Chapter 527 Dreams and Reality (Original)

And the last important character who has not yet transformed into the original water of life is actually Ikari Yuantang.

However……

"I've been waiting for this moment."

He was still holding the Adam part of his right hand that was torn off, lying on the ground, but said calmly, "I finally see you... Wei."

Sure enough, beside him, a familiar figure was looking at him with a gentle smile.

Ikari Yuantang's face was calm, but his eyes looked a little complicated.

"When I'm around Shinji, I'll only make him hurt."

Ikari Gendo continued, "So it's better to do nothing."

The audience was confused at this time. Ikari Gentang knew that he had been hurting Shinji Ikari.

In other words, he knew it all along, but he still did it.

Didn't Gendo Ikari know very well that he was using Shinji Ikari from the beginning?

Why do you still look good for Shinji Ikari now?

At the same time, some viewers discovered... In fact, isn't Gendo Ikari's character the same as Shinji Ikari's?

They all feel the same loneliness, and they all have the same fear of loneliness.

So at the beginning, he had the idea of ​​approaching Ikari Wei for other purposes, but in the end, it turned into realizing his plan for Ikari Wei.

"You are afraid of Shinji."

"Ikari Wei" said to Ikari Yuantang at this time.

“I couldn’t believe that I could be loved by someone else.”

Ikari Yuantang said, "I don't have this qualification."

After hearing this, the audience was convinced...

The characters of Gendo Ikari and Shinji Ikari are actually the same. There is not much difference in the personalities of father and son.

Shinji Ikari feels that he is not liked by others, and even he himself does not like himself.

Is it not the case for Ikari Yuantang? He feels that he is not qualified to be loved by others.

Even though Ikari Wei, Akako, and Ritsuko all fell in love with him, he still felt that he was not qualified to accept their love.

"This is the misfortune that is inherited."

Ke Xinjie said with complicated emotions, "They are indeed worthy of being father and son. Ikari Yuantang is the grown-up Shinji Ikari. He grew up alone in an environment where he was not loved and did not feel that he was qualified to be loved. In the end, he spread his misfortune to others. To the next generation.”

This is just like in reality, mothers treat their daughters and instill the traditional idea that women are men's foils, and then pass it on from daughter to daughter, generation after generation, forming a closed loop.

Only when one of the daughters realizes something is wrong can it be possible to break the dregs of this secular tradition.

But it is obvious that this inheritance has not been broken between Ikari Yuantang and Ikari Shinji.

Because Yuantang Ikari felt that he was not qualified to be loved and knew that he would only hurt Shinji Ikari, there was always a gap between him and Shinji Ikari.

Shinji Ikari cannot feel the love of his father, and his mother also died unexpectedly, so he lives in an environment where he cannot feel love.

From then on, he also felt that he was not liked by others. Gradually, he even disliked himself.

"Sigh... This sense of tragic fate is really sad."

Zhou Wenwei on the side couldn't help but sigh.

But at this moment, he saw the clock on the wall of the living room, and he was a little stunned, "Huh? Is it half past twelve?"

"It's half past twelve?"

Ke Xinjie looked at the time and said, "It's twelve twenty-three, but why do I feel like this episode is... so long?"

She paused the playback of the next episode, but found that today's finale episode was actually forty minutes long? !

"This episode is forty minutes? So long?"

Ke Xinjie couldn't help but said, "No wonder it feels like it's almost over, but the ending isn't there yet."

"It's probably because there's not enough space, so I'm just combining two episodes into one."

Zhou Wenwei said happily, "But this... is good! Great!"

"Yeah, it's good to read it all at once."

Ke Xinjie was also very happy and continued to press the play button.

Back to the plot of the drama.

"You're just running away."

In front of Ikari Yuantang's head, a familiar figure appeared, it was... Nagisa Kaoru.

“Reject the world before it hurts you.”

Nagisa Kaoru looked at Ikari Gendo in front of him and said with some compassion in his eyes.

"You are afraid of the invisible and invisible things between people..."

"So I can only close my mind..."

Then, Ayanami Rei suddenly appeared again, and together with Ikari Yui, exposed Ikari Gentang's true heart.

Then……

"Is this retribution?"

However, Ikari Yuantang's body appeared in the hands of the beast-shaped Unit 1, but he still said calmly.

"Sorry, Shinji."

He finally said calmly.

Then it was...

In the end, his head was bitten off by Unit 1? !

This scene shocked the audience.

However, some viewers felt that this scene was a bit familiar...

They all muttered to themselves, why they felt like they had seen it before somewhere.

"That's wrong...Have I seen this plot somewhere?"

"I think I've seen this kind of... Um, U-turn scene in dramas other than "EVA"?"

"This scene is really familiar. Have I seen it somewhere?"

"This smell... feels really familiar!"

…

But more viewers said - "Okay!!"

After all, the character of Ikari Gendo is really unpleasant. He has always been hurting Ikari Shinji.

Ikari Shinji is still his son, but time and time again, he has never shown his fatherly love for Ikari Shinji.

Instead, he always forces Ikari Shinji to do things he doesn't want to do, and he also messes around.

He has affairs with Akiko and Ritsuko, and his relationship with Ayanami Rei is unclear at the beginning.

In short, most viewers can't feel much charm from the character of Ikari Gendo, and they just think he is a bit hateful.

Now seeing him being bitten by Unit-01, everyone feels that he deserves it and feels relieved!

"Great!! Commander, this is the way it ends! That's great!"

"Good death! Open the champagne!"

"The protagonist's father really deserves to die. Shinji's autism is usually caused by him."

"This extremely evil man is finally dead."

"Great! Yay!"

"Yeah... He is extremely evil, and he deserves it..."

"Maybe this is a relief for the commander, as he doesn't have to face Shinji anymore."

"So he looks so calm, because he thinks it's a good thing to be relieved like this."

"After all, he has seen Ikari Yui again, and he has no regrets in death."

"If he dies, then he will return to dust, and earth to earth..."

...

After Ikari Gendo died, the perspective returned to the sky above the earth.

At this moment, the nine EVA mass-produced machines around Black Moon and Lilith all held spears and pierced their cores directly.

This is actively releasing their souls.

With the final release of the soul, all the power of Lilith and Black Moon burst out.

Then the blood-red and cross-like light enveloped the entire earth, as if all the creatures on it had accepted "completion".

In an instant, the earth became a blood-red ball of light with crosses inserted in it.

On the earth, the angel-like "Lilith" held the spiral black moon in her hand and looked up like a devout believer.

At this moment, the tree of life transformed by Unit-01 fell into the third eye that appeared on Lilith's cracked forehead.

It gradually inserted into it and then recovered into it.

In the joyful and holy music, it seemed that countless souls floated by, and then the scenes of the past 27 episodes of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" were quickly replayed.

Including the voices of those characters, they all intersected chaotically, as if all their thoughts were gathered together.

At this moment, the audience seemed to suddenly understand what the Human Completion Plan meant.

That is... all human souls gathered together to become an extremely large consciousness, and at the same time...

Control the ultimate life form formed by the fusion of Adam and Lilith, all the apostles, and all life!

This is the so-called plan to eliminate the barriers in the mind and make up for the defects of human beings!

But this plan... is it really realized in the end?

Suddenly, at the end of countless pictures gradually disappearing, a cathedral bell sounded.

Ikari Shinji's face gradually appeared in the picture, and he seemed to be lying on the ground.

And at this moment, Misato's face suddenly appeared. She looked down at Ikari Shinji's face and seemed to be scolding, "Coward, if it is so painful, just give up."

But suddenly it turned into Rei Ayanami's face and continued to say to him, "If you really don't want to, just run away."

"You are eager to be free."

"You hope to get peace."

"You want to become one with me."

"You want to be one with me, both physically and mentally."

...

The voices of Misato and Rei Ayanami mixed together, tempting Ikari Shinji to take the last step.

However, Asuka's voice suddenly appeared at the end——

"But I will never be with you..."

Hearing this voice, Ikari Shinji's eyes suddenly widened.

Then...

The original picture suddenly turned into...a scene in reality?

Next, it suddenly changed from animation to real-life video, scene by scene.

The empty seats in the cinema, the bustling human city, the hurried pedestrians, the cute kitten, a running puppy...

In the end, the scene of the cinema with full seats and noisy voices appeared, and then the streets and subways full of people appeared.

This made the audience confused. How...suddenly the real scene appeared.

In the picture, in the end, three female figures stopped in the hurried crowd and stared at the camera.

But it seemed to be staring at the audience who were watching the show.

"Are you comfortable?"

This sentence suddenly appeared on the screen.

"I don't understand."

The voice of Shinji Ikari appeared at this time, and answered, "I don't quite understand what reality is."

"You can't grasp the gap between other people's reality and your own reality."

Ayanami Rei's voice responded.

"I don't understand where happiness is."

Shinji Ikari's voice was full of confusion, just like most viewers before watching the show.

Whether you are already very happy or feel very unfortunate, you will always not know where happiness lies.

Only very few people know clearly what their happiness will be.

"Happiness can only be found in dreams."

Rei Ayanami said.

"So this is not reality."

Shinji Ikari said, "It is a world without people."

"Yes, it is a dream."

"So, I don't exist here either."

"You're just making up excuses to reassure yourself in order to retaliate against reality."

"Isn't it possible?"

"You are escaping from reality in illusion."

"Can't you have a dream where I'm the only one?"

"This is not a dream, it's just a way to compensate for reality."

They continued their conversation sentence by sentence.

…

Then it suddenly switched to the original cinema. At this moment, it was full of people. Everyone was either cheering with excitement or with tears in their eyes.

It's like a complete and different life.

The audience immediately remembered that Lin Qingshan once said that he likes movies very much, and that many of his works have plots with cinema elements.

"He really, I cried to death, still loves movies and cinemas so much!"

"Old thief Qingshan's favorite thing is movies, but he suddenly understood... This kind of art that reflects all kinds of human beings is indeed the best."

"Movies... are actually an art where reality and dreams meet. The plots are all from reality, and the actors are from reality, but they can present... a dreamy movie plot."

"Human beings, isn't the most powerful thing about them the ability to dream?"

"What humans are most praised for is their ability to be grounded in reality and still have dreams."

"Escape can't change reality, and dreaming can't change reality. Only with dreams in mind but still based on reality can reality be changed."

…

This section was actually shot at the premiere of the theatrical version of "EVA".

Of course Lin Qingshan does not have the theatrical version of "EVA" here. He has combined some content from the original TV, theatrical version and even the new version, making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

He doesn't plan to shoot it in too many versions.

At most, a complete new theatrical version will be produced in the future.

So what he is using now... is actually the filming location where the live-action movie version of "Goodbye Eri" premiered not long ago.

That's why some people were crying and some were laughing.

He quite likes this kind of picture. It seems to be the reality of the world. Laughter and crying are the same precious human emotions.

He feels that what "EVA" expresses is actually one sentence in the end -

"We and the human species are not perfect, but we still want to try to survive."

A world where everyone bears original sin, but they are not the ultimate sin. They have flaws, but they also have a beautiful side.

So do humans need to complete it?

unnecessary.

Because I am not perfect, I still want to live.

Just like reality, no matter how bad it is, people still have to live.

Everyone in the cinema suddenly disappeared, leaving only a silent venue, as empty and lonely as Shinji Ikari's heart.

"Then where are my dreams?"

Shinji Ikari asked.

"That's a continuation of reality."

Ayanami Rei replied.
