Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

"Attack with a beam from a long distance. His AT position is limited." At this time, the technician who was trying to attack the No. [-] unit with water apostles shouted loudly. He now looked nothing like a technician, but was fighting The top player in the group said, "Fire at him! Don't be stingy with energy!"

The spears of light were like a torrential rain, and the barrage hit the AT station of Unit [-], splashing out firelight as dense as flowers. Within seconds, there was a new round, turning into a dense platinum rain.This gamer in the guise of a calculator did not hesitate, because he knew very well that if he only needed a few seconds at night, the apostle he controlled would also be killed.

But what he said was too late. During the short interval between light gun rotations, Unit [-] had already escaped.At this moment, the technician who controlled the apostle felt alarm bells ringing in his heart, but the next second he saw the mechanical head of Unit [-] glowing with yellow light.

He had just experienced the assault speed of Unit [-], even though he was also the controller of the simulation training.But he couldn't even see the movements of Unit [-], let alone dodge.One moment he saw the core of the chest of the apostle next to him cracked, and the next moment he was penetrated to the vital point. There seemed to be no time interval at all.

"Game over."

Misato Katsuragi looked at her friends next to her, showing a victory gesture with a smile on her face.

Although the number of virtual water apostles is close to double digits, only the two that can be truly flexible are controlled by technical developers.These two were destroyed one after another, and it was only a matter of time before the rest of the Water Apostles, who were only managed by the AI, were killed.

Chapter 14: Asuka, Rei Ayanami, Shinji Ikari

It is only a matter of time before Shinji Ikari wins, and during this gap——

"You seem to be even happier than him about Shinji Ikari's outstanding performance." Ritsuko Akagi looked at her friend and college classmate.

"Of course, I am his operational commander, and his glory is half as great as mine." Misato Katsuragi blinked at Ritsuko Akagi, perhaps because she had been with Shinji Ikari for a long time, and she was infected with the chuuniu aura.

What about Terra, chivalry, glory, responsibility and obligation, emperor... they are all words that are worth mentioning.

"But I heard that you applied to your superiors to live with Shinji Ikari." Ritsuko Akagi suddenly talked about another issue.

"Oh, this, the commander-in-chief also approved it..."

For unknown reasons, when talking about this matter, Katsuragi Misato's voice suddenly weakened by a few decibels, making her seem a little out of breath.Ritsuko Akagi, who originally mentioned it casually, looked at her friend next to her with some suspicion.

She waved her hand with a flattering smile and added with a smile, "Well, of course! Don't worry, I will never mess around with a child. This is against the law!"

"Nonsense! Don't even say such words!" Ritsuko Akagi yelled angrily.

The whine of the steam horn interrupted the conversation between the two ladies. The engineers responsible for the final debugging stood up, trotted away, and took the elevators located in various corners to the aerial platform.

This means that the simulation training is officially over, and the staff are gathered below.There is no stinginess in giving thunderous applause to the third qualified person who has completed an outstanding performance.

After all, the staff and their families also live in Third Tokyo City. If something unspeakable happens under the attack of the apostles, they will most likely die together.As the pilot of Unit [-], Shinji Ikari's outstanding performance was not intended to bring them strong reassurance.

Shinji Ikari, who came out of the cockpit, was wearing a jumpsuit made of some kind of black fiber. The black fiber was extremely elastic and clung to the surface of his body like another layer of skin.But its real function is to improve the synchronization rate between the driver and EVA. However, Shinji Ikari’s set is a specific model and its main function is to enhance stability.

However, the handsome boy stood under the warm light, wearing a black jumpsuit and wet straight hair, which made people feel a little confused for a moment.

Misato Katsuragi raised her head and looked at her colleagues around her. The people in the air were holding on to the iron railings and looking down at the young man walking out of the cockpit. "Ritsuko-chan, do you feel that this fortress city seems like a huge bucket?" In the zoo, the audience placed their bets and waited for the ending. But the person who decided the fate of mankind was only a 14-year-old boy."

"Shut up, I don't want to talk to a perverted corkscrew, it will spread germs." Ritsuko Akagi replied coldly.

"Really, you should develop some sense of humor." Misato Katsuragi blinked.

Misato Katsuragi, the operational commander, was still responsible for welcoming Shinji Ikari. She skillfully handed the boy a towel and allowed him to wipe his hair.

"First of all, congratulations to you, Shinji-kun. Your results are quite outstanding. In a five-minute annihilation battle, you only spent four minutes and 5 seconds to complete the total annihilation." Misato Katsuragi said.

"It's not bad. After all, the actual combat power of the AI-simulated virtual water apostle is only one-third of the real water apostle. Breaking through the so-called red core is much easier." Shinji Ikari handed the towel to Misato Katsuragi.

After taking it, Katsuragi Misato stood obediently behind the boy and wiped his hair.

"But don't be so proud. Let me tell you. There is a qualified person in Germany who is as good as you, maybe even better."

"Oh, what's his name?" Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows.

"——Langley, you did a great job."

In Berlin, Germany, it was also a simulation training. A girl wearing a red training uniform climbed out of the cockpit.He skillfully took the towel handed by the operations commander and wiped his hair.

Shikinami Asuka Langre, the exclusive pilot and second qualified person of EVA Unit [-].She grew up in the United States, but is three-quarters German and one-quarter Japanese.The powers that be throughout the Western world know her name as she is known as the best pilot.

A genius child who graduated from college at the age of 14 and can speak English, German and Japanese.She has always regarded herself as the best EVA pilot, but this pride was shaken today.

"Sir Tiffany, do you have any other tasks?" Asuka wiped her golden hair and stared at the operations commander beside her with a sharp look.

The lady with thin cheeks handed her the notebook in her hand, "This is from the Japanese headquarters. You should take a look at this battle data first."

Looking at the serious expression of the operations commander, Asuka also realized that it might be a very important document. She didn't bother to wipe her hair clean and just fiddled with the computer a few times. Her originally casual expression became more serious.

"This is the combat data of Unit 3 in the Japanese headquarters' encounter against the Water Apostles. In this battle, Shinji Ikari, the third qualified person, piloted Unit 280 to attack the Water Apostles for the first time. It only took [-] minutes. The plan was completed. Moreover, the synaptic level of neurons was stable at [-]% synchronization rate during the battle. As for the AT position data, the headquarters did not send it, and this is his battle data..."

At this time, the lady standing next to Asuka did not care about the increasingly gloomy expression of the second qualified person next to her. In other words, she intended to use the excellent performance of the third qualified Japanese person to suppress the second qualified person in her hand. The qualified person is too arrogant.

"With such amazing results, he may be the most outstanding EVA driver. He is actually much better than you." Sir Tiffany sighed softly.

It’s almost like they have a tacit understanding. Misato Katsuragi in Japan and Sir Tiffany in Germany are trying to use the excellent results of other qualified people to suppress the arrogance of their own qualified people.But compared to Shinji Ikari, who was extremely confident in himself, Asuka's eyes widened when she saw the combat data in front of her.

But what really dealt a critical blow to Asuka was the next words of her own operations commander.

"By the way, starting tomorrow, we will re-plan your training plan based on the combat data provided by the headquarters."

"I don't need it! Again, I don't need this so-called combat data at all!" Asuka threw off the towel and jumped off the platform, "Isn't it just to destroy an apostle? Isn't it just to be one step ahead of me? That’s just because I didn’t take it seriously! Just wait and see!”

But Sir Tiffany, who was holding the notebook, looked at the girl's back with a smile on her face.

Chapter 15: On the verge of losing control

On the other side, the same simulation training is going on.

Ayanami Rei lay down in the cockpit skillfully and waited quietly for the instruction to allow the spinal catheter system to be connected.

Purely in terms of EVA driving experience, Rei Ayanami, the pilot of Unit Zero, is the senior.Regarding the appearance of Shinji Ikari, Asuka, the second qualified person in Germany, was furious like a lion whose territory was violated, but Rei Ayanami just waited quietly for the connection, with an expressionless face.It's been like this since I met her. This girl never seems nervous, never worried, and doesn't really care about anything.

No one knew what was going on in her heart.

But in fact, she is the first qualified person recognized in the Marduk Research Institute report, the first girl, and the designated pilot of the EVA Experimental Type Zero Unit.Her past is a blank slate, all records erased.

Standing in front of the bulletproof glass on the third floor, the staff taking experimental records looked sideways at Commander-in-Chief Ikari Yuantang next to him.Because he knew that it was the man in front of him who deleted the record of the first qualified person, if anyone was related to her past.There was only this man in front of me.

Or is it true that Rei Ayanami is his illegitimate daughter as rumored?

This is just a working OS, and conjectures like this have been made by many staff members.But this has nothing to do with the job at hand.

At this time, Ayanami Rei, who was lying in the cockpit, felt that the cockpit was moving slowly, and the spinal catheter system had just been approved.

Many people privately said that she was a puppet, but she was actually thinking about something just now, or a dream.

About the third qualified person, Ikari Shinji.

In fact, there was one thing she had never revealed to anyone. Before meeting the third qualified person, Shinji Ikari, she had seen him in her dream.

Looking back, those are just scattered memory fragments.Or in the ward surrounded by hazy fog, the woman holding him is chanting the names of Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari, or in the huge blood-colored eyes, he and he are looking at each other like a newborn baby .

But obviously I have never met him.

He even felt a little repulsive because of his sarcasm towards the Commander-in-Chief.

But at the moment when the cockpit slid completely into the spinal catheter, an unprecedented pain was passed through her mind.Then three seconds later, a rapid siren echoed throughout Hakone and echoed at the NERV headquarters.

"A major error occurred in the startup system!"

"The third phase routine failed!"

"Nervous system failure! The circuit cannot be started and the system is unstable!"

"The nerve impulse flow is flowing backwards! It cannot be stopped!"

Countless staff sitting in front of the computer reported that the system was out of control, until the computer screen suddenly went black. A black transgender female staff member sitting on the right suddenly stood up and faced Ritsuko Akagi and President Ikari Gendo on the other side. Commander reports.

"Pass-through monitor cannot connect!"

At this time, Shinji Ikari, who was sitting in front of the railing and drinking the electrolyte water specially provided in the house, suddenly saw Ritsuko Akagi's expression on the other side changed drastically. She pressed the wireless earphone on her right ear and frowned slightly.

"What? The depth of the insertion plug is unstable and it is being sucked into the EVA?!"

Misato Katsuragi, who heard the serious keyword, also looked over sideways, "What happened?"

Ritsuko Akagi looked at her friend next to her and nodded, "For some unknown reason, Unit Zero is out of control." She had just learned the news and couldn't explain it to Misato Katsuragi, but she quickly informed the people working on the other side. The personnel passed the order, "Stop contact procedures and emergency shut down circuits one to six."

Although I have never experienced an EVA out-of-control incident, I have already prepared relevant response procedures.Simply put, just unplug the power supply.Even if she loses control, Unit Zero, which cannot connect to the circuit, can only activate the backup power supply, and the power of the backup power supply can only allow her to move for 5 minutes, which means that the maximum damage can only last for 5 minutes.

The alarm sound at this time also sounded here, and Akagi Ritsuko also learned the latest news.

"The command cannot be executed, the information transmission failed, and we have completely lost control of Unit Zero!"

"How could this happen?" Misato Katsuragi shouted.

"Otherwise, let me do it. I will stop Unit Zero to prevent the Sanwu girl from suffering secondary harm." Shinji Ikari accurately threw the water bottle into the trash can far away and said calmly.

"How do you stop it?" After Katsuragi Misato finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to have said nonsense.

I saw Shinji Ikari's figure returning to the original path, standing in front of the huge purple ultimate war weapon, spreading his hands.

"——Of course I'm piloting Unit [-]."

At this time, in the No. [-] Test Site, the completely out-of-control Unit Zero broke free from the restraint frame and roared to the center of the test site.Among them, the pilot Ayanami Rei, who was buried deep in the air, had lost contact and was standing on the No. [-] Experimental Site. The parts all over his body opened and closed automatically, and hot white steam spewed out from his shoulders.

Heavy footsteps kept coming back and forth, and the armor and the wall collided from time to time, making a dull sound.The low roar of the air pump made the people who had not retreated see such a scene, and for a moment they felt as if they were in heaven or hell, but in short, they were not in this world.

But in comparison, it is more likely to go to hell.

"Unit Zero has switched to backup power and is trying to force the system to shut down!" the staff reported.

In the final analysis, simplicity is the key, whether it is a simple home computer or an 80-meter ultimate war weapon that looks awesome, these are the two methods of operation after losing control of the blue screen.

Unplug the power and force shutdown.

The former is physical and goes smoothly.But the latter did not respond. Unit Zero was like a proud goddess, ignoring all the instructions of the staff.

At this time, a security guard wearing an orange security uniform ran to Ikari Yuantang on the third floor, "The fail-safe system has not yet been activated, and Unit Zero has lost control. Commander-in-Chief, please follow us to avoid danger!"

But the moment he finished speaking, a huge sound echoed throughout the command room.

A huge iron fist that could occupy the entire field of vision slammed into the bulletproof glass of the command room. If the glass had not been made by Siris in the Western Continent, I am afraid that this single blow could have directly taken away half of the senior management and technical backbone of NERV headquarters.

But the glass has already cracked, and if it wasn't supported by the frame, it might not be able to withstand a few hammer blows.

The suffocating feeling of death was like an iron hammer pressing on everyone's chests. Looking at the fist approaching again, the timid ones even let out a sharp scream.

Until there was a loud noise like the earth was shattering, a purple giant suddenly appeared and grabbed the wrist of Unit Zero.

------

According to the needs of the plot, the content on the timeline will be adjusted somewhat.For example, the time when Unit Zero lost control was probably before the invasion of the Water Apostles.Adjust to now.

Chapter No.16: Life is the continuation of dreams

The purple ultimate war weapon appeared from the other side of the passage, leaping onto the testing ground like purple lightning.

The moment his wrist was grabbed, even the Unit-[-], which only had its instincts left, could feel the pressure brought by Unit-[-] in front of him.Perhaps just out of instinct, Unit Zero's reaction was not unpleasant, and she tried to counterattack from an AT position, but this time her actions were completely meaningless.

The unfolded AT stance melted like ice and snow. Unit [-] reached out and locked Unit Zero's neck. The steel iron hand was attached with a warm yellow concentric rhombus stance. After neutralizing Unit Zero's absolute domain, it tore apart her barriers again. .Even more terrifying than this is the power coming from that hand. Unit Zero is not wearing any equipment under its steel-framed appearance. Only the steel ring on the collar can add a little protection, but the steel ring is deforming and collapsing.

Unit [-] stood up from the testing ground with Unit [-] in hand, and a straight sharp blade popped out of his wrist. There was no doubt that his next move would be to cut off Unit [-]'s throat.

"Shinji Ikari! Stop! You can't kill anyone!" Misato Katsuragi yelled.

But in fact, everyone guessed wrong. Shinji Ikari was not going to kill people, but to save the driver.

Strong physical means were used to remove the B-type equipment on the back of Unit Zero, allowing the staff of the development department to reconnect the system of Unit Zero. This time, the 'forced shutdown' response finally came.

"There are still ten seconds until the system is forced to shut down...five seconds, four three two one, done!"

"The cockpit has been forcibly ejected, go and rescue the pilot!"

Misato Katsuragi even sounded in the testing ground with a somewhat sharp cry, perhaps an abnormal way to escape.The cockpit of Unit Zero rotated with high-frequency noise, hot steam erupted from the inside, and then a yellow columnar object flew out of it.

But Shinji Ikari, who was well prepared, grabbed it in his hands. This is the benefit of a high synchronization rate.Driving Unit [-] is like driving with an arm.Even as soon as the command came up in his mind, Unit [-] took action in advance as if he had a tacit understanding.

At this moment, Shinji Ikari looked at the yellow cockpit in the palm of his hand. For some reason, he felt as if his mind was being pulled away at this moment.

Just like the earth attracts falling apples, the mental fluctuations emitted by a creature in the cockpit of Unit Zero also attracts its own soul.

The moment he had an idea, the spinal catheter system of Unit [-] automatically unlocked, removing him and the cockpit from the body.
