Chapter 1307
The monster can even smoke?!
Communication conflict between SEELE and Gendo Ikari
People from the SEELE organization contacted Rokufen Gigendo.
The communication screen lit up, its blue light casting a cold glow in the dim room.
The face of Gendo Ikari that appeared on their screen looked very calm. His pale face even carried his usual gloom and sense of control. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce through the screen, and his lips were pursed into a tight line, as if everything was under his control.
However, after Kiro Lorenz told Gendo Ikari to hurry back to NERV headquarters to fight for control with the acting commander, Choi Myung, he was told to hurry back to headquarters.
“You must come back now.” Kiro Lorenz’s voice came from the speakers, hoarse and slow, with an undeniable sense of pressure. “Cui Ming’s position as acting commander is too secure. People in the organization have begun to question your leadership. If you don’t show up soon, I’m afraid that kid will eat up even your last bit of say.”
The screen at Gendo Ikari was pulled back, and the camera's perspective slowly retreated from the close-up.
They then realized that Gendo Ikari was covered in bandages!
Layers of white bandages wrapped around his torso, from his chest down to his waist, with dark red bloodstains visible in several places. His arms and legs were fixed in casts and splints, making him look like a rag doll that had been disassembled and haphazardly pieced back together. There was no trace of the usual authority of the commander who controlled NERV.
Then Gendo Ikari berated him, saying that he was in such a state that he couldn't possibly go to NERV headquarters!
"Kirul Lorenz, are you blind?! Look at me now! Not a single part of my body is in good condition, my arm is broken, my leg is crippled, I need help even to get out of bed, and you expect me to fight that bastard for a voice?! I can barely hold a pen, how am I supposed to fight?! You bunch of old codgers who talk without understanding the pain, come and try it yourselves if you dare!" He roared, his face red, veins bulging on his neck, wincing and gasping for breath in pain as he pulled at his wounds, but his voice didn't falter at all, "I'm a fucking cripple now! A cripple, don't you understand?! You want me to go and die?!"
But Kiro Lorenz laughed, a meaningful smile spreading across his wrinkled face. His eyes narrowed into slits, revealing gleaming white teeth. The smile was full of calculation and indifference, as if he were watching a good show.
"Don't worry, we've sent people over." He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a soft tapping sound. "We'll escort you there and ensure your safety. After all, you're still useful to us at SEELE, and we can't let you become useless like this."
Gendo Ikari was horrified. His mind went blank, and half of his blood ran cold because he suddenly remembered something deadly—the Kiras brothers, who were with Choi Ming, were still outside the door!
Those two monsters are currently roaming the corridor. They just beat him half to death. If the people SEELE sent run into those two freaks...
"Wait! Don't let them..." Before he could finish his sentence, the communication was cut off.
Then those people were brutally beaten by the Kiras brothers.
The corridor echoed with chaotic footsteps and shouts, followed by the muffled thuds of heavy objects hitting the walls, the cracking of bones breaking, and horrific screams. The resounding thuds of fists pounding flesh mingled with the low growls of the Kiras brothers and the desperate wails of the others. The entire floor shook, dust fell from the walls, and the ward doors rattled loudly.
Gendo Ikari lay on the bed, listening to the commotion outside. His face was deathly pale, and his lips were trembling. He knew that he was completely doomed this time.
After the Giras brothers dealt with the SEELE agents outside, the corridor finally quieted down, save for faint groans and the rustling sound of flesh dragging across the floor. Red Giras shook the blood off his fist, while the black Black Giras dusted himself off. The two monsters exchanged a glance, grinned with satisfaction, and turned to walk towards the ward door.
The two brothers happily walked into the ward.
The door panel was squeezed and warped, creaking under the strain. "Hehehe, you're not being honest!" Although these two couldn't speak, their expressions said it all. Red Gilas's eyes curved into two crescent moons, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, revealing his gleaming white fangs. Black Gilas excitedly rubbed his two enormous claws together, his knuckles cracking, his eyes filled with a mocking and vengeful pleasure, as if to say, "Weren't you pretty fierce just now? Why aren't you so aggressive now?"
Then... these two started beating up Gendo Ikari.
Red Gilas punched Gendo Ikari in the shoulder, the force perfectly controlled—enough to inflict excruciating pain without killing him outright. Black Gilas followed with a kick to his shin, shattering the cast-iron plaster instantly. Gendo Ikari let out a piercing scream: "Ah ...
The voice was shrill and abnormal, completely unlike what a middle-aged man could produce. It sounded more like a terrified little girl, her high notes cracking and the last syllable trembling with a sob, echoing in the ward and sending chills down everyone's spine. Gendo Ikari's tears flowed uncontrollably, his face streaked with snot, and he curled up on the bed, trembling. Gone was all traces of the NERV commander's authority; he looked like a wronged little wife.
Red Kiras also took the time to make a phone call to Choi Ming.
It pulled a small communicator from its pocket, one that Cui Ming had specially equipped for them. Its red paws clumsily pressed the buttons, and a low growl followed the call, as if reporting mission progress. Cui Ming's chuckled voice came from the other end: "Alright, don't kill them. They'll be useful."
After making the call, he asked his brother Blackkillas to go outside for a smoke.
Blackkiras nodded, turned and walked out of the ward, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and put one in his mouth. Although it was quite outrageous for a monster to smoke, no one dared to say anything. The medical staff and agents lying haphazardly in the corridor pretended not to see anything, all keeping their heads down and not daring to breathe.
Some nurses even set it on fire.
A young nurse, trembling, pulled a lighter from her pocket. Her face was deathly pale, and her hands shook like leaves. She managed to light it with great difficulty, then tiptoed closer to Blackgiras. The black monster lowered its head, its enormous nostrils spewing out two plumes of white smoke. The cigarette butt ignited, wisps of blue smoke rising from it. The nurse was terrified, tears welling in her eyes, but she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. After lighting the cigarette, she vanished in a flash.
Only Red Gilles and Gendo Ikari remained in the ward. Gendo Ikari stared at the red monster before him, listening to his brother leisurely smoking outside the door. He closed his eyes in despair, tears streaming down his face. He knew he was in for a beating today.
"No...don't come any closer..." he pleaded in a high-pitched, tearful voice, like a frightened little girl, "Please...ahh ...
Red Kiras grinned, raising his fist once more. (End of Chapter)
