Chapter 2702 The Boy's Decision

Ikari Shinji violated the order to retreat. Not only did he not retreat when the external power was disconnected, but he rushed forward to fight the apostles. Now the boy can finally leave, but looking at the whistling train, he thought of the attractive older sister Misato Katsuragi, and the two classmates who had just established friendships, and most importantly, the girl who was so white that people couldn't help but get close to her. Leaving or staying suddenly became a problem.

If it was a few days ago, Ikari Shinji would definitely leave without mercy. Once he hesitated, it meant that he wanted to stay a little.

Accept or refuse, if you really want to refuse, you must refuse decisively. Hesitating and not wanting to refuse but not accepting means that there is room for this matter and it needs to be thought about. In fact, people are like this. They will decisively refuse things that seem to have no benefits, and things that cannot be decided are basically both good and bad, or the benefits are not obvious enough.

The older sister, classmates, and beautiful girls are enough for Ikari Shinji to think.

Finally, the train passed, and Ikari Shinji stayed. Misato, who hurried to the station, breathed a sigh of relief. She naturally didn't want Shinji Ikari to leave. After all, he was the only genius who could start Unit-01 and whose synchronization rate exceeded 40% right away. Without him, the combat effectiveness of Neuron would be greatly reduced.

Seeing that Shinji Ikari didn't get on the bus, Misato Katsuragi smiled.

Although Shinji Ikari didn't obey the order, no one could replace him at present. Misato Katsuragi interceded, and the commander didn't want to replace his son, so both sides tacitly restored Shinji Ikari's driver status and allowed him to continue to participate in the battle.

Shinji Ikari looked at the small card with the address in his hand, wondering whether he should go. For Teacher Duran, his thoughts were very complicated. Duran was definitely an unconventional and unique teacher, and his novel views were jaw-dropping. To be honest, Shinji Ikari didn't fully understand it, but one thing was certain, that is, the teacher didn't like Neuron, so he always thought that Neuron would betray everyone in the end.

Shinji Ikari didn't like Neuron either, but it was an organization managed by his father after all, and it was also fighting to protect humanity. He really couldn't accept Duran's education completely.

But when the boy came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a strange door.

This was an abandoned factory in the Third New Tokyo City. The boy walked to the door and was still hesitating whether to go in.

"Boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Duran stood behind Shinji Ikari. Don't think about going back now that you're here.

"Teacher?!" Shinji Ikari was a little worried when he saw Duran, not knowing what the teacher would do.

"Come in." Duran took the boy into the factory office. When he entered the room, he saw a wall covered with various news clippings and various photos. Many of the photos were confidential, and in the center of the wall was an ugly sketch drawn with abstract lines.

The painting showed the outlines of four human figures, but they all had halos. Below the painting were reports on meteorites from various media in various countries. These were all old news from fifteen years ago.

"Boy, what did you see?"

"Teacher, are you investigating the Neuron?" Ikari Shinji found that many of the photos were photos of the Neuron underground base, and there were even hand-drawn route maps. The base was larger than expected, and there was a huge space under the base.

"It can be considered an investigation, but it's not important. What's important is the truth that has been covered up. The world we are in now has actually experienced more than one restart, and each restart cannot change the suffering of mankind." Duran raised his hand and pointed to the sketch in the middle of the wall and said, "Look, that's the proof that the world has been restarted."

Ikari Shinji was confused and couldn't keep up with Duran's rhythm. What world was restarted, what suffering was reincarnated, he didn't understand at all.

During the second impact, there were four apostles in Antarctica, and these four were Adam, which means that this world has been restarted at least three times.

Originally, there was only one Adam, and one more Adam appeared every time it was restarted. Now there are four Adams, which means that this world has been restarted again.

It's like the SL method of the game, save and read. Adam is the save, and the four Adams mean that humans have become orange juice at least three times, and now it's about to be the fourth time. But Shinji Ikari still didn't get the ideal ending he needed.

The world before was completed by humans, but it was not Shinji Ikari's happy ending, so he restarted and continued, and if it was not achieved, he restarted again. But Shinji Ikari himself didn't know what the perfect ending was, so his friend Kaori Nagisa said that Shinji Ikari must be happy this time.

Because Kaori Nagisa was the only one with the saved memory, but unfortunately, even with the memory, he was fooled by the commander and was deceived again and again.

At this time in the factory room, Shinji Ikari had no idea what Duran was talking about. But it didn't matter. Now Duran took him to see the situation in the factory.

Pulling open the curtains of the office, I saw that there was a larger space next door. I saw the workers inside were busy like ants, making something.

"This factory was established to produce mechanical equipment before the construction of the third new Tokyo. Now it is restarted to create a mobile power supply for EVA. As long as there is a mobile power supply, Unit-01 will no longer be at the mercy of neurons." Duran said: "Nuclear batteries, one is better than six."

Ikari Shinji blinked, thinking that the teacher was indeed extraordinary. Did he want him to betray the neuron? Although the boy was weak in character, he was not stupid. Not only was he not stupid, he was also very smart. He could play the cello well and his academic performance was very good. He could master the cello at the age of fifteen. He inherited the excellent genes of his parents. Moreover, in the battle, Ikari Shinji also grew up rapidly, and his performance in actual combat surpassed that of Rei Ayanami and Asuka who had been trained.

So when Ikari Shinji heard Duran say that he was not at the mercy of the neuron, he immediately thought that Duran might be a resistance organization.

"Boy, now I ask you a question, why are you you? I think you have also thought about this question."

Ikari Shinji did think about why it was him. Was it because he had a commander father, so he had to go to the battlefield? Why did he encounter such a thing, why did he not have a mother, why could he not live with his father, why did he have to be fostered in a relative's house, why did he always have to be careful not to make others angry? Why can other people's children be willful, why can't he?

There are many whys, so the TV version of humans did not complete the story, and Shinji Ikari completed it in the end. In the old theatrical version, the plot changed to humans completing the story, and Shinji Ikari did not complete it.

Adding the comics and the new theatrical version, there are exactly four restarts, corresponding to four Adams.

"I don't know, I don't know the answer to this question, teacher, do you know why I am me, why do I have to go through all this?" Shinji Ikari wanted to hear Duran's explanation.

"Because you are not me, nor him, so you are you." Duran said.

It's really like listening to your words, because I am not you, nor him, so I am me? Shinji Ikari said that this answer is already at the level of an elementary school student.

"Why is white white? Because white is not black, not green, not red, not purple... not any other color other than white. This is why white is white, because existence first includes negation, and all things exist by negating others." "Why are we us, why are they them, why are the apostles the apostles, it is because we deny them, deny the apostles, and at the same time we are also denied by them, by the apostles. And this power of negation is the AT force field." Duran said that the power to deny others is the power of the AT force field.
