Chapter 81: Good Night, EVA
Yui Ikari's "resurrection" didn't have much of an impact on NERV, in fact, almost no one in NERV knew about Yui Ikari except for core members like Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki and Ritsuko.
As the days passed, the rebuilding of NERV went well. At the same time, the government has also begun to carry out drastic reforms to NERV.
Out of fear of the power of EVA, the United Nations introduced the "EVANGELION Prohibition Act" after some discussion, and decided to ban all use and research and development of EVA, and the four existing EVA, Lilith and Longinus guns will all sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and seal them forever. NERV no longer exists as a top-secret secret agency, but has been reformed and reorganized into a new scientific research institution, still affiliated with the United Nations, and continues to study the evolution of life.
Although Ikari Gendo still controls NERV, at this time he can no longer be called "Commander", but should be called "Dean of the NERV Research Institute". Dongyue rejected the title of "vice president", saying that since everything is over, he wants to return to his old profession on campus, that is, a teacher, of course, this does not mean that he has left NERV, he still has the title of "consultant" in NERV.
After Dongyue refused the appointment, the position of vice president naturally fell on the head of Miri, who was promoted by another level, which is gratifying. Ritsuko is still the chief scientist of NERV. The blessing left NERV and began to work for the Ministry of Internal Affairs in earnest, and it is said that he was also promoted. Shigeru Aoba, Makoto Hinata, and Maya Ibuki naturally remained at NERV.
As for Shinji, Asuka and Rei, without EVA, now they are just ordinary fourteen-year-old children, their lives are calm again, calm and even a little boring, but Shinji and Rei feel that this kind of boring days are very happy, only Asuka occasionally complains "It's so boring-"
Almost after the rebuilding of NERV, the government began a project to rebuild the third new Tokyo city, which should now be called the fourth new Tokyo city. The reconstructed Fourth New Tokyo City is located on the battlefield of the underground world, next to the NERV "Pyramid", and the government seems to be planning to build the Fourth New Tokyo City into an international research city, and with the strong support of the government and the United Nations, the Fourth New Tokyo City is changing with each passing day, and high-rise buildings are rising next to the "Pyramid".
……………………
Half a year has passed, and on this day, Li Xiao got up early as soon as it was dawn. He first took a shower, then stood in front of the mirror, combed his hair into an adult, and then put on a handsome suit, looking at himself in the mirror, Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Why did Li Xiao deliberately dress up today, and he was dressed so formally? That's because today is a special day, today, Misato and the blessing are getting married!
A month ago, Misato suddenly announced that she and Blessing were getting married. After a month of careful preparation, the day has finally arrived.
The location of the two marriages was chosen in the NERV headquarters, firstly, because the fourth new Tokyo city has not yet been built, and secondly, because it carries too many memories of Misato and blessings, and after some redecoration, the internal structure of NERV has completely changed, and now NERV is a pure scientific research institution, which is no longer kept secret from the outside world, and even allows researchers to bring their families in to live together, which is already like a small city buried underground. Naturally, there are large halls that are suitable for weddings.
When Li Xiao came to the auditorium, it was already crowded, he walked around the crowd at random, and suddenly unexpectedly found that Asuka and Nagisa Kaoru were sitting at a table in the corner. Kaoru Nagisa is also wearing a decent black suit, and Asuka is wearing a passionate red short skirt dress, although the combination of the two is very rare, but I have to say that the handsome man and the beautiful woman are quite eye-catching when sitting together.
In addition, by the way, Commander Ikari already knew that Kaoru Nagisa was still alive, and now that the Apostle has been extinct, EVA has also been sealed, so Commander Ikari didn't say anything, and it was considered a tacit acquiescence to Kaoru Nagisa's existence. Since Ikari Yui came back, Commander Ikari's whole person seems to have changed, although he still always has a straight face, but he is much more humane than before.
Li Xiao walked over and greeted Asuka and Kaoru Nagisa: "You two are early enough." ”
Asuka held her chin on the table, "It's you who are too late." ”
"Xiao, you're really handsome today." Kaoru Nagisa smiled slightly, still so elegant.
Li Xiao sat down and smiled proudly: "Each other." ”
After the three of them chatted for a while, Shinji also arrived, along with Commander Ikati, Ikari Yui and Rei, and now the four of them seemed to be a family. Li Xiao saw Shinji happily talking to Commander Ikari about something, this was a picture that he didn't dare to imagine before, it seemed that their father and son had finally reconciled. Rei also had a happy expression on her face, she was wearing a black dress, Ikari Yui was holding her hand next to her, and the two walked together like real mother and daughter.
The family of four came to Li Xiao's side, and after greeting Li Xiao and the three of them, Commander Ikari and Ikari Yui left, and Shinji and Li stayed, after all, adults have the world of adults, and children have the world of children.
Li Xiao, Shinji, Asuka, Li, Nagisa Kaoru, the five of them sat together and were bored and began to idle. After another period of time, the wedding march suddenly sounded in the auditorium, and the five people immediately craned their necks to look at the gate of the auditorium, only to see the door slowly open, and Misato, who was dressed in a straight suit and holding a white wedding dress, slowly walked in, and the wedding officially began.
The wedding went very smoothly, Li Xiao was sincerely happy for Misato and the blessing, the reason why he stayed in the EVA world for so long was actually waiting for the last wedding, and now Li Xiao finally has no worries.
During the meal, the topic somehow talked about the ideal of the future, and to Li Xiao's surprise, Shinji and the others had already thought about what they wanted to do in the future.
Asuka said: "I don't plan to go back to Germany for the time being, I want to stay at NERV, my mother is a scientist, and I want to be a scientist in the future." ”
Leigh: "I want to open a flower shop in the future. ”
Shinji: "I kind of want to be a teacher. ”
Kaoru Nagisa: "I plan to go to school first, and stay at NERV when I graduate, and since I am now a human, I naturally want to experience human life." ”
After the four of them finished speaking in turn, the four pairs of eyes immediately looked at Li Xiao in unison, waiting for Li Xiao to speak.
Feeling their expectant gaze, Li Xiao's heart suddenly felt very sad, because he had no future in the EVA world, he had already completed his goal of "HAPPYEND", this wedding was his last day in the EVA world, and he planned to leave.
Although Li Xiao knew in his heart that everything in this world was just the result of a series of calculations by the animation APP, but now, Li Xiao was sitting at the wedding scene, Shinji, Asuka, Li, and Nagisa Kaoru, they were sitting in front of Li Xiao, and what Li Xiao saw was not a pile of data, but a piece of fresh life, a warm smile.
Li Xiao was helpless, he decided to lie for the last time, he smiled and said, "I haven't thought about such a distant thing in the future." ”
After that, Blessing and Misato also came to greet Li Xiao and them, and Blessing rarely put away his frivolous temperament, and after a serious time, Misato smiled happily.
After the wedding, Li Xiao returned to his room at NERV alone, he lay on the bed, stared blankly at the white ceiling above his head, and was silent for a while. Parting is always sad, but parting is inevitable.
At this time, Peggy seemed to be aware of Li Xiao's thoughts, she came out of her mobile phone, sat on Li Xiao's chest, and comforted: "You can still enter the EVA world at any time in the future, the archives are there, and it's not that you can't come anymore, what's sad?" ”
Li Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief and said with emotion: "I also know, but after experiencing so much in this world, I am always a little reluctant. ”
Peggy frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "I can remind you, don't forget that this world is only virtual, and in the real world, you are still sleeping in bed." ”
"I understand." As he spoke, Li Xiao slowly closed his eyes. "Peggy, send me back."
Good night, EVA World.
