Chapter Seventy-Eight: After the Great War (2)
Over the last remaining intact tarmac of NERV, a black military helicopter was slowly landing, and the huge propeller rolled up a strong air flow on the ground, Li Xiao stood on the edge of the tarmac, and was blown by the air current.
Looking to the left from Li Xiao, there were Asuka, Shinji, Misato and Commander Ikari standing in turn, and they came here today mainly to pick up someone.
The helicopter landed safely on the tarmac, the hatch opened, and a man with pigtails and a flirtatious smile stepped down from it, and when they saw this person, Misato and Asuka couldn't help but smile on their faces, this person was the blessing Ryoji who had not been seen for a long time.
Li Xiao and his entourage immediately greeted him, and Commander Ikari took the lead in front of the blessing, with a slightly surprised look on his face, and said to the blessing: "I didn't expect you to be alive."
The blessing is still the same, smiled, and looked at Li Xiao who was standing behind: "Thanks to the help of Jiren."
Commander Ikari frowned slightly in confusion, he turned his head, followed the blessed line of sight, and his gaze also fell on Li Xiao, his shocked expression flashed on his face, and his heart said: It's Li Xiao again!
Li Xiao stepped forward and raised his hand to say hello: "Mr. Blessing, have you contacted the government?"
"Thanks to the small connections I made when I worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I was able to get on this line smoothly. However, the rest of the work will depend on Commander Ikati. Blessing turned his head to look at Commander Ikari and said in a relaxed tone. If the commander's mediation fails, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my head, it's really a thankless job. ”
Commander Ikari: "This is not the place to talk, come with me." ”
Then, Commander Ikari and Misato left with the blessing and another agent of the Internal Affairs Office, Li Xiao, Asuka and Shinji did not follow, Li Xiao originally came to see Mr. Blessing, and Li Xiao was not interested in participating in the negotiation.
Commander Ikari and Blessing talked for a whole day, and Li Xiao didn't know what exactly they talked about, and he didn't have any interest in knowing, he only knew that after the negotiations, Commander Ikri decided to go to the Second New Tokyo City with Blessing to clarify NERV's innocence to the government in person, and expose SEELE's conspiracy.
Three days later, Commander Ikati, Deputy Commander Dongyue, and Fu began to leave, and before leaving, a group of NERV people came to the tarmac to say goodbye.
Before getting on the plane, Commander Iki said to Misato, "The next NERV will be handed over to you, and if I and Fuyutsuki can't come back, you will be the next commander of NERV." ”
Misato straightened his waist and saluted Commander Ikari with a heavy face, and replied sonorously, "Understood! ”
Li Xiao and Shinji stood behind Misato, Shinji looked at his father with a worried look on his face, opened his mouth several times but stopped talking. Although Shinji and Ikari Gendo's father-son relationship is not very good, after all, blood is thicker than water, and Shinji is still very worried about his father at this time.
Li Xiao sighed helplessly when he saw this, and quietly pushed Shinji in the back. Shinji was pushed two steps forward and came to Commander Ikati.
Commander Ikari looked at Shinji and felt his father's stern gaze, and Shinji immediately lowered his head in fear. But this time, Commander Ikin took the initiative to speak. He said to Shinji, "Shinji, in my absence, you have to protect everyone. ”
Hearing his father's words, Shinji jerked his head up in surprise, he never expected his father to say such a thing to him, for the first time in his life, Shinji felt that he had finally been approved by his father. His heart immediately burned with courage, and he nodded vigorously: "Well, I will." And also...... Father, take care all the way, I'll wait for you to come back. ”
Commander Ikari gave Shinji a deep final look, "Goodbye." ”
Then, Commander Ikari and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki boarded the helicopter, which slowly rose under the drive of the propeller and flew quickly into the distance, gradually disappearing into the distant skyline.
On the way back, Shinji kept having a smile of joy on his face that couldn't be concealed, and he couldn't help but say to Li Xiao: "Father said let me protect everyone, does this mean that my father agrees with me?" ”
Li Xiao was also happy for Shinji: "I think it should be like this." ”
Despite the absence of Commander Ikari, the work of NERV has not stopped, and under the overall operation of Miri, the reconstruction of NERV is proceeding in an orderly manner. But despite this, Li Xiao can clearly feel that in addition to the busy work, the entire NERV is shrouded in an atmosphere of confusion and worry, and people are worried about the same question: "What if the negotiation between Commander Ikari and the government fails?" "Even Misato, Li Xiao has seen her look dazed several times, Commander Ikari has not heard from her since she left NERV, and Misato is worried every day that the government will suddenly call again, and she is under tremendous pressure.
After four days of fear, on the morning of the fifth day, Commander Ikari finally returned, and he brought back the great news - NERV had finally cleared his innocence.
After this news was announced, the entire NERV breathed a sigh of relief, and the people could not help but cheer: "The war is over!" ”
In fact, this is also an expected result, after all, Commander Ikari himself is a member of SEELE, and Mr. Blessing has also worked for SEELE for a long time, and both of them have a large amount of confidential information about SEELE in their hands.
The rest of the matter does not require any more NERV efforts, although SEELE is an incomparably large secret organization that can even control the United Nations, but attempting to trigger a third shock is already the public enemy of all mankind, and now their plot has been revealed, and all that awaits them is trial and death.
The days that followed suddenly became calmer, NERV received support from the government again, a lot of money poured in, the reconstruction work was in full swing, and people began to devote themselves to their work because they did not have to worry about the government coming again, and the whole NERV was enveloped in a positive atmosphere.
But in fact, under this calm appearance, the whole world is surging, the world's major powers have begun to tacitly eliminate their own domestic SEELE forces, lost the support of SEELE, NERV can no longer be independent of the government, China, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, ...... The NERV divisions in various countries have been controlled by the government, and the power structure of the world has begun to quietly change.
Li Xiao occasionally listens to Misato talk about things outside, but in fact, he doesn't care much about these, after all, this is the animation world, and Li Xiao doesn't care what the world pattern becomes. Now, Li Xiao's "HAPPYEND Completion Plan" has been a complete success, and all the main characters of EVA have survived, Shinji, Asuka, Misato, and Rei, it can't be said that they have achieved happiness, but at least they are all alive, and they have unlimited possibilities in the future, and they will be happy one day.
Although the "script" has ended, Li Xiao does not plan to leave the EVA world in such a hurry, he hopes to draw a perfect end to his "journey to the other world", and he has some wishes that he has not yet finished.
……………………
On this day, Li Xiao was cleaning up his room, but the sound of the doorbell suddenly came from outside the door. Li Xiao immediately stopped what he was doing, came to the door, and after opening the automatic door with a snort, he saw the visitors standing outside, Li Xiao couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Commander Aki!" ”
Commander Ikin stood outside the door, his vicissitudes of life with a faint look of expectation and excitement, and said directly to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, the human race completion plan has ended, it's time to bring Wei back." ”
