Fight the monsters before 8 am

"Oh, I found it."

Because the folders in Junshiqi's online disk are classified very finely, Xing Heyue easily found the special drama "Kamen Rider Kuuga".

"It's time to start."

Clicking on the first episode to start playing, Xing and Yue leaned back against the bed.

As the series played out, Rukia temporarily put aside what had just happened and started watching the series.

Chapter 125: Are all products nowadays so innovative?

As the plot of the special drama on the screen progressed, Rukia gradually became fascinated and forgot about the embarrassing things that had just happened.

"Please watch my transformation!"

On the light screen, Yusuke Godai officially transformed into Kuuga's almighty form amidst the raging flames.

This scene can definitely be called a classic.

This classic scene made Rukia's face blush. She looked at Yusuke Godai's movements on the screen and imitated them.

"Hmm-hmm-transform!"

Rukia imitated the postures and dubbed herself, her face stern and with a serious expression.

This kind of behavior might seem childish for a middle or high school student, and might even be called "chuunibyou," but for this god of death who is over a hundred years old, this kind of behavior is just right.

After watching three episodes in a row, Xing and Yue were not in a hurry to turn on the next episode and planned to take a break first.

"Watsuki, next episode, next episode, hurry up." Rukia urged impatiently.

"Rest, take a rest." Xing and Yue inadvertently said Ikkyu's famous saying.

Rukia pouted her lips and gently touched Xing and Yue's calves with her feet to express her dissatisfaction.

Only then did she remember that she was so engrossed in watching that she even forgot to drink her soda. Now more than an hour had passed, and the soda she took out of the refrigerator was no longer cold.

She unscrewed the lid and a "hissing" sound came out from the bottle mouth. Just listening to this sound made people feel relaxed and happy.

Rukia tilted her head back and took a sip. Instead of showing a happy expression, her face wrinkled in pain.

She quickly swallowed the soda in her mouth to avoid spitting it out, and then held the soda bottle in front of her eyes and looked at it.

Looking at the product flavor printed on the bottle, Rukia remembered again.

Before, when she was shopping for groceries with Xing and Yue, she saw a carbonated drink in the supermarket that had a sweet potato flavor. Out of curiosity about the taste, Rukia asked Xing and Yue to buy two bottles.

When she was shopping in the supermarket that time, in addition to sweet potato flavored carbonated drinks, she also bought beer flavored potato chips.

She has already eaten the beer-flavored potato chips. The taste is quite strange, but it feels good. She also lamented that there are so many potato chips with weird flavors in the world.

Now this sweet potato flavored drink makes Rukia feel uncomfortable.

Sweet potatoes are very delicious whether they are fried into sweet potato chips, roasted over a fire, or cut into pieces and cooked into porridge. How come they are so unacceptable when they are turned into carbonated beverages?

Seeing Rukia's bitter face, Xing and Yue asked, "What's wrong?"

"This...tastes so bad..." Rukia stuck out her tongue and spoke incoherently.

"Then you drink this bottle of mine." Xing Heyue handed over the unopened orange soda in her hand.

Rukia quickly took it and handed her sweet potato flavored soda to Xing and Yue.

Xing and Yue naturally remembered that it was Rukia who wanted to buy this sweet potato-flavored soda.

"Is it that bad to drink?"

Xing Heyue opened the bottle cap and smelled it. It smelled like sweet potato porridge, and she took another sip.

"It's okay, it tastes like sweet potato porridge mixed with Sprite." Xing Heyue said.

After taking a big sip of orange soda, Rukia suppressed the taste of sweet potato soda in her mouth. When she heard Xing Heyue say this, she looked at Xing Heyue in disbelief.

Although she didn't say anything, the thought "You actually think this tastes okay" was conveyed through her big eyes.

Neither Xingheyue nor Rukia noticed that there was a black cat lying on the windowsill outside the window. This was the one that had left the room before.

The black cat was lying lazily on the windowsill, with its tail hanging down and swinging back and forth.

Seeing that the young couple in the room were not going to put down the next episode, the black cat yawned lazily and resisted the urge to knock on the glass to urge them.

After a short break, Xingheyue continued to play the next episode.

They watched until the late night before Xing, Yue and Rukia fell asleep.

Because it was Sunday, and Sister Lizi said they didn't need to go there today, Xing and Yue slept in.

Xing Heyue and Rukia slept until eleven o'clock on Sunday morning and ate something that they were not sure whether to call breakfast or lunch.

In the afternoon, Rukia asked Xing and Yue to train again, and the training lasted until the evening.

Sunday passed by and a new week came. The military training for the freshmen of Chengdong Institute of Technology will end on Thursday this week.

----------

Asuka felt dazed and somehow found herself on a beach.

The beach is grey and the water is red.

"How on earth did I get here?" Asuka muttered to herself.

In the sea water, there are many Asukas soaking. They are of different sizes and all incomplete. Some of them are just broken limbs floating in the waves and become part of the waves.

Asuka seemed not to notice and casually kicked away the broken arm.

Her expression was calm, yet also filled with confusion.

After walking a few steps forward, Asuka turned around and looked at the sun floating on the sea. It was a huge Asuka's head.

One of the head's eyes was submerged in the water, and the other eye was staring at Asuka who was walking on the beach.

Faced with such a strange scene, Asuka remained calm and her eyes seemed to have no focus.

She turned around and continued to walk slowly on this strange beach.

She didn't know how she got here, nor did she know where she should go. Her head was empty and she knew nothing.

After walking a little further, the tide brought something that was not a body to the shore and landed at Asuka's feet.

It was a rag doll, soaked in bloody sea water.

When Asuka saw this rag doll, an expression of pain suddenly appeared on her calm face.

She knelt on the ground, covered her head with her hands, and screamed.

Those painful memories, like needles, penetrated into her eyes and pierced into her brain one by one.

Asuka could feel this pain very clearly, every bit of the excruciating pain was extremely clear.

She was very conscious, which made the severe pain seem very long.

----------

"what!!!!!"

Asuka screamed and opened her eyes, waking up from the nightmare.

When she finally calmed down and gradually regained consciousness from the dream, she found that the face of Rei Ayanami was in front of her.

When she thought she was still in a nightmare, Rei Ayanami spoke: "Are you okay?"

Chapter 126: Morning at Asuka's House

It took Asuka a long time to make sure that she had escaped from that chaotic nightmare and returned to reality.

But what was happening before her eyes still left her a little confused.

This should be your room, right?

This should be my bed, right?

Then why is Rei Ayanami here?

At this time, Asuka was lying on her bed. Because of the nightmare she had before, she had kicked the quilt covering her to the ground. Her pajamas were very messy and her body was covered in sweat.

At this time, Ayanami Rei was leaning on Asuka with her hands, looking at her without any emotion. She was wearing a white nightgown, and because of her posture, the straps of the nightgown slipped off her shoulders.

The bed scene is quite suggestive.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that Asuka didn't respond, Ayanami Rei expressed her concern in a cold voice.

"I'm fine." Asuka covered her eyes with one hand. The pain and fatigue that remained on her face revealed her true thoughts.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What are you doing?" Asuka looked at Ayanami Rei who was lying on top of her with her eyelids drooping. From her perspective, she could see the scenery inside Ayanami Rei's nightgown through the open collar of her nightgown.

"Since you haven't gotten up yet, Misato asked me to call you," said Rei Ayanami.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Asuka rubbed her head helplessly, "You can wake me up if you want, why do you have to lie on top of me?"

"Because I see that you seem to be in pain, and I was wondering, if I do this, will it make you feel better? I have watched a lot of analysis videos about EVA on the Internet before, and they all say that you are afraid of loneliness. Some videos also say that the relationship between us is very complicated, and we have feelings similar to those of lovers that go beyond ordinary friends." Rei Ayanami said.

After hearing what Ayanami Rei said, Asuka felt her head hurt even more.

"Which video did you see that said we were in a romantic relationship? Tell me, and I'll file a complaint later... No, you are a living person after all. You know what kind of person you are and what kind of relationship you have with the people around you. Don't let those comic reviewers analyze you. Don't think so much, just live your own life well and don't be influenced by others." Asuka said helplessly.

She has also seen videos about analyzing EVA, but she only watched one or two and never wanted to watch them again. In the videos, she seemed to analyze every grain of rice she ate to find a hint, metaphor, or foreshadowing.

"But I think it makes sense..." Rei Ayanami said in a low voice.

"It doesn't make sense! Are you an idiot? You're making me so angry. Let's not talk about this anymore. Just move aside. I want to get up!" Asuka made a classic pouty kitten face and couldn't help but raise her voice a little when she spoke.

"Okay." Ayanami Rei was not angry even though Asuka yelled at her, and she climbed down from the bed obediently.

She put on her nightgown which had slipped off a little and left Asuka's room first.

When she reached the door, Ayanami Rei stopped again, turned around and said to Asuka who was still sitting on the bed: "Asuka, if you have anything to say, you must tell us. We still have Misato. We are now dependent on each other in this strange world."

Asuka was slightly stunned and scratched her hair in confusion.

After Rei Ayanami left, Asuka sat on the bed with her knees hugged for a while before reluctantly getting up.

After changing clothes, he picked up the quilt that had fallen on the ground and threw it on the bed, without intending to flatten it or fold it up. It looked a little sloppy.

After washing up in the bathroom outside, Asuka went to the first floor.

Misato Katsuragi and Rei Ayanami had already changed their clothes and washed up, and were sitting at the dining table waiting for Asuka.

"You finally got up from bed. Come here quickly. Breakfast is ready." Misato Katsuragi said to Asuka who was coming down the stairs.

The breakfast for the three of them was toast, fried eggs, fried sausages, grilled bacon and milk. It wasn't particularly complicated, but the portions were large and filling.

Asuka came to the dining table and sat down. She first picked up the cup and took a sip of milk. Then she took a piece of crispy toasted bread, took a bite, and chewed it slowly in her mouth.

Katsuragi Misato put one leg on the chair, looking very unrestrained. She asked worriedly, "Xiangxiang, I heard from Lili that you had a nightmare again?"

"Hmm." Asuka was chewing food, so she just made a simple "hmm" as a response.

"Do you need my help with anything?" Misato Katsuragi continued to ask.

"I just had a nightmare. How can you help me?" Asuka swallowed the bread and spoke. She didn't take Misato Katsuragi's suggestion of helping seriously.

"We two will sleep with you at night, then you won't be afraid." Misato said.

"Forget it, I'm not a child," Asuka rolled her eyes, "Besides, I think having a nightmare is more acceptable than being woken up by your snoring."

"You stinky girl, I'm obviously concerned about you. And, when do I snore when I sleep? Don't slander me out of thin air." Katsuragi Misato said unhappily, and then asked Ayanami Rei with a guilty conscience, "Do I really snore when I sleep at night?"

Rei Ayanami was eating toast with jam on it. When she heard Misato Katsuragi asking her, she put down the toast in her hand, licked the jam at the edge of her mouth, and then said, "I haven't heard you snore, but when you sleep on your back, your breathing sometimes becomes heavy."

"Huh~~~~That's okay, that's okay, as long as you don't snore." Misato Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing what Ayanami Rei said, Asuka couldn't help but glance at Katsuragi Misato's chest.

"Have those two useless lumps of fat grown bigger again?" Asuka thought to herself.

At the same time, she mouthed, "Are you getting fat again?"

"No way!" Katsuragi Misato was like a cat with its fur standing on end, then she said with a guilty conscience, "It shouldn't be... Is it obvious? Oh... I have to eat less snacks in the office in the future. I've been sitting in the office lately and haven't been exercising much."

As she spoke, Misato Katsuragi pinched the flesh on her abdomen.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Why did you insist on waking me up this morning? I didn't have any classes today." Asuka asked.

Although Misato asked Ayanami Rei to come and call her, saving her from the nightmare in disguise, Asuka still didn't want to get up early. If possible, she wanted to take a nap, preferably without dreaming. She hadn't rested well recently because of the nightmare.

Chapter 127 Why is it suddenly Thursday? Am I being attacked by the Crimson King?

"Well... if you really want to say it, it's nothing serious. Today is the military training parade, so I wanted to take you to watch it." Misato Katsuragi said
