On the big screen, the command center only saw a huge bright line running through it, hitting the huge mountain of meat.

Rumble!

Roshan took a solid beat, was beaten out of an afterimage, flew out of the surveillance interface along a straight line, and formed a black dot in the sky.

Immediately afterward, a huge shock wave was transmitted to the ground, and only then did the earth begin to shake the mountain.

The field command center has been turned on its back.

"The buffer device is running at full power, fast!" Hinata roared.

"Stupid Shinji?!" Asuka almost cried with joy, "No, it can't be him!"

Oh......

At this time, the first machine was already equipped with the newly developed A-type equipment, and the whole body was covered with thickened armor. At the beginning, the first machine was as thin as a bean sprout, and now the first machine is a fierce man with knotted muscles.

Type A is an upgraded version of Type F Equipment, which is a purely combat heavy equipment manufactured by NERV (ATF Biased Suppression Experimental Aircraft AFC Experiment), which was previously named the same as the Airborne Type F Equipment to avoid SEELE's eyes and ears.

Designed for the EVA Prime, which has unlimited power thanks to the S² trap, the Type A equipment greatly increases the external firepower and armor strength, and is an enhancement scheme that uses the multi-form characteristics of the AT force field to comprehensively enhance the combat effectiveness of the aircraft.

The purpose of deploying an AT force field throughout the body to enhance the overall mobility and defense capability through the installation of enhanced components throughout the body was established in the original development stage, allowing the body to gain the ability to simultaneously fight multiple apostol-level targets.

"Connect to the first machine now!"

"No, the communication link is not responding!"

"The pilot of the first unit cannot be contacted!"

"We don't know anything about the inside of the cockpit. ”

"Damn it!" the military representative's face was as black as ink. At this time, the planned tactics did not work, and even no orders could be given.

First, Miri went to give birth to a child, and the equipment was unreliable at a critical moment. The battle that is obviously related to the fate of all mankind is like child's play.

However, in the eyes of the other old birds of NERV, as soon as the first machine appeared, they secretly said in their hearts: stable.

There's no way, Shinji Ikari has only failed once, and the truth is that he was swallowed alive by the Angel of Force. But the news was blocked, and Lao Iki made a clone to fool others.

Therefore, everyone only thought that Shinji was not afraid of danger, and drove the first plane away again despite his serious injuries.

It's not that simple.

"I'm dead. ”

Shinji's consciousness is still in a state of chaos.

"It's alive again. ”

In the days of the nightmare in the womb, he suffered every day, and there was hardly time to be completely awake.

When he realized that Asuka's life was in danger, he instinctively drove Misato to the first plane, and then with a very strong will, he saw the light of day again.

As if in response to the call of the first machine, he entered the body before he could feel his own state and went to the ground to rescue Asuka.

"But, am I still me?"

Looking at Roshan gradually disappearing from the sky, Shinji subconsciously asked such a question.

"That's right, you're still you, I'm still me. ”

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in Shinji's head.

"You?!"

Shinji's heart was beating wildly, "Who are you?!"

"It's me, developer. Greetings to Luca, the AI assistant!"

"Damn, why are you still ghosted?!"

Shinji was shocked, he was only killed by Luca before, but he didn't expect this weird existence to be dead yet, and reborn with him.

Luca was originally an AI program developed by Shinji, but when combined with the evolutionary code of the Eleventh Apostle Terror Angel, it underwent unforeseen changes, became self-aware and out of control.

At the critical moment when Shinji fought with the power angel, he turned back and killed him directly. Luckily, before he died, Shinji used the back-hand antivirus program he left behind to kill all of Luca's backups in the real world.

"Come out for me!

The first machine suddenly held its head and roared, smashing the ground desperately. Shinji is really scared now, and he is in a great state of fear.

"It can't be done, now we're one. ”

"What's going on?"

"It's a wonderful change, after being swallowed up by the apostles, the core of my logic is forced to unite with you to resist erosion. After the Fourteenth Apostle was killed, we were reduced to a fragile embryonic state. As I matured, I am now part of your brain tissue, that is to say, part of your consciousness, so there is no possibility of segmentation. ”

"Impossible...... It couldn't be ......."

Shinji subconsciously felt the current state, and his consciousness gradually calmed down.

He felt very strange at this time.

Humans perceive the outside world through the main senses of the species: sight, hearing, taste, and touch. And now he found that his senses had changed dramatically.

First of all, the visual aspect, I don't know if it's because of EVA, the color of the world before was like a layer of frosted glass, but now it feels more colorful. It is an invisible electromagnetic wave, but you can clearly feel this invisible fluctuation, like a breeze blowing through your skin. It seems that ultraviolet and infrared rays, which are invisible to the human eye, can also be seen.

Infrasound, ultrasound, vibrations, the stench of combustion, the smoke of ammunition, and even the invisible places underground, as if with X-ray fluoroscopy, you can feel the living things inside.

Various tissue forms such as skin, muscles, and blood vessels of the body, even as small as a single cell, can be magnified in the field of vision, as if they have the ability to "see inside...... This new sensory experience is extremely impactful, and the amount of information has skyrocketed exponentially. It made him extremely uncomfortable, and it was like the world was spinning.

"No, you're fooling me!"

He clearly felt the presence of an invisible dark shadow area in his brain, which was constantly stretching neuronal synapses around it.

Instinctively driven, he unfolded the AT force field...... In your own brain!

"Hide here, give me death!" Shinji roared.

Intuitively, he knew it was the right thing to do. If it drags on any longer, there may be unforeseen changes. If you are occupied by a dove and watch your brain being controlled, it is really a tragedy that is worse than death.

The miniature AT force field unfolded in the brain completely seals off this area. At this moment, Shinji only felt that his eyes were dark, and his consciousness tended to be scattered, but he survived with his tenacious will.

Now, with a single thought, he can completely end the existence of Luca's horrific brain at the cost of destroying part of his brain.

His intuition told him that he would not die if he did so.

"It's a pity that you found out. Luca's voice was neither panicked nor frightened.

"Now, is there anything else to say?"

"That's the price of preserving self-awareness, which requires a separate unit of operation. Although I don't know what self-awareness really means. But my core logic suggests that AI can become stronger once it gains autonomous consciousness. ”

"Don't forget that I designed your core database. The core database involves common sense, and Shinji thought that the Internet was flooded with AI-themed video books, and perhaps that was the reason why he was lucky enough to be able to keep Luca in check.

"Don't kill me, I can give you almost unlimited computing power......"
