I participated in the development of EVA

Fumihiko Ikari was confused, and Dr. Ito was even more confused. This aspect had completely exceeded the scope of medical expertise.

Although she is an expert in the entire mind incubation project, the only thing she can understand is the concept of mind incubation. It's not that she doesn't want to understand it in depth, but other aspects besides the concept transcend the current scientific framework and enter the field of mysticism. After all, it involves the abstract concept of soul that science cannot understand so far.

Fumihiko Ikari was still worried.

"Come back and take a look at the situation."

"okay."

Although he had not rested all night, Dr. Ito still planned to go back to the Lingbo project team to check on the situation before returning to the dormitory to rest.

After all, there are other projects to participate in tonight.

111. Destroy Evidence

After Dr. Ito came back, he first checked on Rei Ayanami's condition.

"There's nothing wrong with it. This is a normal phenomenon of consciousness incubation. Well, you can think of her current condition as that of a newborn baby."

She has no idea what's going on in this situation and can only make judgments based on her experience.

Ikari Fumihiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"In simple terms, it's growing a brain?"

"That's understandable."

"How long will this last?"

You think too highly of me...

If you can't understand the problem, I don't understand it either!

“I don’t know. There is no relevant data.”

In fact, Fumihiko Ikari also knew that the concept of spiritual incubation was too mysterious, and asking these questions was just embarrassing others.

Dr. Ito didn't give Fumihiko Ikari any chance to ask further questions.

"How's the situation over there, Hyacinthus?"

He was in such a hurry to change the subject that he was obviously afraid that Ikari Fumihiko would ask other questions.

Ikari Fumihiko felt a little embarrassed again.

"Uh... yeah, everything is normal..."

Doctor Ito's heart suddenly sank. No way! I asked you to help keep an eye on it, and it's only been one night... and something happened?

I hurried to the Hyacinth Project Team to check the situation.

Not long after, Fumihiko Ikari, who was hiding in the office, was visited by Dr. Ito.

"As far as I know, there didn't seem to be any meeting last night?"

Dr. Ito had completely lost his usual servile demeanor, and his tone and attitude now clearly showed that he was angry.

Ikari Fumihiko knew that he couldn't just fool around, nor could he tell the truth at this time.

"It's an internal meeting of the Unit-00 project."

Dr. Ito did not understand the situation of the Unit 00 project team and could not find any reason to refute.

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment, then spoke again.

“The organization is short of funds now, so we have to cut some projects that are not meaningful.”

Although he couldn't tell whether the news was true or false, Dr. Ito couldn't help but get nervous.

The Hyacinth Project is a vassal of the Ayanami Project. Now that Rei Ayanami's consciousness has begun to hatch, the Hyacinth Project has basically lost its meaning of existence.

"The Hyacinth Project can enhance our understanding of the mind and help us unlock the mysteries of human consciousness."

Even she herself felt that these words were not convincing.

"Team leader, this project cannot be cut."

Ikari Fumihiko simply responded.

"It depends on the situation."

Dr. Ito knew that the Hyacinth project did not take up many resources, and whether it would be cut depended mainly on Fumihiko Ikari's attitude.

"Sorry, I was too impulsive just now."

Fumihiko Ikari did not want to cancel the Hyacinthus project.

"That was not what I meant."

He did not mean to force Dr. Ito to apologize, he just wanted to change the subject. He was in a bit of annoyance and did not think much when he spoke.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to explain again.

“I just want to use this news to prove to you that I really went to the meeting.

I learned the news at the meeting.

Well, I just said this to prove to you that I went to the meeting, and also to remind you to prepare in advance."

Dr. Ito immediately breathed a sigh of relief, not because he believed what Fumihiko Ikari said, but the fact that Fumihiko Ikari was willing to explain the situation to him meant that Fumihiko Ikari had no intention of canceling the Hyacinth project. As long as Fumihiko Ikari did not want to cancel the project, the organization would not cancel it even if it really faced a funding shortage.

"I will achieve results as quickly as possible and minimize the use of human resources."

The Hyacinth project does not require any additional resources now, it just takes up some manpower.

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"It's a good thing to see a doctor and save lives. I support you."

"Your character remains as noble as ever."

Even though he knew that this was just to please him, Fumihiko Ikari was still very happy.

Why are you talking nonsense? If you can speak, just say a few more words.

Dr. Ito resumed his usual servile attitude.

"You are busy, I won't disturb you from working here."

"Ah."

Not long after Dr. Ito left, Fumihiko Ikari's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Emi Ibuki.

Before answering the phone, I subconsciously glanced at the clock.

It's already half past eleven.

The person who spoke was not Ibuki Emi, but her personal assistant.

"Dr. Ibuki has woken up."

"What about her?"

"Uh...well, in the shower."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused.

Isn't it just taking a shower? Why are you so hesitant?

"Wait until she's done washing, and ask her to call us in person."

"OK, all right."

Only after seeing her personal assistant hang up the phone did Ibuki Emi dare to speak.

"Hang up?"

“Hang up.”

"He knows?"

"It depends on which part you're asking about."

"that is……"

Ibuki Emi lowered her head in shame.

The personal assistant knew that if she didn't tell the truth, Ibuki Emi might not be able to get over this hurdle.

"I asked my senior, and she said that you were drunk and used the closet as a bathroom. It was obvious that he didn't realize what you did specifically last night."

Ibuki Emi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately."

"I'm curious, what did you do to your closet last night?"

Ibuki Emi made up an explanation casually.

"It's nothing, actually. I just woke up in the middle of the night and was a little curious about whether he had any collections of that kind."

"It's just like this, you won't be too ashamed to face others, right?"

"That's all!"

"Okay! Just treat it as such. It's getting late now. You should get up and go to work."

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to work once I'm sober."

Ibuki Emi looked very suspicious when she said this.

Although the personal assistant was curious about what Ibuki Emi was hiding, she did not pursue the matter further.

"Okay, I'll leave the change of clothes here."

"Ah."

Before the life assistant left, he remembered that it was time for lunch break and asked again.

"Lunch, would you like me to bring it to you?"

"No need, I can eat by myself."

"it is good."

After the life assistant left, Dr. Ito breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stuffed the bedding into the washing machine to destroy the evidence.

Not until the water in the washing machine completely soaked the bedding did he finally feel relieved. However, he still felt a little uneasy. He got up and checked carefully to make sure there was no other evidence left. Then he went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into the clothes brought by his life assistant, and then called Fumihiko Ikari.

The call was quickly connected, and Fumihiko Ikari's voice came from the other end.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

"You really know how to pick the time. It's just right for lunch break. In that case, let's chat while eating."

Ibuki Emi was a little afraid to face Ikari Fumihiko now, but she still responded with gritted teeth.

"Uh...ok...where should I find you?"

"Just wait for me in the dormitory."

112. Envy

The central air conditioning had almost eliminated all the odor in the room, and the only smell in the air was the smell of shower gel wafting from Emi Ibuki's body.

The smell is not attractive, but the fashionable and hot outfit attracts attention.

Fumihiko Ikari always looked at the other person subconsciously, and it took a lot of willpower to restrain himself.

"What's in the washing machine?"

"No...nothing."

Ibuki Emi looked a little flustered.

"I just woke up and threw up on the bed."

Ikari Fumihiko was speechless.
