Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

It seemed like a long time ago, but it seemed like only a moment passed.

He felt something hard and painful underneath his body. He reached into the quilt with his right hand and pulled out a black hard drive.At this time, the girl in the quilt let out a slight groan, which seemed to be affected by her own actions.

Although the face was not visible, the blue hair proved the identity of the girl in his arms.

Shinji Ikari gently opened the corner of the quilt, looked at Ayanami Rei's peaceful sleeping face and couldn't help but kiss her forehead, and held her in his arms.

The delicate body in his arms seemed to tremble slightly, and then responded to Shinji Ikari with an even warmer embrace - wrapping around his body like an octopus.

I don't know why, but Shinji Ikari didn't have any charming thoughts even though it was the most masculine time in the morning.He gently patted Ayanami Rei's smooth back, and the two people, who had not fallen asleep again, hugged each other quietly.

An hour and a half later, everyone was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

Just when Shinji Ikari was still thinking about how to tactfully tell Asuka about undergoing experimental transformation, Asuka, who was sitting next to him, unexpectedly said with a serious expression, "I had a very strange dream."

------------

PS: It suddenly occurred to me that if Shinji Ikari and his family saw the stubborn Asuka standing next to her with a schoolbag on her back, they would choose to adopt her.Is it the TV version of the youthful daily world line of Shinji Ikari and Asuka’s childhood sweetheart that he observed?

[-]: At least like a human being

In the dream, I seemed to go back to my childhood, my mother, the funeral, the schoolbag, the snow, the mountains, the loneliness... When I seemed to be isolated from the whole world, I was taken home by that Mazda.

Asuka suddenly sat up from the bed. There was bright sunshine outside the window. She woke up from her dream and was still in Third New Tokyo in late summer and early autumn.The clothes he took off last night were thrown carelessly on the chair, and he was covered with a soft air-conditioned quilt.

Asuka sat on the bed for a long time, and suddenly remembered that on the first day after the fish angel attack, she moved next door to Misato Katsuragi and the others. With her arrogant nature, Misato Katsuragi should have invited her, but now she is happily there. It seems pretty good to have dinner together.

And, more importantly, I feel like my body has returned to normal.

"Has your health returned to normal?" Misato Katsuragi looked at Asuka sitting opposite with some worry, "Have you been in poor health during this period?"

However, the temperature difference between day and night is indeed a bit large during the recent change of seasons, making it easy to catch a cold.

"It's not an ordinary human illness like a cold or a fever," Asuka sat upright and elegantly cut the fried steak with a knife and fork. At this time, she seemed to have returned to the German lady she first met. , "It's deeper. I feel that the pollution from the Bird Apostle may be gone. Let's go for a mental test."

Asuka talked about the mental test in an understatement, as if it was a very ordinary thing.

Shinji Ikari's expression moved slightly. He remembered the hard drive he brought back, the virtualization device in the dream, and the original Asuka.

Probably impossible?

----------

In the dim hall, there are only twelve stone tablets glowing with red light standing here.

It was extremely rare that a constantly beating picture was projected in the dim hall at this time.It is the battle scene that starts with the capture of the third apostle, then ends with the appearance of the water apostle, and ends with Makiha driving the No. [-] unit and inserting the simple Longinus gun into the fruit of life of the angel in the womb.

"Finally we have captured the No. 16 Apostle. Since then, according to the Dead Sea Documents, there is only the last Apostle left." It still started with the speech on the No. [-] stone tablet.

"The prophesied moment is coming." Stone Tablet No. [-] also sighed.

"This road is really too long and the sacrifices are too great."

"Following the awakening of Unit [-], Amishar's research report has disappeared. These reasons are enough to dismiss Ikari Gendo."

"Doesn't he not know what we mean by letting Fuyutsuki Kouzou go back?" said the Pope with Shirai Kuroko's sharp voice.

Although on the surface Blessing Ryoji released Fuyutsuki Kozo who he brought with him at the cost of his life, that was SEELE's base camp.Without the acquiescence of the Human Completion Committee, Fuyutsuki Komaso would not have been able to escape so easily.

"We need a new victim, and it must be someone who knows the inside story."

Suddenly, a malicious laugh came from the third stone tablet, "Then let Ikari Yuantang choose the victim."

Ritsuko Akagi suddenly put her hand on the pistol at her waist as if she was touched, until the door opened with a sound, and it was Hitomi Kaga, the deputy director of the development department, who walked in.

"Minister, what do you want from me?" Kagami asked bluntly.

"It is a study of the remains of the No. 16 Apostle Womb Angel in Youguan." Ritsuko Akagi also went straight to the topic, "The fetal blood of the Womb Angel does have extremely strong corrosive power and low pollution. More importantly... we still have Found this."

In Hakone District [-], Ritsuko Akagi mysteriously called Deputy Minister Hitomi Iga to the office and turned sideways to reveal a row of life-support capsules behind her.

I saw a row of strangely shaped biological embryos soaked in the translucent ionized LCL liquid. If you look carefully for the outlines, you can find that the embryos of these huge creatures are very similar to the dead apostles.

"The third apostle of Bethany Base, including the water apostle, day apostle, thunder apostle, fish apostle, music apostle, rain apostle, air apostle, night apostle, grazing apostle, power apostle, and bird apostle are all here.

All of them were embryos about two meters long, floating in the life-support cabin. It was obvious that Ritsuko Akagi moved them here specifically.Any researcher who sees this shocking scene will have an intracranial orgasm, but Hitomi Kaga, who has the same three-no essence as Ayanami Rei, will not.

"There are no Adam and Lilith, and there are no terrifying apostles and fetal apostles," Hitomi Iga pushed up her glasses, "But it is quite amazing. Could it be that if the angel in the womb is allowed to grow, he can really re-conceive the dead apostles? come out?"

Ritsuko Akagi looked with relief at the fact that his deputy minister could still maintain the inquiring mind of a researcher under such circumstances.

"The fetus angel's embryo has been destroyed by the No. [-] machine piloted by the fifth qualified person, Makiha, and the horror angel does not know the reason yet." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Then it's not easy to handle these embryos," Kagami asked.

"Based on the agreement of the Vatican Treaty, NERV can keep the remains of the apostles for research, but the research results must be shared with the League of Nations and SEELE. As you can guess without telling me, NERV and SEELE are the biggest beneficiaries of the Vatican Treaty. It is currently under construction The four arks of the "Repentance", "Original Sin", "Redemption", and "Prayer" were all modified based on the remains of the apostles." Ritsuko Akagi whispered, "If the outside world knew that the Womb Angel still left eleven embryos, Even a stillborn baby without a soul can cause huge turmoil.”

"The race war against the apostles hasn't ended yet. Have various countries and forces begun to divide the apostles' legacy? Isn't even NERV already a cake that can be divided up?" Hitomi Kagami said quietly.

"This is politics. Where there are people, there is politics. Some people say that the moment the last apostle is killed, the war for mankind will begin. However, we are lucky to have the most conflicting Self-Defense Forces become allies through the information of Plan E. ." Ritsuko Akagi took out the cigarette case from the inner pocket of her white coat, "That's why the headquarters hid the news that the Terror Angels had been annihilated, just to create a time lag."

Hitomi Kaga looked at the cigarette case that Ritsuko Akagi handed to her, and frowned and chose to refuse.Ritsuko Akagi didn't take it seriously either. She took out the cigarette and held it in her mouth. She didn't light it or speak, but gave Hitomi Kagami time to think.

Although Hitomi Kaga is a pure researcher, it’s not like she doesn’t understand the meaning behind it.She shuddered slightly. It turned out that in the final analysis, it was profit distribution. Although NERV was at the forefront of mankind and faced the apostles, the resources it had consumed over the years had also overwhelmed all countries.

What they have to face is not a single country, but the League of Nations, SEELE, the controller behind the world, and may even include some factions within NERV.Unless NERV has the power to conquer the entire world, or SEELE is disintegrated, war will come sooner or later.

"Then what are you going to do with these embryos?" Kagami asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Only you and I know now." Ritsuko Akagi said calmly.

Kagami suddenly raised his head, very surprised, "It's just you and me? Isn't there a commander-in-chief?"

"I didn't tell them." Ritsuko Akagi said, without explaining why, "I wanted to ask you to do something."

Kaga Hitomi didn't speak, but quietly stared at his senior sister and senior with her brown-black eyes.After resisting the urge to smoke, Ritsuko Akagi said, "If I disappear one day, the embryos here will be at your disposal. Whether it is handed over to a certain force or developed by yourself, you will probably be the one to do it by then. New Development Minister, I just hope you can take care of Maya Ibuki for me."

"You should inform Misato Katsuragi or seek refuge with Shinji Ikari. If you really encounter any trouble, they are the ones who can protect you." Hitomi Kagami said seriously,

Ritsuko Akagi smiled, "If he knew what I did, he would just execute me with his own hands. But there is no rush now, you still have some time to think about it."

The phone rang. Ritsuko Akagi took out the phone from her arms and her expression gradually became serious. She looked at Hitomi Kaga after saying "I know" and "Understood" a few times.

"Let's go, it seems that the second qualified person has no problem."

——Hakone District [-], simulated body experiment.

"Okay, the auxiliary voltage is normal, the body functions of the qualified person are normal, the psychological pressure value of the qualified person is within the normal range, and the connections of various interface systems are normal."

"The main power supply is plugged in normally. The operating voltage has exceeded the critical value."

Reports from technicians at each link showed that everything was normal in the first stage.

This is the third time Asuka has been tested. At this time, even if the employees in the development department serve qualified people, they are somewhat impatient.

"Aren't you worried about Asuka's test results? The possibility of her being contaminated by the apostles is very high." In the monitoring center, Ritsuko Akagi looked at Shinji Ikari who was calm and composed next to her and asked, "It's okay even if she doesn't come for testing. Yes, it’s just that she can no longer drive EVA. This time she took the initiative to ask for a test, and she must be under great pressure."

"Although I want to say that there is no point in worrying, you should take a look at this first." Shinji Ikari handed the hard drive in his hand to Misato Katsuragi.

"Is it a new hard drive again? I really don't know where you got these weird things." Ritsuko Akagi looked at Shinji Ikari with complicated eyes, and then connected the hard drive to his laptop.

"Oh, the virtualization device technology of NERV's Soviet branch Bethany base has a built-in anti-L barrier system. It was originally a special device used to suppress the apostles... Ah, there is actually a virtualization device miniaturization technology, I Understood!"

Shinji Ikari sat on his desk and shrugged, "Don't talk about apostle pollution. Even if there is an apostle in her body, it can be sealed in her body through this technology, reducing the apostle's power to a controllable range. It only deepens the degree of apostle transformation. .”

"Do you think becoming an apostle is Ava's curse or a blessing?" Ritsuko Akagi glanced at Shinji Ikari.

"It's hypocritical to say a curse," Shinji Ikari sneered. "A greatly increased lifespan, a body that remains youthful forever, a physique far beyond that of ordinary people, and freedom from illness. These are all things that ordinary people dream of."

At this time, Maya Ibuki, who was in charge of this simulated body experiment, let out an exclamation, as if something had happened.

Not long after, she hurriedly handed the experiment report to Akagi Ritsuko's hand. Akagi Ritsuko raised his eyes and handed it to Shinji Ikari, "You already knew the results?"

Shinji Ikari said, "If I wanted to know, there would be no need to prepare this virtualization device miniaturization technology... Asuka Asuka, No. 2 qualified person, the ace of the European division, the pilot of EVA Unit 2, qualified The patient's physical function test results are abnormal... 87% synchronization rate, good psychological test, neuron breakthrough of 0.29 seconds, qualified psychological stress value... harmonic value deviation interval 0.5..."

The data is very impressive, and only those who are qualified have abnormal physical function test results that are eye-catching red.After all, whether it is the greatly improved synchronization rate or physical skills, it shows that Asuka's condition is different now.

But that's it. After all, as long as it is proven that the second-qualified person no longer carries the apostle's pollution, then it will be fine.Even though some people may be interested in her unusual change, it first depends on whether Shinji Ikari agrees.

Shinji Ikari suddenly thought of the Ayanami combat uniform from the new world he brought back last month. The distance between the two worlds may not be so far away——

"Her apostle transformation process has come a long way." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"This is a good thing. Apostleship itself is an apostolic power that can be controlled by humans. It cannot be regarded as pollution."

After saying this, Shinji Ikari seemed to notice and looked in the direction of the door. He saw members of the intelligence department wearing blue suits and sunglasses walking towards here.

Regarding the special intelligence department, except for the general affairs department, the employees of the other eleven departments have an attitude of disgust and fear.They are like the East and West Second Factory or Jinyiwei of the ancient dynasty of the Western Continent. They are subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief and can even detain ministers of any department for interrogation when authorized.

When you see these men in suits and sunglasses, you know something bad is coming.

"Minister Akagi, could you please come with us?" They walked up to Ritsuko Akagi and bowed slightly.

Although the attitude remained Japanese modesty as always, for Ritsuko Akagi, an unknown premonition came to her mind.

Not far away, Maya Ibuki, who had just finished her inspection, was celebrating after Asuka came out of the cockpit.He looked back as if he had been touched by something, and saw the senior he had always admired showing a lonely expression. He took off his eyes and put them in his pocket, and then left him under the escort of three espionage members in blue suits. Sight.

[-]: Clown

In a dimly lit room with images of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life printed on the top and bottom, Ikari Gendo intertwined his fingers and placed them on his lips as usual.

"The old people from SEELE are urging us to transfer the No. [-] unit that has problems to the Tabuga base for inspection." Fuyutsuki Komasu stood next to him with his hands behind his back, looking at Ikari Gendo with an expressionless face. Say the next sentence, "Or Unit [-] may be sealed again."

The previous one was just a test by SEELE, and they also knew that Ikari Yuantang would not agree.And the latter is their real purpose.

"It is sealed in the restricted area at the bottom of Hakone. If there is any emergency, it will take an extra hour to temporarily activate Unit [-]." Fuyutsuki Komasu said softly.

For some people who have read the Dead Sea Documents or are familiar with it, there is only the last apostle left who is an enemy of mankind, and the international situation is also very delicate.But for NERV leaders like Ikari Yuantang, the terrifying angels have been hidden by them. Except for the one on the moon, it can be said that the war between humans and the apostles is over.

It is absolutely impossible for Ikari Gendo to seal Unit [-], which he relies on the most, in the restricted area at the bottom of Hakone.

"Is there any more?" Ikari Yuantang asked.

"There are many more. Those old people in SEELE are very dissatisfied with you. There are even countless anonymous complaint letters within NERV. However, the only ones that are really worth noting are the discussion between Unit [-] and the European branch about the return of Unit [-], and the incident of Rei Ayanami being They noticed that they wanted to ask Rei Ayanami something.”

"Ignore the European branch, they are just pawns in SEELE's experiments." Ikari Yuantang said, "The control of Unit [-] remains the same as before, as does Unit [-] and Unit [-]."

"But if President Jilu knew about it, those old people would be very nagging." Fuyutsuki Komasu looked at Ikari Gendo's reflective glasses from the side.

"It doesn't matter, I'll give the other thing to those old guys, don't worry."

It's still in Hakone, but it's an affiliated area of ​​Central Dogma.In a dark room, a beam of warm white light shines from high on the black round platform in the center, where Ritsuko Akagi stands upright in the posture of birth.

In front of Ritsuko Akagi, thirteen stone tablets stood in front of her.

"We also want to resolve this matter peacefully and do not want to cause you more humiliation and pain."

Unexpectedly, what came out of the mouth of the No. [-] stone tablet, President Jilu, were extremely gentle words.What was also unexpected was that in such a state, Ritsuko Akagi still maintained a fairly calm demeanor and answered expressionlessly.

"I don't feel any humiliation, Your Majesty." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Oh, what a strong woman. No wonder I want to keep you by my side."

"But, you know, the person who handed you over to us is none other than - NERV Commander-in-Chief, Ikari Gendo."

At this moment, Akagi Ritsuko's resolute face like a stone statue suddenly changed.

"He refused to accept the pilot of Unit [-] for questioning, and also refused to accept the European branch's request for the transfer of Unit [-]. He also refused to deal with the abnormal Unit [-], but chose to hand you over to us as an agent. Dr. Akagi.”

"When the wind blows, the clouds fly, and the strong warriors walk everywhere!"

"Ma bandits must be suppressed at any time, and we can't do it without suppression! Think about it, you took your wife out of the city, ate hot pot and sang songs, and suddenly you were robbed by ma bandits! So, there are no ma bandits The days are good days!"

Shinji Ikari was sitting on the soft sofa, and lines from Western Continent's classic movies were playing on the TV.The man with a mustache who spoke was the soon-to-be county magistrate of Goose City. However, he was kidnapped by gangsters on his way to his appointment while eating hotpot and singing with his wife. At this time, he spoke with some sincerity. .

The sofa belongs to a room in the Tamamo-mae Hotel. This famous hotel is located next to Tokyo Bay. Looking out, you can see a white cruise ship slowly passing by in the water. The enthusiastic beautiful tour guide on the bow is following a group of middle-aged Siris uncles. Auntie tourists introduce the local culture they want to hear about.

"I'm a little annoyed that I can't eat seafood." Misato Katsuragi closed the curtains, "It's a bit of a pity that Asuka's celebration party didn't include seafood."

"I'm not particular about seafood, and if you're not afraid of radiation, you can insist on eating it. Anyway, we pilots who have been cursed by Ava don't care about it." Asuka stuck out her tongue, "It's just not a celebration party yet. , just solving your own troubles, but you just want to find a reason to come out and play."

"Soru-chan, you make me sad when you say this, and you actually doubt our sincerity towards you." Misato Katsuragi stepped forward and kissed Asuka's face.

"Haha, forget it, it doesn't matter, school is about to start again, let's just go out and relax," Asuka shook her hair vigorously, then took out her mobile phone to take pictures on the balcony, "But why is the summer vacation in Japan so short? Why is there only A little over a month ago, is this the monster education you have in the four countries of East Asia?"
