I chased after them in order to stop Akagi Naoko from being involved, but how did things turn out like this inexplicably... However, it's good that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Just like in the original story, Akagi Naoko was involved with Ikari Gendo and was tricked into giving away her system permissions, causing the current good situation to collapse.

Another good news is that after the two of them got together, Naoko Akagi gave up her previous idea of ​​taking risks.

The bad news is...

The experiment hit a bottleneck again, and the two had plenty of time to waste.

This led to him having the same experience as Ryosuke Kaji.

No one disturbed them for the next half month. Except for eating, sleeping and resting, they worked in the project team's lounge. It was not that Fumihiko Ikari had such a strong desire, but Naoko Akagi did not want to stop, because only such madness could make the brain temporarily strike due to strong stimulation, so that she would not have to think about how to face her daughter in the future.

Fortunately, there are medical cabins and LCL, otherwise...

Fumihiko Ikari felt that he might die at the hands of Naoko Akagi.

"Minister, this is bad!"

The exhausted Fumihiko Ikari was woken up by Zhao Shuo when he was dozing off.

The sound came through the emergency channel on his phone, not Zhao Shuo entering the room.

"What's wrong... I'm fine..."

"Professor Akagi has entered the virtual warehouse."

Hearing this, Ikari Fumihiko subconsciously touched the side, but did not find the soft and plump body.

I immediately became energetic.

He rushed out of the lounge without even having time to put on his clothes, and walked through the corridor into the control room.

Fortunately, there are only a few people here, and there are no other opposite sexes except Naoko Akagi.

It was embarrassing to be naked, but he was too anxious to care about these things. As soon as he entered the control room, he saw on the big screen that the backup machine had been activated. Fortunately, although Akagi Naoko looked a little embarrassed, it seemed that connecting to the backup machine put a lot of pressure on her, but Akagi Naoko was not swallowed up as he worried.

He was relieved at first, then angry.

No matter what caused this relationship, since it has lasted for more than half a month, it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened.

From a couple's perspective, it was impossible for him not to be angry.

"Nonsense!!"

The angry voice reached Naoko Akagi's ears through the audio.

Naoko Akagi's expression became panicked and struggling.

"I know what I do..."

After the impulse, she realized that she had misjudged her own psychological endurance and underestimated the importance of her daughter in her heart. Although that kind of thing could numb the body and mind, just like smoking and drinking, the effect could not last forever. It could only make people forget their sorrows temporarily, but could not really solve the sorrows. Therefore... she secretly entered the virtual warehouse and established a connection with the backup machine without telling Fumihiko Ikari.

The hope is not to solve the bottleneck problem of the experiment, but to solve the problem of myself.

"Humanity doesn't have that much time to waste..."

Fumihiko Ikari roared and interrupted Naoko Akagi's next words.

"Nonsense!"

From the perspective of a partnership, he did not have the position to scold Naoko Akagi like this, but now that they are both together, it is natural for him to have such a position.

Naoko Akagi no longer speaks the same way as before.

"I don't want to quarrel with you. The facts now have proved that my speculation that day was correct and your worries are completely unnecessary."

Fumihiko Ikari ignored what Naoko Akagi said and directly cut off the power to the virtual warehouse at the physical level.

Naoko Akagi rushed into the control room with an angry face and wearing a rest suit. There was a lot of LCL liquid left on her body. She was wet all over. When she saw that Fumihiko Ikari was not wearing any clothes, her anger for having the experiment interrupted suddenly disappeared by half. When she noticed the glaring look on Fumihiko Ikari's face, her anger had almost dissipated.

Because she once again felt the feeling of being cared for and concerned about.

At this time, not only did I no longer feel angry, but I felt a little happy instead.

"How come you... um, aren't you cold like this?"

When she said this, Naoko Akagi laughed subconsciously.

Fumihiko Ikari's anger turned into helplessness after being interrupted by Naoko Akagi.

"What are you laughing at? What do you think made me so anxious?"

"Put on your clothes first. This feels a bit weird."

Ikari Fumihiko gave Zhao Shuo a look.

Zhao Shuo didn't move, but replied.

"I have just arranged for someone to help you get your clothes."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from outside, holding a bag containing Ikari Fumihiko's clothes.

Fumihiko Ikari was ready to put on his clothes in front of everyone.

Anyway, everyone here except Naoko Akagi is a man, so he has nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, he has already appeared for such a long time.

However, Naoko Akagi has a different opinion.

"Go take a shower first."

After being reminded by Naoko Akagi, Fumihiko Ikari finally realized that he had not taken a shower after his last exercise.

"Uh, okay."

Naoko Akagi took the bag containing clothes from Fumihiko Ikari and followed him to the laboratory changing room.

When he saw Naoko Akagi was about to follow in, he realized something was wrong and his legs suddenly went weak. He immediately turned around seriously and scolded Naoko Akagi.

"Go over there. This matter is not so easy to fool around with."

"I just wanted to give you a back rub."

Ikari Fumihiko frowned.

Back rub? I think you want to accidentally fire the gun——

"Need not."

Fumihiko Ikari simply took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat on the bench in the locker room waiting for Naoko Akagi to come out.

Naoko Akagi also simply rinsed and came out.

However, unlike Ikari Fumihiko, she was still wearing her leisure clothes and had not changed into casual clothes.

Seeing this, Ikari Fumihiko knew that she still wanted to complete the follow-up experiments, and he snorted in annoyance.

"What's the matter? Do you still want to continue? Do you really think you are a cat with nine lives? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't do anything with so many lives?"

20:03:51

593. I am different from you

When it comes to other things, Naoko Akagi has a softer personality but firmer opinions, but only when it comes to scientific research does she have her own persistence.

"It has been proven just now that your previous worries and fears were actually because the disappearance of Ikari Yui made you overly sensitive to this aspect of research. I can understand your feelings, and I can also understand that you are so cautious because you don't want that kind of thing to happen again. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with you being so cautious. There is nothing wrong with being cautious when exploring unknown areas.

What's more, this is a dangerous experiment that involves the fate of all mankind, but... it has now been verified.

If you continue to do this, it will be beyond the normal range."

As she spoke, she gently tidied some clothes for Fumihiko Ikari.

Ikari Fumihiko frowned so hard that he was unable to speak.

What Naoko Akagi said was correct, but he still felt that Naoko Akagi had saved her life this time, and it would be too risky to continue.

"I still feel that if we continue without a restraint device, the backup machine could go out of control at any time."

Naoko Akagi continued to express her views patiently.

"The backup machine does have the possibility of losing control, but we have conducted so many experiments so far, and there has never been a case of EVA devouring a human body along the spirit particle network..."

"This thing has been evolving. Now it just has an appearance similar to a regular EVA, but its life form has actually changed greatly, and this change will continue... Just because it doesn't appear now doesn't mean it won't appear in the future. Have you ever thought about what would happen if this happened! You would disappear!! I won't allow you to joke with your own life."

It had been a long time since she felt cared for by others, which made Naoko Akagi smile even more, but she did not back down.

"This is just your speculation, and there is no actual data to support it."

"The collapse of the human body is because the human's own AT force field is disintegrated, making it impossible to maintain the form of the body. In other words, the devouring of EVA occurs at the level of the spirit particle." At this point, Ikari Fumihiko was worried that Akagi Naoko didn't understand, so he added, "The essence of the dream program is the AT force field that unfolds in the spirit particle field...

Simply put, the risk of EVA devouring the human body through the lepton network is valid at a theoretical level.

Do you understand? My concerns are not neurotic.”

Akagi Naoko nodded.

"I understand. So what? Do nothing and waste precious time at this critical moment? With current technology, it is not impossible to rescue a human body after it is devoured. Ikari Yui was just an exception. It was because she herself did not return to reality that the second rescue failed."

"..."

"Wen Yan, do you know? I've been having similar dreams recently. In the dream... the apostle appeared again. We could have succeeded, but because we had too little time, we failed to complete the artificial god plan. We could only face the third impact in despair and regret... We could have stopped it, but we didn't... I don't want this to happen in reality."

Fumihiko Ikari felt that the essence of this dream was that Naoko Akagi became so anxious because she had been under too much mental pressure from bearing the fate of mankind for a long time.

"With me here, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. Just trust me as much as I trust you."

These words made Akagi Naoko slightly obsessed, but then she came back to her senses.

"I am not as bold as you. I dare not bet the future of all mankind on the apostle not appearing again in a short time... I am not as brave as you, able to withstand all the pressure... And I don't have your strong belief that I can distort the dream program by myself without the help of external forces...

Wen Yan, I am different from you. I am not as strong as you.

This incident has such a huge impact that I can’t trust you with all my heart.”

Uh--

Am I so awesome in your eyes? Really! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I was so awesome.

Once again, Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what to say.

wrong!

It's that apart from those words that cannot be said, I don't know what to say in this situation.

The silence at this moment ultimately comes down to what Naoko Akagi said, she cannot completely trust herself, and she also cannot completely trust her.

The two of them sat on the bench leaning against each other.

Ikari Fumihiko wanted to use another method to make the other person sleep with him, but he was powerless now. He had tried for half a month before going, and he was exhausted but still failed.

After a long time, he reluctantly spoke to break the silence.

"Let's go back and look at the data first."

Naoko Akagi did not continue to force Fumihiko Ikari to express his opinion, because she would continue the experiment whether Fumihiko Ikari agreed or not.

Of course, it would be best to have Fumihiko Ikari's support, but without him the risk would be greater.

"it is good."

The two came to the main control room.

After opening the experimental records and looking at what had evolved on them, they frowned.

Ikari Fumihiko spoke first.

"These look familiar."

Naoko Akagi did not say anything, but instead pulled up the data on the brain's evolution process and compared it with it.

There is absolutely no similarity between the two in the first part, but after a certain level of deduction, the same content begins to appear, and this proportion continues to increase as the deduction progresses.

"Different in the beginning, but the final evolutionary results are the same?"

Hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari reacted.

The evolution of the body, and the final conclusion is the same as that of the head, which is to find connections and ways to open the door to dreams.

"wrong!

To be precise, the brain and the body evolved in roughly the same direction. Well, how should I put it? It's like two people doing a math problem. The question is to list an equation that equals two. One of them chooses one plus one equals two, while the other chooses 0.5 plus 1.5 equals two.

The two seem to be similar, and both come to the same answer in the end, and even the process is addition, but the two have different ways of thinking about the problem. "

Naoko Akagi thought for a moment before speaking.

"I think it's not accurate to describe it as a problem-solving approach. I should say there are two math problems, one is to calculate 1+1, and the other is to calculate 0.5+1.5."
