Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

Ibuki Maya shouted again, "Warning! The mental map of the fourth qualified person, Makiha, is confused! Mental pollution is beginning to appear!"

The white-pink, extremely corrosive umbilical cord was firmly rooted in Unit [-]'s chest, and dozens of raised lines similar to vascular suits were raised on the surrounding surface.Mahibami pressed her forehead, and images flashed in her head, as if some wild beast was about to break into the shackles.

Her eyes fell when she lowered her head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes similar to Ayanami Rei's.

The falling leaves on campus, the hot summer wind and the mottled scenery all seemed to be dug out from the depths of my mind again.Makiha remembers the never-ending bitter summer, and she will never forget it. Behind the bitter summer is the most important part of her life. At this moment, countless images surge through her mind like the rising tide of the sea.

She walked into the ruined palace of memory and went back to a long time ago along the long time tunnel, where she saw Sextant Gendo who was lying in front of his desk and working tirelessly, and the fallen leaves were flying on the campus. Professor Fuyuki stood in front of the podium, the silhouette behind the curtain, and Ikari Wei still standing in front of him.

"Here you go, these glasses match you very well." Ikari Wei smiled at her, but when he raised his head, his eyes were empty, with blood and tears streaming down his face.The white coat on his body turned into the original combat uniform the moment the shadow fell.

"No, please don't!" Mashiba instinctively rushed forward, but still took a step slower and saw Ikari Wei's figure throwing herself into the purple body behind her.

The Ikari Wei when we first met, the dead Ikari Wei, the Ikari Wei who devoted herself to Unit [-], countless scenes ended here.

A bright light suddenly illuminated the depths of the dark memory hall. In front of Makiha were rows of bookshelves, and on the bookshelves were Ikari Yui's heads.

In the deepest darkness of the kaleidoscope-like palace, Mashiba closed his eyes and knelt on the ground.But in reality, the visor of the originally immobile red body suddenly opened, revealing four golden eyes. He raised his hands and used his own will to tear the umbilical cord bound to his chest.

"Damn you!" Makiha roared angrily as his eyes regained their clarity.

Everything seemed to be back to normal again, this apostle with a very strange shape and ability didn't seem to cause any trouble... At this moment, there was a harsh metal friction sound, like metal rubbing against a wall... and like the earth was cracking. .

The purple body deep in his memory seemed to tear through the illusion and come before him, but this time, it was him who cut through the mountains and seas with his sword.

At this time, Makiha discovered that the umbilical cord had been cut into two pieces by Unit Zero before it was torn off by him. At the same time, what was separated was the fetal membrane earth under his feet that was originally connected to the apostle.No one expected that Shinji Ikari would split the seabed together in order to block the connection between the apostles and Unit [-].

A huge gap opened up in the rock formations below the seabed, and golden blood flowed from the depths of the scar that was thousands of meters long.Everyone in the monitoring room was filled with the dull sound of explosions. The suddenly exposed lava river was like a giant sword immersed in sea water and quenched, but it did not explode.

"I think I heard the sound of cannons?" Misato Katsuragi said, "What happened?!"

"It's the sound of seawater vaporizing." Although he didn't see the picture, Ritsuko Akagi could tell it based on his accumulated knowledge. "The left side of the sea floor west of Cape Chao at the southern end belongs to the Eurasian plate and the right side belongs to the Pacific plate. They are now in the trench. Directly above, there was a crack here more than 300 years ago, and now magma occasionally flows out from the depths, making it very fragile!"

As Makiha regained her clarity and regained control of Unit [-], the monitoring room once again saw the scene in front of her.The earth's crust broke off there, and rock formations burned red rolled out.The magma spewed out intermittently, and the seawater and the magma presented a strange scene like water and milk blending together, and the faint sound of cannons echoed below.

At this time, the purple Unit Zero was floating 50 meters above the center of Unit [-] and the Apostle, its blazing purple pupils shining in the sea water.The apostle's body instinctively felt fear, and he worked hard to release the angel's spiritual pressure to fight against it.

But Unit Zero didn't take it seriously. It was a condescending look down from a top predator in the biological chain, just like if you saw a hamster grinning at you on the ground, would you be afraid?The 40-meter-long high-heat long knife in His palm quickly took shape. In this ultra-high-pressure abyss, the boiling point of seawater exceeds 500 degrees.The high-temperature light knife comes into contact with seawater, and the seawater vaporizes. However, after the water vapor cools down slightly, it is reduced to a liquid by high pressure, and the bubbles do not even have time to leave the deep sea.

This is the alien form of the Light Whip of the Day Apostle. Just now Shinji Ikari used it to cut through mountains and seas.

"Shinji-kun, don't mess around! This place is very fragile, be careful of causing a super earthquake!" Misato Katsuragi's anxious voice sounded in the cockpit.

"If it is so easy to cause an earthquake, it means Japan is destined to die." Shinji Ikari replied flatly.

After Shinji Ikari's words fell, a majestic platinum diamond-shaped force field appeared at his feet.In the blink of an eye, the domain expanded rapidly.The skin of the womb angel below showed bright red blood drops. His body had already been able to perfectly adapt to the high pressure of the deep sea, but at this time, under the pressure of Unit Zero's force field, the skin all over his body began to crack.

But the blood that oozed from the cracked skin slowly gathered on the back of the womb angel, and a pair of white wings grew out.

When Misato Katsuragi saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief.He did not use the high-heat light knife or release the light gun, which showed that he still had some concerns.

"Shinji Ikari is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. He knows what's right and won't act recklessly." Ritsuko Akagi's voice sounded next to Misato Katsuragi.

The absolute realm that was as huge as the collapse of the deep sea oppressed the realm of the womb angel, and also extinguished her fear. At the critical moment of life and death, he launched an attack again, and the white-pink halo rose up to resist the slowly sinking huge realm, as if Electrical dissipation energy surrounds the two colliding objects.

Of course, defense was not enough, and the slender pink whip thrust towards Unit Zero again.

Shinji Ikari controlled Unit Zero with an expressionless face, opened his right hand, and grabbed the long whip that was shot. This time, he planned to rely on the Nail of Light to completely destroy it.The light whip suddenly became extremely hot. Shinji Ikari looked at the blood vessels floating on the back of his hand and instantly let go of his hand.

"You can actually break through my realm?" Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This is something that neither the Sky Angel nor the Power Angel can do, but specifically speaking, it shouldn't be a breakthrough, but that one's own domain does not have much repulsive force on the objects in front of it.Somewhat similar to the Lance of Longylus, but essentially closer to no repulsion.

But then something even more surprising happened to Shinji Ikari. Perhaps to protect what was in his belly, his originally bulging belly quickly slid down to his knees, and the parts that should have been his feet had... a pair of needles.

no problem?Is it really okay?Even if you drink nuclear waste water, it won’t be so outrageous!

Immediately afterwards, the lotion under the legs surged, and the apostle in front of him slid deeper into the ground like a squirting octopus.The earth's crust was broken there. Makiha, who was skimming the formation next to him, wanted to chase in, but he saw only gushing magma.

"Is this really okay?" Makiha's voice sounded on the channel. Even without seeing her face, you can still imagine her going crazy. "There are breasts under the legs, secreting fluids... even if it's... Apostle Evolution cannot be so unreasonable!"

Shinji Ikari said nothing because he also felt it was outrageous.If the apostles were designed by some high-dimensional life forms, then the designer of the Womb Angel must be out of his mind.

"Ah? Can you still survive hiding in lava?"

In the dark screening room of the new command post, Misato Katsuragi held a steaming latte and frowned at the battle scenes played back on the screen.

Makiha, who was wearing a navy blue coat, was also holding a hot latte, but was rarely silent. Also silent was Shinji Ikari, but he himself was very quiet, and his mood swings were not felt.

"At 11:07:15 yesterday evening, the target controlled Unit 3 for 09 seconds through the fleshy moss clinging to the seabed. Then the target was attacked by Unit Zero... The control was interrupted. At 20 minutes and [-] seconds, the target evacuated voluntarily. .”

Interpreter Ritsuko Akagi gently paused the video. Also paused was No. 16 Apostle Womb Angel Amishaal, who finally escaped into the cracks in the earth's crust.

"The Uterus Angel, a ring-shaped belt about one kilometer in diameter that first appeared in Shin-Odawara Port, was in the shape of a uterus when it was discovered by a U.S. submarine on August 26. As of last night, it was similar to the lower body of a woman, sliding down to The abdomen at the knees bulges, and the shape of wings grows on the back. From this, it can be judged that the appearance of the target apostle can be changed at will." Misato Katsuragi concluded, then looked in the direction of Shinji Ikari and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Colonel Ikari." Shinji Ikari nodded gently, without comment.

Everyone thought that he was a little frustrated because he failed to achieve success, but in fact, during this battle, the Japanese government and everyone at the headquarters were frightened, fearing that this ancestor would use too much force and Japan would be destroyed as well.

But fortunately, he was driving Unit Zero, and its output power and combat time were far lower than those of Unit One that had already awakened.Everyone just thought he gave up the pursuit because time was running out.

"For now, it is not certain that Womb Angel Amishar has the ability to reproduce new apostles, but the wisdom he displayed during the battle has surpassed all previous apostles." Misato Katsuragi looked at Shinji Ikari, "Shinji, your last How does it feel to be in contact with Him?”

"If you put aside his umbilical cord, from a pure attack perspective, the threat is even lower than that of the Water Apostle and the Day Apostle." Shinji Ikari said, "But in terms of domain strength, it is second only to the Angel of Power Cellul."

Misato Katsuragi looked calm, "Second only to the Angel of Power, the strength of this field is quite exaggerated. Could it be related to her image as a mother?"

"Is it a stronger field force field generated to protect the fetus in the belly? This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ritsuko Akagi nodded slightly, "The second is the fleshy fetal membrane that clings to the seabed similar to moss in its second form. It also has The effect of corroding the body. The eroded part of the body will assimilate with the opponent until the erosion is lifted."

"In other words, he may have the ability to parasitize inside the machine like the Graupel Angel?" Misato Katsuragi frowned, "This sounds very troublesome. Do we have to use two machines together in future battles?"

"The most troublesome thing is his pink-white light whip, which is suspected to have the effect of ignoring the absolute realm."

If it only penetrates the field force field of Unit [-] driven by Makiha, it may not be possible to confirm this guess, but it also penetrated Unit Zero driven by Shinji Ikari in a short period of time.Even if Shinji Ikari was weaker than Unit-[-] when he piloted Unit-[-], it was definitely not a defense that a normal apostle could break through.

"Erosion, assimilation, transformation, mental attack, extremely high field strength, ignoring EVA field defense... This is a new apostle with outstanding weaknesses and strengths." Katsuragi Misato sighed softly.

This is a seminar after the battle, a meeting specifically for apostles to conduct research, discussion and exchange.It plays a huge role in formulating policies, development strategies, methods and measures.

The final result of the discussion was to formulate a new combat plan based on the obvious advantages and disadvantages of the Womb Angel, and still spare no effort to search for his whereabouts, striving to annihilate the opponent the next time he appears.

Half an hour later, Shinji Ikari walked out of the screening room. After lightly brushing his face with water in the bathroom, he raised his head and met Katsuragi Misato, who was standing behind him, through the mirror.

Misato Katsuragi followed her all the way from the screening room. She obviously had something to say to Shinji Ikari, but it was not convenient to reveal it in public.

"If it were you, even if you were only piloting Unit Zero, you should be able to stop him in the end." Misato Katsuragi crossed her arms and stared at Shinji Ikari's eyes through the mirror, "Why did you let him go? Is it just that? Because His form moves you to compassion."

"It's boring." Shinji Ikari calmly took out the tissue and wiped the water stains from his hands.

"Not interesting?" Misato Katsuragi was a little surprised that Shinji Ikari actually gave such an answer.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Misato Katsuragi looked at the boy standing in front of the washstand in the mirror, and his eyes swept across her face.Although he made a lazy voice, there was a hint of impatience on his expression.

"So what if we take ten thousand steps back and let Him evolve to its peak?"

"Those are apostles. Each of them has the possibility of destroying the world and ending the process of human civilization. If we let the apostles go, this possibility will only expand without limit. We are NERV, and our duty is to end all apostles."

"Apostles are just apostles. Whether they evolve to the end or not does not make any difference."

Shinji Ikari knew about Misato Katsuragi's past and her obsession with destroying the apostles, but the words Misato Katsuragi stated were mixed with sadness and anger, but Shinji Ikari didn't seem to have any special feelings about it.

"There is no end in life between heaven and earth, and you are not a gentleman. I understand it when I come, and I must understand it when I leave."

Although Shinji Ikari didn't explain it thoroughly, Misato Katsuragi had been with him day and night for so long, and she knew the hidden meaning in his words.

If you are afraid of His power and want to kill Him before then, that's okay.It's your decision and you can make plans based on the idea, but you shouldn't bring him into it. "

If you want to rely on his power to destroy the apostles, there is no need to formulate such a petty battle plan.Even if the apostle evolves to its peak, Shinji Ikari is confident in suppressing everything.

Katsuragi Misato's expression instantly thawed.

The seminar had just ended, and the early morning light shone in from the window. Misato Katsuragi stood here blankly, looking sideways at the undulating Hakone Mountains in the distance.Now I recall that I went to Second New Tokyo City to pick up this little guy that morning. I only had one photo of him at that time.When I first saw him, he was pale and thin, wearing a white student uniform, and weak as a girl.

Only the hand that stretched out from the flying dust was long and slender with exposed tendons. It was held very tightly and exuded a little bit of "power"... Before that, I had never thought that the whole world would rely on his power. , and never thought that she needed him to complete her revenge... Katsuragi Misato lifted her bangs and lowered her eyes.

What are you doing at this time?

At this moment, Misato Katsuragi suddenly felt that she was still the child who had just come to the North Pole to meet her father.

So much time has passed, I have gone to university and started working, I have met the world's top scholars, and I have escaped death several times... But I still feel that I am still a stubborn child, stubbornly ignoring the kindness that my father has brought to me. , followed his back stubbornly, and it was not until I saw him pushing himself into the cockpit before the end that I understood my father's love.Only after his father died did he reconcile with him...but when did he reconcile with himself?

I have been living for the past my entire life, and sometimes I really hate myself for being like this.Misato Katsuragi was suddenly alert, and she did not want Shinji Ikari to be like this.

Maybe, he did not stop the Womb Angel from escaping into the magma out of pity, or maybe he just gave up the pursuit because the battery of Unit Zero was at the bottom, but it is no longer important... Katsuragi Misato stretched out her hand and gently He stopped into his arms.

"I'm sorry, I ignored your feelings." Misato Katsuragi apologized sincerely, and the faint warm fragrance from her body surrounded Shinji Ikari.

Shinji Ikari was a little stunned by her sudden move, but he was not surprised because women are very emotional creatures. Maybe he lost all the affection for Crush, who he has been secretly in love with for several years, because of a trivial matter, or maybe because of a single hand. She holds her chin up and looks at the profile of her face outside the window, feeling very maternal and wanting you to hold her in her arms.

"I shouldn't have dragged you into my past. I was a little crazy."

Shinji Ikari's heart moved slightly, but he did not ask about Katsuragi Misato's mental journey.

There are always some past events in people's hearts that are buried and unwilling to be dug up again, just like a grave, and only one can silently pay homage to it. For Misato Katsuragi, the Arctic research institute is a grave, and for Shinji Ikari, the knight The world of Wallins is also a tomb.

Although everything in the empire, from the high lords to the common people, seems to be rotten and fucked up, there are always loyal and brave people who hold on to the hope of mankind.They are not born fearless, they are not genetic demigods, but they continue to write the hymn of human courage in that desperate world with their unyielding and tenacity that is unique to mortals.The Emperor chose to hand the Imperium back to mortals, and mortals did not fail Him.

The two people are thinking about different things, but in a sense they are connected together.

Misato Katsuragi gently stroked Shinji Ikari's smooth black hair. She didn't know when she would reconcile with herself, but she would have the answer after all the apostles disappeared.

An hour later, after Shinji Ikari came out of the new command post, the young man raised his eyes and stared directly at the blazing sun.It's rare to not know what to do.

Misato and the others were busy chasing the whereabouts of the womb angel. Ayanami Rei went to Dr. Akagi's research institute as usual for physical maintenance. Asuka was fine, but now she would have made some weird comments about her in the past. Thinking of this, Shinji Ikari gave up the idea of ​​going back.

Shinji Ikari raised his head and looked at the billboard of the building in front of him showing the figure of Japanese Environment Minister Yu Ishigami.

Regarding the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea, the Japanese government did not reflect on it. Instead, it allocated another 700 billion yen to alleviate the negative impact of nuclear wastewater discharge.

The picture in the advertisement shows Japan's current Environment Minister Yu Ishigami conducting a surfing class for minors in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture.At the same time, in order to prove the so-called safety of Paihai, he also went surfing in the sea.

In the picture, he stood on a surfboard and gave the camera a stiff smile, and then was knocked over by the waves the next second.

Suddenly, Shen Xiong's engine sounded.A flash of purple flashed across the corner of Shinji Ikari's eyes, and he felt the hot wind blowing sharply on his cheeks.A black car flashed past him, the brakes making a tooth-piercing sound, and it stopped suddenly beside Shinji Ikari.

The car window was lowered, and the domineering face appeared in front of him, showing a bright smile to Shinji Ikari, "Hey handsome man, do you want to go for a ride?"

Second New Tokyo City, Tokyo Imperial Theater.

The Imperial Theater, photographed near Ginza in Tokyo, was built at the beginning of the last century and was the first Western-style theater in Japan.Minsuke Yokogawa is responsible for the architectural design, and it is full of Renaissance architectural style.The most popular slogan at the time was "Today's Imperial Drama, Tomorrow's Mitsukoshi".It symbolizes the beginning of the consumer era.

Shinji Ikari and Makiha were sitting in the private room on the second floor, a little surprised.

Makiha Marie Elantrias, one of the EVA candidates, Shinji Ikari's impression of her is that of an optimistic girl with glasses with twin tails.

But in today's outfit, she rarely lowered her twin ponytails and tied her dazzling purple hair on top of her head, like a noble lady at a blue dinner.The diamond pendant in her right ear danced in the light, and coupled with the Aston Martin Vantage she drove when she picked her up, her aura instantly transformed from an optimist and cute girl to an aristocratic lady.

But she must have been a noble, and the word Illustrious itself means excellence and splendor.

"Don't you ask where you are going, Puppy-kun? What if I am a double agent and kidnap you?" Makiha sat next to him with a delicate smile. She did not expect that he would act like this just after meeting for the second time. You have to believe in yourself so much.

"Whatever, it would be interesting to be a spy."

At this time, the lights dimmed, the music started, and the curtain slowly opened amid applause, as if a mythical scroll had been opened.

The art of musicals has been passed down from the old times to the present, and most of them are mythological dramas.

Judaism is the oldest religion that believes in God. It only recognizes the Lord of Creation as the only God in the universe. Most musicals follow the ancient polytheistic beliefs. Gods have joys, sorrows, and joys just like humans, and many dogs have been derived. Blood story.

"Pharaoh's Concubine" tells the story of the Israelites who came to Egypt from Canaan in the 18th century BC to escape famine, and then began a history of suffering and slavery that lasted for more than 400 years.In the 15th century BC, an outstanding Jew emerged at the historic moment, and he was Moses.Unable to bear the servitude of the Egyptian Pharaoh and rulers, Moses and his fellow Israelites decided to leave Egypt and return to Canaan, where their ancestors once lived, to start a free life again.
