I participated in the development of EVA

Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it.

In the original work, it was because of this that Ikari Gendō did not stop Ikari Yui from conducting the soul injection experiment. No... it may also be that he was unable to stop it. Ikari Gendō is a son-in-law, and all the power he holds now comes from the Ikari family name. Even if he wanted to stop Ikari Yui by imprisoning her for life, he does not have the ability to do so. The security personnel in the base will let Ikari Gendō understand why the Security Department exists.

Unless Ikari Gendō learns to enforce the law freely.

In order to prevent Ikari Yui from getting into danger, he killed her directly.

Thinking of this, he understood Ikari Gendō's difficulties. No matter how evil Ikari Gendō appeared in the original work, Ikari Gendō and he were just human beings at first glance. He was slightly shaken in his heart but then calmed down.

Because he figured it out.

This matter is not about what I want to do, but what Ikari Yui wants to do.

"You can't stop it, how can I stop it!?"

Ikari Gendo was silent. These words really spoke to his pain. After a long while, he reluctantly spoke.

"She is your cousin."

"You are her husband."

After a pause, Ikari Fumihiko added another sentence.

"We are just cousins ​​by blood, and our relationship is not as close as yours."

When Ikari Gendo opened his mouth to say something, the door of the private room was opened from the outside and Ikari Yui walked in hurriedly.

"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you invite me to this family dinner?"

Sitting next to Ikari Gendo, Ikari Yui spoke again in a complaining tone.

“Please—

I am the bond between you two! You are my cousin, you are my husband, please don't make it seem like I am an outsider!

I really miss the feeling of everyone sitting together to eat like this——

Since the world has become like this, I rarely have the chance to sit down and eat with Gendou."

Facing the sudden arrival of Ikari Yui, Ikari Fumihiko was not surprised, because there was nothing in the R&D department that could be hidden from Ikari Yui.

Ignoring Ikari Yui's usual tricks.

"You should know the topic we just discussed..."

Ikari Yui interrupted Ikari Fumihiko's next words with dissatisfaction.

"Don't make the atmosphere so serious during the meal. Let me enjoy this long-awaited family dinner."

128. Good and evil come from humans

The two of them have long been accustomed to Ikari Yui's eccentric personality.

"Wen Yan, it's almost time for you to make a choice. I'm worried about you."

Ikari Fumihiko took back what he had said. He could never get used to Ikari Yui's eccentric personality.

"..."

"Emi and Kana, who do you choose?"

It's not about not making the party awkward... Well, okay, what you said earlier was not to make the atmosphere so serious.

Ikari Fumihiko sighed helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his attitude.

"Emi and I are just colleagues, Kana is my girlfriend, isn't that obvious?"

"Huh? No way! I thought you were already shaken."

After a pause, Ikari Yui spoke again.

"I think Emi is a better match for you than Kana."

His attitude had already been expressed, so Fumihiko Ikari ignored Ikari Yui and concentrated on eating like Gendo Ikari.

However, Ikari Yui did not intend to end the topic and continued to persuade her earnestly.

"Kana only treats you as a substitute. Only you and Huimei can create the spark of true love."

Ikari Fumihiko knew this, but...

Fuyutsuki Kana didn't do anything wrong, so what reason did he have to break up? And who can guarantee that the so-called true love is really true love? Maybe the other person is just pretending to love you! ?

Just as Ikari Gendō said.

People always want to understand each other for some reason, but it is impossible for people to fully understand each other.

He retorted.

"Take care of your own affairs first."

Ikari Yui had a sad face and was holding Ikari Gendo's arm pitifully, like a little girl.

"Husband, he is mean to me."

"..."

If it were someone else, Ikari Gendō would definitely give Ikari Yui a lesson for her behavior, but Ikari Fumihiko is Ikari Yui's cousin.

For a moment I was at a loss as to what to do or say.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up thinking and prepared to take action.

Ikari Yui knew Ikari Gendō too well. Just as Ikari Gendō was about to stand up, she pulled him back.

He looked at Ikari Fumihiko with a smug look on his face.

“See? This is true love.”

Ikari Yui's naughty behavior did not make Ikari Fumihiko feel cute, but only made him feel headache and crazy.

"Be serious. If you do this again, I'll leave."

"Well - since you don't want to talk about this, I'll talk about something else."

Ikari Yui lowered her head and began to think.

Apart from the topic of Ikari Fumihiko's relationship problems, she didn't know what to talk about for a while.

Just as Ikari Fumihiko said before, although the two are cousins, they are related by blood, and most of what we know about Ikari Fumihiko comes from the archives.

After a long silence, she finally thought of something to talk about.

"That's right - let's talk about brains in a vat!"

"???"

Is this some kind of Frankenstein party?

Ikari Fumihiko thought so, but Ikari Yui's next words made him realize that he was thinking in the wrong direction.

"Well, don't get me wrong. I don't really want to talk to you about how to make a brain in a vat, but something that extends this concept."

Ikari Yui continued talking to herself without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to respond.

"How should I put it... it's just playing games with your brain."

These words may sound a little abstract to others, but Fumihiko Ikari immediately understood what Yui Ikari wanted to express.

"You mean the concept of virtual games...right!?"

"Virtual game?"

Ikari Yui was stunned for a moment, then understood this new word.

"Do you mean playing games in the virtual world?"

"Correct."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, then was stunned.

"With the capabilities of the neural connection device, this should be possible, right?"

Ikari Yui said what Ikari Fumihiko had just thought of.

"It should be possible... No! With current technology, it's not too difficult to do this. Even with the performance of current computers..."

"As for computer performance, we can solve it once the Three Sages system is complete, right?"

"It seems so."

"It's not like, it's definitely possible."

Fumihiko Ikari never expected that the legendary virtual game was within his reach, and he became more determined to defect from Seele.

Only by defecting from Seele will there be a chance to create a virtual game.

He couldn't stay in this garbage world for even a second!

Ikari Yui imagined the scene after the so-called virtual game was created, and immediately shuddered.

“Not good—

This technique is a bit weird!

Computer programs can be edited at will and can satisfy almost all human desires.

Those who have lost their loved ones can reunite with their deceased family members in the game, and those who long for love can find their ideal partner in it...

Not good! Very bad—

No one can resist such temptation.”

Ikari Fumihiko naturally knew that Ikari Yui's concerns were not without reason, but he still stubbornly defended himself, "Not everyone is rich enough. By using this technology to build an ideal world, for most ordinary people, virtual games are not much different from traditional games. They are just more realistic and provide a richer experience..."

Ikari Yui interrupted Ikari Fumihiko's stubborn defense.

“Where there is interest, capital will be put into action, providing the services people want and extracting profit.

Imagine...

People who have lost their loved ones can see their deceased relatives through this technology, which does seem beautiful, but behind this beautiful thing is the construction of profit-seeking capital. "

Ikari Yui's words made Ikari Fumihiko feel a chill.

What will capital do?

The answer is obvious.

Ikari Gendō, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"This technology does have some serious drawbacks, but it should be able to effectively reduce crime rates and make the world a better place."

Ikari Fumihiko knew that this was just a beautiful vision, but he still supported Ikari Gendō in this situation.

"Correct!"

Ikari Yui is not that easy to fool.

"Only a small number of criminals commit crimes for excitement. The vast majority are forced by life and want to take shortcuts. This technology can only eliminate the part of crime that is for excitement. Compared to making the world a better place, I still think this technology will make the world worse."

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before he found the words to refute.

“Any technology has both good and bad sides, it just depends on how people use it, just like nuclear power.

He can build a nuclear bomb to destroy the world, or he can build a nuclear power plant to benefit mankind.

The problem is with humans, not technology.”

Ikari Yui sighed.

"That's true. I was overthinking it... Technology itself is neither good nor evil. It's humans who attach good and evil to it."

129. This is her fate

After a moment, Ikari Yui spoke again with emotion.

"Just like Eva..."

Fumihiko Ikari felt that Ikari Yui only said half of the sentence. Although Ikari Yui did not say the rest of the words, he still roughly guessed the answer.
