I participated in the development of EVA

What is this? The opponent just made a normal attack and I used my flash?

Still not mature enough.

Uh……

I shouldn't be looked down upon because of this, after all, life and death are in my hands.

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

It's better to be careful... We can't rule out the possibility that this American consul is a pawn set up by the top leaders to paralyze themselves and be placed next to them.

As for using one's own life as bait?

Ordinary people don’t have such courage. Can these high-level officials who want to sacrifice all of humanity be ordinary people?

To call them crazy is a compliment to this group of people.

Thinking so, he looked at the screen.

The haggard figure in the medical room.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he couldn't help but praise the other person in his heart again.

As expected of someone who can accomplish great things, this kind of mentality is really hard for ordinary people to match. If it were an ordinary person, no matter how many times they have experienced such a life-and-death terror, they would have long been unable to bear it and put out more chips, but the other party was eager but still did not put out the biggest chip, the Human Completion Plan, and did not even increase the chips further.

After looking for a while, he felt bored and looked away. Now there was nothing for him to deal with in the eternal life surgery, so he just needed to stay in the command room.

Waiting for several hours was really boring, so he started to think seriously about virtual games.

I spent over an hour mulling over this in my head...

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he stood up abruptly from his seat.

"Captain Ikari, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

The secretary, who had returned at some point, immediately began to ask nervously.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"fine."

Although the secretary was puzzled, he did not ask.

If Ikari Fumihiko didn't want to talk, he wouldn't be able to get any information out of him. He just kept thinking in his mind what could have made Ikari Fumihiko show such a scene. After thinking for a long time without any ideas, he had to give up.

At this time, a reporting voice came through the speakers.

"Report, Team 15 has completed the assembly work according to the design."

This was like a signal, and the other groups also reported their completion.

17:45:33

379. Playing is all about heartbeat

Ikari Fumihiko turned a deaf ear to these reports, his thoughts completely focused on the things that suddenly popped up in his mind.

In order to truly create a virtual game like the one in online game novels, in addition to the Three Sages system, the second apostle Lilith can also serve as the core of the virtual game.

Could it be that the top management has given up the plan of using mass-produced machines as a medium and is planning to complete the human completion plan through a virtual online game? ?

Just like the National Alchemy Array in Fullmetal Alchemy, each virtual device is the medium of the second apostle Lilith.

It turns out that this American consul is the bait used to paralyze me!

Damn, these old guys are really insidious——

As for whether virtual games can become a medium to launch human completion, or lower the conditions for launching the human completion plan?

He actually didn't know, but since he had already thought of it, he naturally had to be prepared.

to be honest……

He was disappointed.

When he came to this world, his greatest wish, besides having a home of his own, was to experience the virtual online games described in the novels of his previous life.

Now that the future of virtual online games has been cut off, how can he not feel sad?

"Director Ikari?"

The secretary called out to him countless times before he came back to his senses from his trance.

"what happened?"

"All teams completed their tasks half an hour ago. Do you think we can start the operation?"

The immortality surgery cannot be completed without the Three Sages System, and the control of the Three Sages System is in the hands of Fumihiko Ikari.

Ikari Fumihiko just responded calmly.

"Oh."

He did not open his mouth to explain why he lost his concentration earlier, and the secretary did not try to probe him either.

He called up the remote operation page of the Three Sages System on the main computer and operated it for a while, while explaining.

"Wait a moment. The device needs to be programmed."

The secretary's tone revealed impatience and lacked the previous compliments.

"how long?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't care.

"Soon, report back! Have the consul prepared for surgery."

The long and agonizing wait was finally over at this moment, and the secretary recovered from his gaffe.

"Can you tell me what preparations you need to make?"

"There's not much to prepare. The main thing is to adjust your mindset. Well, you can also lie down in the medical cabin first. The equipment does not need to be removed. The consul's current situation has been taken into account in the operation variables."

"Okay, I'll go over and pass the message to the consul."

After the secretary left, Fumihiko Ikari looked at the surveillance camera again.

Watching the American consul lying in the medical cabin, with a relieved smile on his face, he seemed to be looking forward to what his condition would be like after his life was extended. However, it didn't take long for the smile to freeze on his face, and then disappear little by little, because half an hour had passed and he still hadn't received any notice to start the operation.

Without any instruction from him, the secretary came to the command room.

"Not okay yet?"

Fumihiko Ikari is preparing to make a final attempt to see if he can break down the psychological defenses of the American consul.

So I responded perfunctorily.

"almost."

"How long will it take?"

He pointed to the data streams that were flashing across the screen like a waterfall. These data streams were meaningless and were only used for seating arrangement.

"The current network line is not good. It can only be this fast. If it is accelerated, it will easily cause the equipment to burn out."

The secretary knew that this was most likely Ikari Fumihiko's final act of extreme pressure before the operation, in an attempt to break down the consul's psychological defenses.

But even though he knew about this, Fumihiko Ikari's preparations left him speechless...

a.

The consul could not bear the pressure and compromised, or maybe Fumihiko Ikari felt that enough was enough.

At this moment, he thought of Ikari Fumihiko's previous distraction and loss of composure, and felt that the current pressure might be related to this. However, even if he thought about it, he couldn't guess what Ikari Fumihiko was thinking.

After waiting for another ten minutes, the phone rang again. Without even looking at it, I knew it was the consul calling.

Because this kind of phone rings almost every few minutes.

"The program hasn't been completed yet."

A few minutes later, the weak and old voice of the American consul came from the other end of the phone.

"……Give……"

I really don't have the energy to say more, so I can only keep it as brief as possible so that the secretary can understand.

When the secretary heard this word, he immediately understood and handed the phone to Ikari Fumihiko. He took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking.

"Captain Ikari, the Consul wishes to speak to you."

Ikari Fumihiko answered the phone.

Before he could open his mouth, the American consul spoke urgently.

"What... do you want..."

The voice was intermittent, as if it was made with all its strength.

Naturally, Fumihiko Ikari could not speak openly about the "Human Instrumentality Project", so he could only hear it from the American consul.

"Consul, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to delay the process. It's just that the program I needed to write was too large and the network line could only handle it at this speed."

"Save me...I'll do whatever you say..."

Still holding on?

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder whether the American consul really didn't know about the human completion plan.

wrong!

Is this consul a senior member of Seele?

"Don't be impatient. Data transmission takes time."

This time the consul said nothing.

The only sound on the other end of the phone was his breathing, with more exhalation than inhalation.

After waiting for another half an hour, the American consul still said nothing. It might be that he didn't have the energy to speak anymore, or it might be that he really regarded his life as a bargaining chip.

The secretary couldn't help it again.

"Not okay yet?"

Fumihiko Ikari really couldn't see through this American consul, and his thoughts were a little confused.

After pondering for a while, he felt that there was no point in continuing to exert pressure, and that the other party would still need his help in many ways after the operation was completed, so he decided to give up the pressure.

"Let me check the progress."

After tapping a few times on the keyboard and entering a command, a progress bar suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Ninety-eight percent of it has been written."

Although the progress bar is moving slowly, it is increasing little by little.

The secretary said nothing more, but just stared at the progress bar on the screen.

"How much?"

A female voice came from the phone, obviously coming from the nurses around the American consul.

Ikari Fumihiko replied patiently.

"98.6534%"

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the female nurse came again from the other side.

"Can you estimate how long it will take now?"

"According to the system calculation, the estimated completion time is nine minutes, but the actual situation may be faster."

The American leader was so anxious that the female nurse quickly spoke again at his signal.

"How much faster?"

Ikari Fumihiko did not show any impatience.

"do not know."

Just as he was thinking about whether he could get some unexpected gains by doing something unexpected, he heard a lost voice on the other end of the phone.

"The consul has fainted and needs to be resuscitated."

Then, through the surveillance footage, we saw private doctors and nurses begin to rescue the American consul.
