After Queen Historia was crowned, the people's minds were settled and everything was on track.
Half a month later, the recruitment of the Central Military Police Corps was completed and it was full. Today is the day when Ymir will announce the intelligence outside the wall.
Ren actually knows a lot, but not in detail. However, for some reasons before, he said that Ymir never told him anything. He doesn't know anything. Don't ask, just ask about quantum mechanics and the multiverse. Steampunk.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.
In the conference room of the Presidential Palace, the Queen is sitting high on the throne. Sitting in the first row below are the big bosses, President Daris, Commander Pixis, Commander Nair, Commander Alvin, and the second row. Captain Levi and others.
The recruits of the 104th batch of the Survey Corps, Alan, Mikasa, Amin, Jean, Sasha, and Connie were also present. Because of the queen, they had the honor to accompany the last one.
Ren is sitting in the third row, just to the left of Han Ji. He is still a member of Han Ji's class, but he also holds a position in the Central Military Police Regiment, and his military rank is the same as hers.
Before the meeting started, Ren picked up the cup and took a sip of black tea, absent-mindedly. After talking to Mikasa that day, he realized some of his own violations.
It had been a while since he had seen Renn. Hanji didn't show any signs of it. He put his left arm around his neck and said with a smile: "Isn't this Deputy Guard Captain Renn? It's amazing. He has become equal to me so quickly. In a few years, maybe I’ll have to call you sir.”
Calmly taking Hanji's hand away, Ren asked softly: "How is the research on those reagents?"
When it came to business, Han Ji became serious: "Once the reagent that can turn a person into a giant is exposed to the air, it will evaporate immediately, making it difficult to study.
But after drinking the potion with Armor Brown written on it, Allen successfully mastered the hardening ability. A few days ago, Ymir asked me to take a bottle. She must have taken it, but I don’t know how effective it is. She can test it in a few days. "
"Is that so? Is there any other progress? Can we use any of the design drawings and weapon samples we collected from the Central Military Police Regiment warehouse?" Ren asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ji's face became excited and she patted him on the shoulder: "Of course, the technical department is developing a brand new weapon, somewhat similar to the grenade you mentioned!
Not only that, using Allen's hardening ability, I suddenly had a sudden idea and prepared to develop a big killer weapon! As long as it succeeds, it will definitely work...haha! marvelous! "
He also reached out and patted Han Ji on the shoulder. Ren lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Squad leader, pay attention to the occasion."
Finding that many people's eyes were attracted, especially the look of disgust from the soldier commander, Han Ji realized that he had lost his composure, sneered and said nothing.
After a cup of tea, the meeting officially started. Ymir, who was sitting in the front row, stood up. She thought for a while and then slowly said: "I am an orphan. I have lived in the Rebelliu District of Marais since I was a child. , that is a shelter. Like you, I am an Eldian, a descendant of the so-called devil. Marais is a vast country..."
Ymir was not her original name. She was originally an orphan. She lived in a shelter by stealing and begging with a few friends. In her own words, she was like a rat in the sewer.
One night, several unidentified men said they wanted to adopt her. She hesitated for a while, left behind a few companions who depended on each other, and left. Her companions blessed her.
Because she looked a bit like the portrait of the ancestor Ymir in the book, she was packaged as the "goddess" Ymir of the Eldians. She slept on a comfortable bed and accepted people's worship. She quickly I have forgotten the difficult days and my friends, and I feel that this kind of life is not bad.
But the sect she belongs to is similar to a cult. It is actually controlled by people with ulterior motives to paralyze others, rule others, and gain profits.
Later, the cult was shut down by the Marais Public Security Bureau. As the "goddess", the nameless girl admitted that she was "Ymir". She was willing to be exiled to the island of Pa. She tried to sacrifice herself to save the believers, but she still failed to save everyone. .
After being injected with a reagent and transformed into an Immaculate Titan, she wandered around Parady Island in a daze for sixty or seventy years. By chance, or with Reiner's divine assistance.
She successfully ate an intelligent giant, that is, the "eldest brother" Marseille Beliku Galliad, a companion of Lenaani and the others. She regained her human body again. This time, she wanted to win her hard-won second Live for yourself in the new life.
Five years ago, when the super giant destroyed the gate of Shiganshina District, she followed him in, pretending to be a survivor and got into the crowd of people fleeing for their lives.
Using her instinct as a religious leader, she sneaked into the church to eat and drink secretly, and overheard what happened to Historia. She sympathized with the poor girl and decided to join the training corps to protect the girl who had a similar fate to hers. Girls.
Everyone was a little silent after hearing this. After a while, someone asked about Marley, the asylum, and the ancestor of the giants. Ymir told them all. However, she didn't know much after all, and it was all information from more than 60 years ago. .
She now has a part of Marcel Belikku's memory, but maybe it's because he inherited the giant's power for too short a time. In short, Ymir didn't get much of his memory.
Regarding the ancestor Ymir, her theory is that the real Ymir of that year contacted the devil on the earth and signed a contract. This is actually the official version of Marais, while the restorationist version is the power given by the gods.
"I can understand that Ymir is hiding information to protect herself, but Ren has known for a long time that she has the power of a giant but has been hiding it. Don't you need to explain?" Neil Decker turned to stare at Ren.
Renn, who was a little distracted just now, opened his eyes wide and showed a weird smile: "Yes, I am also very curious. This is not my style at all. After I knew her identity at that time, I was originally inclined to tell the investigation Corps.
What made me change my mind, and even deliberately forget and ignore this, I also find it strange. "
It was not until recently that the sacred fighting energy in his body was undergoing some unknown changes that Renn finally realized that he was "abnormal". He came to this world knowing some of the "future". He should not be so "conservative" and timid. That's right, you know, he was once a battlefield butcher.
These words were a bit baffling and the answer was not what the question was asked. Nair wanted to question him, but Alvin interrupted him: "This result is not bad. If we took action at that time, the consequences would be unpredictable."
The consequences are unpredictable, the consequences are unpredictable... These words kept echoing in his heart, and the sacred fighting energy in his body became active. Renn felt that he seemed to have grasped some clue.
"Ren, what's wrong with you? You're acting strange today." Hanji asked in a low voice.
Ren was startled when his thoughts were interrupted, and looked at Han Ji beside him: "What do you think is the reason why a person always makes many actions that are inconsistent with or even contrary to his way of thinking, or thoughts and behavior habits? ?”
"Maybe he's sick..." Looking at Ren, who didn't look like he was joking, Hanji stopped smiling and pondered for a while: "Has he changed? Or is he under some kind of influence?"
Ren was silent, and Ymir had basically finished speaking. Regardless of whether the remaining information was useful or not, she would write it down one by one, but today's meeting was not over yet.
"So, should everything be announced?" Commander Pixis said.
Nair frowned and hesitated: "This can easily cause panic. The order has just stabilized. Now is definitely not the time to announce all this."
Darius crossed his arms and looked at Alvin with a smile on his face: "What do you think?"
"We already know some of the situations outside the wall. The secrets in the basement of Allen's home may not be that important. I feel that we must announce all this so that everyone inside the wall can know the true face of this world.
But in terms of time, we can put it after the recapture of Wall Maria. If it succeeds, we may obtain more detailed intelligence. If it fails, we can also let the people know who our enemy is. Alvin said very calmly. He was actually in a good mood because his father's conjecture had been verified.
Daris pondered for a while: "Only the Queen can decide on this matter."
Historia's tone was firm: "After the recapture of Wall Maria, regardless of success or failure, everything will be told to all the people in the wall. They have the right to know everything."
After the meeting, everyone stood up and left. Ren walked to a lawn alone, looked up at the blue sky, and smiled with an unknown meaning.
