Chapter 182: The Relationship is So Complex It Gives a Headache

Night, inside Wall Maria.

In a church in a small town.

The church was about a few dozen square meters. The seats inside were trampled and used as firewood, and a bonfire was lit in the church.

Several people sat around the fire, namely Su Xiao, Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt.

In the corner of the church, Eren and Ymir leaned weakly against the wall. Eren had already regained his sanity, but the injuries on his body left him with no strength to turn into a Titan, and he couldn't even get up. At this moment, Eren was glaring at the four with hatred.

Eren had also tried to curse before, but under Su Xiao's 'careful persuasion', Eren chose to shut up. If he didn't shut up, there was a danger of being kicked to death.

Compared to Eren, Ymir was much calmer, leaning against the wall somewhat decadently.

These two were not the worst off; the most miserable was Historia, this silly, sweet girl.

Historia had no Titan power in her body and couldn't be controlled by the method of severing limbs. If her arms were cut off, this silly, sweet girl would become a disabled person forever. So Historia was thrown into the corner, tied up tightly.

"About how long will it take to recover physical strength?"

Su Xiao looked at Annie and Reiner. Although these two took turns to rush, the Female Titan Annie transformed into didn't have strong endurance, and the main force of the journey was still Reiner.

"Five hours at most. We can set off in the middle of the night. There is no Titan harassment at night, and the marching speed is faster."

Su Xiao was very satisfied with the time given by Reiner. Now they had to leave the inside of the walls as soon as possible. If those thousand-plus Survey Corps members caught up, the four of them might not be their opponents. Su Xiao couldn't block the human-sea tactics of over a thousand people.

Su Xiao turned the roasted wild boar on the fire. This was caught on the way before.

There was no pollution in the world inside the walls, and Titans wouldn't prey on wild animals. The ecological environment here was very good.

The wild boar meat was roasted until it sizzled with oil, the outer skin became charred and crispy, and the grease dripped into the fire, emitting bursts of burnt fragrance.

This kind of pure natural wild boar meat only needed some salt; other spices would cover the flavor of the meat itself. Only artificially raised pigs needed spices to cover the fishy smell of the meat.

Annie secretly swallowed her saliva. She had been struggling inside the walls for several years. Now seeing meat, expectation flashed in those beautiful blue eyes.

"Bai Ye, when will it be ready? Starving to death."

Reiner waited somewhat anxiously and didn't hide his expectation. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time either.

"Can eat."

Su Xiao's palm turned, and an exquisite dagger appeared.

Distributing the crispy-on-the-outside-and-tender-on-the-inside wild boar meat to the three, Su Xiao used the dagger to shave off a piece of crispy skin and ate it.

The wild boar meat was crispy when entering the mouth, and the meat fragrance filled the mouth after chewing.

Annie was assigned a piece of the most tender tenderloin. Although she ate elegantly, the speed of eliminating food was not slow.

"Hey! You guys are too cruel, right? Not giving food is one thing, but you don't have to eat so deliciously in front of me."

Ymir sneered, turned her head, and stopped looking at the four. The hunger in her abdomen was torturing her, and Eren was doing the same as Ymir.

Except for drinking water to ensure survival, the two couldn't get any food. Helping the enemy recover physical strength was an extremely brain-dead thing.

Reiner, who was enjoying dinner, stopped, hesitated for a while, and then got up and walked toward Ymir.

"Did your conscience suddenly strike? I just said, although you don't look very good, you wouldn't..."

Ymir stopped halfway through her sentence because Reiner didn't pay attention to her at all, but helped up the silly, sweet girl Historia and tore off the white cloth on Historia's mouth.

"Historia, eat some."

Reiner tore off a piece of meat and handed it to Historia's mouth. Historia hesitated for two seconds before eating it.

Seeing this scene, Reiner smiled, a very gentle smile.

Not long after, Historia ate a large piece of meat, and her gaze toward Reiner was still somewhat fearful.

"Tha... thank you."

Historia thanked him in a very small voice.

"Speaking of which, from the appearance of Titans yesterday until now, we have been rushing all the time. So sleepy, but fortunately, the hole in the wall was plugged. I should also have a good rest. After doing so much, the treatment after joining the Survey Corps must be good. Promotion or something should be no problem."

Reiner sat cross-legged in front of Historia and began to mutter to himself.

Eren, Ymir, Historia, including Annie, were all stunned. None of them understood what Reiner was talking about.

Plugging the wall? Joining the Survey Corps? Promotion?

The wall was destroyed by Reiner and the others. Things had reached this point, and he actually still wanted to join the Survey Corps?

Bertholdt sat by the fire, hugging his legs, and looked at Reiner somewhat helplessly.

"Reiner!"

Su Xiao shouted. Reiner's mental state was very wrong now.

"What's wrong, Bai Ye? By the way."

Reiner seemed to have suddenly thought of something, slapped his thighs with both hands, and continued:

"You are a member of the Survey Corps. After I join the Survey Corps, you must take care of me more. As a soldier, my performance has been excellent, yeah, very excellent."

Eren and Ymir felt a chill down their spines, and Historia carefully moved backward.

"I say~ Mr. Reiner, what nonsense are you talking about."

Ymir looked at Reiner in a daze.

"Hmm? What do you mean? Isn't it normal for me to be promoted?"

Reiner chuckled, his expression relaxed, as if he were still a member of the Training Corps, just chatting with colleagues now.

"Reiner!"

Su Xiao's tone was already somewhat unkind.

"What's wrong, Bai Ye? Why did you stand up? Tomorrow..."

"You are not a soldier at all. You are a warrior! A Ma Lai warrior!"

Su Xiao's words gave Reiner a great stimulus.

Reiner gradually recalled everything inside the walls in his mind. His pupils began to shrink, and his shoulders trembled constantly.

A few seconds later, Reiner regained his calm.

"So... that's how it is."

Reiner raised his trembling hands and pressed them on his face.

"Ha~? What do you mean?"

Eren's gaze was still full of hatred, but the look in his eyes toward Reiner was somewhat different from before.

"I think I understand what's going on."

Ymir looked at Reiner with a firm expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, his long-term life inside the walls has completely integrated him into the Training Corps. He was once a warrior dedicated to destroying the walls, but because he pretended to be a soldier for a long time, he can no longer distinguish whether he is a soldier or a warrior. No, it could also be that he couldn't bear the guilt in his heart, so he projected another self in his heart: one is Reiner as a soldier, whose responsibility is to protect the wall, and the other is Reiner as a warrior, dedicated to destroying the wall. And this contradictory thought caused his spirit to begin to split, and he tampered with his own memories. This kind of talking to himself shouldn't be the first time. One can see it from 'Bertholdt's' speechless expression. Amazing, to be able to do this to such an extent, both..."

The more Ymir talked, the more energetic she became, but she didn't notice the gradually twisting expression under Reiner's hands.

"Shut your mouth."

Reiner's voice was terrifyingly low.

Ymir immediately shut up after seeing Reiner's constantly trembling pupils.

"Sorry, I got too carried away."

Ymir was very sensible. If she dared to continue talking, Reiner might tear her apart.

But one could see from the sneer on Ymir's face that her apology was insincere.

"Interesting, if I return to Ma Lai..."

Ymir looked at Reiner with interest, the smirk on her face having a unique charm.

"Shut up, or I'll cut your tongue."

Su Xiao's voice was not loud, and he looked sideways at Ymir. Ymir immediately lowered her head and shut up, and the smirk on her face also disappeared. She knew in her heart that this man was fundamentally different from Reiner. Although this man's face was calm, he was a hundred times more dangerous than Reiner.

Su Xiao looked at Reiner, whose shoulders were constantly trembling. This guy's mental state was becoming more and more unstable.

The relationships of the squad members were very complex now.

'Bertholdt' had admiration for 'Annie'.

'Reiner' had admiration for 'Historia'.

'Ymir' also had admiration for 'Historia'~.

Reiner was a mental patient, and mental patients were generally not easy to mess with.

Bertholdt lacked opinions, commonly known as a soft eggplant.

Annie was strong on the outside but fragile on the inside, which could be seen from her tears in front of Su Xiao before.

Historia was silly and sweet; this was easy to handle, just tie her up.

Ymir was sharp-tongued + belly-black. If she dared to talk nonsense again, Su Xiao wouldn't mind cutting her tongue.

Eren, the blockhead in the team, was the easiest to handle; if he didn't listen, just beat him.

Su Xiao suddenly had a headache. The relationships of these people were no longer as simple as a love triangle.

They must leave the range of Wall Maria as soon as possible, otherwise, these teenagers and girls with different personalities might not know what problems would arise. If he killed two in a fit of anger, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, Su Xiao must go to Eren's basement; he might get considerable benefits there.

Su Xiao tossed the 'confiscated' key in his hand, looking forward to it in his heart.

Asking for monthly tickets ha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. ===== CHAPTER 183 =====

Su Xiao suddenly had a bit of a headache; the relationships between these people were no longer as simple as a love triangle.

He had to leave the area of Wall Maria as soon as possible, otherwise, these teenagers and young girls with their distinct personalities might cause some trouble. If he were to kill two of them in a fit of anger, it would be a nuisance.

Moreover, Su Xiao definitely had to go to the basement of Eren's house; he could very likely obtain significant benefits there.

Su Xiao tossed the "confiscated" key in his hand, unable to help but feel expectant.
