Chapter Eighty-Three: Backtracking, So Persistent
Chapter 83
"Shinji, you can come here"
Shoulder-length brown hair, a pair of jet-black bright eyes, and fair but slightly wheat-colored skin, all of which work together to make Shinji feel like a spring sunshine
Looking at his mother, who vaguely resembles Ikari and Ayaba, Shinji's body can't stop trembling
Struggling to control the calm with all his strength, Shinji lowered his head, his hands clenching his fists again and again
"What's wrong? Can't you move? Ikari Yui smiled, looked at Shinji who was standing in place, and said, "Or, it's not me who you want to go."
Shinji bit his lip with his head down, blinking his eyes constantly, he really didn't want his mother to see his tears in his eyes
Finally, he couldn't help it, opened his mouth, and choked up in a hoarse voice: "Mom..."
Shinji knew that if he took a step towards his mother, then he would never be able to go back to the vast ocean behind him, and that ocean represented the real world
"I'm sorry, Mom"
The Ikari Gendo beside Ikari Yui has disappeared, and the entire beach is only the young Ikari Hong in the stroller and the young Shinji Ikari who is being held in Ikari's arms
Ikari Wei, who was dressed in white, smiled gently, like a spring breeze: "It's okay, child, no matter what you choose or do, no matter where you go, I will always watch you"
Looking at Shinji with tears slowly flowing down, Ikari Yui's pair of distant mountain eyebrows behind a stream of autumn water in an ink painting were raised and stretched out again
Actually, Ikari Yui is still a little disappointed, no way, Shinji doesn't have the soul and spiritual power as Ikari Hong, it's impossible to cause Ikari Hong and Ayanami Rei to come to his side like when the angel attacked the night before, if Shinji really went ashore, he couldn't go back...
"Listen, there's a voice calling for you from the other side of the ocean."
Shinji pursed his lips and reluctantly turned away, and just as he was about to fly towards the endless sea, a white palm pressed against his shoulder
"It's not easy to come once"
Listening to the familiar banter in his ears, Shinji looked at Ikari Hong standing in front of him in surprise
"Brother..."
Ikari Hong smiled, pulled Shinji's palm, and then flew to the beach where he couldn't go ashore with Shinji of ****
"Don't worry, although it is impossible to let you stay here for too long, but the time for a few words is still no problem"
Ikari Hong nodded and smiled at his mother, and turned back to Shinji and said
Looking at Ikari Hong, who looks like a model carved out of himself, even when he laughs, his expression is so strikingly similar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Ikari sighed complicatedly
"It doesn't prevent you from catching up with the past" Ikari walked to the stroller next to Ikari Yui, and stared at this 'past' self
Shinji wiped away his tears and looked at his mother, and for a long time, he smiled. He blinked his eyes slightly and smiled happily: "Thank you, Mom, I thought I would never see you again"
"Actually, my brother once showed me the photo he stole from my father, and you are as beautiful as you are now."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm not as good as my brother..."
Ikari listened to Shinji's words quietly, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he said softly: "You have done a good job, my mother has seen you really grow up and know more"
The waves on the distant sea add a very unseemly atmosphere to the warm picture on the beach
Ikari walked silently to Shinji's side
"Okay, it's time to go back, I can't wait any longer" Ikari Yui stretched out his hands, touched Shinji and Ikari Hong's hair, and rubbed their cheeks again, and said gently
"Forgive Mom for abandoning you when you were so young"
"Also, you will always be the pride of your mother"
Shinji took one last look at his mother, imprinted her face and smile in his mind, and then jumped up with Ikari Hong, and his body flew into the air, towards the boundless sea
Ikari was in place, staring at the backs of the two, stunned, for a long, long time
May the two children I miss be thousands of miles away from the unknown, away from all suffering, and live in peace
She thought she had just left a turning distance, but she didn't expect it to be an unbridled sea
………………………
The supervisor in charge of the salvage plan went inside, and Ritsuko muttered to herself after learning that the signal sent by Magi to the first machine was captured by geometric space and caused the alarm to sound one after another, "Did you fail again?" ”
Even she didn't know why she said the word 'again' inexplicably
Misato, who has a keen hearing, was shocked when she heard such bad news
Asuka looked at the nervous expressions on the faces of the people around her and the first machine that trembled even more, opened her mouth slightly, and then looked at Ikari Hong
Ikari was like falling asleep at this time, his body was weak, and his head was hanging on Rei Ayaami's shoulders
Although Ayanami Li didn't know why the manly aura leaning on her body was completely gone, she vaguely guessed something, and couldn't help but be even more worried
"Stop the interference, reverse the insertion pod, and reset the added value to zero!"
"Yes!"
At this time, another scene appeared that surprised everyone
The insertion bolt, which had been half-exposed, suddenly sank and sank into the EVA
"The suit is starting to pick up the signal"
"What?" Ritsuko was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to her senses: "Turn on the image inserted into the bolt"
In an instant, the home screen shows the scene of inserting the inside of the bolt
I saw that when inserted into the plug, the dark yellow LCL gradually reddened and continued to bubble, like boiling water
In the driver's seat, Shinji's control suit kept shaking and gradually filling, like a balloon that gradually filled the air
Suddenly, there was a dazzling glow from the cockpit
"What is this?" Looking at the dazzling light, although dazzling, Misato's eyes still widened
Gradually, the scope of the light became smaller, and the light became darker, but it gave people a sense of solidity, and all the light gathered in the driver's suit to condense into the shape of a person, shuttled into the driver's suit, and then turned into a semi-fluid shape, holding the driver's suit up
Right now!
"The pressure in the cockpit is rising!" Aoba shouted
"Terminate the job! Cut off the power! Ritsuko saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly gave an order, otherwise if it was forcibly salvaged, Shinji Ikari would lose his life
Maya turned her head sharply and said anxiously, "No! The cockpit has been automatically discharged! ”
"What ?!!" Hearing this, Ritsuko hurriedly looked up
The cockpit door of the first machine was forcibly opened, and the dark yellow LCL poured out of it frantically, and at the same time, a special pilot combat suit for the first plane Shinji Ikari flowed out of the cabin, and the combat suit fell on the ground of the main control room with a shriveled drop, accompanied by the LCL solution, which looked particularly weird
"Shinji!" Seeing this, Misato and Asuka were terrified, and the two women quickly ran under the cockpit
Misato picked up the driver's suit on the ground and whimpered and cried: "No one can save me, what kind of science is this!" Give Shinji back! ”
Misato said, looking up and shouting hysterically, "Give it back to me!!" ”
Asuka was stunned, her face full of disbelief, and she muttered to herself, "Impossible, Shinji won't just die... He, he also said that he would take me all over the world..."
At the same time as the second daughter was sad, Ikari Hong, who had been leaning on Ayanami Rei silently, suddenly trembled, and then the whole person stood up, moaned in pain, groaned, and complained: "I almost didn't come back"
Rei Ayanami gently wiped the sweat from Ikarihiro's forehead with her sleeve
"What are they doing? Crazy? Ikari Hiroshi was a little confused when he saw the sad looks of Misato and Asuka
Rei Ayana: .........
"Hey! You two" Ikari Hong shouted at the second daughter: "Get rid of it, are you blind?" ”
Misato looked back at Ikari angrily, and Asuka followed Ikaru's finger
I saw Shinji Ikari lying on his stomach not far from his combat uniform
Asuka immediately rushed over, but was almost knocked down by the LCL discharged from the cockpit halfway through.
But she didn't mind, stumbled a few times, came to Shinji, crouched down and hugged Shinji
At this point, the intensified data and instruments were back to normal, but no one paid any attention to them
"Succeeded, Senpai" Maya wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Ritsuko happily
"Hmm" Ritsuko was puzzled by the situation just now, but when she saw Shinji return safely, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she took a deep look at Ikari Hong, who was full of exhaustion. He didn't do anything the whole time, but the intuition of the Ritsu told him that if it weren't for him, the salvage plan might not have succeeded
"Shinji ......" Asuka hugged Shinji tightly, and tears flowed down instantly
"Hmm... Hmm..."
Hearing Shinji's gasping voice so weakly, Asuka felt distressed for a while and hugged her tighter
Seeing Shinji's sudden violent breathing, Ikari Hong couldn't help but remind Asuka loudly: "You can suffocate him with a little more force"
Asuka was stunned, and subconsciously lowered her head, it turned out that when Asuka was just hugging Shinji, she hugged his head, and then pressed it in her arms and ...... tightly
Asuka couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the tears and her blushing cheeks
Everyone looked at the joke happily, and the previously tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated
…………………
When Shinji opened his eyes again, he felt calm when he looked at the white lights on the ceiling
It's here again.,I'll have to discuss with my brother when I find a chance to change this ward to Shinji Ikari only.
It was quiet inside the special first ward, and the birdsong outside could not penetrate it
Remembering what had happened before, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled
Shinji turned his head, Asuka has been twelve hours since Shinji was salvaged and now, and Asuka doesn't know if she is asleep or not, she just feels that these twelve hours have passed too slowly, too slowly
"You're awake"
The two looked at each other and smiled, the landscape was gentle
Shinji raised his hand and stroked Asuka's obviously emaciated cheek, and suddenly the whole person stood on the spot
No, it's not! Asuka's left eye...
I saw Asuka's originally radiant blue eyes, but at this time, the left eye had no sky blue color, and the whole eyeball and the whites of the eyes were integrated, like... No, it's like I'm blind
"What's going on?" Shinji sat up from the bed and asked anxiously
Asuka was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "Huh? What the? Oh, that's what you say..."
Stretched out her hand and rubbed her left eye, which couldn't see anything at this time, she forced a smile: "Since I woke up, I have been blurry in my vision, and then I have been completely blind, and the doctor said that the apostle's spiritual pollution has expanded there, but it should not expand again..."
Shinji took Asuka in his arms in distress, biting his lip and unable to speak
Asuka, who was holding and had some difficulty breathing, did not struggle, and comfortingly patted Shinji who was trying to restrain her choked throat: "It's okay, Shinji, but... You can't stop me just because I'm ugly..."
Hearing this, Shinji shook his head vigorously and hugged the woman in his arms even harder
Asuka smiled bitterly, remembering the way Shinji Ikari had just been salvaged from the cockpit half a day ago, and she hugged him tightly
This time, I'm going to let you come back
………………
The top floor of the NERV headquarters
Ikari Hong walked out of Ikari Gentang's office with a very strange face
"What's wrong?" In the dark corner of the corridor on one side, Ikari Hong saw Blessing standing there against the wall, glanced at Ikari Hong, then smiled, withdrew his gaze, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it
"Isn't it forbidden to smoke here?" Ikari muttered quietly, and walked over to the blessing, without answering his previous greeting
"I heard you're going to the China branch?" Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Blessing took out his ID card from his pocket and looked at his name on it carefully
"The news spreads too fast...... "Ikari Hong didn't finish speaking, and reacted that something was wrong, impossible, he just learned about it from his father, and it was impossible to know about it theoretically
The blessing didn't care about Ikaru's strange appearance, thinking about the mission instructions he had received nearly a month ago, and the blessing felt a gloom in his heart
He looked at the red ID card in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The last job, it's just ...... Is it as red as blood! ”
Ikari Hong took the cigarette off his mouth and looked at him solemnly
"I don't know what you're going to do, but I have a bad feeling."
"From childhood to adulthood, as long as this premonition appears, the people around me will leave me, Tianshui side"
"Bless, please, don't do anything stupid"
Blessing looked at Ikari Hong's eyes that were getting darker and darker until they were scarlet, smiled bitterly, and shook his head
Ikari Hong was helpless, said no more, and turned to leave
Blessing glanced at the surrounding scene without a trace, looked at the back of Ikari Hong's departure, sighed deeply, he bowed slightly, and said calmly: "I'm sorry... I have my troubles."
