Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

"Shut up, I'm not in charge now," Misato Katsuragi glanced at her angrily, "Let's see what the deputy commander arranges."

----------

----------

Slowly descending along the long and narrow elevator, Hitomi Amagi followed Shinji Ikari into the huge gray building.

This building is located in a prominent position inside Hakone, in the core second district, but its style is very different from those church-like buildings.

The entire NERV headquarters actually has a very strong religious flavor. The offices are all located in a church-like building with spires, bell towers, marble sculptures, and huge mosaic glass windows.But this building is as plain as a piece of white rock, surrounded by white Roman columns. The ceilings are extremely high, giving people the feeling of a temple. It is not overshadowed by those exquisite church-style buildings because of its simplicity.

But Shinji Ikari only glanced at him from a distance, and his eyes swept over the deputy minister Amagi Hitomi next to him.He remembered that he seemed to have not said a few words to her since she replaced Ryoharu Kaji as the new deputy minister.Shinji Ikari wanted to say something nice to ease the tense atmosphere, but as soon as he raised his hand, the other person immediately moved away from him like a frightened bunny.

"Mr. Minister, I have no intention of falling in love yet... You are very good. I admire you very much, but I only have admiration for you..."

"Shut up. Within half a day from early morning to noon on August 23, five earthquakes occurred in Japan. As a deputy minister, you are too derelict in your duties!" Shinji Ikari turned around expressionlessly and stared coldly. He looked at the gray-haired Amagi Hitomi in front of him.

"Hi! Private Marseille!"

But after being reprimanded by her leader, Amagi Hitomi showed a relieved smile and instinctively lowered her head to accept the reprimand.Seeing this, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Was his internal reputation at NERV a matter of promiscuity? Why was the deputy director of his department so wary of him? This made Shinji Ikari very tired.

It must be Tzeentch's conspiracy to drive discord among department colleagues.

[Hello, Colonel Ikari.The Central Dogma District office area is now open to you.The express lane has been opened for you. Please take the direct lane No. [-] with the supervisory department officials. 】

The mechanical MAGI system female voice brought the two of them back to reality from the awkward atmosphere.Shinji Ikari put away his security card and motioned for Hitomi Amagi to follow him.

By the time Shinji Ikari arrived, everyone was almost here.Shinji Ikari did not see Yuantang Ikari, and the person presiding over this meeting was still Deputy Commander Fuyuki.

Misato Katsuragi sat next to him with a serious expression. It was not until this moment that she understood the fundamental reason why this meeting was held.

In an emergency, NERV has absolute command over the League of Nations and the armies of the League of Nations. The Self-Defense Forces also know that they cannot restrict NERV's annihilation operations, and they are not qualified to restrict them.After the Self-Defense Forces learned that the apostle was hovering in the Shiomasaki Nishi Trench at the southern end of the Iga Peninsula, they immediately notified the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications quickly called the League of Nations, and then to SEELE... In less than half an hour, including the League of Nations, SEELE, Australia, and the Western Continent Including Siris, dozens of phone calls were made to Ikari Yuantang.

"This is the answer of Japanese geologist Manabu Takahashi. He also believes that a super earthquake will occur in the Nankai Trench in Japan. Professor Keaki Kawada of Kansai University in Japan said that if a major earthquake occurs in the Iga Peninsula Trench, more than 40 Japanese residents may die. , economic losses may reach 100 trillion to 150 trillion yen." Fuyutsuki Komaso indicated that MAGI will put the Earth Source Table of the Japan Disaster Prevention Committee on the big screen.

"Then we can only watch helplessly and stop eating because of choking?" Misato Katsuragi stood up.

"Of course not, but conventional combat plans cannot be used. Moreover, SEELE has issued an order specifying that it can only carry the most basic F-type equipment. There are also many restrictions on weapons. Take a look for yourself."

The document was pushed in front of Misato Katsuragi, but she only glanced at it a few times before asking the most critical question, "What about the personnel of this combat operation?"

To be precise, whether there is Shinji Ikari or not is what Katsuragi Misato is most concerned about.

Fuyutsuki Kouzou glanced at Shinji Ikari sitting on the right, "According to the ideas of the League of Nations, Australia, Siris, and the Self-Defense Forces, they hope that we will not send out the third qualified person Ikari Shinji in this battle. Because the third qualified person The normal movements made by pilots during combat are too loud and are more likely to cause earthquakes than other pilots."

Katsuragi Misato said nothing, because according to this tone of voice, Deputy Commander Fuyuzuki should have a change of heart.

"But since SEELE has no objection, then I think it doesn't matter. I believe in Shinji Ikari's ability," Fuyutsuki Komasu looked at Katsuragi Misato with a serious expression, "We can dispatch the third qualified person and let him pilot the Evangelion mission. . But the machine he is piloting cannot be Unit [-]. Its output power..." Fuyutsuki Komasu didn't say anything later, but everyone understood.

Originally, Shinji Ikari's destructive power was exaggerated when he piloted Unit-[-], but now the core of the Devouring Bird Apostle has awakened.The battlefield happens to be located at the junction of the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which is a traditional earthquake-prone area near the Japanese archipelago. If you accidentally apply a little force, according to the calculations of the Japan Disaster Prevention Committee, there is a very small probability that it will happen. Leading to the sinking of Japan.

"I said it was extremely unlikely, the possibility is extremely slim." Katsuragi Misato muttered softly.

"Minister Katsuragi, are the lives of these [-] million people so cheap in your eyes?" Fuyutsuki Komaso's eyes widened, and Katsuragi Misato immediately fell silent, "And it is more likely that continuous linked earthquakes will trigger super Strong earthquakes, some of which may trigger the eruption of Mount Fuji!"

"I can't do this, I can't do that. This battle is really frustrating."

"So the combat goal of this mission is just to drive the apostles out of the Shio Cape West Trench at the southern end," Fuyutsuki Yukino turned sideways, looked at Shinji Ikari and nodded slightly, "Next, it's up to you."

Shinji Ikari nodded without promising anything.

"MAGI, notify the League of Nations of the list of executive teams," Fuyutsuki Yukino turned to look at the big screen, moved quickly, and began to collect information, "The action plan is being formulated, and we will report to them in time."

"Understood." A mechanical female voice came from loudspeakers in all directions.

"Due to the special nature of this operation, the entire mission must be carried out under the supervision of the League of Nations and the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs. But they will also give us the greatest possible help. In addition to nuclear weapons and N2 bombs, the highest priority is all kinds of Assistance with military facilities, weapons and equipment..."

Katsuragi Misato was indifferent. In her opinion, as long as there was Shinji Ikari, it was enough.

This is also the true thought of most employees within NERV.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the quiet dressing room, Ayanami Rei took off her headphones and Walkman and put them away carefully. She walked to the bench and opened her locker, put her Walkman and mobile phone in, took out her blue and white combat uniform, and put it on next to myself.Ayanami Rei sat quietly on the bench, as if in a daze.

The warm yellow light swayed slightly, and after a long time, Ayanami Rei took off her black socks.

A hand reached out to her from the side and handed her a white combat uniform.

"Don't you change your clothes?" Ayanami Rei raised her eyes and looked at Asuka standing under the light.At this time, she was still wearing a beige sweater and a knee-length skirt. After taking over the combat uniform, she crossed her arms and looked at herself coldly.

"It's not my turn, and I don't have a chance to play for the time being. There is a possibility that I may be contaminated by the apostle. Before this problem is solved, even if the strange fake from the Self-Defense Force is temporarily transferred, it will not be allowed. I'm going to play." Asuka's expression was calm, showing no signs of unwillingness.

"Yeah." Ayanami Rei nodded.

"Look more at idiot Shinji, and you have to have your own opinion. The battlefield this time is too fragile, and I don't want to be crushed into a pulp by the aftermath of his battle."

"It's not me, I'm just the backup pilot," Ayanami Rei said. "The machine Shinji chose is Unit Zero."

Asuka frowned, "But I saw my No. [-] unit entering the preparation stage in the second proving ground. Is that you piloting my No. [-] unit?"

Ayanami Rei blinked and said nothing.

After the No. [-] machine was taken away by the moon base, the current headquarters returned to a state of only three machines remaining.Unit Zero, Unit [-], and Unit [-]. Besides Rei Ayanami, who else is qualified to be the pilot of Unit [-]?

At the same time, the seaport of Nara Prefecture on the Kii Peninsula, with the Pacific Fleet in the distance.

Ayase Aragaki stood under the tent, looking at the sea shrouded in dark clouds.The heavy raindrops hitting the awning made a muffled sound, like hundreds of war drums beating at the same time.As a senior researcher at the Nara Prefecture Environmental Science Research Institute, and as her father is a local prefectural councilor, Ayase Aragaki is responsible for supervising the earthquake investigation and cooperating with NERV as a representative of the Japan Disaster Prevention Committee.

If this operation goes well, with this experience and his father's operation, he may be able to compete for the chairmanship of the Japan Disaster Prevention Committee.But the problem is... NERV seems to just want to leave them alone.

The dark clouds were low and the sea was heaving uneasily.The black boat cut through the black-red water, leaving white water traces.

"The Human Completion Committee has replied to the letter, and the team has adjusted, appointing the fourth qualified person, Makiha, as the operations leader of this mission, and the third qualified person, Shinji Ikari, to provide assistance. Shinji Ikari should listen to the fourth qualified person, Mari Maki. It's Bo's request." Misato Katsuragi stepped onto the deck, still smelling of good shampoo.

"They are really afraid that Shinji will sink Japan." Ritsuko Akagi lifted her bangs and took a cigarette from her pocket.

The rain was pouring like thunder and the thunder was rumbling. Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi looked at each other while holding umbrellas, and the rainwater continued to flow along the edge of the umbrella.

"Would you like one?" Ritsuko Akagi took out the cigarette case again from her pocket and handed it to Misato Katsuragi.

"Go back to the central control room. Although we can't command them, we should at least provide them with good logistics."

At this time, two aircraft were slowly submerged in the western sea of ​​Cape Shio at the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula.It's like opening a dusty clay pot and bringing something new to the ocean.

The surroundings suddenly lit up. It was Makiha who turned on the external light source. High-intensity spotlights were installed on the chest and head of Unit [-].The space about ten meters in front of the machine was clearly illuminated.But beyond this range, the brightness will quickly decay, and the unknown thick dark red color will always erode the light.

"Look, Puppy-kun! There are actually schools of fish. It's so beautiful!" Mahiha was surprised to see a long line of silver fish that couldn't be named and swam past the shell of the machine. The light on the chest of No. [-] machine was illuminated. Their bodies, they're as bright as a Milky Way.This seemingly silent place is actually teeming with life.

"All countries are committed to improving the marine environment. The impact of purifying the ocean 14 years ago did not destroy all living organisms, and some are still alive and strong." Shinji Ikari lowered his eyes and glanced at the school of fish surrounding the red machine. "That's saury, one of the first fish species released into the sea through the Ecosystem Marine Conservation Agency. It is said that saury was very common before the second flush, but now it has become a scarcity."

"The cat and you both want to know the taste of saury~" Makiha suddenly sang, but Shinji Ikari was used to it.

The two machines are still slowly continuing to dive deeper into the seabed.My ears are filled with the sound of machinery running and girls singing. If you listen carefully, you can even hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

In daily life, even in an absolutely quiet room, there will be background noise of more than ten decibels, such as the sound of heavy trucks driving across the ground in the distance and the sound of running water in the air conditioner pipes. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice these. sound.At this moment, the background noise was reduced to zero. Although the noise caused by the body's dive was very loud, the heartbeat and breathing sounds were exceptionally clear.

"However, what you said about the impact of purifying the ocean, is this how you view it?" Makiha said again.

"It's not that I see it this way, but some scholars (Ikari Gendo) see it this way." Shinji Ikari said, "According to a certain calculation, the total biomass on land only accounts for less than one percent of the total biomass on earth, and the remaining Ninety-nine percent of all living things are in the sea. Even the evolutionary ritual of life cannot completely erase all life."

"Just like pesticides, because insects are updated so quickly, some new models are outdated."

"If you understand it this way, you can't say it's wrong."

"There are also rumors that the apostles came from the bottom of the sea, so most of the apostles emerged from the sea."

"There are also rumors that they are Titans from ancient times. Sky Angels and Bird Angels come from outer space."

In a short time, their depth had reached more than 600 meters, and the saury that surprised Makiha could no longer be seen.There was only darkness outside at this moment, as if the universe had just begun, and they were suspended in the middle of the empty world.

"But to be honest, I never thought about competing with you for the captain's status. It was completely arranged by my superiors. Don't hold a grudge and take the opportunity to do evil to me." Makiha suddenly jumped to this topic.

"I know, they are also afraid that I will make a big splash." Shinji Ikari said simply.

In fact, Shinji Ikari's heart is more peaceful than Misato Katsuragi guessed, because he doesn't care whether this new apostle quietly evolves under the sea.So what if he was allowed to evolve to its peak, and then he would fly Unit [-] to kill him. However, Misato Katsuragi was worried too much, worried that he would awaken the Goshen System below.Sign in for one day to get the Supreme Bone, sign in for one week to get a full set of infinite gems, sign in for one month to get the final machine of Honglian's breakthrough...

Of course, this is just Shinji Ikari's inner confusion. Misato Katsuragi doesn't read online novels.I'm just worried that the new apostle will hold back a big thing down there and send Japan to the west with one shot.

During this dive, Shinji Ikari and Makiha chatted about everything from the origins of the apostles to who would win if Da Zhangwei and a nigger were locked in a cage.

It wasn't until there was a thump that Makiha came back to her senses. When she looked sideways downwards, what floated past her field of vision were the remains of severed limbs similar to luncheon meat.

"We're here, Miss Mary." Shinji Ikari looked at the squirming object at the end and murmured softly, "It looks a little better than in the video."

While they were still chatting, the apostle hiding in the dark seabed had already launched an attack on the two machines that visited their door.A pink whip that resembled a tentacle was shot in the direction of Unit Zero, but Shinji Ikari in the cockpit did not even pull out his weapon, but suddenly formed a force field and cut off the attack in front of him.

"What, why can't I see anything? Am I blind?" Makiha's voice was still shouting in the channel.

"Makiha, two o'clock direction. Don't imitate Shinji Ikari and use your naked eyes to perceive. Turn on the sonar radar." Misato Katsuragi's voice also sounded on the channel.

With the launch of the attack, the apostle lurking in the darkness is no longer hidden.Accompanied by a roar that could make the brain tremble, a huge golden circle of light rose on the seabed more than 300 meters away.

"Well, it's no longer necessary now." Makibo said naa.

In terms of form and attack, the New Apostle is not outstanding among the Apostles.But the unfolding angel halo was too huge.As it rises up and down, it feels like the divine has returned, penetrating into the underworld.

"It's a bit disgusting. Does this mean it looks much prettier than in the video?" Makiha pushed up her glasses.

"That's because you haven't seen how disgusting it is in the video."

Compared to the previous uterus, which seemed to have an insect's mouthparts opening from the center, the life form in front of me had a human-like outline.There is only the torso and legs, and from the calves down there is a pink lunchmeat-like substance similar to moss covering the seabed below. The object that attacked Unit Zero just now was the object shot from the moss below.

"The angel's halo has already appeared, which means that he has fully used all his strength!" Makiha said.

"Catch Him or kill Him, don't let Him go," Ritsuko Akagi's anxious voice sounded from the channel, "A womb angel? Looking at her bulging belly, I doubt that He is really pregnant with a new apostle! This is brand new Big discovery!”

"Shut up, Akagi! I am the commander of this battle!" Misato Katsuragi's voice also squeezed into the channel, "Still keep the original plan, drive him away from here, and don't cause too much damage! We can't Be a sinner of history!”

"Roger, I understand!" Makipo replied loudly.

Makiha licked her lips. She controlled the No. [-] machine to change its direction. She stepped on the seafloor rock wall with both feet and exerted all her strength. It was like a water arrow shooting straight towards the direction of the womb angel.

Slow, too slow, Makiha pulled out the most basic sonic flat ax and approached the apostle.

If the current speed is one, then driving the machine body to fight on the ground is ten, and Shinji Ikari's battle with the Bird Angel in outer space is one hundred. However, Makiha, who has been mentally prepared for a long time, is not too slow, but at an even speed. Approach the apostle.

"Be careful, His tentacles!" Misato Katsuragi warned in time on the channel.

I saw a slender pink tentacle extending from the navel of the apostle in front of me, shooting straight towards Unit [-], which was approaching him. Without hesitation, Makiha waved his flat ax to cut off the incoming tentacle, and then Or the umbilical cord.

The flat axe, the high-vibration particle knife, and the sonic spear are part of the same series.The ax blade adopts the same structure as the high-vibration particle knife, and they are both weapons for close combat use.However, because he is more specialized in physical cutting and destruction, he can still be used as a handy weapon even if the function is turned off, so he was chosen by Makiha to be taken under the sea to continue fighting.

At this time, Misato Katsuragi, who was watching this scene in the monitoring room above, hesitated to speak.

Because the apostle in front of her was really too weak, and based on the completely unreasonable principle that the stronger she becomes after appearing, Misato Katsuragi put his threat level at the same level as the Sky Angel during the discussion in the combat department.But if you look at it this way, not to mention compared with the Sky Angel, it is even inferior to the Water Angel in the unit of measurement of combat power. It can be said that he is the weakest of all the apostles in history.

Ritsuko Akagi could see Misato Katsuragi's hesitation, and quickly seized the opportunity and shouted, "Capture him as much as possible. He is suspected to be an apostle who can give birth to new life. His value is immeasurable!"

"Then let me try. If I can't do it, you can't blame me." Makiha scratched his head.

The red machine landed heavily on the seabed. He was less than a hundred meters away from the new apostle in front of him, and hooks were also shot out from his shoulder blades.Since it is a capture, the battle plan also needs to be changed.

However, the hook that was shot out was blocked by the colorful diamond-shaped field before it reached the apostle. Makiha was not discouraged, because she did not think that she could easily capture the apostle in front of her, even if it was just a big belly, it was suspected that it was carrying a baby. of apostles.

"I'm sorry, friend, although you are a pregnant woman, I still have to give you two swords to make you more honest." Makiha showed a wicked smile, then grabbed the flat ax and rushed straight towards the target.

The apostle who was very close in front of him shot out the pink umbilical cord again, and Makiha slashed it off again with a flat axe.But the next second, Makiha's muffled groan did come from the channel.

"Makiha?!"

"It's okay, I... this trap, this mossy seabed is a trap!" Makiha gritted her teeth and issued a reminder on the channel. She felt as if her feet were stepping on a hot iron plate, and it was extremely painful. She looked down and saw that the pink moss had spread to the soles of Unit [-]'s feet, and the pain caused by this strong erosion was also transmitted to her, the pilot.

Just when she was biting down and preparing to forcefully lift her feet to leave the seabed, the pink umbilical cord shot out again, this time running straight through her chest, and red blood vessel-like lines instantly swelled from the contact surface.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On the sea surface, inside the NERV monitoring room.

"The target is in physical contact with Unit [-]!" Aoba Shigeru turned to look at Katsuragi Misato.

"Where is the absolute domain of Unit [-]?!" Misato Katsuragi immediately looked at Maya Ibuki, who was responsible for monitoring the data of the unit.

"It was launched long before the attack was launched, but it was quickly eroded by the apostle's attack!" Ibuki Maya was a little panicked, "Oops! The body of Unit [-] is being eroded!"

"Are the apostles trying to make contact with Unit 02?" Ritsuko Akagi watched with a serious expression as the original honeycomb-shaped yellow barrier on the screen was quickly broken, and "EVA-[-], field strength at abusolute limit" and "penetration by foreign" popped up. ATFIELD" two-line emergency prompt.
