The Collection of The End - Chapter 2021

—2015.12.2—

NERV headquarters, emergency ward.

“Well…” Shinji Ikari slowly opened his eyes and looked at the built-in chandelier on the ceiling: “Unfamiliar ceiling…”

The last memory is that the card “New Universe” is about to burst the Twelfth Apostle’s “Dirac Sea”, and he and the first machine are about to return to the real world. At that time, he was thinking about how to pose a more handsome pose. , as a result, thinking is directly interrupted here.

What is it…

“You’re awake.” Ayanami’s voice came from the side.

“Ah,” Ikari Shinji tilted his head to look at the blue-haired girl who was sitting beside his bed reading a book: “Your next sentence won’t be ‘You have become a girl’ again, right?”

“No,” Ling Ling’s eyes kept on the book in her hand: “You have been temporarily banned from driving the first plane.”

“Why?” Ikari Shinji tried to move his body and found that there was nothing serious, so he sat up: “Is it because I threw Asuka out and fell into the shadow of the apostle? There is no way, with Asuka’s Strength, you can’t get out if you go in.”

“No,” Ayanami finally looked away from the book and looked at Ikari Shinji: “Because you were in close contact with the apostle, and it lasted for more than twelve hours.”

“Huh?” Ikari Shinji pointed to himself: “I have been in contact with the apostles for too long? Is this reason serious?”

In that case, not to mention the classmates in the Garden of Gathering, the father who is the guardian of Rei Ayanami will have to be arrested first.

“The apostle didn’t cause any damage this time,” Ayanami took out a tablet from the side, adjusted it twice, and handed it to Shinji Ikari: “After it engulfed the first machine, it stayed in place and didn’t move until it was removed by you. Break out from the inside, and you come out like ‘hatching’ or ‘out of the shell’.”

“Pfft, why does the first machine take on the attitude of a thinker!” Ikari Shinji took the tablet and looked at it, and he was shocked: “I fainted before I figured out what pose to use.”

Could it be that because he was thinking, the first machine took the posture of thinking on his own?

“Because the apostle appeared directly in the city this time, and did not launch an attack, it is considered that he wanted to control or assimilate the EVA body, and you and the first machine who have been with it for more than 12 hours are at risk of being contaminated,” Ayanami Zero After a pause: “It’s mainly because the Earth Alliance thinks so. Under pressure, Commander Ikari temporarily sealed the No. 1 aircraft.”

Oh, those guys who are completely incapable of hitting the apostles can actually make Dad bow his head.

“Understandably, if the weapon you made suddenly became self-aware, it would be really scary for humans,” Shinji Ikari shrugged: “What does NERV say?”

“The first opportunity was thoroughly inspected and cleaned to ensure that there were no apostles left,” Ayanami said. “As for you, there will be no detention or confinement, but there will be no ‘class’ schedule for a month.”

“Great!”

“However, in order to cope with the shortage of pilots, the qualified candidates of the third machine will be taken to the headquarters for adaptive training in advance.” Ayanami Rei added.

“Who is it? Suzuhara Toji or Aida Kensuke?”

“Kirishima’s real name.”

“Oh Ha?”

—2015.12.3—

EVA training ground.

“[LCL power up!]”

“【Second simulated contact passed!】”

“[The third simulated contact begins!]”

“【…successfully passed!】”

“[The synchronization rate between the driver and the No. 3 simulator is 69%!]”

Hmm… Usually I can’t see it in the plug, so is there so much data in the command center?

Ikari Shinji stood beside Katsuragi Misato and looked at the big screen, next to his ears were the successive orders and reports of the headquarters staff.

Most of them don’t understand, except for the eye-catching 69%, what is Malu Duke really strong, the selected driver should be born to drive EVA – if she is not a spy, it will be more perfect.

No, there is actually no evidence to prove that she is a spy now. Whose spy’s online will be the future self?

Combined with the action of the terrestrial alliance to pressure NERV to temporarily seal the first machine, their purpose is probably to promote the real name of Kirishima.

…No, they may not even know what they are doing, and really think that Unit 1 may be contaminated and needs to be sealed and inspected.

And this situation should undoubtedly be the masterpiece of “Future Kirishima True Name”.

Being able to travel through time can indeed do whatever you want.

However, since Ayanami didn’t stop it, and didn’t even watch the simulation start-up experiment, it proves that this matter is basically irrelevant. The only difference is that the location of the literary club’s activities has been changed from the literary club in the assembly garden to the NERV lounge. That’s it.

“It’s hard work, Kirishima, take a rest,” Misato Katsuragi said into the microphone, “This time it’s just a simulation, don’t be too nervous, but it’s not much different from the official ride.”

“[Yes…]” Kirishima’s real name faintly came from the speaker.

“Really, I have never seen Miss Katsuragi being so gentle to us.” Asuka, who was also watching, complained in a low voice.

Isn’t that of course? Being gentle to Ayanami is meaningless. You are making people crooked all day long. As for yourself – “You are a boy! Be strong!” Tsk tsk.

After a while, he left the mock warehouse, and Kirishima’s real name in a pilot suit came to the command room.

Unlike Ayanami who is almost pure white, Asuka is completely red and her own black and white combination, Kirishima’s driving suit is based on bright blue, and the armor and joints are complemented by white and gold, which looks quite bright and playful – this is definitely It must have been designed by her in the future.

hum—

At this moment, the familiar sound of “Inka” sounded, and the “picture” of Kirishima’s real name was “intercepted” in front of him.

[Dark Magician Girl, Attack Power: 2000, Defense Power: 1700]

What does Atum mean by “surprise”?

“that…”

When Ikari Shinji finished studying the card and put it away, he realized that he seemed to be staring at Kirishima’s real name for more than ten seconds.

“Please don’t stare at me, Shinji-san…” Kirishima’s real name folded her arms, looking a little overwhelmed.

“What? What? Is this one better, or the maid outfit?” Asuka poked him with her elbow.

“This set.” Ikari Shinji replied subconsciously, after all, maid outfits don’t give new cards.

“…” Kirishima’s real name lowered his head, looking even more twisted.

“puff.”

Damn, fooled! Are you okay with the fire? And Miss Miri! Can you stop giggling there?

“Okay, okay, since you both know each other, I won’t introduce more,” Katsuragi Miri said with frowning eyes, “Asuka, bring your real name to familiarize yourself with the headquarters, Shinji-kun, Commander Ikari is looking for you for something, go to his Come to the office.”

——

“Ha…that’s really…”

About two hours later, Ikari Shinji walked out of the huge office of Ikari Gendo, as if he wanted to spit out a few words, looked around and found no one, and then closed his mouth.

The previous conversation can be described as weird.

“What did you see in the Dirac Sea?”

“I didn’t see anything.”

“Fail.”

“Saw colorful black smoke.”

“pass through.”

“…?”

“Did the apostles try to speak to you?”

“no.”

“Fail.”

“have.”

“Fail.”

“…I don’t know if it’s an apostle, but I saw myself when I was a child. He accused me of driving an EVA to please others and had no self at all.”

“pass through.”

“…”

“How did you escape from the Dirac Sea?”

“It’s time to come out on your own.”

“Fail.”

“I defeated an apostle avatar inside.”

“Fail.”

“I worked hard to expand the AT force field and burst the apostles.”

“Fail.”

“I want to see my relatives and friends outside. I struggled to tear the void and tore a crack to escape. I don’t know why the apostle exploded.”

“pass through.”

At the back, Shinji Ikari had already started to make up his own mind, while the old man kept asking questions about the encounter of the Twelfth Apostles with his hands folded to cover his mouth, and answered Shinji Ikari. Give a pass or fail rating.

Finally, after all dozens of questions were passed, he changed his mind and said, “You can go.”

Undoubtedly, those questions were all that the Earth Alliance wanted to know, and Dad was going to fool them, but if the answers were different from his own, it would be a little troublesome, so they had a conversation that was comparable to a password connection.

You can even say that you are colluding with confessions. Others may not know what you want to do at all, okay?

“Shinji~Shinji~”

Shinji Ikari was walking back in a murmur in his heart, when he suddenly saw Kirishima Masaaki in a driver’s suit waving to him at the corner.

“…” He hesitated for a moment, then walked over: “What are you doing here?”

“Asuka and I are separated, and there is no one to ask for directions, can you ask Shinji to take me back to the dormitory?” Kirishima’s real name blinked.

“No, I’m asking, don’t you have anything serious to do when you come back from the ‘future’?” Ikari Shinji interrupted.

“…Ah?” “Kirishima’s real name” was a little dazed.

“‘The current Kirishima’s real name’ will not directly call me ‘Shinji’,” Ikari Shinji touched his chin: “Is our relationship already so good in the future?”

“Of course, we are related to [prohibited matters].” Kirishima’s real name replied.

“What is the relationship that requires coding?” Ikari Shinji complained.

“Huh?” Kirishima’s real name widened his eyes: “We just went through [Prohibited Matters], and then [Prohibited Matters] together, and then became [Prohibited Matters].”

Whatever she was trying to say was replaced by the phrase “prohibited.”

“…How old are you now?” Ikari Shinji asked.

“17 years old!” Kirishima’s real name replied immediately.

“Oh… is it okay to lie? Now you can count it back?” Ikari Shinji said.

“18, 19, 20, 21…why would I do such a thing!” Kirishima’s real name, Kan Mao.

It seems that she is not very smart in the future, thank you for your hard work, the future me.

“Then let’s get down to business.” Ikari Shinji turned the topic back to the right path.

“Well… that’s it,” Kirishima’s real name cleared his throat: “Today is the first time that ‘I’ have conducted a simulation experiment, and I have obtained a high synchronization rate of 69%.”

That’s right, Ikari Shinji nodded.

“Actually, the ‘current me’ has now awakened the ability of time, and is going to show you a demonstration in a while,” Kirishima’s real name said: “In the end, something went wrong and you were thrown into the gap between time and space.”

Sounds like something you can do…

“Because the ‘current me’ is completely unfamiliar with abilities, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for you to return on your own, but you still managed to return,” Kirishima’s true name proudly raised his chest: “That’s right, it is because you appear in the The ‘future me’ here has ‘time-marked’ you!”

“So I have to pretend that I don’t know, and I was thrown into the gap between time and space by the ‘now you’?” Ikari Shinji pointed out the problem with her words.

“Yes…” Kirishima’s true name lowered his voice: “I have to tell the ‘current me’ after returning, and remember to come back and mark you in the future…”

Your time travel is really troublesome, much more complicated than Ayanami’s.

…Um? Does Ayanami have time-related abilities?

“Shinji~” Kirishima’s real name blinked and tried to be cute.

“Okay, okay, I agree,” Ikari Shinji sighed: “Although this is a dead end for monitoring, if you delay time, you will be suspected by others.”

“It’ll be all right soon!” Kirishima’s real name grabbed Shinji Ikari’s left hand and began to draw a circle on the back of his hand.

call…

The “Dueling Plate” quietly emerged, and the position of Kirishima Maname’s circle was just above the deck.

However, she couldn’t touch or see the duel plate, and her hand went straight through it, so it shouldn’t have any effect… that’s weird.

New Card [Miracle Contact]

Although I can’t see the effect, but the picture of a person going to the new universe on the card is not good, right?

“Huh? Huh?” What’s worse, Kirishima’s real name, who was doing “space-time marking”, made a puzzled voice: “I’m just doing time-space marking, I didn’t activate time transfer?”

woohoo-

The next moment, the colorful vortex that appeared when the [New Universe] was launched suddenly appeared around Ikari Shinji and Kirishima Maname, and directly involved them both.

“I’m sorry—!” Kirishima’s real name disappeared before the colorful vortex, and he apologized loudly in a voice that seemed to cry.

No, I guess it has nothing to do with you, it should be the sequelae of the previous trip to Dirac’s Sea.

So the question is, after trying to find a way to come back, how can I make “the current real name of Kirishima” return to “self” to mark the time and space in the future?

—2004.3.30—

NERV headquarters.

Um? Only time shift, no transformation space at all?

Ikari Shinji, who was a little dizzy, got up from the floor and looked at the unfamiliar and familiar surroundings around him.

It’s the NERV headquarters, yes, but what about the smell of fresh paint that’s just been renovated?

What age is it now? If Ayanami was born it would be easy to solve, if not…

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in front.

“What’s the matter? Zero?”

“【I’m lost.】”

Oh? Birth was born, although the voice sounds very immature, but what age does the incarnation of the apostle care.

Ikari Shinji distinguished the direction and walked towards the podium where the voice came from.

“Is that so, then go back with Auntie?”

“[I can go back by myself, don’t worry about it, old woman.]”

No… Was Ayanami so skinny as a child? And who is the unlucky aunt on the opposite side?

“You can’t call someone else an old woman, Director Ikari will be angry.”

“[When referring to you, Director Ikari said that you are, ‘The old woman is long-winded’, ‘The old woman is useless’.]”

“what-!”

Is Dad still the boss? What year is it now…

!

Just as he walked around the corner, Ikari Shinji saw an unfamiliar aunt with burgundy hair jumping in front of Rei Ayanami, who looked only four or five years old, and stretched out her hand to grab her neck.

Although I don’t know what the information-integrated missing body is playing, this is an opportunity to gain favorability!

“Let go of that girl!”

Ikari Shinji shouted, rushed over and knocked off the red-haired aunt, and hugged Ayanami in his arms to protect him.

“Ah… ah… woo woo woo-!” The unfamiliar aunt was sluggish for a few seconds and began to cry.

“Am I handsome?” Ikari Shinji didn’t have time to talk to her, trying to take credit for Xiao Lingbo in his arms.

“[Let go of me, you perverted lo*ic*n.]” Xiao Lingbo slapped him in the face.

Dad, there is absolutely something wrong with your way of education!
