I participated in the development of EVA

There is definitely such a plan, but...

There is some truth to this statement as well.

"Thank you very much."

The American consul looked worried at this moment.

"You know what? I really envy you. If I had your ability back then, she wouldn't have lost her life."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't tell whether it was true or not, was he really moved by the scene or was he just pretending.

This made him realize something more clearly.

I am far inferior to these old foxes in playing tricks and schemes. Even if they suffer from Alzheimer's disease, they can easily defeat me with their remaining physical instincts.

Before he could speak, the American consul spoke again.

"You are too happy too early. This warning is enough to prevent those people and forces from taking extreme measures to remove the obstacles. Even if she can appear in the future, she will definitely not be by your side. It only takes a misunderstanding and some pressure for her to take the initiative to break up with you and leave you."

Fumihiko Ikari really couldn't understand why it was so difficult for him to just have a normal relationship.

"why?"

The American consul misunderstood the meaning and started to explain.

"Besides those people and forces wanting to use this to control you, there is another reason."

"what reason?"

"Your girlfriend's grandfather has an official background in Japan. If you have read history, you should know that this country has always been controlled by a group of people who are addicted to gambling. No... this island is too small to support the ambitions of those people. Don't say that her grandfather is her grandfather and has nothing to do with her. In the eyes of many people and forces, this possibility is unacceptable."

17:49:55

396.Storm

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything. This time it wasn't because he didn't want to speak, but because he fell silent.

"..."

"Not only her, when you are in the center of the storm, you will truly realize why the storm is called a storm. You and I are both ants in it, but you are stronger than me and have the strength to struggle in the storm."

The American consul's words were rather abstract, but Fumihiko Ikari still understood their meaning.

After entering the United Nations, he is equivalent to being in the center of the storm, and the howling wind around him represents the global forces. He can use warnings to make these forces restrain themselves and save Ibuki Huimi's life, but he cannot make everyone completely give up this idea. Can Ibuki Huimi withstand the pressure from the whole world?

It is no longer a question of whether or not, but how to do it.

That's the whole world watching.

Just thinking about it is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

He stared at the American Consul.

The American consul also stared at him.

After staring at each other for a long time, he still couldn't find a solution to the problem, nor could he figure out what the American consul wanted to do by saying these things.

Force the other party to reveal their purpose?

The other party had already shown that he was not afraid of death, so even if he told the truth, he would not be able to tell it from the false.

He sighed.

"You succeeded, tell me what I can do to put an end to this."

The American consul shook his head.

"I'm only saying this to remind you. I'm not calculating anything. Doing so would be too risky..."

"No nonsense."

Facing Ikari Fumihiko's angry rebuke, the American consul's expression remained unchanged and he uttered a word calmly.

"As long as the weakness is not a weakness, the problem will be solved naturally. You have to give all forces a chance."

This couldn't be more obvious.

If loyalty becomes a weakness, then eliminate it.

"You want me to betray Emi?"

"If you don't want her to be involved in this storm, then take the initiative to cut off contact with her, but this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

"Even if we separate? Why?"

"When the storm comes, all your past information will be displayed in front of those people's eyes. We consuls will set up an intelligence analysis department specifically for you, just like we did before, to analyze your heart through the past and find a breakthrough. You just broke up with her but didn't start a new relationship, which means she is still in your heart. Those people will definitely find a way to cut off this connection."

"Can't I just realize my mission, cut off my emotions, give up love, and devote myself to the great cause of saving all mankind?"

"People's words will be verified by past history. There is almost no connection between your current girlfriend and your ex-girlfriend, and all your actions are proving your inner desire."

Ikari Fumihiko was speechless.

"..."

"You only have one choice now, sway in the storm."

After a moment, he raised his head.

"What if I choose to fight the storm?"

The American consul shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Fumihiko Ikari.

"You can muster the courage to go against the world, but what about her? Even if she can do the same, if the other party persuades her emotionally and logically, saying that she can't give you any support by your side, or even that she has become a burden that hinders your progress, what choice will she make? Of course, this is just an overview. The joint calculations of so many people will only make her feel these things silently.

Apart from the person who planned all this, no one can find any trace.

Do you know the butterfly effect? ​​It's the hypothesis that when a butterfly flaps its wings somewhere, it creates a storm somewhere else.

That’s probably how those people arranged it, achieving their goals through a complex chain reaction.”

At this moment, he felt that countless pairs of eyes were watching his every move, and his scalp suddenly felt tingling.

"..."

"Not only her, but you too. For example, if I tell you now that Huimei is actually a pawn planted by our board of directors next to you, what would you think?"

"impossible……"

"How is it impossible? She agreed to it to protect her grandfather. Professor Akagi, who has lost his value, is her only living relative. She has been deceiving you before. In fact, she has always had a good relationship with her grandfather. How about this set of rhetoric is reasonable and hard to tell whether it is true or false? Even if you don't believe it, it is enough to plant the seeds of doubt in your heart."

"..."

He still couldn't argue.

Just as the American consul said, he couldn't tell whether this statement was true or false.

Although I didn't doubt it, the seed was definitely planted in my heart.

"This situation is like a mountain climbing competition where the higher you climb, the more attention you attract."

"enough!"

This time, Fumihiko Ikari's angry rebuke made the American consul stop.

"..."

No more words.

Ikari Fumihiko had no intention of staying here, so he turned around and walked out without saying a word.

He was completely defeated in this confrontation.

Even the truth of what the American consul said is unclear.

After he left, the secretary looked at the American consul who was soaked in LCL liquid.

Although there was no verbal communication, the tacit understanding developed over the years enabled them to know what the other person wanted to express even without speaking.

[Isn't it too risky for you to anger him like this? ]

The American consul remained indifferent, obviously making a point.

【fine. 】

The secretary was still a little uneasy, as he just wanted to know more, which was not something that could be understood by tacit understanding. However, there were surveillance devices everywhere, and once they started talking, everything would most likely fall into the ears of Fumihiko Ikari. It was not that the top management already knew that the Three Sages System had invaded the surveillance system, but that the Three Sages System could do such a thing, so they naturally had to make corresponding preparations.

Director Fumihiko Ikari met with Ibuki Megumi in his office.

With just one glance, she sensed the gloom in Ikari Fumihiko's heart.

"What happened?"

Ikari Fumihiko uttered the three words almost out of habit.

"nothing."

Seeing that Ibuki Huimi frowned, he quickly added.

"I just miss you."

Ibuki Huimi showed her strength.

"to be honest."

Perhaps influenced by the American consul, Ikari Fumihiko said this almost subconsciously.

"The wind and waves are so strong that I feel like I can't handle it anymore."

"speak English."

"After the showdown between the organization and the United Nations, there will inevitably be undercurrents. I am a little worried that I won't be able to handle it."

Ibuki Huimei hesitated for a moment before speaking out her thoughts, "In fact, I have been thinking about this matter since yesterday. After thinking for a long time, I feel that your worries are actually a bit unnecessary. The top leaders must have some evidence that can prove that there are indeed other apostles on Earth before they take this step.

As long as this threat exists, no one will let anything happen to you."

17:50:12

397. Do the whole act

Ikari Fumihiko was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"how about you?"

"I?"

Ibuki Emi was stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused.

"What does this have to do with me?"

After thinking for a while, he did not explain, but instead called up the content of his previous conversation with the American consul.

What happened to the two sisters before made Ibuki Emi frown.

"Why do I feel like he's trying to trick you?"

"I guess so. This is just a prelude to the conversation later."

After reading the subsequent content, she didn't react much, just smiled and praised.

"This sentence 'A future without Huimei will not be the future of mankind' deserves praise. I am very happy to hear it."

It seemed that she had anticipated this situation. Ikari Fumihiko immediately asked her if the fact that she could still laugh meant that she had realized this in advance and had a way to deal with it.

"Do you have a solution?"

"No."

Ibuki Huimi answered straightforwardly.

"Then how can you still smile? Aren't you worried at all?"

"What's the use of worrying? Can it help you and me escape the storm?"

Fumihiko Ikari slumped weakly on the sofa and raised his head after a while.

"Let's run away."

"Can you escape?"

"The world is so big..."

"No, you are different from me. You are carrying the fate of all mankind on your shoulders. I don't want to be the woman nailed to the pillar of shame in history."
