Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

At the elevator entrance in Hakone, Shinji Ikari waved goodbye to Rei Ayanami.

Physical examination is a physical examination.In this country, even if you are the savior who saves the world, you should still go to school after defeating the demon king who destroyed the world.

"Rei Ayanami has to cooperate with Unit Zero's second operation extension experiment and is temporarily unable to go to class." Shinji Ikari returned to the elevator and turned to explain to Asuka next to him.

Ayanami Rei is temporarily unable to go to class because she needs to cooperate with the experiment.Although Asuka was a little happy to see that there was no one in the way, she instinctively shook her hair and snorted.

"I'm not interested in the commander's daughter, and speaking of the second operation extension experiment, do you know who it was for?" Asuka said with sarcasm on her lips.

"It's me." Shinji Ikari answered frankly.

"You know?" This time it was Asuka who looked surprised.

"It's too obvious. I am the one who has been subject to power constraints the most." Shinji Ikari spread his hands helplessly, "But from the headquarters' point of view, Unit [-] and I cannot take risks. So we can only let Zero We will carry out experiments on extending the operation of the machine, and if successful, it can be copied to other machines.”

"It tastes so sour." Asuka looked at her toes.

"I'm not bitter, and I'm not satisfied with this either. I always feel like I have to leave my responsibilities to others."

"I'm talking about myself." Asuka said, "Actually, I'm quite envious of the relationship between you. Although you are not biological brothers and sisters, you have a very good relationship."

Ikari Shinji was silent. She always felt that Asuka had misunderstood something from the beginning.

"But I won't be jealous, because only cattle and sheep travel in groups, and wild beasts always walk alone. Have you heard of the famous saying of Lu Xun, the great writer in Serris?" Asuka stared at the man who was also in the elevator with bright eyes. juvenile.

Although Shinji Ikari wants to say that the sword is not sharp and the horse is too thin...but at this time, don't make some meaningless jokes.

But with a ding-dong click, the elevator that was rising rapidly suddenly stopped.

"Huh? Is there a power outage?" Shinji Ikari raised his head and looked at the elevator button marked on the eighth underground floor.

"How could it be possible? It's impossible." But just when Asuka waved her hand and said it was impossible, the elevator lights above her head were instantly extinguished, and then replaced with dim warm red emergency lights.

"There's actually a power outage. I can't be the crow's mouth." Asuka looked at this scene in astonishment and instinctively looked in the direction of Shinji Ikari in the darkness.

The light was dim, and she couldn't see clearly Ikari Shinji's expression, but he was worried about another thing, "Could there be something wrong with Dr. Akagi's experiment, right? What about Rei?"

But at this time, all the lights in the first test site also dimmed.Quietly, a power outage spread across the entire underground city throughout Hakone.

But everyone who only thought it was a temporary regional power outage did not know that the danger was coming.

At this time, in Mount Ontake in Tokyo, the young people who were having a picnic and camping in the plain grassland at the foot of the mountain vaguely seemed to hear something strange. When they looked in the direction of the sound, all the blood in their bodies converged towards their brains.

As the earth shook and the mountains shook, a huge spider-like life form emerged from behind the mountain. Its long and narrow limbs fell to the ground. The seemingly light movements made a loud noise in the valley. Groups of birds and beasts living in the forest moved toward Flying rapidly into the distance.

"Apostle! It's the apostle!" The young people screamed in horror.

Following the ninth apostle, the Fetus Angel Sander Feng, the tenth apostle, the Rain Angel Matiel, also appeared in Tokyo.

But He did not cause any harm to the young people camping and having a picnic at his feet. In other words, humans who were too small were not worthy of his special attack.Instead, he strode forward in a high-spirited manner, heading towards the third New Tokyo City at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast pace.

Chapter 70: In the still darkness

At this moment, inside the suspended elevator.

"It's okay. I'll definitely switch to backup power soon."

Asuka stood at the corner of the elevator with her hands on her hips. At this time, she was still calm about the current situation.

She has great trust in the headquarters.However, Shinji Ikari was staring at the display screen where even the buttons indicating the number of layers were extinguished.In the darkness, his pupils were dim and dim, like a flashing warning above his head.

Vaguely, the familiar smell of blood awakened his silent heart.

In this underground Hakone where darkness falls, fear spreads quietly.

At this time, in the control room next to the first test site, the room suddenly fell into darkness. Although the researchers fell into a brief panic.However, with the on-site command of Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki Yukino, it was like everyone had found the backbone, and the work was carried out in an orderly manner again.

"No, the backup power supply cannot be connected!" Hinata Cheng, who was sitting at his work station, raised his head and shouted.

"Why is this happening? Is there any line that can be connected?" Fuyutsuki asked.

"Only 1.2%, it is still the old line after No. 2567, and stability cannot be guaranteed." Another staff member answered.

Fuyutsuki Komasa made a prompt decision and "supplied all the remaining power to MAGI and Central Dogma."

"Deputy Commander, this will affect life support in the entire building." Hyuga Castle hesitated after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter, this is the most important thing at the moment." Dongyue Xingzeng's brows showed a stern look, "I'm not unclear about the impact of this, but if the power supply in these two places is insufficient, the disaster may be greater than It’s much bigger than you think.”

Compared with other areas, the Three Sages system and the central dogma are obviously more important.Their safety is a matter of survival for the world.But after all, these two areas are areas that he can control. At this time, Dongyue Xingzou is more worried about the qualifications of the other area.

He always had a feeling that this blackout would not end easily.If the target isn't them, then what is.

"Rather than saying that it tripped, it is better to say that it was artificially cut off." In the central control room on the other side, Commander-in-Chief Gendo Ikari also concluded, "This underground Hakone city is, even if it is cut off from the outside world, A fortress city that can also be self-sufficient. This kind of complete loss of power is completely impossible in theory."

"Someone must have cut it off intentionally." Ritsuko Akagi judged.

"I'm afraid the purpose is to investigate this place." Fuyutsuki Komasu said, "Does the other party want to deduce the structure of the headquarters through the recovery method? It seems that he has high authority in the Three Sages system."

"It's really smart to let MAGI send wrong instructions, so it is difficult for him to understand the situation." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"No matter what the reason is, it would be terrible if an apostle appeared at this time." Dongyue Xingzeng frowned.

However, according to Murphy's Law, if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.At this time, the Three Sages system finally restored power, and finally sounded a belated alarm.

[The detection radar captured an unknown object, and the landing location is predicted to be the old Atami area. 】

At the same time, the Fuzhong Zongtuo Army Headquarters and the Comprehensive Security Control Room also received news of the apostle's attack.But they stood still.

It's not that they are colluding with those dark gangsters, it's just that they don't know the internal situation of Tokyo-[-].They would rather not do it than do it and possibly do it wrong.You won't make a mistake if you don't do it.

"Probably an apostle, ah, it's really scary." Kazuya Tsurumaki, the military representative, stood in front of the big screen. Compared to the nervousness he had when he met the water apostle last time, he seemed particularly relaxed at this time.

"Anyway, let's enter the alert state first. This is the rule. Anyway, NERV is responsible for attacking the apostles, so we shouldn't act rashly to avoid disrupting their plans."

"Yeah, that's fine, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

At this time, in the elevator, after a long wait, the two drivers hovering in this supreme place also began to save themselves.

"What's going on?" Asuka poked her head.

At this time, Shinji Ikari used brute force to dismantle the control device in the elevator, revealing the intricate circuits inside.

Because of the power outage, there is no need to worry about electric shock. Shinji Ikari said, "In terms of power supply, there are three systems: main, auxiliary and reserve, but the power will be cut off at the same time. This probability is even stranger than winning the Mark Six lottery jackpot." Ikari said. Although Shinji spoke with a smile, there was no warmth in his pupils.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear something and raised his head alertly.It was like some kind of earthquake source was rapidly approaching in his direction.

It seemed like thousands of troops and cavalry were treading on the ice, and it seemed like thugs with guns were attacking him.

"It seems a little cold, what's the sound?" Asuka also heard something.After wrapping himself up, Shinji took off the coat on his shoulders. The air should have been hot after the ventilation system stopped operating, but the cold wind flowed in through the gaps in the elevator.

Outside is the deep elevator shaft.Some people say that you can tell the scale of a building by looking at the elevators. There are only three or four elevators in an ordinary office building's elevator shaft, and the area of ​​the elevator shaft does not exceed [-] square meters. However, the smallest elevator shaft in Hakone can accommodate more than a dozen elevators moving up and down at the same time. , the area of ​​the elevator shaft exceeds one hundred square meters.In this one hundred square meters, there are hundreds of high-strength angle steel columns, with steel beams in the middle.

This kind of high-rise building uses ultra-high-speed elevators. The metal cars travel up and down at a high speed of eight meters per second, passing by at a short distance.And Hakone itself is a futuristic city that only exists in science fiction novels.

And in this special elevator shaft, an army really stepped out.

At this moment, a dark red elevator arrival tone lit up in the deep darkness, which was the indicator light of an elevator.The elevator door opened quietly, and the shadows walked into the darkness in an orderly manner.Except for the subtle sounds in the ventilation ducts, there was only deathly silence.

And the restless murderous aura that filled the air.

The faint smell of blood penetrated into Shinji Ikari's nostrils along with the cold wind seeping through the gaps, and every quiet cell in his body was suddenly awakened.

"What happened?" Asuka's eyes tightened, and her body's instinct made her take half a step back.

Her pupils flickered, and for just a moment, the gentle and noble-like idiot in front of her seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. At this moment, every smile and every look in his eyes was filled with a bone-chilling chill that sent chills down her spine.

Her body's survival instinct urged her to stay away from the man in front of her, even though her reason told her that the man in front of her would not hurt him.

"It seems like something interesting is coming. Can you guess what it is?" Shinji Ikari put his index finger on the tip of his lips, and the corners of his mouth opened in an incredible arc.

Shinji Ikari couldn't explain it to Asuka, or he didn't know.

It was only at that moment, at this moment, that he felt enemies coming like a tide.Every cell in the body is jumping for joy, craving for wails and screams.

He reached out and grasped the rosary beads in his arms and recited the prayer——

"I offer my blood to the Emperor. I pray that it will quench his thirst..."

At this time, in the central control room in Hakone, Tokyo-[-], the management staff trapped here finally fell into panic.

Because MAGI, the three sage system that finally powered on and completed basic awakening, conveyed two extremely bad things to them.

The first is the news that the apostles have landed in Jiurehai.

The second is that an unknown force took advantage of the power outage to invade Hakone.

Chapter 71: Blood Sacrifice to the Emperor

Upon hearing the news of the intruder, Katsuragi Misato's expression changed drastically.He even pulled out a large-caliber revolver from his leather jacket: "What organization dares to invade Hakone? This is an act of betrayal of humanity!"

"There are too many, and there are too many who are displeased with NERV." Fuyutsuki Yuzuru frowned, "But since the other party has invaded, they must have made enough preparations."

Moreover, the invasion was from the seventh channel. This was a secret that only the top brass knew.This allowed some very bad conjecture to be quickly verified.

"Don't worry, NERV is not an organization that can only fight against the apostles. The security of invasion by foreign enemies was considered at the beginning of its construction. However, even if it is a standard invasion, as long as the power is restored, the three sages can operate in safe mode. In less than ten seconds, Hakone can be completely sealed off, and the remaining enemies will naturally be caught in a urn." Ritsuko Akagi said.

But the alarm is still flashing, and MAGI, which has only restored power to the Three Sages system, can only monitor the vicinity of the central dogma area and cannot determine where the enemy is.This feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable. How long has it been since I experienced it? For the management who have lost control of Hakone at this time, they feel like dragonflies with their heads cut off. Although they can still fly forward, But it’s just an unconscious feedback from the body.

"But the problem now is that the power supply cannot be restored. What I'm worried about is that their target is the qualified people!" Fuyutsuki Yuzuma said coldly.

Misato Katsuragi's expression changed instantly.She took out her mobile phone and dialed: "MAGI, let Hakone enter a fully closed mode, notify the broadcasters who can still broadcast, and ask all staff to pay attention to protecting the three drivers... Damn it, why is there no signal!"

"Let's use a landline to make the call. Since they choose to invade, they will definitely block internal and external communication." Dongyue Xingzeng handed over the phone.

Misato Katsuragi took the phone anxiously and confused, but there was no phone or signal, and MAGI could only supervise the central dogma. So where were Shinji Ikari and the others?

At this time, in the elevator, Shinji Ikari, who had just forcibly removed the handrail from the wall, was moving his muscles and bones, preparing to face the incoming enemy.But he heard the phone next to him suddenly ring.

The moment the phone rang, even Asuka was stunned. She suddenly forgot that there was a phone in the elevator.The intercom in the elevator is an emergency phone used to call for help when the elevator breaks down.Also based on the fact that there has never been an error in Hakone's internal elevator system, she had forgotten about it.

"Shinji! Shinji Ikari! Where are you?" Misato Katsuragi's roaring voice came from the oldest phone.

In the end, Misato Katsuragi actually relied on the so-called woman's intuition to lock the fourth position of the 36C elevator shaft leading to the ground.Or maybe this was the elevator she and Shinji Ikari took when they first came to Hakone.

Misato Katsuragi's heart was beating wildly.Her heart was in her throat when she learned that there was an enemy invasion, but the enemy did not invade the most important central dogma area because it was also the most heavily protected place.So what is the second most important thing... This made Katsuragi Misato turn pale.

——Shinji Ikari.Not Asuka, not Rei Ayanami and other qualified pilots, just Shinji Ikari, only Shinji Ikari.

Father, hatred, obsession, family love...all kinds of emotions and the most important people in life appeared in front of Katsuragi Misato. Even Ritsuko Akagi, a good friend, did not dare to interrupt when facing the current Katsuragi Misato.

Indeed, these enemies who took advantage of the power outage to invade the headquarters found NERV's weakness. Compared to the tight security in the central dogma area, the biggest weakness was the driver who did not drive EVA.

"We're fine, Asuka and I are together." Shinji Ikari's voice came from the microphone, his calm tone seemed to be deliberately suppressing his emotions, "However, there should be an enemy invasion."

"Have you seen the enemy? Where are they! Where are you?" Upon hearing Shinji Ikari's voice, Katsuragi Misato's heart rose to her throat again before she could breathe a sigh of relief.

"I haven't seen it yet, but there may be a few, maybe dozens? We are still in the elevator, but they should release me from the outside soon."

"Are you crazy? There are only two of you!" Misato Katsuragi roared in shock.

"They were the ones who released me. Shouldn't Titan say thank you to them if they released Titan?" Shinji Ikari finished with a sneer and hung up the phone.

However, you do need to say thank you.

At this time, someone used a crowbar to pry a gap in the elevator door from the outside. Just when they began to rejoice that they could capture the mission target, a strong hand poked out from the crack in the elevator door, and a fierce fist On the chest of the intruder at the front.

The intruder who received this punch felt that he was hit in the chest by a cannonball, making a cracking sound from his sternum to his ribs. The impact made his chest and heart become pulp.But his death was not important, but his dead body was used as a shield by the opponent, causing the tiger to completely escape from the cage.

"Attention! The mission target has a certain degree of combat effectiveness and is allowed to use weapons. Adjust the power of the stun gun to the maximum." At this time, in the darkness, the leader of the team issued a warning.

"I'm really looked down upon. You actually tried to capture me alive." Shinji Ikari laughed dumbly.

The young man looked around, his body obviously not very tall, but he looked down with an awe-inspiring look.These intruders even wore the headquarters' security uniforms, but their expressions were so serious, and what they held in their hands were not firearms but stun guns and batons used for capture.

Obviously, he is the target they must capture alive.So much so that he did not use the firearm that was most threatening to him.

But their feeble weapons will not buy them mercy from the noble knights.

For these intruders, they also exchanged frightened looks. It was clear that the target of this trip was only a 14-year-old boy.But what they saw in front of them was a ferocious beast in human form, and the malice that moved its muscles was like a biting cold wind blowing towards them.

"Don't you want a gun? But I won't show mercy."

In this dark and narrow corridor, the only voice was the target's voice.It was as if he didn't care whether his position was exposed because of his voice, and he was displaying his malice wantonly.But the intruders would not give up this opportunity. The intruders at the front who were still wearing the security uniforms of the headquarters launched the attack first.

He waved the baton in his hand and hit the blurry figure in front of him, although the target was only a 14-year-old boy.But he didn't dare to be careless at all. The image of his companion's chest being smashed just now was still etched in his mind.

But the baton he waved was in vain. Before he could react, his right hand holding the baton was suddenly grabbed by someone. The twisting and pain of the joints made him instinctively let go.Then his whole head was pressed against the wall, and a loud roar sounded in the dark corridor, making people think that something heavy hit the ground.

But he didn't die, he just fainted briefly and collapsed on the ground.
