Chapter 159 My dear, I killed the apostle in my dream (three in one)

There is only one middle school in the Third New Tokyo City. This middle school is on the street next to the NERV headquarters. There are not many students in the school. Since the Third Apostle Water Angel attacked here, many irrelevant personnel have moved away.

Ian stood on the escalator. The rotating escalator took him to the ground. He swiped his card through the gate of NERV and walked to the middle school where Asuka and Shinji were.

Very close, only 3 minutes walk.

Soon he saw the iron gate of the school. After showing his ID to the security guard at the door, he entered the school.

It's still morning, but it's eight o'clock in the morning. Not long ago, Asuka and Shinji arrived at the school gate in Misato Katsuragi's car.

"If I remember correctly, it should be this classroom."

Ian looked at the Class A sign above his head, knocked on the door, looked at the teacher in class, and showed his ID.

This school is run by NERV, and the teachers are all internal members of NERV.

The interrupted class caused the students in the class to whisper.

"A foreigner? So tall and handsome."

"I really want to get to know him."

"Who are you here for?"

"His eyes are beautiful, like gems."

The female students all stared at Ian's face intently, and Ian responded with a smile. Some thin-faced girls even lowered their heads with blushes.

But only one girl had an expressionless face. The girl sitting in the corner was wearing a sailor school uniform. Through the window, she stared at the empty basketball court on the playground, her eyes not shifting for a moment when the strange man arrived.

Rei Ayanami, the pilot of Unit Zero.

Because she piloted Unit Zero in the battle with the fifth apostle, she resisted the apostle's energy beam head-on, and is still recovering.

The fifth apostle, Thunder Angel, is by far the strongest apostle.

(Thunder Angel Picture)
Its appearance is a blue polyhedron. Under normal conditions, it can float in mid-air regardless of gravity, and it can also emit energy beams from extremely far away. Even EVA cannot withstand its attacks.

In order to defeat Thunder Angel, NERV once concentrated the power of all Japan. After neutralizing Thunder Angel's AT field, Unit [-] used a positron cannon to carry out long-distance sniping.

Unit [-] is the gun, and Unit [-] is the shield that protects Unit [-].

In that battle, even though Unit Zero used a special shield, it was still severely damaged. Until now, Unit Zero has not been repaired.

So in this battle, there was no participation of Rei Ayanami, only Asuka and Shinji.

"Quiet!" The teacher patted the textbook, suppressed the noisy class, and came to the door to communicate with Ian.

The teacher nodded and said to the classroom: "I'm here to see you, Shinji Ikari-san and Asuka-san."

Asuka and Shinji looked at each other, stood up from their seats, and came to the door.

When they saw Ian, they were generally prepared, probably the seventh apostle was coming.

The command room at NERV headquarters became busy, and the staff were staring at the data on the screens in front of them.

Misato Katsuragi made a preliminary plan and announced it to everyone.

"The defense system of the Third New Tokyo City has been severely damaged after experiencing the invasion of the Fifth Apostle."

"So far, the repair rate is 26%, but the actual operability rate can be said to be 0%, which means it cannot be used at all!"

"Obviously, we can't fight against the Seventh Apostle in the Third New Tokyo City, so we must defeat the Apostle in one fell swoop when he lands!"

"The estimated landing time of the Apostles is around 10:30 Japan time. There are still two hours left. The time is very tight. Before that, we need to transport the No. [-] and No. [-] units to the Iki Peninsula and prepare for the battle. Prepare!"

"Asuka, Shinji, you enter the insertion bolt now, NERV will use the plane to transport you and EVA to Suruga Bay."

Ian took Asuka and Shinji into the elevator together and went to the machine room where Unit [-] and Unit [-] were placed. Asuka, who put on combat uniform, flipped her hair: "The third qualified person, this is Unit [-] on Japanese soil. This is my first battle, please don’t let this amateur hold me back later.”

"I won't hold you back!" Shinji retorted in a rare move. Although he has always been weak, he is not without self-esteem.

He also wanted to perform well and prove that he was not just a freeloader.

"Really?" Asuka didn't care: "Forget it, it doesn't make any difference anyway. I can solve it by myself. You can just watch the show next to it."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Ian, who was walking in the middle, held the shoulders of the two of them: "You are both EVA pilots, are you companions?"

The elevator clanked and rushed upwards. In the next moment, the iron wall disappeared, and the huge Unit [-] and Unit [-] appeared behind the mesh wire. In the field of vision, the EVA armor reflected the metallic luster, cold and silent.

10:55 am, Suruga Bay, sunny.

A specially-made fighter plane flew across the sky and dropped the No. [-] and No. [-] units using backup power.

Two 40-meter-tall behemoths fell heavily to the ground.

In order to challenge the apostle, many military vehicles have been parked around, and combat aircraft carrying N2 thunderstorms are circling around.

Units No. [-] and [-] installed cables from the ground and entered a state of preparation for war.

The water surface floated, and Ian, who was at the NERV headquarters, saw the footage transmitted from the scene.

The seventh apostle appears!
(Music Angel Split Picture)

Ian always felt that this scene had a familiar feeling, and finally remembered that the seventh apostle was a guy with dual cores!
His channel is connected to Asuka and Shinji. Based on his outstanding performance against Fish Angel last time, Misato made him a member of the combat command. If you have any ideas, you can directly communicate with the driver and command staff in the channel. People communicate.

Unlike that time of Fish Angel, this time, he did not prepare Asuka and Shinji in advance. He only recalled the characteristics of that guy at this moment.

"It's been too long."

Ian sighed in his heart. Counting it all, it was already 30 or [-] years ago. It was his last life. Who can remember such a long memory clearly?
"It would be great if I could watch the DVD again and memorize the apostle's abilities."

Unfortunately, I can only think about it.

Asuka and Shinji have already seen the apostles landing.

Unit No. [-] holds a long-range weapon, and Unit No. [-] holds a long gun for combat.

Due to the excellent performance of Unit [-] in the last battle, Asuka was the output position and mainly attacked, while Shinji used bullets to cover the rear.

"Look, the third qualified person, this is the strength of me and Unit [-]!"

Unit No. [-] couldn't help but rush forward.

Shinji was sulking and didn't speak. He just followed the instructions and fired to cover.

"We've got it!" Unit No. [-] slashed from top to bottom, splitting the seventh apostle in half.

"It's awesome." Although Shinji was unhappy with Asuka's attitude, he couldn't help but marvel when faced with this scene. Asuka was indeed stronger than him in driving EVA.

However, the next second, Ian's call came from the headset.

"Careful, Asuka! That guy's not dead yet, it's split!"

"Split?" Asuka asked doubtfully, but based on her trust in Ian, she jumped away from the scene first.

Sure enough, on the plane where the apostle cut it in half, wriggling bright red sprouts appeared. Within seconds, the seventh apostle regrouped and became two.

"Damn it, this is a foul!" Asuka shouted.

"Pay attention to their chests!" Misato Katsuragi also reacted: "The seventh apostle should have two cores, Asuka and Shinji, you come together!"

"Yes!" Shinji controlled Unit-[-] and pulled out the high-vibration particle knife.

"Then let's deal with one first." Asuka said: "Hey, idiot Shinji, attack the one on the right with me!"

"No!" Ritsuko Akagi called up the analysis wave chart: "MAGI analyzed the energy image of the seventh apostle when he recovered. Asuka, you did hit the core of the apostle just now. The two cores are one, but they are in different bodies. Regroup! Attacking just one won't work!"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Asuka gritted her teeth.

The Seventh Apostle had already launched an attack. Unit No. [-] was forced to fight and fell into a stalemate. Unit No. [-] also started fighting with another one.

Unit [-] successfully hit the core again, but it had no effect. The damaged core quickly recovered.

"The energy to restore the core comes from another core!" Ritsuko Akagi judged the solution with the help of MAGI: "If we can crush the two cores at the same time, we should be able to defeat it!"

"Did you hear that? Idiot Shinji! I asked you to cooperate with me!" Asuka said.

"I know, but."

The two tried to cooperate and crush the apostle's core together.

However, even if the super computer MAGI and the command staff worked together to create opportunities for the two of them, they still did not have that tacit understanding.

"It looks like we are going to be defeated now."

Unit [-] was the first to be thrown out by the split body of the Seventh Apostle, and the cables were also torn off. Unit [-] was thrown to the mountainous area two kilometers away by a huge force, and was thrown upside down.

Then the No. 2 aircraft was besieged by the two and failed to survive for [-] minutes. It was thrown into the sea, causing huge waves.

The Seventh Apostle, in the form of a split body, continued to move towards the third New Tokyo City.

"No, use N2 mines, delay the time temporarily, and hand over the command to the United Nations Second Army." Deputy Commander Dongyue shook his head and gave the order.

The fighter jet dropped N2, and the terrifying power could be seen through the screen. With just one explosion, the map of the Iki Peninsula would be redrawn.

However, after the smoke dissipated, the Seventh Apostle was still standing in the center of the explosion intact. Except for the slight melting of the shell, the rest of the body was unscathed.

It was temporarily stopped, but the repair was quick, and MAGI calculated that it could be repaired in about three hours.

On the same day, the United Nations army dropped a second N1 at 2 p.m. to slow down the repair of the Seventh Apostle.

However, its resistance to N2 mines is constantly improving, and it is changing its AT stance form, transforming it into a form that is more resistant to heat and explosions.

"At this rate, it is expected that N2 will lose its effect in five to six days." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"As expected, we can only rely on EVA." Misato Katsuragi sighed: "But the driver is like this."

Katsuragi Misato held her forehead and looked up to the sky and sighed.

Unit [-] and Unit [-] are being repaired. Asuka and Shinji have also returned to NERV, and the two are having a heated argument.

"What are you doing, idiot! Don't you understand that I asked you to cooperate with me? You were thrown away without permission. Are you really the pilot of EVA!" "You are obviously too impulsive, right! Chu Unit No. [-] is not even equipped with melee weapons! If you have to be a little more careful about me, I can go back and get new weapons!"

"Huh? Do you still blame me? Idiot, useless, unbelievable!"

"It was originally a cooperative battle between two people, but you just looked after yourself!"

"So do you still blame me for your failure? If you could do better, we would have called it a day!"

"Really, I'm so embarrassed." Dongyue took a deep breath to ease her rising blood pressure: "Listen up, you two, do you know what your job is?"

"Drive EVA."

"No, it's to defeat the apostles!" Dongyue slapped the table: "In order to defeat the apostles, what is needed is for the two of you to work together. What do you think you look like now!"

"But..." Asuka looked at Ian and wanted to say something, but Ian shook his head at her.

"Tsk" Asuka frowned, looked at Shinji with an unkind look, and muttered in a low voice: "If it weren't for you."

Dongyue received contact from high-level officials. Commander Ikari Yuantang was not at the headquarters at this time. The deputy commander announced the adjournment of the meeting and left alone.

Ian stepped off the stage at this time and placed his hands on the shoulders of the two drivers again.

"As you said, we are companions, right?"

Asuka turned her head away from Shinji's face, and Shinji also turned his head angrily.

"This is youth." Kaji Ryoji shook his head.

"How about letting Ayanami drive Unit [-]?" Ritsuko Akagi gave a suggestion: "If it is Ayanami, he should be able to cooperate better with Shinji-kun."

"What do you mean! Do you want the first qualified person to go into my Unit [-]? I don't want it!" Asuka looked at Ritsuko angrily: "It's okay if you don't want that idiot. I can go out alone. It's just a one-man mission." Fight two, I will definitely win the second time!”

"That's enough, Asuka, stop making trouble unreasonably! This is NERV, not your home! If you can't cooperate with Unit [-], then let Rei Ayanami drive Unit [-]!" Misato Katsuragi said angrily.

Asuka refused to admit defeat, she clenched her fists and glared at Misato.

At this time, Ian said: "Miss Misato, I don't think there is a need to change the driver."

"Do you have any ideas?" Miri calmed down when she saw Ian. She wanted to hear what Ian thought.

"Actually, the Seventh Apostle has not shown any other abilities besides splitting. I think Asuka and Shinji just lack a little practice." Ian said: "Moreover, the synchronization rate between the first qualified person and the second unit is not high. , suddenly changing the driver may have the opposite effect."

"Let me assist them and provide them with tacit understanding training," Ian said.

"I don't want it!" Asuka refused.

"Do you really want Rei Ayanami to pilot Unit [-]?" Ian stretched out his hand: "Just trust me once."

Asuka pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and finally handed over her hand.

"Come on, Shinji-kun too." Ian grabbed Shinji.

"Since Mr. Ian said so." Shinji walked down the steps.

"But how are you going to train? We only have six days at most." Misato crossed her chest.

"When will Unit [-] and Unit [-] be restarted?" Ian asked.

"The repair work is expected to be completed in two days." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Then let's go out in two days. I think the two of them can definitely do it."

Ian and Ryoji Kaji met in an abandoned toilet outside NERV.

"It's not a good thing to be too eager to express yourself." Kaji Ryoji said: "Have you heard of the ancient Chinese saying? A big tree attracts the wind."

"But if we don't defeat the apostle, isn't it possible?"

"Can you really make those two people establish a tacit relationship within two days? I think their relationship is not that bad."

"The wall of the heart is the AT force field. Don't you know, Mr. Kaji? I'm different from you. I don't have that kind of thing."

"so what?"

"My heart is open, so I can 'connect' with Asuka, and the same goes for Shinji, I can connect with both of them."

"Is it your special ability again?"

"It can be understood that although I can't directly synchronize the two of them, I can be their transit point."

"Really." Kaji Ryoji lit up a cigarette: "Well, since you said so, let me leave it to you, but be careful not to leave too many traces. Recently, I have also had some troubles here. Things have to be done, and if you attract too much attention, we will be in trouble."

"How troublesome?"

"The kind of trouble that could lead to a secret execution."

"That's really dangerous."

"So you should find some results as soon as possible to convince me, so that I don't have to do those dangerous things. I am young, not married, and I don't want to die." Kaji Ryoji exhaled smoke.

"Results?" Ian touched his left shoulder: "Actually, I didn't notice it at all, but let's talk about it next time. It just so happens that this time I can find a reason to go to the scene to deal with the Seventh Apostle. If everything goes well, I will Contact you, Mr. Kaji."

"Looking forward to your good news." Kaji Ryoji left here.

Ian touched the fish angel's soul and felt its slight stirring.

At night, Ian asked Shinji over from Misato.

He held two game controllers in his hands, handing one to Asuka and the other to Shinji.

"The way you said is to let us play games?" Asuka looked left and right.

"That's right." Ian nodded: "You can just do it. I will help you with the extra movements."

At his request, Shinji and Asuka picked up the controllers and played a two-player game.

The two of them manipulated the game characters randomly, each playing his own role without any coordination.

Gradually, Asuka and Shinji felt something different, as if they knew what the other was going to do next.

They played games until late at night, and that night, Ian left Shinji in his room.

"Let's sleep together tonight, Shinji-kun."

Shinji looked very embarrassed, but he still squeezed into Ian's bed.

Soon he fell asleep, and Asuka fell asleep as well.

Ian came to the coordinates. He had established a connection with Shinji, and Asuka had established a connection many years ago.

All that's left is for them to "train" together.

Ian created a dream, creating a vision of the Seventh Apostle that he saw during the day.

But that is just an illusion. If you want it to act according to the apostolic model, it lacks spirituality.

So he took out the soul of the budding Fish Angel, put the Soul of the Fish Angel into it, and set up the "split battle" program for it. As for the EVA, the memories of Asuka and Shinji will automatically restore it.

Asuka and Shinji fell asleep and realized that they had entered a dream.

In an illusory feeling, the two of them controlled EVA and the seventh apostle respectively.

The apostle attacked, but they didn't understand the situation. While they were standing there waiting, the apostle penetrated the insertion bolt.

Although they felt no pain, they felt the fear of being crushed by a heavy object. When they recovered, they returned to the cockpit.

For a moment, they couldn't feel their bodies anymore. Asuka and Shinji touched their limbs to confirm their existence.

The "GAME OVER" pattern appeared in front of them.

The apostles attacked again, and they each controlled EVA to counterattack.

But this time they didn't cooperate well, and the divided Seventh Apostle penetrated them again.

"Is this a dream?" Asuka noticed something was wrong.

She felt that Shinji was inside Unit-[-], but she had no means to communicate with Shinji.

Something seems familiar, a bit similar to the previous dream. Did that kid do something?

But since she has the opportunity to do actual training, she will naturally not miss it. What she hates most is failure.

Shinji also realized something. He more or less noticed that Unit [-] might be Asuka, but he had much less information than Asuka.

After No. [-] was maneuvered, he controlled the No. [-] unit to fight as if it were a game.

It's just a dream anyway, it won't die, and Shinji can perform without any worries without any pressure.

Slowly, the movements of Unit [-] and Unit [-] became synchronized.

Every time a combo is successfully performed, the word "perfect" similar to a pixel game will pop up, as well as the damage value caused.

It was really like playing a game, Shinji and Asuka gradually found fun.

The further back they go, the more perfect they are.

They defeated the Seventh Apostle more than once. Every time they defeated, a +1 number would pop up above their heads, 100/100. Finally, they completed a combined attack and knocked down the Seventh Apostle at the same time.

The apostles exploded into fireworks, many fireworks and firecrackers bloomed in the air, and the words "Congratulations on passing the customs" appeared.

Shinji and Asuka opened their eyes and woke up from their dreams. The chirping of summer cicadas came from outside the house. The sun shone in through the window. It was already morning.

There was a nice smell. They came to the living room and saw breakfast on the table. It was not a very rare thing.

"I'm about to call you. Let's eat first." Ian scooped up the fried bacon and eggs.

Shinji and Asuka looked at each other, put aside their conflicts, and went to the table to eat together.

The figure in the apron made them feel at ease.

(No need to wait today)
　I changed the setting of the Seventh Apostle a little bit. After all, in the original game, one N2 explosion can make the Seventh Apostle sleep for six days. EVA is not that important. In fact, you can use N2 to blow up the apostle to the point where he cannot move and then use EVA. So I I've changed it a little bit here, but it won't have much impact.
