I participated in the development of EVA

"Then continue in four hours."

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to say anything, the person on the other side closed the video window.

He looked up at the time, and finally picked up the phone and dialed Saori Hashimoto's number.

"I'm not going back tonight, so just pack up and go to bed."

During dinner, he felt that the meeting would last a long time, so he arranged for Saori Hashimoto to go over and accompany Rei Ayanami.

Saori Hashimoto paused for a moment before speaking.

"Yes."

Although the tone was flat and there was no change, Fumihiko Ikari still caught the pause.

"Is something wrong?"

"fine."

Fumihiko Ikari couldn't hear any emotion and was too lazy to guess. He just thought that the other party might be going to the ground to check on her sister. Although he had not paid attention to Saori Hashimoto's movements, Dr. Ito reported to him about the condition of the two sisters every day. Therefore, he knew that Saori Hashimoto would go to the ground to accompany her sister for treatment every day when she had time.

He thought for a moment before speaking.

"Forget it, just wait."

"I'm really fine."

Fumihiko Ikari ignored this, hung up the phone and called Naoko Akagi.

The target he chose was naturally not the scientific research fanatic Naoko Akagi, but her daughter. However, since he had asked Ritsuko Akagi that philosophy question before, he was a little afraid to call her now.

469. Perseverance

After the call was connected, Naoko Akagi remained silent as usual, waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to speak. He was already accustomed to this, so he started talking immediately.

"I have something to do here. I'm worried about Rei being alone in the dormitory. Please talk to Ritsuko."

Naoko Akagi glanced at her daughter not far away, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and it seemed that she should pretend that she couldn't get in touch with her at this time.

"She's not here, call her."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ikari Fumihiko held his forehead with his hand. The only familiar people in this research institute that he could trust were Akagi and her daughter. Well! They were the only familiar people.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have done that kind of philosophical question before.

Unable to help but sigh, he still called.

We can solve it today, but if the meeting cannot be completed tomorrow, we will still have to face this situation.

The call lasted a long time, and just when he thought the other party would not answer, it was answered.

"what's up."

The voice was cold.

"I need your help with something."

"Work?"

There was a note of caution in his voice.

"Private matter."

The call was immediately hung up.

It's obvious that Naoko Akagi is not interested in philosophical questions.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead again and thought, forget it, let's find another assistant.

To be honest, if possible, he really didn't want to have too much contact with the other three assistants, no! Four, including Hashimoto Saori. He wasn't worried about these people doing something weird or causing trouble, he was just worried that he couldn't control himself. He never thought that he was a person with a strong will.

When I had a girlfriend, I kept my distance from her and didn’t give myself the chance to control myself. Now that I’m single again, my mentality is different and my thoughts are more likely to slip.

This is even more difficult since the four of them are not only beautiful but also completely defenseless against me.

When I arrived at the director's office, I saw only the Chinese assistant drinking tea and processing documents.

"minister."

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

"We adopt a rotation system at night."

Ikari Fumihiko was embarrassed to speak directly, so he just asked casually.

“How long do you work a day?”

"Twenty hours, with four hours of rest in the rest cabin every day."

Ikari Fumihiko was only slightly surprised, then he understood that most of the people who could use the rest cabin here could do so.

Once the nerv system is established, only grassroots employees will benefit.

"When will someone come to take your place?"

"anytime."

It was only then that he took a look at the Chinese assistant's name tag. No! It was the Chinese assistant's name.

Li Wan.

Although he had had a lot of contact with these three assistants in the past, he never really cared about their names.

Although he didn't need to be polite, he still hesitated for a moment before he said what he was talking about. "I'm a little worried about Li being alone in the dormitory. I have an important meeting later and can't go back. Hashimoto Saori has to go visit her unconscious sister, so you go to my dormitory tonight and keep an eye on her."

"Yes, are we going over now?"

"As soon as possible."

"Please wait a moment."

Li Wan picked up the phone and contacted the replacement, then said, "I have to go out for something" and hung up.

"Okay."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded and responded.

"Well, just go ahead."

After saying that, he sent a text message to Saori Hashimoto, telling her that she could leave.

It took a while for the other end to reply.

【it is good. 】

Ikari Fumihiko went to the special lounge in the director's office and was changing his clothes when Li Wan sent him a text message.

【I have arrived.】

[Well, just take a good rest. ]

【Yes. 】

Putting his cell phone aside, he lay down in the rest cabin.

For the next week, he was either in meetings or on the way to meetings. Subsequent meetings basically revolved around the issue of how to find other apostles. He only had one hour break in the morning, noon and evening to eat. If it were in the past, he would have started complaining a long time ago, but now he didn't feel anything about this high-intensity work. It was obvious that his body and mind had become accustomed to this rhythm.

These days, Li Wan and Hashimoto Saori have been taking turns to look after Ayanami Rei for him.

Looking at the closed video window, Fumihiko Ikari breathed a sigh of relief.

"it is finally over."

There was nothing wrong with the meeting, but the main thing was that he had to sit in one place all day without being able to move his body, which made his buttocks and cervical spine a bit uncomfortable. Now he just wanted to find a place to lie down for a while. At this time, Li Wan was already resting with Rei Ayanami in her dormitory. If he went back now, he would become a hooligan, so he could only go to the minister's lounge.

However, after NERV got on the right track, his work as the minister became more complicated.

As soon as he entered the office, the white assistant stood up and handed him a document.

"Minister, the Three Sages Network Protocol has been finalized."

Fumihiko Ikari picked up the document and glanced at it. It was no different from what was discussed in the meeting, except that more details were added.

He signed his name immediately.

At the same time, he asked, "When will this document take effect?"

“It will take effect in about three days.”

"Three days?"

He used to look forward to the Three Sages System being connected to the Internet, but now he has no interest in it.

Everyone knew that he had this card in his hand, and also knew the power of the Three Sages system, so he must have made corresponding preparations in advance. Moreover, the Three Sages' network was also being targeted from all sides, and it was basically impossible to find out Seele's human complement neighborhood committee members through the Internet.

The white assistant put away the documents and spoke again.

"The Immortality Surgery Project Team hopes you can come over."

Fumihiko Ikari had long known that the immortality surgery project had been taken over by someone else, but he had never paid attention to it.

"Who took over the immortality surgery project?"

"In total, medical teams from seven countries are involved in this project."

"What do they want from me?"

"I want to discuss the reform of the medical industry."

"Tell them to wait. I just finished a meeting. I feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for too long. I need to rest."

"Yes."

The white assistant responded first, then spoke again.

"Do you need me to help you relax? I learned massage from my mother before."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little resistant, but the soft whisper made his willpower a little unsteady.

It's just a regular massage, nothing serious.

"Ah."

"Just lie down on the sofa."

"Oh."

Ikari Fumihiko was lying on the sofa enjoying a professional massage from a white assistant. The physical contact and the looming white legs in his sight made him unable to control his thoughts. He thought of Kana Fuyutsuki, Emi Ibuki, and even Ritsuko Akagi's deep cleavage...

Even the scene when Yui Ikari was feeding Shinji Ikari.

The more I tried to put away these messy thoughts, the clearer the scene appeared in my mind.

He remembered that it was in this room, Ikari Yui was sitting on this sofa, holding Ikari Shinji in her arms, as if he didn't exist, she lifted up her clothes to reveal her tender white skin and fed Ikari Shinji.

It's really bad.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind.

18:11:25

470. Zero

The line between humans and animals can easily become blurred if there is enough temptation.

Especially for people like Ikari Fumihiko who have always wanted to have a healthy family but have never been able to do so, when they are single, they lack the willpower to face the opposite sex. This was the case when he was with Fuyutsuki Kana. She was beautiful and very proactive... He couldn't control himself.

Ibuki Emi's situation was similar, but...

That was before.

It’s still as bad as before, but there has been some progress.

At least when facing a woman who was more attractive than his two ex-girlfriends, and taking advantage of the teasing during the massage, whether intentional or unintentional, he was able to control himself even though his mind was in a mess.

The boundary between humans and animals is not blurred.

It's really a hilarious growth.

He realized this and sighed bitterly in his heart.
