Chapter 131 Contract

"Shinji! You have to stay here! "It was a woman's voice. But it obviously doesn't belong to Ikari Yui, it's an extremely irritable voice. Not only is he irritable but also depressed, as if he wants to crush Shinji to the ground.

What appeared in front of Shinji at this moment was a giant who was almost the same height as EVA, with a hideous and ugly face.

Looking at the huge figure in front of him, Shinji didn't feel frightened, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Looking up at the hideous man on the other side, Shinji said lightly, "No, Lilith. ”

"Hmm!" The huge body shuddered suddenly. Then only Shinji was heard to continue.

"Even if you still have your own consciousness in your body, switching directly like this will affect both you and my mother." Shinji looked up at the giant in front of him, yes, this giant was Lilith's doppelganger.

"You know everything?"

"Guess it." Shinji chuckled. "Also, I've been on Zero before. Inside you is the consciousness of your soul. I've learned a lot since that time, especially you, Lilith, because the forbidden pact you signed with humans ......"

"Enough!" The giant immediately roared out and interrupted Shinji, and then, the furious voice softened and became a soft voice back to Ikari Yui. "Shinji, don't say any more."

"Mom?" Shinji frowned slightly, and then he was relieved. "No, it should be Li. This voice. Oh, yes, it's Lilith. Why, are you willing to talk to me calmly? Shinji smiled. Let's change back to the normal size first. ”

Listening to Shinji's words, the giant, that is, Lilith, was silent for a long time, and finally. The huge body was getting smaller and smaller. The height of a normal person has been restored, and the image, of course, is still Ikari Yui. It's just that the eyes are red. His expression was even more cold.

"This is your human form?" Shinji raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Different from the mature charm of Ikari Yui, Lilith's voice at this moment is closer to Lilith's innocence.

"Why my mom? Shouldn't it be more like Li? Shinji made a rare joke.

"For what is in my body is the soul of this man." Lilith didn't explain much. "Although I also have the consciousness of Lili in your mouth, but now this soul is more profound."

“…… All right. Let's not talk about that. Shinji shrugged his shoulders indifferently. So...... Why don't you let me go? ”

"Contract."

"Give it up." Shinji is equally concise. "From the moment you sign the contract, you are doomed. Do you think it's really possible for my dad to return humanity to Adam? ”

"......" Lilith did not speak.

"The fruit of life, and the fruit of wisdom. When these two appear in the same person, you know what that means. Shinji began to get serious.

“…… What do you want to do? After a long time, Lilith spoke.

"It's not what I want, it's what you want, how you want to give up this contract." Shinji frowned slightly.

“…… What are you afraid of? Lilith didn't change her face. If you can really become a god, then my existence will not hinder you at all......" Halfway through her words, Lilith suddenly stopped. Because she saw Shinji's expression and seemed to say, "What do you think?" In an instant, Lilith understood.

"Let's make a deal." Shinji said seriously. "Tell me what you want to give up this contract."

"Body, and soul." Lilith replied indifferently. "And then I'll get out of here."

"Leigh's soul can't be given to you. Neither can my mother's. ”

"That's my soul, we're all one." Lilith was displeased. "And there is no one else in Li Lin who can bear my current body."

"Isn't that still me?"

"You?" Lilith was puzzled.

"yes." Shinji is calm. "If you really can't help it, just take my soul."

"......" Lilith didn't speak, just looked at Shinji flatly.

"How?" Shinji didn't understand Lilith's expression at the moment.

"If you do. What else does it mean to her? ”

“…… Perhaps. At least, she was able to live. ”

"Yui?"

"My dad will stop for this."

“…… Is it worth it? ”

"Of course." Shinji didn't hesitate.

“…… Okay, I agree. After thinking about it, Lilith agreed with Shinji's words. What do you want me to do? ”

"Let's become Li's appearance first." Shinji smiled. Although she didn't know why, Lilith didn't refuse, but closed her eyes. Soon, Lilith's appearance emitted a soft light, and then, the body continued to shrink, and finally. When the light faded, an identical Rei appeared in front of Shinji.

"Mm-hmm, that's a lot more convenient." Shinji smiled, then walked towards Lilith. Then, gently hugged her into his arms.

"Huh?" Lilith was slightly surprised. But she didn't push Shinji away, and soon, Lilith understood Shinji's intentions. And inadvertently. At the corner of Lilith's mouth, a smile of relief gradually appeared. Closing her jewel-like red eyes, Lilith gently leaned on Shinji's shoulder, and after a long time, Shinji gently pushed Lilith away and said lightly to her.

"Understood?"

"Yes." With a beautiful smile, Lilith said softly. "That'...... I'll leave it to you. ”

"Ah, don't worry. I'll take care of everything. ”――

A.T.Field――

"Well, I'll go back first, Mom. It's a real pleasure to see you again. "After reaching an agreement with Lilith, Shinji is ready to leave here, although everything here is so comfortable, but. Shinji understands that in the outside world, there are still people waiting for him to return, and unfinished business. Of course, after talking to Lilith, Shinji also asks for Ikari Yui's consciousness to be exchanged. Talk to your mom.

"Well, mom is also very happy to see Xiao Zhen who has grown up." Yui Ikari reached out and gently touched Shinji's cheek. "I'm sorry, Xiao Zhen, I gave you life and let you come to this world, but I can't give you the happiness you want, I'm really derelict as a mother."

"Don't say that, Mom." Shinji laughed. "Being able to come into this world, for your children, is the happiest thing in my life. Actually, I'm the one who says I'm sorry. If it weren't for me......" Before Shinji could finish speaking, Yui Ikari reached out to stop him.

"Okay, Xiaozhen, don't say such a bad thing with your mother." Yui smiled. "Go, Shin, Rei and Asuka are still waiting for you. Don't keep them waiting too long. ”

"Yes, I'm leaving." Shinji nodded. "I don't know if I'll have a chance to meet my mother again in the future."

"There will be, I believe you." Yui Ikari's smile was very gentle.

"Ah, I thought so too." With a happy smile. Shinji's body slowly disappeared into the ocean of LCL.

And the other side......

"EVA is starting to reject signals! The self-composition of the LCL gradually decomposes, and the intrabolic pressure increases. It's time to open the hatch! ”

"Turn off the power! Stop all work! ”

"No, the opening signal can't be blocked, and the plug will be discharged!"

Click. Hiss!!!

The opening of the insertion plug is accompanied by a gushing of LCL solution. This means that the experiment has failed.

"No !!" In the command room, Misato shouted heartbreakingly. Immediately rushed into the laboratory and looked at the LCL all over the floor, Misato's heart twitched constantly.

He didn't come back. That's for her. The boy who fought to the death for the sake of all mankind did not return. All that remained in front of her eyes was a combat suit that had been soaked in the LCL.

Picking up the battle uniform, Misato couldn't stop crying. On the battle suit, the residual temperature of the LCL solution seemed to tear Misato's heart apart, but no matter how she shouted. The boy with a sunny and smiling face didn't show up.

The high platform of the laboratory. A touch of bright blue also saw the whole process of the whole experiment. And behind the bright blue, there is a smear of silver ash.

"Looks like he doesn't want to come back." Kaoru Nagisa looked at the experiment in front of her indifferently. "Why is that? Could it be the other one you used to keep him by forceful means? ”

"No, he stayed there of his own free will." Leigh whispered. "I can feel it. She didn't force Shinji to stay, but Shinji chose to stay there. ”

"Oh?" Kaoru Nagisa was slightly surprised. "But that's it. The experiment is over. Shinji-kun may have to stay with another you for the rest of your life. ”

"It's okay." Leigh's red eyes flickered. "I think I can make Shinji hear." As she spoke, she raised her slender wrist and aimed it at the first machine. The jewel-like red eyes shimmered brighter.

"Stop!" Kaoru Nagisa grabbed Rei's raised wrist. "Are you crazy? With your current ability to use the power of your heart, your body will not be able to hold it! ”

“…… Never mind. Rei gently shook Kaoru Nagisa's hand away. Even if it's death, I'll want Shinji back, even if it's just to see him again. With that, Leigh raised her hand again.

"Alas...... I know. Kaoru Nagisa sighed slightly. Let me do it anyway. ”

"Huh?" Leigh was slightly surprised.

"Giving Shinji-kun the happiness of one person, this is the only purpose of my here." Kaoru Nagisa turned around and looked at the first machine. "I think he should be happy now. That's why I didn't bother him. But if it is the power of your heart that calls Shinji-kun back from happiness, she will definitely be sad when she sees you almost broken. So let me do this kind of thing. ”

"Do you want to cause a shock?" Rei looked at Kaoru Nagisa with some indifference.

"How is that possible?" Kaoru Nagisa shook her head helplessly. "That's not what he wanted to see. So I'm not going to do that. And with my ability, it is very simple to suppress the other you. As he spoke, Nagisa Kaoru raised his hand, his silver-gray hair was windless, and the whole person floated slightly and stopped in the air, but this state did not last long. In less than ten seconds, Kaoru Nagisa fell.

"Well...... It doesn't seem like we need to do it. Kaoru Nagisa smiled and looked at the plug that had been opened. He himself returned. ”

"Huh?" Hear the words. Leigh looked at where the plug was inserted. I saw that Shinji, who was red all over his body, was slowly getting up from the plug. Also stretched a big lazy waist.

"Let's go see him." Kaoru Nagisa and Rei are staggered. Turned around and walked out. "He must have missed you, that's why he came back from the other you."

"Shinji ......" There was a tear in her eyes, and Rei also left the platform and ran towards Shinji.

"Hmm...... Ah......" Shinji, who got up from the plug, stretched lazily. "Whew...... Sure enough, it's still good outside, and I feel a lot easier to breathe. ”

"Really...... Shinji? Underneath Shinji, a call of surprise came into Shinji's ears. When he heard the sound, he saw that Misato was looking at him excitedly.

"Yo, Misato-san." Shinji grinned and jumped out of the plug to greet Misato warmly, "It feels like I haven't seen you in a long time...... Wow...... Don't pounce like that, I'm not wearing clothes! Everybody is watching. Ignoring Shinji's shouts, Misato instantly pounced and hugged Shinji in his arms. Tears, I don't know if it's joy or excitement.

“…… Unexpectedly, he actually came back on his own. "Commander-in-Chief's Office, Deputy Commander Dongyue frowned slightly." Finally awakened? ”

"Ah, I'll have to arrange an examination for him right away." Ikari Gendu is still indifferent.

"It's not going to affect our plans, is it?"

"......" Ikari Gendu didn't speak, just silently looked at his right hand. As long as the contract remains, our plans will not change. (To be continued.) )
