Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

One Three Two: From the New World

If it is an undefined existence, in addition to Cthulhu and the Sweet Potato Fairy, there is also this imaginary space.

Different from the world view of Nordic mythology, which has been a dualistic world since the beginning of time, the definition of original chaos is often seen in paganism.Heaven and earth, cold and warmth, good and evil, everything is mixed into one, so it contains the mother of the world of omnipotence and the original chaos. The so-called imaginary space is a space with omnipotence that is paradoxical to it.

It can be considered that it is completely different from the original chaos that is omnipotent because it is mixed together. It is the inner, unobservable domain of the human world.

According to the existing physical laws, it is even impossible to control the place where the leopard can be seen.

So all possibilities can be assumed there.In fact, humans cannot really see the rainbow vortex in the imaginary number space.If the imaginary number space is regarded as imaginary numbers, and human beings are real numbers, real numbers and imaginary numbers will never intersect under normal circumstances.

Even if someone is lucky enough to pass the apostle's authority and make an exception like this to confront the imaginary number, the decisive disconnection still continues.In other words, the rainbow-like scene in the imaginary number space is just an illusion caused by human beings' respective senses mistakenly thinking that they are observing imaginary numbers.

But now, after Shinji Ikari actually passed through this imaginary space that is symmetrical to the real world, he came to the scenery that had appeared in his dreams countless times.

The location is the third Tokyo city that should be commonplace.

At this time, he was standing at an intersection of a one-way three-lane main road. This intersection was close to the center of New Tokyo. It intersected with the north-south and east-west roads respectively. Looking down from above, it looked like a floating town. The huge cross is the center of the city.

But──for Shinji Ikari, this is a crossroads leading to a different world.

From the fragments of countless dreams, he also sorted out the general outline of the world. Directly in front of the crossroads was a red world with the Hope called the God-Killing Serpent floating in it. On the right side of the crossroads, it seemed that he was holding Asuka. The dream on the neck, but behind the left side of the intersection, is a world where a bunch of mechas are flying around.

The three directions at the crossroads represent three different worlds, and he appears in the mental landscape of this dream species through the authority of the Night Apostle.

But under the current circumstances, he has no interest in getting involved in other worlds.Sudden changes made him worry about other members present at the headquarters.

"You scum, you dragged me here with such a despicable method, you're so capable."

Although Shinji Ikari still acted with ease, there was no look of negligence or arrogance on his face.With that kind of cold aura, anyone who saw him would know that he was going to go on a killing spree.

Shinji Ikari instinctively clenched the rose beads around his neck, but quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Oh, your eternal majesty, please always look at me. You are the light that guides me, the tower of hope for mankind in this dark galaxy. In this darkness of approaching shadow, you are the one who forever controls the tides and storms. Emperor. Please be compassionate to your servants and guide me through the dangers of the dimension so that I can safely go to the human territory. I hope that you will be with me here, in the soul and above the facts."

Even though they belong to different worlds and even across different universes, Shinji Ikari still firmly believes in the glorious guidance of this Tower of Hope.

Although after the devout prayer, nothing changed.But Shinji Ikari, who was full of peace in his heart, put away the rose beads in his arms and strode forward. However, the moment he took the first step, he felt a sudden floating sensation in his body.

It's like diving under water and rising to the surface due to buoyancy.

--------

--------

Parallel world, a new world after the pseudo-third impact.

A huge thing suspended on the surface of the sea, the Miracle, the ship of hope.Like a land in flight, debris like fallen cherry blossoms flew out of the pink power furnace and floated toward the crimson sea.

The Hope Ship Miracle fights against NERV's super large flying battleship.His real name is AAAwunder, which means miracle or miracle in German.It's been calm these past few days.

Although Ritsuko Akagi doesn't hate this feeling.Even now the new organization shoulders the responsibility of annihilating NERV.

But suddenly the alarm on the console sounded, the highest level of red alert. "What could it be?" At this time, the pink-haired girl sitting in front clicked on the message.

"A high-energy reaction was observed in Itoman City, the southernmost point of the Ryukyu Islands." The girl's expression was calm, but the next second she opened her mouth in surprise, "My eyes, my eyes, a BM03 signal is coming from the target location?!"

"How is that possible?!" Aoye Shigeru with a beard suddenly rushed to the console.

No one cared about his gaffe, because the meaning of this signal could not be exaggerated no matter how exaggerated it was.For most uninformed civilians, that means the murderer who nearly destroyed the world and the former EVA driver.

"What happened?" At this time, a cold female voice came from the door, and everyone was trembling.Only Ritsuko Akagi walked up to the captain in military uniform.

"One minute ago, a high-energy reaction was observed in Itoman City, the southernmost part of the Ryukyu Islands, and then a message from Shinji Ikari came." Ritsuko Akagi said simply.

Although Katsuragi Misato's face, which had always been like a piece of frozen ice that had not melted for many years, had not changed much, her pupils shrank to a single point.

"The change of Unit [-], what about the situation of Unit [-]." Misato Katsuragi asked another question first.

"The two machines are fully charged and are ready to start. Do you want to inform Asuka and Makiha? Captain." Ritsuko Akagi asked.

Katsuragi Misira lowered the brim of her hat, not wanting others to see her expression, "Let's get going, since we can observe it, then those from NERV must be able to do it too. Inform Asuka and Makiha, but if necessary, if the target has If there is a risk of falling into the hands of NERV, then... kill him."

"As ordered." Ritsuko Akagi nodded gently.

A giant beam of light descended on the island as if pouring down from the sky. White pigeons were hovering in the sky, not daring to land on the branches anyway, because within a radius of several kilometers, every branch was vibrating with the same frequency.

——Itoman City, south end watchtower.

Shinji Ikari stepped on the cracked cement floor and glanced at the frame on the wall. He was surprised to find that the writing on the wall was mottled.The floor was covered with fallen leaves and debris, as if no one had cleaned it in years.He found that after taking a step forward, he appeared at a watchtower on an island somewhere. He looked sideways at the rusty sign next to it, which read "The best viewing spot in Itoman City".

Shinji Ikari knew Itoman City well because it is the southernmost city on Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands and is located near Naha City. In recent years, the population has grown rapidly and the city has been developed rapidly and has been in the news.

Shinji Ikari felt the lightness, or floating feeling, that still remained in his body.

Maybe he didn't come through formal channels. He vaguely felt that he couldn't stay here for long. In about two hours, he would be taken away by this pulling force and return to his own world.

"In another world, I only have two hours of viewing time, so it seems to be okay." Shinji Ikari stepped on the ground a few times, feeling shaky.

When he looked north, the sense of déjà vu became even stronger as he entered a world after humans disappeared.

The urban area that was supposed to be prosperous can no longer be described as lacking in people.As a cement aggregate that symbolizes human beings, those high-rise buildings that encroach on nature give him the feeling of growing out of the ground, and they also feel like natural objects.

However, all the buildings were as red as the ocean, which gave Shinji a subtle feeling.

The walls covered with vines, the depopulated city, all the buildings dyed red, the walls gradually peeled off and turned yellow.If this was the world after human beings disappeared, a sense of sadness arose in Shinji Ikari's heart.

Even in the world after humans disappear, it still has reference value.Shinji Ikari always believed that the emperor must have his reasons for choosing this place for himself.So in order to find out the situation, he planned to jump down from a high place and prepare to investigate the surroundings.

But he vaguely heard the sound of piano mixed in the waves.

Shinji Ikari walked towards the moss-covered stone steps and followed the road down to the foreground. As the distance got closer, the sound of the piano became clearer.

There is no way until you reach the cliff. Looking up from below, it looks like Shinji Ikari is standing on the cliff preparing to take a leap of faith.Overlapping waves crashed on the beach in the distance, and occasionally the sea breeze blew against my cheeks.The buildings here are also red, but there are countless wild flowers and grass growing in the gaps between the buildings. When the wind comes, these grasses and trees sway in the wind, as if catering to the sound of the piano.

Until I saw an open space next to a building near the sea, it was hazy and foggy.I could vaguely see a small green tree swaying in the wind, and next to the small tree there was the beautiful music of a piano.

As he got closer, the fog was suddenly blown away by the sea breeze, and the sun pierced the clouds at this moment and shone on the southernmost island of the Ryukyu Islands.The sun shines on the earth in the sea breeze, and the halo is as bright as gold.All leaning on the young man playing the piano in the central open space.

At this time, the sea breeze blowing from the south blew his hair close to his scalp, but he closed his eyes and smiled while playing, as if he was immersed in it.As the last note fell, the boy with skin as white as snow raised his neck and gently raised his head to look at the sunlight pouring on him.

"Quatre Mains, a piano piece composed by Sagisu Shirou." Shinji Ikari came here for some unknown reason. He stood by the piano and looked at the boy in front of him with a smile on his face, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

Although he said this, Shinji Ikari was already sitting in his seat.Because there is obviously room for one person on this bench.Bin is not narcissistic like Shinji Ikari, but he just has a feeling that this position is reserved for him.

"Piano continuation is a dialogue through musical steps. Do you want to give it a try?" The silver-haired boy did not turn his head to look at Shinji Ikari. He just placed his hands on the keys and issued an invitation.

As Shinji Ikari played first, the cheerful rhythm of the silver-haired boy soon followed.

"It's very good. Our ensemble has a tacit understanding." The young man closed his eyes and smiled intoxicated.

Sometimes, dialogue through scales may be more direct to the heart than words. "Quatre Mains" is a piano piece played by four hands together. Although it was only the first time they played together, they showed amazing tacit understanding.

Shinji Ikari was certain that this was the first time he met him, but this cheerful rhythm gave him the feeling that he existed just for himself.

But with the sudden change in the sound, the silver-haired boy who had closed his eyes to enjoy it suddenly opened his eyes because he noticed a change in the melody.At this time, Shinji Ikari's voice came to his ears, "The atmosphere of the song must remain absolutely clear. Then let's add some upgrades to supplement it. I plan to add some horn parts." Shinji Ikari closed his eyes.

The silver-haired boy did not answer, but responded to Shinji Ikari's changes with music.

"Quatre Mains à quatre mains 3EM16" plays four hands with one player seriously supporting the bass, and the other player playing briskly on the treble.Regarding this point, I believe everyone who is familiar with this piece of music should be well aware of this. However, Shinji Ikari suddenly changed to another line of music.

"Be a little brighter and a little more dynamic," Nagisa Kaoru seemed to be able to hear Shinji Ikari saying to him.

But this is also due to the change of mentality of Shinji Ikari. Compared with the bass part playing the role of serious support, he prefers to let the piano sound play a roller coaster-like tension and excitement.

The sound of the piano continued in the structure of "Shinji Ikari → Silver-haired boy → Instructions tacitly conveyed by both parties", advancing forward in an uncharacteristically weird atmosphere.

Rather than being nervous, the unique "feeling of elevation" produced by this had a huge effect on the performer's fingertips. However, the boy next to him was still able to keep up with him in perfect tacit understanding. All Shinji Ikari could say was that the result was extraordinary. Great.

It goes beyond the potential of the piano tone and contains a highly individual tone that "is about to burst into pieces."

Until the last musical note fell, both parties kept their hands on the keys in tacit understanding.

"It sounds great. It's great to have someone playing in an ensemble. My name is Shinji Ikari." Shinji Ikari stretched out his right hand towards the boy sitting next to him.

"My name is Nagisa Kaoru." Nagisa Kaoru responded with a smile.

It was obviously the first time we met, but we were no strangers at all. Maybe this is the charm of music.Shinji Ikari thought to himself, even after the four-handed bombing, the original depression of being dragged into the imaginary space by the apostle's sneak attack disappeared.

Just when Shinji Ikari wanted to inquire about the new world from the ensemble in front of him, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and then quietly sat up from the side.

"Do you need any help?" The ensemble member named Kaoru Nagisa looked at Shinji Ikari with a calm expression, but he didn't feel scared.

"It's nothing, I just ask you to stay away later. It seems that some guests are coming." Shinji Ikari said.

The sea breeze with a bit of fishy smell was mixed with a familiar smell, which was soon followed by a loud sound of earth shattering.A huge crimson body appeared in front of him like a dragon breaking through the sea.

[-]: Call my name

The crimson body crashed through the cliffs and buildings, appearing in such a shocking way, and the same crimson sea in the distance made a tidal sound like a dragon's roar.

It seemed to be Unit [-], but it didn't seem to be the case. The red head several meters high gave off a certain aura of vicissitudes of life.He slowly lowered his head, and most of the right half of his face dissolved, revealing the gray mechanical structure inside, but it had a soul-stirring beauty.At this time, deep in the eyes of the machine, there seemed to be a green light spinning.

Unit No. [-], or rather, Unit No. [-] modification.

In the end, they met each other, but some people had passed each other, and some things had changed.

There was no joy at all about meeting again after a long separation. The moment he saw the machine for the first time, Shinji Ikari felt a bone-chilling hostility. This made him wonder if the familiar girl was still the same inside the slightly changed machine No. [-] in front of him.

"Idiot Shinji, it's really you."

It wasn't until the familiar voice came from the machine that Shinji Ikari determined the identity of the pilot inside the machine in front of him.But the pilot's will appears through the eyes of the machine, seeming to contain some kind of teeth-gnashing anger.

"I haven't seen you in 14 years, and you're still hanging out with those NERV scum. You might as well die."

After saying just one sentence, he opened his right hand and suddenly grabbed it in the direction of Shinji Ikari.However, before Unit [-]'s palm touched Shinji Ikari's body, the other pink giant arm stopped her from the side.

"Oh princess, even if you want to take Puppy-kun back with you in this mood, you will accidentally scratch him. Then you will be the one who feels bad."

The unit that stopped him was the pink EVA that appeared immediately after the appearance of Unit [-].The overall height is the same as that of Unit [-], but the armor is a style that is somewhat unfamiliar to Shinji Ikari, at least it is not armor within the BGF Type [-].

The two EVAs didn't seem to be the friendly ones.Shinji Ikari becomes more and more curious about what is happening in this world.

"No, I have endured it for so many years, but I still can't bear it!" Unit No. [-] clenched her fist into a fist. Asuka seemed to want to smash her fist down again, but reason told her that this would only lead to the death of the mortal Shinji Ikari. " Anger mixed with sadness is probably what it is.”

The emotion of anger was growing crazily in her heart, which should be something to be happy about for Asuka, who was already on the verge of becoming an apostle.Because this also means that she still has human emotions in her heart.

But whenever I see the idiot in front of me, I still have the desire to swing my fist at him and smash his idiot face to pieces!

"Asuka, your mood is a little out of control, which is not conducive to work. Now Makiha is responsible for the detention, and you will be responsible for the guard next." The same familiar voice sounded in Shinji Ikari's ears.It was Misato Katsuragi, but this time, Shinji Ikari did not see the real person.

Because the owner of the voice is not here, she just transmits her voice to this open space through the loudspeaker.

Shinji Ikari turned his face sideways and saw a huge ship flying in the sky above the ocean in the south.Surrounding the aviation ship, there were many destroyers undulating on the sea surface, and the searchlight on the bow of the ship rotated to sweep across the sea surface.

Such a majestic fleet made Shinji Ikari laugh out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" A cold questioning voice came from Unit [-].

"It's nothing, I just want the Yokohama fleet that was destroyed by the fish apostle to be defeated by that kind of garbage. Some things may just be of no use." Shinji Ikari said with a smile.

Fish Apostle?Katsuragi Misato, who was in the ship at this time, frowned.She didn't know what a fish apostle was, but she understood it when it came to Yokohama's fleet.In other words, Shinji Ikari in front of him was ridiculing that his fleet was also just a shoddy product.

I haven’t seen him in 14 years, and he is very sharp-tongued and can start making sarcastic remarks.At least it is gratifying that the other party's spirit is still very stable.

"As expected, let's just kill him, Captain." The pink-haired staff member spoke next to him. Although he knew it was sarcasm, he was still stopped by Misato Katsuragi: "...obey the order!!"

"...Yes." The pink-haired girl shrugged, took a deep breath, and stopped looking at the villain on the screen.

Misato Katsuragi looked at the familiar boy on the ground. As long as she thought about it, she could instantly turn this disaster that could lead to the destruction of the world into a puddle of mud. The only people who would really care about Shinji Ikari's life and death were those old NERV friends. As a fate trigger Because of him, NERV needs to use Shinji Ikari to achieve the so-called completion of humankind.

"Misato, Misato Katsuragi, right? I heard your voice. You are hiding in a ship like this and you don't want to come out to meet me." Shinji Ikari smiled.

Misato Katsuragi said calmly, "Shinji Ikari, maybe you have a lot of questions, but the situation is urgent and there is no need to answer you. You just need to wait for custody now... Midori Kitakami, if Shinji Ikari still has people around him who are affiliated with the old NERV If the driver makes any rash move, just shoot him."

"Haha, I promise to complete the mission!" At this time, an excited female voice came from the radio.

Katsuragi Misato turned and left.Because she was not completely sure that if the young man in front of her really resisted and wanted to escape, whether she could really be cruel and order him to be killed.

At least the deterrence brought by this death order can make this little guy who has been reunited for a long time quiet for a while.

However, an unexpected intruder completely disrupted her plan.

"Shinji Ikari, where are you?"

The equally familiar voice was Ayanami Rei.

Together with the sound, there was a loud noise like an earthquake, as if something huge fell from the sky.The shock shook everyone.Then what appeared from the sky was a one-eyed machine that looked yellow overall.

——EVA Unit Zero.

No, Shinji Ikari instantly rejected it.He would hesitate even though the shape of Unit [-] was obviously different, but when he saw the unit in front of him that was similar to Unit [-], Shinji Ikari was able to make a very quick judgment.
