I participated in the development of EVA

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor and I won't take my patients' lives lightly."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

He had carried out this surprise inspection on his own whim, and due to his lack of experience, he had made such a big mistake, which had already alerted the enemy. He didn't know much about Dr. Ito, so all he could do for the time being was to trust in Dr. Ito's character.

In order to make his attitude clear, he added another sentence in a warning tone.

"It better be this way."

"I assure you that these problems will never occur."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded without comment, obviously not believing Dr. Ito's assurance.

After all, since he came here, he has participated in various scientific research projects, each one more radical than the other, so he is naturally more sensitive in this regard. And as mentioned earlier, these unconscious vegetative patients cannot protect themselves. Whether they can retain their human dignity depends entirely on the attitude of the decision makers.

As for whether harsher words would offend Dr. Ito?

He doesn't care at all.

Not using his rights on a daily basis does not mean that he does not have rights, nor does it mean that he has no idea about what rights he actually has.

"Let's stop here for today."

After saying this to Dr. Ito, he turned around and left the experimental area without waiting for the other party to reply.

Dr. Ito looked at his departing back without any change in expression.

Not to mention being warned a few times, even if she was scolded a few times, she would not take it to heart. Compared with the huge fame and fortune that the Hyacinth Project would gain after being made public, the unpleasantness she is experiencing now is nothing. All adults who have experienced the beatings of society know what to choose, not to mention that she is just doing normal research and has not taken any radical measures.

……

As soon as Ikari Fumihiko walked into the medical room, he saw Ibuki Megumi and Ayanami Rei standing in a daze.

The former was playing a small game on his mobile phone, while the latter kept his eyes on the food on the table.

Normally, Rei Ayanami would go into the medical cabin to rest as soon as she returned to the medical room. The amount of training in this day would be stressful for an adult, let alone a ten-year-old child. Even if she has the EVA gene in her body, the impact on her is very small, and most of her body functions are close to those of normal humans.

Now that I hadn't rested, I naturally heard Ikari Fumihiko asking Ibuki Megumi to prepare dinner, and I immediately felt no longer sleepy or tired.

Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly.

"Stop playing, let's eat this meal as a midnight snack together."

It's not that no one else comes in and out of the medical room. There are employees coming in and out from time to time. Therefore, Ibuki Huimi didn't pay attention to the fact that the door of the medical room was opened. It was not until Ikari Fumihiko spoke that Ibuki Huimi knew that Ikari Fumihiko was back. She put down her mobile phone immediately and didn't care what would happen to the game she was playing halfway. If she wasn't really bored, she wouldn't touch any game at all.

"I won't eat it. Eating midnight snacks will make you gain weight."

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to have a candlelight dinner to liven up the atmosphere, but when she saw Rei Ayanami drooling beside her, she finally gave up the idea and asked the cafeteria to prepare more food.

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what Ibuki Huimi was thinking, he just said it casually.

"It's okay to just have a couple of bites."

After hearing this, Ibuki Huimi could only eat a few bites with Ikari Fumihiko and Ayanami Rei.

Rei Ayanami didn't eat much, but she didn't waste a single bite of the Coke.

The three of them gathered together for a simple midnight snack. Only then did Ayanami Rei contentedly go to the locker room to change into her combat uniform and go into the medical cabin to rest, while the other two returned to Ikari Fumihiko's dormitory, which was closer to the medical room.

"She is really greedy."

Ibuki Huimei said this as soon as she walked out.

Fumihiko Ikari didn't know that Ibuki Megumi was just complaining casually because Ayanami Rei ruined his candlelight dinner, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The most important thing when people get along with each other is adjustment.

He responded along the lines of Ibuki Huimi's words.

"I am a bit greedy indeed."

He immediately changed the subject. He originally wanted to talk to Ibuki Huimi about the Hyacinth project and ask her what he could do to be safer. However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that they were still in the corridor and although there were no other people around, it would be awkward if they were caught by the internal employees of the Lingbo project team in the middle of the conversation.

He immediately changed his words.

"…Well, when we get back to the dormitory, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Ibuki Huimi nodded and swallowed the subsequent complaints back into her stomach.

I arrived at Fumihiko Ikari's dormitory in silence all the way.

She asked curiously as she entered the room.

"What do you want to say?"

Ikari Fumihiko did not hide anything and simply explained the problem he encountered. It was natural that Ibuki Huimei had more management experience than him when he asked about this matter, and there was no other choice. "Although I am the team leader of the Hyacinth Project, I don't know much about it. I don't know much about Dr. Ito either. I am a little worried that she will do some radical research. How can I avoid this from happening?"

Having said that, I would like to add one more sentence.

"It's not possible to say that those in a vegetative state cannot move. How they are treated depends entirely on the decision-makers' ideas."

Ibuki Huimi had more contact with Dr. Ito, so she thought for a moment before speaking.

"Dr. Ito is not a member of the radical faction, and his research has always been relatively conservative."

218. Planning

If others said this, Fumihiko Ikari would definitely not believe it, because each member of the Seele organization is more cunning than the other.

However, since these words came from Ibuki Huimi's mouth, I believed it half-heartedly. The remaining half of the suspicion was not directed at Ibuki Huimi, but at the fact that people's thoughts will change over time.

Of course, I couldn't say this thought out loud, so I just responded.

"Ah."

But after answering, he realized that he had made a mistake.

He glanced at Ibuki Huimi cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't react.

Ibuki Huimi could tell that Ikari Fumihiko had not let his guard down, but just didn't care about it. After all, this concerned the lives of many people, so it was normal to be cautious. Moreover, the two were talking about serious matters, not those private matters of family life. Naturally, they had to show their own attitudes, instead of just believing everything one person said.

"In terms of character, she is more credible. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she encountered something during this period that caused her to change her mind."

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to say anything, she continued to ask a question to find out the situation.

"Didn't you conduct a surprise inspection today and didn't find anything?"

"I was inexperienced and made a big mistake, which allowed the other party to detect my intention in advance. After that, I stayed in the office for more than ten hours to read the experimental records before I remembered to go to the scene to check the situation."

When saying this, Fumihiko Ikari felt a little embarrassed, feeling that what he had done today was a bit shameful, but he still said it in the end.

After all, this involves human lives.

Of course, Ibuki Huimi would not laugh at Ikari Fumihiko. Instead, she spoke up to comfort him.

"Actually, this is not an oversight. The experimental records are taken care of by civilian staff under the senior management, and they are recorded in the database in real time, so there will basically be no problems."

Although the following words were not spoken, Ikari Fumihiko knew what Ibuki Megumi wanted to say.

Only senior management has the authority to modify experimental records.

Fumihiko Ikari shook his head and said he was not sure whether the top management would intervene in this project.

Ibuki Huimi understood what he meant and lowered her head to think.

"Then there's no better solution. We've already alerted the enemy, so we can only wait for the impact of this incident to subside... Well, no, you can wait for a while and take the opportunity to pick up Rei Ayanami to conduct another surprise inspection. If you don't find any problems, then it's basically certain that there's nothing wrong with the project itself."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded. There was no good solution to this problem, so he naturally followed Ibuki Megumi's plan.

Afterwards, when I was tired and about to take a rest, I suddenly thought of something.

“The Hyacinth Project may be open to the public.”

"Ok?"

Ibuki Huimi responded unconsciously at first, and it took her a while to react.

"Isn't this project related to the neural connection device?"

She remembered that Fumihiko Ikari said this at noon.

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"The most important thing for the organization is EVA. No matter how high the technological content of the neural connection device is, it is just an accessory."

She also reacted when she heard this.

"Indeed, the exposure of this technology will not have any impact on EVA."

For the organization, as long as EVA is not discovered by the outside world, all other technologies can be used as pawns.

Thinking of this, she immediately asked a key question.

“Whose name will the technology be named under when it is released to the public?”

This is fame and fortune!

The future development prospects of neural connection devices will definitely be a great invention that can be recorded in history and have an impact for centuries.

Hearing this, Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment. Without Ibuki Huimi's reminder, he really hadn't paid attention to this aspect.

"It should be me, right?"

Realizing the fame and fortune behind the neural connection device, his heart became hot.

This is a chance to go down in history.

"Isn't it settled yet?"

"No, I only learned about this action from Dr. Ito because of an unexpected incident."

After the neural connection device was announced to the public, fame and fortune belonged to Ikari Fumihiko. As his girlfriend, she would definitely be able to share in the fame and fortune, so Ibuki Megumi naturally became serious.

"What accident?"

"I met a recovered patient and wanted to thank him. Dr. Ito was not there at the time. I asked her casually afterwards and she told me about it."

Fumihiko Ikari gave a vague explanation and concealed the fact that he had a physical examination.

Ibuki Huimi seemed to have thought of something and said something suddenly.

"Actually, Ikari Yui came to the project team to look for you today. Maybe she wanted to discuss this matter with you."

After saying this, he immediately added another sentence.

"Since the top management has released your information to the public, you should be the inventor."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded, feeling that things should be developing in this direction.

Just when I was about to say something, I noticed that Ibuki Huimi seemed to be writing something on my chest. I didn't see it the first time, and only knew what she wrote until the second time.

【Be careful, this may be a case of flattery. 】

Praise for killing?

I didn't react at first, but I reacted immediately.

After he was confirmed as the developer of the neural connection device, the human experiments he had previously conducted under the pressure of Professor Akagi became a piece of black material that could ruin his reputation.

This is a handle to win over and strengthen control, but this handle will not be used easily.

Because no matter how Seele deletes and modifies the information, in order to ensure the credibility of the evidence, it will inevitably be related to EVA.

wrong--

The high-rise layout shouldn’t be so superficial…wait!

Could it be that the top management is planning to make me a scapegoat in case of any unexpected incidents? ? ?

The more I think about it, the more possible it seems. The higher I praise it now, the higher the success rate of this arrangement will be.

Moreover, he has not met any of the senior executives until now, and the senior executives have no intention of meeting him. Everything is communicated to him through Ikari Yui. If the senior executives really try to escape in the future, he really won't be able to tell whether those senior executives who are pushed out are really the real ones. No... With the caution of the senior executives, at this stage, except for Ikari Yui, everyone else including Ikari Gendo may be kept in the dark.

In order not to worry Ibuki Huimi, he forced himself to calm down and responded.

"Ah."

Then the topic changed to what I was thinking about when I first mentioned this matter.

"Do you want to transfer there? You might be restricted to the research base and can't go out freely, but it would be relatively freer than now. Well, at least you can get more sun."

After saying this, he immediately felt a little regretful.

I didn't think about it carefully before, but now I notice one thing when I say this.
