Chapter 1154
Gendo Ikari: WC Box!
Yui Ikari sat up straight instinctively, her eyes full of confusion, waiting for Choi Ming to continue. Choi Ming waved his hand, his tone casual: "Never mind, it's too convoluted to explain. Wait a minute, Kiras brothers! Come here for a second!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the entrance was gently pushed open, and two enormous figures slowly walked in—the Gilas brothers, with burly figures and strange appearances. They carried a faint aura of monsters, but without any aggression; instead, they exuded a sense of gentleness.
"????"
Ritsuko and Yui froze on the spot, their mouths slightly agape, speechless, their lips even twitching slightly. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: Seriously?! They just finished talking about monsters from other worlds, and now two of them have appeared?! And they're even in Choi Myung's house?!
They had expected Cui Ming to give some complicated explanation, but instead he summoned two monsters directly. This was even more outrageous than hearing "the world was destroyed." Misato and Zeppelin, on the other hand, remained calm, clearly having already met the Kiras brothers and showing no surprise whatsoever.
Cui Ming raised his chin, gesturing for the two to look at the Kiras brothers, his tone casual as if introducing an ordinary pet: "As you can see, these are monsters, but they've been shrunk down by me, otherwise this house wouldn't be able to fit them."
With that, he waved to the Kiras brothers, his tone somewhat indulgent: "Go eat your barbecue, you don't need to stay here with us."
The Kiras brothers immediately nodded obediently, their massive bodies swaying slightly without making a sound. They turned and walked docilely toward the kitchen, their steps light and quick, showing none of the ferocity they displayed on the alien planet.
Ritsuko and Yui Ikari watched this scene, their lips twitching even more violently—these weren't some monsters capable of destroying the world, they were clearly two obedient large pets! Choi Myung seemed to see through their thoughts and added calmly, "Don't be fooled by how well-behaved they are now, they're quite fierce outside, they just don't dare to misbehave in front of me."
The subtext of these words couldn't be clearer—after all, Cui Ming really could beat them to death. He had used a lot of force to subdue the two brothers, and that intimidation was enough to make them completely docile and obedient.
After a long while, Yui Ikari finally managed to find her voice, her tone filled with disbelief, and she asked softly, "Is that the monster you were talking about, the one more terrifying than the Angels?"
“That’s right.” Cui Ming nodded slightly, his tone calm. “They are called the Kiras Brothers. They are monsters from another planet, but I have already subdued them, and now they are following me.” As he spoke, he waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of reminder, “Don’t underestimate them. In their prime, they could launch tsunami beams, and single-handedly, they could cause a tsunami to engulf the entire country of Japan.”
"."
Ritsuko and Yui fell into a deathly silence once more, their faces turning deathly pale. The speechlessness and shock they had felt moments before were now replaced by profound fear. If just two monsters could engulf Japan, how powerful would the monster that Choi had mentioned, the one that was about to "easily tear apart the Angels," be? They didn't even dare to imagine the scene; a chill ran down their spines, and their scalps tingled.
Yui Ikari pressed her throbbing temples, her fingertips applying slight pressure. Her brows were furrowed with exhaustion and confusion, and even her voice was somewhat hoarse: "So... what exactly happened? The world being bombed, monsters from other worlds, Mr. Sextant's madness—I just can't put it all together."
Ritsuko frowned, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the sofa, her expression grave—the successive shocks were almost too much for this highly intelligent researcher to process, yet she still forced herself to remain calm, waiting for Choi Myung's explanation. Choi Myung sat down on the sofa, his tone still flat, devoid of any extra emotion, as if he were recounting someone else's story: "Well, I generally don't like to lie, so I'll tell you the specifics."
He looked up at the two of them and slowly began to reveal the secrets of the past: "The world you are in now is actually the reset version. The previous world was completely destroyed. The trigger was Rokubungi Gendo and the committee behind him."
These words struck them like a boulder, causing Yui's hand to suddenly stop, and Ritsuko's eyes to widen instantly.
"Destroyed?" Ritsuko's voice trembled slightly. "Just because of Rokubun Gigendo? What exactly is he trying to do?"
“He doesn’t want to do anything, he just wants to cause trouble.” Cui Ming’s tone was impatient, and when he mentioned Rokubun Gigendo, he was full of sneer. “Everything he does has only one starting point—to see Ikari Yui, who has been completely destroyed and can never come back.”
He paused, then added, his tone full of sarcasm: "He went completely mad just to see a dead man. Before, in order to achieve his goal, he even thought of the most outrageous methods, and even planned to turn all of humanity into orange juice, using this twisted method to reconstruct the world he wanted, just so he could 'reunite' with that Yui Ikari."
"."
The two froze completely, forgetting even to slow their breathing. Yui's face turned pale, a chill running through her—she couldn't imagine that someone could be so obsessed with "another self" that they would go so far as to destroy all of humanity; Ritsuko's brows furrowed, her eyes filled with disbelief. Rokubun Gigendo's obsession and madness far exceeded her comprehension. Compared to the threat of the Angels, this madness of being driven to the brink of destruction by one's own people was even more chilling.
Cui Ming paused, his tone becoming more sarcastic, as if he had remembered something extremely ridiculous, and slowly added, "There's something even more ridiculous that you probably don't know."
Ritsuko and Yui Ikari looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with complicated emotions—Rokubungi Gendo was already crazy and outrageous enough, what could be more ridiculous?
"In that shattered world, Yui Ikari's greatest wish before her death was for Rokubun Gigendo to protect their son and watch him grow up." Choi Myung leaned back on the sofa, his tone almost overflowing with sarcasm. "And what happened? This guy did nothing but cling to his obsession and acted crazy all day long, ignoring the life and death of his child. He drove a perfectly healthy child to become autistic, not even daring to utter a single word."
Yui's heart clenched, her fingertips clenched until they turned white, her eyes filled with disbelief and a barely perceptible sting—even knowing that it was someone from another world, someone unrelated to her, hearing a mother's wish so disregarded, hearing the child she had never met being tormented like this, she still couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.
