Chapter 10 Shadow 01

"Eh? Sir?" Allen asked with a stiff expression, pointing to Lu Zheng, whose body was dangling from the shelf and shaking constantly.How could this kind of person whose skills are inferior to recruits be an officer?Didn't you see that he couldn't even do the basics of hanging in the air and maintaining his body balance?

"Ah! Speaking of which, Carlo does have a military rank. He seems to be the same as the captain of the Hanji squad." Petra suddenly said, "But his only mission is to cooperate with Captain Levi. So even though I am a sub-captain, there are not many opportunities to exercise the authority of the sub-captain, and I almost forgot about it if the captain didn’t say anything.”

Lu Zheng: "..." Don't forget this kind of thing casually, hey!But he didn't expect that the original owner of this body actually had a military rank, and he thought that the so-called Levi's partner was just a soldier who helped Levi.

"Although this guy is the squad leader, in the eyes of me, a veteran, he is just like a recruit." Oluou said to Allen with a complacent expression, "So I have the qualifications to guide him, but—you Newcomers are different, you have to learn to respect the chief."

Allen: "Senior Oluou is Bicaro... Did the squad leader join the Survey Corps first?"

"No." Levi put down the water glass in his hand, and answered Allen's question instead of Oluou, who wanted to mislead others, "Carlo joined the Survey Corps three years ago, and Captain Erwin brought it back personally of."

Lu Zheng suddenly realized that the former owner of the body was the Survey Corps that Captain Erwin entered through the back door. No wonder he felt that Erwin should be a good backer when he saw Erwin for the first time.

"Speaking of which, the leader seems to have said that Carlo is from the Higanshina District, isn't that from the same place as Allen?" Genta said, touching his chin.

Hearing Genta's words, Allen's pupils tightened suddenly, the spoon in his hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Lu Zheng with a correct gaze.

Lu Zheng was forced to tremble by Alan's eyes glued to him, his balance was instantly broken, his body turned over suddenly, and his face hit the ground immediately.Just when everyone thought his face would hit the ground, and Petra couldn't help but close his eyes, he suddenly put his hands on the ground and stood upside down to stabilize his figure.Lu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, he thought that he would definitely be knocked down terribly, but he didn't want to resolve the crisis so easily.At that time, his mind was blank, but his body moved on its own as if consciously...

Is this... a conditioned reflex from the memory left by the original owner in this body?

"Are you... all right?" Seeing that Lu Zheng had lowered his head and hadn't moved for a long time, Alan knelt down and asked.

"Ah, it's okay." Lu Zheng kept his hands on the ground and looked up at Alan, "You just looked at me, did you want to ask me something?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm just surprised that you come from the same place as me." Allen shook his head and swallowed back what he wanted to ask.

Allen originally wanted to ask, since he is from the Higanshina District like him, did he also experience the catastrophe when the wall was broken five years ago like him.Because Levi and others deliberately concealed it, Alan didn't know that the person in front of him was judged to have amnesia. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that his question was redundant. Lu Zheng didn't look like he had faced a giant at all. Moreover, he was not active in the training of three-dimensional mobile devices. After joining the Survey Corps for so many years, he couldn't even do the basic suspension balance well. He guessed that Lu Zheng might just be a civilian in the Survey Corps.Although the common sense is that even civil servants will use three-dimensional mobile devices, the existence of special cases is not impossible. After all, Levi said that Lu Zheng was brought back by Captain Erwin himself.

Allen looked down at his bandage-wrapped hands, which were bitten by himself in the experiment of transforming into a giant yesterday.He knew the cruelty of the world, so he worked so hard, even though his hands were so painful that he almost lost consciousness, he still didn't give up. He was different from Lu Zheng, even though they came from the same area.

Allen clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and reached out to pick up the spoon that fell not far away...

The accident happened the moment Allen reached out his hand...

A violent hot wind raged around Allen, and Lu Zheng spun around in the air. Levi cut off the rope tied to his body with a knife, and then rolled to the ground.

When the hot wind dissipated, Lu Zheng saw a horrifying scene.Allen's entire arm has become huge, and half of his body is glued to that huge arm, which looks terrifying and weird.And that huge arm doesn't look like a creature should have. It doesn't have a surface layer of skin, it's just blood-red muscles intertwined with white bones.

Everyone in Levi's class kept a safe distance from Alan and scattered around him. Everyone held their knives nervously, and because of fear, they couldn't help exuding a cold killing intent towards Alan, which was completely gone. It was nice talking and laughing together before.Lu Zheng has no doubt that as long as Alan makes any changes, these people will kill him decisively.

"Alan! What do you want to do? Why did you suddenly become a giant?!" Petra asked sharply.

"I don't know, I just wanted to pick up the spoon, and suddenly..." Allen replied in a panic, trying to stick himself to the hand jj in the giant's arm, but the movement But it irritated everyone in Levi.

"Don't move! If you move around casually, we will really do it!" Oluou roared in a distorted voice.

"Calm down! There's no danger yet." Levi shouted at the few people who lost their minds in fear.

"Captain! He has already threatened us! We apply for an attack!" Petra retorted.

Just when Levi was arguing with the members of his class, Lu Zheng got up from the ground, passed Levi and the others, and stood not far from Alan.

"Carol, you're too close! He's very dangerous now!" Genta, who had always been calm, growled anxiously at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng ignored him, looked straight at Alan, and said after a long time: "Can't you see that his reason is clear?"

Allen suddenly stopped struggling and looked at Lu Zheng in astonishment.

Compared to Petra and the others who were flustered and nervous, Levi looked carefully, but Lu Zheng's expression was abnormally calm, and he couldn't see any waves in his black eyes.Allen suddenly felt that Lu Zheng in front of him became strange. Compared with the appearance of hanging on a shelf, practicing balance in the air like a rookie, and letting them tease with a depressed face, he felt like a completely different person.

"It is this guy's consciousness that manipulates the giant body. Since he is sober and has no intention of attacking, he is still far from the standard line of disposal! Calm down and take a good look at the current situation. Manslaughter is not what the elites of the investigation corps should do! "

Petra: "Karo...Squad Leader..."

The hostility of the four people who were about to attack at any time gradually calmed down.Levi glanced at the four members of his class, and then his eyes fell on Lu Zheng.

This is the influence of this person. When it comes to judging danger, as long as the soldiers who have contact with him will choose to believe his judgment first.This is the partner Erwin chose for him - Carlo.

"Captain Han Ji!" With a burst of panicked shouts, Han Ji's figure rushed towards this side, and then fell on Alan's giant arm amidst everyone's exclamation.

"Hey, Alan, can I touch it?" Han Ji asked Alan who was in a daze with excitement.

Lu Zheng: "..." Aren't you touching it already, why are you asking?

"Ah! It's so hot, I didn't expect the temperature of the giant's arm to be so high! Hey, Alan, aren't you hot?"

"Uh, it's okay..." Allen replied a little overwhelmed.

"Tell me about the situation at that time? How did it feel when you transformed?"

"I just wanted to pick up the spoon, and then my hand suddenly..."

"Hmm, it seems that the key to becoming a giant should be the idea of ​​self-mutilation and purposeful sex..."

Lu Zheng was looking at the picture of the harmonious interaction between the researcher and the researched in front of him speechlessly. Oluou quietly leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Carlo... Captain, have you recovered your memory?"

"Ah? What?" Lu Zheng turned his head in a daze for a while, then curled his lips and said, "I've said it several times, I don't have amnesia!"

"Oh! God!" Oluou covered his face with one hand, "You haven't recovered at all, and we are so stupid to listen to you..."

Petra and the others also had distorted faces. They trusted Captain Carlo, who had no amnesia, not this unreliable person after amnesia.

"Inexplicable!" Lu Zheng, who couldn't understand the mood of Petra and others at all, rolled his eyes at them, turned his head and unexpectedly met Levi's eyes, only to find that he was looking at him with a thoughtful look.

Lu Zheng felt that everyone in Levi's class today was baffled, and must have been frightened by Alan's sudden giant arm.

……

At night, Levi's class gathered in the castle hall after dinner as usual.But tonight is not only for studying the principle of Allen's giantization, but also for the members of Levi's class to apologize for not trusting Allen and even wanting to execute him on the spot.All four of Petra left blood-stained tooth marks on their hands as punishment for not trusting their companions until the last moment.

"Actually, you don't need to care. In that situation, normal people will panic." Alan looked down at his hand that had returned to a normal human arm, and understood.

The four of Petra looked at Lu Zheng in unison.Levi didn't panic because of his strength, but Lu Zheng and the others couldn't understand it.

Lu Zheng: "Uh, what do you see me doing?"

Petra: "At that time...were you not afraid at all?"

At that time... Of course Lu Zheng was afraid. Compared to seeing the wreckage of the slain giant two days ago, it was more frightening to have all his cognitions smashed by the impact. It was a sense of fear that surfaced from the bottom of his heart.The living giant, the danger that is close at hand, and... the sense of his own powerlessness - there is nothing that he is not afraid of.

"Of course I'm afraid! I'm just an ordinary person..."

"But at that time you clearly..." Calm as if unable to see the danger in front of you.

"Actually, I'm the type who becomes calmer when I'm in crisis!" Although this is true, this time it can be said that he was extremely calm, even he himself was surprised.Could it be that this is also the memory of this body?

After the party was over, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.Lu Zheng was also a little tired from today's events. He had always had trouble falling asleep, but he just rolled around on the bed twice before falling asleep with the quilt in his arms.

Next to the huge desk next to this room is the only window in this room, a black figure fell silently outside the window, the blade of the cold light stretched into the gap between the windows, flipping the lock on the window buckle.Not long after, with a slight clicking sound, the window was gently opened by the black shadow outside the window...
