The light of the oil lamp was swallowed up by the pitch-black passage, and Shinji Ikari could only see the flickering light on Duran's waist, struggling in the darkness like a firefly. Suddenly, the boy seemed to understand the loneliness of Duran's life in the last days.

The sewer could not lead to the lowest level, and it could only stop the two of them at the entrance of the abandoned elevator. Climb down the elevator passage to a half-collapsed hallway. Carefully walk through the hallway to the end of the glowing light, a breath of fresh air that brings a comfortable feeling to the exposed skin.

Shinji Ikari was stunned, where they were only about forty meters down, and there was still a long way to go. The scenery in front of them is beautiful, and the edge of the crater reflects the blue sky like a mirror, and they are now like people walking on the blue sky.

Iron plates are embedded in the cliffs of the mirror, and you can't see the end at a glance, all the way to the bottom.

"Let's go. Duran snuffed out the oil lamp and continued to lead the way.

Because it's too high, and the gap between the iron plates is so unobscular, you can see the underground clouds and mist through the middle, and Shinji Ikari is afraid of heights.

Duran didn't rush or help him, just stopped every distance and waited for the boy.

Shinji Ikari was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I'm so useless." ”

"It's okay, in the face of fear, there is no reason to overcome it immediately, otherwise it would not be called fear. "It was as if Durán had suddenly become a philosopher. In this theatrical version, whoever speaks directly is not forced, and they are embarrassed to go out and tell people that they have seen EVA.

I don't know why, Shinji Ikari thinks what Duran said makes sense.

Keep walking, I don't know how much time it took, Shinji Ikari is out of breath, and finally able to keep his feet on the ground again. He did this difficult thing by himself without anyone's help, and in retrospect, he still had a small sense of accomplishment.

There's nothing special underground, it's just neuronal dereliction, there are bicycles, bicycles and bicycles.

"The place is still big and we can ride faster. "Duran picked two bikes that could still be ridden. This kind of car is all solid tires, but I am not afraid of running out of gas, "Can you ride a bicycle?"

"Yes. ”

"That's good. ”

It was Duran who led the way, and the speed of the two was not fast. Because the chain has not been oiled for a long time, there is still a slight crunch when riding, echoing in the underground space.

"That ......" Shinji Ikari seemed to have something to say.

"Say what you have to say. Duran said.

"Yes, then I want to ask Mr. Duran why did you come down here?" It was only after he came down that Shinji Ikari remembered that it was completely unconscionable that Duran had spent so much time on it, and it was both dangerous and unbeneficial.

Duran replied, "Because I want to see the sky from a different place, and I like to look at the sky when I know that the world is left alone." Did you know that the sky over the sea is wider and bluer, and the sky on the mountains becomes dreamy when it is foggy? The sky over the city is really empty, there is nothing. I've never seen the sky underground, so I just came down. ”

"What do you think of the sky here, Mr. Du?" Shinji Ikari looked up, waiting for Duran's answer. He looked at the sky as blue and beautiful.

But Duran's answer was unexpected, "The sky here is full of lies. ”

"Sir...... Why?" Shinji Ikari didn't know why Duran would say that.

"Because this sky is only a small piece of the sky that the great hole shows you, and outside of this range, you don't know if there are white clouds passing by, or if there is rain falling. What you see will always be the dishonest sky that this hole has shown you. ”

Shinji Ikari understands a little, similar to the story of the frog at the bottom of the well. But Mr. Duran is really a learned person, and at his age, he still can't fully understand Duran's words, so he can only be unconscious.

"We're here!" Duran stopped his bike and put his foot on the ground, "That's where I found you." ”

Shinji Ikari suddenly moved faster, and took a few steps to the cockpit that was alone in the roadside building. He also didn't want to think about how he could have lived for fourteen years without the A.T position.

It's a pity that no matter how fast the boy moves, he is destined to be impossible to find Ling Boli inside.

"Limpoli—" the boy shouted, but found nothing but a Walkman, "Limpoli—"

The voice echoed, but there was no response.

"As I said, there is no one else. There is no third person in this world. Condolences change. Duran's words were more like a dagger, which broke Ikari Shinji's heart, and the thought that he didn't save Ling Boli made him feel that it was a mistake to live, and his whole person turned gloomy gray.

"Boy, boy?" Duran knew that Shinji Ikari was a bit autistic and gloomy, and he didn't expect it to change so quickly.

Put the play first, educate the troubled teenagers, and Duran also has his own method. Seeing that Shinji Ikari had his eyes shining before because he went down to the ground, he knew that he lacked self-identity, and he also cared unusually about the opinions of others, and he was also a negative person who would not self-reflect and improve, and he could only be pushed step by step. Probably only Ling Boli would let him take the initiative to pursue it.

If you don't change the character of Shinji Ikari, he can only be used as a prop in the end.

Duran's actions eventually attract Shinji Ikari, who picks out a few parts from a pile of rubble and turns them into a usable prop. Now he made a torch that could be cranked by hand, "Boy, is it okay to be sad?"

"Mr. Du, you are amazing. "Although Shinji Ikari is in a low mood now, he still pretends to be a good boy.

"It's just a thing to pass the time. As he spoke, Duran put the prop on the ground and stomped on it a few times, destroying the work he had just completed.

"......" Shinji Ikari was startled, "Sir, you?"

"Shinji-kun, someone has said that the value of the existence of all things is that one day all things will return to nothingness. From birth to destruction, it can be said that there is a beginning and an end to be said to be a complete life, do you think it is right?" Duran is not prepared for this Ikari Shinji to understand, in fact, for this kind of problem teenager, it doesn't make sense to reason, and the most practical method is to lure.

Shinji Ikari didn't speak, because he knew that Duran's words weren't finished.

Sure enough, Duran continued, "Boy, it's time to tell you the truth. ”

Shinji Ikari waited with wide eyes for Duran to continue.

"Actually, the cause of the end of the world is you, it is you who caused the third shock to destroy the whole world and kill everyone. Duran spoke slowly, but every word pushed Shinji Ikari off the bottomless cliff.

Hit Shinji Ikari first, then come with a mouth cannon, and finally lure, this effect should be good, it's better to make another turn, and then completely break Shinji Ikati.

There was another silence as Shinji Ikari sat down on the ruins, muttering in a low voice the name of Ling Boli.

"A lot of people have died, do you just think about your Lingboli?" Duran said calmly, "The human race has completed a cycle from birth to destruction, I don't blame you, I just think you should know the truth." It's just that unsurprisingly, you can't accept it. Do you blame me?"

"......" couldn't keep his spirits up at all, and he turned a deaf ear to Duran's words.

So such a protagonist is annoying and lifeless. Duran encounters an unprecedented challenge, but it's fun when it's difficult. Educate the protagonist who seems to owe him the whole world to show Duran's abilities.

So Duran pulled Shinji Ikari and walked deeper, where there was a good neuronal facility, and it seemed that some means were still necessary.

Along the way, Duran feels like he's pulling a dead pig, and it seems that Shinji Ikari is completely in a state of self-reproach.

It's too early to blame yourself, and Duran has arranged a good show.

At this time, all the qiē was captured by the camera, but only Shinji Ikari appeared on the screen, and there was no shadow of Duran at all.

I sent someone to look for it, but I couldn't find Shinji Ikari at all, obviously Shinji Ikari and others appeared on the screen, but it just didn't intersect, as if it was completely in two dimensions.

"Gendo?"

Gendo Ikari changed into a pair of bar-shaped glasses full of sci-fi sense, like cos laser eyes, but he didn't speak, because of what happened, he can't make sense of it now.

His son suddenly appeared here, and it seemed to be affected by an invisible force," Pai Nagisa Kaoru passed. He hoped that the apostles' power would find his Son, and that he was the indispensable key to humanity's plan to complete the plan.

"Got it. ”
