I participated in the development of EVA

It is clear……

The measures he prepared did not isolate the phenomenon of parallel consciousness, and Rei Ayanami was always connected to the Ayanami network.

I suppressed the panic in my heart and continued to read the subsequent content.

The following records contain data about Naoko Akagi's analysis of the meaning of these brain waves.

I just had a brief understanding of it and didn't continue reading. Even if I wanted to read it, I couldn't understand it.

He had a premonition of this situation, but he was afraid to face it. Now that he was forced to know the answer, he smiled bitterly.

You are really my cousin——

It was obvious that Ikari Yui asked him to come over just to understand the situation.

Although Ritsuko Akagi did not lean over to peek at the screen, she kept observing Fumihiko Ikari. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to disturb Fumihiko Ikari from his work.

It was not until Ikari Fumihiko laughed bitterly that she could not help but express her concern.

"what happened?"

Ikari Fumihiko replied without even thinking.

"I'm having some technical difficulties and need to talk to your mother."

Then, without waiting for Ritsuko Akagi to say anything, he turned off the computer, stood up and walked out in a daze.

Naoko Akagi sat in front of the computer with a sad face, as if she had encountered some difficulties.

His expression was extremely focused, and he didn't even react when Fumihiko Ikari approached him.

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

Akagi Naoko didn't raise her head until Ikari Fumihiko spoke. She didn't think much about it at first, but now she had some guesses about Ikari Fumihiko's arrival. After all, she had spent nearly half a year building up the information of the Three Sages System bit by bit. She naturally knew how complicated the technical information was. No matter how powerful Ikari Fumihiko was, it would take at least a few days for him to see all the information.

She didn't want to think about anything other than scientific research, so without thinking about anything, she followed Ikari Fumihiko into the small conference room next to the office.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment, but still briefly explained the situation.

"She should have connected to the Lingbo network and learned the identity of her clone."

Naoko Akagi didn't care and simply asked back.

"so what?"

Fumihiko Ikari really doesn't know who to discuss this matter with, and turning to Naoko Akagi is just a desperate move.

“I’m a little bit unsure of how to handle this matter.”

Naoko Akagi looked at Fumihiko Ikari and knew that he would not leave unless she gave him some advice, so she started to think helplessly.

"Is she behaving in any way that's out of the ordinary?"

She was only interested in the parallel consciousness phenomenon that appeared in Rei Ayanami, and didn't care about Rei Ayanami, or even pay much attention to her.

"No."

"Then what's troubling you?"

"Her mental health."

"You can't solve this kind of thing, and I don't understand it. You should consult a professional."

"Psychologist?"

"Yes, although those psychiatrists themselves are a little mentally unstable, the advice they give is very professional."

148. Everyone has their own problems

This suggestion sounded good when he first heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, Fumihiko Ikari felt that this suggestion was useless.

Psychologists are really helpful. The top management has already given a solution.

Ritsuko Akagi saw that Fumihiko Ikari was not satisfied with this answer, and added something with some annoyance.

"Although her current situation is somewhat special, she is still a child after all. She won't understand if you tell her too much. We can solve it when the time is right."

"When is the right time?"

"A little bigger."

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak, Akagi Naoko spoke again.

"well--

Outsiders can't help at all with this kind of thing. It all depends on what she thinks. All you can do is give her a helping hand at the critical moment. Messing around will only make things more complicated. You are not her, and it is impossible for you to fully understand her. Your current worries are just conclusions you have imagined. Have you ever thought that she doesn't actually care about her identity as a clone?

And just like what Ikari Yui said during the last experiment, you have to learn to let go.

Children do need company, but they ultimately have to rely on their own strength to grow up.

So my advice is to keep it as it is.

When she opens up to you, understand the specific situation and then think about the solution. "

After hearing what Akagi Naoko said, Ikari Fumihiko felt a lot less anxious.

Yes--

The fear in Li's heart was all a conclusion she had imagined.

This is not necessarily the case.

But he was still a little worried.

"so……"

Before he could finish his words, Naoko Akagi interrupted him.

"Children are not as fragile as you think."

As a mother, she could understand Fumihiko Ikari's current situation to some extent. She had also experienced a similar situation when Naoko Akagi was just born, but it was not as exaggerated as Fumihiko Ikari's.

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko wanted to say something, she spoke first.

"This matter is really not that complicated. What you have to do now, and the only thing you can do, is to stay with her well."

Ikari Fumihiko recalled his childhood thoughts and suddenly came to his senses.

When he was a child, the thing he longed for most was simply to have his parents present at the parent-teacher meeting, even if it was only once. That was why he hated going to school, because there were too many things there that he longed for. Especially when others were accompanied by their parents to and from school every day, he was very envious, even jealous, so he ran away from there.

I took a deep breath and suppressed the memories that I still didn't want to face.

"Thank you, I know what to do now."

"Forget about the thanks. If you really want to thank me, just spare some time and help me complete the Three Sages System."

Naoko Akagi knew that Fumihiko Ikari was not good at this kind of research, but Fumihiko Ikari was always able to come up with eye-opening proposals.

For example, woman, mother, scholar, this unexpected system architecture.

What she needs now is not professional knowledge but research direction.

Fumihiko Ikari originally wanted to get rid of the research, but when he thought about the fact that this research was related to the parallel connection of consciousness, he decided to pay more attention to it in the future.

“I will put more energy into this area later.”

Naoko Akagi nodded, stood up and was about to leave the meeting room when she suddenly stopped.

"I've been too busy lately, and Ritsuko is having a hard time following her studies. If you're free, come and teach her."

As a mother, she is indeed somewhat incompetent, but this does not mean that she really ignores her daughter, Ritsuko Akagi. She still pays some attention to her on weekdays. As an experienced person, she naturally sees that her daughter has a good impression of Fumihiko Ikari. She has no opinion on this. After all, the age difference between the two is not that big, and in her opinion, Fumihiko Ikari does not have any big problems except that he is a little immature.

As for Fuyutsuki Kana?

She doesn't pay much attention to her daughter, let alone things that affect Fumihiko Ikari's privacy.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

"Isn't she number one in her grade at school? Wait! Isn't she number one from the bottom?"

“It’s not that exaggerated, but it’s not ranked high.”

Although Naoko Akagi was a little slow to react, she still reacted and spoke up to protect her daughter's image. "She has been planning her own studies for the past three years. You know my situation. I don't have time to take care of these things, and I'm not good at them. Considering her age, it's already a great achievement for her to be able to achieve such results now."

Fumihiko Ikari knew a little about Ritsuko Akagi's situation.

"You should say this to her face. She will definitely be very happy to hear it."

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"Too much praise will only make her complacent. Her current situation is not suitable for praise."

Her attitude towards Ritsuko Akagi is very complicated. She hopes that she can be more like her husband, but she also doesn't want to see more of her husband in her daughter.

After just a moment's hesitation, Fumihiko Ikari was still ready to say a few words on behalf of Ritsuko Akagi.

Because he saw some of his childhood shadows in the other person.

"She studies so hard and self-disciplined, not because she likes studying so much, but because she just wants to get a compliment from you."

Without waiting for Akagi Naoko to refute, he continued speaking.

"Let's not talk about compliments. Think about it carefully. How long has it been since you encouraged her?"

Naoko Akagi subconsciously recalled that she had not praised her daughter since her husband's death.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Fumihiko Ikari continued speaking.

"Education should indeed be stricter, but you can't just suppress her. You should at least give her some encouragement after she has made efforts."

Naoko Akagi was confused. She felt that what Fumihiko Ikari said made sense, but she didn't know how to do it.

"You can do it for me."

"She does need encouragement, but she doesn't need encouragement from outsiders, but encouragement from her family, which is the greatest affirmation of her efforts."

Naoko Akagi just didn't know how to face her daughter, but it didn't mean she didn't love her at all.

After a moment, he nodded with some difficulty.

"I understand. Next time I have the chance, I will say some encouraging words to her."

After all, this is a family affair between Akagi and her daughter, and as an outsider, Fumihiko Ikari can only do this.

After thinking for a while, he brought the topic back to Ritsuko Akagi's studies.

"I don't have much time usually. If she doesn't understand anything, she can come to Unit Zero to find me."

The reason for making this suggestion was not because he cared about Ritsuko Akagi's studies, but because he wanted her to get to know Rei Ayanami and expand their social circle.

Although Naoko Akagi agreed just now, she still avoided the question a bit.

"Just tell her about this."

Fumihiko Ikari did not give Naoko Akagi this opportunity.

"I have some things to deal with in the project team."

Naoko Akagi nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, wait...I'll tell her about this."

149. You know how to comfort people

When he returned to Unit 0 and saw Rei Ayanami doing sit-ups while operating Unit 0, Fumihiko Ikari recalled the plot of the original movie.

It's normal to care about the fact that your emotions are edited, but Ayanami Rei doesn't care about that.

What you think may not represent Rei Ayanami's true thoughts.

And Rei Ayanami is stronger than him.

Just as Naoko Akagi said, what she has to do is to do the same as Shinji Ikari in the original work and tell the other person when he is confused.

Ayanami Rei is Ayanami Rei.

When the other person lacks a sense of security, tell him/her the same thing that Rei Ayanami told you before.
