The Collection of The End - Chapter 2029

—2016.2.14—

Underground fortress, special ICU ward.

Drop, drop, drop.

Shinji Ikari lifted his heavy eyelids, looked at the familiar ceiling and Ayanami Rei who was reading a book beside the bed, closed it again, and muttered to himself:

“Really, the [Angel Falls] plan or something, he has gone completely crazy in order to resurrect his wife.”

He was not worried at all that Lingbo Ling didn’t understand, or that he still had a lot of doubts that she needed to solve for him.

“Oh, so you ran to [that world line]?” Ling Ling put down the book and looked at the sick number on the bed: “How does it feel to be surrounded by countless ‘Sister Ling wave’?”

“How did you get it?” Although it didn’t feel right, Shinji Ikari still asked this question.

“…” Ling Bo Ling opened her eyes slightly and looked up and down Shinji Ikari, as if she saw some rare animal.

“What, what… Is it okay to ask?” Ikari Shinji subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt up to block it, but found that his arm was almost useless.

“You rescued ‘all’ Sister Ling wave? Didn’t one of ‘I’ kill?” Ling Ling asked.

“Yeah? They are so cute…” Ikari Shinji temporarily changed his words in the middle of his words: “Just like you.”

“Then how did you defeat the [Weaving of Life]?” Ling Ling asked.

“What is that?” Ikari Shinji wondered.

“…” Lingbo Ling lowered her gaze slightly: “Don’t you know?”

“So what is that? Did I miss any boss that I didn’t fight?” Ikari Shinji kept asking.

“No,” Ayanami shook her head: “Perhaps [they] don’t care about destroying a ‘false world’.”

Really, even though Ayanami’s taciturn personality is cute, it’s maddening when she hides something and doesn’t say anything.

Already arrogant enough to dare to molest face to face, right?

Unit 1 is already tired, let’s change Unit 0 to kill him.

I don’t want to die, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be at this level.

Well, drowned people can swim.

“You asked just now, how did I get it,” Ayanami changed the subject herself: “If you accidentally kill any ‘Sister Ayanami’, you will find that she was ‘absorbed’ by me, and we will change Be the same person and nothing will disappear.”

What Namekians…

“It’s not a Namekian,” Ling Ling continued: “It should have been called the ‘Ayanami Completion Plan’. Commander Ikari, no, Director Ikari wanted to use this plan to upgrade my LV5 superpowers to LV6, and I went to the end. Guessed what he was thinking about ‘The Weave of Life’, but it was too late.”

So I really haven’t come across this kind of weaving thing.

“Then what did you encounter?” Ling Ling asked.

“It’s the ‘angel’ attracted by the ‘Angel Fall’ plan,” Shinji Ikari was too lazy to complain that Ayanami Rei claimed to be not a mind-reader: “Its shape and ability are similar to the Fourteenth Apostle, but more elegant and flexible. ”

“Is that so…” Ling Hao seemed to be thinking about something: “The plan didn’t work out at the time, and I don’t know its effect.”

“The theory of that plan is…” Ikari Shinji thought for a while: “There are countless ‘angels’ observing our world, and they will choose the right person to come to them and give them ‘superpowers’, and if they don’t wait for ‘He’ If they come down on their own initiative, but use some method to ‘pull them down’, they can obtain the corresponding abilities. Chief Ikari believes that his wife is one of these angels, and he made this plan to resurrect her. plan.”

“And the host body is a certain ‘Sister Lingbo’,” Lingbo Ling replied, “Otherwise you won’t care.”

“No…that doesn’t really matter. The main problem is that after the ‘angel’ was ‘pulled down’, everyone’s personalities and memories were messed up,” Shinji Ikari rolled his eyes: “It was later confirmed that although the human will is very It is fragile, but it can only be ‘squeezed out’ and cannot be ‘replaced’. After the descending angel squeezed out the original consciousness of the host, the squeezed sister Ayanami squeezed others along the way, and the dominoes fell all the way, and finally came to me. It just stopped, so I had to clean up the mess my father made.”

“I see.” Ayanami nodded.

“That…” Ikari Shinji stole a glance at her: “Is there anything I can know now? For example, the spider of life, or the world line or something…”

“If the world you just experienced was not destroyed by the ‘Weaving of Life’, it should have been reset by the ‘Third Shock’ launched by ‘I’,” Ayanami said in an irrelevant tone: “So far , all worldlines have this kind of ending, and this time, although there are some interesting changes, the ending probably won’t make any difference.”

“what…”

Although there are still some key information missing, the general framework can already be understood.

A long time ago, after the third shock was launched by Ayanami, who did not know what state he was in, either actively or passively, he found that it was not “destroying all life and re-evolving from microorganisms” as documented in the literature, but “retrospecting time.” ” or “Change World Line”.

If nothing else, she can only go back or reset to the time when the “second shock” occurred at the earliest, which is fifteen years ago. “After reaching the goal, the “Weaving of Life” and other unknown beings who could be called “them” alongside him appeared, completely destroying the world she thought was safe.

So, the cycle starts again.

It is impossible to test what happened next, and she probably won’t say it, but there is no doubt that the phrase “it is better for me to do it myself than to be destroyed by others” when building the sandcastle is the concept that emerged after countless reincarnations. “If you can’t defeat the enemy this time and continue to maintain the world, launch a third shock and do it again.”

Therefore, in different worlds, the same people have always existed, just because she knew them.

In the process of countless reincarnations, she may have been confused, sad, angry, self-sacrificing, and even created a world line that is completely inconsistent with the current world view for various possibilities. no result.

In the end, she was so familiar with everything that she might encounter that she became the person she is now who doesn’t care about everything.

No, wait, after she was thrown into the crack of time and space by Kirishima’s real name and brought Xiao Ayanami back, she did say “I see hope to end the reincarnation”. That’s right, so, this world line, the current self, is different of!

A beautiful angel is calling you ahead!

Brave teenagers, go and create miracles!

“Ayanami, no, zero,” Ikari Shinji tried to get up from the hospital bed: “I’m to you—”

puff.

Rei Ayanami raised his hand and stuffed something into his open mouth.

“Don’t get carried away when you see the truth of the world,” she stood up and walked outside the ward: “If you have something to say, wait until you successfully save the world.”

Well? Did she not directly say “you are a good person”?

Ikari Shinji looked at Ling Ling Ling’s back, and subconsciously chewed what was in his mouth: “…Chocolate?”

He looked up at the date attached to the clock…

Great!

——

After a while.

“Really, why don’t you faint for two days?”

Wearing a school uniform, Asuka stood in front of Shinji Ikari’s hospital bed with her hips crossed, looking unhappy:

“It must be intentional to choose this day to wake up, right?”

“Yeah,” Ikari Shinji bared his teeth at her: “If you don’t give chocolate, you’ll be tricky.”

“You’re so dizzy that you can’t tell the difference between Valentine’s Day and Halloween, right?” Asuka rolled his eyes at him and took out a box of chocolates from her handbag: “Here.”

“Friendship chocolate or locked chocolate?” Ikari Shinji took the chocolate and looked at it, knowingly asked the consultant.

“Ha?! Are you an idiot?” Asuka tilted her head: “I thought you were pitiful that no one gave you chocolate, so I bought a box at the convenience store in the hospital for you, of course it was ‘friendship’! Don’t know Wrong!”

Hmm… Did you notice that Ayanami didn’t bring chocolate? And is there a conflict between “deliberately” and “casually”?

“Then I accept it gratefully,” Ikari Shinji put the box on the bedside table: “I will taste it when the doctor says I can eat it.”

“Hmm,” Asuka raised her arms, “you can throw it away if you can’t make it in time.”

Hmm… It’s obvious that I have a crush on myself, I just don’t know how to express it, but it seemed a little…

“Your-”

After a moment of silence, the two opened and closed at the same time.

“You first.” Ikari Shinji said.

“Thank you for the fight against the fourteenth apostle,” Asuka’s eyes dodged: “I thought about it afterwards, and it doesn’t seem very good to always call you a nickname, so I decided to call you ‘Shinji-kun’ like Sister Misato in the future… Is it alright? ?”

Does this kind of thing need approval?

If she replies “No” now, will she jump up and beat people in a rage?

“Of course there is no problem,” Ikari Shinji replied, “And what I just wanted to say is that although you are a talented pilot and the second plane is also very strong, it should not be a problem to deal with an apostle alone, but everything has an accident. , we are not sure what special abilities the apostles that will appear in the future have, so it is better to fight in groups or fight in groups.”

“Hum!” Asuka instantly turned into a proud face: “Yes, no matter what enemy you encounter, the genius driver can solve it today, if you encounter any troubles in the future, just call me, I will definitely The one who rescued you from the sea of ​​misery, oh hehehe~”

Hmm… Now there’s no need to remind her that the EVA’s sortie is decided by the command.

“Shinji-senpai? I heard you’re awake…” Kirishima’s real name, wearing a hospital gown and half of his face bandaged, came in from the door in a wheelchair: “Ah, did I come at the wrong time?”

“No, you came at the right time,” Asuka walked over and pushed Kirishima’s wheelchair to Shinji Ikari’s bed: “I still have training tasks, so I’ll go first~”

I always felt that it was a bit strange that Ikari Shinji looked at Asuka’s back, and anyone with eyes could see the attitude of Kirishima’s real name towards him, but she seemed to be completely unaware or careless.

Combined with what she said before, “I will kill you if you dare to bully your real name”…

Shouldn’t she, she didn’t notice her own thoughts at all, thinking that she was assisting her best friend?

Say good girls have more delicate minds than boys?

“That, Shinji-senpai, Happy Valentine’s Day,” Kirishima’s real name took out a box of chocolates similar to Asuka: “I originally wanted to make it myself, but the doctor refused to let me out of the hospital, and there are no conditions here, so I can only go to the convenience store to pick it up. A box, please don’t dislike it.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t dislike it,” Shinji Ikari took the chocolate and looked at it, then glanced at the box of Asuka on the bedside table: “Look, Asuka’s friendship chocolate is also like this.”

Even the prices seem to be the same.

“Ah…that…” Kirishima’s real name also saw the box of chocolates, and his expression became a little flustered: “That’s because there are no better ones in the convenience store, but it’s not friendship chocolate, but lock chocolate. .”

Hey, I won the favor of two beautiful girls at a young age. Although they all fought back with their lives, I can still be a little proud.

Oh, and the wicked Asashi.

But the problem is that what I want to pursue is actually the third beautiful girl, but it seems that it is quite difficult to achieve my goal at present. If nothing else, just fighting against ordinary apostles will be broken and **** at every turn. Ten days and a half months, let alone anything above them that can easily destroy the world.

Do you want to consult with Ayanami when things cannot be done, keep your memories in the new world line, and find a way with her?

If it fails once, it will be ten times, if it fails ten times, it will be a hundred times, a thousand times.

Although the will of ordinary people may be overwhelmed by this accumulated memory and experience, if he can’t bear this kind of pressure, he is not qualified to stand with her at all.

Although you said it well, thinking of other girls in front of a girl is a complete scumbag behavior.

The first chance will give you a thumbs up, and then backhand you to death.

I don’t want to die yet, so you’d better reject Kirishima right away.

It’s useless, it’s too late, this time, Samsara Kirishima has already given up on him.

“Well…Thank you,” Ikari Shinji tapped on his forehead to stop his chaotic thoughts from wandering: “I’ll give you a gift in return in a month, as long as there’s no trouble with the apostle that day.”

“There was no trouble that day~” Kirishima’s real name rolled his eyes: “The next apostle will attack on February 18th.”

“…Really?” Ikari Shinji looked at her in surprise, but didn’t doubt it.

In another world line, he has confirmed that the space-time guidance system is really strong, and the accuracy rate is quite high when judging the occurrence time of events that will not be affected by external factors.

So I have four days to recover…

“[Woo-woo-]”

“[Emergency evacuation alert! The fifteenth apostle appears! All doctors and patients are evacuated immediately! Repeat—]”

Hmm… Ikari Shinji looked up at the hospital loudspeaker and then looked down at the duel plate that appeared in his hand.

forget it.
