Chapter 1203
Ayanami Rei
"Hey you, why are you so expressionless the whole time?"
Asuka stood with her hands on her hips, frowning, her tone full of impatience, her eyes fixed on the girl in front of her.
The girl in front of me was slender, her face was so pale it was almost transparent, and her eyes were empty, like a soulless doll.
For some reason, Asuka felt a little annoyed by her lifeless appearance.
"."
The girl she was talking about simply lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes, and remained silent, not even sparing Asuka a glance.
Rei Ayanami, a product of a plan that has already been ruined.
No one knows the specifics of the plan; all that is known is that it died in the womb, and Rei Ayanami is the only "finished product" that survived.
She looks a lot like Yui Ikari.
The contours of his eyebrows and eyes, and his expression when quiet, are seven parts similar to Yui Ikari beside Choi Myung, but he lacks Yui's gentleness and has more of a chilling aloofness.
He is usually quiet and reserved.
He doesn't speak, laugh, or make a fuss. Even when deliberately harassed, he just stands quietly, like an emotionless sculpture.
This made Asuka very unhappy.
She couldn't stand this lifeless, indifferent attitude, as if nothing in the world concerned her.
By the way, Asuka is super annoyed right now!
His lips were pursed so low they could hold an oil bottle, his brows were furrowed even more, and he exuded an aura that said "Don't mess with me."
Why did Mom arrive early?!
She mentally ranted, her voice filled with grievance and resentment.
Why the hell am I going to be this late?!
They were both meant to be by Cui Ming's side, so why was it that Mom got to be with Cui Ming much earlier, while she had to arrive so late and miss so much time?
Therefore, they are currently the ones most attached to Cui Ming.
It's Asuka.
Wherever Cui Ming went, she followed. Even when Cui Ming went to the laboratory to research technology, she would sit quietly by his side, never causing trouble, but never leaving him either.
According to her, it's about making up for the lost time!
Whenever someone teases her, she tilts her head back and retorts with a righteous indignation, her tone full of stubbornness.
"I'm going to make up for all the time I've lost. Who told Cui Ming to wait for me for so long!"
Cui Ming was helpless.
Every time Asuka clung to him, he would just shake his head helplessly, but a hint of tenderness was hidden in his eyes.
He tried to let Asuka play by herself, but she absolutely refused, so he had no choice but to let her cling to him.
As for Rei Ayanami, since she was an experimental product, she didn't have many facial expressions.
It's not that she doesn't want to have expressions, but rather that her unique physical structure makes it naturally difficult for her to make complex expressions; joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all hard to convey on her face.
Rei Ayanami is somewhat of a cyborg.
They were artificially bred, without real "parents" or a childhood, and were given the meaning of experimentation from birth.
However, her research project was intercepted by Cui Ming's team as soon as it was completed, and it was completely shelved.
At the time, the secret laboratory was still working hard to perfect Rei Ayanami when Choi Myung arrived with his men and took control of the entire laboratory without lifting a finger.
All the research data was destroyed, the research equipment was sealed, and that absurd plan became a thing of the past.
When Cui Ming arrived, the entire Rokufen Yiyuan Hall went mad.
He was secretly observing outside the laboratory, waiting for Rei Ayanami to fully take shape, hoping to use this "product" to achieve his own goals. The moment he saw Choi Myung lead the team, his blood seemed to freeze, followed by overwhelming madness and resentment.
They didn't come earlier or later, they just came when the research was about to succeed!
He screamed hysterically in his heart, his eyes filled with bloodshot.
You'd be crazy not to do it on purpose!
Cui Ming must have done it on purpose, deliberately appearing just when he was about to succeed, deliberately sabotaging his plans, and deliberately going against him!
But what can Rokufengi Gendo do?
Looking at Cui Ming's formidable subordinates and Cui Ming's confident and powerful demeanor, his despair grew stronger.
He tried to stop it, but ended up getting a beating from Choi Myung!
He rushed forward recklessly, wanting to fight Cui Ming to the death, to protect Rei Ayanami, and to preserve his plans.
But he was no match for Cui Ming. Cui Ming only threw a few punches and beat him until he was bruised and swollen and collapsed on the ground, unable to even stand up.
He could only watch helplessly as Cui Ming took Ayanami Rei away, watching his plans completely fall apart. That sense of powerlessness almost consumed him.
Of course, Rokufengigendo also had other plans.
He had more than one hidden plan; he had already prepared a backup plan the moment he started planning to take back Yui Ikari.
But those backup plans were never his first choice.
But
Rei Ayanami is the meal replacement he really needs!
A hint of obsessive light flashed in Rokubungi Gendo's eyes, and a twisted smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Rei Ayanami looks seven-tenths like Yui Ikari. Her cool and quiet demeanor, even without Yui's gentleness, is enough to comfort his long-held obsession.
What he wanted was never Rei Ayanami herself, but her face that resembled Yui Ikari's. She was just a substitute for him to place his obsession on, a meal replacement to alleviate his pain.
Even he didn't want to activate that backup plan casually.
The mere thought of that part of the plan made Rokubungi Gendo tremble uncontrollably, his face turning deathly pale, his eyes filled with undisguised terror.
That fear was deep in his bones, more suffocating than being beaten or mocked by Cui Ming.
That terrifying existence
He didn't even dare to think about what that being looked like too much. As soon as he thought about it, he felt cold all over, as if he were being watched by some invisible force, and even breathing became difficult.
She looks almost exactly like Rei Ayanami, yet she's completely different.
That face was exactly like Rei Ayanami's, and also somewhat similar to Yui Ikari's, but their temperament and aura were worlds apart.
Rei Ayanami is aloof, empty, and soulless, while that being is insane, eerie, and terrifying, radiating an aura of destruction.
That person, Rokubun Gigendo absolutely denies, is Yui Ikari!
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, his tone full of determination and resistance.
No matter how similar the face is, he would never admit that the terrifying being is Yui Ikari, whom he cherishes dearly and desperately wants to reclaim.
Yui Ikari is gentle and beautiful, while that other being only brings destruction and fear; there is no comparison between the two.
That's right, Sextant, that idiot, just wanted to make a meal replacement first.
Knowing that he couldn't take back the real Yui Ikari for the time being, he thought of having a substitute, a substitute who looked like Yui Ikari, to support him in continuing his revenge and waiting for an opportunity.
Even if this stand-in has no soul, even if this stand-in is just an experimental product, he doesn't care.
But Choi Myung wouldn't even give him this meal replacement!
Thinking of this, Rokubun Gigendo couldn't help but roar out, his voice filled with resentment, anger, and despair.
Choi Myung not only took away Yui Ikari and ruined all his plans, but he also refused to leave her even a meal replacement that he had been fixated on.
What did he do wrong? Why did Cui Ming treat him like this? Why wouldn't he leave her even a sliver of hope?
That agonizing sense of helplessness once again completely consumed him, and the obsession and madness in his eyes intensified. (End of Chapter)
