I really can't control myself.

Chapter 1647 Scientists

"Please, Ritsuko..." At this time, in the studio of the First Institute of Technology, Katsuragi Misato was begging Akagi Ritsuko with folded hands.In the original situation, Katsuragi Misato should have brought Linton and Asuna back to the place where they lived, but now they have encountered a problem, that is... Katsuragi Misato has 12 unpaid car loans and has just stopped working. .

Yes, this car has been severely damaged before, and it was even hung on a tree. It is really strong to be able to drive to the NERV headquarters this way.But now this car really can't even start.Katsuragi Misato, who had been trying for a long time, could only temporarily give up on it, and then began to find someone to borrow a car. Of course, the first person was her friend Ritsuko Akagi.

"Why are you so troublesome every time..." Ritsuko Akagi said, "It's been like this since college..."

"It's just a borrowed car. Anyway, you spend most of your time in the research room. It shouldn't matter if you lend me a few days. My car should be repaired in a few days... probably." Misato Katsuragi Said.

There is nothing wrong with saying this. Although Ritsuko Akagi also has a residence, she spends most of the night directly at the NERV headquarters, because she is a bit busy with scientific research work, and she was originally alone. It is better to sleep in the scientific research room than to sleep in the same room, at least there are other people under him.

"Okay..." Ritsuko Akagi quickly agreed to Katsuragi Misato's request, but when she was about to get the car keys here, she suddenly found that Asuna behind Linton was checking the situation in the research room. .Ritsuko Akagi raised a warning sign. After all, she also knows the current situation of the two people. Although it is said to be cooperation on the surface, if the purpose of the two is unclear, it is still necessary to guard against it.

"Well, do you want to visit the scientific research room?" Ritsuko Akagi asked directly. Of course, there is a lot of black technology in the scientific research room of NERV, just like a random document on the desk next to it may be the information of a weapon of mass destruction.I just read what other people said, and I can't understand those messy formulas anyway, and it's impossible to write them down, but after knowing that Asuna is a robot, Akagi Ritsuko is still very careful.

Although she was asking Asuna if she wanted to visit, it was actually reminding her that Asuna was looking around.Of course, if Linton and the others really accepted the call and wanted to visit, Ritsuko Akagi would definitely say that the visit required approval from superiors or something.

To be honest, Akagi Ritsuko really hopes that Linton and the others are here to steal NERV's technology, because then things will be a little simpler.As one of the few people who really knew the situation of NERV, it would be more troublesome if the opponent's target was something else, such as the thing on the cross deep underground.

"I guess she doesn't want to visit, but wants to take it away directly." Linton said with his forehead, probably understanding what Asuna meant.Isn't this Asuna building her own underground laboratory before? The materials can be said to be patchwork. Most of the equipment was purchased from Marvel, and some were put together by herself. In short, it looks like a mess. Compared with the one-piece, unified specifications, and complete types of equipment in the scientific research room here, Asuna obviously wants it.

"Take it away?" Akagi Ritsuko asked.

"Simply speaking, she is preparing to build her own laboratory here, and she almost lacks equipment." Linton said, "By the way, I didn't shoot the apostle, so the corpse should belong to our Earth Defense Force, and now it is Is it a bit too much for you to pull me to do research? Otherwise, you NERV will compensate us with some scientific research equipment, which is considered a transaction, so there is no problem."

Linton's side is also a temporary idea, and Asuna's side is helping her with research after all, and of course she also supports it a little.Ritsuko Akagi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the other party to ask for such a strange thing, just these instruments next to her?

"Then... what kind of equipment do you need?" Akagi Ritsuko asked, "I can't make decisions about this kind of thing. I still need to apply to the higher authorities. If it is some special equipment..."

"She will explain to you the specifics. If the price cannot be negotiated, I will fight other apostles in the future, and I can always make up enough. If we can't make up enough, we can only grab it." Linton said , "You just report to the higher-ups like this."

"I... got it, and I will report it to the higher authorities." Ritsuko Akagi nodded, and then looked at Linton who seemed hesitant to speak.

"Can't you just say something straight?" Linton said.

"Well, can I ask, you just said that she wanted to build a laboratory herself, and she did the research?" Akagi Ritsuko asked.

"Yeah, I'm not a scientist. Haven't you heard of us... Just our family motto? Engaging in technology is a dead end. I know several scientists who claim to be geniuses. They can't repair cars at critical moments. If they have What's the use? It depends on magic to save the world," Linton said.

Ritsuko Akagi, who has a lot of troubles, doesn't know where to start, so why do scientists need to know how to repair cars, and she won't be okay? What kind of prejudice is this that scientists must be able to repair everything? In a bank Do you need to understand finance to do sweeping work?
And the topic was a bit misdirected by Linton. She asked this question at the beginning because she wanted to ask Asuna how a robot does scientific research. Scientific research is a job that requires creativity. Can this robot do it?
Of course, she didn't have time to complain at all, and she didn't have time to ask her previous questions. Instead, she paid more attention to another word: "Magic?"

"Why so surprised?" Linton asked.

"No... the magic you're talking about is that magic, right?" Akagi Ritsuko asked.

"Could it be any other kind of magic?" Linton said, "For example, miracles can only be called magic, and other settings can only be called magic? Is this also a popular saying here?"

"That...although I don't understand it, but magic, it should...doesn't exist." Akagi Ritsuko said.

"Didn't I demonstrate it to you? If you say so, the apostle will die in peace." Linton said.

"Is that magic? The kind that picks up people and swings them around as weapons?" Katsuragi Misato next to him couldn't help but say.

"What do you know, are you a magician? Do you know magic? I am, so I say this is magic and it is magic." Linton said, "Do you know Gandalf, the benchmark of our magic world? He created the melee mage This great profession, and to carry it forward..."

"Do you think I don't know the book The Lord of the Rings?" Katsuragi Misato interrupted Linton directly.

"Uh...there is such a book." Linton raised his forehead, "In short, I am a magician, and what I use is magic."

"So you used a kind of time magic when you prevented the apostle from exploding?" Ritsuko Akagi said suddenly.

"By the way, that's the right way of thinking." Linton nodded like a child can teach, "It's time magic."

"That's...backtracking in time?" Of course, Misato Katsuragi also saw the scene at that time. She thought that Linton used a special method to prevent the apostle's self-destruction, but she didn't think about going back in time at all. After all, manipulating time Such things are indeed too exaggerated, it is definitely the level of miracles, and Linton can really do it.

"Can you demonstrate it to me?" Ritsuko Akagi said directly. After all, she is a scientist. When encountering such things that cannot be explained by current science, she is also eager to know the principle.

"No problem." Linton waved his right hand without waiting for the two to respond.Hearing the sound of "pazz", Ritsuko Akagi's head was blown up in an instant, and blood splattered everywhere.

Everything happened so fast that no one had time to react.Katsuragi Misato next to her didn't even react when Ritsuko Akagi's blood splashed on her face. She didn't realize what had happened until the door of the scientific research room next to her suddenly opened and two men in suits rushed in. .

Yes, the two men who came in were naturally the ones on NERV's side to keep an eye on Linton and Asuna.Of course, the job of monitoring cannot be left to Katsuragi Misato alone. Ikari Gendo doesn’t believe Linton’s words at all, so Katsuragi Misato is only superficially monitoring, and the intelligence department is his real eyes and ears.

Originally, when Linton came to the scientific research room, the two people who followed and monitored him were very nervous, but unexpectedly, something happened suddenly without warning, and they had no time to deal with it. It was obviously too late when they came in.

But the opening of the gate brought Katsuragi Misato back to his senses. Looking at the headless body of Akagi Ritsuko, Katsuragi Misato shouted directly: "Ryukko!"

However, before she could do anything, suddenly everything began to go backwards, and the flesh and blood fragments of Ritsuko Akagi's exploded head flew back from all directions, and then re-formed her head. This strange situation once again made everyone present Some didn't know how to react.

"Um... did I just... have my head exploded?" Ritsuko Akagi said in a daze.

"Yeah, do you feel much clearer now?" Linton said.

"Who would blow someone's head off after just a demonstration!" Katsuragi Misato who was next to him suddenly understood Linton's logic at this time, and shouted directly.

"Isn't this teaching by precept and example, besides, there is nothing more convenient than her head here..."

"Shut up!" After this incident, Katsuragi Misato probably realized that the job she just took may be more troublesome than she imagined. This Linton is a big trouble in itself.
