EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan - Chapter 237 235 Confession

Windless night.

Rei Ayanami was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, her white feet stepping on slippers, the incandescent light from the ceiling shining down, illuminating the girl's soft profile. She finished reading the page with the light, estimating the time when Shinji Ikari might come back after visiting the pilot of Unit 2, and at one point she suddenly stood up.

…Dinner is ready in the kitchen.

She carefully brought the steaming hot meal to the dining table, then continued to curl up on the sofa, waiting for Shinji Ikari to come back. The TV screen in the living room was black. Ayanami Rei had no interest in watching TV alone. It would be too boring to watch it alone, but it would not be boring if they watched it with someone.

At this time, the call from the Apostle Lilith sounded again. Ayanami Rei had already gotten used to this annoying call and didn't pay much attention to it. However, this time, Shinji Ikari seemed to come back a little too late.

She closed her eyes a little sleepily.

Just when Rei Ayanami was about to close her eyes to rest, the feeling of calling in her heart became stronger and stronger. For a second she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. This was not good. She had to wake up quickly. Thinking of this, Rei Ayanami wanted to open her red eyes, but in an instant she fell into a dream.

Gurgling, it was the sound of bubbles floating in the water. It was pitch black, like the sea at the bottom of hell, so quiet that only the sound of the tide could be heard.

dark.

Profound.

After the tunnel, Rei Ayanami finally opened her eyes. This was the Central Dogma District where she had been.

The white giant was hung high.

No one can stop Him.

He stared at the ant-sized clone in front of him, waiting for the return of his soul so that he could regain his self-consciousness.

“…Come back.” He seemed to say.

"..."

The big and the small stared at each other. In this central dogma zone, except for this area, there was infinite and vast darkness. She seemed to be able to feel the giant's emotions, which were the will of pain and revenge. Blood, countless blood was flowing. Humans cut open His lower body, took His soul, and nailed Him to the cross with a spear...

"Ayanami..."

Familiar voice.

It's Ikari-kun.

Rei Ayanami slowly opened her eyes, as if she had woken up from an interrupted dream. At this moment, she was standing on a dim balcony. Although there were railings on the balcony, she felt as if she was only one step away from flying lightly towards the moon. In front of her was the boy looking at her. When she came to her senses, the first thing she said subconsciously was, "Ikari-kun, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Shinji Ikari looked visibly relieved.

The two returned to the living room.

The balcony was not a good place for a conversation. Besides, they hadn't eaten yet, so they couldn't chat on an empty stomach. They only had a brief conversation on the balcony and then returned to the living room. They sat side by side. She and Shinji Ikari ate dinner in silence at the table. After a long while, Shinji Ikari asked her:"Ayanami, what happened just now?"

He must be referring to Lilith.

From calling to attracting... He is indeed an apostle of natural evil.

For some reason, he always felt that he and Rei Ayanami were very far away from each other when they were on the balcony before, but now they were sitting together, less than ten centimeters away from each other. The girl's faint body fragrance permeated his nostrils, and Shinji Ikari suddenly realized that the girl was actually right next to him.

"It's not your fault."

After hearing his words, Rei Ayanami raised her head, and her red eyes looked at him timidly. The girl was as beautiful as a fawn, or an innocent unicorn shining with a faint light. Looking at her ignorant eyes, one could tell that it was definitely not her fault.

...It's Lilith's fault!Was his tone just now too harsh? Ikari Shinji put that questioning tone behind him and said in a gentle voice, "I always felt that Ayanami at that time was not like you, but like another person. I thought you had gone somewhere."

"Ikari-kun, are you worried?"

"of course."

Rei Ayanami's condition just now was really worrying. It was as if she had become another unrelated person. How should I put it, it was as if the girl had a split personality.

Q: How can I legally have two girlfriends?Very simple.

As long as the girlfriend has split personality, it will be fine. If she has split personality several times, she can even have a harem legally. And excluding split personality, it must be Lilith's ghost.

Is there any other possibility besides this?The apostle has been calling out to Rei Ayanami all the time, and even now he can be possessed by a ghost. He is really guilty of a heinous crime! Could it be that Lilith can take over the human body... Uh, what does He want the human body for? Revive the soul? But Rei Ayanami doesn't have much time left. Even if He wants to take her, at least she has to be a healthy and normal person... It's really hell when I think about it.

The key point is that he can't get rid of the apostle named Lilith now. Unit-01 has been frozen. Even if he sneaks into the hangar and sits in the cockpit of Unit-01, without the help of the staff of the headquarters, I'm afraid the cockpit can't be transported into Unit-01, not to mention that it will take two contacts to achieve neural empathy. Finally, the headquarters also has the means of ejecting the cockpit.

He continued:

"Luckily I got back in time. When I saw you on the balcony, Ayanami, you looked like you were about to fly, just like a fairy who had found her feather robe and was about to return to the moon."

"Feathered clothes? Fairy?"

“He is drawing me… back?”

"You are not allowed to go back."

Ikari Shinji said immediately.

It sounded like a parent calling her daughter who had not come home all night, but the greedy boy told the girl not to go back. Rei Ayanami nodded obediently, as if to comfort him. After the two finished dinner, he hugged Rei Ayanami and watched TV in the living room.

After turning off the TV, he carried Rei Ayanami to the bed.

What followed was just like countless late nights, a beautiful scene that he was used to seeing. The girl's skin was as clean as if she had just washed, and from her cheeks to the soles of her feet, it was all stained with a blush. Ayanami Rei closed her eyes and couldn't help moaning softly as if she was being humiliated. At this time, any man should be focused, but he was still thinking about it before, which really ruined the scenery.

He looked at the girl.

No matter how you look at it, she is just an ordinary... beautiful girl. Am I overthinking it? However, even if Lilith is possessed, she will probably flee back to hell at the speed of light when she sees the current scene, unless she wants to experience it...

Shinji Ikari had taken off his cosmetic contact lenses, revealing his ferocious golden eyes. With a slightly wild look in his eyes, he hugged the girl tighter.

"Ikari-kun?"

The atmosphere in the bedroom was silent.

After a long while he said:

"..."

"I've gotten used to you, Ayanami, but one day we have to separate..."

"Ikari-kun..."

Rei Ayanami moved with difficulty in his embrace. She leaned her cherry-colored lips over and kissed Shinji Ikari on the lips. It was rare for a girl to be so proactive. The boy's breath made her cheeks hot. He asked again:

"Do not want to."

"Don't you like me?"

"I like it." Rei Ayanami lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "I want to be with you forever."

"Me too."

Shinji Ikari smelled the girl's body fragrance, or rather, the smell of hormones. He felt sleepy, but he was still thinking about the purpose of Lilith's doing this.

Excluding revenge and taking over the body, there are not many options left. In addition to being a clone, Rei Ayanami has another identity, that is, the pilot of Unit 0. Could it be that Lilith is doing this for Unit 0? For example, is she parasitizing Unit 0 through Rei Ayanami, just like the 13th Angel who parasitized Unit 03? Although this is a strange ability that only the later Angels have, there is no guarantee that the second Angel Lilith will not have it.

However, Shinji Ikari suddenly remembered something.

There should be no control system inside Unit 0.

Got to go to the Central Dogma District to see Lilith again.

He hasn't been there since the Spear of Longinus was pulled out, and he doesn't know what the white giant looks like now.
