Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 508: Angel of Foundation Arrives (Original)
Inside the unknown C Station, Gu Qianli held a high-level meeting and told many of the current high-level executives of C Station...

They’re getting into comics.

"…Technology department, developing a comic reading software, and personnel department, preparing to recruit relevant practitioners."

Gu Qianli made the decision swiftly and decisively and said.

Many senior executives did not oppose it, but were quite supportive.

After all, as an ACG-based website, C Station now has animations, self-made dramas, two-dimensional peripherals, etc. How could it be without comics?

However, they never thought that Station C would be like Manjie, a platform for comic creation and serialization, which is equivalent to creating comics.

What they are actually thinking about now is that C Station should develop a software to become a porter of comics.

Buy the copyrights of those popular comics and transfer them to the software for update.

At the same time, they didn’t know that Gu Qianli’s move was actually for Lin Qingshan.

However, Gu Qianli actually didn't intend to have such ambitious goals from the beginning. He just wanted to train cartoonists to serialize new works, just like the comic industry.

The comic software of Station C was destined to be a comic porter from the beginning.

However, they will slowly, slowly grow and develop like the comics industry, and then begin to train their own cartoonists and serialize exclusive comic works.

But until then, they'll keep a low profile.

This is because...

Lin Qingshan's "The Tao of Strange Immortals" still needs to be serialized in Manjie. After he finishes serializing "The Tao of Strange Immortals" in Manjie, he will go directly to C Station's own comics department.

besides……

After the meeting, Lin Qingshan sat in Gu Qianli's office and dialed the phone.

"Hello, Chief Editor Yang?"

He chuckled and said, "I also know your situation. I wonder if you are interested in the next step..."

……

For ordinary comic fans and ACG enthusiasts, they certainly have no way of knowing about Lin Qingshan and Benya Rothschild, or even about these things in the comics industry, and they don't need to care much.

All they care about is...

"EVA" should be coming to an end soon.

With the exposure of a lot of behind-the-scenes truths in the previous episode 23, and the number of episodes being 23, it proves that the finale will be coming soon.

After all, a half-year series, such as Lin Qingshan’s previous "Fate Zero", only has 25 episodes in total.

In other words, normally speaking, "EVA" should be coming to an end in two episodes.

However, some people have put forward different opinions, that is, "EVA" actually has an episode in the middle that can be regarded as a summary, episode 14.

Generally speaking, few people do this in the summary.

This is an animation production habit from the last era, because there was no Internet at that time and there was no way to replay and review the animation.

With a six-month series that airs one episode a week, it is easy for the audience to forget what the previous part was about after a dozen episodes.

Therefore, we use the summary as a way to give the audience a review of the previous events.

There is no such method now, and if it is done, it will only make the audience dissatisfied and complain.

However, there is a summary episode in the middle of "EVA", but that episode is not entirely a summary. The first half is a review of the previous events, while the second half gives some plots that are different from the protagonist's perspective.

But even so, some viewers still think that this is just a summary episode.

Plus, there are still a lot of mysteries in "EVA" that have not been revealed. How can all the stories be told in two episodes?
So it is definitely because of the influence of the omnibus that "EVA" will be completed in 26 episodes instead of the regular 25 episodes of a half-year series!

All this is definitely the conspiracy of the old thief Qingshan!
He is definitely going to do something big and play a prank on us!

However, other viewers said, who knows if this is also part of the old thief Qingshan’s plan.

Their random guessing behavior was also due to being misled by the old thief Qingshan. In fact, the story ended in episode 25, which was a big blow to those who thought that episode 26 was the finale!

Then both sides insisted on their own opinions, leaving some passers-by confused.

"Ah, this? Is this the 25th or 26th episode finale?"

"Oh my god! I can't tell the difference! I really can't tell the difference!"

"Old Thief Qingshan: Hahaha, you've all been fooled!"

"Boss Hongzhong plays well!"

"Damn it! Are you guys from the Zuwang Dao again? Damn Zuwang Dao! Don't try to trick me!"

"Great! I'm gradually understanding everything!"

……

The audiences are going crazy playing with the memes online. One can only say that this crazy state is very consistent with the mental state of contemporary young people.

Amidst this heated discussion, the 24th episode of "EVA" was updated.

Lin Shengjie once again hid under the quilt with his mobile phone, put on headphones, and started watching "EVA".

There is no need to shake your hands, and OP doesn’t have any either.

Although the OP theme song is very nice, Lin Shengjie still directly set the default function of Station C - automatically skipping the theme song.

However, lightning struck at the opening.

Asuka's past memories reappear, and she happily wants to share her joy with her mother.

But when she opened the door that day, what she saw was her mother's lifeless body, which had been hanged.

"Ah, this...Asuka is so miserable..."

When Lin Shengjie saw this scene, he felt very sympathetic towards Asuka, a little girl who witnessed her mother's suicide.

From the previous plot, we can also learn that Asuka's father had an affair with the psychologist before Asuka's mother died.

This makes people feel even more sorry for Asuka.

This also seems to explain why Asuka is so strong in everything, because... in her opinion, only if she is "useful" and "excellent" can she be noticed by others.

Therefore, she cannot be mediocre and cannot be willing to be an ordinary person.

The scene switches to Misato's home, where Shinji Ikari and Asuka seem to be arguing.

"Stop talking nonsense, you idiot Shinji!"

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?"

"Mr. Kaji is no longer here!"

"Liar..."

……

Asuka, looking particularly messy and decadent, appeared in the picture again.

She now looks like an abandoned doll, covered in dust and dirt, making people feel heartbroken when seeing her.

His mother committed suicide, his father found a new lover, and his beloved guardian was also killed...

If you really think about this kind of thing, it makes you feel extremely sad.

and also……

Because of her last battle with the Uterus Angel, she was no longer able to pilot Unit 2.

So Asuka had a complete mental breakdown afterwards, and it was because...

"The synchronization rate is 0..."

Asuka was lying naked in a bathtub in the ruins of an abandoned house, her cheeks shriveled.

She raised her head feebly, looking at the blazing sun on the broken ceiling above her head, and said, "Having lost the qualification to be the second qualified person, I have... no reason to stay here. No one will look at me like this anymore..."

"Dad is like this, Mom is like this... Everyone is like this..."

"I have no reason to live anymore..."

It can be clearly seen here that Asuka's spirit has completely collapsed.

Because... her synchronization rate with EVA Unit 0 dropped to , and she was completely unable to pilot Unit , which meant she lost her qualifications.

Then someone came to her. It turned out to be someone from NERV headquarters.

It turned out that Asuka ran away from home and disappeared completely. She disappeared for seven days, so she appeared here and her face became so haggard.

"The second qualified person has been found."

After the commander at NERV headquarters answered the phone, he immediately said to Misato.

"is it?"

However, Misato was a little skeptical and said, "She was missing for seven days before she was found by the intelligence department. Did they do it on purpose?"

Although Asuka is an EVA pilot, most of the training she received was on how to drive the EVA and fight in combat. She does not know how to conduct counter-reconnaissance or have professional equipment to evade searches by NERV's intelligence department.

Under such circumstances, it still took the Intelligence Department seven days to find her.

It really makes people wonder if there is something fishy going on here.

And not only this point makes people suspicious, the most important thing is...

"By the way, the fifth qualified candidate to replace Asuka will arrive today..."

Misato thought to herself at this moment, "This script is too perfect."

On the other hand, Shinji Ikari was at Misato's house, constantly thinking about what Ritsuko said that day, and began to wonder what kind of relationship existed between Ayanami Rei and her mother Ikari Yui.

And what role did his father Gendō Ikari play in it?

While Shinji Ikari was thinking about Gendō Ikari, at the same time, Gendō Ikari was questioning Ritsuko why she destroyed the puppet system.

"It's not the puppet system I destroyed."

However, Ritsuko said, "It was Rei that I destroyed."

"……Why?"

Ikari Gendō did not insist this time and asked.

"Because even if I'm hugged by you, I don't feel happy anymore."

Ritsuko said resolutely, "You can do whatever you want with my body! Just like back then!"

From then on, there was almost no doubt about the relationship between Gendo Ikari and Ritsuko, it was already a confirmed fact.

One can't help but complain, what virtue and ability does Ikari Gendo have to allow Akako and Ritsuko, mother and daughter, to fall for him.

The sound of Ritsuko crying to her mother Akako at the end showed that the relationship between Ritsuko and Ikari Gendo had completely broken down.

On Shinji Ikari's side, he came to Unit 02 because of Asuka's disappearance, and thought that he no longer had any friends around him.

He came alone to the lake, which was jokingly called the "Apostle Lake-Building Project" by the audience, and couldn't help feeling confused and wondering what to do.

But at dusk, when the sun was setting and the cicadas were chirping by the lake, he heard someone humming an unknown ballad.

He turned around and found that a boy of the same age as him was sitting on the rocks by the lake.

As the melody of the song became more and more obvious, Lin Shengjie finally knew what song the boy was humming.

It’s… “Ode to Joy”!
A famous religious song that is about to be ruined by the old thief Qingshan!
Ever since the gun demon appeared in "Chainsaw Man" and Asuka suffered mental pollution, "Ode to Joy" has been magically used as the background music.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan's audience can no longer look directly at the song "Ode to Joy".

It's the kind of thing where... as soon as I hear this song, I can't help but want to laugh.

“Songs are really good things.”

After humming the song, the boy suddenly said to Shinji Ikari, "Songs can nourish the soul. Songs are the pinnacle of the culture created by Lilin. Don't you think so?"

"Ikari Shinji."

Then he finally turned and looked at Shinji Ikari.

This... turned out to be...

The boy who appeared on the moon before seemed to be from the apostle camp.

But he actually appeared in front of Shinji Ikari!

Lin Shengjie suddenly became a little nervous. Considering that this person could appear on the moon without relying on any space equipment, he must be an alien or an apostle.

Then with his body that can withstand vacuum pressure, wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with Shinji Ikari who is now defenseless and not driving Unit-01?

So Lin Shengjie and some viewers couldn't help but worry about Shinji Ikari.

They didn't even notice the word "LIilin" that the boy just said.

"You know my name?"

Shinji Ikari looked at the boy in confusion and asked.

"Everyone knows this, even though it's a bit presumptuous."

The boy replied, "But I think you'd better understand your position."

"That's it..."

Shinji Ikari asked curiously, "Um, you are..."

"My name is Kaoru... Kaoru Nagisa!"

The boy introduced himself without hesitation, "Like you, I am a child who was arranged. I am the fifth qualified person."

"The fifth qualified person?"

Shinji Ikari said curiously, "Are you that Nagisa...Kaoru?"

However, Nagisa Kaoru looked at Ikari Shinji, smiled gently, and said, "Just call me Kaoru... Ikari Shinji."

"Me too……"

Shinji Ikari looked at Kaworu Nagisa and blushed mysteriously. He said shyly, "Um... just call me Shinji."

the other side.

Because of Kaworu Nagisa's arrival, Misato made a special investigation into his experience.

however……

"Nagisa Kaworu, all past experiences have been deleted, just like Rei."

Misato said with a frown.

Speaking of the experience of being deleted, Lin Shengjie couldn't help but think of Rei Ayanami.

Rei Ayanami's past experiences were actually blank at the beginning, and everything that was mentioned was deleted.

Now the audience knows that Ayanami Rei is actually a clone of Ikari Yui, so they can't help but think of Kaworu Nagisa.

So does that mean that Kaworu Nagisa is also... a clone of someone?

But before that, besides Yui Ikari, who else died that required the use of clones?

Suddenly, Lin Shengjie came up with a bold idea.

"Could it be... a clone of Shinji Ikari?"

He couldn't help but speculate, "Why else would she care so much about Ikari Shinji and know about his affairs? Maybe just like Ayanami Rei's clone, Ikari Shinji's memories can be transmitted to Nagisa Kaworu?"

In the anime, Misato's subordinates replied, "But his birthday is the same as the date of the Second Impact."

Same date for the second impact?
Does this prove that the person that Kaworu Nagisa might have cloned died during the Second Impact?
And then got involved with the apostles?
"He is a child sent directly by the committee."

Misato continued to reveal information about Kaworu Nagisa, and said with certainty, "There must be some inside story!"
