Chapter 2552 The Truth About the Basement

The mission to find the traitor on the island was not smooth, because there was no trace of him. Although we roughly guessed that it was the Homecoming Trio, because they disappeared for no reason, there was no evidence.

So Captain Erwin decided to start the Maria Wall Recapture Operation and use the power of the Titans to recapture the wall. But how to block the gap in the wall?

In the original work, it was through the Titans' hardening ability. The Attack Titan ate the Armored Titan's spinal fluid to gain the hardening ability, turning the Titan's body into a huge stone to block the gap.

Although there is spinal fluid now, it is not given to Allen.

So the way to block the gap is still the old way, looking for suitable stones after reaching Maria Wall.

"Let's go." More than a hundred horses, plus the new recruits who came in, set off with several carriages of resources. This time they chose to set off at night.

At night, the Titans' movements will slow down, and the soldiers can use the glowing stones in the church basement as flashlights to travel at night.

Quietly left the protection of the city wall and set off on the road home.

However, the militia had already set off first to open the way for the Survey Corps. The Titans were almost cleared, and there were no major problems along the way.

We arrived at Wall Maria smoothly. It has been five years and it is still the same here.

Erwin remembered the question he had in class when he was a child: How was the fact that the outside of the wall had been occupied by the giants proven?

In fact, there is little evidence to prove this, so he has always wanted to know what is outside the wall.

Now the truth may be in a basement of Wall Maria, and his heart is pounding.

In fact, before setting off, Allen and Erwin had found Grisha's friend and confirmed that Grisha came from outside the wall.

This friend is the former head of the Survey Corps and is now the bald instructor of the Training Corps. At the beginning, he led his troops out for an expedition, but found Grisha outside the wall, and then brought him back to the wall, and even became a matchmaker for Grisha and his wife.

Of course, Grisha did not expect that he would accidentally promote this marriage, because he also had a crush on this woman.

Later, Grisha had serious self-doubt because he kept experiencing sacrifices, but he always survived. He thought that no matter how hard he tried, he would never succeed, but just kept failing, because he was an incompetent guy, and he realized his mediocrity.

The instructor's negative energy during this period was off the charts. He met his crush who had become a mother, and couldn't help but say, "This child is just an ordinary person."

"Is it okay to be an ordinary person? Isn't it okay to be not special?" This mother didn't expect her son to be successful at all: "It's already amazing that he came to this world."

The bald instructor was immediately hit. It felt that he couldn't even talk to a housewife, and he felt even more incompetent.

There are three stages in life: admitting that your parents are ordinary people, the second stage admitting that you are an ordinary person, and the third stage admitting that your children are ordinary people. The bald instructor was on the second floor, and Allen's mother was on the third floor.

The bald instructor told them everything he knew about Allen's father, letting everyone know that the basement might be about the secrets outside the wall.

So everyone came to Wall Maria. The giants here have been almost cleared by the militia, and even the stones have been selected, waiting for the giants to come and move them.

"Is the militia so powerful?" Hanji felt that he had to re-evaluate the militia.

Erwin looked at the soldiers on the wall, with countless questions in his mind, wondering what the militia's purpose was. He always felt that they were hiding something.

The captain also stared at Duran, and he remembered his cousin's words, "Be careful of Duran." He had rescued his cousin from the underground city. Although there was no direct evidence that she was his uncle's daughter, he did have an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he saw her. This should be the connection of the Ackerman family. The captain treated her as his cousin, and saving her was just a piece of cake. But why did the cousin ask him to be careful of Duran, and how did she know Duran?

There are many questions, who is Duran?

The people of the Survey Corps are asking.

After successfully arriving at the city wall, the next thing is simple. The first thing is to block the hole in the city wall. They only need to use a lift to enter and exit the city wall on the city wall. Then it is the old way, lift the stone to block the gap in the city wall, and it will be over after blocking it.

The same operation has been completed at Ruth's Wall, and there is no problem now.

Just lead the giant to the corner of the city, and then Eren will carry the stone. Everything went smoothly, and finally a group of people came to Eren's collapsed home.

Eren remembered the scene of seeing the stone fall and destroy the house, and his mother was in the house at that time. He did not see his mother being eaten with his own eyes, but his memory would be tampered with by what he believed. He always thought that his mother was eaten, anyway, she was killed.

Mikasa and Armin stood on both sides of Eren, comforting him and giving him the strength to face his memories.

Cleaning up the ruins. Duran and Erwin stood aside and chatted: "Are you nervous?"

"It's true that you are nervous, but you don't seem to care about the secrets of the basement at all." Erwin said.

"In fact, we all have a psychological preconception, right? We probably know what it will be like outside the wall." Duran said lightly: "I care more about the undead in this city. Don't you think it's gloomy here?"

"..." Alvin didn't think so.

"Don't you believe in souls? There are even giants in this world, how can you not believe in the existence of the undead? I'm different from you. I not only believe in the undead, but also believe that creatures such as elves, tree people, dwarves, and centaurs exist." Duran said.

"So you think the outside of the wall is a world of fantasy creatures?" Alvin thought that it would be fine if it was like this, but he was afraid that there would be enemies outside the wall.

"I think they are either outside the wall or around us, but we just don't want to find them."

Alvin felt that Duran's brain was a little abnormal, so he stopped talking and went to see how the ruins were being cleaned up.

The cleaning was almost done, and no bones of Allen's mother were found, which proved that she was indeed eaten. Allen clenched his fists. He would definitely avenge his mother. No matter who the super giant was, he must kill him.

The door of the basement was also cleared, and several people entered the corridor, but Allen's key could not open the door, but the wooden door was not very strong, so they broke in directly.

Inside was a very ordinary laboratory, but with strength in numbers, they soon found a secret keyhole, and Allen's key came in handy at this time.

After opening the door, there were three diaries and an old photo inside.

It was the first time for people inside the high wall to see the photo, and they all felt it was amazing. They felt that this painting technique was too realistic, which was completely beyond their understanding of painting.

And Erwin's eyes quickly fell on the three diaries, which were "Grisha's First Half of Life", recording his life in the Marley quarantine zone, how he became the leader of the restoration faction, how he experienced failure and exile, and the whole process of obtaining the power of the giant. It was a series of ups and downs and magnificent.

Since his sister was killed, the seeds of hatred have been deeply buried in Grisha's heart, and finally he was inherited by the Attack Titan, forcing him to move forward.

After reading the diary, everyone finally realized that the "victims" living in the high walls were the descendants of demons who deserved their punishment in the eyes of outsiders.

And their compatriots lived as inferior honorary Marleyans across the sea, which was also horrible.

They suddenly felt the malice from the world. They did nothing, but just being born as Eldians was already a sin, and they became the enemy of the world for no reason.

It was really aggrieved, really depressing, and really unspeakably unhappy. They were obviously hurt all the time, so why did they become bad guys? They couldn't accept this result, nor could they accept this inexplicable bandit logic.
