It's another sunny day

Third, the city of New Tokyo

"I won the lottery!"

Dressed in casual clothes and carrying his beloved guitar, Aoba took out a bottle of drink from the vending machine and watched a young girl happily walk past him with a prize ticket

After the successful annihilation of the Eighth Apostle's Fetal Angel, Ikari took the initiative to give all the NERV personnel who participated in the last battle a three-day family leave as a post-war reward, which gave the NERV employees a lot of spare time

"This way, the monthly laundry bill will not be wasted," said Ritsuko Akagi and Maya Ibuki, who were also dressed in crisp casual clothes at the self-service dry cleaners next to the vending machine, and took out their clothes from the washing machine

"I wish I had time to do my own laundry," Maya said to Ritsuko-senpai with a smile as she held a large pile of folded and packaged clothes

"It's nice to be able to get home," Aoba said as she approached the laundry room and heard Maya's complaints

………………

Ritsuko, Maya, and Aoba board the train to Nerv

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a white-haired old man sitting on a seat in the subway with his waist straight, reading the newspaper with Erlang's legs crossed

The old man just sat there casually, as if giving people an invisible majestic pressure

"Oops, Deputy Commander," Ritsuko blurted out in surprise, surprised to see Fuyutsuki here

The winter moon lowers the newspaper a little

"You're early" Ritsuko looked at Fuyutsuki's serious eyes, said hello gently, and then turned around and sat down not far from Fuyutsuki with her clothes

"You're early!"

"You're early!"

Behind Ritsuko, Maya and Aoba, who are the managers of the fourth layer of the NERV pyramid, can't be as casual as Ritsuko, only to see the two of them standing upright, raising their heads and chests, not squinting, and greeting each other with a nervous face

"Well, early"

Dongyue looked up at the two trembling people standing in front of her, replied lightly, covered her face with the newspaper again, and continued to read

The two exhaled with relief, and even though there weren't many people in the subway early in the morning, they didn't choose to sit in their seats

Click...

The doors of the subway were closed again

"You're up so early today," Ritsuko said as she sat down and leaned her back on the back of the subway seat, squinting at Fuyutsuki, who was sitting there reading the newspaper

"Because I want to listen to people instead of Ikari," Fuyutsuki sighed with the newspaper, closed her eyes and complained

"Oh, by the way, today is the regular meeting of the Council," Ritsuko suddenly realized, it turns out that at this time of the year, the United Nations Council brings together the leaders of the world's giant organizations for its annual year-end summary meeting

"Boring work, that guy used to always push chores on me!" There was a slight resentment in Dongyue's tone

And the reason why Dongyue is angry is because NERV, as one of the few behemoths in the world, has offended all other organizations, and every year at the regular meeting, other organizations will point the finger at NERV, which shows that Dongyue's trip this time is self-evident

"If Magi hadn't been there, I wouldn't have been able to do anything."

"Hearing you say that, it seems that the election of a new councillor is coming" Ritsuko is like a little girl in front of Fuyutsuki, and she is not as restrained as the Maya duo on the side now

"The parliament is just an empty shell, no matter what, the political work here is actually done by Magi" Dongyue fully expressed his disdain in words after hearing the selection of parliamentarians

"Oh, are those three supercomputers?" Maya stood aside and couldn't help but ask

"With these three computers doing the majority voting, this system can be said to be completely based on democracy," Fuyutsuki praised the supercomputer created by Naoko Akagi, and put away the serious side, and said with a smile

"Is the council just acting according to its decisions?"

"This is the least time-consuming and most efficient politics," Dongyue explained as she picked up the newspaper again and read it, without raising her head

"It is worthy of being a city of science, and modern times are really the era of omnipotence of science."

"Old-fashioned lines," Aoba muttered quietly as she stood beside Maya

"By the way, you're going to do an experiment on Machine Zero today, right?" As if he had just remembered, Fuyutsuki asked Ritsuko, who was cross-legged on the side

"Well, starting at 10:30 today, the second operation extension experiment is scheduled to be conducted, and at that time, Xiaohong will also be present" Ritsuko squinted her eyes and said Ikari Hong, her tone a little unnatural

"Xiaohong, this child, no matter what, as long as it involves Li, he will become more serious than anyone else, for fear that something will go wrong" Dongyue looked at the newspaper, thinking of this young man who had been very proud of him since he was a child, and inadvertently showed a kind smile

Ritsuko was in a trance and did not respond to Fuyutsuki

……………………

NERV headquarters

Machine Zero starts the lab

At this time, the zero machine was fixed in a huge experimental field, and the huge body that was originally yellow was painted with a layer of blue

A shrill alarm was accompanied by flashing red warning lights, and the screen in front of Ritsuko displayed the words 'Extraordinary Situation'

"Cut off the experiment, cut off the circuit" Before Ritsuko could speak, Ikari Hong, who was wearing a white robe on the side, preemptively said

Boom...

The lights of the entire test site were extinguished, and the sirens that had been blaring all the time stopped stopping

Ritsuko looked at the young man in front of her expressionlessly and didn't say anything more

"The circuit has been cut off," Maya's voice came through the stereo

"Restoring power" Aoba is also responsible for his own work in his own position

A high-tech screen in front of the Mayan seat displays a series of data, one of which is shown in red

Ritsuko walked up behind Maya with a cup of coffee and looked at the screen full of data

"Here's the problem"

"Yes, the conversion efficiency is 0.008 lower than the theoretical value, which is very worrying," Maya said, staring intently at the anomalous red data

"It's just barely within the calculation of 0 errors, what should I do now?" A male staff member in a NERV uniform in the lab turned to Ritsuko

"Use the same settings to lower the mutual conversion value by 0.01," Ritsuko said as she put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and calmly looked at the blue-painted zero machine in the experimental field

"Understand"

"So, let's start the experiment again"

……………………

Bite...

The elevator door to the War Department opens automatically

"Hey! Wait a minute! …”

Misato's figure appeared inside the elevator, and outside the elevator, he shouted loudly while running all the way

Misato's expression remained unchanged, maintaining an expression as if the blessing of rushing towards the elevator was a cloud of air, and pressed the elevator door close button

Seeing that the elevator was about to block the blessing that was rushing towards here, the blessing finally reached out a hand to block the door that was about to close before the elevator door closed

"Whew... It's finally time to arrive," said Blessing after blocking the elevator and walking straight in, panting

Misato sneered unhappily

The elevator continues upwards

In the elevator, it was easy to stop breathing, straighten his waist, beat his waist with his hands, and hummed deliberately

"Whew, I'm so tired of running, you don't seem to be in a good mood today."

"It's all because I came early in the morning to see your face," Misato said in a weird voice

The blessing chuckled

………………………

Honk... Honk... Honk...

"Hello, this is NERV, what's the matter with you?"

"Please help me transfer to Commander Ikari"

The home of Ikari and Rei Ayana

Shinji Ikari took his brother's phone and dialed the nerv line

Shinji Ikari finally made up his mind to call his father under the watchful eyes of his brother and sister-in-law on the side

"Please wait," said the officer on duty on the NERV phone shift on the other end of the line

After a while, a voice sounded that Shinji longed to hear and was afraid to hear

"What's the matter?" Ikari Gentang's unkind voice came from the phone

"That, that... Dad: "Shinji's nervous personality has not changed as soon as he talks to Gendo Ikari

"What? Something to say! ”

“……… That one... Actually, today the teacher asked me to convey to the parents... Today there is a symposium to discuss the issue of going to school" A few words, Shinji spoke for nearly two minutes, and Ikari Hong, who was reading a book on the sofa with his arms around Rei Ayaba, noticed that Shinji's hanging right hand clenched and released vigorously, and the nervous appearance made Ikari Hong roll his eyes

"I've already given full authority to Katsuragi about this kind of thing, or it's okay to find your brother, don't call me because of this kind of boring thing, don't keep pestering me if it's okay" After Ikari Gentang finished speaking indifferently, he didn't wait for Shinji to say anything, and hung up the phone directly

Shinji held the phone with a busy tone, and looked at Ikari Hong with a smile on the side

"Well, I'll find a time to visit your school," Ikari said to his brother as he shrugged his shoulders and leaned back on the sofa and wrapped his arms around Rei Ayana's slender waist

Shinji looked gloomy and didn't say anything

………………………

The scene returns to Nerv's elevator

Just as the two of them stared at each other, a mechanical jamming sound sounded

Misato looked up and saw that the elevator lights that were supposed to be on were pitch black

"Is there a power outage?"
