I participated in the development of EVA

“So much data has been saved.”

Naoko Akagi was also a little surprised.

“It was indeed unexpected.”

Zhao Shuo spoke up and answered their questions.

"People always have to find something to do when they are alive, just like those scholars who are rebuilding the marine ecology. After the impact, some programmers spontaneously organized themselves together and preserved a large amount of pre-impact Internet data for humans during that chaotic period. In their words... what they are protecting is not the data itself, but memories and emotions."

Having said that, Zhao Shuo paused and added a sentence.

"It was the actions of these people that saved many people, but also... killed many people."

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Some people find the courage to live from past memories, while others lose the courage to live because of them?"

"Yes, I am the former. I found the images of my family in the data they guarded."

As he said this, he took out his mobile phone and showed his screen saver picture.

The screen saver is a photo of a holiday dinner.

Ikari Fumihiko was somewhat surprised. He thought Zhao Shuo would take out a pocket watch or something like that, but he didn't expect that he would take out the latest smartphone.

Naoko Akagi also sighed.

"This is not about those people. For those who can't survive, they can't survive no matter what."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"Most of those accusations are just taking advantage of the situation to vent pressure."

"The internet is a bit violent right now."

"It's normal. Even though eight years have passed since the Second Impact, it's still not enough for the living to come out of the shadows. That's why virtual games are so popular after they were launched. They spread rapidly in human society like a virus. If it weren't for the fact that the equipment couldn't keep up, most people would have already hidden in virtual games."

Having said that, Ikari Fumihiko added another sentence.

"If they didn't need to return to reality to eat, most of them would have completely abandoned reality, but this is almost the same now."

It was precisely because everyone was completely immersed in the game world that other players did not notice anything unusual about him using scripts to level up 24 hours a day.

Because the same is true for normal players.

Except for eating and going to the toilet, the rest of the time is spent in the game world.

Even sleeping when you are tired can be done in the game.

"Okay, the dream has been generated."

Although everyone was chatting just now, the Three Sages System has been working all the time.

After hearing what Naoko Akagi said, Fumihiko Ikari turned his attention back to the big screen.

The generated dream contains not only bustling streets, but also preserved Internet memories.

People come and go on the streets of the small county town, and everyone moves around like a living person, following the memory traces preserved by the Internet.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but sigh again.

"Ritsuko, this program you developed is really amazing."

Afraid of being misunderstood, he added subconsciously.

"Of course, this is mainly due to the Three Sages System's power. Otherwise... Ritsuko, no matter how hard you try, you can't come up with something like this."

When Naoko Akagi heard this, she was not happy but a little depressed. She wanted to say: It's better not to explain it! If you don't explain it, I won't think too much about it. But I think it's hard not to care about your explanation.

Besides, she also wanted to emphasize.

I believe in your character and I won't be jealous of my daughter.

Although she felt helpless, she couldn't say anything.

Because she was worried that she would end up like Fumihiko Ikari now, making things worse.

After painfully adding the information about Prisoner No. 2 into the dream program, she spoke again, preventing Ikari Fumihiko from continuing to portray the matter in a negative light.

"Is this okay?"

Just as Ikari Fumihiko was about to speak, Zhao Shuo spoke first.

“It’s better to add a second impact factor into the mix.”

After a pause, he added.

"This will be more stimulating to him."

No matter how much Zhao Shuo tried to cover it up, Ikari Fumihiko and Akagi Naoko knew that Zhao Shuo was taking the opportunity to take revenge.

After thinking about it, Fumihiko Ikari nodded in agreement.

Zhao Shuo was indeed taking advantage of the situation, but there was nothing wrong with the direction of his discussion.

“The success rate is indeed higher this way.”

Naoko Akagi added the data after the impact and used the Three Sages System to reverse the entire disaster process.

20:12:02

621. The Second Impact

Everything is ready.

As Naoko Akagi pressed a set of shortcut keys, the dream in which time seemed to have stopped came to life at this moment.

There were pedestrians hurrying on their way, couples laughing and joking, and people arguing...

Prisoner No. 2 and his family were mixed in this commercial street with all kinds of people. They looked very ordinary. If the camera was not fixed on them, they would not attract any attention. If there was any highlight in this family, it would probably be Prisoner No. 2's sister who was in high school. She was dressed very fashionably and had a good figure among her peers.

A family was waiting in front of an empty department store on the commercial street for their father, who had just got off work, to come and meet them.

The waiting time was quite long, and it was a full half hour before my father hurriedly arrived.

This immediately caused a burst of complaints from family members.

At this time, Naoko Akagi suddenly spoke up and reminded her.

"Success!"

Ikari Fumihiko was delighted and looked over immediately.

Humans do not yet have the means to observe the soul and can only observe it through dream programs.

At this time, there was an additional visitor to the dream program.

"Right now...stuff the escaped part of prisoner number two inside."

Naoko Akagi took action immediately.

The part of the prisoner No. 2 that escaped was stuffed back into the core. As soon as this was done, the Three Sages System prompted that there was another visitor in the dream program.

only……

"There is no sign of fusion, and the escaped parts still exist independently."

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Could it be that we guessed wrongly, and the escaping part did not break free from the core, but was actively abandoned.”

While Naoko Akagi was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, Zhao Shuo reacted.

"You mean, Prisoner No. 2 is rejecting the criminal part of himself?"

"That's pretty much it."

Fumihiko Ikari had not done much research on the interior of the core before, and had no idea what it looked like inside.

"This is my personal guess. As for whether this is the case, I don't know."

The control room fell silent.

The three of them watched in silence as Prisoner No. 2, his mother, and his sister complained to their father, and at this moment...

The father who kept apologizing suddenly frowned and asked a question.

"what sound?"

Prisoner No. 2, his sister and his mother were all stunned, and then they also heard a loud roar.

The originally noisy commercial street became eerily quiet at this moment.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction where the loud noise came from. After a moment, the terrifying curtain of water appeared at the end of their field of vision.

"It's... it's a tsunami!!!"

Someone yelled in fear, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

"what--"

People screamed and ran to the surrounding buildings.

At this moment, Fumihiko Ikari finally felt how terrifying the second impact that people had always talked about was. The tall buildings seemed extremely small in front of this tsunami. The terrifying water curtain was like a disaster in a movie, giving people a sense of unreality, but it was actually happening before their eyes.

however……

The tsunami was just the beginning.

The earth is also wailing, not because it can't withstand the ravages of the tsunami, but because the earth's axis is shifting!

The shift of the earth's axis does not change the angle all at once, but changes little by little.

Tsunamis, earthquakes, these horrific disasters are not over yet...

On the other side, a rolling black fog was swallowing up the inland sky.

Fumihiko Ikari took a look at the background data and realized that the rolling black curtain was not clouds or rain, but dust from the eruption of Mount Fuji that polluted the sky.

After the tsunami engulfed the small town, it did not stop, but continued to roll inland with unabated force.

There were a few people who survived in some high-rise buildings in the town that did not collapse due to the tsunami and earthquake, but they lost the sun before they could rejoice. The sky was covered by volcanic ash, followed by gray snow falling. At the same time, waves and the earthquake that had not stopped yet hit the buildings.

What's worse is that the water level is also rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ikari Fumihiko looked at everything that happened in his dream, swallowed secretly, and was horrified.

He was lamenting the horror of the second impact, but at the same time he was also lamenting the good fortune of prisoner No. 2.

In such a horrific disaster, Prisoner No. 2 actually survived by luck.

That was a distant perspective, and the camera pulled back to prisoner No. 2.

The tsunami hasn't reached them yet.

The loud noise shattered the glass of the surrounding shops.

Prisoner No. 2 and his family ran into the nearest high-rise building...

"Merged——"

After hearing what Naoko Akagi said, Fumihiko Ikari came to his senses and took a look at the background data, which showed that there was one less visitor.

At the same time, he also took another look at the file of Prisoner No. 2.

I thought to myself.

No wonder he can run so fast.

Prisoner No. 2 was a sports recruit before the second attack, so he burst out with amazing strength when the disaster happened and escaped to the upper floors of a nearby building, which gave him a chance to survive. However... Prisoner No. 2's family was not so lucky. They did not have such good physical fitness. The father had a chance to survive, but was dragged down by his wife and daughter...

wrong.

It's not about being a burden, it's about not wanting to let go and not wanting to live in vain.

During the escape, the wife and daughter asked their father to let go, but the father said nothing. He just lowered his head and used all his strength to drag his wife and daughter upstairs.

My father only spoke one sentence during the escape.

Let my son run...

However, since he paused before saying the word "run", it was not difficult to see that the father wanted his son to come back to help.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he felt that no one would survive that, so he temporarily changed his words to "run".

This is what Fumihiko Ikari realized after seeing that scene.
