The Collection of The End

——2016.3.24——

The garden of assembly.

It can actually fly... No, it should be said that it is normal to be able to fly. After all, several apostles have appeared directly in space.

Moreover, the diameter of the ball of light he transformed into was only half a person's height. If we had to be serious, could it be that he was curled up inside?

Shinji Ikari was briefly surprised, and then began to observe Nagisa Kaoru's way of solving the incident.

After the light ball flew out of the window, it did not go straight to the zenith to deal with the Sixteenth Apostle. Instead, it galloped towards the nearest blue giant. The giant was destroying aimlessly, but seemed to sense the impact of the light ball by instinct. Threat, backhand is a slap.

puff.

Accompanied by the undetectable sound of bubbles, the light ball first penetrated the giant's palm, and then penetrated the giant's body without losing force.

"Ah..." Kirishima's real name exclaimed softly after hearing Nagisa Kaoru's knowledge that it was the incarnation of the student's AT force field.

In this regard, Shinji Ikari is not too worried. The person who pointed out the problem certainly has a solution to the problem, especially when he specifically said that he owed him one time.

How to repay this? When driving an EVA to beat you, give you three moves first?

Hee hee hee…

As soon as the light ball passed through, it ran towards the next giant without stopping. The one that was penetrated, after being stagnant for two seconds, suddenly swayed from side to side like a deflated balloon and shrank sharply, and finally disappeared into a building below it. In the dormitory building.

Hmm... Based on Shinji Ikari's current vision, he can basically confirm that the giant was not destroyed, but was forcibly stuffed back into the body of its creator. Maybe the unlucky guy would get sick afterwards, but there would be no death or loss. The dangers of competence.

Pfft, pfft, tsk, tsk.

The ball of light formed by Nagisa Kaoru breaks through and "resets" one blue giant after another. Combined with the dark sky and the giant halo hanging in the sky, the scenery outside the window has a very obvious "separation" from reality. "a feeling of.

Um? etc.

Shinji Ikari later realized that something was wrong. Although several of their special EVA pilots planned to take advantage of the 16th Apostle, they could not talk about this to the outside world. Normally, there was With an obvious target like the Sixteen Apostles and those raging blue giants, he should have been summoned with all kinds of firepower to try it out, but now not only is there no attack, he is even urged to go back and drive the EVA to attack. There is no phone number.

Shinji Ikari turned his head and took out his phone and took a look.

March 24, 0:42.

This is the club classroom of the literary club. Who would stay here until midnight?

However, the dark sky outside at this time was very suitable for this time.

Did Ayanami do something again?

Tsk...it's "again" again, whatever.

Since bringing little Ayanami back from "another world line", he no longer intends to struggle with the concept of time and space. I think, therefore I am.

Tsk-tsk-

As the last few "Blue Balloon Giants" fell, the gathering garden returned to silence late at night, leaving only the "halo" whose brightness had weakened a lot and was suspended in the air. However, the ball of light in Nagisa Kaoru's incarnation did not Return, but continue to patrol in mid-air.

"Huh? Why did my watch stop? The battery was obviously just replaced."

Because the time in this world is not right.

Shinji Ikari turned to look at Kirishima Mana who was standing by the window tapping her watch.

Roar--! 】

Before he could look back, a strong blue light penetrated from the window, and then, an oversized blue giant appeared outside the window of the literary club.

Even though the giant had no eyes, Shinji Ikari was pretty sure it was staring closely at him, while Kirishima Mana was still studying her watch.

The next second, the blue giant punched the window without stopping.

hateful! Shinji Ikari rushed towards the unaware Kirishima Mana.

Bang——!

————

"Why did you open the window randomly!" The girl with blue hair and red eyes, wearing a school uniform, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Shinji Ikari's nose and cursed: "If you want to die, I will make it happen for you now!"

"Aya, Ayanami-san?" Kirishima's real name exclaimed.

No, it's definitely not the case... Shinji Ikari saw the girl's appearance clearly and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Although his appearance and voice were the same, this "Ayanami Rei" had contempt in his eyes and an angry expression. He looked at him like he was looking at a pile of garbage.

Isn't this "Little Ayanami" who goes by the pseudonym "Mari Makiha"? What does it mean to say that Cao Cao has arrived?

After taking her away from the world line where she was originally "strangled to death by Naoko Akagi", Rei Ayanami arranged for her to be a "reserve pilot of Unit 8" and transferred her to the Assembly Garden. However, Shinji Ikari was not the driver. Class A, which has many members, is not Class C, where Kirishima's real name belongs, but Class D, which has no acquaintances and has many international exchange students.

According to Ayanami Rei, after little Ayanami is "connected online" with Eve here, she will get common sense and social knowledge consistent with her apparent age, and does not need special care.

However, because Xiao Ayanami obviously hated him very much, Shinji Ikari did not take the initiative to approach "Mari Maikiami" to ask for trouble. He only learned about her reputation from the gossips of other classmates.

Hot-tempered, soft-tempered, bad-mouthed, kind-hearted, unreasonable, and easy to communicate with.

These completely opposite comments made unfamiliar classmates think her character was a bit eccentric, but Shinji Ikari was familiar with the inside story and could easily sum it up:

Eat soft things but not hard things, help relatives but not take care of others.

Of course, "individuals" and "outsiders" have completely different perceptions of her.

Originally, as a savior, Shinji Ikari had to be included in the circle of "his own people", but who asked him to commit suicide? He could only endure the scolding.

Now she has thrown away her disguised appearance and returned to her original appearance. Of course, Ayanami specially instructed her to come here to help.

For example, just now, when the blue giant punched out and was about to break the window and smash the literary club into rubble, Xiao Ayanami barged in directly from the door and set up an AT force field to block the attack. The giant flew away far away. .

So is it now a regular skill to release AT force fields with bare hands?

"How long are you going to hold me? You philandering scumbag." Little Ayanami spoke again, staring at Shinji Ikari's arm.

"What kind of flower... uh..." Shinji Ikari looked down and found that Kirishima's real name was still in his arms. Judging from the weird posture that seemed to hold the person under the creaking nest, he should have just tried to get her. It was because I didn’t think too much when I rescued him from the window.

But because Ayanami-chan's appearance was too shocking, the shock caused when her AT force field competed with the blue giant's fist was too great, and Kirishima's real name didn't struggle at all when he was pinched, and he even thought about it for a while. Forgot.

"Sorry." Shinji Ikari released his hand and put her down.

"No, it's okay." Kirishima Mana straightened his dress and straightened his hair, his cheeks slightly red.

"Really, what's so good about this playboy scumbag..." Little Ayanami muttered, rolling her eyes at Shinji Ikari.

Hmm... Although this situation is inappropriate, I can roughly understand why Asuka is ranked at the bottom.

The second batch of blue giants that appeared were no longer "balloons", but "water balloons".

Compared with the first batch of giants that leaked air as soon as they were worn, even if the second batch of giants were directly penetrated by the light ball transformed by Nagisa Kaoru, the "wounds" would "heal" and would not explode directly at all.

Because Nagisa Kaoru praised Haikou, he seemed too embarrassed to go back to the literary club, so he just flew around the giant outside, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

As for Shinji Ikari, since there was no duel board or EVA, he just sat in the club classroom and watched the fun.

After Xiao Ayanami blocked the blue giant's attack and closed the window, the big guys who were wandering aimlessly and hammering away completely ignored the club classroom and the teaching building where it was located.

Combined with the fact that the Third New Tokyo City had no response to the enemy at all and the empty Assembly Garden, how could Shinji Ikari still not know what was going on?

When the sixteenth apostle appeared, he was "isolated" by Ayanami Rei.

It was thrown to another timeline or even a world line in the early morning of that day. Although it could slightly affect the normal world, it was only to the extent that the AT force field of the qualified person could be used to summon the blue giant in the "isolated world" .

At the same time, Xiao Ayanami did the second thing: in the big "isolated world", he "isolated" the Literary Club alone, making it a temporary base for the members of the Literary Club to deal with the Sixteenth Apostle, and it would not be Big Blue found that this also explained why he was scolded by Big Blue when he opened the window and attracted her attention.

Shinji Ikari is not the incarnation of Eve, so he naturally does not know how Rei Ayanami performs these actions, but it is obvious that in the entire plan, the extra little Ayanami is crucial.

If nothing else happens, Ayanami Rei's "isolation" can only be carried out once. In order to keep it from being leaked, he cannot come in. If he wants to achieve the goal of double isolation, he can only ask his "other self".

She was not even sure whether this kind of thing could be done. Before she really succeeded, she specifically asked herself to try to prevent the third impact.

So far, the plan has been successful. Since the Sixteenth Apostle could not find the "eva with the driver", he converted his ability from "fusion" to "enhancement". It was a very smart approach - as long as he summoned There are "monsters" that require EVA to deal with, so why worry about EVA not appearing?

But it never expected that there was a humanoid apostle named Nagisa Kaoru who could dismantle apostles with his bare hands.

As a "future person", Kaoru Nagisa should have guessed from the historical archives what Rei Ayanami did and the possibility of the blue giant appearing, so he made the suggestion that everyone always gather at the literary club this month.

In other words, all his plans are based on the two premises of "Ayanami will use the barrier to protect the literary club" and "the blue giant is vulnerable".

That's why he declared "you owe me once" with great confidence.

As a result, perhaps due to the influence of the double barrier, the blue giant that appeared for the second time changed its "material". Nagisa Kaoru's seemingly cool "penetration" fighting method was unable to deal with the "liquid giant".

Puffsha Puffsha Puffsha—crash!

In the end, a liquid blue giant was pierced through a sieve by Kaoru Nagisa. After a while, it trembled, and in a posture that complied with the laws of physics, it flowed around like real water and disappeared.

Hmm... The time it takes to destroy a giant must be a hundred times different.

"I owe you once." Shinji Ikari said very sincerely to the ball of light outside the window.
