Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 529 EVA Conferred God (Original)

Human beings and even life are so small in the entire universe.

Most of the time and space in the universe are empty and lonely. Life is like a river flowing into the ocean. Although it is magnificent, it is extremely small.

but……

This can ultimately prove life and prove that humans exist.

As long as we can prove that we existed, that's enough.

I think, therefore I am. If I had never existed, how could there be so many possibilities?
Although it is only a blink of an eye, everything will be submerged and disappear in the universe.

But as long as it has appeared and existed...it is enough.

Fan Siwei felt that this was what Lin Qingshan had always wanted to tell them and the audience.

No matter how your life goes, whether it is success or failure, you have to keep living and try to leave traces of your life.

Just like Lin Qingshan himself.

If it were long ago, he would have given up everything and followed his family.

Then it would be impossible for him to bring so many excellent works to comic fans now.

These comic fans wouldn't understand so many truths.

Fan Siwei felt that he had finally realized it, and it was all thanks to Lin Qingshan...

He used so many excellent works to profoundly tell these comic fans how to continue living and how to move forward.

Fan Siwei also feels extremely lucky that there is a cartoonist like Lin Qingshan in this world and that he can like Lin Qingshan's works.

"Thank you... old thief Qingshan."

He said with some gratitude.

……

In the end, Shinji Ikari woke up on a beach, surrounded by the ocean, the barren land, the broken face of "Lilith" and the mass-produced EVA machine.

but……

There was a familiar figure beside him.

That was Asuka. She was even wearing an EVA pilot suit, and her right hand and left eye were bandaged without her noticing.

The audience was a little confused. Are... Asuka and Shinji Ikari the only ones left in the world?
After the failure of the Human Completion Project, only Shinji Ikari and Asuka are left, becoming the "Adam" and "Eve" of the new world?

However, some viewers recalled the previous plot and connected the dots to guess why this happened.

"Is it because Asuka is the only one who wants to come back for now?"

Zhou Wenwei said with emotion, "In the plot just now, only Asuka explicitly refused to be 'completed', and there was no congratulations to Shinji. What Ayanami Rei said was that the lost self can only be found by one's own strength, and only by relying on one's own strength can one restore the human form."

"Is that so?"

Ke Xinjie finally understood and said, "Then the others don't plan to come back?"

"Perhaps everything envisioned by the Human Instrumentality Project is too good to be true."

Zhou Wenwei thought for a moment and said, "Everyone's consciousness has merged together. Without a physical form, there is no need for material things. Perhaps this world is too beautiful, which is why people don't want to come back."

Yes... maybe in their eyes, this kind of world where all human consciousness is integrated together is a little scary.

But in the human experience of accepting completion, this can be an incredibly beautiful thing.

No lies, no fraud, no pain, no death, no war, no hunger, no disease... Isn't this the paradise that everyone dreams of?
Perhaps those who are not in the know really believe that the day of the Son's resurrection predicted by the Holy Bishop has really arrived, and that the Holy Lord is taking them to heaven.

So...even if it is a dream, there will be people who don't want to wake up.

Only Shinji Ikari and Asuka completely rejected completion and returned to the real world.

only……

Looking at this completely destroyed and restarted original Earth, would it really be a good thing to refuse to complete and return to reality?

Just like reality is so cruel, would it be a good thing to leave the dream and return to reality?

The audience now doesn’t know the real answer, they are just watching Shinji Ikari and Asuka in the animation.

The two of them had been lying on the beach, with the sound of the tide rising and falling beside them.

Ikari Shinji didn't know when he woke up, but he looked at the sea on the side.

In the ocean of blood, he saw Rei Ayanami again, standing there looking at him quietly.

But the next moment, Rei Ayanami disappeared again.

It seemed like a farewell forever, and reminded people of the beginning of "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

At that time, Shinji Ikari started the next story because he saw Rei Ayanami appear and then disappear.

It's like... some kind of echo.

Shinji Ikari immediately stood up and sat up, then he saw Asuka next to him.

But... in the silent transition of the scene that followed, he appeared again the next moment and actually sat on Asuka, and then...

He grabbed Asuka's neck with both hands just like he did in the previous conversation with Asuka!

"Isn't it?!"

Lin Shengjie, who was in bed, watched this scene and couldn't help but say, "Does Shinji Ikari still hate Asuka? Does he really want to strangle Asuka to death?!"

The other viewers were also very nervous. Could it be that... Asuka, who refused to complete the story, would still be strangled to death by Shinji Ikari who had awakened? !

Behind them was a blood-red sea, and two mass-produced EVAs stood there with their arms outstretched like a cross.

Shinji Ikari really used all his strength with both hands, his body even trembling from the force as he tightly strangled Asuka's neck.

Asuka's intact eye opened at this time, as if she was awakened by Shinji Ikari's behavior.

She looked at Shinji Ikari who was strangling her neck, but her eyes were calm.

Then her right hand slowly moved. She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Shinji Ikari's face.

It seems like... he understands Shinji Ikari.

Then Shinji Ikari seemed to be relieved, or he proved that he had really returned to reality, and Asuka also returned to reality.

He let go and burst into tears on Asuka.

At this time, Asuka's eyes finally changed. She looked at Shinji Ikari in front of her and said this -

"You're so disgusting..."

And then... the show ends.

Then, the extremely familiar BGM "Cruel Angel Thesis" sounded again - and the special ending of the finale.

Lin Qingshan produced a sequel based on the finale of the previous life's "EVA" comic version, and played it in the form of a MV called "Cruel Angel Thesis".

It's not that Shinji Ikari and Asuka are the only ones left on Earth. They are not the Adam and Eve in the myth who need to rely on themselves to reproduce a civilization again.

It’s just that Shinji Ikari and Asuka were the first humans to refuse completion and restore their human form on their own.

As time goes by, the humans who are in the state of completion will slowly come back with their own strength.

Gradually, most of the humans who wanted to come back refused to be completed and returned to reality by their own strength.

Cities and civilizations were also rediscovered deep underground, and new cities and civilizations were rebuilt.

I don’t know how much time has passed in this city covered in ice and snow.

Shinji Ikari greeted his former friends - Suzuhara, Kensuke and other classmates in the MV, and then boarded the crowded subway.

He met Asuka again.

The two looked at each other and smiled. They still had memories of the past, and now they had let it go.

In the last song of "Cruel Angel Program" -

"Young man, go and become a legend—"

After arriving at the station, Shinji Ikari walked out of the subway and smiled. From the smile he showed as he looked at the city, he was no longer confused, but full of confidence in the future.

From now on... "Neon Genesis Evangelion" has come to a perfect end!
The audience also typed on the barrage:

"Young man! Go and become a legend!"

"Finish spreading flowers!"

"A masterpiece! It must be a masterpiece!"

"This is such a great ending! Really...amazing! Even better than Fate Stay Night!"

"This is such a great ending! I can only say that Qingshan the old thief is awesome!!!"

"Thanks for your company! Sprinkle flowers on the end!"

"The old thief Qingshan is invincible!!!"

"Old thief Qingshan! My mental patient!"

"Another god-level animation in recent years! Aoyama the old thief is awesome!!!"

"The world's number one cartoonist, Aoyama the old thief!!!"

"As expected of you! A mental patient!"

……

It was almost one o'clock in the morning when the finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" was released.

After all, for the finale of this episode, Lin Qingshan not only recreated the plot of the theater version’s finale, but also integrated the TV version’s finale, and also made a comic version’s MV to explain the follow-up.

It was just a 50-minute finale.

During this period of time, many viewers come back to watch anime after a day of work or school.

But Lin Shengjie and other audiences were still quite excited.

Because the final ending of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is so great!

It's like watching a movie and feeling satisfied.

And the ending really fills in all the gaps. The most important thing is that before the finale, the official program produced by Station C first filled in a lot of settings.

After all, many concepts and settings of "EVA" were not explained clearly in either the theatrical version or the TV version.

Instead, it will be explained on the official website, in the comic version, and in interviews with the main creative staff.

So it is true that later viewers were a little confused and not used to why many settings of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" were so vague.

But as long as you know what these settings and plots mean, then you will have a good experience watching the finale.

Although some settings are still unclear, such as what exactly does Ikari Gendō want to do?
What happened when Shinji Ikari accepted the completion?
But these are all trivial matters, because many viewers can roughly guess them through the plot.

Instead, they think Lin Qingshan is even more amazing. In fact, before the last two episodes of the finale, the plot of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" had only reached the level of a masterpiece.

But the last two episodes, especially the last one.

Lin Qingshan showed them what it means to become a god in one episode.

It also confirmed to the audience that...Lin Qingshan is really a mental patient!
but……

As long as Lin Qingshan is allowed to give full play to his free and insane talent, he will be invincible!
Now in the early hours of the morning on the Internet, the audience who watched the finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" are extremely excited and are praising Lin Qingshan and "Neon Genesis Evangelion" crazily!
"Old thief Qingshan! He is really amazing. This episode is so awesome... The plot and pictures are so good!"

"You can always trust Qingshan the old thief! As expected, as long as Qingshan the old thief is willing to exert his full strength, he will surely be able to create a masterpiece!"

"The last time I saw such a good show that was worthy of being called a masterpiece was Fate Zero... Eh? It turned out to be the work of Aoyama the old thief, so that's fine."

"Anything produced by Lao Zei must be top quality! This is really delicious!"

"It's better to have a plot with a mental illness like this. A protagonist like Shinji Ikari who looks normal but is actually a lunatic can bring out the talent of the old thief Aoyama."

"After all... Qingshan Laozi is also a mental patient (funny). Only a mental patient can create such a perfect mental patient protagonist."

"It's true... David, Agni, Denji, Brother Huo, Kiritsugu... They are all really mentally ill!"

"The ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion really shocked my mom for the whole year. In the end, Seele really just wanted to implement the Human Instrumentality Project? There was no conspiracy to replace God or something like that?"

"Because that's enough. In fact, Seele just wants to save humanity and realize this ultimate fantasy utopia of mankind."

"Yes... The Human Instrumentality Project is truly a utopian world. After all, everyone is integrated together. You are in me and I am in you. There are no material needs and no struggles."

"Does this mean that Qingshan the old thief thinks there is really no complete peace in this world, no complete world harmony?"

"What do you think? Qingshan the old thief has always believed this. Cyberpunk, for example, is based on reality and explains that even if human technological civilization reaches its peak, it is impossible to achieve a utopian world. Instead, it will only become a capitalist world full of selfish desires."

"And in Chainsaw Man, didn't Makima want to create a world without war, death, or hunger? But wouldn't that only leave domination?"

"Aoyama is definitely a pure dystopian, but... why do I feel like he believes in realistic existentialism?"

"Ah? Isn't the old thief a believer in nihilism? Aren't Edgewalker and Flame Fist about nihilism?"

"Maybe the old thief has changed. Anyway, judging from the finale of EVA, I think the old thief is really realistic."

"After watching the finale of this episode, even I, a lifelong otaku, want to go out for a walk. Damn that old thief Qingshan!"

"A famous saying in the world - the old thief Qingshan's famous saying of retreating from his home: Dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams."

"I am still very moved, but I think what Qingshan the old thief wants to express most is... Even if humans and this world are not perfect, we still have to live."
