After about a month of recuperation, Shinji Ikari returned to school. Asuka had to be hospitalized for recuperation due to a severe overdraft. Kirishima's real name was fine, but because he expressed his feelings too clearly that day, I heard that he was coming today.
After going to school, she skipped club activities because she was too shy and couldn't adjust her mentality. As for "Makiha", she didn't join the literary club at all.
Therefore, there are only two people in the club classroom today: Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami.
The girl with blue hair and red eyes sat by the window and read quietly. This almost unchanged scene gave people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, Shinji Ikari thought while drinking the tea he poured.
To be honest, it is obvious that we have arrived at a world line that we have never seen before, but the surrounding environment looks almost the same as before.
This is mainly because the "Third Impact" occurred in a "closed space" and had minimal impact on the outside world, and there is no way to verify that "Eve" can no longer start the "Planet Life Reshaping Program".
At the same time, the halo-shaped Sixteenth Apostle only appeared in the outside world for a moment, leaving almost no image data. It was passed around as a weird story like a UFO for a while, and then the heat passed.
And the EVA mass-produced machines that replaced it were numbered in groups of twelve. Because their appearance was so similar to that of the Sixth Apostle—looking like fish with arms and legs—no one suspected it.
Ordinary people would just sigh, well, NERV defeated the apostle again.
Shinji Ikari didn't know how Dilian and NERV were arguing. The other party's point of view seemed to be:
The purpose of manufacturing those mass-produced EVAs was just to avoid putting eggs in one basket. It was a backup plan to deal with the possibility that NERV would be defeated by the Apostles. It had no intention of attacking NERV and replacing it.
In addition, they labeled the captured Kensuke Aida as a "super agent" who could control the mind and was trained in the Assemblage Garden, and accused him of sneaking into the military headquarters to plot evil.
Naturally, the NERV side will not admit it: it is simply ridiculous. The so-called evil plot is to control the EVA mass production machine to attack its own base camp, right? If you did not arrange an attack plan in advance and a channel that can quickly reach the third New Tokyo City, how could you be arrested?
Can an attack be successfully launched by affecting just a few people?
In terms of the overall negotiation situation, since the Earth Federation was indeed in the wrong and Yui Ikari was stirring up trouble internally, the NERV side was in a very dominant position. In the end, it seemed that a lot of contracts were signed at an advantage by the Earth Federation Military Headquarters. However, this was not the case.
What he can know as a driver.
As for the Ground Alliance military side, it seems that out of a desire to die rather than suffer, they detained Kensuke Aida and refused to allow him to leave. They also completed the transfer procedures. Needless to say, those people must have taken a fancy to him. "It's okay."
The ability to "disappear from others' sight" is prepared to be cultivated into an agent.
As for Suzuhara Touji, who lost one friend... he was actually the first one in the "Idiot Trio" to be single. During the time when Shinji Ikari was hospitalized and Kensuke Aida was detained, he somehow got into trouble with the squad leader.
Mu Guang got together and went to the rooftop to eat lunch together every day to show their affection.
If Shinji Ikari had to guess, the little girl Sakura Suzuhara definitely played a huge role in promoting this relationship.
I don’t know if there is anything to promote myself... Shinji Ikari glanced at Rei Ayanami by the window again.
Not only is it not promoted, it is even hindered.
Although he was alone with the girl he liked, he was not very excited. The main reason was that there was a third person.
Due to Ayanami Rei's special identity, it is almost impossible to get rid of this information-integrated thought body. Moreover, because it can talk, it cannot be treated as a kitten or puppy. The most troublesome thing is that Ayanami seems to trust it very much.
, sometimes if you find it interesting and can retell it directly, it will be very embarrassing.
"Um, Ayanami?" However, no matter what, he could not waste the rare time alone. Shinji Ikari thought hard and finally found the topic: "If you have kept your memory, shouldn't you have read all these books?
"
"Some are," Rei Ayanami replied, "Some will have new content."
"Huh?" Shinji Ikari expressed difficulty in understanding.
"Classic masterpieces basically remain unchanged. The ones that will change are modern works, such as this "Detective Conan"." Rei Ayanami showed the cover of the book in his hand: "Perhaps it is because of the time in its story.
It has never been pushed forward. Every time a 'triple conflict' occurs, there will be some new content."
"That's really amazing. Can its author also retain his memory?" Shinji Ikari asked.
"Not only can't it be done, but it's also forgetful." Ayanami Rei's tone showed a rare hint of dissatisfaction, and his red eyes revealed a bit of murderous intent: "Even if the character's facial makeup, tool person, and background are transformed because of the long length,
You can’t change the basic settings.”
"Compared to, for example?" Shinji Ikari swallowed.
"For example, the childhood sweethearts Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, who refused to let go even if the back of their hands were stabbed with a knife after falling off a cliff, were actually stabbed by passers-by who came out of nowhere. The most disgusting thing is
Isn't this just a tool to promote the relationship between the two, Hattori Heiji is actually really moved." Rei Ayanami tapped the ridge of the book with her fingers and glanced at Shinji Ikari: "This is the extra content of this reincarnation. I was originally there.
I’m thinking about throwing an apostle at the author’s house next time I reincarnate, but I can only give up now.”
Sending a razor blade can no longer express the anger of readers, can it? The unknown author, please take care of yourself.
By the way, she should...not be talking about me...
Do you think so?
If you object, you cannot use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty!
You are not that good either. If Asuka or Kirishima take the initiative to confess to you, can you reject them immediately?
That's impossible...
Ha, man.
It sounds like you are not the same!
Huh? Wait, now there is a new question. If there is an information-integrated thought body causing trouble on Ayanami's side, how should we deal with these messy split personalities on our side? Out of respect for Ayanami, I have to do it before formally confessing.
Find a psychiatrist and get rid of all these guys?
…
…
There's no point in pretending to be dead!
Shinji Ikari had no time to care about the chaos in his mind hall for the time being, because Rei Ayanami asked an extremely sharp and fatal question, and he had to change the topic if he didn't intend to answer it directly.
"Uh, throwing apostles at the author's house?" Shinji Ikari tried hard to change the subject: "Can things like apostles be controlled? Except for Nagisa Kaoru."
Ayanami Rei blinked and turned back the slightly dissatisfied expression he had just shown: "No."
"That is?" Shinji Ikari wiped his sweat in his heart. It was obvious that Ayanami saw his intention to change the subject, but he did not intend to delve into it for the time being.
"If you're well prepared, you can influence where they appear to some extent."
Rei Ayanami stood up, rummaged through the large bookcase on the side, pulled out a thick notebook with a black cover and handed it to Shinji Ikari.
"Uh... what is this?" Shinji Ikari took the book and tried to identify the cursive characters on it: "DEATH..."
"[Dead Sea Documents.]"
"!"
Shinji Ikari's hand shook and he almost threw it away.
According to NERV, this is a "prophetic book" that came at the same time as "Adam" and foretells the fate of mankind's destruction. But in fact, it was casually stuffed in a bookcase by "Eve", which doesn't seem to be the case.
important.
Is this something I can watch?
"You can see it, because it has already happened." Rei Ayanami, who had returned to the window, replied.
"..." Shinji Ikari looked up at her.
Did you say that since this is the first world line you enter, you can’t read minds?
"Because you have doubts written on your face."
Fine……
After all, the guy with the Information Integration Thought Body is here, so it’s easy to read expressions.
Shinji Ikari lowered his head and opened the notebook in his hand.
He originally expected to see some vague prophecies written in it, expressed in grammar and vocabulary that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, leaving everyone confused.
But in fact, the content in the notebook is very simple and easy to understand, and looks like a primary school student's journal:
【2015,
5/1-5/6 The Third Apostle (SACHIEL)
5/22-5/27 The Fourth Apostle (SHAMSHIEL)
6/12-6/17 The Fifth Apostle (RAMIEL)
6/26-7/1 The Sixth Apostle (GAGHIEL)
8/5 -8/11 The Seventh Apostle (ISRAFEL)
9/11-9/13 The Eighth Apostle (SANDALPHON)
9/25-9/30 Ninth Apostle (MATRIEL)
10/16-10/21 The Tenth Apostle (SAHAQUIEL)
11/11 The Eleventh Apostle (IREUL)
11/27-12/2 The Twelfth Apostle (LELIEL)
2016,
1/11 The Thirteenth Apostle (BARDIEL)
1/13 The Fourteenth Apostle (ZERUEL)
2/18 The Fifteenth Apostle (ARAEL)
3/24 The Sixteenth Apostle (ALMISAEL)
3/29 The Seventeenth Apostle (TABRIS)
4/1 completed by humans]
After reading the whole article, Shinji Ikari's first reaction was, does the apostle actually have a name?
But this is normal. After all, the apostles are enemies. NERV can only number them, instead of giving each apostle a name like Typhoon. And it is impossible for the apostles to shout "My name is so-and-so. NERV's rats are quick."
Come forward and die" or something like that.
Also...hiss...
After he finished complaining, Shinji Ikari looked at it carefully again and couldn't help but take a breath.
It would be fine to say that this is a record after the fact, but it is a "prophecy" in advance.
It clearly records which apostle will appear on which day, and how many days it will take to eliminate it.
Although he couldn't remember it clearly because so much time had passed, since it was contained in the "Dead Sea Document", it must be correct.
The whole thing is too simple, but it is not a problem for Rei Ayanami. She has the help of the "Information Integrated Thought Body", and in fact, she only needs to know a date.
On the premise of knowing something about the apostles, it is not impossible to make arrangements in advance at the corresponding date and place and lead the apostles to the author's home.
Of course, those were probably just her angry words. Based on my understanding of her, she probably wouldn't really do such a thing... right?
No, wait, this prophecy is not just terrifying. Shinji Ikari looked through the Dead Sea Document again.
This time, he paid special attention to the records of the "Sixth Apostle" and the "Eighth Apostle". You must know that they are not regular "attacks". One is an interception of the ground fleet halfway, and the other is NERV's discovery of apostle embryos.
The subsequent active attack, if even this can be accurately predicted...
Even though he has now escaped from the world line of continuous reincarnation, Shinji Ikari still feels a little cold sweat on his palms. When these items correspond to what happened in reality, what kind of mood does Rei Ayanami feel?
Perhaps, she was originally a girl who could express emotions normally, but after going through reincarnation again and again and finding that she could not escape her destiny no matter what, she finally became this calm and unruffled person about everything.
If the conversation continues on this topic, she might suddenly say: "Do you like me in the past or me now?"
If you didn't realize the trap hidden in it, you would definitely say "I like them all" casually.
But, this is a question.
What she looked like before, wasn't she the little Ayanami who went by the pseudonym Makiha!
Shinji Ikari doesn't know what the consequences of saying that will be, and he doesn't want to know, but as the first pioneer to reach this world line, he must strive to "clear the level in one life."
Of course, among so many world lines, she could not be the first one to have a crush on Rei Ayanami. There might even be someone brave enough to confess her love directly, but she was the only one who responded clearly. If there was a reason, there was no doubt that it was
Because he brought back Xiao Ayanami from the turbulence of time and space, so that she could reach this world line where "the world will still exist after the three collisions" without disappearing.
At present, I don't have much confidence that I can solve the unknown things such as life, equipment, whispers, etc., which may cause Ayanami to be reincarnated again, but there is only one chance for her to agree to become his girlfriend.
.
After all, if you want to reach this world line, the condition is to let the "Future Kirishima True Name" throw yourself into the space-time rift, and the probability of success in such an uncertain attempt must be touchingly low.
In the process of Ayanami's repeated attempts to enter this world line, the goodwill she has worked so hard to build up will definitely fall to the bottom, and there will be no possibility of raising it again...unless when this world line has to be interrupted, she will die.
Shanda insisted on letting Ayanami take him with him.
However, there is a more fatal problem here.
I am a guy with 40%, 30% and 20% criminal records. If I keep my memory, can I really maintain my current thoughts in endless reincarnations?
If you can't keep it and change your mind midway, wouldn't you be exposed instantly in front of Ayanami who can "read minds"?
This is more terrifying than slowly losing favor. Referring to her views on the relationship between Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuki, once "the self in this world line" dares to change her heart, no matter how many world lines there are in the future, she will never be the same again.
I have no emotional involvement.
In addition, Ayanami clearly said this at the time:
[Don’t get carried away when you see some of the truth about the world, wait until you successfully save the world.]
Although he can now lie and say that he has saved "the world destroyed by the third impact", that is not what a responsible man should do.
Therefore, I must not fail. I must defeat all those guys with weird names who want to destroy the world, so that this world can continue to exist.
