At the NERV headquarters, the mist was in the public bathhouse, and Shinji was humming a little song while scrubbing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Asuka's "wake-up" treatment plan has come out and is about to enter the in vivo experimental stage.

According to MAGI's calculations, the success rate is still quite high, so Shinji is in a better mood and it is rare to relax.

It's not the time to take a bath, so Shinji is the only one in the empty bathhouse, and he can't help but want to sing.

looked around, and howled: First, I don't want you to worry, second, I don't want you to worry, and third, I don't want you to wear the wrong little sister's flower pocket......

"Hello classmate, can you borrow some soap? Suddenly, a gentle boy sounded in his ears, and he seemed to be familiar.

The singing came to an abrupt end.

Shinji was startled, and turned his head to see that it was Kaoru Nagisa.

At this time, both of them were bare-assed, and the other looked at Shinji with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

The atmosphere froze for 5 seconds, and Shinji finally reacted. With a tense face, he pointed to the shelves with an expressionless face and said, "Take it yourself." ”

After speaking, he quickly pulled a bath towel to protect his lower body and prepared to slip away.

"Wait......" snapped, and a hand suddenly put on Shinji's shoulder.

Shinji suddenly bounced up like a fertilized kitten, flashed into the corner with a snort, and said with a wary face: "Just talk, don't move your hands and feet." ”

"Haha, sorry. You're Shinji Ikari, the third qualifier, right?" Kaoru Nagisa said with a big grin.

"Stop, don't move!" Shinji quickly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Kaoru Nagisa looked herself up and down, but didn't notice anything wrong.

"I'm not used to being so close to naked men. ”

"Oh, are you afraid of me?"

Shinji rolled his eyes and moved quickly to get dressed.

"I forgot to introduce, I'm ......"

"You're the fifth qualified one, Kaoru Nagisa, I know. ”

"Oh, you recognize me?"

"I've read your information. By the way, your eyes are ...... your hair."

"Well...... Nagisa smiled, rubbed her eyes, and pulled out two black contact lenses. When he looked up, Shinji saw a pair of dark red eyes, as if hiding a raging flame.

That's right, Kaoru Nagisa, who has the blood of an apostle, and Rei Ayanami, belong to the same kind of existence. It can be said that it is a god in a sense, and the salient characteristics on the outside are white skin and hair, as well as red hair and eyes.

In order to cover up, Lao Ikari let Ayanami dye her hair blue.

"People here don't seem to like red eyes, so it must have something to do with the last disaster. Kaoru Nagisa stroked her hair again, "Her hair was also dyed gray. ”

Kaoru Nagisa's image has changed dramatically, and that's why Shinji didn't recognize him in the first place.

"You were transferred here to replace Asuka in the second machine, right?" Shinji asked.

"Asuka? Oh, it's the second qualifier. That's right, this is my mission, you know me quite well, have you been paying attention to me?" the corners of Nagisa's mouth began to rise.

"Don't be disgusting, narcissist. Shinji didn't want to be polite to him, so he suddenly asked, "What do you think of the human group?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"You're a genetic modulator, right?" Shinji stared sharply into Kaoru Nagisa's eyes.

"Haha, sort of. These top secrets don't even know about the current acting commander, do you know me very well......"

I don't know what's going on, but Shinji feels uncomfortable when he hears the word "deep". Homophobia? It seems that it is still influenced by the rotten elements of other works.

"You haven't answered the question yet. ”

Nagisa Kaoru thought for a while and said, "I like human beings, human beings are really amazing, they have evolved unique intelligence, but many times they choose not to use them, and they are very chic and casual. ”

Silk was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and Nagisa Kaoru continued to approach and said, "By the way, I met a girl in the morning, who looks like you and is holding your ID card, is she ......?"

"I don't know, I'm leaving. "Shinji fled in the wilderness.

"Wait!" Kaoru Nagisa strode forward, and could hear the snap of Tintin on his lap, and grabbed Shinji's right hand violently.

Shinji turned his head with a frightened expression.

Kaoru Nagisa couldn't help but be overjoyed: "That's right, it was this big rough and powerful hand that pulled me up, I remember! Thank you......"

Shinji shook it off like an electric shock, goosebumps falling to the ground, "Perverted!" and ran away without a trace.

"My blood brother, Shinji Ikari, is interesting, so interesting......" Looking at the direction in which Shinji disappeared, Kaoru Nagisa smiled evilly.

Shinji ran to the bathroom and began to wash his hands so hard that he almost rubbed off a layer of skin.

At this time, the door to the cubicle opened, and the blessing walked out.

"Oh, it's Shinji. ”

The two greeted each other, and Shinji looked him up and down and quipped, "This new uniform suits you very well, Your Excellency Special Assistant, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." ”

"Haha, yes. After washing his hands, he saw that Shinji was still rushing, and said strangely: "What, did you shoot your hand?"

The corners of Shinji's mouth twitched, "It's nothing, I touched something dirty just now." ”

"Oh, I see. The blessing raised an eyebrow and gave him a knowing look.

Damn, this birdman must be thinking crookedly! Shinji was speechless, and when he saw that he was leaving, he pretended to say casually, "Have you found the truth you seek?"

"Huh?" Blessing paused, his expression confused.

"Misato told me about you......"

The blessing quickly made a stopping motion, bent down to look under the compartment, and saw that there was no one else, before he said to Shinji, "Let's talk in another place." ”

Blessing led the way, in a remote corner, opened a door with an ID card, it was dark inside, and when I turned on the light, it turned out to be a warehouse, which was full of goods.

"It's ......" Shinji looked at the label, "stockpiled emergency food." ”

"That's right, this is the combat readiness food for NERV. The last time it was locked down for so long, these foods came in handy. Blessing casually sat on a wooden table, fumbled in his pocket to light a cigarette, and realized that the location was not suitable.

"Katsuragi trusts you so much that I'll tell you about it. ”

"That's right, we are not only superiors and subordinates, but also partners who can trust each other's lives. So, regarding your identity information, Misato did not hide it from me. ”

The blessing took a deep look at Shinji, and he noticed that Shinji had called Misato by his first name from the beginning, which usually happened in very intimate relationships.

"That's right," Blessed's shoulders suddenly relaxed. "My real identity is a spy, ostensibly in the service of SEELE. Your father must know this. It's just that out of the need to use each other, they didn't get rid of me. ”

Speaking of blessings, I saw that Shinji's face was as usual, and he was calm, and he didn't look like he usually jumped out. Perhaps, this is his disguise. He thought.

"Now that my father has returned to the countryside to retire, there shouldn't be anyone to stop you from finding out information, right?" Shinji asked.

"Haha, it's not like Commander Ikari didn't leave a backhand...... Not to mention that, you haven't asked me why I worked as a spy at NERV. ”

"I'm listening. Shinji moved the next box and sat down. He also wondered why the blessing would go to the trouble of finding out the information of SEELE and NERV, and he was not like the Holy Mother like Misato, so there had to be a reason for everything.

"It's all because of ...... Second impact. Blessing looked at the ceiling, his gaze beginning to lose focus, apparently lost in memory.

"After the second shock, the world was in shambles, and billions of people were killed, more than all the human beings in history died of famine and disaster combined. The last outbreak of a virulent infectious disease killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, isn't it terrifying? But compared with the second shock, the scale is not the same. Tsunamis and earthquakes swept the world, cities were destroyed, many coastal nations disappeared overnight, and many more were ordered to collapse, accompanied by hunger and disease......"

Blessing smiled miserably, looked at Shinji and said, "Fortunately, your generation has never been hungry since childhood, and you don't know the fear of death. Can you imagine that after eating all the rats, bugs, and all the other things that can be eaten, people start hunting each other and eating human flesh...... Fragile children become the best prey...... It's just this environment that I'm struggling to survive. ”

These details and the inside story, there are only a few words in the media, and now hearing the description of the witnesses, Shinji feels very heavy. I felt like my chest was clogged, and I was a little out of breath.

"And then?"

"Later, order was slowly restored, and the government gradually took control of the situation. I was sent to an orphanage with a group of friends. My parents died, leaving my brother, who was four years younger than me, to stay with me. Of course, there are countless children who have had similar experiences to us, and those who survive are the lucky ones. However, at that time, there were hundreds of thousands of orphans in the country, and the orphanages were all overloaded, and the government was overwhelmed, unable to eat, clothe, and even have to rob places to sleep. The orphanage is understaffed, and it can't be managed at all, and the rules are very strict, and children die every few days. In this environment, there was no way, I escaped with a few friends and began to fend for myself. ”

"Furiating yourself?"

"Yes, I was about your age at the time, and there were six people including me and my brother. Children, they can't work, so in order to fill their stomachs, they can only steal and rob. ”

"Understandably, it must be difficult, right?" Shinji said.

"Of course, in the days of wandering, they were either beaten or starved. At that time, it was not easy for everyone, and it was the happiest thing to be able to eat. Until one day, we found a military granary full of food. As he spoke, he opened the box next to him and took out a canned fruit, "Just like here." ”

"We were almost crazy with joy as if we had discovered a great treasure. At that time, the management system was not as strict as it is now, and we could sneak in and steal food from time to time. However, it is more risky to act together with too many people, so we send one person to sneak into the granary every day, and everyone takes turns. Over time, of course, it was discovered. Unfortunately, when it was my turn, I was caught by the soldiers who were in ambush. They knew we were a gang, so they punched and kicked me, put a gun to my head, and forced me to tell me the whereabouts of the other partners......"

Speaking of this, the blessing took a deep breath, and his usually frivolous expression disappeared without a trace, and said in a heavy tone: "Shinji, in fact, I envy you very much, at the same age, you are much stronger than me, both mentally and capable. ”

"There are many things that individuals can't decide about their own growth. If you had my conditions, it wouldn't be much worse. Shinji is rarely humble.

"No, some things are innate. At that time, I was very afraid of death, and even if I live to this day, I am most afraid of death. The blessing laughed at himself.

"And then, did you say it?" Shinji asked.

"Well, after being beaten, I still told where we were hiding. But as soon as the words came out, I regretted it, and ran away at the moment when the other party was slack, and rushed into the grass. They also machine-gunned me in the direction, but luckily, they didn't hit. When I went back to tell my friends to escape, all I saw were five bodies lying in pools of blood, with a military truck parked next to it. I'm still late, I'll kill them, and my own brother ......" The blessing described it flatly, but it couldn't hide the turmoil in his heart at all.

Silk sighed, this is the cruelty of reality.

"Since then, remorse and self-blame have gnawed at my heart day and night, and I have even thought about suicide many times...... Later, I changed my mind. The blessing raised his head, "The sacrifice of my brother and his companions has brought me to survival, and I must cherish this life even more." I don't hate anyone, all the pain and disaster are caused by the second shock. If that disaster hadn't happened, no one would have died, and my brother and I would have had a happy childhood and a harmonious family. That's when I started investigating the second impact, and the government's public announcement that it was caused by a meteorite impact was too low and full of loopholes. I found out that there is a force that has been withholding the true information. So, finding out the truth about the second shock is to compensate my brother and companions. Because, there can be no more victims like them......"

"I see. Shinji finally learned the blessed's motive for death.

"Later, I was adopted by a distant relative and sent me to college. It was at that time that I got acquainted with Katsuragi and started dating......"

Hearing this, Shinji began to think in his heart: "It's all over anyway, it's me who greened you...... No, I was forced to ...... too."

"We were indulged in love and overjoyed. Until one day, I suddenly became scared. I killed my brother and them, and now I'm the only one drowning in happiness......"

"That's how you broke up?" Shinji asked.

"The main thing is that I don't want to indulge anymore, and I still have a mission to accomplish. It's the same with Katsuragi...... She was the only survivor of the Antarctic survey team that suffered the second impact, and the only one to see the second impact up close......"

Next, the blessing talked about Miri's life experience.

"Katsuragi sacrificed her father to survive, and I, like her, am not allowed to be happy. Shinji, you have to be good to Shinji's partners and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. With that, the blessing stood up and stretched.

"Don't worry, even if I risk my own life, I won't let this happen. Shinji said firmly.

"Again, with your performance, you won't let us down. Come on, boy!" Blessing patted Shinji on the shoulder and turned to leave.

The confession and encouragement that was blessed just now made Shinji have a different opinion of him. In the past, he always thought that the blessed god was mysterious, and as a three-sided agent, he was not a good bird, and in the end he died in vain.

Out of a man's desire for exclusivity, Shinji was originally worried that he would hook up with Misato and didn't want to care about him alive or dead, but now he has changed his mind.

"Wait a minute, please. ”

"What? Any other questions?" said the blessing back.

"You're in a very dangerous situation, so it's better to be careful. ”

"Haha, I know, I've come to my senses. Maybe dying at gunpoint is my most likely destination. Even so, I will not stop pursuing the truth. ”

Shinji actually appreciated the blessing a little at this time. Digging into his pocket, he handed him a memory chip the size of a fingernail.

"It's ......"

"This is the key to the door of truth, and at the right time, you will know everything you want. ”

"Really, where did it come from?"

"You know that. ”

"Could it be ......" Shinji raised an eyebrow and gave him a knowing smile. The blessing is naturally associated with Lao Ikati, as well as Ikari who participates in the EVA program.

In the end, the blessing will be doubtful and departed.

All Shinji gave him was an access key, which contained top-secret information from SEELE and NERV, including spies and informants they had arranged for government agencies.

If the time is ripe, Shinji will break the news through blessings, and use the power of the official to beat SEELE by surprise.
