Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

There is a place filled with young girls and boys who share the same liberating sentiments.Those are the students who are preparing for their school trip in this hot summer.

Shinji Ikari, Asuka, and Rei's No. [-] New Tokyo Municipal High School finally came to this time.

The students lined up in an orderly manner and entered the blue bus and began to take the school bus to the cruise ship.Most of their expressions were beaming.Although a small number of them seemed to be depressed because of the miserable content of the report card issued by the school teacher, most of them were beaming with joy.

However, some classmates and teachers were worried about Shinji Ikari and the others as they did not go on a school trip to Okinawa together, and some felt lonely.

This makes qualified people just like that.Although Asuka wants to live her youthful daily life without reducing the quality of life.However, this kind of war that affects the future of the world still cannot be shaken in her mind. In this way, when Shinji Ikari and the others were not around, the second graders started their school trip.

Asuka could only watch helplessly as her classmates boarded the school bus and headed to the Ryukyu Islands, which she had not been to yet.Then he looked angrily at the third boy sitting in the back row, spinning a ballpoint pen in his left hand.

"...Haga Shinji." It's true that you can't be hard when you should be hard, and you shouldn't be soft when you should be soft.

If he hadn't had the courage to resist Katsuragi Misato's hegemony, they would have been able to follow him to the Ryukyu Islands now.Surfing, diving, swimming... Okinawa Loli Island, she wants to try them all.

But suddenly someone in the back row kicked his chair.

"What are you doing!" Asuka turned around a little unhappy and saw a blue ticket handed to her.

"Aquarium, do you want to go see it?" Shinji Ikari invited with a smile.

Looking at the bright smiling face of the boy in front of her, Asuka felt as if her heart stopped for half a beat at this moment.

——NERV headquarters Hakone, in the apostle’s control room.

[The work data of Mount Asama has been transferred from Balthasar to Melchior, please check it carefully. 】

The mechanical female voice in the Three Sages system sounded in the room. At this time, there were people playing the piano in the monitoring room, some drinking coffee, and some taking a nap early. The overall atmosphere was quite relaxed.Although there have been many encounters with apostles, there have never been multiple apostles appearing one after another.After defeating Music Apostle Israphel, at least you can relax for a long time.

Until the content of the working data of the observer in the volcanic lava was transmitted to the terminal, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"Blue wavelength, yes, this must be the apostle!" Misato Katsuragi was lying in front of the computer with a sharp gaze, "And it is an extremely rare embryo. From now on, the Asamayama Research Institute will be completely closed and the staff will be evacuated quickly. .”

A few minutes later, the news of the discovery of a new apostle, and an extremely rare apostle embryo, was passed to the central dogmatic area, the commander-in-chief's office.

At this time, all the lights in the spacious office had been turned off, and only eleven illusory blood tablets with the seven-eyed reverse tree pattern stood in the center of the room, surrounding the commander's desk in the middle.

Each illusory blood tablet symbolizes a powerful person with extremely noble status.Its tentacles extend all over the world and can even interfere in the affairs of the United Nations.Even NERV is just its tentacles, just the strongest among them.

"Do you want to take the initiative to attack? This is too dangerous!" the fourth blood tablet reprimanded.

"Ikari Yuantang, don't forget the tragedy that happened 15 years ago!" the fifth blood monument reprimanded.

However, Ikari Yuantang sat quietly at the desk in the middle, with his hands crossed, and answered calmly with Yuan Ting Yuezhi's temperament, "But this is also an opportunity. We have been on the defensive, and now we can finally take the initiative. "

Finally, Speaker Jilu from the initial sequence spoke slowly, setting the tone for this matter.

"The risk is too high." Speaker Jilu concluded.

But Ikari Yuantang didn't feel at all flustered by being dismissed, he just said a simple sentence.

"But you know the importance of living apostles better than I do, and this is just an embryo. Whether it is the continuation of Marduk's plan or the transformation of apostles, it can be extended on this basis."

Over the next few seconds, the lights went out one after another.This means that the powerful people behind these serial numbers have successively abstained from voting and will no longer interfere with the progress of the work of Ikari Yuantang.

If you don't do something, you won't go wrong. If the plan is successful, the results of the experiment will naturally be shared with them.And if the plan fails, it will only be Ikari Yuantang's responsibility and has nothing to do with them.

Although it is in an invincible position, this is also the reason why the power of Ikari Yuantang has grown rapidly in the past ten years.

"We must ensure the success of the plan and absolutely do not allow failure." Finally, Speaker Jilu finished these words, and then the stone tablet representing him quickly dimmed.

"If we fail, humanity will also suffer destruction." Dongyue, standing behind Ikari Yuantang, sighed softly.

"Then as long as he succeeds, fate will stick to his safety." The corner of Ikari Yuantang's mouth raised a slight arc. He stared at the photo of the apostle's embryo displayed on the tablet in front of the table, "The odds of winning are perfect, just a little bit Just wait a moment.”

But soon, his calmness was filled with panic.

Because he found that all three pilots at the headquarters had lost contact.

——It is said to be an aquarium, but its full name is actually the Japan Ecosystem Marine Conservation Organization.

After a meteorite struck the Antarctic and set off a shock wave that swept across the earth (textbook knowledge), most marine life became extinct.Ecosystem and marine protection agencies in various countries are responsible for the permanent preservation of disappeared marine life and the restoration of the world's oceans.

It is located offshore in front of the Tokyo Port area. The only part exposed on the sea covers an area of ​​more than 4000 acres. It is a quite magnificent group of human buildings.

Washing, rinsing, and disinfecting are all essential steps before passing through the door. Finally, you can put on a special white uniform before being allowed to enter.

All electronic devices such as mobile phones that were always with me were confiscated and placed in lockers and locked securely.

"The real person I should be grateful to is Mr. Kaji, who provided me with the ticket... Look, the thing swimming past is a dolphin. You can say hello to it and it will interact with you." Shinji Ikari smiled in front Lead the way and learn all about the marine life here.

Dolphins that were once extinct in the impact, pink jellyfish, clown fish schools, and coral reefs that seem to be breathing have formed a complete marine ecosystem.

We even saw a group of black and white Emperor Penguins here, our closest relatives.There's even a strange voice that screams hoarsely for you to 'shoot Kyubey', surrounding the girl in the center.

Chapter 63: A new great disaster

Shinji Ikari was not familiar with these extinct sea creatures, and they had never appeared on his dining table. However, nobles would naturally make plans before going on dates with girls.Although Shinji Ikari didn't think it was a date, he still took notes.

Asuka originally wanted to ask Shinji Ikari for advice, but when she saw Rei Ayanami standing with Shinji Ikari, the corners of her mouth revealed a cold arc of unknown meaning, and then she gritted her teeth and asked the hot spring penguin next to her for help.

Rushing to Kyubey, rushing to Kyubey, rushing to Kyubey, a group of emperor penguins surrounded Asuka, squawking.

"I'm very happy that you can bring me here today." Ayanami Rei said.

She was obviously saying that I was very happy, but her tone was as calm as if she was saying that I had finished my winter vacation homework.But watching her stare at the seabed scene outside the glass, she might indeed be happy.

"It's too crowded here. It's a pity that they can't travel in the vaster world." Shinji Ikari stood next to her and stared at the light blue ocean, unaware of Asuka behind her who was holding up her shoes and socks while gritting her teeth.The girl stepped on the biting cold stone with her bare feet and finally fought her way through the penguin group.

However, no one noticed Asuka's predicament. The two of them were immersed in this lonely atmosphere that belonged only to them. Ayanami Rei gently stroked the glass, as if trying to touch a creature that should have been extinct long ago.

"No, because they can only survive here, just like me." Ayanami Rei pressed her palm against the glass.

Shinji Ikari turned his face to look at him, while Ayanami Rei seemed to be aware of the intense gaze and couldn't help but tilt her head.Abnormal emotions arose between the two. The moment she looked at Shinji Ikari, her forehead suddenly suffered a critical blow.

"...It hurts." Ayanami Rei held her head, pursed her lips and gritted her teeth in pain. She couldn't help but hold her head and squat in defense.Shinji Ikari moved his wrists expressionlessly.Just now, he didn't hold back his hands at all, his index and middle fingers were pressed together, and the hammer on his knuckles hit her head.Then he looked at the blue-haired girl squatting at his feet with a cold curve in his mouth.

"I told you, don't always show this kind of self-pity expression, I don't like it." Shinji Ikari rubbed her head at this time, "Don't pity yourself, if you pity yourself, life will be a nightmare that you can never wake up from. .”

"Yeah, I understand." Ayanami Rei lowered her head, not sure if she took the words to heart.

Only Asuka, who was holding up her shoes and socks, looked at the backs of the two people in front of her. She couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth when she saw the first girl being beaten, "Humph, you deserve it!"

NERV headquarters, central control room.

"Have you not contacted Shinji Ikari yet? Where have the other two qualified candidates gone?" Fuyutsuki Yukino shouted angrily, patting the desk.

"Second Lieutenant Ikari never allowed anyone else to follow him, not even the security personnel. But he only operates within Tokyo, and you also told us not to mess with this man." The person in charge of security also said A little aggrieved, "But we have locked onto their location based on the tracker installed by Dr. Akagi in the body of the first qualified person, and they are currently at the Ecosystem Marine Protection Agency."

"We need to bring them back quickly. The superiors of the Apostle Capture Plan have approved it. We are here to conduct remote control." Fuyutsuki Yukino glanced at his watch, "There is still an hour before the operation starts. I only give you half an hour. time."

Although the plan was improvised, this feeling of powerlessness that is not within the control is still very annoying.

Three minutes later, a 3D structural map of the interior of the Asama volcano's lava was projected in the air, and many workers slowly circled around it.

"Where's Misato Katsuragi?" Fuyutsuki Kozo flipped through the plan, "I didn't see the responsible part."

"Sanzu Katsuragi is responsible for the control and command and takes the initiative to go to the scene." Ritsuko Akagi said.

Fuyutsuki Kozo, who knew part of the inside story, nodded to express his understanding. The chief of the combat department seemed to be reluctant to face the ocean.And this also shows that she knows the whereabouts of the three people, Shinji Ikari.

Ecosystem Marine Protection Agency, in the garden on the second floor.

There were cloth mats spread out and the three of them sat on the ground, making it feel like a picnic.But lunch was a seafood set meal provided by Ecosystem Marine Conservation.

Shinji Ikari, who already knew that Ayanami Rei did not eat meat, put the sake-roasted sea bream and tempura in her bowl into his own bowl in advance, and exchanged the soft glutinous rice balls and miso soup.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Ayanami Rei knelt down next to Ikari Shinji, but her submissive expression made Asuka frown in displeasure as she looked at the two of them.

"What stupid Japanese people, they apologize all the time." Asuka stared at Ayanami Rei who was holding Shinji Ikari's miso soup, "And you, living things should eat other living things, don't waste your beautiful life!"

"Okay, try the miso soup here. The miso soup made with pure original ocean flavor kelp and tofu smells great." Shinji Ikari took Asuka's wrist and pulled her back to her seat.

Asuka pursed her lips, but looked at Shinji Ikari's smiling face and was too lazy to say anything more.He just held the plastic bowl and took a sip.

"It's okay." Shinji Ikari leaned over.

"Not bad." Asuka tilted her head, "Much better than that weird soup."

"But the bowl you are drinking was made by Ayanami-san. It was brought in from outside in a thermos cup." Shinji Ikari smiled, and before Asuka could react, he took the rest of the Tenra in his bowl. The wife also gave it to her.

"Eat slowly, I'll go out for a while."

Shinji Ikari wiped his hands and walked slowly towards the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs, a man wearing a black peaked cap and employee uniform only had half of his head exposed.While watching the movements of the three figures on the other side of the garden, he hurriedly replied to messages on his watch.

But out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing down, and soon there was a sharp sound of tightening ropes and the sound of hunting wind.The familiar young man's figure came down from the top, grabbing the rope from the fire-extinguishing tool at the top of the stairs and landing in front of him.

"What's the matter, friend?" Shinji Ikari approached him.

The undisguised hostility made him instinctively take action, but Shinji Ikari's movements were faster than his.

Although he was greeting politely, the third boy in front of him did not hesitate to use violence.He raised his hand and struck his cheek with precision with a seemingly careless fist. Then he grabbed the hair of the companions on both sides who were trying to pounce, and used their momentum to pull them towards the middle.

In just an instant, all three people lost the ability to move.The employee in the cap who was punched in the cheek by Shinji Ikari saw the other person walking towards him and said quickly, "Don't do it. I am a fourth-level employee of the Security Department. I want to inform you of something!"

"I know you are from the Security Department, otherwise you wouldn't have been so gentle." Shinji Ikari grabbed his collar and pushed him to the edge of the flower bed next to him, "But I remember that you are not allowed to follow me. How did you find me?" of?"

"It's the tracker installed by Dr. Akagi in the body of the first qualified person..." the fourth-level employee of the security department answered honestly.

Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised but not too surprised.If possible, they would definitely not mind installing control devices on themselves.After all, my own free will has completely broken the hearts of some people.

"I received an order from my superiors and was ordered to inform you that traces of the Ninth Apostle were found at the bottom of the lava of Asama Volcano. I hope you can return to the headquarters as soon as possible." The employee continued.

"It's not just that." Shinji Ikari didn't feel any surprise, still staring at the employee in front of him with piercing eyes, "Since you are returning as early as possible, why are you still following us for half an hour? Of course, you can try to deceive me, but If I find you lying, I will take off your companion's balls."

"Because the superiors on the other side asked us to formally notify you in two hours. Because if you go there early, it may cause a huge disaster comparable to the second impact." The employee did not lie, or he himself was ordered to The truth was told to the third young man in front of him, "In order to prevent the world from being impacted again, we must let you arrive at the headquarters at the right time, but not as the senior people at the headquarters want. I am a level seven spy from the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Japanese Government. If you don’t believe me, you can speak directly to my superiors.”

Traces of the New Apostle, Second Impact, Great Disaster, Headquarters Order, Ministry of Internal Affairs Spy.

Shinji Ikari pursed his lips. At this moment, he felt that the inside of NERV was really messy.

Chapter 64: Go beyond the sound and do your best

Can an apostle alone cause an impact?After listening to the explanation of the security guard in front of him who claimed to be a seventh-level spy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but frown.

He was not ignorant of the truth about the Second Impact.During the millennium, a mutation occurred on the Antarctic continent that brought huge catastrophe to the earth.Immediately, the sea level rose, the earth's axis twisted, natural disasters occurred, and the economy collapsed... Within a few days, the world's population dropped by half... and Antarctica became a peaceful area of ​​death.

The official announcement issued by the United Nations stated that it was caused by a massive meteorite with a speed of 40% of light impacting the Antarctic continent. Its destructiveness was equivalent to the impact of the earth and an asteroid [-] billion years ago.Then governments of various countries tacitly praised the greatness of mankind and the endless prosperity of civilization.

But in fact, it was caused by human contact with the giant of light.

In order to prevent similar things from happening, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Japanese government wanted to stop NERV's plan after learning the news, and even risked exposure to cover up the whereabouts of the three qualified people.

The Apostles must be defeated, but the whole world must bear the responsibility for NERV's failure. This is a very arrogant move in the eyes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Or in the eyes of many institutions, organizations and even countries, NERV is acting too arrogantly, so it is not just the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Japan.The person in front of him was not one spy, but three. The three headquarters security personnel lying in front of Shinji Ikari were actually spies from all over the place.

In order to hold back NERV, they worked together.

"You are a spy from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this one is from IPEA, and that one is from the United Nations. You are playing spy house." Shinji Ikari sighed, and then ordered, "I want to talk to your superiors."

The communicator was the watch on the spy's hand. As a few seconds passed, a hoarse mechanical male voice came from the watch.

"Hello, Third Qualified Person, I am a rank officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You must have heard the ins and outs of the matter from my subordinates. Please believe us, we have no ill intentions towards you."

"There is no malice, why should I believe you, just a person like you who hides his head and shows his tail?" Shinji Ikari sneered, "Even the voice is fake."

"I'm sorry, but this is a necessary measure." The man's kind smile came from the watch, "Human beings are always worried about the attack of the apostles and whether the impact will happen again. We have been building walls around us, but the real danger has always been Within the walls, all around us.”

"Are you referring to NERV, or the guys above?" Shinji Ikari said.

"I just want to tell you a little thing. We all suffer from spiritual arrogance. We all do. You are not God, we are only mortals and have no power to determine the future of mankind."

"God? I really didn't know there were Christians among the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows.

"All things in nature are constantly changing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the same, and so is God. Sometimes He will not be high in the sky, but will take the initiative to come to us."

Shinji Ikari laughed dumbly, "Are you trying to preach to me?"

On the other end of the call, the gentle mechanical male voice seemed to be mixed with the rustling wind: "I don't have the qualifications. My words are empty. If I have the chance, I hope to sit down with you and have a long conversation."It's just that now I represent myself and the people behind me, expressing our thoughts.And the one who really makes the decision is always you.All I can do is give you a reference. "

"What you said is half true and half false, full of contradictions. If you really want to have a long talk with me, at least come to me first."

Vaguely, the sound of the car shaking seemed to be heard, "There will be this opportunity. The world is sometimes noisy, and there is beauty in the noise. Look back, those girls who love you and you love, if you must cry , let it be tears of joy.”
