I participated in the development of EVA

She was just a beat slow before she blocked the bathroom door with her body, covering up the graceful silhouette reflected by the door.

Ikari Fumihiko widened his eyes and was stunned for just a moment before he understood what had happened.

"You're really here..."

Ikari Yui's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She opened her mouth to defend her innocence, but she didn't understand what was going on.

I didn't think about those things at all, why did it turn out like this?

After a moment of stunned silence, she reacted.

My inner world was influenced by Ikari Fumihiko...

wrong!

It was he himself who was invaded by Fumihiko Ikari's perverted thoughts.

"It's you!"

Thinking of this, she hurriedly collected her thoughts, and the embarrassing scene before her immediately disappeared.

Ikari Fumihiko was about to say something when the scene around him changed again.

The two appeared in a huge hole. Not far away, a terrifying humanoid creature with a milky white body was nailed to a huge cross.

It only took one glance to recognize the origin of this huge creature.

The second apostle Lilith.

Unlike the Lilith in the original book who only had half of her body left, the Lilith in front of him remained intact.

Ikari Yui calmed down her emotions before speaking to confirm this.

"This is the second apostle. We call her Lilith. I think you can understand me."

Suddenly seeing the second apostle Lilith, Fumihiko Ikari stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Since He is the second apostle, does that mean there is also a first apostle?"

"Yes, the First Apostle was the culprit who triggered the Second Impact. According to our investigation, the Second Apostle is the ancestor of our human race."

Listening to what Ikari Yui said, Ikari Fumihiko wanted to ask how she came to this conclusion.

but!

At this moment, a flash of inspiration exploded in my mind.

Ever since he traveled through time, he had always felt that he had overlooked something important, and he suddenly realized it after seeing the second apostle Lilith.

Where did the Dead Sea Scrolls, which run through the original work like a script, come from?

wrong!

Precisely--

Who wrote the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls?

How did the writer know those things?

He looked up at the second apostle Lilith who was nailed to the cross and seemed powerless to resist.

Ikari Yui didn't notice anything unusual, but she felt that Ikari Fumihiko was shocked by this information.

"How is it? Are you shocked? This is actually the origin of human beings."

Ikari Fumihiko replied absentmindedly.

"really……"

In his heart, he was wondering whether the second apostle Lilith was standing behind the scenes and secretly controlling everything.

When he read the original novel before traveling through time, he had never thought about this problem, nor did he pay attention to this point. He just regarded it as a setting to go on with the story.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is very high.

of course……

It is also possible that the Dead Sea Scrolls were just the delusion of the ancients and everything was just a coincidence, but he felt that this possibility was very small.

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Uh--"

Ikari Yui looked at Ikari Fumihiko suspiciously.

"I admit that this news is indeed shocking, but you don't have to be shocked for so long, right?"

Ikari Fumihiko responded perfunctorily.

"This inside story is somewhat subversive."

Without giving Ikari Yui a chance to ask further questions, he changed the subject.

"Eva was cultivated from His flesh and blood, right?"

"Yes, not only EVA, but even the EVA genes in Rei Ayanami also come from Him."

Ikari Yui naturally knew that Ikari Fumihiko was deliberately changing the subject, but she had no intention of continuing to ask, because she could no longer maintain this inner world and her consciousness was about to fall asleep. She was not sure whether she could wake up after falling asleep, so she suppressed her curiosity and got straight to business.

"The top leaders have a plan called the Human Completion Project..."

Perhaps she felt that a detailed explanation was too complicated, so she paused and organized her words.

"Well, to put it simply, the plan is that after EVA destroys the apostles, or if EVA is unable to defeat the enemy, the top leaders will actively trigger the Third Impact and sacrifice all of humanity to the second apostle Lilith. You can understand the completion in this plan as us humans dispersing the power of the second apostle Lilith."

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment.

Isn't completion about completing humanity? How did it become completing the second apostle Lilith?

Uh--

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

The first apostle Adam gave birth to the other apostles in order to be able to merge with each other and enhance their strength in the future. It is not surprising that the second apostle would do the same thing. It’s just that their evolutionary paths are different. However, it is obvious that the second apostle, who possesses wisdom, is obviously eyeing the power of the first apostle.

Of course, it is also possible that the two were born with the destiny of devouring each other to supplement themselves.

271.Understand, but cannot agree

How could Lilith be sure that humans could develop EVA? If humans hadn't developed technology, wouldn't all these plans have come to nothing?

Uh--

Could it be that Lilith not only left behind the Dead Sea Scrolls, but also secretly guided the progress of human civilization?

Or does it not matter whether humans have developed technology or not?

To determine which guess is correct, Fumihiko Ikari has not read the entire Dead Sea Scrolls.

"If the former happens in the future, I hope you can prevent it from happening. If the latter happens... I can only say that this is our fate."

After listening to what Ikari Yui said, Ikari Fumihiko wanted to say something.

A thought suddenly popped into my mind.

Is the Ikari Yui in front of me really Ikari Yui? Or... who is Ikari Yui?

Was it really just a coincidence that she donated her own cells for the cloning experiment?

'Who are you? '

The question stuck in my throat.

Because he knew that asking would not get any answer, and it would only arouse the other party's suspicion. It was not worth taking the risk to get a guess without much evidence.

"You think too highly of me. If they really want to do something, I am powerless to stop them."

Ikari Yui gave Ikari Fumihiko a displeased look.

"Aren't you trying to split the top management? Well, no - to be more precise, you are trying to divide and rule."

Ikari Fumihiko naturally knew that Ikari Yui was talking about the immortality curse of the EVA pilots.

"I did all that because I was worried that the higher-ups would just abandon me after I had done what I did."

"No matter what you really think, some of the old guys in the upper echelons have already been tempted. I hope you can make use of this."

Ikari Fumihiko was worried that something might happen if he stayed any longer, so he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so naturally he would do whatever Ikari Yui said.

"it is good."

After a pause, he still asked.

"Are you really not going to leave?"

Ikari Yui just smiled and shook her head, saying something seemingly irrelevant.

"Gendou is rather clumsy and doesn't know how to take care of people. As his uncle, you need to pay more attention to him in the future."

From Ikari Fumihiko's tone, he could hear Ikari Yui's attachment to and reluctance to leave the world.

"Cousin, please—"

Ikari Fumihiko knew it was best to stop here, but he couldn't help it.

"uncertain……"

Ikari Yui shook her head.

"Even if I want to leave now, I can't leave completely. The best result is to leave one-third of it, or even less."

Fumihiko Ikari is really confused about this aspect.

Without waiting for him to ask, Ikari Yui continued to explain.

"How can I explain it to you? Well, let's use the theory of the three wise men you proposed. The scholar and mother part want to stay, and the woman part wants to leave. In simple terms, even if I want to leave now, the part that is willing to stay will stay, and only the part that wants to leave will leave... This part may be one third, one quarter, or even one tenth.

After leaving, you will either become a fool or a madman.

Of course, this is still the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is that this part disappears directly after separation."

Fumihiko Ikari thought of Asuka's mother in the original work.

After losing part of his soul, he went crazy and mistook a doll for his own daughter. He refused to acknowledge Asuka as his real daughter. Finally, he accidentally damaged the doll and thought he had killed his daughter, so he hanged himself in self-blame. That day happened to be the day when Asuka was "selected" for the driver's qualification.

I was lucky to see Professor Yamaki like this, as I only lost some of my memory.

"Shinji-chan, I'm counting on you."

As Ikari Yui finished speaking, Ikari Fumihiko felt dazed again, and when he came to his senses, he returned to the cockpit.

Sitting in the control seat, he breathed the LCL liquid hard.

"Team Leader Wen Yan? Team Leader Wen Yan!?"

Calls came from the headset.

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari had not responded, Naoko Akagi immediately cut the connection and ejected the plug.

As the gate opened, medical staff immediately surrounded us.

"I'm fine... I just feel a little..."

He lost consciousness before he could finish his words.

The crowd suddenly became agitated and immediately pushed Fumihiko Ikari into the independent emergency room of the Unit-01 project team.

After checking——

Seeing the doctor coming out of the ward, Naoko Akagi immediately asked about the situation.

"How about it?"

"It's just that he consumed too much energy and passed out."

Naoko Akagi breathed a sigh of relief, and Gendo Ikari asked a question.

"How long will it take for him to wake up?"

"I don't know."

"Is there any way to wake him up early?"

"Use the debugging potion."
