"Well, let's read the information first. "Serious matters, Shinji can only pretend to be stupid to avoid Misato's teasing.

Misato has in his hands the basic information of the selected driver. There are quite a few of them, there are 50 of them, and the common denominator is that they were all born in 2001. They are all selected from millions of outstanding middle school students across the country.

For some unknown reason, large-scale tests have shown that adolescents and girls born in the year of the second shock have the highest synchronization rate of A10 neural connections with the body, and they are all concentrated at the apex of the normal distribution curve, and the concentration is very high.

These candidates also have to go through a variety of strict professional training, layers of screening to be promoted to the official driver, and the final standard is estimated to be only in single digits.

Shinji quickly flipped through the information, and as soon as he skimmed through it, he could keep the relevant information firmly in his head.

"Why, seeing that you are so nervous, are you worried that your position will be challenged?" Misato asked.

There is no doubt that the first machine controlled by Shinji is currently the strongest combat power on the planet.

"EVA driver is a job that can cost me my life if I'm not careful, and I wish someone would take my place!" Shinji retorted.

"Then why are you in such a hurry to find out the situation from me?"

"I'm not at ease because of others. Shinji looked at Misato and said, "I'm worried that the newbie will drag us all to death." ”

"Then don't worry, after all, I'm an operational commander and won't let this happen. Moreover, the high-level also knows what is at stake, and they are more afraid of death. Misato said.

"That's right...... Huh?"

Unexpectedly, on the last page, a familiar name appeared, and Shinji couldn't help but be stunned.

"What, you've found an old acquaintance?" said Misato, who suddenly leaned over and laughed.

"How did she end up on the list?"

"Kirishima's real name is a young soldier secretly selected by the Strategic Self-Defense Force, and this is also the news I just knew. The shortlist is set above, and I can't interfere with it. Misato got up and returned to the leather chair behind her desk, stroked her chin, and said, "It seems that she approached you for another purpose." ”

"I see...... "Shinji pretends to know nothing. But I kept thinking back to my real name's shy and warm smile, the helpless little expression and unhesitating action, as well as her seductive body fragrance and smooth skin...... It's hard to forget.

"Why, you're still obsessed with people, aren't you?" Misato looked skeptical, "You didn't make any mistakes in the first place, did you? ”

"Uh...... Only a little bit. Shinji said with a weak heart.

"What?!" Misato was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed Shinji by the collar and said viciously, "You even concealed it until now! What information did you leak to her?"

"It's just some inconsequential experimental data...... "Shinji had to be honest.

Misato is worried that Shinji confesses to her old bottom under the temptation of beauty. Shinji explained for a long time before he dispelled Misato's doubts. Of course, those shameful things he did with his real name didn't dare to say anything when he was killed.

"Good thing you weren't stupid!"

"Don't you underestimate my IQ, okay?" Shinji said helplessly.

"Oh, when a man thinks with the head below, where does the IQ come from. ”

"You're prejudiced!"

In order to avoid Misato's recitation, Shinji can only flee in the wilderness.

As for the training of new drivers, it is not something that can be completed in a short time. Shinji is confident that even if those people are one-in-a-million geniuses, he is not afraid of any challenge. After all, now he is no longer what he used to be, and he is no longer the frightened rookie.

……

The dimly lit room, surrounded by cold metal walls and windowless, was humming with a ventilation fan that constantly pumped in the humid air inside.

Ayanami sat at the head of the bed, poured a handful of white pills in his hand, and put it in his mouth, bowing his head and chewing silently.

The teeth rubbed against the hard and dry pills, and the sound was like chewing stones.

Knock knock!

"Ayana, are you there?"

"Wait...... Please wait a moment. ”

Hearing this, Ayanami hurriedly threw the pill box into the drawer, then took a large sip of water and swallowed the medicine in his mouth.

"Ikari-kun, you're here. ”

Ayanami opened the door and quietly looked into Shinji's eyes.

Seeing Ayana, whose hair was a little messy in front of her, but did not hide her delicate face, Shinji was stunned for a few seconds, and then gently hugged her.

"It's good to be alive, I thought I'd never see you again. ”

Ayaami's hand subconsciously pressed against Shinji's chest, and slowly put it down again.

"Ikati-kun, welcome back. Ayanami replied softly.

Shinji looked into her eyes, her long, straight eyelashes trembling slightly, a little dodging Shinji's fiery gaze, obviously a little shy, and his heart melted. There was an urge in my heart to rub the person in front of me into my body.

"Have you been busy lately?" Shinji took Ayana's hand and returned to the room.

"The zero machine uses new equipment and more testing work. ”

Ayanami began to clumsily boil water, intending to make tea.

"Don't be busy, talk to me. ”

Shinji noticed a thin layer of dust on the kettle, apparently unused for a long time. Under normal circumstances, in addition to entertaining guests, Ayanami rarely boils hot water, and drinks water directly to the faucet, which is the standard of drinking water anyway.

There was only one lone chair in the room, so they both sat on the edge of the bed.

At this time, Ayanami was wearing the loose school uniform, with her legs together, her hands on her knees, and she was carefully next to Shinji, making her look more like a guest.

It seems that getting along too closely, Ayanami is a little difficult to deal with.

Shinji observed Ayanami and suddenly noticed a little white powder on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but lean over.

"Don't move......" Shinji gently wiped the corner of Ayana's mouth, and then sniffed the powder on his hands, a little bitter. "Did you just take your medicine?"

"Hmm. Ayanami covered her lips, her cheeks slightly red, and nodded slightly.

"Haven't you been feeling well lately?" Shinji asked.

"It's all right. ”

Due to the need to maintain her body, Ayanami's medicine cannot be stopped, otherwise it will cause a big problem. Shinji knew, so he didn't ask too much.

"Ayana, you defeated the sixteenth envoy, that's why you saved me, thank you so much. ”

"Ikari-kun also saved everyone...... But...... I'm not good enough, or you wouldn't be ......"

"Ayana!" Seeing Ayaami's self-reproachful appearance, Shinji couldn't help but hold her hand and put it to his heart.

"Did you just feel the beating? Anyway, I'm alive and kicking now, okay, don't say that anymore. ”

Feeling the powerful beating of Shinji's heart, Ayaami raised her head and looked into Shinji's eyes, "Thank you, Ikaru-kun." ”

"What was that battle? I heard that there was a rampage on Zero. ”

"I don't know, it's a blurry memory. Ayanami said with her eyes downcast.

"Okay. ”

This is consistent with what Shinji knows, and he doesn't know if Ayanami is hiding something.

"My concern is that the cockpit will cause harm to your body once it exceeds the maximum insertion depth. ”

"It's okay, Ikati-kun, don't worry. ”

In fact, Ayaami's body has deteriorated since the last time she went berserk and killed the Angel of Strength. Unprovoked fever, weakness, insomnia, headaches, fatigue and drowsiness continued to torment her fragile body, which could only be maintained with more medication.

Ayanami is extremely resilient inside, and she intends to bear it silently, not wanting Shinji to know.
