I participated in the development of EVA

It was the American consul's secretary calling.

"explain."

"Captain Ikari, the Consul wants to meet with you."

"it is good."

Fumihiko Ikari was going to see what kind of sincerity the American consul would show for his secretary.

He stood up and walked out, and said something as he passed by Ritsuko Akagi.

"I have something to take care of. Remember to tell your mother later."

"Yes."

The Eternal Life Surgery Project Team is also on the second underground floor, not far from the Three Sages Project Team.

As soon as they met, the American consul spoke first.

"How about it?"

"How about what?"

"Of course it's the new representative, and it's not to your taste. This representative is not only highly educated and capable, but also a beauty. If I were a few decades younger, I would definitely be fascinated by her and have a few more illegitimate children. Oh, right! If I undergo a more comprehensive operation in the future, will there be a chance to have more illegitimate children?"

The other party is not in a hurry, so Fumihiko Ikari is even less anxious.

“Whether it’s replacing the body with the brain or improving artificial organs to a certain level, it can make you young again.”

"This is really something to look forward to. Even being pickled like a cucumber now feels a lot easier."

Now the American Consul is soaked in LCL liquid, and he really looks like a pickled cucumber.

Fumihiko Ikari sat down in front of the computer and checked the status of the American consul again.

"The surgery went a little better than expected."

"So, I can go out early?"

"Do you really think of yourself as a pickle?"

"Isn't this what pickled cucumbers are now? Come to think of it, I learned how to pickle cucumbers from my grandmother when I was young. Those days are really nostalgic."

"Oh."

Ikari Fumihiko responded and began to get a little impatient.

There is no way around it. The American consul talks too much nonsense, just like a mute who has learned to speak.

The main feature is the incessant talk.

"According to the current situation, you do have a chance to leave the medical bay a few days early."

"That's really good news, like..."

He really couldn't help it and interrupted the American consul who was about to start talking again.

"Okay, stop being like that... I really have no interest in the life trajectory of an old man."

Although he was not in a hurry, it didn't mean that he liked listening to such a nagging old man.

"Well, in that case, let's get down to business."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded to show that he was listening.

The American consul spoke with a serious expression.

"The consul who doesn't get along with me wants to use the honey trap to divide us and destroy our cooperation. Speaking of which, this Qiao Ben Saori is also a pitiful girl. She lost a lot of relatives in the second impact. Well, it seems that everyone is the same in this regard. Thinking about it this way, I feel that she is relatively lucky. Although her sister is in a coma and has become a vegetable, at least she still has relatives."

Without giving Ikari Fumihiko a chance to speak, he continued speaking.

"In order to save her sister, she was forced to get involved in this dispute. If you want to take her down, just beg for a place in Hyacinthus. You can unlock any posture you want. Her sister is her weak spot, but it's a little troublesome to get her sister out of the hands of the consul."

Use your pitiful life story to arouse my sympathy and make it easier for you to use your beauty trap?

Or……

On the surface, he is talking about the high-level representative Saori Jomoto, but in fact he is trying to create a transaction price?

"You called me here just for this?"

The American consul denied it quickly.

"of course not."

"Let's get down to business."

"Really? You're really not interested at all?"

The American consul opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief.

"I have seen photos of this Qiao Ben Saori. She is a stunning beauty. Well, her sister is equally stunning. It's just that she has been in a coma for two years and her figure is a little out of shape. But she has a good foundation and is young. After she wakes up and waits for a month or two to recover, she will also be a delicious meal. Well, it's also easy to deal with the sister. All we have to do is use the sister to threaten her.

If you want to eat with your sisters, it depends on your charm. Of course, you can also use some tricks. "

These words reminded Fumihiko Ikari of some of the plots in the books he had read before traveling through time, and made him feel itchy, but he would definitely not do such a thing.

"so what?"

"Don't you think these two sisters are pitiful? If you lend a helping hand, they will be in the hands of the German Consul. If they don't show their value, their lives will be miserable. Since he got too old and powerless, he has become a psychopath who likes humans and animals. In fact, the feud between us is related to his disgusting hobby."

At this moment, Fumihiko Ikari had to admit one thing.

He overestimated himself and underestimated the methods of these senior officials.

I'm not a saint, but I'm not a heartless person either.

Taking a deep breath, he could no longer maintain his composure.

"Don't you know? Using this method will only make me hate you."

The American consul looked calm.

"I am just stating a fact. The German consul who planned this honey trap is such a person. I have evidence to prove these words."

The secretary, who had been playing in the background, then pulled out a disk from her pocket.

Ikari Fumihiko did not go to pick it up, nor did he have any intention of looking at it. He did not know who the German Consul was, and there was no point in looking at the evidence.

“These things are meaningless.”

He understood that if he softened his heart because of the matter of Saori Hashimoto, he would be exposing his weakness, and this would become the way others would deal with him in the future.

As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two.

But he really couldn't bear to turn a blind eye to it. However, after being in trouble for a short while, he changed his mind.

If the other party is playing dirty, you can also play dirty. The initiative is in your hands, and you can just take the benefits without doing anything.

17:49:40

395. A Match Made in Heaven

The American consul's expression did not change.

"Indeed, it is meaningless. My credibility is not enough to convince you that he is the German Consul. This is just like what the outside world, the United States where I live, is doing now. It is using laundry to start a war with biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction, trying to regain control of Middle East oil and restore the new dollar to its position before the Second Shock."

After a pause, he looked at the disk in the secretary's hand.

"This thing I brought out is not the laundry detergent from the United States, but the real thing."

The American consul's nonsense made Ikari Fumihiko a little impatient.

"so what?"

"I'm telling you this simply because I think the lives of these two sisters shouldn't be ruined by that old pervert, and I have some personal grudges against him. But as a businessman, I won't do anything that has no benefits. Well, I'm telling you this not to exchange for any benefits, but to gain your favor."

"You really want to be friends with me, and not the other way around?"

He did not hide his displeasure at all.

The American consul remained calm.

"You're mistaken. This is not an additional condition, nor is it a bargaining chip. I just hope that while I'm making friends with you, you can see the true character of Consul De."

"..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, the American Consul continued, "I have ordered people to rescue Hashimoto Saori's sister from the German Consul. She is on the way and will arrive the day after tomorrow if nothing goes wrong. I have arranged everything. As for how to deal with these two people in the future, you can do whatever you want with them."

"..."

He still didn't say anything, but at this moment he realized what the American consul was doing.

It doesn't seem like he hopes to save his secretary's life, but more like he wants to better understand Saori Hashimoto's life experience and arouse his sympathy with her through her tragic life experience.

As for Saori Hashimoto’s background?

It must be true, because this is a naked conspiracy.

"Well, I didn't make any arrangements for the Hyacinth Project. I just revealed the news to Hashimoto Saori. You only need to give her a little hint to get everything from her. She will have realized it when she was assigned here. You can also make it more complicated and try to capture her heart. Of course, you can also do nothing."

"..."

He continued to look at the American consul without commenting, and did not say anything.

The American consul remained in high spirits.

"Well, I seem to be a bit long-winded. You may not believe it, but I was not like this before. I spoke very little. It was only after I was tortured by illness and had no strength to speak and was back to normal that I realized how happy it was to be able to communicate with people normally. That's why my personality changed drastically. If people who understand me know about this situation now, they will definitely doubt my identity."

He couldn't tell whether this was a disguise by the American consul.

"..."

"Please, I've said so much, at least you can respond."

"What did you say? You've got to say it all by yourself."

"Tell me what you're going to do."

"Not much. I'm not a playboy like you. I'm a loyal person and I won't use my status to mess around."

"Then you have to be careful."

His heart suddenly tightened.

"What are you careful about?"

"The more devoted you are, the more it makes others feel that someone is blocking the way."

"Are you threatening me?"

The American consul remained calm and explained slowly and calmly.

"My life is in your hands. How could I be so stupid as to do such a thing? I'm just reminding you."

Is this a gamble?

Or is it really a reminder?

He really couldn't figure out the true intentions of the American consul. At the same time, he became anxious because of the news and he almost couldn't maintain his passive expression.

"Are you saying that the top management will exclude Huimei as a roadblock?"

"To be precise, it's not just the top leaders. When you are in the center of the storm, all the forces in the world that have the ability to intervene will have the same idea. Well, this is what is called being well-matched. Of course, I'm not referring to financial resources and status, but the talent you have shown has reached a level that is unattainable for her."

"I……"

"You are in a position where you can decide many things, but you can also lose a lot. By the way, I really like your statement that if you lose your humanity, you lose a lot, but if you lose your animality, you lose everything."

The American consul paused and then continued speaking.

"I also had a woman I loved deeply when I was young, but I didn't have the ability like you to end her life on her sixteenth birthday."

Faced with this situation, he didn't know what to do and could only give a warning.

"A future without Emi won't be the future of humanity."

"It's useless for you to tell me this. My life still depends on you. I will definitely not do such a thankless thing. Of course, I will not remain indifferent. If I do, you will definitely be angry. However, my ability is limited and I can't control everything. All I can do is help you convey these words to everyone and every force who may have such thoughts."

Although Ikari Fumihiko is angry now, his thinking is not affected. Instead, he is calmer than before.

The first thought that flashed through my mind was:

Is he creating a crisis out of thin air to demonstrate his value and deepen the partnership between the two?
