Chapter Seventy-Three

"Are you insane?"

Listening to the authentic Chinese accent popping out of Ikari Hong's mouth, Ma Tumo was slightly stunned

"Are you Chinese? Or can you speak Chinese? ”

Ikari Hong still said with a smile

"Guess what"

Ma Tumo pursed his lips and dismissed

"Matumo? How did you end up here? Mary, who had been ignored, finally saw Ma Tumo's face clearly, and couldn't help but ask

When Ma Tumo heard this, he was confused again, this four-eyed little girl named Zhen Hibo Marie was also there

"I arrived in Japan yesterday, and now I'm the exclusive pilot of the No. 3 machine at the NERV headquarters," Ma Tumo explained, scratching his head

"That's right, then let's go together" Ikari handed the small towel to Rei and held out a hand to Ma Tumo

"Ikari Hiroshi, Deputy Director of the Operations Department of the NERV Headquarters"

Ma Tumo was stunned for a moment, so in this way, the 'rival in love' in front of him turned out to be his direct boss?

"Ma Tumo, the exclusive pilot of the No. 3 aircraft, from China"

The first time the two black-haired teenagers met, however, there was a slight spark hidden in their eyes on their calm faces

…………………

"Can it be brought in?" After coming to the NERV headquarters, Li was a little hesitant to hold the little white cat in her arms

Ikari Hong patted his head, and then remembered that animals were not allowed inside the nerv

"You can't pass the security check with it..."Ikari didn't know what to do with the small towel for a while

"Why don't you leave it to me, I also like small animals" Ma Tumo's voice is good, but I don't know why, but it is so good in Ikari Hong's ears... Well, it's not pleasant

"Let's put it in the rest room on the outer layer first," Rei Ayanami said softly, brushing the fur on the little white cat in her arms

"Well, this can be" Seeing Ma Tumo's disappointed and annoyed look, Ikari Hong smiled and nodded

……………………

Due to the existence of the Vatican Treaty, the second machine is still mothballed, and after Ma Tumo came to NERV, he was called by Ritsuko to conduct the startup test of the third machine, this time Ikari Hong is not worried, after all, the Shotel Angel has really completely dissipated this time

As the backup pilot of the second plane, Mahippo Marie has nothing to do for the time being, and is alone in the NERV headquarters to familiarize herself with the environment

"What about Shinji?" It was a little strange that he didn't see his younger brother when he was at school, and he thought he could find him in NERV, but after looking around to no avail, he couldn't help but ask

Misato felt a little relieved when she saw the 'missing' Ikari Hiroshi returning, and sighed when she heard Ikari's doubts

"Still in Asuka's hospital room"

………………

NERV Headquarters

Inside Specialty Ward 201

Shinji has been here for four days, and every day he waits in front of Asuka's hospital bed and doesn't talk to anyone

Swish!

The electronic door of the ward opened automatically, and Ikari walked in with a plate full of food

"How's that, what does the doctor say?" Ikari asked, placing the plate on the table and moving a chair to sit next to Shinji

Shinji raised his head, his godless eyes gradually regained their brightness, and he stood up and shook Ikari Hong's shoulder, expecting, "Brother, you will definitely be able to save Asuka, right?"

"You eat first," Ikari Hong frowned as he looked at Shinji, who had lost a lot of weight

Shinji didn't say anything, just looked at Ikari Hiroshi

Ikari Hong held his forehead, took a deep breath, got up and dragged Shinji aside, and said softly: "Okay, I'll see, you eat first, okay?" ”

…………………

Shinji finally walked to the door of the ward with a tray and ate it, and now for him, Ikari Hong is really the last straw

Looking at Asuka lying quietly on the bed in the ward, with her eyes closed, like a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale, Ikari Hong was a little overwhelmed for a while

Previously, through the exploration of mental power, he found that Asuka's life was fine, but the brain waves were very weak, in other words, Asuka's soul at this time had been polluted by a shotman, and with NERV's current medical methods, it was impossible to cure Asuka in a vegetative state

It's not just NERV's medical equipment, but even Ikari is not very good at this kind of treatment

Just as Ikari Hong was thinking about a good strategy, the red bracelet that was still on Asuka's wrist lit up, and a woman in a soul state emerged from the bracelet

"Hello, Aunt Kyoko, did you wake you up too?" Ikari Hong got up very politely and nodded, for this woman who is as famous as his mother Ikari and has a very similar experience, Ikari Hong is still very respectful

"It's been a long time, Ikari Hong, but why has my daughter become like this?"

The soul body with a somewhat unkind tone is none other than one of the 'Three Sages', Ryudyu Kyoko Zeppelin

She is a scientist at Project EVA Germany. When Asuka was 4 years old www.biquge.info she participated in the connection experiment of the second machine (similar to the experiment between Ikari Yui and the first machine back then)

Although she survives this experiment, she goes insane, believing that Asuka's doll is her daughter and refuses to admit that Asuka is her daughter

Kyoko Zeppelin finally hanged herself, when Asuka was trying to tell her mother the good news that she had been selected as a driver, and found her body as a result, so that she was alone on the road in Germany to seek her death, and by chance met Shinji Ikari Hong, and a series of later stories happened

Kyoko's experiment at the beginning was not luckier or more unfortunate than Ikari Yui, although she survived, but part of her soul remained in the second machine forever, and Ikari Yui's entire soul was absorbed by the first machine, which is why Kyoko who survived went crazy

A long time ago, when Ikari and Ikari took Shinji to the German NERV branch, Shinji begged Ikari to conduct the activation test of the second machine first, and Ikari found Kyoko's soul in the second machine

Unlike the first machine, the structure of the second machine is much more delicate in comparison, but it does not absorb Yui Ikati's soul as thoroughly as the first machine, which is why Ikari Hong was able to discover Kyoko at that time

At that time, the two talked a lot, and Kyoko was most relieved of her daughter, Asuka

Ikari refuses Kyoko's request to entrust her daughter to him, but he can extract Kyoko's soul from the second machine

Later, Ikari Hong found a piece of metal made of good material and made a red bracelet and put Kyoko's soul in it, and asked Shinji, who was secretly in love with Asuka at the time, to give her as a token of love, so that Kyoko could observe her daughter's life at all times

When Asuka participates in the start-up experiment of the third machine, Kyoko's soul is awakened by the hail angel again, and when she sees Ikari Hong again, she finally can't help but appear

"Why don't you speak?"

"What do you want me to say?" Ikari smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry? Didn't I protect your daughter? ”

"It's not your fault" Kyoko sighed and said, "Asuka has always been proud of being an EVA driver, and now I really can't blame you"

"But..."

Kyoko's voice changed, looking at Shinji who was eating silently at the door, thinking of his performance these days, she couldn't help but sigh softly: "I really didn't expect Shinji-kun to be so infatuated with Asuka, and you are also the same for that little girl named Li?" ”

Ikari Hong wanted to speak and stopped

The female scientist Soul, one of the 'Three Sages', continued: "I'm really sorry for this daughter before I was alive, Ikari Hong, is there a way to revive her?"

"Maybe I need your help, Aunt Kyoko," Ikari nodded, after careful consideration

"However, this way, you will not be able to soul transform again"

…………………

Shinji sat in the doorway, and the food on his plate was simply eaten in a few bites and could no longer be eaten

He vividly remembers that during Asuka's mother's funeral, Asuka's grandmother told her that she was a "strong girl" but that she could cry as much as she could

However, at the time, Asuka disagreed with this proposal and told her grandmother that she would have to take care of herself from now on

From that moment on, Shinji, who was still young, secretly made up his mind that he must protect the poor girl

However, it seems that he is still so incompetent, even after so much physical training, but his personality still seems so cowardly

Whenever she is depressed, on the contrary, it is Asuka who is a girl who tries her best to open herself, wake up her stupid self, and comfort her lost self......

"Mom!"

Shinji in the corridor suddenly heard Asuka's shout, and at this time, a voice like heaven sounded, and the plate in Shinji's hand fell to the ground with a snap, his pupils shrank, and then his eyes were full of joy

Peng!

The electronic door of the nerv hospital did not open and opened automatically, and Shinji kicked it open

"Asuka!"

Shinji rushed to the hospital bed and hugged Asuka who had woken up with both hands

Ikari Hong's expression was as usual, but the back of leaving in a hurry revealed his complicated mood at this time

Asuka stared blankly at the ceiling, slowly raising a hand to caress the boy who was hugging her and crying

"Fool, light, it hurts"

"And, thank you... Mom"

…………………

Ikari Hong's expression was slightly solemn when he came out of the ward, and when Asuka was in a coma, she was not completely unconscious, on the contrary, she heard everything that happened in the outside world clearly

For example, Shinji, who has been waiting by her side for the past few days, and for example, the conversation between herself and Kyoko in a soul state

Ikari Hong, who was thinking wildly, was startled, looked up and stared, his spiritual power spread, only to find that an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared in the city area not far from the headquarters

The Fourteenth Apostle

Coming!

…………………

Operational command room of the NERV headquarters

"Damn! Why did the apostles come so quickly this time! Maya Ibuki's eyebrows were full of sorrow

"Asuka has just woken up, and the No. 3 machine has not been tested, so I can only take out the frozen No. 2 machine and let Mary pilot it" Misato Katsuragi, the head of the War Department, suggested at this time, and Fuyutsuki usually nodded

The screen in the command room clearly shows the Fourteenth Apostle attacking at this time

He was large and terrifying, floating in mid-air, two white strapped-up arms fluttering in the wind

Ikari took a deep breath

The head of the archangel and the power angel known as the strongest apostle

It's tricky...
