Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

Just like in ancient times, those stubborn aristocrats often beat up another stubborn aristocrat if they disagreed.In the eyes of today's knights, that is quite rude.As time passed, these knight families also felt that this was not in line with the elegance and reserve of the nobility.Then let the clergy in the family, or the retainers of the mysterious technology called Sacristans, ask them to arbitrate among the knight families.

Ritualized notions of duty, honor, and courage were used to ensure that these stubborn nobles would not beat up another nobleman in a heated argument.At least inform the other person before hitting him.With the acceptance of these concepts, the knights called it the Golden Spirit.

And these chivalrous spirits, as bright as gold, are passed down from generation to generation.

Insert the wire into the lock core and fiddle with it with a rustling sound.After going back and forth twice, only a click was heard, and the door lock automatically opened.

The dim light made Shinji Ikari feel a little alert, and he carefully explored the room.In the entrance hall is the sink, with greasy plates piled up.The curtains in the living room are dense, but judging from the curvature, there is no possibility of hiding a normal adult human being.Looking around, there was no furniture, which made Shinji feel a little relieved.

The vents of the central air conditioner in the room, the simple white washing machine with clean dishes and chopsticks, the girl's underwear hanging in front of the window, and even the bloody smell of disinfectant mixed in the room.But for some reason, in this dark room, Shinji Ikari's heart calmed down.

And Ayanami Rei was curled up on the only bed in the room, covered with a thin gray quilt.Curl your body and sleep peacefully.

It is said that babies float in the amniotic fluid in a curled-up position in the mother's womb, and this is also a sleeping posture that has dual meanings of stability and loneliness.

Shinji Ikari sat on the bedside and did not wake her up.Stroking the girl's neatly folded clothes, she suddenly felt something was hidden under the clothes, but she pulled out a bracelet.

It is said to be a bracelet, but it should actually be called a rose rosary.Of course, you can call it a rose crown or a talisman.

The reason why it is called the Rosary is because the name is a metaphor for a series of prayers, like the fragrance of roses, dedicated to the most holy and great emperor.The rosary is a way of honoring the Emperor, and the prayers engraved on the rosary cover the history of the Emperor's salvation.

Of course, this rosary is not the kind of talisman that can catch Bakuya in the face.It was just a tool to pay tribute to the emperor. Naturally, this rosary also belonged to Shinji Ikari.

However, he accidentally left it behind when he came out of the cockpit. You can even see that the beads that were originally connected in series were broken into a line.But I don’t know when she was picked up by Ayanami Rei and she was brought home.

Shinji Ikari stared at the sleeping girl, looking at the somewhat pale face, which always felt very familiar.

It seemed like we had known each other for a long time, far more than a century.

Chapter 19: The Apostles Attack

Ayanami Rei slowly opened her eyes. It was the familiar color of the ceiling.Only the clothes drying rack hanging from the ceiling was empty, and the clothes originally clamped on it were missing.The incandescent light above her head was on. Perhaps her bones were a little stiff from lying down for too long. She always felt as if she had slept for a long time.

The smell of disinfectant in the air was much lighter. It was obvious that someone had opened the window for ventilation.The boy with fresh, straight hair was sitting beside his bed, but he was not as arrogant as he had seen in the testing ground.Wearing a white school shirt, he looks like his older brother or younger brother who is waiting for him to have dinner.

"You're awake." Shinji Ikari said.

"Shinji Ikari?" Ayanami Rei sat up expressionlessly, rubbing her slightly injured left arm. This small movement made a look of pain appear on her face.But soon, he noticed what was in the other person's hand.

It was a string of rosary beads engraved with special runes, but due to material issues, it had been disconnected in the middle.

"Legend has it that an Emperor appeared with a promise: Turn the Rosary and you will receive everything you ask of me. Anyone who spreads the word of the Rosary will receive my help in times of crisis. You Primarchs have received this special favor, That is, anyone who preaches the truth will return to the Golden Throne when he dies."

"I picked it up from the water. I wanted to wash it and give it back to you." Ayanami Rei replied.

"Now that the rosary has passed through your hands, I can give it to you if you like it."

Although the rose rosary is mostly used as a talisman of status, in essence it is still a ritual instrument to pay tribute to the emperor.Once it changes hands, it cannot be taken back.

And these are just ordinary rose beads. In contrast, Shinji Ikari would rather make a new one.

Ayanami Rei didn't know that if it hadn't been for Shinji Ikari, her injuries would have been far more serious than this time.But she just put the rosary away silently.

"My classmates in the class asked me to visit you and bring you something by the way." Shinji Ikari said, "They all care about you. These are the fruit baskets and bouquets that the classmates in the class raised money to buy." Monitor Mitsuo said, If you need it, I can lend you her class notes. Everyone cares about you."

"...How are you?" Ayanami suddenly remembered.

"Do you think I'm a bastard like you? I'm just suppressing the rampaging Unit Zero, and I'm not even injured." The corners of Shinji Ikari's mouth raised slightly.

He was as gentle as a preaching priest just now, but in the blink of an eye he turned into an arrogant and powerful pilot.But Ayanami Rei was not angry, because she vaguely felt that Shinji Ikari was deliberately venomous because he was targeting her.

Probably because a talented driver like him with excellent qualifications would naturally discriminate against a weak driver like himself.Ayanami Rei thought.

"Since the things have been delivered, I will go to the fourth district to eat something." Shinji Ikari said.

Ayanami Rei didn't react like a puppet, nor did she get up to see him off, but when Shinji Ikari walked to the door, he suddenly spoke from behind.

"Actually, I've met you before, in a dream. Before we met for the first time at NERV."

At this time, Shinji Ikari, who put his hand on the door handle, turned his face sideways and looked at Ayanami Rei, but this time he did not speak sarcastically.His dark eyes stared at the girl who looked similar to him lying on the hospital bed.

Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows slightly as he pursed his lips.

"Do you believe in gravity?"

"Of or suggestive of a dog; doggish. About a dog, like a dog. Speaking of which, the teacher's favorite is the dog, because you can openly see OO."

At this time, the class was completely silent except for Teacher Hengdao, who was beaming on the podium.

The first period in the morning was Teacher Hengdao's foreign language class. As the head teacher, she was removed and became just an ordinary foreign language teacher.

This is entirely because her true nature was exposed. She was also a graduate of Tokyo Municipal High School.But in essence, she is a dirty child who is good at erotic delusions. Last week, because she told a vulgar English joke in class, the principal who happened to be passing by heard her and dismissed her original class teacher.

However, in Shinji Ikari's view, if she does not restrain her true nature, her days as a teacher will not last long.

Then came the music class of Teacher Yamanaka and the home economics class of Teacher Rika Koyama.

Shinji Ikari turned over the steak absentmindedly with one hand. Although he didn't dislike such a peaceful daily life, he always felt that something was missing.

Shinji Ikari recalled the pleasure he felt when he first piloted Unit-[-], tearing apart the arm of the Water Apostle, and the joy that was like the sublimation of his soul when he cut the red core of the nimbus open.

That kind of pure joy is something that no amount of mock tests and beating up the class bullies from other classes can bring.At this moment, he instinctively grasped the rose rosary he had re-engraved.

"Holy Emperor, please hear my prayer. Grant me the strength to fulfill my duty and smite those who try to stand in my way."

It was just a customary prayer, but at this moment──

Rather than calling it a coincidence, it was better to say that it was just some kind of fate. He suddenly turned back and looked to the southwest.

It was calm, without any fluctuations.But it was just him, and he suddenly felt the sacred rhythm of heaven and earth roaring in the distance.

It is a rhythm that transcends the laws of physics, a rhythm that can only be sensed by those who are attracted by it.It is simply like the divine return, like an angel desperate for the world coming to earth and sounding the trumpet of destruction.

But Shinji Ikari smiled extremely brightly.

"Oh, my great Emperor, please look at me with your kindness, watch over your servants and warriors, please protect me in this danger. Overcome all obstacles and win."

Even if the aliens were attacking, he still turned the rosary beads around for a full day and recited the prayer carefully before taking it back into his arms.

The classmates who were paying attention to Shinji Ikari at this time were surprised to find that in just a moment, Shinji Ikari, who was originally in a relaxed mood, was suddenly frying steaks with a radiant face.When the steak was being plated and cherry tomatoes were cut and garnished, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

"Dear, please help me hand it over to the teacher."

Shinji Ikari pressed his seventh girlfriend Tianmu's cheek next to him, and after her blushing face, he turned and left.

Half an hour later, the armed helicopter docked on the apron on the roof of the teaching building.Take Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami away from this school.

Accompanied by the shrill sirens, the entire Third Tokyo City was transformed back into a specially-built wartime fortress city.The original high-rise buildings were rhythmically withdrawn underground with a rhythmic popping sound.

And at the far end of the sea level, a huge crimson life form appeared in the observation range.

ps: Chapter 13 is under appeal and should be unblocked today.

Chapter 20: Shamsher, the Angel of Day

In the central command room of NERV, an illusory projection map of Tokyo appears in front of you. The dense red lines symbolize the real mountains, rivers, forests and high-rise buildings.The Third Tokyo City really deserves to be called a fortress city. As the order was issued, the buildings originally exposed on the ground were quickly withdrawn to Hakone underground.

Areas [-] to [-] located in the center were taken back to Hakone first, followed by nearby areas.At the same time, at the other end of the distant sea level, the red mark belonging to the apostle also appeared on the projected map.

"The enemy traces have been captured." The technician from the development department replied.

At the same moment, the voice of the pilot belonging to the air force also sounded inside the central command room through the MAGI system, "E-747 has also confirmed the enemy and is performing the task of tracking the target trace. Please give instructions."

At this time, the entire NERV headquarters was moving like a huge machine.Because the military failed in fighting the Water Apostles, but NERV succeeded.Ikari Yuantang succeeded in seizing part of the military's power, and was even able to mobilize military resources as it is now.

Ritsuko Akagi, who was staring at the screen at this time, finally gave an answer.

"The pattern analysis is blue. If nothing else happens, we will face the fifth apostle this time, the Day Angel Shamsher."

After receiving Ritsuko Akagi's answer, Misato Katsuragi, the commander, also straightened the brim of her hat and gave a solemn instruction, "Everyone enters the first-level combat position."

"Copy that! Prepare for ground-to-air combat!"

"Received! The third New Tokyo City combat configuration is being activated!"

Perhaps because of the great success in fighting against the Water Apostles, all departments of NERV were in high spirits.However, Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, who are familiar with the inside story, naturally know that even with the addition of military resources, the combat configuration of the Third New Tokyo City can only slightly hinder the apostles' progress.

But it doesn't matter, they still have a trump card that can seal victory in advance.

"Where's Shinji? Where is he now?" Ritsuko Akagi looked sideways at Katsuragi Misato and asked.

"We arrived at the S3 elevator shaft three minutes ago, and Rei is also ready to fight." Misato Katsuragi said.

Ritsuko Akagi frowned slightly, "The child's injury hasn't healed yet. Can he drive the EVA?"

"Just in case, no matter who you are, you have to go to the battlefield when necessary." Misato Katsuragi said coldly, "After all, we are facing the mythical Angel of Day. This prince of the Garden of Eden has already sounded the horn of doom. The rest is up to us.”

Ritsuko Akagi looked at her friend who had a completely different temperament from her usual. Maybe this was her true face.

——Hakone, launch hatch.

Shinji Ikari, who was already in the cockpit, was soaking in the amniotic fluid-like LCL and closed his eyes.

The technician's prompts also sounded rhythmically in his ears.

"Turn on pre-launch plug insertion detection."

"Ionized LCL, suppression plate released."

"The body functions of those who are qualified are normal. The EVA has been moved to the launch bay and everything is ready."

In fact, I can't tell the reason, and Shinji Ikari doesn't know why either.Although we were in this narrow cockpit, we felt an unprecedented sense of security.It's like being in mother's arms.

As if a flash of inspiration occurred, Shinji Ikari suddenly woke up.

——This must be the emperor’s blessing!

"Emperor, with your supreme power, grant me the power to drive away evil! Let me become a storm and drive the enemy out of my sight! "

A brand new rosary was hung around his neck. After reciting the prayer, Misato Katsuragi's voice was transmitted to his ears through the connection system.

"Shinji, are you ready to launch?"

"Anything is fine."

Listening to Shinji Ikari's extremely calm voice in the headphones, Misato Katsuragi's original nervousness suddenly disappeared.As the order to launch was given.The purple ultimate battle weapon lifted off like a rocket along the wide launch bay, and Unit [-] followed the lift platform back to the land invaded by the apostles.

…………

…………

In the shelter of Area 38C in underground Hakone, students from Class A of the second grade were sitting on the floor.

Cartoons and daily news were also played on the TV, which comforted the residents who were evacuating and told them to relax.There was even news about the driver, Shinji Ikari.

Suzuhara Toji and Aida Kensuke, who had been violently beaten by Shinji Ikari, were also sitting in the corner, and they recovered more than half of their injuries in a month.At first, Suzuhara Toji was very angry towards Shinji Ikari, and even shouted that he wanted to kill the brat when he was in the hospital bed.

As a result, as the number of patients in the ward gradually increased, all of them were class bullies of all grades who had been violently beaten by Shinji Ikari, their original little emotions had mostly dissipated.It's probably not about scarcity but about inequality. You might be angry if you are the only one who gets beaten. Seeing that everyone else has been beaten, you may even feel an inexplicable sense of pride because you are the first one to get beaten.

but--

Looking at the relevant news hanging on the wall praising Shinji Ikari, Suzuhara Toji, who had gauze wrapped around his head, still crossed his arms and snorted.But at this time, he saw his friend who had recovered from his injuries blinking towards him, and he immediately followed him towards the bathroom with understanding.

An hour later, at the top of Takao Mountain on the outskirts of New Tokyo, Aida Kensuke, holding a camera, squatted enthusiastically at the best shooting spot, watching the huge red apostle approaching Tokyo in the distance.

"What? You brought me all the way here just to see this?" Suzuhara Toji put his hands in his pockets and looked into the distance. He didn't have a camera, so he could only see a red dot with his naked eyes.

Although he didn't beg for mercy, his eyes were fixed on the red dot in the distance that was gradually expanding.

"What you can see is what the higher-ups want you to see. It's all news control! Only here can you truly see the truth hidden by the higher-ups!" Aida Kensuke excitedly set up the camera, "Damn it! That's great. ! This is a rare event in life!"

From the other side of the mountain, the red apostle finally emerged.

The Haimas multiple rocket launcher system, which was already ready to go, launched automatically.At such a distance, there was no need to aim at the apostle's huge figure, and rocket launchers from all directions hit the apostle's side one after another.

I saw the huge crimson figure suddenly paused and slowed down its progress.

At this time, the command headquarters was pursuing the victory, and the J-5 radar system automatically connected to the Japan Aerospace Defense Ground Environment Network. After locking on the target figure, the ground confrontation missiles and long-range anti-ship missiles with thick white tail smoke hit the target one after another. .

"Yeah! All hit!"

Kensuke Aida cheered.
