Chapter 528: Evidence of Existence and Humanity (Original)

But Shinji Ikari was still puzzled and asked, "Then where is my reality?"

"That was the end of the dream."

Ayanami Rei finally answered.

On the screen, letters and messages appeared one after another.

Those are all messages from Lin Qingshan’s fans to him, thanking him, cursing him, encouraging him, comforting him...

Every sentence appears quickly on the screen.

Dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams.

As soon as this sentence came out, many viewers were shocked.

Yes, what humans call dreams are just things that cannot last in reality.

And reality is the end of the dream.

They felt that this conversation was really like philosophy, full of touching things.

When some viewers saw this plot, they even felt...that they should walk out.

From the intoxicating, bizarre, and seemingly beautiful dream, I returned to reality for a while and took a look...

Although... although the real world is not as beautiful as the world in anime and comics, it is still a dream, just a continuation of reality.

Without reality, it would completely collapse and cease to exist.

Reality is the ending of dreams, but the two are mutually dependent on each other.

The imperfect reality is necessary to exist.

After watching this episode that night, many viewers suddenly had some enlightenment. When they woke up the next day, they tried to go out instead of staying at home.

Then the next scene was of "Lilith" hanging high above the earth, with her neck suddenly being cut open and a large amount of blood spewing out.

Even the powerful blood spurt directly formed a powerful reaction force, causing her body to fall backwards.

She slowly fell down, but her eyes seemed to be looking back at the audience.

Amidst the faint background music, Shinji Ikari appeared on the screen again.

But this time he was lying on the ground and saw Ayanami Rei.

"Ayanami Rei..."

Shinji Ikari seemed to have just woken up and asked, "This is..."

"This is the sea of ​​LCL, the sea of ​​the source of life."

Ayanami Rei looked at him and said expressionlessly, "The world has lost its A.T. force field and its own body."

However, her arm was still fused with Shinji Ikari's body, as if they had just separated from the state of being one.

"You don't know where you end up being yourself and where you end up being in other people's world."

Ayanami Rei continued, "You are everywhere, but you are not everywhere. It is a fragile world."

At this time, the audience seemed to gradually understand what the human completion plan was.

Probably the ultimate goal is like now, a world where everyone and everything are integrated into one, but consciousness is still preserved, and everyone's consciousness is integrated together?

Although he has lost his body, this is probably another kind of eternal life.

Such a world... is actually quite beautiful.

They even had such an idea in their minds, absurdly.

But soon, they wondered if they were crazy.

I actually think this world is beautiful...

But after the plot just now, and their own feeling that reality is not beautiful, they really feel...

In this way, a world where everyone's consciousness is integrated and there are no barriers in the heart seems to be really beautiful.

Perhaps only in this way can mankind achieve the kind of equal world that everyone dreams of.

No classes, no material needs, no death, no lies, no hiding, no fighting…

It seems that only in this case can all the things that humans have always hated can be eliminated.

"Am I dead?"

Shinji Ikari immediately asked again.

"No, it's just all rolled into one."

Ayanami Rei replied, "This is exactly the world you expected."

However, at this moment, Shinji Ikari felt something seemed to be holding in his hand.

He opened his palms, and the cross necklace that Misato gave him before she died floated up and floated in front of his eyes.

"But this is wrong."

Shinji Ikari looked at the cross necklace and said, "I think this is wrong."

"If the presence of others is expected again now."

But Rei Ayanami said, "The wall of the heart will separate people again, and the fear of others will reappear."

But this time...

"It doesn't matter."

Shinji Ikari seemed to be relieved and reached out to grab Ayanami Rei's arm.

Then the two completely separated, and then they reached out to each other and held each other.

This scene is a bit like the scene in "Genesis: The Creation of Adam" where Adam reaches out to touch the Holy Lord.

At this moment, Shinji Ikari is like Adam, and Rei Ayanami as Lilith is God, representing the Holy Lord.

"Thanks."

Shinji Ikari said finally.

Then everything seemed to separate, and the scene that lit up again was not the orange ocean, but an ordinary ocean.

At this time, Shinji Ikari, who was completely separated, rested on Ayanami Rei's knees.

"I feel like there's just so much stuff there that I hate."

Shinji Ikari suddenly said again, "That's why I thought it would be better to escape, but I didn't encounter any good things when I came to the new place... Because I'm not there, just like everyone is not there."

At this time, in front of them, Nagisa Kaoru suddenly appeared.

"A.T. Force Field, does it not matter if it hurts you or others again?"

Nagisa Kaoru put his hands in his pockets and seemed to ask casually.

"It doesn't matter."

Suddenly the scene changed, and Shinji Ikari, neatly dressed, was standing on a flat ground.

Standing opposite him were Nagisa Kaoru and Ayanami Rei.

"But who are you in my heart?"

He asked curiously again.

"It's hope."

Rei Ayanami replied, "Perhaps people can understand each other."

"Together with the words I like you."

Nagisa Kaoru also smiled and replied.

The scene around them suddenly began to change continuously, from the sudden appearance of individual bodies, to the rolling dirt hills, to the jungle, and then to the city highway.

"But that's all just for others to see."

Shinji Ikari said, "It's just my own wishful thinking, just like a prayer. It can't last forever. One day I will be betrayed by others, and others will abandon me."

"but……"

In this desperate situation, he continued, "I want to see him again, because I think the feeling at that time was real."

Suddenly, a picture appeared on the screen, which the audience had never seen before, of most of the characters in "EVA" happily taking a photo together.

In the group photo, Shinji Ikari smiled extremely happily.

At this moment, he seemed to have made a decision.

"I can stay here!"

Shinji Ikari said with a smile. Then at this moment, I suddenly became self-centered and everything changed again.

Around him, countless familiar figures appeared.

They all clapped and cheered, cheering for Shinji Ikari.

Misato, Rei Ayanami, Ritsuko, Ryouji Kaji, Suzuhara, Kensuke, Penguin, and all the members of the NERV headquarters he was familiar with, and even... Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, and his father and mother - Ikari Gendo and Ikari Yui .

The only thing missing was Asuka, and they were all clapping and cheering.

Then they said to Shinji Ikari one by one, "Congratulations——!"

"Congratulations--!"

"Congratulations--!"

"Congratulations--!"

…

Then, Shinji Ikari smiled with great joy again and said, "Thank you!"

This scene made the audience feel very strange, always feeling... very baffling.

But I feel...

"This is the style of the old thief Qingshan."

Zhou Wenwei said speechlessly, "This is too outrageous, especially when I saw the commander applauding and congratulating Shinji..."

"Shinji has finally come out completely."

Ke Xinjie said with emotion, "But...why is there no Asuka?"

"It should be... Ikari Shinji knows that Asuka rejected him?"

Zhou Wenwei analyzed and said, "Because Asuka seems to be in a completed state, knowing Shinji Ikari's experience and understanding him, but she still hates him..."

But no matter what, this inexplicable and even slightly insane plot made the audience laugh, and then joked -

"It's so much fun for mentally ill people... This plot is too hard for me to handle."

"What does this mean? Does Shinji mean to come out completely?"

"It's very like the old thief Qingshan..."

"But it's really weird."

"Hahaha, mental patients are like this. If you can think of what he plans to do, then there is something wrong with him."

"This scene of people applauding together is really outrageous. What's even more difficult is that the commander also ran out."

"This probably represents Shinji's inner world. He has completely completed himself."

"I think...this applause is actually - congratulations! Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital!"

"Hahaha, congratulations on being discharged! It's true that a mental patient has been discharged from the hospital."

"Shinji Ikari can be discharged from the hospital. As for the old thief Qingshan... you go back and increase the dose of medicine for me!"

"Old thief Qingshan: Now that things have happened, will increasing the dose of medicine still be useful to me?"

"Indeed, mental patients with the level of old thief Qingshan have already developed drug resistance!"

"Awesome! I'm starting to understand everything!"

"Get out of the hospital!"

"Go back!"

…

However, the animation is not over yet, after Shinji Ikari makes the final decision.

Lilith's huge body finally began to fall apart, turning into blood and spreading.

Unit 1 appears again.

At this time, Nagisa Kaoru and Ayanami Rei exchanged words——

"Reality exists in the unknown..."

"Dreams exist in reality..."

"And the truth exists in the heart..."

"Because the image of a person is shaped by his heart."

"And new images will change people's hearts and forms..."

…

At the sound of the two voices, Lilith's huge body completely separated and collapsed, falling to the ground covered with crosses.

"Image, imagination, our future..."

"It was developed with the torrent of time..."

"It's just that if humans don't act on their own will..."

"Then nothing will change..."

"So the lost self can only be found by one's own strength...even if one loses one's own point of view or is confused by other people's remarks..."

"Anyone can regain their human form as long as they create their own image with their own heart."

Unit No. 1 directly pulled out the Gun of Longinus. When it returned to the shape of the Gun of Longinus, other mass-produced EVA bodies also changed, and their flesh and blood rolled and exploded.

Then everything started to change.

"Don't worry, all life has the power to recover."

"As long as I can think about living..."

What appeared this time was the voice of Shinji Ikari's mother, Yui Ikari. She said hopefully, "No matter where you are, it can be heaven, because... we are still alive, and there is a chance for happiness everywhere."

Unit-00 seemed to restore everything to its original state, and then Shinji Ikari met... his mother whom he had not seen for a long time - Yui Ikari.

She stroked Shinji Ikari's face, and then her body fell to the seabed behind her. She smiled and said to Shinji Ikari, "It's no problem anymore."

Shinji Ikari looked at his mother who was leaving and asked softly, "I still don't understand where happiness lies...but I will continue to think about the meaning of my coming to this world and the future..."

"I found that these are all things that should be done in order to maintain myself..."

However, Ikari Wei didn't respond to him anymore, and just kept falling into the deep sea.

And Shinji Ikari floated up until he floated to the sea, "Mom...Mom, what are you going to do?"

However, in front of him, Lilith's huge head looked at him, but gradually slipped from it and split into two halves.

This scene... looks a bit scary.

But at this moment, memories suddenly flowed, and there was a scene of Ikari Yui holding Shinji Ikari as an infant and talking with his teacher Fuyutsuki.

"Humans imitate gods and create EVA."

Dongyue expressed her concerns and said, "This is the real purpose."

However, Ikari Wei had no worries at all. She just teased Ikari Shinji, who didn't know anything, and said with a smile, "Well, humans can only survive on this planet, but EVA can survive forever, and the people who live in it can survive forever." People’s hearts are together.”

"Even if five billion years have passed and the moon, earth, and even the sun have disappeared, EVA will still exist."

"Even if only one person survives, it will be very lonely, but as long as you continue to live..."

In the picture, the moon, the earth, and the sun all appeared one by one. Finally, in the vast and empty universe, Unit 1 was floating there with the Gun of Longinus.

"Then the proof of human existence will remain forever."

…

At this time, Shinji Ikari finally understood, and then he finally said, "Goodbye, mother."

When Fan Siwei saw this plot, he suddenly remembered the finale of "Fist of Fire".

The earth was destroyed and mankind became extinct. Agni was floating in space, but met Yoda again.

In the finale of "Fire Fist", many people think that this means that everything is nothingness, whether human beings, civilization, or life, will eventually disappear.

But when Fan Siwei heard what his father said, he felt that "Fist of Fire" was actually about realistic existentialism.

Now the finale of "EVA" seems to have once again confirmed his thoughts.

Lin Qingshan... is a positive realistic existentialist.
