I participated in the development of EVA

Akagi Naoko spoke again.

"Besides this, I also sensed something else."

"What is it?"

"I'm not sure what that thing is. It may be Eva's soul, or it may not be."

"Ok?"

"How should I put it? There is another self inside me, staying with me in the body of past memories." Having said this, Naoko Akagi paused for a moment before speaking again, "Especially when you want to activate the connection, my perception of that thing is most obvious... Well, you can also say that whenever my consciousness is stimulated and produces strong emotional fluctuations, I can sense it."

After hearing what Naoko Akagi said, Fumihiko Ikari also felt that that was the soul of EVA.

"Any more?"

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"After entering the core, my self-awareness is too vague. I can only passively receive information. That's all for now."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"Calm Ritsuko down first, then continue the experiment."

"okay."

At this moment, Ritsuko Akagi was still struggling. Things related to her mother made it difficult for her to remain calm.

Naoko Akagi activated the communication channel.

"Ritsuko, I'm fine."

Ritsuko Akagi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother."

Naoko Akagi fell silent, obviously not knowing what to say, or not knowing how to face Ritsuko Akagi.

Ikari Fumihiko took over the conversation.

"If you have no problem, adjust your mindset and continue the experiment."

Ritsuko Akagi obviously misjudged the situation and thought that the current experiment was temporarily terminated due to her own emotional instability, so she said this with a frustrated look.

"Feel sorry."

Naoko Akagi said this subconsciously.

"This is not your problem, it's my problem..."

I wanted to say that there was a problem on my side, but I stopped myself halfway and changed it to another sentence.

“There’s something wrong with the equipment.”

She was obviously worried that what she said would cause Ritsuko Akagi to think too much and become aware of the relationship between her and Fumihiko Ikari.

After seeing this scene, Fumihiko Ikari became even more pessimistic about the next experiment.

"The equipment has been debugged. You can adjust your mindset and start the experiment again."

This is said to Naoko Akagi. The key now lies with her.

If she still maintains her resistance, the experiment will fail again.

Fumihiko Ikari now agrees to continue the experiment in order to force Naoko Akagi to make up her mind and make their relationship public.

"I'm ready."

"I'm available anytime."

Akagi and her daughter responded almost at the same time.

Ikari Fumihiko said.

"Then start over again."

Then he pressed the shortcut key again, activating the startup program, and the two plugs fell into the body of the semi-finished testing machine again.

Akagi Naoko's body disappeared again due to "diving".

Ritsuko Akagi sat nervously in the control seat waiting for the connection device to start.

This time, Fumihiko Ikari terminated the subsequent automated program and switched to manual mode. Therefore, he did not activate the driver's seat connection device immediately, but asked a question to the brains of the three sages.

Is she ready?

The brains of the three sages became like those of living beings again, no...it would be more accurate to say that they possessed souls.

[I can sense that she is not ready yet.]

Because it used 'perception' when answering, something that computers shouldn't have.

[Will it be successful this time? ]

[Maybe?]

【reason.】

She is trying hard.

【What are you working hard for? 】

【Hide your secrets. 】

[She is still awake?]

[No, she just reserved information in the system to let herself do this while she was in a daze.]

[Have you reserved information? ]

[She just rewrote the rescue program, and through the connection between me and her, she kept brainwashing herself, or you could say she was deceiving herself.]

Ikari Fumihiko could only roughly understand the meaning of the words of the three wise men's brains.

Just now, when Akagi Naoko was adjusting her condition, she rewrote the rescue program to brainwash herself in this way.

He really didn't notice that Naoko Akagi had made such preparations just now.

【Is it effective? 】

[Not obvious, she still keeps her heart closed.]

Fumihiko Ikari was a little curious.

【How did you make this judgment? 】

[The connection program and the pop-up program are connected in parallel. ]

Fumihiko Ikari pondered for a moment, recalling the previous conversation, and decided to use words to stimulate Naoko Akagi's emotions.

But how to stimulate it?

Thinking about it, he thought of a sensitive word.

【Sense of participation.】

[No! No! No! No! No!]

The entire screen is filled with red prompts.

It was obvious that Naoko Akagi's consciousness was stimulated and she recovered some of her self.

Ikari Fumihiko seized the opportunity and activated the connection program. His strategy was successful... The resistance to the "sense of participation" made Naoko Akagi, who was not conscious at the moment, unable to care about her resistance to Ritsuko Akagi.

The connection between the two parties was successfully established.

Things turned out just as Naoko Akagi predicted. Ritsuko Akagi's age did not cause any rejection reaction.

At the same time, Akagi Ritsuko spoke in confusion.

“I feel a sense of panic right now.”

Ikari Fumihiko naturally knew the reason and immediately made a remark.

"You are the one who is nervous and afraid that the experiment will fail and you will lose your pilot qualification."

Ritsuko Akagi didn't say anything else, she did have this idea.

20:16:27

637. Abnormal

"Don't be nervous, just relax."

In order to increase the persuasiveness, Ikari Fumihiko said another soothing sentence.

Then, without giving Ritsuko Akagi much time to think, he spoke again to change the subject.

"The experiment has gone smoothly so far. Well, now Professor Akagi's theory has basically been confirmed. The EVA that has undergone the transformation of the Three Sages does not regard you as a foreign object."

"Success?"

"Yes, do you have a sense of sensory extension now?"

Akagi Ritsuko responded first.

"Ah."

Then he added another sentence.

"Besides this, there is another special feeling that is not very strong and I can't really put my finger on it."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

Now the synchronization rate between mother and daughter is only 35.33%. Theoretically, Ritsuko Akagi can only start it with difficulty and cannot perceive the EVA state too clearly.

However, Ritsuko Akagi was able to sense the status of the testing machine.

Is there an implicit synchronization rate, or are adults more perceptive?

Just as he was thinking about this, the synchronization rate began to drop rapidly, falling below 20% in the blink of an eye, and then it was disconnected again after just a brief pause.

Obviously, at this time Naoko Akagi calmed down, sensed Ritsuko Akagi's visit, and began to reject Ritsuko Akagi.

Not only is the synchronization disconnected, the body is also rejecting it.

Ritsuko Akagi was bounced out again.

"what happens?"

In response to Ritsuko Akagi's confused question, Fumihiko Ikari simply replied calmly.

"Nothing, I just closed the program because I wanted to go to the bathroom."

Ritsuko Akagi obviously didn't believe it.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"If you don't believe me, just follow me to the bathroom and see if I really need to go to the bathroom."

Ritsuko Akagi is still a little girl, how can she bear this?

"rogue."

Ikari Fumihiko spread his hands.

"I'm going to the bathroom first. When Professor Akagi wakes up, tell her."

"Got it. Go quickly and come back soon. Don't delay the experiment."

After activating the termination program, Fumihiko Ikari turned and walked out of the control room, sat on the toilet, took out his mobile phone, and accessed the Three Sages System through a remote connection.

At this time, Naoko Akagi was salvaged again.

After learning the situation from Ritsuko Akagi, she didn't say anything, but put on her combat uniform in silence.

Although the combat suit is made of special resin, it is not special enough to sneak into the core with the driver. Therefore, every time the core driver sneaks into the core, only his soul enters, and the combat suit will remain in the cockpit. Therefore, the driver needs to manually put on the combat suit again after each body reconstruction.

For core pilots, the biggest function of combat uniforms is to cover the body.

Uh……

Naoko Akagi is not a special case. The same situation exists in other second-generation aircraft. That is why there are no surveillance cameras installed in the core cockpit.

Fumihiko Ikari heard the sound of LCL liquid being stirred in the channel and concluded that Naoko Akagi had reconstructed her body.

He immediately asked.
