I participated in the development of EVA

As soon as I walked in, I noticed an out-of-place figure who looked like a high school student.

This is--

Is Akagi Ritsuko the daughter of Akagi Naoko in the original work?

014. Is this your daughter?

Is this the secondary zone?

How could Akagi Ritsuko get in? Uh...isn't Ikari Shinji also in the second-level area?

Privileges never go away.

wrong!

These are not the main points! The main point is what benefits can be brought by this encounter.

Uh……

She's just a high school girl, and seems to have no other benefits except for her body.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment he shook his head to suppress this dangerous idea.

Only a few people know about the human completion plan formulated by Seele, and the original owner should not be among them. In other words, Seele's protection level for me will not be too high. I should have the opportunity to leave the base and move around in the outside world in the future. Even if I can't leave, I can get on good terms with Ritsuko Akagi and get in touch with Ryoji Kaji, the future double agent.

If the Human Completion Plan is leaked, no matter how terrifying the Seele forces are, they will not be able to withstand the opposition from the whole world.

Theoretically, there would be no danger as long as one's whereabouts were kept secret.

It's just that he has neither the confidence nor the courage to gamble.

This is about your own life.

Moreover, once the plan succeeds, the future will become complicated and confusing. Even whether humans can defeat the apostles will become an unknown, because the leakage of the plan will inevitably lead to internal strife among humans. The EVAs who fight against the apostles will be the first to be involved in the internal war among humans, further leading to the decline of the world's population. Even without the apostles' attack, human civilization may end...

wrong!

I have considered too few factors. Once the Human Completion Plan is announced, most people will resist it, except for a small number of lunatics and brainwashed fanatics.

Even if Seele does not collapse directly, its power will at least be seriously damaged.

That's probably it, right?

After much hesitation, I still don't have the courage to take this step.

Ritsuko Akagi left in a hurry and realized she didn't bring her meal card when she arrived at the cafeteria. She was hesitating whether to go back to get her meal card or wait for her mother to come over when she noticed a strange man staring at her. This man was neither handsome nor ordinary... No! The point now is not his appearance! The main thing is why this man was staring at her.

More mature women would simply not react if they were stared at like this without any other action.

After all, when you enter society, you will meet all kinds of people, and you will become immune to them as you experience more.

As a high school student, Ritsuko Akagi had never had such an experience. She was immediately embarrassed by being looked at. When she was at a loss as to what to do, she found her mother Naoko Akagi walking in from outside the door.

Just as I was about to walk over to seek support, I found that my mother had walked up to that strange man.

"Team Leader Wen Yan, why are you staring at my daughter like that? Is there something wrong?"

Ikari Fumihiko was embarrassed inside, but on the surface he showed no signs of weakness.

Facial paralysis.

This is one of the benefits of his time traveling.

"It turns out that this person is Dr. Akagi's daughter."

"what happened?"

"I was just wondering why Dr. Akagi suddenly dyed his hair blonde, and I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"Yeah--"

Naoko Akagi responded without comment, but it was obvious that she did not believe what Fumihiko Ikari said.

Without further questioning, he stood up and walked to his daughter.

"Mother……"

"This person is Fumihiko Ikari, a doctor of bioengineering and the temporary leader of Group 1."

"He is... that Dr. Fumihiko?"

"Yes, try not to have any contact with this person in the future."

"Ah."

After packing lunch, the two sat at the corner table.

"This person is somewhat dangerous."

"Danger?"

Ritsuko Akagi was a little surprised. The brief eye contact just now only made her feel that the other person was a little dull. Apart from that, she felt that this person was more like an ordinary person, not a scientist doing academic research. The only thing worth mentioning was that he was dressed neatly and did not look as sloppy as the others around him. He was also more energetic than the people around him.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with danger, but she also knows that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart.

"During the last meeting, he brought up a hypothesis that led the discussion to a dangerous direction."

The concept of adapters proposed by Fumihiko Ikari made the discussion in the later part of the meeting focus on two extremely dangerous directions: cloning and modified humans. Although it was other people who had been talking about it all the time and Fumihiko Ikari had remained silent, his attitude of not opposing research in such a dangerous field represented support. Therefore, Naoko Akagi felt that Fumihiko Ikari's ideas were rather dangerous.

She opposes both of these dangerous lines of research.

Of course, if the situation has developed to the point where it has to be done, she will no longer firmly oppose it.

"Dangerous direction?"

Ritsuko Akagi couldn't imagine what this dangerous direction specifically meant, and Naoko Akagi didn't explain it in detail.

"Anyway, just remember that this person is dangerous."

"Well, I will stay away from this person from now on."

Fumihiko Ikari withdrew his gaze from the mother and daughter who were communicating in the distance.

That’s almost it!

Don't you know how much you are worth? You don't have that ability at all... OK! That's enough - stop imagining... Isn't it better to just live an honest life?

What's wrong with life now?

Apart from the long working hours, the pressure of pretending to be a doctor, and not seeing the sun for more than a month, what else is bad? There are people to take care of every aspect of life, the meals are prepared by professional chefs, you can cook whatever you want to eat, eat it whenever you want, and if you need anything, you can basically just say a word. You don't have to face the danger of the collapse of the external order.

and--

As long as you don't cause trouble and everything goes according to the plot, there won't be any major changes in the future.

Just wait for autistic children to save the world.

Even though he reminded himself of this, he was still a little absent-minded. It was not until he was scalded by the egg soup while drinking the soup that he came to his senses and focused on eating. After finishing his meal, he looked around and found that Akagi and her daughter had disappeared. Only then did he suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind, got up from his seat and returned to the laboratory. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​slacking off and threw himself into work.

I had already disappeared for the whole morning, so it would be a bit unreasonable and a bit unfair to disappear again in the afternoon.

All right--

I'm worried that it will affect my plan to slack off tomorrow.

"How about it, do you know what to do?"

"I have just contacted Dr. Ibuki. According to her request, the program will be divided into five modules and assigned to five people to write together. If nothing goes wrong, it should be completed tomorrow afternoon."

Fumihiko Ikari now has a pretty good grasp of everything at work.

"We are not in such a rush. The mechanical transformation will take some time. We can complete the task the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Time passes slowly in the tedious work.

[Are you free for dinner? ]

[Sorry... there is another operation waiting, which will take at least three hours to complete. ]

[Nothing, take a rest.]

[Yeah——you too.]

The relationship was like someone slamming on the brakes, making Fumihiko Ikari somewhat uncomfortable, but the situation was like this, and there was nothing he could do except to endure and accept it.

It's better to have something than nothing.

After dinner, I was busy until 10 o'clock in the evening before I got off work. As soon as I walked out of the laboratory, I met Gendo Ikari.

015. You are just an employee, why do you work so hard when you don’t even get paid?

It was obvious that he was waiting for me.

"Find me?"

"Correct."

"what's up?"

I didn't want to have too much contact with Ikari Gendou, so every sentence I spoke was very brief.

"I agree with your idea. If humans want to control EVA's power, they must find the compatibility between the two."

"Well, so..."

I just kept talking, but in fact I already had the answer in my heart.

“Some sacrifices have to be made.”

As long as it’s not the sacrifice of someone I care about, I can sacrifice anyone else. This is the full text of what you want to say!

"..."

“Some things can be unknown, but they cannot not exist.”

"You want me to research synthetic pilot technology?"

“Scholars at the conference who are interested in this project and have the ability to participate are invited.”

No!

I didn't object at the time, but does that mean I agree? Silence doesn't just mean acquiescence, it also means abstention and distraction... OK! And... what on earth made you decide that I would agree to conduct such a dangerous experiment? I really don't want to participate in such a dangerous experiment that tramples on human nature.

And I don't have the technical skills to do this.

"The minister will not agree to that."

"We are just stockpiling this technology to provide an additional option and security in the future."

In Gendo Ikari's opinion, Fumihiko Ikari's R&D capabilities are not weak.

Do not……

To be precise, he is very strong, enough to be on par with top scholars.

Relying only on the design drawings left by Professor Ishida, this unproven concept machine that surpasses current technology was perfectly manufactured, and its actual use is even better than Professor Ameda's design.

"Constraint armor will solve the problem."

"EVA is not a creature that can be controlled so easily." After a pause, without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to reply, Ikari Gendō ended the conversation and turned away while saying, "I hope you can think about it carefully. If you want to join, you can contact me at any time. Remember that the efforts we are making now are...

For the continuation of civilization, for all mankind."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't tell how much of Ikari Gendō's words were true and how much were false.

After all, Ikari Yui hasn't disappeared yet.

Whether it is the new version or the old version, there is a setting that Ikari Gendō is deeply in love with Ikari Yui, but he is not sure whether he realized this love after Ikari Yui disappeared, or he has realized it now. If it is the former, it means that Ikari Gendō has ulterior motives and is a supporter of the human instrumentation project. If it is the latter, Ikari Gendō is an opponent of the human instrumentation project.

Looking at Ikari Gendo's receding back, Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

What are you thinking about...

Whether you support it or not, it has nothing to do with me.

Just remain vigilant.

When I arrived at Kana Fuyutsuki's dormitory, I found that she was already asleep. She exuded a pungent smell of disinfectant and she didn't take off her clothes. It was obvious that Kana Fuyutsuki was so tired that she forgot to pay attention to her image.
