As for the dismissal of Commander-in-Chief Ikari Gendo as the pilot of Shinji Ikari, Misato Katsuragi knew very well that SEELE would intervene sooner or later.But she didn't add any exaggeration, she just answered the question truthfully.

At this time, Misato Katsuragi knew that the backlash that truly belonged to Ikari Gendo was coming.

Regarding the dismissal of Shinji Ikari as the pilot of Unit-[-], there was an overwhelming wave of internal opposition in NERV. However, Gendo Ikari, as the commander-in-chief, fought against all opinions and suppressed all conflicts, but this did not mean that everything was fine.

Everyone is waiting for the first apostle to appear after his dismissal.

After all, even without the strongest pilot Ikari Shinji, NERV was still able to complete the crusade with an absolute advantage and give everyone a satisfactory answer.Or was it that there were heavy casualties in the end and cries of mourning filled the land?

In fact, even if NERV really easily completed the attack on the new apostles, many people would still feel that Ikari Yuantang had done something wrong, let alone the current embarrassing situation.

In fact, the new apostle who occupied Unit 2's body to complete the reliance was not as oppressive as the Thunder Apostle and the Sky Apostle, but it caused more than [-] casualties. The entire Matsushiro area was transformed into a sea of ​​​​purgatory fire, and the disaster has continued to this day. Still rescuing.

"That's it, stand down." The Latino member who spoke first said.

"As ordered." Misato Katsuragi nodded and took the initiative to exit the door.

A few seconds later, the lights in the conference room turned on again. The dim No. 13 seat at this time was not an illusory blood-red stone tablet that replaced the members, but a real person sitting there.

"Did you hear that, Ikari?" At the first table, Chilu Lorenz spoke softly.

Ikari Yuantang folded his hands on his chin and nodded slightly, "The apostles are beginning to possess wisdom. This is an inevitable trend. The descendants of Adam who eat the Fruit of Life are far capable of evolving at a speed that exceeds human expectations."

"This is not what we are asking about, but about Shinji Ikari." The sound of a man tapping the table impatiently came from the illusory stone tablet in the fourth seat.

"We originally had no intention of interfering with your decision, but during this period of time you have been so violent that we have to wonder whether you are still qualified to sit in this position." Another member also reprimanded.

However, Ikari Yuantang's expression remained unchanged, staring coldly at the darkness ahead.

"It was predicted in mythology that the apostles who eat the fruit of life will gain wisdom. The birth of these two angels proves this prophecy. We don't have much time left."

After a long silence, the remaining twelve members of the Soul Seat fell silent.It seemed like everyone was talking about their own issues, but Ikari Yuantang hit the mark on their biggest hidden problem.Both those who dislike him and those who promote him admit that at this moment when they are about to reach the fateful node recorded in the Dead Sea Document, they do not allow large-scale civil strife among them.

No matter how powerful the current Ikari Yuantang is, but in the more than ten years since NERV was established, there has never been a person who can replace Ikari Yuantang's position.Neither the outstanding and powerful ministers of various departments behind Ikari Yuantang nor the heavy industry consortium and IPEA as challengers can do it.

Perhaps more importantly, the course of destiny cannot be affected because of him.

Of course, this is on the premise that he doesn't make things worse——

Looking at the quiet conference room where there was no sound of reprimand for the time being, Ikari Yuantang pushed up his glasses and understood that his biggest crisis was temporarily relieved.

"There is no need to worry about the Twelve Apostles this time. I will deal with him." Ikari Yuantang promised.

"I hope you won't disappoint us again, Ikari." President Jilu at the first seat rang the bell to end the meeting, "The meeting is dismissed."

The blue and white taxi stopped in the crowded lane, and Shinji Ikari and Mana Kirishima had to get out and walk forward.

At this time, all the cars on the road were heading out of the city. To the west was the Second New Tokyo City, to the south was Tokyo Bay, and to the north was the Third New Tokyo City that they had escaped from.

Shinji Ikari and Mana Kirishima failed to eat the Kaihetei in Ginza, nor the ramen of Misato Katsuragi. Instead, they each held a bowl of instant noodles and ate while walking.When she first returned to Tokyo Port, Katsuragi Misato's expression suddenly became stern when she received the call, and she hurriedly left Shinji Ikari behind and returned to Hakone.

At this time, the airship passing overhead was playing a news report, which reported that NERV had perfectly successfully repelled the new apostles occupying the No. [-] machine, allowing the apostles to flee, sinking in the sand, losing their armor; and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces Take advantage of the victory and pursue it with all your strength, knocking the opponent into the bottom of the sea without daring to show his head.This is a great victory for the Yamato nation!The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!

News reports are full of joy, but underneath there is boiling public discontent.

"If you fail to govern, the people will settle the score!"

"The management of NERV should commit suicide by committing seppuku!"

"Sun Xiaochuan should immediately kneel under the rising sun and apologize!"

"Apologise to the Emperor! Apologize to the [-] suffering compatriots! Apologize to the entire Yamato nation!"

"Let the third qualified person pilot Unit [-] again! The other pilots are garbage!"

After returning to modern society at this time, he was naturally able to connect to the Internet. After Shinji Ikari caught a few gangsters who were smashing and robbing in the streets, he used the money they contributed to buy a new mobile phone.A casual search on the Internet will show that the demonstrators came from Taitung, Sumida, Koto, Arakawa, Adachi, Katsushika, Edogawa and other areas, spanning various industries such as medical care, aviation, banking, railways, postal services, police and firefighting.About [-] groups participated in the demonstration, including the Tokyo Federation of Industrial Unions, the Tokyo Higher Education Industrial Union, and the Labor Human Rights Association.

Tokyo Labor Party Chairman Hideki Dekisugi said that today's militaristic society does not give the people at the bottom a chance to choose and does not give the people hope to survive.Everyone is working hard to live. We are not demonstrating, but fighting for the future of Japan and the rights of the entire Japanese society.

Chika Fujiwara, chairman of the Tokyo Democratic Party, a member of the Musashino Prefecture, and the president of the Labor Human Rights Association, pointed out that chaos is everywhere in Tokyo, the situation is deteriorating, and it is on the edge of a humble existence.Japan's democracy is a dictator's democracy and a minority democracy.

Shinji Ikari even witnessed a photo with his face printed on it being put into a photo frame filled with flowers and being held high by fans in the parade.He always had the feeling that he was already a martyr who died heroically.

Even in this demonstration, a lot of riots have spawned, and many extremists have even taken this opportunity to vent their dark desires.The gangsters who contributed a lot of money to Shinji Ikari are

In order to prevent greater riots, all police officers have assembled at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters. Emperor Sakigawa and his family are on their way to the refuge. The wartime Self-Defense Forces fighter group has taken off from Kisarazu Base, and Tokyo airspace will be fully taken over. .

At this moment, Kirishima Mana suddenly understood the true meaning of Shinji Ikari's mention of the Sword of Damocles.

The more power a person has, the more responsibility he has.Behind the peace and tranquility are hidden dangers and uneasiness. Many people just covet Shinji Ikari's honor and status, but when they expel him from his seat, are they ready to make greater sacrifices in exchange for gains?

We must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious about possible serious consequences at any time.

At this time, with a ding-dong, a video of tens of seconds was transmitted to Shinji Ikari's mobile phone. At this time, Kirishima's real name poked his head to watch with some curiosity.I thought it was some exciting short video, but it turned out to be a short video of the Graupel Angel reborn after the N2 bomb bombing.

The figure revealed in the thick smoke, although its body was incomplete, was rapidly regenerating.The red tendrils of flesh make people's scalp numb, but what is truly frightening is the white part that continues to spread on his body, which symbolizes that the part belonging to the fetal apostle is also being assimilated by the Graupel Angel at this moment.

"The lesser god Badir, who has the essence of the Son of God in the Book of Enoch, has also completed his upgrade." Shinji Ikari said softly.

Watching the Graupel Angel in the video take possession of the Fetus Angel's power, it's like a mythical transformation.Elevated from the status of Archangel to Chief of Seraphim, evolved from the slime-like February Angel to the thunder of God that summons destruction.

Even Shinji Ikari had to admit that the opponent had grown from a piece of garbage that could be easily killed to a bastard worthy of being ravaged by him.

But soon, Kirishima Mana discovered something very crucial.

"You can get this kind of confidential video at the first time. Aren't you dismissed?" Kirishima's real name was a little confused.

"Do you think I'm really alone?" Shinji Ikari closed his phone, "I still have some energy inside NERV."

More than just energy, compared to ordinary people who only know Shinji Ikari based on videos and promotional news, NERV employees who truly understand Shinji Ikari's nature are more likely to be surrounded by him, especially the combat department and development department, where there are many of them. of iron powder.That is, members of the Knight Guard.

At the risk of going to a military court, it was not his fans who shared this confidential video with Shinji Ikari, but Ritsuko Akagi.But the corner of Shinji Ikari's mouth only showed a sarcastic coldness, and this scene was also seen by Kirishima's real name.

"You're going back, right?" Kirishima asked cautiously.

"This is not the end, but the beginning." Shinji Ikari winked at the girl, "If I guess correctly, you will soon receive a new order. When we meet again tomorrow, maybe you can The word spy was removed."

Kirishima Mana is a smart girl, but she is very love-minded when it comes to matters related to Shinji Ikari, and it is normal for her love-minded IQ to be lower than that of a dog.She did receive a new task that night, but for her, it was the good news she had dreamed of.

The defeat in the head-on battle with the Graupel Angel occupying Unit [-] did not start Ikari Gendo's backlash.

The real beginning was marked by Shinji Ikari's refusal to return to NERV, which also meant that no one was wiping Yuantang Ikari's butt. He could only rely on his own strength to fight against the rapidly growing God's Thunder.

But what even Ikari Yuantang himself did not expect was that with the dismissal of Shinji Ikari, an undercurrent that was far more turbulent than he imagined would surge underground.

But in a short period of time - the one who was most affected was not Kirishima's real name, nor Ikari Gendo, but Kaji Ryoharu, who had never fulfilled his obligations as a psychiatrist.

The famous writer Trump once said after watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, "When we met at the beginning of the third Tokyo, Shinji changed our lives at first sight."

Many girls fall in love with Shinji Ikari at first sight. Even though he is just a confused child, his popularity with girls is still good.The favorability of the girls in the main plot is slowly unlocked, but the female protagonists or female supporting characters in the branch plot really meet each other at the beginning of the third Tokyo.

There are people whose favorability levels are high even without meeting each other - Suzuhara Toji's younger sister, Suzuhara Sakura.It's probably because he listened to his brother too much and his love for her became deep-rooted.

[-]: Marduk Mechanism

The old town of Kyoto is adjacent to the abandoned factories of Gion Town.

Among the falling leaves, silver Honda cars slowly moved up the street. Summer is the peak tourist season in Kyoto, and most of them were Serisians wearing kimonos and taking pictures everywhere.

It is often said that during the peak tourist season, there are more Serisians than Japanese in Kyoto.Because Kyoto, a Japanese city, has special meaning to Seris.

In 794 AD, Emperor Tsunemu moved the capital to Kyoto from Nara, beginning a history of more than 1000 years in Kyoto.Starting from the Nara period, the Japanese capital can be said to have perfectly copied the market system design of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. The difference is only a matter of size.Due to geographical constraints, the area of ​​​​Ping'an Jing is only one-fifth of Chang'an.In the Shaanxi Museum in Xi'an, there is a detailed introduction to the urban planning of Chang'an. At the same time, it compares the planning map of Kyoto, Japan, and introduces the influence of Chang'an on Japanese urban planning and design.

Wearing a hood and a mask, Blessing Liangzhi looked like the most ordinary tourist. After driving into the streets of the old city, he stopped in the parking lot next to the street.Then he walked through the bustling Gion Town and walked into an abandoned factory next to it.

There were overgrown weeds inside, and only sparse sunlight fell through the gaps. Kaji Ryoji sat cross-legged at the door.After waiting for half an hour, he heard the sound of rustling footsteps and instinctively reached for the pistol in his arms. However, when the visitor came to the door, he did not open the door and enter. Instead, he whispered, " it's me."

Sitting in front of the sunny steps was an ordinary aunt feeding a white cat. She was wearing a purple sweater and her waist was thicker than her hips.She is the kind of ordinary woman who can stand alone in a crowd and not be looked at twice.Just like the most common middle-aged woman in Kyoto, her eyes lit up when she saw the white cat scratching its chin on one leg in front of the steps. She put down the rattan basket carried in her right hand and squatted down to stroke the back of the white cat's neck.

But such a seemingly ordinary woman made Kaji Ryoji completely relax.

"...It's you." Kaji Ryoji said softly.

Don't get me wrong, they don't know each other, but the conversation itself is part of the street code.

After confirming that the other party's identity was correct, the ordinary middle-aged woman who fed the cat did not go in. Instead, she still sat on the steps and fed the cat. Her kind face seemed to be whispering to the cat, "Shanon Biochemistry, A foreign-owned chemical factory was here nine years ago, but it has been like this since then.”

The woman in the sweater who was feeding the cat paused for a moment, giving Kaji Ryouji time to think.

"108 of the 106 companies related to the Marduk Agency are shell companies, and this is the 107th one. This is the register of this company."

At this time, the aunt opened a fashion magazine, with Asuka Saito and Mai Takada printed on the cover, but through the gap in the door, the real content of the magazine could be seen.

"You want me to see the chairman's column," Kaji Ryoharu said softly.

"So you've already guessed it." The aunt raised her eyebrows slightly.

I saw three names revealed at the top of the register——

[Director: Ikari Yuantang]

[Director: Dongyue Xingzhi]

[Director: Gil Lorenz]

"They are all familiar names." Kaji Ryoji gritted his teeth and sighed, but his tone was mixed with pain from the long past, "The Marduk Agency is a direct advisory body of the Human Completion Committee established to find EVA pilots. Agency. The actual situation of the organization is not yet clear.”

If the contents of this register were to spread, we can imagine what kind of earthquake it would cause.The true relationship between the two people who were originally thought to be enemies, the true face of Marduk's organization, and... the scales he had investigated a long time ago, and pieced together information about the real Asuka.

But even though he was burdened with the blood feud of his childhood, Kaji Ryoji still had no thoughts of revealing it, because he knew that it would not bring anything, and even the moment he carried out the action, he would be obliterated by the country behind him.

But he knew that there was a boy who would need it very soon.

At this time, the middle-aged aunt sitting on the steps closed the magazine and had no intention of handing the register to Kaji Ryoji.She focused on petting the white cat, then hugged it with a smile and spoke affectionately.

"Your job remains unchanged. It is still to secretly investigate NERV. Be careful to hide your identity. You should know best what will happen if you appear in Marduk's agency. Where is their next target?"

Kaji Yoshiji shook his head: "There is no definite news. But obviously the field department and the combat department have been very active recently. The latest news is that a piece of top-secret information has just been sent to Hakone from the United States, but it was immediately forwarded to the Central Doctrine District. The next target is very It may be a proactive attack on the apostles. For Misato Katsuragi's initiative to contact Shinji Ikari and leaks from internal personnel, Ikari Gendo and others did not have any punishment. Perhaps they wanted this method to allow Shinji Ikari to return to the headquarters."

"It's really a petty behavior, so continue to pay attention." The middle-aged woman nodded, "In addition, the superiors said that Shinji Ikari is our next target. Last time we rashly contacted the third qualified person in the Gora area, I'm afraid he has been Guessed your identity."

Kaji Ryoji put away his smile, "I looked down on him a little at that time, and I couldn't treat him like a child."

"But since you are still safe and sound, it means that he has no intention of reporting you. And now that he has clearly refused to return to NERV, your new task is to express our goodwill to him. If possible-"

The aunt who was petting the cat paused, and even her movements of petting the cat were a little gentle.

"—Let him come to us."

--------

After a night of rain, the air in the port area is very fresh.

Similarly, after a month of evacuating the entire city, even the flow of people in Second New Tokyo City has been visibly reduced.

Shinji Ikari had a casual breakfast, because he had an impromptu appointment at noon, and someone was hosting a banquet at the Tamamozen Grand Hotel.

The two-hundred-kilogram deep-sea Atlantic Ocean was placed on the long table. The belly of the fish was cut open with a Honyaki knife as bright as a mirror. The belly of the fish was as attractive as a pink watermelon sac.Surrounding this main dish are Eastern Star Spot, Green Star Nine-spine Bass, and carp noodles flown in from Seris. The fragrance of Fenjiu in the pottery bottle is refreshing. .

"General Tsurumaki, this is too much in the year of the great calamity." Shinji Ikari tapped his knuckles on the large glaze case of Guanghua Appraisal and couldn't help but shake his head.

Sitting opposite him at this time was the current head of the military department, Kazuya Tsurumaki, who was also a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Shinji-san, the monsoon in the Pacific has stirred up, and the heat wave in the Huangpu River has stirred up." Kazuya Tsurumaki raised his glass in greeting.

Shinji Ikari didn't think too much. A group of people had a very comfortable lunch. He had just come down from the Tamamo-mae Hotel.Sitting in a convertible sports car given to me by the kindhearted Kazuya Tsurumaki, next to me was a girl who was given to me as a gift.

The Maserati was running wildly on the viaduct, and the beauty sitting next to Shinji Ikari was also a gift.Kirishima's real name suddenly dawned on her, so Shinji Ikari opened the hardtop convertible. The raindrops and wind hurt her face, which finally made her wake up.

"Have you known my identity before?" Kirishima's real name was a little shocked.

"Otherwise, do you think you are a KGB agent or a black widow? Maybe your superiors just want you to come here because they want you to implement a honey trap." Shinji Ikari complained, "The difference is just a female spy from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Investigation Department or a military spy." Just a young soldier from Fang."

Obviously, Shinji Ikari guessed correctly.When I first saw Kirishima's real name, I felt that she was like a peacock who was tiptoeing but couldn't help but spread her tail towards him. She spread her tail wherever she went. She was obviously a spy but was narcissistic and arrogant.

If the military really wants people like her to steal information, then the country is hopeless.

"Oh, that's it." Kirishima Mana put his hands on his knees, a little restrained.

Kirishima's real name was born in Akune, Kyushu.His father is a construction worker at the Tokyo Bay Landfill, and his mother is an editor of a literary magazine.He studied in a boarding school and then transferred to the Third New Tokyo Municipal Junior High School.but--

This is only external information. In fact, she is one of many children selected by the Strategic Self-Defense Forces to be independent humanoid weapon pilots under extremely secret conditions. The purpose of approaching Shinji is only to "collect information on EVA" , provided to the weapons development department to improve the performance of the robot."

"The independent humanoid weapon pilot of the Strategic Self-Defense Force, I didn't expect that the military department is also trying to make its own EVA." Shinji Ikari raised the corners of his mouth, not only smiling but also sarcastic.

Now that the military has given up on secret theft, at this special moment when NERV is showing its decline and Shinji Ikari clearly refuses to return, they want to join forces.Directly bring the third qualified person, known as the world's treasure, back to the Self-Defense Forces to become their trump card.
