The light of the oil lamp was swallowed up by the dark passage, and Shinji Ikari could only see the flickering light on Dulan's waist, struggling in the darkness like a firefly. Suddenly the young man seemed to understand the loneliness of Dulan's life in the end of the world.
The sewer cannot lead to the bottom floor. It can only allow the two people to stop at the abandoned elevator entrance. Climb down from the elevator passage and you will reach a half-collapsed corridor. Carefully walk through the corridor and reach the end of the light.
, a breeze brings a comfortable feeling to the exposed skin.
Shinji Ikari was shocked. They were only about 40 meters down, and there was still a long way to go. The scenery in front of them was beautiful, and the edge of the pothole reflected the blue sky like a mirror. They
Now I am like a person walking on the blue sky.
Iron plates are inlaid on the cliff of the mirror, leading to the bottom as far as the eye can see.
"Let's go." Dulan extinguished the oil lamp and continued to lead the way.
Because it was too high, and the gaps between the iron plates were so unobstructed that you could see the underground clouds and mist through the middle, Shinji Ikari was afraid of heights.
Dulan didn't rush him but didn't help him. He just stopped and waited for the boy every time he walked a certain distance.
Shinji Ikari was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I'm so useless."
"It's okay. When faced with fear, there is no reason to defeat it immediately, otherwise it would not be called fear." Duran seemed to suddenly transform into a philosopher. In this theater version, whoever speaks directly
Anyone who doesn't have the talent is too embarrassed to go out and tell others that they have seen EVA.
I don't know why, but Shinji Ikari thinks what Duran said makes sense.
He continued walking. He didn’t know how long it took. Ikari was out of breath, and finally he could keep his feet on the ground again. He actually completed this difficult task without anyone’s help. Looking back, he was still
There is some small sense of accomplishment.
There is nothing special underground. They are all facilities with abandoned neurons. There are bicycles, bicycles and bicycles that were used in the past.
"This place is quite big. We can ride faster." Duran picked two bikes that could still be ridden. These bikes have solid tires, so there is no need to worry about running out of air. "Can you ride a bicycle?"
"Will do."
"That's good."
It was Dulan who led the way, but the speed of the two of them was not very fast. Because the bicycle chain had not been oiled for a long time, there was a slight creaking sound when riding, which echoed in the underground space.
"That..." Shinji Ikari seemed to have something to say.
"If you have anything to say, tell me." Duran said.
"Yes, I want to ask Mr. Duran why you came down here?" After coming down, Shinji Ikari remembered that it was completely unreasonable for Duran to spend so much time coming down. It was both dangerous and useless.
Duran replied, "Because I want to look at the sky from different places. When I know that I am alone in the world, I like to look at the sky. Do you know that the sky over the sea is wider and bluer, and the sky over the mountains is broader and bluer?"
The sky becomes very dreamy when there is fog. The sky in the city is really empty, there is nothing. I have never seen the sky underground, so I came down."
"Mr. Du, what do you think the sky here is like?" Shinji Ikari looked up, waiting for Dulan's answer. He looked at the sky, which was very blue and beautiful.
But the answer Duran gave was beyond Shinji Ikari's expectation, "The sky here is full of lies."
"Sir...why?" Shinji Ikari didn't know why Duran said that.
"Because this sky is just a small piece of sky shown to you by the huge hole. Outside this range, you don't know if there are white clouds passing by or raindrops falling. What you see is always just the hole.
For you, dishonest sky."
Shinji Ikari understood somewhat, it was similar to the story of the frog in the well. But Mr. Dulan is really a learned man. At his age, he still cannot fully understand what Dulan said, so he can only be ignorant of it.
"We're here!" Duran stopped his bicycle and put his feet on the ground, "This is where I found you."
Shinji Ikari suddenly moved quickly, and in a few steps he came to the cockpit that was alone in a building on the roadside. He didn't even think about how he could have lived for fourteen years without the A.T position.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast the young man moves, he is destined to be unable to find Ling Boli inside.
"Ling Boli——" the boy shouted, but found nothing but a Walkman, "Ling Boli——"
The voice echoed, but there was no response.
"I said, there is no one else. There is no third person in this world. My condolences." Du Lan's words were more like daggers, which broke Shinji Ikari's heart. Thinking that he failed to save Ling Boli,
He felt that it was a mistake for him to live, and his whole body turned into a gloomy gray.
"Young man? Young man?" Dulan knew that Shinji Ikari was a bit autistic and gloomy, but he didn't expect that he would change so quickly.
Put play first, and Dulan also has his own way of educating troubled boys. Seeing how Shinji Ikari’s eyes shone when he went underground, we know that he lacks self-identity and is unusually concerned about other people’s opinions. At the same time, he is still a human being.
A passive person who does not know how to self-reflect and improve can only be pushed step by step. Probably only Ling Boli will let him take the initiative to pursue it.
If Shinji Ikari's character is not changed, he will eventually be treated as a prop.
Dulan's actions finally attracted Shinji Ikari. Dulan picked out a few parts from a pile of rubble, and after tinkering with them, they turned them into a usable prop. Now he has made a hand-cranked one.
Flashlight, "Young man, are you feeling better from your sadness?"
"Mr. Du, you are so awesome." Although Shinji Ikari is in a low mood now, he still pretends to be a good boy.
"It's just something to kill time." As he said that, Duran put the prop on the ground and stepped on it several times, destroying the newly completed work.
"..." Shinji Ikari was startled, "Sir?"
"Shinji-kun, someone said that the value of the existence of all things is that one day all things will return to nothingness. From birth to destruction, a beginning and an end can be said to be a complete life. Do you think that is right?" Duran was not prepared either.
This Shinji Ikari can understand that in fact, it is unreasonable to reason with such a problem boy, and the most practical method is to induce him.
Shinji Ikari said nothing because he knew that Duran had not finished speaking.
Sure enough, Dulan continued, "Young man, it's time to tell you the truth."
Shinji Ikari opened his eyes wide and waited for Duran to continue.
"Actually, the cause of the end of the world is you. It was you who caused the third impact to destroy the entire world and kill everyone." Duran said very slowly, but every word pushed Shinji Ikari into the deep end.
Bottomless cliff.
First attack Shinji Ikari, then use some rhetoric, and finally induce him. This should have a good effect. It would be better to make another twist, and then completely destroy Shinji Ikari.
There was another period of silence, and Shinji Ikari fell down on the ruins, murmuring Ling Boli's name in a low voice.
"Many people have died, are you just thinking about your Ling Boli?" Dulan said calmly, "Human beings have completed a cycle from birth to destruction. I don't blame you, I just think you should know
It’s just the truth. It’s just as expected and you can’t accept it. Do you blame me?”
"..." He was completely demoralized and turned a deaf ear to Dulan's words.
Therefore, such a protagonist is annoying and lifeless. Dulan has encountered unprecedented challenges, but difficulty is interesting. Only by educating a protagonist like the whole world who seems to owe him can he show Duran's ability.
So Duran pulled Shinji Ikari and walked deeper. There were intact neuron facilities there, and it seemed that some methods would be needed.
Along the way, Duran felt like he was pulling a dead pig. It seemed that Shinji Ikari was completely blaming himself.
It's too early to blame yourself now, Dulan has arranged a good show.
At this time, everything was captured by the camera, but only Shinji Ikari appeared on the screen, with no trace of Duran at all.
They sent people to look for them again, but they could not find Shinji Ikari at all. Although Shinji Ikari and others appeared on the screen, there was no intersection, as if they were completely in two dimensions.
"Gendo?"
Ikari Yuantang put on a pair of sci-fi-looking strip glasses, like cos laser eyes, but didn't speak. Because of what happened, he couldn't understand his emotions now.
His son suddenly appeared here, and seemed to be affected by an invisible force. "Send Nagisa Kaoru over." He hoped that the power of the apostle could find his son, and it was also an indispensable key for mankind to complete the plan.
