Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

"It doesn't matter, we are mobilizing the nearby fourth and fifth monitoring satellites." Hinata City replied.

But 6 minutes later, what they received was not the news that the apostles had returned to surveillance, but the news that they were suspected of experiencing an experimental explosion of an N2 aerial bomb in the Pacific Ocean.

Chapter 82: Brave Misato, not afraid of difficulties

There was another moment of silence as the image transferred to the display screen.

Waves several meters high rose on the surface of the Indian Ocean, just like the scene after the explosion of a nuclear bomb. The huge shock wave caused an oval-shaped depression in the sea surface, but it was quickly filled up by sea water again.

This is a scourge bomb formed by the aerial apostle over the Indian Ocean who separated part of his body.Its power is comparable to that of N2 aerial bombs, and it is simply thought that a certain Southeast Asian country is conducting N2 bomb experiments in the Indian Ocean.

Soon after, they also learned about the landing of the second shot.

"The power is really exaggerated. It is truly an AT field." Misato Katsuragi said.

"Not only that, but it also uses the principle of free fall. In this way, the apostle itself is a giant bomb."

"Anyway, the first shot hit the Indian Ocean, but then the second shot landed on Sakhalin Island on the Soya Strait boundary. It was obviously an error correction." Ritsuko Akagi said lightly while holding a cup of coffee, but she could Her right hand holding the coffee was trembling slightly.

"That means he is studying." Katsuragi said with a confused look on her face.

Later, they also received news that the Soviet Union used N2 aerial bombs to bomb the surface of the apostles, but it was intact.This further triggered panic among current staff.

Not even bombing can change the trajectory of the Sky Apostle. From this point of view, the strength of his AT field even surpasses that of the previous strongest Thunder Apostle.

With just a tentative attack, the power of the Sky Apostle is comparable to that of an N2 bomb.But if he falls with his extremely huge size, it will be enough to unleash the destructive power of the third impact.

"The current location of the apostle is unknown and we are capturing its location." Hyugajo shouted loudly.

"So where is the expected landing place?" Misato Katsuragi frowned slightly, but although she was asking a question, she lowered her eyes and gave the answer herself, "Let me guess, it's right here."

"MAGI is calculating, but the probability of landing here is as high as 99.999%," Ritsuko Akagi said. "By then, the third New Tokyo will probably become the third Lake Ashi."

"I feel it is more likely to integrate the Fuji Five Lakes into one, connect it to the Pacific Ocean, and of course include our headquarters."

At this time, the staff in the monitoring room looked at each other. It was clear that disaster was about to come, but the two people in charge were talking and laughing calmly, as if they were discussing matters that had nothing to do with them.

After a moment of silence, Katsuragi Misato gave the order with a serious expression.

"Inform the Japanese government, that is, all provinces, to issue special order D-17 with NERV authority. All citizens within a radius of 120 kilometers should evacuate immediately. Please also back up your MAGI."

Ritsuko Akagi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to give up the headquarters?"

"No." Misato Katsuragi glanced sideways at the last image of the apostle revealed on the screen, "It's just that there is no need for everyone to take risks together, we just need to work hard."

--------

"What do you mean we work hard? It's obviously just the three of us working hard!" Asuka muttered.

On the observation tower outside Hakone, Asuka, still wearing her orange combat uniform, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance.

Asuka had heard about the big event of nationwide mobilization when the Thunder Apostles attacked before she came, but the scene in front of her was even more exaggerated than before.

Just visible to the naked eye, there were about a dozen airships broadcasting evacuation news in the air, and the broadcasts repeatedly mentioned that residents in each area should follow the instructions of the district chief and go to other areas.

The vehicles on the road are in good order. The Japanese are very good at this, obeying orders and following arrangements.

At this time, the buildings on the surface have not been recovered to Hakone, or there is no need to recover them, because if the battle really fails.Then the teasing between Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi in the monitoring room will come true.The entire Third Tokyo City and the Fuji Five Lakes will be reduced to nothing, and the water from the Pacific Ocean will pour in, while the underground Hakone and the Central Dogma Zone will not have any obstacles to this sky apostle who has descended from the sky.

Asuka was inevitably a little nervous, and her palms holding the railing were slightly sweaty.But on the surface she is still a proud princess with her head held high.She deliberately looked at Shinji Ikari's reaction, but Shinji Ikari's expression was indifferent. He didn't even look at Tokyo-[-] in the distance. He just leaned against the railing and looked up at the blue sky.

"Of course it's us, because Misato and the others will also be with us. Service personnel above C level will stay at the headquarters. If we fail, we will go to heaven together." Shinji Ikari answered Asuka's complaint at this time, but in a flash he The corners of his mouth raised again.

"However, if the apostle is really the messenger of God, we rebellious ministers will not be able to go to heaven, but will have to be tortured in hell for 1000 years. Then everyone can soak in the hot springs in the magma and celebrate the second stage of life together."

"Who wants to soak in the hot springs with you, Shinji Yaga...!" Asuka blushed slightly and instinctively turned her face to the side again, but her eyes met Rei Ayanami's.

The number one girl, who was still wearing her school uniform, said nothing during the entire process, and stood quietly behind Shinji Ikari.Looking at himself, his eyes were dark, without joy or anger.

But Asuka had a fire of ignorance rising from the bottom of her heart, just because of Ayanami Rei's cold eyes.She didn't care about the intimate conversation between herself and Shinji Ikari, and she didn't even care about her own reaction. This powerful gaze from Yuan Ting Yuezhi gave her a sense of frustration and humiliation.

Even Asuka herself knows very well that in this kind of confrontation, only the person who is not strong enough in his heart will be angry.

"It really makes people angry." Asuka muttered, complaining softly.

At the same time, the lights in the combat seminar room in the first office area attached to the Central Doctrine Area were dim.

Unfortunately, at the time of the Sky Apostle's attack, NERV Commander-in-Chief Ikari Gendo and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki Komasu went to Antarctica to inspect the site of the second impact crater.According to NERV's internal wartime treaty, when the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief are absent, the director of the combat department automatically becomes the person in charge of the headquarters——

——That is Misato Katsuragi.

At this time, the first person in charge of the headquarters was sitting at the top of the long table, with his hands folded under his chin, looking down at everyone in both rows of the long table with a solemn expression.

"Tell me about the current situation." Misato Katsuragi said.

"The Soviet Union's space defense department, which was on combat duty, launched 33 attempts at N2 aerial bomb attacks on the Sky Apostles traveling over the Pacific Ocean. All the attacks were ineffective." Ritsuko Akagi's assistant, Ms. Maya Ibuki, took the lead in reporting the situation.

"Since our absolute field of observing Him can be concentrated on one point, His descending energy is also beneficial to Him." Hyugajo continued.

"It's like a sword of Damocles floating above our heads." Katsuragi Misato couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"After calculation by the Three Sages system, it is estimated that the diameter of the damage will exceed 42 meters, and the deviation of the geoid can reach [-]. If the target is the headquarters, everything will be reduced to nothing."

"His AT force field was so wide that all radio waves in the air were destroyed, making it impossible to contact the two commanders in the Antarctic."

Finally, Ritsuko Akagi gave a summary, "Based on the intelligence displayed so far, this unprecedented Aerial Apostle brings three new usage modes of AT force fields. The first is to be able to concentrate the force field on one point. Improve attack power and defense power; secondly, it can also spread the force field to a scale sufficient to cover half of the earth, disrupting and destroying radio waves in the air; thirdly, it can cause external physical attacks to cause spatial deflection, greatly The reduction of damage to the apostle’s body.”

"It's even more troublesome than Apostle Thunder. How can we deal with such a nearly perfect monster?" Hinata Cheng bit the cap of his ballpoint pen.

Everyone's eyes turned to Misato Katsuragi, who was sitting at the end of the bench. When the two commanders could not be contacted, according to the treaty, she was the first person in charge and the director of the combat department.

Whether it is an attack, a retreat, or a roundabout defense, the decision needs to be made by the person in charge.

"Of course, use EVA to block. Let MAGI calculate the true whereabouts of the apostle." Misato Katsuragi said something that was not surprising at all, but it was extremely surprising.

Hinata City quickly stood up, "EVA is very powerful, but they can't fly. The distortion of space prevents us from shooting them directly."

"Minister Katsuragi, I think it's better to abandon the headquarters." Ibuki Maya hesitated before speaking out the proposal she had prepared. "Although it is cruel to do so, it is our only choice. After the Sora Apostle arrives, He The most threatening falling attack has already been used, and then three more aircraft can be used for joint ground operations. No matter how powerful the Aerial Apostle is, we still have a third qualified person!"

"That's right, just give up the headquarters and wait until the Aerial Apostle falls to conduct ground combat! No matter how strong his field is, a third-level qualified person will definitely be able to do it!" Aoba Shigeru quickly responded.

As the battle plan to abandon the headquarters was proposed, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Although they did not want to abandon the headquarters, no matter how you looked at it, the falling attack of the Nakong Apostle was still too exaggerated.No one can stop it, not even the invincible third qualified person.

It's not that they don't believe in Shinji Ikari, the third qualified person is invincible.But as researchers, they trust the data on the computer more.

If it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t work. There is no such thing as a short break.

But Katsuragi Misato was like taking medicine, gritting her teeth and insisting on giving it a try.

"I am the person in charge. We will proceed according to this battle plan. Listen to me and adjourn the meeting!"

——Half an hour later, in the bathroom still near the Hakone District [-] Research Institute, Katsuragi Misato propped her hands on the sink and looked at herself in the mirror.He didn't look as majestic as he did in the conference room just now, and even had a slight sense of weakness.

She is not as strong as outsiders think. In this deserted place, she finally reveals her inner self.But with a deep breath, his eyes became firm again.

She also knew that abandoning the headquarters was the best choice, but in that case, under the completely destroyed and destroyed Hakone, the road to the final dogma would be clear to the apostles.At that time, even Shinji Ikari, who was piloting Unit [-], was too late.

"Are you serious about coming?" A familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Of course, I never joke when it comes to combat."

"Do you want to throw away three EVAs by yourself? If the battle fails, you will go to a military court."

"If the battle fails, there will be no future, and all of us will die." Misato Katsuragi's eyes were sharp, as if containing an invisible sword, staring at Ritsuko Akagi with her arms folded in front of her.

But Ritsuko Akagi was not overwhelmed by her momentum. As the first person in charge of the development department, she believed in the data displayed on the computer, "MAGI's calculated probability of winning is only 0.00001%, not even one in ten thousand. I know , the trump card you are proud of is the third qualified person, but this aerial apostle who comes from outside is also unprecedentedly powerful. The strength of his absolute field is not weaker than him at all, and he carries terrifying potential energy falling from the sky. Even he can't Will be crushed to pieces!”

"I know, but there is still a chance of winning." Misato Katsuragi pretended to be calm and looked at the mirror in front of her, even opening her makeup box.

"Major Katsuragi!" Ritsuko Akagi shouted loudly, "Do you think you are the savior? There is less than a ten thousandth chance that he will take care of you!"

"Dr. Akagi, I am the person in charge of the headquarters now, and I am the one who designated the combat plan. I will try whatever I can. It is my job to eliminate the apostles, no matter how slim the chance is."

"Work is really ridiculous. You just want to take revenge on the apostles, even if it is possible to drag millions of people in the headquarters into hell. Who do you think you are, Nemesis, the goddess of revenge?"

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps coming from far and near reached their ears that the two glaring women turned their gazes and looked at Shinji Ikari, who was still wearing regular clothes, standing in front of them.

Shinji Ikari didn't speak, he just frowned slightly and looked at the two women in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

It wasn't until the atmosphere became too solemn that he spoke slowly.

"This is the men's room, what are you arguing about here?"

In an instant, the atmosphere was no longer solemn, and even a little awkward.

"You guys chat, I'm leaving first." Ritsuko Akagi said calmly, picked up the tablet placed on the sink, and left quickly.

In the end, only Shinji Ikari and Misato Katsuragi were left.

"Actually, Dr. Akagi cares about you, but she is also worried that you will make wrong judgments because of your strong desire for revenge." Shinji Ikari took the initiative to speak.

"I know, I know, we are old friends. An occasional quarrel will not affect our relationship. We will go to school together on Friday to watch you do the high jump." Misato Katsuragi forced a smile, but the more she spoke, the more confused she felt. The feeling of setting up a flag arises spontaneously.

"Relax, you are the boss of the headquarters now. As the boss, you cannot let your subordinates see this weak look." Shinji Ikari teased.

"Shinji, do you think we can do it?" Misato Katsuragi said slowly.

"Then do you think I can do it?" Shinji Ikari asked.

"Of course you're fine, you're invincible, Shinji, you can do it!" Misato Katsuragi was afraid that Shinji Ikari might feel burdened, so she quickly spoke to comfort him.After all, the strength of the absolute field is closely related to the driver's psychological state.

But when she saw the smile on Shinji Ikari's lips, Misato Katsuragi knew she had been tricked.

But she guessed wrong again.

"Although I really want to say that you can be so beautiful if you say yes, but actually I don't know." Shinji Ikari smiled faintly, but he walked next to Katsuragi Misato and sat on it with his hands, "This time The Aerial Apostle is unprecedentedly powerful, and I don’t know what to do under the terrifying pressure, so I can only do my best.”

"Are you scared too?" Misato Katsuragi was stunned.

Shinji Ikari looked blankly and stared ahead, "Everyone is fighting to know the correct way to survive. Why are you fighting? How to live? No one will tell you the answer. All we can have is confusion. Running aimlessly in the depths of the ditch. Like a wild dog covered in mud."

Misato Katsuragi looked at the side face of the boy next to her. From the face that was still a little childish, she realized that the strongest pilot in front of her, who she regarded as a revengeful blade and a life-saving straw, was only a fourteen-year-old boy.

It's just because he is so strong that people think they can seal the victory just by asking him to play.

But in the final analysis, he is just a child abandoned by his father, but he is surrounded by people and is forced to shoulder the destiny of saving the world.

"I'm sorry, I'm too self-righteous. I always want to impose my own ideas on you." Misato Katsuragi held Shinji Ikari's right hand on the sink and apologized proactively, "But this time we can't retreat, I I know it's not fair to you."

"It's okay Misato, I can overcome everything for you." Shinji Ikari smiled and put his other hand on the back of Katsuragi Misato's hand.

Misato Katsuragi stared at the boy in front of her, and could even feel the heat brought by the other person's breath.The young man has a strand of curly hair hanging down on his delicate face, his eyelashes are curled and raised, which are longer than any other boy, and he has a delicate nose.Misato Katsuragi thought that Shinji Ikari didn't seem to be very young and always pretended to be an adult.

As if on a whim, and as if it was natural, the two hearts are getting closer.She gently leaned forward and kissed Shinji Ikari's lips.

It was just a quick touch, which made the young man look stunned.But this is not the end, it can even be said to be the beginning.

"It's my fault because my emotions affected you." Misato Katsuragi apologized again, but this time her smile was a little charming, "I will help you relieve the pressure."

Rather than helping Shinji Ikari relieve stress, it may be more that she wants to vent her emotions that have nowhere to be released.

Katsuragi Misato's face came closer again, but this time it was her who exclaimed.Because Shinji Ikari picked him up by the waist, then took the initiative to lean over and kiss her, and quickly led her into the door of the men's room next to her.

Chapter 83: Between reunion and trust

Misato Katsuragi's reason wanted to refuse, but her heart was very honest and did not refuse.

When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was a closed bathroom stall. Shinji Ikari had locked the door from the inside.

Misato clasped her hands under her plump breasts, seeming to be resisting but also catering to her.The spread of her legs was, of course, shoulder width - but she was being held by Shinji Ikari and sitting on his lap with her legs crossed.

It's the height of summer now.It is also the time of year when girls’ clothing is the most revealing.To put it bluntly, it means dressing very cool.Misato Katsuragi's outfit this morning was a spaghetti-strap Bra-T with a purple leather jacket and a hip-hugging skirt.The exposed thighs look dazzling visually, and the feeling of riding her on her is great.

But compared to those - Shinji Ikari's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to other places.

"No, I mean when I come back..."

Misato wanted to explain, even if it was a weak explanation, but her mouth was soon blocked again.

"……Um."

"Don't be like this, I'll help you..."

"……Um."

No matter what she said, Shinji Ikari agreed, but it was up to her to decide what to do.

When she came out of the toilet again, Katsuragi Misato was sweating profusely but refreshed, but her inner conscience was stabbing her heart with a knife.
