I participated in the development of EVA

'As long as EVA cannot obtain the SE mechanism, this power can be controlled by humans.

Without external energy supply, EVA is like a car that has run out of gas.

and so……

This concern was unfounded from the outset.

I know this explanation cannot completely convince you, and you still have this and that kind of worries, but have you ever thought about one question! ? In addition to this, do we humans have any other choice? ! No! Now humans have no choice but to implement the e-plan! ! The research was successful——

Civilization continues, and we humans don’t need to live under the shadow of the Third Impact!!

Even if I fail——

We at least represent all of humanity...

Fight for it!

Fight for it!

Whether it is failure or success, it is acceptable, at least we humans have made our own choice!

Fight!

fighting!

Until the last drop of blood is shed!'

It was these words that ignited the passion in people's hearts, causing so many scholars to give up everything and use their lives to illuminate the way forward.

It took two years to create an impossible miracle.

The e-plan, a crazy delusion that seemed as impossible as a fairy tale, gradually became a reality.

Just as Ikari Yui was distracted by these past events, Ibuki Emi walked in from outside.

As soon as he walked in, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Did he talk to you on the phone?"

Ikari Yui woke up from her past memories and looked at Ibuki Emi from all angles, as if she was looking for some clues.

"No! You were gone for so long this time, I thought you had already handed yourself over to him."

Ibuki Emi had long been accustomed to Ikari Yui's unconventional thinking, and was not angry at her offensive words.

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you about which position is more comfortable."

Ikari Yui smiled.

“Others may not understand, but I don’t know it?”

There were so many metaphors that Ibuki Emi was so choked that she didn't know what to say.

"I'm a little curious now. You were there for so long this time. What did you talk about with him and what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. I just begged him for help. Well... I used a little bit of power to get him to agree to have supper with me at 8 o'clock tonight."

"Dinner date? Isn't this trick of yours too old fashioned?!"

"Since you knew this was an old trick, why did you fall for it?"

"Uh……"

Ikari Yui was choked. Ikari Gendo used this trick to make the matter a done deal. Every time she recalled this, she felt a little bit wronged and that there was a lack of romance.

He argued for himself stubbornly.

“The road wasn’t old at all.”

"Ah, yes, yes."

The progress she wanted to know was already known, and Ikari Yui didn't want to continue on this topic.

Otherwise the more you think about it the more you lose.

"He just called."

100. Porcupine

"I have already understood the plan, but it involves confidential information, so I cannot reveal the specific details to you..."

Ikari Yui hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not tell the truth.

The fewer people who know about human cloning, the less risk of exposure there is.

Ibuki Emi anxiously interrupted Ikari Yui's subsequent speech.

"Let's just say the conclusion."

"Can try."

Ibuki Emi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she wanted to know the specific details, she also knew that no matter how much she pestered Ikari Yui, she would not reveal it.

"When will it start? Who will be in charge?"

"We haven't discussed the details yet. I, Dr. Ito, and Fumihiko will be jointly responsible for this."

“When will it be confirmed?”

Ikari Yui thought for a moment before speaking.

"Don't worry. We need to confirm the specific situation first. Is it a mental problem or a problem with the soul plan? Then we can determine the follow-up plan."

Ibuki Emi naturally knew the subsequent procedures.

Wait for Dr. Ito to come over. If he cannot diagnose the problem, we will start experiments to verify it indirectly.

It is a very dangerous thing to connect mentally with the EVA that possesses the core. Before the establishment of this project, only one of the dozen or so testers did not suffer backlash, and the rest all died without exception. This survivor is the official pilot of Unit 00 who has been confirmed.

"Can't we just do a startup test?"

Humans are emotional animals, and Ikari Yui is no exception. If an unfamiliar person made this request under such circumstances, Ikari Yui might agree.

After all, the expert Fumihiko Ikari has already made the conclusion.

"Emi, be reasonable."

Ibuki Emi knew that she was too anxious, but she still replied stubbornly.

"I'm very sensible."

Just as Ikari Yui was about to say something, her cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone and took a look at it, and his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

It was a message from the top management.

The content is very simple, just three words.

[Promise her. 】

Looking at the content of the text message, she glanced at the surveillance camera in the office, then looked at her friend, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"In that case... prepare yourself, um... and start the test tomorrow."

Ibuki Emi naturally noticed Ikari Yui's actions and also glanced at the surveillance camera.

Is there any high-level attention?

That should be the case... otherwise, Ikari Yui's attitude wouldn't have changed so quickly.

What a bunch of voyeurs.

Ikari Yui sighed.

"Go back and have a good rest. Don't leave any regrets."

Although it is endorsed by expert Fumihiko Ikari, the risks of doing so are still considerable.

Postponing the experiment until the next day was the only thing she could do.

At this moment, Ibuki Emi's heart began to waver, and she thought of a problem that she had previously ignored.

If I really had an accident, what would my grandfather do in the future?

perhaps……

Am I really too anxious?

wrong!

Ibuki Emi shook her head.

My grandfather seems to be fine now, but no one can be sure whether there is a risk of sudden death due to the loss of soul.

If an accident really happens, it would actually be a good thing.

Her eyes became firm again, because this meant that Professor Yamaki only had mental problems.

Grandpa could remember me again... Never mind, it’s better not to remember me.

Professor Yamaki lost part of the scholar's memory, which also caused her, who had a close connection with the scholar, to be forgotten. It was not complete forgetfulness, but the relationship between the two was restored to the state before the second impact. She was uncomfortable with that indifferent attitude, and what was even more difficult to accept was that even if she had forgotten the source of the resentment, Professor Yamaki still hated Ikari Fumihiko.

That's why she was so anxious.

Ikari Yui noticed that Ibuki Emi was wavering.

"It's not too late to regret now."

Even if the top leaders have issued instructions, this matter cannot be implemented if the volunteers are unwilling to cooperate.

Ibuki Emi immediately shook her head.

"So be it."

Ikari Yui nodded with some difficulty.

really……

The connections between people are the source of pain.

If the two were not familiar with each other, she would definitely not have too many thoughts at this moment. After all, the E-plan was able to achieve such results in two years, basically by piling up human lives.

"Do you know why I decided to give birth to Shinji? To bring him to this purgatory."

Without waiting for Ibuki Emi to answer, Ikari Yui started talking on her own.

"It's the fruit of love, and it's also a desire to satisfy my desire to become a mother, but it's more of a selfish choice.

When the research just started, people died in almost every experiment... no, almost every day.

There are experimental accidents, explorations into the unknown, and even mental breakdowns and suicides.

Familiar and unfamiliar people disappeared before my eyes one by one, and death was like a dark cloud pressing on my heart. At that time, I was afraid every day, afraid that I would be the next, afraid that the third impact would happen at the next moment. I could only dispel the uneasiness in my heart through desire. When I learned that I was pregnant, I was really... very happy.

Not happy about the pregnancy itself.

It’s because I finally have a reason to escape and don’t have to face things in the outside world.

So I had my first argument with Yuantang. He felt that this time was not suitable for childbirth, but I really couldn't stand it at that time and just wanted to avoid everything in the outside world.

It was not until the moment Shinji was born that I realized what I had done... Because of some selfish thoughts, I brought a new life into this world that could be destroyed at any time. Every time I thought about how he might not experience anything after coming to this world and would face death, I felt very guilty and painful. "

Only then did Ibuki Emi know why Ikari Yui wanted to have a child.

At the same time, I also understood why my personality changed so much before and after giving birth.

It's not that women are weak, but they are strong when they become mothers.

This is……

Already crazy.

I want to comfort Ikari Yui, but I don't know how to start.

In this world, everyone is like this, struggling to live in pain. How can a person whose heart is filled with pain comfort another person whose heart is also filled with pain! ? ? Just like what Ikari Yui is doing now, she clearly wants to persuade Ibuki Emi not to be impulsive, but in the end she says such words that only make people feel depressed.

It took a long time for Ikari Yui to come back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions and accidentally said some useless words."

Ibuki Emi shook her head.

"No, we are friends, best friends who have been together for more than ten years. If you don't talk to me about your pain, who else can you talk to?"
