I participated in the development of EVA

At the same time, he looked around in embarrassment, worried that the previous conversation might be heard by others and cause misunderstanding, thus losing the right to choose a spouse.

I don't know if it caused a misunderstanding or was just a simple tease.

Ibuki Emi looked surprised.

"Oh? I didn't realize you were so bold! Look around you. Do you want to collect your compensation in the office?"

Apart from the fact that Ibuki Emi was eight years older than him, there was nothing to fault in other aspects, whether it was her appearance or her figure. Of course, age was not a big problem, after all, he was about the same age before he traveled through time. It's just... her mental state made him a little scared. If they really got together, he would be stabbed suddenly while he was sleeping one night.

Please, stop talking—

I really can't control myself anymore.

He quickly changed the subject.

"According to the current progress, the equipment will be ready in about a week. Have you recruited the personnel for testing?"

Such a dangerous experiment... no one would volunteer to participate, right?

"We've already contacted them. There are eighteen people in total, nine men and nine women... Here's the list for you to take a look at."

"so many people?"

Ibuki Emi's expression became complicated.

"There are more people who signed up than you think... In this situation, not everyone can survive. To be more precise, many people are just looking for a way to die. Just like your team leader, Professor Ishida Yu, who chose to die suddenly at his workplace.

To free myself from this twisted reality purgatory."

008. Your misfortune may be a blessing to some people.

???

I just asked casually, why are you feeling so much?

I didn't feel anything about what Ibuki Emi said, but I could more or less understand the meaning behind it.

The apocalyptic catastrophe caused by the Second Impact killed half of the world's population.

It seems like a simple sentence, but it contains too many separations of life and death. Except for a few chosen ones, almost everyone has lost the people they cherish in this doomsday catastrophe. Most people have even lost everything. For them... just being alive is a torment, and just breathing makes them feel like they are deep in purgatory.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that alcohol is the antidote, the world is purgatory, and hell is heaven.

Ugh--

Everything was fine, why do you have to make me pay attention to these heavy things?

When the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken…Every man is responsible for the fate of mankind…

How could he not know these principles of right and wrong? He knew this principle since he was a child. It's just that before he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary person who came to the human world to make up the numbers. One more or one less is not much. The most he could do was to make others sigh "there are so many people" when they saw the global population. What he thought about every day was how to live a good life.

Thinking more will only cause more troubles. I am just an ordinary person...

The most important thing is to live your own life well.

"Are you like this too? Are you planning to do the same as Ishida Yu?"

"Isn't it the same for you? Didn't you go to the hospital for overwork some time ago? You must have been very disappointed when you were rescued, right?"

"..."

Ikari Fumihiko sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment. He could only be thankful that his family situation was more complicated before he traveled through time.

His parents divorced when he was young and he has been living with his grandfather. He has no feelings for his parents. His grandfather died shortly after he became an adult. There is no one around him who cares about him except a few friends. Otherwise... he suddenly traveled to this world. His mental state is not much better than Ibuki Megumi. No... he should not be as strong as Ibuki Megumi. He will definitely not be able to withstand the blow.

Now he is either committing suicide in an attempt to travel back in time, or he is completely insane.

He picked up the personnel list and glanced through it, then immediately frowned.

"Why are there still children?"

"An experiment? Isn't it necessary to consider all factors as much as possible? In addition to the factor of gender, we also need to consider whether age has any effect."

The truth is this.

"But... 11 years old is too young! Are there people this young in the base?"

"This - actually it has something to do with you. I heard that this child was brought back by the staff who were sent out to help you collect game consoles. She saw the recruitment information and signed up."

???

"An eleven-year-old child, who was only nine years old two years ago and hadn't even graduated from elementary school, can't even recognize all the characters? He has no independent judgment ability at all and cannot participate in the experiment."

"No problem, you are the team leader and you have the final say."

"These two thirteen-year-olds are too young. Were they also brought back from the outside world?"

"They are children of internal personnel. An accident occurred in the experiment not long ago, which caused the death of their parents. After losing their parents, they both basically lost the desire to live and have attempted suicide many times..." After a pause, he continued: "Letting them participate actually gave them the confidence to live."

"No, it's too small."

"Then you set an age range, and I'll fill in the vacancies according to the requirements."

Fumihiko Ikari recalled the age of the EVA pilot in the original work, and his face immediately darkened.

What the hell...

They seem to be only fourteen years old??? And all of them have autism to some extent.

Destroy it——

This world is so fucking twisted.

"I...can't make this decision."

Ibuki Emi shook her head. "Then we'll cross out eleven and set the minimum age at thirteen."

Ikari Fumihiko remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Continue to look through the rest of the list.

“You signed up too???”

"Yes! I was the one who proposed this project, so how can I not participate? I don't want to be seen as an evil scientist who takes other people's lives for granted." After a pause, Ibuki Emi continued, "And I'm the first one. If the experiment is successful, I will probably leave my name in history with this achievement! Hmm... I won't just mention it in passing, but my name will be mentioned at least, right!?"

"..."

Looking at the list in my hand, my heart was struggling at this moment.

Because he knows the solution.

Embedded in the soul.

Manufacture of the Limbo series.

The former has certain risks in implementation, and it is unclear whether the relevant technology exists. As for the latter, even EVA has been produced, so it should not be difficult to produce the Limbo series.

only……

The Lingbo series was destined to be a tragedy when it was created.

Just like Misaka sister...

It's really sad.

It turns out that playing games all day is the best for me.

"Do you still have any questions?"

In response to Ibuki Emi's question, Ikari Fumihiko shook his head. He really didn't know what to say, or even what to do.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask.

“…Can I resign?”

Ibuki Emi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Ikari Fumihiko to ask such a question.

"If you're tired from work recently, go and take a rest! I'll take over the work here temporarily."

Although there was no direct answer, the answer was made clear.

After a moment of silence.

"Can the compensation for tonight still be paid?"

"Of course I'm just teasing you. I'm not interested in crying babies."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded and left the office.

I was away for seven days, and did nothing during that time except eating, sleeping, and playing games, trying to get rid of the heavy pressure on my body. This is how I got through every time I escaped before the time travel, but this time the method didn't work, and the game couldn't take away the heavy pressure on my body. I was still confused, and still hadn't gotten the answer.

Because he couldn't make a judgement...

It is proposed to create Lingbo series clones, which can save many detours in research and development and reduce the current chaotic human experiments.

Can cloned humans be treated as consumables?

Can we just ignore their feelings?

People like me...are only suitable to be an assembly line worker.

"How did you come?"

In response to Ibuki Emi's question, Ikari Fumihiko had no answer.

I just felt depressed and wanted to relax, so I walked to the laboratory.

009.Some things always have to be taken care of by someone

"Has the equipment been manufactured?"

"Well, everything is ready. The experiment will begin today. If you can't stand it, you'd better leave now."

Fumihiko Ikari did not answer, but just silently looked at the volunteers in the square who were preparing to participate in the experiment.

“Why should they participate?”

It was the same question, but this time Ibuki Emi gave a different answer.

"Let's contribute our little bit to make this bad world a better place—"

"..."

"You are still young and don't understand. Some things always have to be taken care of by someone else."

"I know."

"Since you know, then you can take over the command! I will be participating in the experiment as a volunteer later."

After a moment of silence, Ikari Fumihiko finally nodded.

"it is good."

"Then the lives of us volunteers are in your hands."

After saying that, Ibuki Emi stood up and walked towards the locker room, and soon changed into a swimsuit.

This surprised Fumihiko Ikari.

Feeling the strange gaze, Ibuki Emi spoke.

"The cockpit will be filled with LCL liquid during the experiment, so it will be more convenient to wear a swimsuit."

"I was wondering why you were wearing this school swimsuit."

"if not?"

"I thought you were going to wear a bikini."

Ibuki Emi gave Ikari Fumihiko a speechless look, "You're thinking too much! I can't accept that kind of fashion, and I'm not that bold... Well, speaking of bikinis, when Wei went on a date with her senior on the beach, she tried it privately but gave up in the end. But one time when I went to her house, I saw the bikini she wore was hanging in the yard to dry.

It seems that the bikini limited edition Wei should have been successfully unlocked by the senior. "

I didn't associate the unlocking screen with anything, but the scene of Ikari Yui feeding Ikari Shinji emerged in my mind.

He was there to report on his work and happened to see this scene.

It’s Mashiro——

He quickly shook his head to drive this holy image from his mind.
