Chapter 4 Choices and Beliefs
Grisha didn't react much when he learned about Mikasa's adoption. He just promised Alan that he would take him to see the other party after a while.
Every day he was thinking about what happened twelve years ago and what he remembered after his recovery.
For this reason, writing notes all night has become one of his habits.
The cold winter on the island is much more difficult than imagined. Just breathing out a breath can form a white mist.
After Mikasa awakened her combat instinct, she naturally became dependent on Lin Yi.
In addition to the clothes Lin Yi bought for her, she also felt grateful. Therefore, in this winter, she always wanted to spy on what Lin Yi did.
This made Lin Yi, who had never liked to take care of children, bothered for nearly four months.
According to the agreement, when early spring came and the plain white snow melted, Grisha visited Lin Yi for the first time.
After saying goodbye to the gendarmerie friend, Grisha knocked on the wooden door.
Mikasa thought it was Lin Yi who had come back, so she jumped out of the chair and ran to the door to open the door.
"What are you?"
The blood vessels hidden under the skin and the exact position of the heart, Mikasa's eyes kept wandering in these parts.
She had a silver needle for embroidered handkerchief in her hand. When the other party was unprepared, she had a chance to run to the kitchen to look for new weapons after hurting the man in front of her.
All of these came to my mind in an instant, and it was the first reaction made by the prey after detecting the movement of the prey.
"Hello, I'm Grisha, your father's doctor. Remember we should have met before. Dr. Lin is not at home?"
"call……"
Mikasa relaxed her vigilance slightly, and she said coldly: "Brother Lin is out to work, and he usually comes back at 3:30 in the afternoon."
Grisha glanced at his wife behind him, "We can wait for him to come back."
"Then come in." Mikasa let go and closed the door after Grisha and his family entered the house.
“There are black tea and coffee at home.”
Grisha stopped him and said, "Just boiled water, don't be so troublesome."
Seeing Mikasa become so polite and sensible, Carla smiled and joked, "Honey, just say that according to Dr. Lin's personality, there will be no problem."
Grisha's face looked a little embarrassed, and he explained, "It's Allen's coming."
"Are you okay?" Alan stared at Mikasa.
Mikasa did not answer. She walked to the kitchen and started working. She usually did housework and other things. She was also very talented in tea ceremony. Unfortunately, Grisha couldn't understand it.
Then there is the usual Q&A session.
Carra asked Mikasa about her current living conditions and some questions about Lin Yi.
On her side, she answered this enthusiastic aunt very seriously.
She said nothing about Lin Yi, but just simply dealt with the past.
"It's really rare that guests come to your house."
Lin Yi closed the door, but he was still not used to wearing a hat, so his hair was stuck together with a little wetness.
This time I went out outside the wall, the air in the forest was already wet, so there was nothing I could do about it.
The heat emitted from the fireplace dispelled the cold, which made Lin Yi feel a little more comfortable.
"Grisha, sorry, I didn't greet you well last time."
Grisha was a little frightened. It was not the first time he felt Lin Yi's mystery. He still maintained his youthful appearance after more than ten years.
Time seems to be unable to leave any trace on his face, all of this is only reflected in his slightly vicissitudes of sight.
"Doctor Lin, you are joking again. I feel a pity about Mikasa. If you can adopt this child, I should thank me."
His life is about to come to an end, and no matter from that aspect, he should indeed thank the other party.
The two sat on the sofa (who appeared in the noble family) and chatted for a while before Grisha really began to get into the topic.
He said to his wife: "Karla, please take the kids out for a while."
"Yes." Carla, who worked in a tavern, understood the deep meaning in her husband's eyes behind her lenses.
"Mikasa."
Mikasa nodded, "I get it."
There is a swing in the yard, near the gate, and a small cabin with a stove.
After everyone left, Grisha took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Lin, you should be from Malai, right?"
Lin Yi did not refute or respond, but just asked, "Why do you say so?"
Grisha's eyes began to float, and he recalled his childhood and past experiences.
"My father once told me that a young man with long black hair had helped him once. And occasionally I felt that someone was looking at me.
That feeling became extremely strong one day, and finally, in my memory, I found the scene of you standing on the high wall of the executioner of Malai."
Grisha took off his glasses, and Lin Yi's appearance began to be blurred, but it was also highly similar to the picture in his memory.
"The power of giants is indeed still something that I can't figure out." Lin Yi pondered for a moment and replied calmly:
"That's right, I've been watching you since you were very young."
"Sure enough..." Grisha smiled bitterly, "Then you should know that this is my last year of inheriting the power of the giant."
Tasks, responsibilities, hatred, beliefs, family and other factors are all urging him to complete the task as soon as possible.
He could not forget Dana's last words.
But is it okay now? Wait for yourself to die, the attacking giant will awaken in some Eldia again.
Will the other party carry their memories of this life and live in chaos? Or will they raise the banner of resistance to fate and try every means to break free from the cage of fate.
He is very uneasy now!
"How to choose is entirely up to you. If you want to get the answer here, or let someone else help you make your choice..."
Lin Yi picked up the teacup and looked directly at Grisha, "Grisha, I have been observing you for more than thirty years, and I even know what kind of 'person' you are more than you.
You are the Avenger, and hatred will help you make your choices, even if that is wrong.”
Grisha looked a little dejected, which made a man who was almost forty years old show this expression. It can only be said that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.
"You are right. I am the Avenger. I will complete the task well. You should be the demon who completed the transaction with the Eldias. I want to complete a transaction with you now."
"Give me the power of the ancestor giant in exchange for the end? Sorry, I'm not that demon, I'm just an ordinary person who loves traveling and collecting and researching."
Grisha murmured to himself, "Ordinary people cannot resist the erosion of time!"
"Just just think I am an ordinary person. As for transactions, it is not impossible to do at all. It's just that the content of the transaction needs to be changed."
Grisha's eyes shone again, and he raised his head, "please say."
