Chapter Ninety-Six

The Third New Tokyo City Cemetery

At the exit at the east end of the cemetery, there is a semicircular tombstone that is different from all the cross tombstones

Three red-eyed men and women stood quietly in front of this semicircular tombstone, next to which three white lilies were placed

The three of them stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, and finally, the gray-haired boy broke the silence

"He once said that he wanted to be buried in China after he died"

……………………………

Seven days have passed since the last attack of the Sixteen Apostles, the Angels of the Womb, and it seems that a lot has happened in this week, and it seems that nothing has happened

Ayanami Rei recovered and woke up, Ma Tumo's body was gone, and all the EVA drivers fell into a sad state because of Ma Tumo's death

On the other hand, except for Misato Katsuragi and Maya Ibuki, the others were not so sad because of the departure of Matumo, the exclusive pilot of the No. 3 plane

During this period, the Ministry of Intelligence seemed to be interested in finding trouble with the War Department, and when the personnel of the War Department began to be interrogated one by one, Misato arrived in a rage, only to get a document from the Minister of Intelligence holding a piece of paper from Ikari Gendo

Subsequently, Ikari came here silently, rescued Lieutenant Ibuki Maya, who was being interrogated, from the handcuffed chair, and tore Commander Ikari's order in front of the Minister of Intelligence, and the armed personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence did not dare to move during the whole process

In Ikari's words: "I'm in a very bad mood right now, and if you don't want to hit the muzzle of the gun, there is no need for any of the nerv's intelligence department to exist."

As a colonel of the United Nations, the head of the intelligence department did not say a word, because he knew that if Ikari Hong wanted to kill himself and others, it would be too easy

……………………………

In the cemetery, Kaoru Nagisa whispered, "I'll be the next one to die, but even if I die, I won't be buried here."

Ikari raised his eyebrows and looked at Kaoru Nagisa

Nagisa Kaoru smiled dumbly, and said, "You don't know that I'm the last apostle, right?" ”

Rei Ayanami's face was expressionless, and Ikari Hong's brows furrowed

"Actually, this time, I really don't want to die, I don't want to die" Kaoru Nagisa continued to say to herself, "But... If you don't choose death, you won't have anything to choose for yourself, it's really sad."

"Neurotic, if you don't want to die, live well"

Ikari Hong rolled his eyes at the young man with red glasses like himself, and took Ayana's hand and left

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Nagisa Kaoru smiled, looked at Ma Tumo's tombstone at his feet, and muttered in a low voice: "Although I know it's difficult... However, he is the one who changed the script, so it should be fine."

…………………………

Ikari and Ayanami casually walked in this land that had been left in disarray by the battle between the Apostles and Eva, without saying or embarrassment

Suddenly, the communicator in Ikari Hong's arms rang, Ikari Hong was stunned, it was not a few days since the last time Yuchen contacted him to audit the human completion committee, what happened this time? When have the old people of Seele been so idle?

"Ikari Hong, you'd better come over quickly, but you must control your emotions" Yuchen's soft and magnetic voice seemed a little strange at this time

Ikari glanced apologetically at Ayana, who smiled and shook his head to show that he didn't care

Ikari Hong stroked Ayaami's fair cheeks and said softly, "I'll go see what's going on, you can go back by yourself"

Rei Ayanami thought about it and said uneasily, "Let me go with me."

Ikari hesitated for a moment, thinking that Li, who had already been able to materialize the A.T force field at this time, should have nothing to hurt her except the apostle

"Okay, let's go together"

…………………………

"We also want things to go smoothly and we don't want you to have painful memories again"

When Ikari Hong came to the slate of rain and dust, the scene he saw through the slate made his eyes crack

I saw that at the usual Seele meeting, Ikari Gentang, who was supposed to sit in the center, was replaced by a blonde woman who was not wearing an inch, and the woman's fair skin and proud figure were undoubtedly displayed in front of the twelve committee leaders

"I didn't feel humiliated..."

Listening to the woman's familiar voice, Ikari Hong's eyes turned extremely scarlet, and a strong murderous aura filled the space within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the one who stood there with **** all over his body to be interrogated was not Ritsuko Akagi, who had been silently in love with Ikari Hong?

Ikaru's arm was gently grabbed by Yuchen, who shook his head and made a silent gesture

Ikari Hong also shook his head, he knew that when interrogating a woman, if the woman was in a **** state, it would cause a sense of fear in her heart, which would lead to an increase in the probability of telling the truth, but! How did he allow the people of Seele to interrogate his best friend in this way?

"I can see that you are a woman with a strong personality, no wonder you ......" Before the second slate finished speaking, two red-eyed men and women appeared next to Ritsuko out of thin air, and at the same time, the man said coldly: "You old immortals, are you tired of living!" ”

"You... How did you get here? ”

Seele and the elders were shocked and angry when they saw the arrival of the two

Ayanami took off his white robe and draped it on the **** Ritsuko, without saying a word, coldly inspecting the surrounding stone slabs

"Xiaohong? What are you doing? The moment Ritsuko saw Ikari Hong, she only felt that her heart warmed up a lot in an instant, and at the same time, the feeling of grievance couldn't stop surging into her heart, and tears rolled in her eyes

"Ikari Hong, your father refused to answer us all questions about you and the girl next to you, so he handed over this woman as a surrogate to us" Speaker Kiel's voice was calm: "Then, it just so happens that today we have an official showdown"

"I don't need to say anything to you neurotics," Ikari Hong's face was calm, and his voice was cold

"You're so presumptuous! Your father wouldn't dare talk to us like that! Slate No. 3 said angrily

Ikari Hong looked at this mysterious stone slab with a expressionless face: "So what? You think I can't kill you? Well? ”

"Enough!" Speaker Kiel shouted: "This is the end of today's trial"

Except for the No. 1 slate, all the slabs snorted coldly and disappeared from their places

"I can forgive you for being rude today, if you want to know more, come to Seele's headquarters and come to me," Speaker Kiel said, and Slate No. 1 disappeared with it

………………………

Ikari Hong and his party returned to the NERV headquarters, and all three of them were silent along the way, Ayanami supported Ritsuko, who had a bloodless face, and Ikari Hong's face sank like water

"Rei, you take Ritsuko to change clothes first..."Ikari tried to suppress his anger

Ayanami opened her mouth to say something, but then fell silent and nodded

"Xiaohong, don't go to Commander Ikati"

Ritsuko raised her head, and her pale face made Ikari Hong feel distressed and even more angry

Ikari Hong took a deep breath and said softly, "Okay, go change your clothes and rest well, don't worry about anything else, Ritsuko"

………………………

Command of the headquarters of the NERV

Syllable!

Ikari angrily stepped over the rune of the Kabbalah Tree of Life in the center and slapped it on the table in front of Ikari Gentang

"Why ?!!"

Ikari Gentang stared coldly at the furious Ikari Hong, and did not speak, but the anger between his eyebrows was obvious

"Why ?!!" Ikari Hiroshi repeated

"What do I need to tell you why?" Ikari Gendo

Ikari Hong was stunned, this sounds a little familiar, many years ago when Ikari Gendo instigated the young Ayanami Rei to insult Naoko Akagi, he came to him, and he said the same thing...

Ikari Gentang continued to say coldly: "Do you know that because of your reckless behavior, we have completely broken with Seele!" ”

Ikari Hong snorted coldly, don't look over

"Do you know that now is not the time for a showdown with them?!!! Ikari Gendo stood up all of a sudden and slapped the table hard

"I know that no one around me can be harmed, this is true of Teacher Dongyue, this is true of blessing and good governance, and the same is true of Ritsuko!" Ikari Hong's eyes were red, and he looked directly into Ikari Gentang's eyes

Ikari Gendo seems to be much older, and the leader of the nerv, who has always given the impression of being old and strong, finally has a little old air at this time

Maybe it's because of his unsatisfactoryness, nine times out of ten, he can talk to others

…………………………

Rei Ayanami accompanied Ritsuko to the Nerv's locker room, watching Ritsuko silently take off the white coat she had draped over her body and change into her own professional suit, taking out a cigarette from her white coat and lighting it

After taking several puffs in a row, Ritsuko and Ayanami glanced at each other and smiled bitterly, "Rei... Isn't it sad for me?"

Ayanami Rei really doesn't know what to say, deep down she sympathizes with this woman who has always been at odds with her, but it's really hard to let her say something comforting

Ritsuko laughed to herself and continued, "It's obviously not a big deal, whether it's Commander Ikari handing me over to Seele, or the humiliation during the interrogation, I don't feel anything, but... Why was his arrival not aggrieved in the first place... But do you feel wronged? ”

Listening to Ritsuko's voice getting smaller and smaller, Rei Ayanami remembered that she was the same many times when she was a child, obviously not aggrieved, but when she saw Ikari Hong's eager, or worried, tears couldn't stop flowing down

………………………

Katsuragi family

Kaoru Nagisa sat on the sofa, Asuka and Shinji sat on the other side of the sofa, even if the three of them didn't speak, they didn't feel embarrassed, since Kaoru Nagisa came to NERV, the relationship with Asuka and Shinji was very good

Kaoru Nagisa squinted her eyes and hummed the tune of 'Ode to Joy', which Ma Tumo had played when he was alive, and at that time, he was really surprised a little

"Music is such a good thing that it can nourish the soul," Kaoru Nagisa said with a smile instead of humming

Shinji thought for a moment and said, "My brother said the same thing."

Nagisa Kaoru was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Ikari Hong is indeed very remarkable, very remarkable, the kind of great"

"But... Shinji-kun"

"Huh?"

"I take the liberty of saying it, it's better for you to know more about your position," Kaoru Nagisa's handsome cheeks had an indescribable sense of mystery

"Stand?" Shinji repeated, a little confused

Asuka heard this, but looked at Kaoru Nagisa with a frown

Kaoru Nagisa said softly, "As the children who have made a plan, should they continue to walk according to the planned track, or will they stand with Ikari Hong who broke the plan?" ”

Asuka trembled in her heart, planned... Sure enough, we're all dolls, think about how innocently I once laughed at Ayanami as a puppet... Why not...

Like Ayana, all of Nagisa's information has been deleted, and the only thing that has is the birthday of the same day as the second impact

The reason why Kaoru Nagisa delayed completing the task given by the Human Committee was that he wanted to verify that everything was as Seele said

By chance, he meets the representatives of humanity, Asuka and Shinji. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn her interactions with people, Kaoru Nagisa discovers the cowardice, fear, loneliness, and loneliness of human beings...... Gradually, in revealing the weaknesses of human beings, and in the reincarnation after reincarnation, he felt that maybe this time with the variable of Ikari Hong, he could completely break this endless reincarnation

Isn't Kaoru Nagisa, the one who is the apostle?
