Chapter 137: The Trajectory of Fate

"The ceiling, again the familiar ceiling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "On the hospital bed, the slightly pale man opened his red eyes.

"Huh? Leigh, wake up. Feeling better? At the bedside, Asuka closed the book in her hand and looked at Li.

"Asuka? Well. I don't have any problems. Rei sat up slightly, and Asuka hurriedly raised her pillow to make Rei sit more comfortably. And what about the battle with the apostles? ”

"Of course it's a win~" Asuka grinned. "It was Shinji who came up with the solution, and then it was solved by me and the pilot of the sixth machine."

"Is that so?" Leigh smiled faintly. "What about Shinji?"

"Hey. I really think about Shinji when I open my eyes. Asuka said slyly, but it made Li's face red. Peace of mind, that stinky boy has just been called out by the pilot of the sixth machine. I've been with you just now, and it's not long since I left. ”

"Huh?" Leigh was slightly surprised. Immediately after that, Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Huh? What's wrong? Asuka Miri's expression was a little solemn, and she asked subconsciously.

"No, nothing." Leigh shook her head. "If it's Shinji, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Hey... I always feel like you're hiding something from me. Asuka raised an eyebrow. Could it be that the pilot of the sixth machine will be bad for Shinji? ”

"No, it won't." Leigh shook her head slightly. "Even if all the people in the world will plot against Shinji, Kaoru Nagisa will not be the one to make a move on Shinji."

"Hey." Asuka wondered. Then suddenly the alarm "Masaka, Kaoru Nagisa is.。?! ”

"Hmph~Heh~Hmph~ What are you thinking about Asuka." Looking at Asuka's shocked look, Rei laughed softly. "I mean, Kaoru Nagisa won't be bad for Shinji."

"Really, don't always say such misleading things." Asuka said with a slight flush on her cheeks. "Forget it, I believe that Shinji's strength will not be unexpected. It's just that... ”

"Just?"

"Well, yes, Leigh." After thinking about it, Asuka still spoke. "Do you know anything about Shinji's past?"

"Before?" Leigh wondered. "Did you meet Shinji before?"

"No, no, no." Asuka shook her head, "I mean, Shinji, before I came here, before I was born. Looking at Asuka's nervous appearance, Rei thought about the uncomfortable feeling of sitting in the first machine. And those things I read when I was with Shinji some time ago. "I haven't heard Shinji talk about it, but I can feel it. What kind of person was Shinji before he came to this world. ”

"Hey?!" Asuka exclaimed. "Wouldn't you mind, then?"

"Mind that? Why? Rei tilted her head to look at Asuka. Shinji is Shinji. No matter what he was before. It doesn't matter what it will become in the future. As long as he's still Shinji, wouldn't it be good? ”

"Hmmm... That's how to say it. Asuka said dissatisfiedly with her hands around her chest. It's just that when you think about it, Shinji's age adds up to almost thirty years old now, right? It feels like an uncle, I'm just... ”

"Hmph, hahahaha~" Rei smiled, a rare laugh. It's also rare to relax down. Rei smiled happily. Especially, during this time period. This kind of belongs to the tranquility and frolicking between two young girls.

"Really, what are you laughing at?" Asuka's cheeks were slightly red, and then she pounced on her and scratched the itch on Rei's body, and the two girls got together. A beautiful landscape has been formed. It adds a touch of vibrancy to this tranquil hospital. It's a pity that Shinji didn't see this scene. Because on the other side, Shinji is dealing with something else at this moment.

------------------------------------------------------a.t.field-----------------------------------------------------

"Kaoru, you're looking for me?" On the mother bridge of the machine six hangar, Shinji looked at Kaoru Nagisa, who was facing away from him.

"Yes, Shinji-kun Ikari." Kaoru Nagisa turned around with a smile.

"Huh? Is there something wrong? Shinji said flatly.

"Nothing, just wanted to ask you. Do you have any thoughts about the apostles? ”

"Hey... It's really straightforward enough. Shinji spread his hands and smiled. After closing his eyes, the ease and helplessness immediately appeared on his face. "So, should I call you Kaoru Nagisa or Tablis? Or ... Call you Adam! As he spoke, Shinji's eyes suddenly opened, and two flashes of scarlet luster appeared in his pupils.

"Hehe, if you like it, you can call it whatever you want." Kaoru said to Shinji with a smile. The tone was very calm, and there was no intention of being angry at Shinji's words. "Shinji-kun, as I said, I came to this world to meet you."

"Well... Now that the words have been clarified. I'm not hiding it. Shinji pouted. Tablis, did you come here to make contact with that guy in the final dogma? ”

"Yes, that's my calling." Kaoru Nagisa nodded. "It is the destiny of our apostles to be united with Adam, and so are you, Shinji-king. The only difference is that you also have the fruit of wisdom. This takes you out of the trajectory of your destiny instead. I really envy you. ”

"Envy? What do you mean by that? Shinji was puzzled.

"Because you can choose your own destiny." Nagisa said yearningly. "If I follow in the footsteps of fate, then I will be your enemy, but as I said earlier, I came to this world to meet you."

“。。。 so？ ”

"So, although the other messengers have failed, I still want to invite you again. Shinji-kun Ikari, you want you to join... ”

"I refuse." Shinji cut off. "After Raleiel helped me recover my memory, I realized that I still had a lot to figure out. So, until I get to the bottom of the facts, I won't join you. Of course, when I found out, I didn't plan to join, after all, there were so many people around me that I cared about, and I didn't have any reason to leave them. ”

"Heh~ It's really the real heir." As if Kaoru Nagisa had known Shinji's answer for a long time, she was not surprised at all, nor did she mean to continue to persuade her. "So, Shinji-kun. I'm sorry I'm going to be your enemy next. Kaoru Nagisa said indifferently, as if she didn't have the slightest hostility towards Shinji.

"Well... Actually, I want to ask too. Is it true that apostles and humans cannot coexist? Shinji stretched out his hand and scratched his head, looking unscrupulous. Unlike the previous apostles, Tablis, you have the form of a human. You must have evolved enough self-awareness, right? ”

"Yes. In order to survive, Lilith's clones and I have evolved, no, it should be said that with the help of Li Lin, we have evolved to this point. ”

"In that case, why can't you be like Leigh? They are all souls, so don't they have the right to choose themselves? ”

"Lilith is because she has a contract with Li Lin. And I had to fulfill my mission. That's all. ”

"Can't we live in peace with humans?"

"Li Lin is a product of Lilith's betrayal of Adam. Although they belong to Adam, they cannot return. In order to survive, Li Lin could only seal Adam. to fight against the rest of the messengers. Lilith's betrayal prevents her from returning to her former form. That's why he signed a contract with Li Lin. And we return to Adam so that we can live. It's a race for survival. I have no choice. ”

"If you say that ... Still can't coexist? ”

"The power of the Heart Wall is too strong for the fragile soul of a human being to bear. So they are cowardly, cowardly. Asking for help has created a greater gap between hearts. Once the messenger resonates with the wall of the heart, Li Lin will dissolve into the sea of LCL in an instant. Shinji-kun, is such a weak Li Lin really worth it for you to rebel against fate for him? ”

“。。。。。。” Shinji didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Kaoru Nagisa quietly, and Kaoru Nagisa also looked at Shinji indifferently, he knew that Shinji needed to think at this time.

"Yes." After a long time, Shinji spoke. “。。 Humans, weakness is one of their emotions, however, timidity and cowardice are not all they have. They also have a strong, brave side. So, they deserve the right to live. And, as a human being. It is necessary for me to stand by my compatriots and remove all obstacles that deprive them of their lives. Shinji's gaze is certain." Tablis, I can understand your thoughts, and after receiving the fruits of life, I understand why you are returning to Adam. However, I still choose to be on the side of humanity. Because, here are the people I love. There's a presence I'm worth fighting for! ”

"When you return to Adam, you can still feel their presence. And it's all the way you want it to be. Why cling to the status quo? ”

"What's the point of that?" Shinji smiled. "If the wall of the heart is lost, there will be no more obstacles between the hearts of people, and consciousness will disappear in the LCL as you hope. So what's the difference with the extinction of humanity? I know that there is a lot of suffering in the human world. However, that doesn't mean they can be happy by merging alone. Happy. Each person has an independent consciousness, and this is the greatest gift that the fruit of wisdom gives to mankind. ”

“。。。 However, King Li Lin didn't think so. After a pause, Kaoru Nagisa continued. Shinji-kun, you should know your father's purpose, right? ”

"Well, I know, so as a child of fate, I hope to be able to personally turn the wheel of fortune and change the ending of the script. To create a world where apostles and humans can coexist. Tablis, if you can give up. I need your help. ”

Shinji had already sent an invitation to Kaoru Nagisa, but the answer he got was as simple as if he had rejected him.

"I'm sorry Shinji-kun. Although I am an angel of freedom, under the constraints of fate, I will eventually go to the path of becoming a god or perdition. The only choice you can have is your own life and death. So, Shinji-kun, let me see your determination! Kaoru Nagisa smiled. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll officially head to Final Dogma to return to Adam. And I only hope that you will be the one who can fight me in the end. Whether you appear as an emissary or as the pilot of the first EVA aircraft, I will wait for you. Of course, don't make me wait too long. Otherwise, the trajectory of fate will push me to the point where I lose my only freedom. With that, Kaoru Nagisa passed by Shinji and slowly left the hangar of Machine Six.

“。。。 Tablis, you. Turning around, Shinji looked at the departing boy, his brows tightly furrowed. A little helplessness flashed in his scarlet eyes.

"Really. . . Can't we coexist? ”

"Yes." Outside the hangar gate, Kaoru Nagisa finally turned around, his equally scarlet eyes revealing deep reluctance and sadness. "Because, we are all children bound by fate." (To be continued.) )
