"Senior Yalin, what's wrong with you?"
Shinji Ikari rushed to his side and asked with some concern.
As Shinji Ikari approached, Ayrin sensed a subtle change in Unit-01, as if a ferocious beast was slowly awakening, eyeing Ayrin menacingly.
Yalin seemed to be pondering this.
In a flash, he extended his right palm toward Shinji Ikari, clearly displaying hostility in front of Unit-01's umbrella.
Unit-01 reacted immediately, attempting to punch Arlin to protect Shinji Ikari.
Before it could make a move, Yalin gently patted Shinji Ikari on the head, then stared at Unit-01 with amusement.
Unit-01 immediately ceased its actions and refrained from any further rash moves.
Seeing this, Yalin smiled calmly; this lady was far too easy to manipulate.
Volume 1: Chapter 99: Asuka (4k)
As the saying goes, "One thing subdues another."
Gendo Ikari and Fuyutsuki care deeply for Yui Ikari and hope to reunite with her; this can be used to target the two of them.
As for Yui Ikari, she cares most about Shinji Ikari, so Arlin only needs to make a slight move to control Unit-01.
Facing Unit-01's gaze, Yalin calmly patted Shinji Ikari's head again, making the boy a little embarrassed.
However, since it's Senior Yalin, this action isn't really anything special.
He just didn't know why, but he felt that the atmosphere around him had become oppressive, yet he couldn't find the source of the oppression.
This left Shinji Ikari completely bewildered, and he could only dismiss it as his own illusion.
A few seconds later, Yalin smiled slightly, sweeping away the dull atmosphere: "Shinji, you have a family member who loves you very much."
His tone was meaningful, and it was clearly visible to those around him.
"Ah, are you perhaps referring to Father?" Shinji Ikari was puzzled by the question. He hadn't noticed any of his relatives showing him any particular concern.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have developed such a gloomy and cowardly personality. Only when Yalin encouraged him did he cheer up and decide not to let him down.
“Of course not Commander Ikari, I'm referring to your mother, Yui Ikari, who loves you very much.”
Yalin had seen through Gendo Ikari and had no expectations of his ability to love.
In this respect, Gendo Ikari is even inferior to Shinji Ikari.
"Mother? Senior Yalin, do you know her?"
Shinji Ikari paused for a moment, then said with a mixture of confusion and excitement.
My memories of her are now hazy. He was just over three years old when Yui Ikari entered the Unit-01 experiment in 2004.
Even so, he still cared a great deal about his mother.
“I’ve heard so much about her, but I’ve never actually met her. However, I do know some information about her. But I can’t reveal the specifics for now, otherwise Commander Ikari would be furious,” Yalin said with a smile, leaving Shinji Ikari both saddened and curious.
"Mother...."
For him, the death of his mother, no matter how much she loved him, was the greatest regret of his life.
As for his father, to be honest, it didn't make much difference to him whether Gendo Ikari was alive or dead.
The father and son were as cold as enemies.
"Dr. Ikari is the person who loves you most in this world, without a doubt."
Seeing the boy's dejected expression, Yalin pondered for a moment and then said, "When you defeat the Fifth Apostle, I will tell you some information about Dr. Yui Ikari."
By then, Shinji Ikari will have matured considerably, and it will be time for him to experience the love from his mother.
Although this love is equally heavy.
One of the main reasons Yui Ikari entered Unit-01 was for Shinji's sake, hoping to give him a bright future.
Otherwise, if the experiment had gone wrong, they would have been able to detach from Unit-01, but Yui Ikari refused.
Gendo Ikari's jealousy of his son was not without reason.
"Senior Yarin, are you serious? I will do my best." Shinji Ikari perked up upon hearing this. For him, who had lost his father's love, his mother was an important pillar of support.
Unfortunately, no one was willing to talk about her, so Shinji knew very little about her. Therefore, he longed to know everything.
"But what about my father?" After his initial joy, Shinji Ikari hesitated again.
"So please keep it a secret when the time comes," Yalin said with a smile, then exchanged a glance with Unit-01.
At this moment, Unit-01's vigilance lessened somewhat, but it still paid attention to the interaction between the two.
Dr. Yui Ikari, are you satisfied with my explanation?
Yalin silently conveyed this message to Unit-01, but the unit showed no reaction.
Shinji Ikari, however, was determined to defeat the Fifth Angel.
......
"Lin, you care about Shinji Ikari a lot." On the way home, Rei Ayanami said this, her tone as calm as ever.
The two strolled home, walking towards the setting sun. The city was magnificent, yet it possessed a desolate air.
Under the threat of the apostles, those who could relocate chose to leave the city to avoid becoming casualties in the battle.
After all, not everyone wants to be a bloodthirsty spectator.
Therefore, their unusual temperaments, so different from ordinary people, became a unique sight in Dodge, attracting the attention of many.
“It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. He’s a good kid; he doesn’t need to bear so much undue burden,” Yalin said with a slight smile, then looked at Rei Ayanami. “Aren’t you happy?”
"I do have that feeling, Rin. Am I going to become a bad kid?" Rei Ayanami's eyes were filled with doubt; she couldn't understand this emotion.
The desire to not give up Yalin was so strong that she wouldn't allow anyone to take him away.
“These are normal human emotions, which means you are becoming more and more human. There’s no need to worry about it too much.” Yalin smiled. “Besides, I care about you more, that’s for sure.”
"You hold a special place in my heart, and there is hardly anyone in the whole world who can compare to you."
This is true whether you approach it from a rational or emotional perspective.
"Hearing Lin's answer, I...I'm very happy." Rei Ayanami's heart skipped a beat, her emotions filled with joy.
She was satisfied with the answer.
"Because I care about Lin the most too."
Rei Ayanami's gaze lingered on Ayrin's face, then she took his hand and placed it on her cheek, responding earnestly, her crimson pupils revealing no falsehood.
As I gazed at it, my thoughts suddenly drifted back to several years ago, to the time when I was living in Room 3 of the Artificial Evolution Research Institute.
It was a dirty, messy room filled with white light and the smell of disinfectant, surrounded by various research instruments. What formed Rei Ayanami's deepest impression were the bandages, water cups, and pills.
As a clone created as a tool, she was born with many defects, plagued by diseases, and dependent on drugs.
Their only value is surviving in a dilapidated room, waiting for death to come.
Even when Gendo Ikari occasionally visited her, there was no warmth in his eyes. She was not allowed to do anything outside the rules, and could only repeat the same monotonous and painful life over and over again like a puppet.
The only time she was allowed to leave was when she was instructed to relay the words to Dr. Akagi's mother, which led to her first death.
Even though she lacked most of her memories, that suffocating feeling remained etched in her mind and was unforgettable.
When she emerged from the incubation chamber again, she was still living in that gloomy room, leading a life no different from usual.
Ultimately, he will likely be sacrificed to carry out Gendo Ikari's mission to become a god.
Until one day, a completely unfamiliar young man appeared in the room.
The young man looked around the room, then reached out his hand to the young girl, his smile warm and radiant like the sun: "Would you like to come with me? I'll take care of you from now on."
She remained silent for a long time before finally extending her hand.
This was the only time she made a decision based on her own will.
From that moment on, the girl named Rei Ayanami was completely changed.
"Ayanami?"
"Lin, please stay by my side forever." Rei Ayanami came back to her senses and looked at Ayanami with a faint smile.
.....
Germany, NERV Third Branch.
The red-painted Unit 2 completed various combat exercises in the virtual battlefield, demonstrating its prowess in both long-range shooting and close-quarters combat, with an astonishingly high synchronization rate.
When it came to fighting the Water Angel, Unit 2's attacks became even more ferocious, attempting to unleash a stronger force than before in order to suppress the enemy.
After a period of struggle, defeat the simulated water angel.
The branch secretary on one side clapped his hands incessantly, his face full of smiles.
The fact that Unit 2 was able to demonstrate such strength is a good achievement and reward for her.
When the exercise ended, an orange-haired girl emerged from the insertion plug, looking displeased, clearly not satisfied with the result.
According to the battle report, the first chosen one was able to easily overwhelm the water angel, and was completely at ease throughout the entire process.
Even when the apostle self-destructed, it was suppressed, demonstrating incredible strength.
Based on her current performance, she is far inferior to her opponent.
This was unacceptable to Asuka; if she didn't have detailed information about the battle, she would probably have thought it was a prank.
But with the facts right in front of her, Asuka could only stare at Unit-02 and fall into deep thought.
Strange, since Unit-00 and Unit-01 were just prototypes and experimental models created during the development process, their performance should not be comparable to Unit-02, which was built for actual combat.
Why is the first eligible candidate able to display such outrageous strength?
Her synchronization rate with the other person was not much different.
I can't understand it, I can't comprehend it, this doesn't make sense!
Asuka stubbornly believes there is a problem and refuses to admit that she is weaker than Rei Ayanami.
Unless... Yalin taught Rei Ayanami something.
