Chapter Fifty-Eight: There Is No Turning Back

Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 58

In a dimly lit room, ten mysterious stone slabs surround Ikari Gendo, who is sitting motionless at the table

"It's not going to work, it's too fast, and it's going to let it invade the central nucleus," Slate No. 3 said in a weird voice

Slate Four continued: "If there is contact, all plans will be in vain."

Ikari Gendo said with an expression on his face: "The report to the committee is a false report, and there is no fact of the apostolic invasion."

At this time, the No. 6 slate, which Ikari Hong had always hated the most, continued to sneer: "So, Ikati, are you saying that there is no fact of the invasion of the Eleventh Apostle? ”

Slate Seven's shrill voice warned, "Please be careful what you say, Ikari, perjury here is a death penalty"

Ikari Gendo glanced at the No. 7 slate coldly, and said lightly: "It's okay for you to investigate the records of Magi, but this fact is not recorded."

No. 2 Slate sneered: "Don't talk about this kind of laughing dead people, isn't it what you are best at concealing the facts?"

Behind the No. 9 slate, Ikari Hong looked coldly at the various slabs present, and the rain and dust on the side were as if they had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow on his face from beginning to end, and in the same way, he didn't say anything

"The schedule is exactly as recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls"

After hearing what Ikari Gentang said, No. 1 Slate said majestically: "The script is already messed up, but the main line has not been disrupted due to some variables, so this time it will bypass you."

Slate No. 1's voice changed and he warned, "But you don't have the qualifications to rewrite the script."

Ikari Gendo nodded at the No. 1 slate and explained lightly: "I know, it's all in accordance with Selle's script."

……………………

After the last sterilization experiment, Ritsuko once again proposed a body swap experiment between drivers, with the participation of Shinji Iki and Rei Ayaami, Asuka did not participate because the second machine was different from the other two models, and Ikari Hong, as the universal driver of the three EVAs, would also conduct experiments in each EVA after the two experiments

In the cockpit of the first plane, Li sat quietly on the soul seat in a pilot's suit, and felt the so-called replacement experiment with her eyes closed

At this time, Rei Ayanami felt her body clearly as if her soul was out of her body

Who's this? … Is this me?

I am... Rei Ayana, but why do you think I'm not me...

I'm myself... I am me, but what am I?

It feels so weird... I felt my whole body start to dissolve

My form faded away, and I felt like someone who wasn't me... Is it the apostle he spoke of? The apostle within me?

Is there anyone ahead?

Major Katsuragi... Dr. Akagi... Everyone... Asuka... By the way, there is also Ikari Hong

Ikari's beautiful face was displayed in Rei's mind, and he remembered that he once said solemnly, "You are Rei Ikaminami's Ayanami"

I am... Rei Ayanami's Ikari Hiro

Suddenly, it was as if a green eye was staring at you, who are you?

Who are you?

………………

Rei Ayanami slowly opened her eyes, and then she remembered that she was experimenting with changing planes in the first machine

"Leigh, how do you feel? First time on the first plane"

Rei listened to Ritsuko's words and replied softly, "It's weird..."

Why do I feel as if there's a soul watching me, hallucinating?

………………

Inside the institute, Ritsuko stood behind Maya's seat, leaned her hand on her chair, looked at the data displayed on the screen, and said, "The co-tone value is almost exactly the same as when it was in machine zero."

Maya continued, "The individual modes are also very similar to the zero and the first machine."

Ritsuko nodded: "That's why it's possible to be in tune."

On the other side, Misato and Ikari Hong were chatting casually, looking at this side from time to time, with an inexplicable worry in their eyes

"The error of the positive and secondary values is between 0.03, the resonance value is not abnormal, and the experiment is smooth"

Ikaru's voice came to Li's ears through the microphone: "Hard work, Li, come up"

"Hmm"

………………………

On the contrary, Shinji didn't have much abnormality in Machine Zero, but due to his nervousness, he couldn't achieve the synchronization rate in the first machine

"Really, what's there to be nervous about, wouldn't it be nice to do this kind of thing easily" In the second machine, Asuka also finished the resonance value experiment, and couldn't help muttering when she heard Shinji's condition

Misato's electronic dialog box flashed in the cockpit of the second plane, and Misato smiled wryly and said to Asuka, "But Shinji just can't do it?"

Asuka shrugged her shoulders and asked, "But then again, I really don't have to participate in the body swap experiment?" ”

Ikaru's voice came: "No, the structure of the second machine is different from the other two EVAs, so it doesn't resonate in tune, and you don't want to drive other EVAs."

Asuka said angrily: "I don't want you to sit on my second plane again, I'm the exclusive driver!" Exclusive! ”

Ikari Hong touched his nose and said stupidly: "Whatever, anyway, it's the same whether I participate in the experiment or not"

Ritsuko ignored the conversation of several people, looked at the smooth data on the screen, and muttered, "Now you can carry out that plan"

Hearing this, Maya raised her head and looked at her senior with an ugly face and said, "Are you talking about the simulation system?" Even though I'm in front of my seniors, I'm stillβ€”" At this point, Maya paused, because she knew that her seniors understood what she meant

Ritsuko's face did not change, and said lightly: "I can understand that you can't accept it, but it is necessary to prevent it from happening, after all, it is for the safety of human beings..."

Maya stopped, and then said, "...... I respect my seniors very much, and I will do my job well, but I still can't accept it."

Ritsuko stared at the screen intently, and said slowly, "Cleanliness is very hard, especially living in a crowd"

Speaking of this, Ritsuko sighed and said in a complicated tone: "You can feel it when you feel dirty"

Ritsuko's words made Maya's eyebrows tighten, and Ikari Hong on the side also threw a puzzled look at this side when he heard it

"The Third Continuum Begins"

"Self-psychological map, very stable at the moment"

Inside Zero, Shinji closed his eyes tightly, and his body began to tremble slightly

"The A-point nerve is starting to continue" Ritsuko's words came out, and the one-eyed head that had been lowered before the blue zero machine slowly lifted up

"Ahh … This is... What the?! Suddenly, just as the nerves began to connect, Shinji's mind suddenly had a lot of images

Ikari Hong's grim expression when he first conducted the zero machine start experiment because he was worried about Rei's safety

When he was a child, he left him with his father...

Seeing the injured Rei Ayanami and turning into a terrified Ikari Hiro...

Since childhood, he has surpassed himself in all aspects... Ikari Hong, who took away what he should have...

…………………

Suddenly! Shinji's mind showed the hideous and eerie smiles of Ikari and Rei Ayana

Shinji felt only dizzy, then his consciousness began to blur, and finally, his eyes went dark

Machine Zero let out a loud roar and struggled uncontrollably

Misato heard a loud noise and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?!! ”

"The manipulator's nerve impulse is abnormal, and mental pollution begins to occur!" Maya said in a panic

Ritsuko said incredulously, "How is that possible? It's impossible at this depth."

Maya looked at the data and hurriedly said, "It's not the cockpit, it's the erosion from EVA!" ”

Machine Zero struggled out of the machinery that had imprisoned its arms, staggered a few steps to the explosion-proof glass for observation, and trembled vigorously as it clutched its one-eyed head

"Machine Zero is out of control!"

Ritsuko commanded in a deep voice, "Pull off all the circuits!" Cut off the power! ”

After the power was cut off, the zero machine switched to the standby one-minute power supply, and at this time, I saw the one-eyed blue giant who had lost control step by step in front of the observation glass, and on the other side of the glass, Li just quietly looked at her exclusive zero machine EVA, and had no intention of dodging

"Machine Zero rejects Shinji?" Ritsuko's brows furrowed, puzzled

"Nope! It's Shinji who rejects machine zero! ”

Maya looked back nervously and said, "The drain device won't start!" ”

Ritsuko looked at the familiar picture and was stunned: "Is it the same as that time again?" ”

I saw Machine Zero stretch out its huge fist and slam it in the direction of Rei Ayana

"Leigh! Xiaohong! Get out of the way! Danger," Misato shouted as she looked anxiously at the indifferent two

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

It was about to break through the explosion-proof glass in front of the two

Just as Ikari was about to condense the energy in his body to protect the two, Unit Zero stopped, and the last power supply was finally exhausted

Li quietly looked at the slumped machine zero, and said softly, "Could it be that machine zero wants to kill me?" ”

Ikari shook his head and gently hugged Rei, who was wearing a white driver's suit

"Don't be fooled"

……………………

At dusk

Ritsuko is called alone by Misato to the empty conference room

Misato crossed her arms and asked, "Is that incident with Rei last time related to the runaway accident just now?" ”

Ritsuko put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and said calmly, "I can't say anything yet, but it seems that I need to reset the data to zero and then perform the cohomology value of machine zero as soon as possible."

Misato said coldly: "In my capacity as the Minister of Operations, I request that this matter be dealt with quickly and as a matter of priority!" Before it gets in the way of work."

Ritsuko nodded, "I know, Major Katsuragi"

Misato didn't say anything, and left without saying hello

Ritsuko stood motionless, stunned

It's me who Unit Zero wants to beat... It must be

Special ward for nerv drivers

Ward 101

Shinji screamed and sat up from the hospital bed, gasping for air

After being stunned for a long time, he lay on the hospital bed again weakly, and muttered to himself: "It's this ceiling again..."

"Are you awake? Shinji? How does it feel? Asuka, who was wearing a fiery red driver's suit, had been sitting in front of the hospital room, quietly waiting for this introverted boy who had been trying to protect herself

Shinji lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling above, and whispered, "Am I incompetent, Asuka..."

………………

"Shinji-kun has regained consciousness and has not left any sequelae of pollution, and he doesn't seem to remember anything about what just happened," Hinata put down the communication phone from the hospital and turned to Misato

Misato's face, which had been cold since the accident, was slightly better when she heard Shinji wake up, but after hearing Hinata say, 'Shinji doesn't remember the previous accident', her eyes were full of inscrutable meaning

"Really?"

………………………

Inside the hospital room

Asuka clenched Shinji's hands and looked at this boy who was introverted and inferior but dared to say 'I like you' loudly to himself

"Don't think about it, you're already very powerful, so powerful that I have to work hard to catch up with you..."

Shinji looked at Asuka with emotion

Asuka immediately frowned, and said suspiciously, "But... Do you know what kind of person Rei Ayanami is? ”

Shinji shook his head and whispered, "I only know that she is the person my brother cares about the most, and for the rest, Miss Misato and Mr. Blessing didn't tell me"

"Really? What a mysterious and strange person..."

…………………

Syllable!

A crisp sound echoed in the huge command room, which was the sound of Dongyue, as the deputy commander, playing shogi by himself with a chess game

"The apostolic invasion outside of the schedule, after the news leaked, Seele also began to put pressure on us, what a bunch of people who are so bored that they can only complain..."Fuyuki said to Gendo Ikari who was motionless beside him while looking at the chess game

"All the killer features are on our side, they can't do anything, so naturally they will be a little anxious" Ikari Gentang's voice was very calm, but he could easily hear the trace of disdain from it

"Even so, it's best not to mess with them," Fuyutsuki continued to walk the pieces on the board according to the game, reminding "For Seele, it will be a lot of trouble if he officially comes forward now"

"It's okay, since the script is already messed up, it's a complete mess"

"What happened to the accident at Zero? There is no such episode in the so-called script."

"It's okay, it won't affect our script, and the zero machine has completed the synchronization with Leigh from the beginning"

Dongyue looked at Yuantang without a trace, and sighed secretly, "You still care too much about Xiaohong and Li."

"What about Adam? Are you really ready to stay? ”

Ikari Gentang was silent for a while, and then he didn't say much

Dongyue took another step and asked, "What about the spear of Longinus?" ”

"It's up to Ikari Hong, as for whether he will act according to the plan, I don't think I have to worry."

Dongyue took a deep look at the immovable Ikari Gendo and sighed

"Sure enough, Xiaohong's appearance made you change a lot of the plot that had already been set."

The corners of Ikari Yuantang's mouth rose slightly, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes

…………………

The lowest level of nerv

Central dogma

Ikari leads Rei Ayanami to a huge cross where a white-masked giant is imprisoned

"I really didn't expect that my father had deceived everyone, and I thought it was the First Apostle Adam, but later I learned through a very useful collaborator that it was the Second Apostle 'Lilith'," Ikari explained softly as he pointed to the white giant with only the upper half of his body left

Rei Ayanami looked at the second apostle who seemed to be summoning herself, and said calmly, "The collaborator you said is the one who came from the projector that day?" ”

Ikari nodded

"You think that sealed soul mark in my body is its consciousness?" Rei Ayanami asked aloud as she stroked her chest

Ikari Hong snorted, and then said lightly: "Some things, which can be predicted, are one thing, but to stop it, it's another thing."

Ayanami Rei blinked cutely, looking dazed and didn't know what Ikari Hong meant, Ikari Hong smiled and scratched her delicate and cute nose, and said softly in Chinese: "Such a good girl, do I want to marry you or marry you or marry you?"

This girl, who secretly taught her proficient Chinese language in order to make the man she liked happy, heard this, and her cheeks were red

Ikari Hong immediately grabbed it out of thin air, and a scarlet double-headed gun appeared in his hand

"I really didn't expect my father to give it to me" Ikari Hong turned a gun and muttered to himself, "I can't understand him more and more"

What the hell do you want to do? Father...
