Chapter 156: Your conscience will definitely hurt

~9 min read 1,649 words

Han Ji Zoe stepped forward and explained the previous situation in detail to Survey Corps leader Erwin Smith.

"So, Eren Yeager of the Training Corps can turn into a Titan?"

"That's right, but he has an aggressive tendency after turning into a Titan and will attack humans, but compared to humans, he is more interested in Titans."

Erwin looked at Eren, who was already unconscious, and looked thoughtful.

Keywords such as 'humans turning into Titans' and 'attacking humans' stimulated Nile Dawk, the leader of the Military Police Brigade, on the side.

"What you just said is true?"

Nile Dawk stared at Han Ji Zoe with a gloomy face.

"Ah, it's true."

Han Ji Zoe answered Nile Dawk very perfunctorily.

"This person must be handled by our Military Police Brigade."

After saying this, Nile Dawk stepped forward, wanting to grab Eren from Su Xiao's hands.

Su Xiao moved his hand to the side, and Nile Dawk grabbed nothing.

"What do you mean, prisoner? Come here! Take him down!"

Nile Dawk gave a loud shout, and the surrounding Military Police Brigade members swarmed up, with gun barrels aimed at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao scanned the circle. Even with Nile Dawk, he could kill all these people in one minute. These people had no smell of blood on them, representing that they hadn't fought for a long time. A mob.

"Bai Ye, be calm."

Erwin signaled to Hange Zoe at his side with his eyes. Hange Zoe ran to Su Xiao's side in a few steps and grabbed Su Xiao's arm with one hand, looking somewhat nervous. It seemed Su Xiao's predecessor had once erupted in violence in front of her.

"You already killed three members of the Military Police Brigade. If you kill again, the team leader won't be able to protect you."

Han Ji Zoe whispered in Su Xiao's ear.

Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. He had a rough idea of the identity arranged for him by the Reincarnation Paradise.

A former member of the Survey Corps, sentenced to death for killing three members of the Military Police Brigade. Before the death penalty, Wall Luo Sai was broken, and he was thrown onto the battlefield in the form of making up for his crimes.

Figuring out his identity, Su Xiao was more confident in his subsequent plans. The identity of a former Survey Corps member was quite good.

However, noticing the hand Han Ji Zoe was holding tightly, Su Xiao felt that the predecessor of the identity arranged for him by the Reincarnation Paradise shouldn't have a very good temper, so he couldn't deviate too much.

"Erwin, what do you mean? Are you trying to shield this prisoner?"

"No, I want to restore him as a member of the Survey Corps."

"What! Are you provoking the Military Police Brigade?"

Nile Dawk was furious.

"According to yesterday's battle report, Bai Ye almost blocked the hole in the city wall alone. According to the law, anyone who makes a huge contribution to humanity, even if their background or acquired behavior has faults, has a chance to make up for their crimes.

According to Bai Ye's performance yesterday, he protected the safety of many civilians, and you should know better what the three members of the Military Police Brigade killed by Bai Ye did. The victim's husband has been trying to sue for grievances with the Commander-in-Chief, but has been blocked because of 'various reasons'."

Erwin's expression was indifferent, and he was calm in everything he did.

Nile Dawk's expression changed one after another. He knew better than anyone what his three subordinates did, but for the sake of the Military Police Brigade's face, he absolutely couldn't admit that matter. Nile Dawk saw the miserable appearance of the female victim, but he was the one who sent people to destroy the corpse.

Su Xiao's predecessor killed three members of the Military Police Brigade. According to normal circumstances, he should be executed directly and would never have the chance to go to prison.

Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. The identity arranged for him by the Reincarnation Paradise was even more interesting. 【

"Tch, let's drop this matter for now. I won't say anything more about you restoring this guy's status, but Eren Yeager must be handed over to our Military Police Regiment for processing."

Nile Dok chose to take a step back.

The sound of gas jets from the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' reached them; Mikasa and Armin had arrived.

"Commander, two members of the Training Corps want to board the wall."

Nile Dok's subordinate came to report the situation to him.

"Training Corps? Let them leave; this isn't a place for them."

Nile Dok's intention was to drive Mikasa and Armin away.

"Commander, those two are Eren Yeager's fellow villagers; the three of them trained together in the Training Corps."

Su Xiao spoke up at this moment. Erwin nodded, signaling for Su Xiao to stand in the Survey Corps' ranks, and patted Su Xiao on the shoulder, whispering, "You've been wronged. Even if the wall isn't breached, he will regain his freedom in two days at most."

"Nile, those two are Eren Yeager's fellow trainees; they should know Eren Yeager quite well."

Nile Dok hesitated after hearing Erwin's words.

"Fine, let them up. Since Eren Yeager can turn into a Titan, the two of them are also suspects."

Mikasa and Armin were brought up onto the wall.

Upon seeing the Survey Corps and the Military Police Regiment on the wall, the two stood honestly to the side. Both knew that if they dared to act recklessly here, it would only harm Eren. They had to endure and watch how the situation developed.

"Continuing our previous discussion, should Eren Yeager be handed over to your Military Police Regiment for processing, or to our Survey Corps?"

"Of course, he should be handed over to our Military Police Regiment. Your Survey Corps is responsible for the area outside the walls, and Eren Yeager is a member of the Training Corps, so from any angle, he should be processed by us."

Nile Dok's words were not without reason, and within the walls, the Military Police Regiment's influence was much greater than that of the Survey Corps.

The former was a local power, while the latter focused all its efforts on investigating outside the walls, hoping to reclaim land for humanity.

"Goodness, I could hear you arguing from far away."

A strong old man with white hair and beard walked over from a distance, followed by several guards.

"Commander-in-Chief Darius."

"Commander-in-Chief Darius."

Whether from the Survey Corps or the Military Police Regiment, everyone saluted upon seeing the old man, one hand clenched into a fist over their chest, the other placed behind their back.

Seeing this old man, an imperceptible disappointment appeared in Nile Dok's eyes; his advantage was gone.

The old man was named Darius Zackly, the supreme commander of all military branches within the walls. He was a reasonable man who cared for the people, inwardly detested the current royal family, and knew some of the truths within the walls, yet he was helpless to change them.

"Tell me the gist of the matter."

After Darius Zackly spoke, a soldier brought over a chair. The Survey Corps and the Military Police Regiment stood in two opposing rows in front.

Darius Zackly appeared thoughtful after learning the full story.

"That soldier is named Bai Ye, right? I've reviewed your case. Put Eren Yeager in the middle. From here on, this is a temporary court to judge which military branch Eren Yeager belongs to for processing."

Darius Zackly's tone was not harsh, but very authoritative.

"Commander-in-Chief, I object."

Erwin raised his hand to speak.

Darius Zackly looked at Erwin, signaling him to continue.

"If the intelligence is correct, Eren Yeager could turn into a Titan at any moment after regaining consciousness, so I object to letting Eren Yeager be more than three meters away from Bai Ye. Bai Ye is fully capable of subduing Eren Yeager, even if Eren Yeager transforms into a Titan."

Darius Zackly nodded; Erwin had considered everything comprehensively.

"Very well, then Bai Ye will stand in the middle as well. If Eren Yeager shows any abnormality, execute him immediately. I now grant you this authority."

Su Xiao dragged Eren and stood between the two rows of people, facing Darius Zackly.

Su Xiao threw Eren to the ground and stood behind him with his blade. He now held Eren's life in his hands; if Eren made any unusual move, he could kill him openly and legitimately.

His gaze turned to Mikasa and Armin on the side.

Armin's eyes were full of pleading, his hands clasped together, looking very pitiful. Mikasa turned her head away and stopped looking at Su Xiao; at this moment, showing hatred toward Su Xiao was the most foolish course of action.

The situation was unexpectedly smooth; the appearance of Darius Zackly was undoubtedly good news.

But Su Xiao had a doubt in his heart: where did that guy Entu go?

In a private house within Wall Luo Sai, Entu climbed onto the bed with great effort, his body covered in blood, though there were no obvious injuries.

"Bai Ye, if you had even a shred of conscience, you'd bring some fruit and come visit me. That blockhead Eren's Titan transformation speed was just too damn fast."

After speaking, Entu coughed up blood, but green light surged in his hand as he healed himself.

The plan wasn't without its deviations. Earlier, when Entu was carrying the Titan that had swallowed Eren, they hadn't gone far before Eren transformed, and Entu was hit quite hard.

There are only three chapters today. My neck hurts so much I can't stand it. The weather has turned cold here recently, and this neck of mine feels like it's being pricked by needles. Cervical spondylosis is no joke.
