Chapter 124: Another World (Part II)

In the hospital, Shinji caresses Asuka's cheek, and her words are filled with endless tenderness. Listening to the girl's breathing, Shinji felt extremely calm at this moment.

"I'm sorry Asuka, I've been hiding this from you because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that when I tell you all this, you'll think I'm ridiculous, I'm afraid you'll leave me because of this, but, even so, I want to tell you all this, whether you believe it or not." Shinji kissed Asuka on the side of her face. "You know what? Just after being alone with you for the first time, my heart for you is no longer the girl I once was, but you, Asuka, who occupy the place in my heart. I like you, as much as Leigh, and I'm sorry I can't choose between the two of you because you all have the same place in my heart. And, let me tell you a secret. At this point, tears welled up in Shinji's eyes. Leigh has already taken the last step with me, hey, isn't there some jealousy? So, Asuka, come back quickly. Please...... Come back. ”

Shinji hugged Asuka tightly, it seemed that as soon as he let go a little, the girl would leave him, yes, the time for Asuka's brainwave recovery had passed, and perhaps, she wouldn't wake up in her life. Shinji's tears flowed uncontrollably, wetting Asuka's hair scattered on the head of the bed. It also extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

Despite the raging war outside, it did not affect the tranquility of this place, and in this place dotted with countless sorrows, a young man cried silently, and he rarely shed tears in his life. And at the moment he is crying like a child. Ling Yun in the previous life has lost too much, and the true heir of this life really doesn't want to lose it again.

In the silent room, only the sound of Shinji sobbing. If God can wake Asuka awake, Shinji is willing to do it no matter what the cost. Yeyue gave him a new life, but she made a little joke with him, the loss of the previous life, the gain of this life. But to such an end, Shinji's heart felt as if it had been crushed by ten thousand sharp blades. But he was powerless, and the sobs gradually increased, a young man who was burdened and had always been calm. At this moment, the softest string in his heart broke off.

I don't know how long it took, but the sobbing gradually stopped, leaving only two people to snuggle tightly. "Asuka. I know you're tired, and I know you want to sleep a little longer. That's why you don't want to wake up, right? Shinji rubbed Asuka's cheek. Sleep, my favorite person, I will always be here to watch over you, no matter what the world becomes, I will not leave you, definitely. So...... Let's sleep in peace. I will always pass on the warmth to you. After the words. Shinji didn't say anything more, hugging Asuka lightly. Shinji closed his eyes in despair, and the room was quiet again.

Maybe it's because of Shinji's words just now, or maybe the gods really heard Shinji's prayers. Just the next minute, or the next second, the fingers of the girl lying on the bed trembled slightly. Followed by......

“…… Fool. ”

The whispering that seemed to be like a heavenly sound made Shinji froze fiercely. The trembling hands once again hugged the person in his arms.

"Stupid Shinji, tap...... It hurts. ”

"Asuka ......" was replied, and Shinji's tears flowed again. Asuka, is that you? ”

"Stupid, who else is there but me?" Again. Shinji heard the murmuring of the song again. Beyond the prime time given by Ritsuko, Asuka recovered. The clear blue eyes are still so bright, and the recovery of brain waves makes this girl who has been sleeping for three days finally wake up leisurely.

"Asuka...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" keeps apologizing and constantly repenting, which doesn't seem to reduce the guilt in Shinji's heart. But at least it can soothe the emotions in Shinji's heart.

"So...... Asuka's weak words reached Shinji's ears again." It's lighter, it's painful. With that, Asuka backhanded and stroked Shinji's head. I've heard it all. The corners of Asuka's mouth hung a faint arc. You bastard, you really like Lido. ”

"No, no." Shinji got up, rubbed his eyes, and wiped the tears from his eyes. Said to Asuka. "Actually, I prefer you a little more."

"Don't say these perfunctory things at this time...... I don't believe it. Asuka smiled weakly at Shinji's words.

"It's true." As he spoke, Shinji lowered his head and kissed Asuka's somewhat pale lips. "When you come back, I'll promise you whatever you want."

"Nasty, flamboyant." Asuka reached out and pinched Shinji's soft flesh. "Now, Shinji, is everything you just said true?" After a moment of calm, Asuka asked.

“…… Well, it's all true. After thinking about it, Shinji gave Asuka an affirmative reply, rubbing the girl's hair while petting it. I...... It is true that people from this world came here because of an accident. You may not believe it, but it's true. If...... If you can't accept this, then I'm ......."

"Does Liz know about this?"

"I don't know......," Shinji thought for a moment. I didn't tell her, but ...... I think she should know. Through the first machine. ”

"EVA......" Asuka looked up at the ceiling. It's a terrible thing, what the hell has humanity made? ”

"Asuka...... I'm sorry. At this point, Shinji's eyes showed a hint of gloom.

"Fool......" Asuka smiled weakly again. I felt the tremors from the very beginning, was it the apostles calling? Go and help, if the apostles come in, we'll all be finished. ”

"But...... You've just recovered, and I'm ......" Shinji still seemed a little uneasy.

"Okay, I'm really fine." Asuka reached out and wiped the tears from Shinji's face. "Go and help, it's hard for Liz to deal with the apostle alone, if something happens to her, I won't spare you."

"I'm ......" Shinji hesitated, "Asuka, don't you really care about me?" ”

"Why should I care? Shinji. Are you really stupid? Asuka seemed to regain her strength, and just wanted to sit up, but found that she was still a little weak, and seeing this, Shinji hurriedly helped her over. But before Shinji could make a move, a slightly heated kiss was imprinted on the corner of his mouth.

"The man I identify. It's mine, and you want to get rid of me and run away after eating Leigh? Tell you, there are no doors. After saying that, Asuka bit Shinji's lip hard.

There was a slight pain at the corner of his mouth, but Shinji felt a hint of warmth.

"Go ahead, and don't forget what you just said." The corners of Asuka's mouth showed a hint of cunning that she hadn't seen for a long time. "When you come back from defeating the apostles, I want you to tell me everything about yourself."

"Asuka ......" moved, this word can no longer describe Shinji's current mood. Life has a confidant, what more can a husband ask for? "I see. Wait for me. I'll come back. Leaving Asuka with a deep kiss, Shinji snatched the door out. Run towards NERV's headquarters. But he didn't know when he would come back.

――――――――――――――――――A.T.Field―――――――――――――――――

On the other side, at the same time as the second machine was fighting with the Apostles. The NERV side is also urgently repairing Zero and using the Dummy.system to control the first one, but their melee combat is not going well, and time passes by minute by minute. The war is imminent, and Rei has already attacked. However, the first machine still refuses to be controlled by Dummy.system.

"The plug position cannot be fixed, and the Dummy.system connection signal is rejected. No, the reset doesn't work! "In the hangar of the first machine, the operators were nervously debugging the site, connecting again and again, but it did not go as smoothly as the first time. The first machine was not controlled by Dummy.system at all.

"Go ahead and start over with the 308th system." On the console, Yuandu Ikari, who had long since left his seat, stared nervously at the data page of the first machine, but the red signal on the screen told him that this connection was not as smooth as he imagined. "Why...... Why reject me. First he rejected Li, and then he rejected me, Yui. What the hell are you thinking! ”

Brush......

It's just that in an instant, the monitors all over the screen have changed, and only one person's influence appears in the picture one by one, Shinji, that's the only desire of the first machine.

"That's it, your answer?" Looking at the screen of the entire control room, Ikari Gendu was stunned.

"Whew...... It doesn't seem to be as smooth as I thought. A contemptuous voice came from the hangar of the first machine. When I heard the sound, I saw Shinji running from the hospital, facing the first machine, looking up at his father. "What's wrong? Deprived me of the right to drive, but it ended up where I am now? Father. What do you want to say? Shinji looked at his father on the stage, and there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, but a touch of evil and contempt.

"Why are you here, Shinji." Ikari Gendu frowned.

"It is the duty of the elite to save the foolish." Shinji chuckled. "Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, the battle above is not optimistic, if you don't want to win this battle, just continue to consume with me, if you still want to live, it's better to get that black thing out of the body of the first machine quickly!"

“…… Convert the plug to a driver-specific hit. After a moment of silence, Gento Ikari decided to listen to Shinji's advice this time, because if he continued to obses, his plan would fail.

"Hmph, that's right......" Without further ado, Shinji quickly ran to the driver's platform. In less than two minutes, Shinji was in the plug and got on EVA again. As soon as the system was connected, he heard Misato's screams.

"Leigh, no!" Shinji was shocked by a heart-rending shout, and before the first machine could move to the launch pad, Shinji controlled the powerful A.T. Field, conjured up the wings of light, and flew up the passage of the relay station towards the battle site where the zero was located. In just a few tens of seconds, Shinji saw the battle between Machine Zero, Machine Two, and the Apostle outside, and the huge N2 explosion made Shinji's pupils shrink fiercely, and coincidentally, Machine Two bit the last layer of the Apostle's A.T. Field. The moment N2 Thunder came into contact with the Apostle, Shinji freed the Wings of Light and poured all his power into the A.T. Field, erecting a thick wall of colored light in front of Zero. Although the N2 Thunderbolt is powerful enough to overturn half of the armed city. However, in front of the apostle, neither machine zero nor machine number two received the slightest damage. With just one defense, Shinji brought all the disadvantages back.

"I'm sorry, Rei, Misato-san. I'm late. (To be continued......)
