Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

“If that’s the case, that would be awesome!”

Chapter 97: Human Completion Committee

[Humanity has annihilated eleven apostles. 】

[But there are also rumors that Apostle No. 12 has appeared and invaded the depths of the NERV base not long ago. 】

"This won't work. The progress is too fast." A man's voice came from the dark room.

Human Completion Committee, specially convened meeting.

The Human Completion Committee does not represent SEELE, but it is the core part of SEELE, and only the core members will appear here.

SEELE is a secret organization that has existed in the world for thousands of years. However, after the second impact, it took the initiative to mobilize members who had been lurking in the political and business circles of various countries for a long time and quickly took control of the real power of each country. The economic lifeline of each country was threatened. The members of SEELE controlled most of the social resources, and SEELE actually controlled the operation of the world at that time. Even the United Nations was later controlled by SEELE through a puppet state, so NERV was naturally used as the execution agency of the plan. The ground was pushed to the front of the curtain.

NERV, which has trained countless brave warriors and fought against the nine apostles, is just a violent organization pushed to the forefront by SEELE.

In an unknown location, an unknown area, six seats rose up in the dark room, representing the six members of the Human Completion Committee.

"Yes, the invasion of the NERV base by the apostles was unplanned." The blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man with Saxon features spoke in a deep voice.

"And it was invaded into the central dogma area. If there is contact, all plans will be ruined."

"Ikari, you have to reflect on why this happened." The new voice was cold and stern, "We must strictly follow the plan in the Dead Sea Document. The Apocrypha has been born, and no other variables are allowed!"

An old man spoke, but his voice was high-spirited and filled with cold majesty.Judging from his appearance, he has the traditional characteristics of the Caucasian race. He is wearing a crisp black suit and a dark red handkerchief stuffed in his jacket pocket.

But Ikari Yuantang, who was sitting at the bottom seat, had his hands folded under his chin, his eyes hidden under fluorescent black-rimmed glasses, showing no joy or anger.

"The report given to the committee is a false alarm." Ikari Yuantang told the lie without changing his face. "The invasion of the apostles is not true, and it makes everyone worried."

"Then, Ikari." The member with blue eyes spoke up, turning his face to look at Ikari Yuantang, "In other words, the invasion of the No. 12 apostles is not a fact."

"Yes." Ikari Yuantang's expression did not change.

"Be careful what you say, Ikari Yuantang. If you give perjury here, you will be punished by death." Another missionary member wearing religious uniforms and glasses said sharply and sharply.

"It doesn't matter. You can check MAGI's records. There is no record of such a fact."

"Don't be ridiculous." The blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man with Saxon features spoke first, "Isn't it your specialty to hide the truth, Ikari Gendo?"

He is a powerful person who also holds a high position in the Human Completion Committee, and he is also the only member who calls out Ikari Yuantang's name. When he spoke, the other members did not speak.Only Ikari Yuantang answered unhurriedly.

"The time journey is proceeding according to the contents of the Dead Sea Apocrypha without any errors."

"Forget it, I won't hold you accountable first this time."

Finally, Chairman Jilu of the Supplementary Committee spoke.He held a red document file in one hand and propped it up on the table. Sitting at the top seat of the long table, he stared condescendingly at Ikari Gendo, who sat at the bottom seat.

"But you don't have to write a new script."

"I understand, everything will follow SEELE's script."

--------

--------

Mist, a hazy mist, enveloped the immediate field of vision.When the breeze blows slightly, the mountain in front is revealed.

Mountains are very stable mountains, things that change over time.

Ayanami Rei raised her head and looked up at the sky again.

The sky, the blue sky, what the eyes cannot see, what the eyes can see.

The sun is unique.

Water, something that makes people feel comfortable; Shinji, something that makes people feel comfortable; flowers, things that make people feel comfortable; there are many similar things, and there are also many useless things.

Countless scattered images quickly switched in front of his eyes, including the familiar Major Katsuragi, the pilot of Unit [-], and the mutilated head of Unit Zero. His field of vision expanded infinitely, until he reached the broader universe.

Sky, red sky, destroyed world, red, the color I hate, flowing liquid, ocean, blood, bloodless woman, human beings created from red soil, human beings created by men and women, who do not want to return red world.

Cities are man-made things; EVA is also man-made things.

What is a person?Was it created by God, or was it something created by the actions of men and women?

What I have, the heart, the container of the heart.

Insert the bolt, it is the high platform of the soul.

who I am?Who am I?Who else is in front of me?

Ayanami Rei turned around, and someone seemed to put a hand on her shoulder.But when he turned around, what he saw was his other face, and when he turned around, his hand was on the other's shoulder.

She stared at the somewhat horrifying scene in front of her. Countless selves with clean postures as if they were born, just holding each other's shoulders, forming an endless circle.

Different world, different future, different past, same self.

There is a self with short hair, a self with long hair, a self with blue hair, a self with silver hair, and a self with purple hair.

But Ayanami Rei didn't feel scared, because she could feel that all of them had the same soul.

But then Ayanami Rei looked down at her body.

This body is me, it forms its own shape, I can be seen with my eyes, but I feel that I am not me, it is a very strange feeling, the feeling of my body being melted.

The flawed me——

The long and sharp sound, like the neighing sound of a summer cicada, still echoed in Ayanami Rei's ears, with a deep aftertaste.This lingering sound was like the neighing of summer cicadas, but it gradually weakened until it disappeared.The world fell from dreamland to calm reality.

Shinji Ikari lowered his head slightly, "Are you having a nightmare?" He hugged the trembling girl tightly in his arms, and he could feel her uneasiness.

It was rare that at such a close distance, he could not sense the source of Ayanami Rei's uneasiness.She could just feel her heart beating.

Oh, Shinji Ikari quietly removed his hand from Ayanami Rei's chest, and now he couldn't feel it anymore.

"...I don't know." Ayanami Rei hummed, but soon fell into a peaceful dream again. She just instinctively moved towards Shinji Ikari's arms, as if looking for a more comfortable position.

Chapter 98: Soul, Seat of Soul

Although the girl was lying in her arms as clean as if she was born, Ayanami Rei did not have any lust in her heart.Even her current appearance and her state in the locker room were just because she liked it, and she catered to her own taste.

In the last simulation experiment, Shinji Ikari seemed to understand that Ayanami Rei's love for him may be similar to his love for Unit-[-].

Although Shinji Ikari thought that if he really wanted to do something to her, she would agree to it.But in that case, only yourself would be happy, and it would be very boring.

Shinji Ikari lowered his head and kissed her hair.

That's fine. Shinji Ikari hugged the warm body in his arms tightly, and lifted it up with his right hand from below so that he could hold it more comfortably.But just as she was correcting her posture, Ayanami Rei stretched out two fair arms, wrapped them around Shinji Ikari's neck, and buried her head on the boy's neck.

It was at this time that Shinji Ikari seemed to smell the long-lost smell of blood.It's very light and fine. If you really want to examine it carefully, it seems to be very similar to the smell of the current sea of ​​blood.

This time, Shinji Ikari was finally able to confirm that it was emanating from Ayanami Rei's body.

For some reason, Shinji Ikari suddenly thought that Rei Ayanami hadn't had her menarche yet.She has many physical problems, emotional and mental problems, and desires that a normal person should have. She should ask Dr. Akagi about it sometime.

Just thinking about it, Shinji Ikari hugged Ayanami Rei and fell asleep again.

It's still 10:30 in the morning, NERV Hakone, the first body exchange experiment, the subject - the third qualified person, Shinji Ikari.

All morning, Shinji Ikari had been thinking about Rei Ayanami, but he didn't have time to talk to Ritsuko Akagi yet.He followed MAGI's instructions and entered the cockpit one after another.

Not Unit [-], but Unit Zero.

Entering the cockpit of Unit Zero, Shinji Ikari had a completely different feeling, different from the cockpit of Unit [-], and even different from the cockpit of Unit [-].Being in Unit Zero, after measuring the synapse level of neurons, I had a very subtle feeling.

At this time, in the monitoring room outside, Ritsuko Akagi leaned in front of the computer and looked at the comparison of the measured neuron synaptic levels of Unit [-] with the data from Unit [-].

"The synchronization rate has dropped significantly compared with Unit [-]. Sure enough, Unit [-] is still the most suitable for Shinji Ikari."

Although the third qualified person currently displayed successfully broke through the neuron level during measurement, the synchronization rate was only maintained at 99%.

"That shouldn't be the case. The third qualified person is so good at driving Unit [-]. It's only right that he should maintain similar values ​​when driving Unit [-]." Maya Ibuki, who was in charge of monitoring and recording, was a little confused, "Unit [-] and Unit [-] The individual models of the machine are very close, shouldn’t they be so different?”

"That's why synchronization is possible." Ritsuko Akagi stood aside and said softly, "However, it is a bit strange that the synchronization rate has dropped so exaggeratedly. Please report other data for comparison."

"The error is 0.003 harmonic value, which is very normal; the driver's mental test is normal." Maya Ibuki answered.

"Confirm data reception again. The mode is green and there are no abnormal reactions." Hinata Cheng replied.

"The main power supply connection is normal and all restraints are normal." Aoye Shigeru replied.

"Understood, proceed to the second phase of the exchange test." Ritsuko Akagi ordered.

With the deeper dive, it is completely equivalent to the depth of Ayanami Rei's dive, but the synchronization rate still maintains 99%.

"The harmonic values ​​are completely normal, and no problems have been detected between the third qualified person and Unit Zero." Maya Ibuki said.

"It shouldn't be. All other data are normal. Only the synchronization rate is not up to standard. The modes between Unit [-] and Unit [-] are also completely similar." Ritsuko Akagi was troubled.

"Stop talking, the synchronization rate of 99 is already extremely good. You can see Asuka's eyes turning red with envy." Misato Katsuragi leaned next to Ritsuko Akagi and said in a low voice.

But even if she whispered like this, she was still heard by the sensitive Asuka.

"I didn't! Who would be jealous of that idiot!" Asuka roared loudly.

"No, no, we didn't say you were jealous, it was just me!" Misato Katsuragi smiled and bowed her hands, coaxing the pilot of Unit [-] in front of her who could easily lose control of her emotions.

Asuka crossed her arms and snorted, "Ha, I have no interest in flying other units. Unit [-] is the most outstanding EVA. Instead of paying attention to me, you should pay attention to the top student. She seems to be the jealous one."

At this time, after Asuka reminded her, Ritsuko Akagi saw Ayanami Rei squatting on the ground, holding her stomach, looking a little ugly.

"What's wrong, Rei?" Ritsuko Akagi came over and asked with concern.

Speaking of which, at work, Ritsuko Akagi calls other pilots "second qualified" and "third qualified". Only when addressing Ayanami Rei, she seems to call her name affectionately.

But it just seems, because her attitude towards Ayanami Rei is not even as friendly as towards the other two.

"It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable inside. It's probably because I didn't eat very well in the morning. I'm fine now." Ayanami Rei replied.

Regarding the physical feedback of that brief moment just now, what Ayanami Rei felt was not pain.But for a person like her who lacks natural emotions, the other expression besides the expressionless face is pain.

She didn't know what it felt like, but the feedback from her body was strange.

But it’s not annoying, and there’s even a sense of joy in being a part of it.Only Asuka has been observing the number one girl, because her intuition, or a woman's intuition, made her realize that there was something different about Ayanami Rei just now.

Ritsuko Akagi carefully looked at Ayanami Rei's plain face, looking at the expressionless face, probably believing that she was fine, so she turned back to work and looked at the chart fed back on the computer.

The computer screen was divided into eight small screens. In addition to the synchronization rate, several charts with very close data also confirmed Ritsuko Akagi's conjecture.

"All the data looks normal. In this case, we may be able to carry out the plan." Ritsuko Akagi nodded and made up his mind.

"Are you talking about the puppet system? Even in front of seniors, I still disagree." Ibuki Maya frowned. This was the first time she refuted her guide.

Ritsuko Akagi said calmly, "I understand that you don't agree, but we need to nip it in the bud. This is a necessary measure for human beings to survive."

Ritsuko Akagi's expression was very cold regarding the disagreement between her most promising assistant.Although she always acted like a researcher, she was actually the head of a department, and her priority on NERV's serial number was even higher than Misato Katsuragi's.

If she wants to make a certain decision, the development department must make it according to her ideas.

"I respect my seniors and will do my job, but I still can't accept it," Ibuki Maya said.

"It's hard to be mysophobic, especially when you live among people. When you feel dirty, you understand."

"Senior is the one who really worked hard. Do you dare to say such things in front of Shinji Ikari?"

"What does this have to do with the third qualified person..." Ritsuko Akagi started, but stopped midway.

At this time, Ibuki Maya really looked at the senior he admired.Although she does not approve of the puppet system, she is more worried about the safety of her senior.

"When it comes to Unit-[-], he won't let it go. Although Shinji-kun is very approachable and treats everyone well, we all know his true face, and seniors should know better——"

Ritsuko Akagi suddenly turned around and looked at Misato Katsuragi, who had crossed her arms and remained silent. Seeing her friend staring at her intently, Misato Katsuragi just spread her hands helplessly.

"I know the paranoid ideas of you researchers, and I don't want to destroy your enthusiasm. But if you really want to implement a puppet system in the body of Unit-[-]," having said this, Misato Katsuragi closed her eyes and imagined it. ,

"You will be killed by him."

Katsuragi Misato said with absolute certainty.

Chapter 99: In the sea of ​​people, there are you and me

As the commander and guardian who lives with him day and night, Misato Katsuragi is undoubtedly very aware of the ferocious side hidden under Shinji Ikari's kind appearance.It can even be said that that is the true nature of his soul.

But as a good friend, she also knew Ritsuko Akagi's persistence as an experimenter.
