Even if you are going to be the enemy of all mankind......"

"It's just me......"

"It's really on your side......"

Father's words kept echoing in Ani's mind at the moment.

With trembling hands, he applied alcohol to his bruised self and tied it with bandages--- there were only these two medical supplies that could be found here, there were no other drugs to use at all, but the body was so badly injured, if it weren't for the giant's strong recovery power, he would have died a long time ago, Arnie thought.

Suddenly, she stopped the movement of her hand, and an indescribable feeling of grievance rose from the bottom of her heart, and her face, which had only one expression of indifference for a long time, began to distort, and finally, a tear of unwillingness slipped from the corner of her eye.

"Why...... Why...... I'm going to have to endure all this......"

Ani choked up to herself, her shoulders began to shrug and cry, and the extreme sadness even made her subconsciously spill the only bottle of alcohol in her hand on the bed, especially unconsciously.

"I'm like...... Live like a normal person...... And...... They...... It's the same......"

Ani cried, and the pictures of life in the training corps flashed in her mind, although she didn't really integrate into that collective, but that period was the most reassuring and happiest time in her life.

At that time, no matter what they did, their companions would often pull themselves, share happy things and sad things with themselves--- although they didn't show any reaction, every time, they just put on a stinky face that they hated and listened quietly, and finally said a boring word.

Wholeheartedly only know that Mikasa who follows Sal, the sun is sweet, and Hrlista will think about others in everything, Sasha who has no heart and lungs, and her mind is full of real things......

It's the same girl, why is it just me...... To bear this fate?

After a while, the turmoil in Ani's heart was finally forcibly suppressed by herself, and she wiped the tears on her face with her mud and bloodstained arms, and reached out to continue to apply a little alcohol to the wound, only to find that the alcohol bottle was empty at this time.

With a wry smile, Arnie forced his tired and painful body to sweep a pile of miscellaneous items to the ground, and then picked up the sheet, which was covered with a thick layer of ash and already had a large area of mold, shook it twice, wrapped it around himself, curled up and got on the bed......

Outside the door, Sal, who has amazing ears, listened to Ani's previous self-talk word for word, knowing the development of the story in the original book, he naturally knew that Ani was not actually a bad person, everything was because of her unknown suffering, every night and night, she could only coldly freeze herself for the heavy mission she carried, and put on a cold mask to face people.

Actually...... Pathetic, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Sal's previous thoughts of catching up all the way and directly hacking this female man to death were gone, and even he was a little glad in his heart, because his appearance and Ani's early exposure did not give her the opportunity to force herself to slaughter humans...... Or more humans.

"I want to know the secret of this world, and the secret of this world...... Forget it, let's keep her life for the time being. ”

Sal mentally gave himself a soft-hearted excuse.

On the small bed in the room, Ani had fallen into a deep sleep, and the sound of even breathing was accompanied by tears that still slipped from the corners of her eyes to the sheets in her sleep.

Sal gently pushed open the unlocked door, without making a sound or getting dirty, and sat down on the only chair in the room facing the bed, looking at Arnie quietly.

The atmosphere in the room continued so strangely without Arnie's knowledge, Sal didn't move, looking at Ani's back on the bed, frowning and thinking, guessing the secret behind all the chaos in this world.

About 100 years ago, giants suddenly appeared......

No, it could never have appeared out of nowhere, and when the whole earth is full of human beings, there can be no such thing as 'a certain species' suddenly falling from the sky! Moreover, there are such huge numbers and such striking and terrifying giants!

Someone must have concealed what happened back then, and the one who had this ability could only be the most powerful ---- king at that time!

Or is it a church, or is it something else?

This may have a surname, but if it was a church, it would definitely not be the current Jubi Sect, because at that time, there were no current three city walls......

But the appearance of the Giant Wall Sect now is indeed weird!

Behind the scenes, they definitely have a share!

Then, there was the giant in the wall, Sal remembered that the hole in the wall was close to the top of the wall, and judging from the size of the giant's exposed eyes, it was definitely not much smaller than the super-large giant, so the most likely height was 50 meters!

And judging from the ability of Ani after becoming a giant, the giant does have the ability to harden parts of the body, so can it be considered that the body of the three major city walls is composed of the giants standing in a circle and then using the hardening ability of the body?

So, where did so many 50-meter giants come from?

Why would they spontaneously sacrifice themselves to make the three great walls that protect mankind?

He couldn't figure it out, but he knew that the Giant Wall Sect must understand.

And after reading the information given to him by the system, he began to suspect that the giants were actually humans, but except for Allen, who was injected with medicine, how did the other massive giants change? Why is the giant's weakness the back of the neck? And why did he never find any human-related organs on the back of the neck of an ordinary giant?

One meter high and ten centimeters wide.

Sal vividly remembers his mentor's description of the weakness in the back of the giant's neck on his first day in the training corps.

And Sal, who lived in his previous life where technology and medicine were extremely developed, clearly thought after a few speculations that this was exactly the space and length needed for the human brain to connect to the spine! ……

Thoughts flashed through Sal's mind, and when he rubbed his head with a headache and came back to his senses again, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and it was already dusk!

Sighing, Sal raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table beside him.

Hearing a sudden sound behind him, Arnie woke up suddenly, ignoring the severe pain coming from all over his body, quickly got up from the bed, and faced the place where the sound came from.

"You...... How did you end up here!! ”
