Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

Korea.Rei Ayanami.

Shinji Ikari's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not take a detour or go in directly. He watched the figure behind the curtain change his clothes before approaching the narrow room.

"Is it convenient to come in?" Shinji Ikari asked, tapping his left hand lightly on the steel pipe supporting the room.

"You have come in." Ayanami Rei said softly.

Inside the dim room, Rei Ayanami, wearing a black combat uniform, looked silently at the figure standing at the door, not particularly surprised.She noticed someone approaching, but the other person didn't deliberately follow his footsteps.He felt like a robber. He just knocked politely before entering, but no matter how he responded, he would come in.

[-]: It's too late, organism

Entering the room, Shinji Ikari finally took a serious look at the environment in front of him.

Clothes discarded outside the door at any time, notes posted on the door, and piles of changed and brown-stained underwear on the bed, the whole environment of the room made Shinji Ikari feel like he had returned to the situation when he visited Ayanami Rei.

And in the center of the room was Rei Ayanami.

She was wearing a black combat uniform and stood as straight as a stake beside the bed.A beautiful but emotionless face made Shinji Ikari feel a little nostalgic.But because of these indifferent scarlet eyes, Shinji Ikari looked at her and felt like he was looking at a puppet possessed by a ghost. It was peaceful, quiet, and not even threatening to you, but it also had something indescribable. sharp.

Shinji Ikari looked at Rei Ayanami, who was still wearing combat uniforms even under normal circumstances.Judging from her wet hair, she had just taken a shower.

"The black combat uniform is a new generation product and still uses the style of my BM03. But compared to the black, the previous blue and white combat uniform is more suitable for you." Shinji Ikari said.

"Is something wrong?" Ayanami Rei's expression was cold.

Perhaps it couldn't be described as indifferent. She had no expression towards Shinji Ikari and just looked at him with a rather indifferent expression.

Shinji Ikari didn't take it seriously, but picked up an open book at any time, "This is not like a room. Don't you feel uncomfortable living in a place like this? What do you usually do?"

"Waiting for orders." Ayanami Rei replied.

"It's very your style. Since you have nothing to do, please come with me for a walk." He smiled at Ayanami Rei in a coaxing tone, "When it's over, I'll treat you to watch the fireworks."

"Is this an order?" Ayanami Rei asked.

"It can be an order. But for you and me, it's more like an invitation." Shinji Ikari approached Ayanami Rei with a smile, and naturally picked up the towel next to him and wiped her wet hair.

Ayanami Rei automatically ignored Shinji Ikari's unnecessary words. She nodded slightly towards Shinji Ikari expressionlessly, like a weapon girl who received an order.

"Since it is an order, I will obey it."

At this time, Shinji Ikari's eyes were fixed on the white shirt behind Rei Ayanami, which had the label 402 Ayanami written on it.

When did this clothes and label come from?

WILLE, the ship of hope.In the driver's room.

"No, is he sick? Has he developed Alzheimer's disease in the sky for 14 years?"

It's rare for Asuka to show off her human, lively and intelligent side.She was following Makiha closely, telling her tirelessly that the idiot Shinji was no longer an idiot, but a problem child with cerebral palsy, a bastard, and Alzheimer's disease.

There were only two encounters in total, and both times she was knocked unconscious with one blow. Does she, Miss Asuka, don't want to lose face?

He even thought that when they first met on Itoman Island 14 years later, he would rather spread his territory to protect the silver-haired NERV pilot behind him, but ignored him and didn't even say a word.

Oh, I think I said so.Asuka's brain felt a little tingly, not because it was difficult to recall, but because her subconscious refused to recall the embarrassing aspect.

"Sorry, I really didn't expect you to be so weak." When she was unconscious, the vaguely heard voice echoed in Asuka's mind again.

"Alzheimer's disease, maybe." Makiha pointed her index finger at her chin, and Asuka's casual words made her really think about it seriously, "After all, think about it, Wang-chan is not the first person in the sky. In the cockpit of the No. 14 aircraft, he was essentially in the negative universe, the imaginary number space, for the past [-] years."

"What do you mean?" Asuka crossed her arms and said casually.

"As long as human beings are still in the imaginary space, they will not age with the passage of time, and the stacking of time will be chaotic. It may not even pass a second, or it may be hundreds of years. Just like Ura in the fairy tale Shimataro, so maybe he really turned into an old monster."

"So the one who hit me was not the young idiot Shinji, but the old steel fist Shinji?" Asuka raised her eyebrows.

Makiha's face was deep, "Yes, so, under the appearance of that young man, he is a stable old man. Although he "contains his violence" and has a calm state that "he did not understand when he was young". But as long as he can be with it. If you fight, you will find that his sharpness is still being polished and he can slaughter the enemy with ease!"

"You're so big! Do you think I've never played with Fitdog?!" Asuka rolled the book into a tube shape and hit Makiha on the head with an expressionless face, "Return to the old man? Give back the jade box? Give back the energy and ferocity Sex? Why don’t you say that he is a savior from a parallel world and that he still carries God’s care?”

The more Asuka spoke, the more she gritted her teeth and chased after Makiha.

"Princess? Don't hit your head! I'm serious!" Makiha hugged his head and ran away, "Look at the move that knocked you unconscious twice. It was the Divine Fist Unrivaled Strike. There was no need to use the second punch at all!"

"Then I'm serious too!"

Asuka chased out the door, but stopped just as the door opened.

Ritsuko Akagi with blond hair stood in front of her. She looked at the two people fighting and smiled slightly, "You are very energetic, which is good. It seems that the return of Shinji Ikari has brought back the human part of you." Some."

Ritsuko Akagi was just joking unintentionally, but Asuka showed a disgusted expression as if she was insulted, "Dr. Akagi, do you think this is the function of idiot Shinji? Stop joking, I just want to punch him hard in the face. !”

"No matter what it is, it doesn't matter. Since you are here, there is no need for me to go over and notify you. Let's gather on the battle bridge. There is something to announce." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Battle bridge? Another enemy appears?" Asuka's eyes were sharp.

"No, it's a good thing." Ritsuko Akagi said.

When she arrived at the battle bridge, she saw Misato Katsuragi standing on the high platform and all the backbone of WILLE present. At this time, she finally realized that something big was about to happen.

It is indeed a good thing, and it is indeed a big event. It is a rare technological breakthrough in 14 years.

"We have achieved a breakthrough in vacuum zero-point energy technology and successfully ignited the N2 reactor. It has been 29 years since we proposed the super spiral theory, and we have finally successfully mastered the technology of the artificial S2 sustainable power mechanism." Misato Katsuragi officially announced.

There was thunderous applause for a moment.

As the inheritor of most of NERV's human resources, WILLE has protected a large number of top scientific research experts from the old era.Before the third close collision, positron weapons had been mass-produced, and antimatter and vacuum zero-point energy technologies had been proficiently used. Humans in this parallel world had mastered energy to a level far beyond that of this era.

But mastering the artificial S2 mechanism technology is still different for WILLE.

They were only on the verge of mastering this technology until they recently faced off against four 4C naval combat-type artificial apostles and obtained the artificial core made by SEELE from their corpses.Although it is only an artificial core, it is of greater value to them than the apostle core, because it is also an artificial infinite energy that shows them the way forward.

Asuka joined everyone in applauding with a expressionless face. What else could she do besides applaud?She should be happy, because mastering the artificial S2 mechanism technology also means that WILLE can only be beaten. From today on, they will have the ability to fight back.

But for some reason, Asuka is not happy, and of course, she is not sad either.

She touched the collar around her neck, probably because of it.Its existence also means that Li Lin (human beings) do not trust themselves. From the beginning to the end, she and they are not in the same camp. Everyone unites to resist NERV's attack, but they only join forces like porcupines to keep warm.

But if they really defeat NERV, or if they show signs of resistance, they will also erase themselves.They don't even know that they are trying to master the artificial S2 mechanism technology.

She was the only outsider. These people had all discussed it, and she was the only one left behind.Just like the time she tried to fly Unit 14 [-] years ago... the person she thought would come to rescue her ended up eating her own body, and now she has become one of "them" .

The apostle and Li Lin were originally two incompatible species.

The huge pressure of the crowd forced him to retreat step by step. She silently retreated to the wall and retreated to a corner, as if she was an adult who was pressed against the wall by life.She lay in the subway station with a gray face after drinking. No one noticed or cared about her. No one noticed her. Everyone was cheering.Only one person looked across the crowd and stared at Asuka silently, but Asuka didn't notice it.

That was Makiha. She, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly raised her head.Holding colorful balloons and rushing to Asuka's side,

"Hey, Princess! Why don't you take this opportunity to steal ham? They are celebrating. If we steal it now, we will definitely not be discovered!" Maki beamed.

"Now?" Asuka raised her head in surprise. In fact, she didn't need to eat, but she was surprised by Makiha's sudden proposal.

"Of course, idle time is idle anyway!" Makiha smiled and grabbed Asuka's wrist, and the colorful balloons in his hands automatically flew away, temporarily blocking Asuka's gaze.

She was in a daze for a moment, as if she was being held by someone's hand and running forward aimlessly, leaving all her worries behind.

It seems to be in the past, and it seems to be from a parallel world.

At this moment, the door to the battle bridge was suddenly opened, and a young man from the Supervision Department wearing navy blue uniforms rushed in.

"The BM03 signal has been detected again, and the target location is - New Tokyo City [-]!"

Everyone who was originally jubilant suddenly fell silent. NERV was the dominant side. If Shinji Ikari, who had returned from the negative universe, was added to the mix, what else could stop them?The joy that had just ushered in the counterattack fell into hell again, and the whole place was dead silent.

Katsuragi Misato stayed for a long time and then fell back into her chair.The claws of her hands rubbed her temples repeatedly, which was a symptom of anxiety.Because she really couldn't think of any way to break the situation.

"Let's come!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice focused everyone's attention on her again, and they saw Makiha standing at the door.She, who was always laughing and joking, had a rare expression of solemnity, and looked at everyone without timidity.

"Why are you here? Do you think WILLE's power can counterattack NERV now? Or can the two of you bring back Shinji Ikari, who destroyed the fleet and killed everyone on Itoman Island?" Ritsuko Akagi sat in Misato Katsuragi's chair Next to her, as a researcher, she is the most rational. Judging from the current comparative data, there is no possibility of victory at all.

"I can feel that he doesn't believe in WILLE, but he doesn't believe in NERV either. In this situation, it's just the two of us. Asuka, as his former partner, has performed countless missions with him in Hakone, and we have long been in love with each other. "

"Who's in love with that idiot? Stop talking nonsense, cat girl with glasses!" Asuka said angrily.

But Makiha didn't pay attention to her, or everyone present ignored her. Everyone's eyes were focused on Makiha.

"Let Asuka and I drive EVA together to bring her back. We don't need to defeat him. We will prove to him that compared to NERV, which attempts to destroy all mankind, it is more appropriate to choose WILLE, which is the hope of mankind!" Makiha's right hand He clenched his fist into a fist and hit his chest hard.

After the silence, the battle bridge burst into thunderous applause again, but this time it was dedicated to the pioneer of mankind, Makiha-san.They pin their hopes on this.

Asuka was a little dazed, but finally woke up after being pulled back to the room by Mashiba.

"In that case, wouldn't it be enough if it's just me?" Asuka said.

What they had been partners with, what kind of feelings they had for each other, weren't they just playing the emotional card to make idiot Shinji choose their side.Of course Asuka understands, she has not read comics in vain for so many years.

However, Makiha still had a serious expression on her face and stretched out her index finger to wave in front of Asuka, "Of course you can't do it alone. Don't forget, there is Rei Ayanami over there, that kind of blue-haired girl with no hair, who is super poking men's XP, want me It's Wang Jiang. She has been punished long ago! When she opens her eyes 14 years later, the child will be as old as herself! What's more, she is still a partner with Wang Jiang through life and death just like you. The weight ratio of only you is too low. !”

"What about you?" Asuka regretted it as soon as she asked this question.

I saw Makiha winking at me, "Of course I have to take the initiative. Do you know what a heavenly heroine is? Qingmei and other things have long been outdated and will be swept into the garbage heap. It’s something.”

"I always feel unreliable." Asuka squinted her eyes as she looked at her friend next to her, with a bit of disgust in her eyes. "You said you are a heroine of the Heavenly Desire. That idiot Shinji Ikari may not accept this."

Makiha hugged Asuka's shoulders vigorously, and said with high spirits, "It doesn't matter, I still have you, my princess! This is our passionate combination!"

[-]: The mother of man has become a skeleton

Meanwhile on the other side—

——NERV, the former Hakone.

Late at night, below the first area near the central dogma area, the red light at the entrance flashes once a second, a sign that the security system is functioning properly.

The overlapping footsteps in the distance came closer, like the sounds of two people with the same heartbeat. Sensing the approach of an outsider, the red light at the entrance began to flash at an increased frequency. As the footsteps approached, the sound became louder and louder. The higher the value, the security system cannot identify the person from the footsteps, and the risk index gradually increases and approaches the alarm threshold.

Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami came here together. MAGI's security system can identify Rei Ayanami's identity, but it cannot determine the identity of Shinji Ikari.As Shinji Ikari came to the door, the security system automatically ignored the eye mask, voiceprint and fingerprint recognition, and only used a black card to swipe through the card slot.

The moment the black card was crossed, the warning value plummeted, the infrared laser scanner was powered off, hundreds of cameras were powered off, and the security system's warning light turned green.At this moment, MAGI opened its arms to him, and there was no obstacle on the road ahead.

"This is just an identity card." Ayanami Rei pointed out the black card in Shinji Ikari's hand, "and it's still an old version."

"Maybe it's a backward version, but as long as it works." Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows at Ayanami Rei, with a tone of coaxing a child. "You don't want to know what's behind?"

"It is a central dogma. Your authority does not allow you to set foot in it." Ayanami Rei began to be wary, looking at Shinji Ikari in front of her, as if she was weighing whether she could subdue him on the spot, "You are violating the dogma and laws. .”

"But MAGI didn't stop me." Shinji Ikari was not in a hurry to step into it, but looked at Ayanami Rei with a smile, who seemed to be trying to attack him, "First of all, you have to figure out, do you belong to someone? You Whose order are you following?”

"Who do I belong to? Whose orders do I obey?" Ayanami Rei's eyes widened.

"Yes, is it Ikari Yuantang, the commander-in-chief of NERV in name only, or are you loyal to NERV as a whole?"

"NERV." Ayanami Rei answered without thinking.

"Then you have also seen that MAGI did not stop me. In other words, the three sages as housekeepers may think that my identity can set foot in it." He walked up to Ayanami Rei, because he was slightly taller than Ayanami Rei. head, so he leaned slightly closer to her ear, as if teasing a little girl: "This also means that I am more qualified to be the master of this place than Ikari Yuantang. Give orders."

"I don't know, I can't judge." Ayanami Rei was a little confused, just like an emergency graduate who had just stepped into the society to find a job. She was suddenly asked by HR whether she loved her father or her mother, which made her a little at a loss.

"It's okay, let's keep moving forward, there will be something good to see next." Shinji Ikari stroked Ayanami Rei's head and said with a smile.

With a slight clicking sound, the nine metal doors leading to the central host were unlocked at the same time.

Ayanami Rei watched quietly, because she was not sure whether to stop it.The computer room where MAGI is housed is safer than a bank vault. The four walls are equipped with steel laminated and bullet-proof glass. There are even aerial cannons that have been improved by the development department buried inside the four walls. They will rain down on anyone who does not have permission. Bullets weighing tens of kilograms.But this third qualified person named Ikari Shinji came here so lightly, and nothing hindered him.

"Still the same, old friend." Shinji Ikari smiled.

After SEELE disconnected, this is the area that only Ikari Yuantang is allowed to visit now.In the huge space, millions of wires of various colors are entangled with each other and go in different directions. The four walls are covered with huge old computers. Ancient transistors shimmer in the dark, tape-type computers. The memory rotates and makes a clicking sound.

This was the first time for Ayanami Rei to come here. She didn't know what to do and could only look at Ikari Shinji.

"You can find a place to play for a while while I do something first." Shinji Ikari waved his hand.Then he came to the console and tapped the keyboard casually.

"Are you modifying MAGI's underlying command library?" Rei Ayanami did not leave, but walked to Shinji Ikari's side.

"Yeah, you don't need to come over. It's too hot here. You go aside and play first."

It's not a question of whether to play or not. Ayanami Rei's expression was serious. As Shinji Ikari typed on the keyboard gracefully, green codes flashed by quickly. The young man's face under the screen light was confident and elegant.

But the problem is that if you modify the underlying command library in front of me, shouldn't you hide it from others before doing bad things?Is it really okay for me to follow and witness your criminal process in such an open and aboveboard manner?

But while Ayanami Rei was still thinking, Shinji Ikari had already hit the enter key.Then he took out the strange black identity card again and gently put it into the card slot at the bottom.After a few seconds, the interface refreshed, and he had become the MAGI master of this world again.

"Okay, let's go back." Shinji Ikari clapped his hands as casually as if he was changing a light bulb.
