I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Fumihiko didn't want to take leave to cause trouble, he just wanted to take Ibuki Megumi, Ayanami Rei, and Asuka to the outside city to relax.

After a while, the Russian representative finally responded.

"Yes."

It is not up to them to decide when the handover will be completed.

Then, without giving Ikari Fumihiko the opportunity to ask when the handover would be completed and he could take leave, he continued speaking.

"Minister Ikari, could you take us to the immortality surgery project?"

"it is good."

The four of them left the meeting room and went to the Eternal Life Project Team on the second underground floor.

The unnamed sophisticated equipment in the operating room and the living people immersed in liquid made everyone's eyes become a little hot, because this is a research related to life expectancy.

"This person is the U.S. Consul, and also Patient Zero of this project team."

Before the other three could speak, the American consul spoke first.

"Congratulations, Director Ikari... Oh, no, I should call you Chief Ikari now."

Ikari Fumihiko emphasized again.

"He is one of Seele's top executives, the US Consul, and the project team's patient zero."

As he said this, his eyes fell on the American representative. This time, the three parties finally noticed Ikari Fumihiko's hint.

"The American Consul?"

Without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to reply, the American consul readily admitted his identity.

"Yes, I am the consul of the American branch of the Seele organization."

After a pause, he spoke again.

"You are researchers, so there is no need to worry about these things. It is better to leave the investigation of my identity and background to professionals! I think it would be better for you to talk more about technical matters. Well, it would be best to help Minister Ikari complete the follow-up research of this technology as soon as possible. This way, I can live longer and benefit the public at the same time."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't quite understand why the American consul could still act so confident in this situation.

The three representatives were silent for a moment, and then asked Ikari Fumihiko.

"Can we take a look at the relevant information?"

It was obvious that the words of the American consul successfully diverted the attention of the three representatives on the scene.

Fumihiko Ikari turned on the computer next to him and opened a page that showed the American consul's previous medical records and current physical diagnosis report.

"You can take your time to look at the specific information later. Just take a look at these first so you can have a general understanding."

Representatives from the three parties looked through the document together in front of the computer, and they were more shocked the more they read.

The American consul still had the leisure to ask a question.

"How am I doing now?"

"No changes. It's still the same as last time. After recovery, I can expect to live about one year and three months."

After saying this, Ikari Fumihiko thought of the bloody reality that the other party had revealed last time, and couldn't help but speak back.

"Where's your secretary? Was he silenced?"

"Don't worry, although I'm old, I still have some influence in the organization, so it won't be difficult for me to keep my secretary."

"hehe--"

416. The fourth update is finished, I am tired and sleep

Fumihiko Ikari didn't know much about the intelligence from the upper echelons, so he didn't know the specific details of the current cooperation between Seele and the three major countries.

"Are you abandoned now?"

"Please, our organization has a cooperative relationship with the three major countries."

"hehe."

"Okay, I admit that we are indeed not equal in strength, but it is not difficult for me to save my life. Moreover, I may be the patient zero of this project team and an important experimental subject. It is difficult for me to die even if I want to. Don't underestimate the fear of death of human beings. When they are about to die, they can do anything to survive."

"Hearing you say that, I feel like there is nothing in this world that can stump you."

"Maintaining the alliance between you and me is quite difficult for me. By the way...how are those two sisters? They have begun to throw themselves into your arms!" The American consul showed a smile that looked extremely vulgar. "It's so boring here. There's nothing to do. Why don't you talk to me to relieve your boredom!"

Now that three major countries have joined the game and influenced by the last conversation, Fumihiko Ikari did not give the American consul any good look at all.

"You are such a filthy person."

"As expected, telling the truth is the most annoying thing. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have reminded you last time."

"Haha, goodness, this is really a good joke."

The American consul spread his hands.

"It's a kind reminder, definitely not a calculation."

"Ah, yes, yes—"

"Alas! If I had known it would be like this, I would not have said it."

"hehe."

Rather than a well-intentioned reminder, Fumihiko Ikari felt that this was a plot set up by the top management of Seele.

As for what they were trying to calculate, he simply couldn't figure it out.

Just when the American consul was about to say something, the representatives of the three parties had already finished reading the materials and explained the details to their superiors.

"We have some people here, and we hope you can help treat them."

Before Ikari Fumihiko could speak, the American consul interrupted.

"You see, this is the charm of longevity. Few people can resist the temptation to continue living."

"You talk a lot."

After retorting to the American consul, Fumihiko Ikari turned around and spoke to the representatives of the three parties.

"Of course there is no problem on my side, but the technology is not yet mature, and the cost of each treatment is not small. You'd better be mentally prepared."

He deliberately diverted the topic to the immortality surgery in order to expand his influence.

"Yes, by the way, there is a branch of immortality surgery in the above-ground research institute. We can just send the patient there."

"This matter is quite urgent. Could you spare some time to solve it as a priority?"

"can."

The American Consul spoke again.

"Congratulations again. With these people's help, you can easily create a virtual online game in the future even if I don't contribute much."

The representatives of the three parties had received news a long time ago that this institute was researching virtual online games. They had also heard some scholars talk about this topic at some seminars, so they were not unfamiliar with the concept of virtual online games. After the showdown, they thought it was just a smokescreen created by the Seele organization to confuse everyone, but they didn't expect to hear about it again at this time.

"Virtual online game?"

“It’s a game that transcends time, but it’s not played with a controller or other device. It’s about letting people’s consciousness enter the virtual world.”

"May I ask you what you are doing with this?"

When asked this question, Fumihiko Ikari had a funny idea in his mind.

"Of course I want to build a castle in the sky..." Later on, the words 'imprison a group of players and stage a real-life version of Sword Art Online to see if Asuna's white silk really has an attack speed bonus' were not said. Firstly, saying them would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and secondly, these people would not understand the humor in it.

People still don't quite understand.

"Sky City?"

"Actually, there is no special meaning. I just heard some legends about the sky city when I was a child, so I wanted to make a virtual game to realize my childhood dream."

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment, then changed the subject.

"Of course, this is the initial idea. Now I plan to create a virtual online game for the apostles."

Everyone was a little confused. How did this virtual online game have anything to do with the apostles?

"We know too little about the apostles right now. If we want to formulate corresponding countermeasures in advance, the best way is to brainstorm. However, the information about the apostles cannot be known by too many people in advance, otherwise it will definitely cause large-scale panic. But if we can complete this task in the form of a game, there will be fewer concerns, and it can even cover up the accidental leakage of intelligence."

Ikari Fumihiko's words were rather vague, but everyone still roughly understood his idea.

The American consul sighed.

"You guys really put a lot of thought into using the neural connection device to play games."

Even though his thoughts were exposed, Ikari Fumihiko's expression did not change at all.

“Everything is for the continuation of humanity.”

The representatives of the three parties stood in awe.

Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to hear the truth from the American consul anymore.

"let's go."

"it is good."

After leaving the Eternal Life Surgery Project Team, the four took the elevator to the ground.

At this time, there were many more tents forming a camp around the institute, and a large number of engineering equipment were roaring.

The three party representatives made an introduction.

"This is the construction of a dormitory for the R&D department staff. In addition, after the surveying is completed, an above-ground base will be built to form an integrated part of the underground base to defend against attacks by the apostles."

Hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari thought of the NERV base in the original work.

“This is really a big project.”

"Compared to the Second New Tokyo City project, such a base is not a big project."

An idea flashed through his mind.

Seele has handed over the verification project of smart cities to the three major countries. Now the three major countries are preparing to ask the Japanese government to pay money to help complete the technical demonstration.

This is really a benefit. I want it all and you take the risk.

Everyone came to the above-ground eternal life surgery project branch. After the three representatives reported the situation, they returned to the underground base to review the materials.

In his place were three assistants.

Just as the American consul had predicted, these three assistants were more beautiful than the other and were not inferior to Saori Hashimoto.

Three people gathered around him... No! Four people.

Saori Hashimoto also appears here.

This surprised Fumihiko Ikari a little. As a person who had connections with the top management of SEELE, the three major countries actually allowed Hashimoto Saori to appear by his side again.

But he was only stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. He had thought too simply before. Seele had just reached a cooperation with the three major countries, especially when Seele revealed so many things at once. Even if the three major countries wanted to turn against Seele, they would have to wait until they knew Seele's details before taking any action.

Four people were lingering around him, and in this not-so-spacious room, he could feel a fragrance in the air.

17:55:25

417. I should ask you this question

It was not until this moment that Ikari Fumihiko truly realized why there were so many people in the world who were greedy for power. Without the power in his hands, it would be impossible for him and these four women, each as unique as big stars, to have any connection in life, let alone being surrounded by them like the moon surrounded by stars. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were within his reach.

"Minister, the medical supplies will be delivered around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the patients will be brought here at that time."

"minister……"

The four of them spoke in orchid-like voices and reported the situation to him one by one.

The three major countries are still at odds with each other, each providing resources for the patients sent by themselves.

"Ah."

He responded and then checked the condition of Patient No. 1 who had been treated previously through the computer.

At this time.

Saori Hashimoto reported a situation.
