Chapter 2032: The City of Demonic Mist in the Dead World (39)

—2016.2.25—
The Garden of Gathering, Class 2 Class A classroom.
"My name is Nagisa Kaoru,"
The beautiful boy with gray hair and red eyes wrote his name on the blackboard with beautiful fonts, then turned around:
"The meaning is a flower that quietly exudes a fragrant fragrance by the water's edge."
"..." The girls in the class all stared at him, their eyes shining, as if they wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"I'm fifteen years old this year, eh? It happens to be the same as everyone else," Zhu Xun continued with a smile: "It seems that I was born to meet you~"
"Yeah-" XN
This guy is too outrageous. Ikari Shinji held his chin and watched him perform, while trying to dispel the screams of the girls who were drilling into his ears.
Only children born in the year after the second shock will be enrolled in the Garden of Gathering. Anyone who is one year older and younger than one year cannot be "qualified".
Moreover, if the name can be chosen by himself, everyone will choose it well. Shinji means "pro son", who does he want to reason with?
Of course, a scene like Zhu Xun that can't stand up to scrutiny would not have the same effect for someone who doesn't look so good-looking. The cold scene is all light, and it can only be said that appearance is justice.
"Okay, find a seat and sit down by yourself, we're going to class." The head teacher with gray hair and always squinting finally interrupted the "fan meeting" and dismissed Zhu Xun from the stage.
Nagisa Kaoru walked all the way, ignoring the expectant glances of most of the girls and a few boys, and went straight to Shinji Ikari, who was in the second-to-last row by the window.
what? Single person and single table, do you still want to join the table?
"You should have been thinking about me, right?" Nagisa Xun smiled slightly, pulled out the chair in front of Ikari Shinji and sat down: "Then, I will let you see me at any time, how about it?"
"what-"
"ah-"
Half of the girls sounded disappointed, while the other half became more excited.
Before you yell, can you think about who is in front of my front desk? And when did he inexplicably disappear?
Although I can't remember who it was, it was definitely not empty before!
Shinji Ikari turned to look at Rei Ayanami by the window with a hint of help, but found that she hadn't paid attention to Nagisa Kaoru, just looked out the window with her hand on her cheek.
This kind of situation... If you don't think he doesn't need to care at all, you already know his details.
And Zhu Xun, in any case, can't be the former, because he is the "Seventeenth Apostle".
—
"Alterego, Nagisa Kaoru, answering the call, may I ask, are you my Master?"
This is what he said when the two first met yesterday.
Although I can understand every word, I don't know what it means when I connect it. Moreover, I obviously want to find "the future real name of Kirishima" to help solve the sixteenth apostle, why is such a person here? juvenile?
"It's hard for you to understand what you said, so let's put it another way," Nagisa Kaoru saw his puzzled expression at that time, so he continued: "The seventeenth apostle, Nagisa Kaoru, was entrusted by the real name of NERV acting commander Kirishima, in order to eliminate the The sixteenth apostle, who has traveled through time and space, please give me more advice.

Isn't this more difficult to understand?
Why would she, a spy, become the acting commander?
And the apostles will travel through time and space, how can they fight?
"Ha Qiu!"
When Ikari Shinji's head was in chaos, Nagisa Kaoru tilted his head and sneezed:
"Oh, the temperature difference between the two worlds is so great that it seems like I'm about to catch a cold... You wouldn't keep me out of the door and talk like that, would you?"
Who would believe that the apostles would catch a cold?
In the end, Ikari Shinji let the suspicious boy into his dormitory - mainly to avoid attracting the attention of other residents, and to know what happened in the future, and his appearance has nothing to do with being very handsome.
After that, Nagisa Xun said a "future" that was even more bizarre than his identity.
The sixteenth apostle did appear as Ayanami said, and even the abilities were exactly the same. It took the initiative to merge with the attacking machine zero and turned into a super huge light ball. If the light ball exploded, it would happen a third time. The impact, if it collapses, will only lose the Zero and the pilot.
And when everyone could only pray silently, Shinji Ikari rushed over with the No. 1 aircraft and roared loudly, "[Return Lingbo to me!]" in a voice that everyone could hear, abruptly. Pull the zero machine out of the light ball.
At this time, the sixteenth apostle, who had already entered the detonation stage, could not be cancelled, and could only reluctantly turn into a cross beam of light rising into the sky.
Normally, this should be just a small episode of fighting against the apostles. After the two recover, they can continue to prepare for the next apostle, but the problem is that Ikari Shinji and Ayanami Rei disappeared.
Afterwards, it was found out that the synchronization rate between the two pilots and their own body exceeded 1000% - because the counter can only display 999% at most, so I don't know the specific value.
The final conclusion is that due to the high synchronization rate, they all melted into the LCL inserted into the plug.
Units 2 and 3 continued to stand by in order to deal with possible future apostles, while NERV tried every means to rescue Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari.
After that, the whole world fell into a period of inexplicable peace. Although Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari were never rescued, no apostles appeared and attacked again.
Years passed, the aftermath and influence of the second shock gradually disappeared, the earth gradually returned to its original appearance, NERV, which had no dragon slaying skills, was gradually forgotten by the world, and the employees also dispersed and were finally integrated into the Earth Alliance. The military department of the company was recruited by the general who once criticized it as "don't have a face", and used technology for outer space exploration.
Time has changed, only the real name of Kirishima, who replaced the commander of Ikari Gendo, is still maintaining the establishment of NERV, and the world's impression of EVA is only the No. 3 machine with pure black paint that occasionally catches a glimpse in major events. .
The second shock in 2000, as well as the apostolic invasions in 2015 and 2016, changed from history to story, and then from story to meme and joke. In the end, only two lines of historical accounts remained. What happened can only be guessed at.
In fact, there is no need to guess. Isn't that situation the same as when humans stopped the "Second Impact"? It's just that the thing that prevented the "Three Rush" from erupting was changed from "Longinus' Spear" to "Ikari Shinji Himself".
Perhaps, "that self" thought of a method that he thought was perfect, neither triggered the third shock, nor let the existences called "weaving threads of life" invade, and even eliminated all potential apostles, just let this The world continued to exist peacefully for fifteen years.
However, in 2031, the seventeenth apostle, Zhu Xun, appeared, and at this time, no one could stop him.
"Do you accept this ending?" Nagisa Kaoru asked without explaining his origins, how he met Kirishima's real name, and what deals were negotiated, but only after roughly talking about "future history".
"I don't accept it! How can I accept it!"
Ayanami was thinking about the way to get out of reincarnation, how could she just screw it up by herself?
"It's a coincidence, that's what I thought too. Then, let's help you to kill the sixteenth apostle. Anyway, the apostles are also hostile." At that time, Zhu Xun responded.
"I won't say that I don't need your help, but what's your purpose of returning from the future to the present? As an apostle, isn't it bad to trigger the third shock directly?" Shinji Ikari will naturally not forget that he is also a apostle.
"of course-"
The corners of Zhu Xun's eyes and lips twitched at the same time:
"To meet you."
"…"
asshole! It's a shame that he was still shocked at the time, but now it seems that it is not exactly the same as what he used to deceive girls today!

Literary Society.
"Hello, I'm a new member of the Literature Club, Zhu Xun, I hope to get along well in the future."
The gray-haired, red-eyed boy greeted Kirishima's true name who was serving tea and pouring water.
"Okay... eh?" Kirishima's real name looked at Nagisa Kaoru in confusion and then at Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari who entered the club classroom behind him.
Obviously, she understood the key word "future", but it was also unclear why "herself" did not come.
Ikari Shinji winked at her, then shook his head, saying that he didn't know the details either.
"He is the driver's backup selected by NERV through the Malu Duke formula, but it has not been announced yet," Ayanami walked to his seat and sat down: "In order to save trouble, I recruited in advance."
This is written as a literary club, and read as an EVA driver's lounge, right?
"Is that so? But we don't seem to have any extra EVA?" Kirishima's real name covered her mouth with a tea tray to express her doubts. After thinking about it, she added: "If necessary, you can open the third machine..."
It's not that easy. Although NERV's body allocation is relatively random, it still requires a lot of experiments to swap bodies.
Also, didn't you realize that you were leaking information at will?
The dragon slayer has finally become a dragon.
"Don't worry, lovely lady maid, my body is specially made and I'm already on my way." Nagisa Xun responded with a smile.
"Ah, okay." Kirishima's real name responded in confusion.
Hmm... Ikari Shinji looked at Kirishima's real name's dress, because her relationship with everyone was getting better, she no longer wears a full maid outfit, but she seems to like the black headband with white silk flowers. It is often worn on the head.
But that thing is just an ordinary hair accessory, and it can be directly seen that it is a maid, could it be—
After becoming the acting commander of NERV, she used the authority to change the combat uniform into a maid uniform?
Inside the black-and-white-painted Unit 3 sits a black-and-white maid...
There is one thing I would like to see.
Although there was one more member, because Asuka didn't come, it was not much different from usual, except that Kirishima's real name seemed a bit cramped, and he didn't seem to dare to speak.
Speaking of which, after the attack of the fifteenth apostle, Asuka seems to have started training very hard in order to reproduce her heroic appearance of killing the apostles like chopping melons and vegetables in a fantasy world, and did not even participate in the activities of the literary club.
Rounding up, the fifteenth apostle is actually half an allied army.
But unfortunately, it is useless to deal with the personal ability of the sixteenth apostle, and the seventeenth apostle is a…
Ikari Shinji tilted his head and glanced at Nagisa Kaoru.
...a slender boy who was crushed to death by the number 1 function.
You really, I cried to death, you finally want the first machine to pinch others.
No, don't you think you pay too much attention to him? Give me honestly how to save Ayanami, you bastard!
"Give Ayanami back to me", this is so handsome, who said it?
I guess after that, I just escaped from this world line because I was too socially dead.
I will have a split personality one day... Ikari Shinji squeezed his forehead.
"What kind of books do you like to read?" Ayanami's voice sounded.
Ikari Shinji raised his head in confusion, and found that the president sitting by the window was asking questions to the new members.
Hmm... Although this room is sitting in the incarnation of Eve, a time traveler, a humanoid apostle, and a stand-in messenger, it is essentially a literary club.
"Me?" Nagisa smiled: "I prefer classical literature, my favorite one is Bruges-la-Morte, the city of the dead written in 1892 by the Belgian writer 'Georges Rodenbach'. ."
…what is that? Sounds like some horror novel.
Ikari Shinji looked left and right, and found that Kirishima's real name was as confused as himself, while Ayanami was as expressionless as ever.
"The content of the story is," Nagisa said, "in a city called Brugge, there was a man named Paul, his wife passed away, and he collected all the relics and portraits of his wife and put them in the house. Pretending to be the way his wife was before she died, and deceiving yourself into thinking her wife is still alive."
Is it a ghost story? Will his wife come back because of this? Is this a novel that could have been written in 1892?
"After that," Nagisa continued, "a dancer named 'Marietta' appeared. Paul thought it was his wife's resurrection and pursued her wildly and finally got what he wanted."
Oh...oh...the ghost is coming out?
Not only Ikari Shinji, but even Kirishima's real name is wide-eyed and concerned about the follow-up of this story.
"However, after the two lived together, Paul discovered that Marietta was completely different from his wife in every way except for her appearance, and his attempts to train Marietta's character and habits on his wife had all failed. Finally, when Marietta accidentally found her wife's relics and abandoned them, Paul finally believed that Marietta was not his wife."
Something seems wrong...
"The end of the story is that after Paul recognized his feelings, he took Marietta away from the 'City of Death' in Brugge and started a new life."
This is title fraud! Where is the city of death!
This Paul is so scumbag that Marietta doesn't even dump him?
Ikari Shinji and Kirishima's real name looked at each other and found that the other party seemed to have the same views as their own, so they nodded tacitly, and then cast a condemning look at Nagisa Kaoru together:
Do you like this kind of book?
"I think the meaning of this book is very deep," Zhu Xun put on an innocent expression: "Think about it, it was written in 1892."
Snapped.
Ayanami closed the book in her hand, got up and stuffed it back into the bookcase, and then left the club classroom of the literature club:
"I'm going back."
...?
