This dark ocean, which is not a little bit of liquid, but a condensation of countless negative emotions, with pain, with sour numbness, with itching, uncomfortable, in addition to these physiological negatives, there are also various emotional negatives, such as fear, depression, anger, and even negativity, these negative emotions will accumulate in it.

Shinji Ikari is looking for that light in this negative ocean, yes, there is not even a little light in this dark place, the only light is his own light, that is, a person's consciousness is the only light in this negative ocean, because even the most vicious people have a little bit of kindness and positivity in their hearts, and this is the light in this dark ocean, although there are very few, very small, very dark, very dark, as if it will completely disappear in the next moment, But in this ocean of negativity, which is completely dark, without even the slightest light, such a light is like a light transmitted from heaven.

Shinji Ikari relied on this little bit of afterglow, constantly diving into this dark ocean to search, these negative states kept eroding all his perceptions, and the external manifestation was that his own light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and even the entire surface was peeled off, revealing a body with internal power and light, but a body as red as flesh and blood.

"There...... Asuka, where are you ......."

Shinji Ikari's eyes have never been so resolute, even if he is in pain at this moment, he just wants to escape from here, but the courage that suddenly bursts out in his heart makes him dive into a deeper negativity.

In fact, Shinji Ikari hadn't heard of what exactly this place was, but vaguely remembered that Miss Misato seemed to say that when a person pilots an eVa, the synchronization rate is too high, and it will dive into this place, which is where the deepest part of life is, and where the aT force field is generated, which is also the so-called sea of life.

If you are a person who knows, you will definitely know that this is the place where the light of the soul bursts out, it is the deepest and deepest place of the essence of life, it is a place that goes deeper than the subconscious, the deepest consciousness, and even the instinct, and even the soul, there is a great terror here, there is both a god and a demon for life, there is great power, and at the same time there is a great destruction, which is formless and insubstantial in the darkness, but at the same time, it is also a place where the light of the soul bursts out of a life, in this darkness, Burst out with the light of the most primordial essence of life, and this is the beginning of transcendence, the beginning of immortality, this ...... It's the light of the heart, the light of the heart.

And Shinji Ikari is bursting with such a light at this moment, lighting up this dark ocean of negativity, whether it is he relying on eVa, or the courage in his heart to light it up, or luck, in short, he relied on this light to dive into the extreme depths of this dark ocean, where he saw a faint light that was about to be extinguished, that is...... Asuka.

Shinji Ikari immediately sneaked next to Asuka and saw Asuka holding her legs crying there, and he immediately shouted while diving, "Asuka! Asuka! Can you hear me? ”

Asuka seemed to be very confused, raised her head slightly, and saw Shinji Ikari trying to dive from top to bottom, her eyes slowly widened from a dazed state, and finally, she showed a surprised expression, and then just as Shinji Ikari sneaked in front of her and stretched out his hand to her, Asuka slapped Shinji Ikari in the face.

"Stupid Shinji! Big stupid Shinji! Why are you coming in here? You don't know what this place is? You...... You won't be able to change back into human form! ”

Asuka slapped Shinji Ikari one by one, but the palm of her hand became lighter and lighter, and there were more and more tears on her face, and in the end, she could only touch Shinji Ikaru's face and cry silently, just reading the words of the stupid Shinji in her mouth.

Shinji Ikari was surprised at first, and then it became warm, and the courage in his heart became more and more surging, and inexplicably, he thought to himself, if he came to save Ling Boli, then it is estimated that Ling Boli would say that she would not leave, because there was nowhere to go......

And in front of me is Asuka, Asuka's character, Asuka's words...... It's good to have found her.

Because of the courage in his heart, because of the sudden excitement, because of the slowly fermenting feelings, because of the unspeakable emotions, I don't know why, at this moment Shinji Ikari hugged Asuka all of a sudden, and before Asuka could say anything, he had already spoken: "I said I would come to save you, I will definitely come to save you, what do others think?" Well, no matter what other people are planning, no one can stop me from coming to save you! We agreed on it...... In the future, when peace is going to travel together, I still remember this agreement! ”

Asuka was originally stiff when Shinji Ikari hugged her, and she just wanted to resist, but when she heard Shinji Ikari's words, her heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable softness, the pain of being covered by negative emotions, being alone, having no light, no hope, and losing everything, was melted unconsciously, so she also hugged Shinji Ikari softly, and just whispered for a while: "You finally came to save me...... You've finally come to save me, I'm so scared, I'm so scared to stay here alone......"

"Hmm...... I know, I'm coming......"

"It's full of negative emotions here, it's so uncomfortable, it's so painful, I can't feel life, I feel like I'm slowly decaying, I don't know anything......"

"Hmm...... I know, I'm coming......"

"A lot of memories came flooding back, I remembered when I was a child, I remembered that I didn't drive the No. 2 plane, I remembered many things I didn't want to remember, they all came out on their own, and I cried all the time......"

"Hmm...... I know, I'm coming......"

"Stupid Shinji...... Help me, I'm so scared alone......"

"Hmm...... That's for sure! ”

Shinji Ikari listened to Asuka's unprecedentedly weak words, the courage in his heart became more and more surging, as if it was about to turn into a substance, he roared out under this emotion, hugged Asuka harder, and then began to float frantically to the surface of the sea, but it was easy to float and difficult to float when he floated, and when he floated, the negative sea around him seemed to come to life, squeezing him, pestering him, this is to leave him and Asuka here!

The only thing that can fight these black negative emotions is the light on the two people, but at this moment, the light on the two of them is already very dim, the light on Asuka's body is about to go out, and the light on Shinji Ikari's body is slightly better, but it is also so dim that it will be extinguished at any time, the two hugged each other, struggling hard in this dark ocean, but the light is about to go out, and they are becoming more and more powerless to break free from this negative ocean.

"Stupid Shinji...... You're going to stay here forever, you idiot......"

"I don't regret it."

Shinji Ikari suddenly smiled, looked at Asuka and said seriously, "Uncle Roger taught me one thing, and that is courage...... If you don't have the courage to face all this, then the result must be sad, I never understood before, no, I understand, it's just because I'm afraid of being hurt, I don't have the courage to bear all this, so I run away every time, run away from difficulties, run away from you...... But I want hope, I want a better tomorrow, whether it's you, Miss Misato, Ling Boli, or my father...... I want you all to be happy, and I want to be happy myself, so I have to have the courage, just like Uncle Roger told me, waiting for others to give me and wait for others to change, so is the result really what I want? ”

"I tell my heart this, I have to have the courage to face everything, I have to have the courage to overcome it all, I ......"

"Be courageous! No matter what you're facing! ”

Just as Shinji Ikari said this, from his already gradually dimming body, a ball of light slowly rose up like a small flame, and a little light burned from his chest, this light was so faint, as if a negative wave could extinguish it, but it was such a little bit of light, but it blocked the countless negativity, surrounded the two people, warm, from the heart, from the heart, from the heart, from the heart, this is the ......

Suddenly, this light was surging, fierce and vast, as if it had become a star, into an infinite amount of light, illuminating this dark ocean, steaming and drying this endless dark ocean, Shinji Ikari and Asuka rose in this light, and gradually disappeared upward.

This is the flame bursting out of the deepest darkness of the heart, this is the light bursting out of the deepest place of the soul, this is courage, it is faith, it is persistence, it is the deepest understanding of one's own nature, this is the ......

Light of the Heart!
