"… I see."
Ah Xing lay on the hammock and stared straight at the sky.
After the order to retreat was issued, some Nerv members came up to ask them to retreat as well. However, this group of people must have received the order as they spoke in an unusually polite manner. When Roger and the others rejected them, they simply left and did not make things difficult for them or pester them.
"It's just a simple test. Don't worry about it," Xiao sat beside Ah Xing and said while eating pudding.
At that moment, everyone had already arrived at the top floor of the house and looked directly at the sky. Of course, everyone present except Roger and Ah Xing did not know what the two of them were looking at. Perhaps Xiao could guess something, but he did not say anything. Ah Xing muttered to himself.
Ah Xing muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Yes, it's a test. After all, Roger is the only apostle, or the only apostle they know who can communicate with humans. This is too important. He is not just an apostle, but also a key to unlocking the unsolvable ending. So this test must be Ge Chengmei's idea. In other words, the Nerv Headquarters has not contacted Ianyuan Hall yet."
"Of course. If they have contacted Anchor Origin Hall, then we won't be so safe now. After all, in this new movie, the identity of Anchor Origin Hall is actually the biggest hidden content," Xiao said while eating pudding with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Anchor Origin Hall …"
Ah Xing and Xiao were conversing with each other. Most of the people sitting around did not understand what they were saying. They only felt that Ah Xing and Xiao's conversation was very impressive. Although they did not understand, they still felt that it was impressive.
"There's a change."
Right at this moment, Roger suddenly spoke.
Ah Xing immediately sat up straight and looked at the sky. There was a flash of electricity in his eyes. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "No, it's not working at all. I still can't see … What's the situation?"
Roger said without turning his head, "Just as Xiao said, the apostle's attack method has changed. It didn't fall from the sky like in the anime. Instead, it's flying towards the moon."
After the Nerv members came, Xiao suddenly suggested that everyone go to the balcony on the top floor of this house. He said that it was very likely that the apostle would not fall directly like in the original plot. As for what the situation was, they would have to confirm it when the time came. Coincidentally, Roger could directly see this apostle through the perception of the Light of the Soul and the Realm, so everyone followed Xiao's suggestion and went directly to the balcony.
"Flying to the moon?" Ah Xing frowned and tapped his forehead with his finger. After a long while, he said, "Could he have gone to the moon to meet Xun? But that's not possible. Xun has another purpose and it's different from the apostle's. At least in the new movie, he doesn't intend to destroy mankind and the world. If it's not to meet up, could it be that he is going to the moon base to destroy SEELE's important facilities … "
At that moment, Xiao stopped eating the pudding and pulled out a few strands of his hair. He blew hard and said, "No, that's not right … I think it's accelerating."
"Accelerating?"
Ah Xing and the rest said in unison.
"Yes, accelerating …"
Xiao waved his finger in a circle in the sky and said, "Using the gravity of the moon and earth to accelerate, and then after maximizing the speed, the power of the fall is far greater than in the anime by several times, or even several dozen times. This is not something that three EVAs can resist. If this is the case, then the apostle is very likely to go to the moon."
"This, how is it possible … No, there's one possibility." Ah Xing almost shouted. Halfway through, he was stunned and said, "There's one possibility that what you said is happening … is it a test?"
Xiao suddenly laughed like a child and said, "Yes, it's a test. That's right."
"I see … it's a test."
Ah Xing lay down on the hammock again. He muttered and pondered. The conversation between the two of them had made Roger confused and anxious. He asked casually, "What are you talking about? What kind of test are you trying to test me? The apostle is trying to attack the earth? Or is this also the arrangement of Gecheng Meili? "
Ah Xing rolled his eyes at Roger and said, "Who is Gecheng Meili? If she has such power, she would have destroyed all the apostles and the forces behind them. You should know that her background is irreconcilable with the apostles … It's not wrong to say that the apostle is trying to test us. But more accurately, it's SEELE who is trying to test us … "
"Seele?" Many people repeated the question in confusion.
"That's right." Ah Xing closed his eyes and said, "No matter if it's the original EVA or the new movie version, the relationship between SEELE and the apostles is always intertwined. There are many details that almost made it clear that SEELE and the apostles are in cahoots. The most obvious thing is that in the boss' EVA and the new movie version, the situation of EVA No.3 that was parasitized by the apostles appeared at the same time. The arrangement of EVA No.3, the location of the base and the role that SEELE played in it, almost made it clear that it was done by SEELE … Let's not talk about this. Let me ask you, Roger, is the Light of the Soul something that every life has?"
Roger nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, the Light of the Soul is the deepest part of one's consciousness, the deepest part of one's soul, the deepest part of one's heart. It's the barrier of the heart, the flame of the heart, the light of the heart. Every life as long as it is a life, then it will definitely have the Light of the Soul. It's just that many lives, no, most of the lives have the Light of the Soul hidden in the deepest part of the heart, consciousness and soul. It can't be seen and can't be used. It's just that it's the only function of maintaining the existence of an individual."
"So that's his nature." Ah Xing's eyes were still closed as he continued, "Roger, as you know, I gradually touched the edge of the Light of the Soul, but the inner demons came at the same time. Therefore, I searched for a large number of books on philosophy, religion, reality and humanities. Among them, I found some words that described the Light of the Soul in the Buddhist scriptures, which is the so-called 'true nature'. Everyone has a Spiritual Mountain in their heart, as if they came from the mountain. This Tathagata is probably referring to the Light of the Soul. Of course, this is only my understanding. I have digressed a little. At this point, you should know that even an ordinary human has the Light of the Soul. This was also reflected in the old version of EVA. At the end of the anime, Asuka had the Light of the Soul. Although she used it through EVA, she had indeed started to embody the power of the Light of the Soul. However, in the world of EVA, there was always a clear statement that after the creation of the world, humans had the Fruit of Wisdom, while the apostles had the Fruit of Life. Therefore, only the apostles had the Light of the Soul, and humans didn't. However, in the storyline, it was repeatedly mentioned that the Light of the Soul is the barrier of the human spirit, and humans have the Light of the Soul. In the old version of the Human Completion Project, the biggest function was to open up the spiritual barrier of all humans, which meant that all humans had the Light of the Soul. Although there was only one after fusion, this also indirectly showed that one of the goals of SEELE was to let ordinary humans have the Light of the Soul …"
"And then?" Roger did not seem to understand at all. He asked blankly, "What does this have to do with SEELE's probing?"
Ah Xing sighed. He opened his eyes and said, "As mentioned earlier, SEELE and the apostles are inextricably linked. Hence, to a certain extent, we can assume that all the apostles are created by SEELE. It is entirely possible that they control them. Then, you have displayed the power of the Light of the Soul. You are not created or controlled by them. Furthermore, you claim that you are an apostle. Then, what will happen?"
"Our trick has been exposed? Then, we are surrounded? "Roger scratched his head and asked blankly again.
"I'm going to beat you up …" Ah Xing said with disappointment, "If all these hypotheses are true, then one thing will happen! That is, SEELE knows that there are ordinary humans who possess the Light of the Soul! Do you understand now? They know that you are not an apostle. However, you possess the Light of the Soul. This is what SEELE has been pursuing and dreaming of! However, they are still not sure if the power you possess is the real Light of the Soul. Hence, they are probing you. They hope that you will display your power! "
"Oh, oh, oh, I understand now!" Roger chuckled as he looked up at the sky and said, "You want me to go and destroy this apostle, right?"
Ah Xing sighed and said, "No, it's better that we don't take any action. Although I don't know what SEELE is thinking, this test is already so obvious. Let's just stay still and do nothing. Let's see if SEELE really dares to destroy the world."
However, Xiao laughed and said, "Why don't we take action? Since SEELE has already made his move, of course, we have to take action … Why don't we look for Gecheng Meili directly and tell her to let us enter the Final Dogma? "
After hearing Ah Xing's analysis, Ah Xing was completely dumbfounded. The rest of the people started to deny it after hearing Ah Xing's analysis. They did not think that they could take action on this matter. If they were to say these words to Ge Chengmei, Ge Chengmei would immediately send three EVAs to attack them. After all, they had revealed their identities as apostles. Apostles were close to the final dogma. This was clearly the outcome of the third collision.
"No! Xiao is right! "
Ah Xing suddenly shouted, "Xiao, you are really a genius! You are right! Let's look for Gecheng Meili! Then, tell her that we are going to the Final Dogma! I want to see if the apostle in the sky will come down immediately or accelerate before he comes down. Hahaha … "
"I am really looking forward to SEELE's reaction!"
