CHAPTER XLV

Room 101 of the medical room of the NERV headquarters

Shinji Ikari wakes up slowly, and is greeted by a familiar ceiling

After being stunned for a long time, he came to his senses, and suddenly felt the sound of breathing coming from him, turned his head slightly, and found that a touch of orange-yellow soft long hair was floating on his hospital bed, and the owner of the hair was already lying on the side of the bed because of exhaustion at this time

"Asuka..."

Shinji Ikari quietly looked at the beautiful girl lying on his bed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's beautiful long hair, his eyes were full of soft emotions

"Hmmm......"

Feeling movement around her, after a soft moan, the girl woke up slowly

"Shinji, you're awake, how are you, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that the unconscious boy on the hospital bed had woken up, Asuka hurriedly asked with concern while grabbing Shinji's hands that were still tied with gauze

"Uh... I don't think it's a big deal, I'm sleeping very comfortably" Shinji also had a lot of gauze on his face, and his little face was a little moved at this time

"It's okay, the doctor said before that your life won't be in danger" Asuka nodded, muttering a few words to herself, and then returned to her usual princess temperament

"What do you mean by getting some sleep? You've been in a coma all day, fool! ”

…………………

It is said that after Asuka eliminated the Eighth Apostle Fetal Angel that day, after the Fetal Angel was killed by the Fetal Angel's dying counterattack and destroyed the connection between the crane and the second unit and the refrigeration system of the D-type equipment, Shinji tried his last strength to drag the second machine and himself to the ground, and he fell into a coma due to burns and loss of strength

Ikari Hong stepped forward and injected a piece of heaven and earth vitality into Shinji's body, and then handed Shinji over to the medical team

And Asuka has been staying in Shinji Ikaru's hospital room after a simple injury treatment, waiting for him to wake up

…………………

The top layer of the nerv

An empty and huge office dedicated to Commander Ikari

"How long has it been since you took Leigh to the trial?" Yuantang crossed his hands in front of his chest and looked at the two people standing in front of him lightly

After hearing the word test, Rei Ayanami hugged Ikari Hong's arm and hid behind Ikari in a panic, looking at Ikari Gentang with a hint of fear in his eyes

As if feeling the emotions of Yiren behind him, Ikari Hong gently shook Li's trembling hand, signaling to reassure her

"She doesn't need any more experiments, and I'm not going to let her into that container anymore, father."

Ikari Honghu was in front of Rei Ayaba, looked at his father with a hint of anger in front of him, and said softly

Ikari Gentang's hands crossed in front of his chest clenched without leaving a trace, and he looked coldly at the son who had changed the script for himself

After a long silence between the two sides, Ikari Yuantang coughed and slowly spoke

"It's up to you, but if Rei's body is shattered because she doesn't soak in LCL, the second Ayanami Rei won't have any memories of you."

Rei, who was hiding behind Ikari Hiro, heard the 'second Ayanami Rei', and her body trembled involuntarily

Ikari turned around and hugged Rei Ayana, who was very uneasy, patted the back of the girl in her arms, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, no one can replace you"

Rei Ayanami felt a little relieved in Ikari Hong's arms, and slowly stopped trembling

Immediately, Ikari Hong took Li's hand and left the wide and empty room without even saying hello

Before arriving at the door, Ikari Hong stopped and said without looking back, "I'm sorry, father, Rei is not your puppet, let alone a tool, so please don't say anything about substitution or anything like that......"

Ikari Gendo looked deeply at the backs of the two of them leaving, and sighed when no one was around

………………

"Tomorrow Misato said that she was going to the hot spring resort at the foot of the shallow stream mountain to soak in the hot springs, and it just so happens that there is nothing to do recently, why don't we two go to the hot springs too?"

After leaving Commander Ikaru's room and entering the elevator, Ikari Hong smiled and said to Rei, who was depressed beside him

Rei Ayanami nodded slightly, signaling her agreement with Ikari Hong's idea

"Rei"

"Huh?"

Rei Ayanami looked up, her red eyes facing each other

Ikari Hiroshi stretched out his hands to smooth Rei Ayaami's frowning brow, then pinched Rei's fair cheeks

Ayanami Rei was forced out of a smiling face by Ikari Hong, and Ikari Hong said with a smile at this time

"Chick chick, give Uncle Le, Uncle is happy to buy you candy to eat"

Rei Ayanami broke Ikari's hands that were making a fool of herself on her face, pursed her lips, and turned away from him (>_
