CHAPTER XXII

A week after the last time the zero machine went berserk again, except for Rei Ayana, who took leave to recuperate at home, everyone's lives were back on track

The doorbell rang at Ikari Hong's house, Ikari Hong didn't go to work in the nerv organization for the past few days, and he didn't ask for leave, in his words, he didn't lack money now anyway, and he went to work in the office, and in this case, it was better to take care of Li at home (‵▽′) ψ

Ikari put down a Chinese novel, came to the door and opened the door

"Brother..."Shinji Ikari greeted Ikari with a smile as he held his schoolbag

"Yo, why are you here, come in, come in" Ikari Hong dragged Shinji into the room

"Drink something" Ikari opened the refrigerator

"Uh, anything goes⊙_⊙" Shinji came to Ikaruhong's house for the first time and was a little surprised to see the slightly luxurious furniture here

Ikari took a jar of orange juice and walked over to the sofa and handed it to Shinji who was seated

"Say, what's the matter" Ikari picked up the Chinese novel again

"It's... That..."Shinji took out two Nerv's internal bigwig identity cards, the identity cards had a magnetic stripe, and it was absolutely impossible to enter the Nerv organization without this kind of pass

Ikari Hong snatched it over, complaining and said, "Isn't it just that the pass has been renewed, did you bring it to me, why did you talk and stumble?"

Shinji stumbled and replied, "And... That one... And my sister-in-law's pass."

Ikari rolled his eyes and reached out and tapped Shinji's forehead

"Li, have you finished taking a bath, there are guests at home!" Ikari shouted at the lighted bathroom

"Oh, right away," Rei Ayaami's delicate, ethereal voice came from the bathroom

The bathroom door was pulled open, and Rei Ayanami walked out wearing a wide white bathrobe and a towel to wipe her hair

"Hello sister-in-law..."Shinji stood up exaggeratedly and bowed to Rei Ayanami

“7……… 7 Rei Ayanami tried hard to smile at Shinji, but when she heard Shinji call her sister-in-law, she was still a little embarrassed, so she stood in embarrassment

Ikari Hong is helpless 1.1

Today is the day when Machine Zero has been repaired, and Rei's injuries have also recovered under Ikari Hong's spell

After Rei Ayanami returned to the bedroom and dressed up, she came to Nerv with the two brothers Ikari Hong and Shinji, and the three of them on the road could chat for a while without a word because of the adjusted atmosphere of Ikari Hong, of course, Ikari Hong talked a lot, Li Tian talked less, and Shinji was shy and introverted... But all in all, the atmosphere is quite harmonious

"Sister-in-law," Shinji said

"Hmm" Rei got used to Shinji's title a little

"Today is the day when the zero machine will start again, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?" Rei Ayanami asked rhetorically

"The previous start-up experiment of Machine Zero..."Shinji's voice became quieter and quieter

"No," Ayanami said lightly, her hand with the ring gently holding Ikaru's hand, and said in her heart...... This time, it must be fine, and Hong can't be worried again

"But, aren't you afraid of fighting the apostles, how dangerous it is," Shinji said with deep feeling, the last time he fought, his nerves were tense, and not a single cell in his body was trembling

Rei Ayanami didn't answer, she was silent for a while, and asked out loud, "Don't you trust your father and brother's work?"

The impression that Ikari Gendo gave Ayanami Rei has always been an elder, or that he is regarded as a father, and the truth that Ikari has transmitted to Rei since he was a child is that filial piety comes first, and because Ikari Gendo saw Ikari Hong's feelings for Ayanami, since Ikari left the headquarters to go to the German branch, he has always treated Ayanami Rei as a future daughter-in-law, and even wants to ...... before his plan succeeds After all, Ikari Hong is one of the few people who can even only influence Ikari Gendo's mood

Shinji was stunned for a moment, and when he mentioned Ikari Gendo, he turned his head and said angrily, "Trust? Hmph, that kind of father......"

Hearing this, Rei Ayanami turned her head and looked at Shinji Ikari coldly, turned to face him, and looked directly into Shinji's eyes

Shinji sensed anger in Rei's cold red eyes

Ikari Hong frowned slightly

Rei Ayanami raised her hand, snap!

The slap that should have been hit in Shinji's face was blocked by Ikari Hong's hand, grabbed Li's fair-skinned jade hand, and said in a harmonious voice, "He's still young, don't care"

Rei Ayanami turned away, not looking at Shinji

Ikari Hong held Rei's hand with one hand and touched Shinji's hair with the other, "Actually, my father is also in trouble."

Shinji scratched his head inexplicably, just now, why was my sister-in-law angry......

"What the hell is going on..."Shinji muttered quietly

……………

NERV headquarters, the third test site

"Haven't you gotten rid of gas yet? Belle? Ikari looked at Rei Ayana, who was still sullen, and gently pinched her fair face

Rei Ayanami looked at Ikari Hong's eyes of the same color as herself, pushed away the hand that was making a mistake on her face, and glared at Ikari with disgust

"I just think he doesn't understand you and your father is so ignorant"

"Yes, yes, our Jiali is the most sensible and the best, right ^_^," Ikari joked with a smile

Li rewarded Ikari Hong's big eyes, her pretty face was slightly red, and she trotted all the way to the locker room to change her driver's uniform

…………………

"Leigh, are you ready?" In the main control room, Ritsuko asked

"Yes," said Rei Ayanami in Unit Zero

"Li, relax, I'm here" Ikari Hong also stood in the main control room and grabbed Ritsuko's microphone

"Then let's begin," Ritsuko rolled her eyes and gave the order, "Now start the restart test of machine zero, and start the first contact." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"First Contact Begins"

"Connect to mains," Ritsuko nodded to Maya.

"Breaking through the tipping point in the power supply," Maya's sweet voice reported

"Contact between machine zero and the driver begins."

"The pulse is normal."

After a dazzling burst of light, Ayana's eyes appeared in front of the scene of the third test site.

Li, you must not have anything to do this time, otherwise I will not let you be in danger again even if I reveal my strength to Elle in advance anyway...... Ikari clenched his hands nervously

"There is no problem with syncing."

"The central nervous system is normal."

"No error correction in the calculation."

In a tense and orderly voice, Li gently stroked the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, feeling a sense of relief

Just after the two gave their first kiss to each other for the first time, Ikari Hong personally replaced the ring with the word 'Hong' written on his index finger to his ring finger, and said with a smile, "Now, you can't run away"

"2.5, 1.7, 1.2 ...... from the absolute critical line"

With Maya's voice, Ikari Hong, who was standing on the side and watching, only felt that his heartbeat began to accelerate, and the green tendons held by his hands behind his back were flooded,

Ritsuko also took her eyes off Machine Zero at this time and looked at Ikari Gendo.

"0.2, 01, breakthrough, beyond the critical line," Maya said

Ikari Hong took a deep breath and finally returned to his calm appearance, Misato looked at him, snickering in his heart, and wanted to tease him a few words, but Ikari Gendo was present, so he had to give up

"Machine Zero Start"

"Understood," Leigh said softly

Ritsuko looked at Ikari Hong and Ikari Gendo who were present, and her psychology was filled with a trace of sourness, and Ikari Hong happened to capture this detail thoughtfully

………………

A shrill cry came from the sea

Thirdly, on the waterfront of the new city of Tokyo, a blue prismatic crystal is slowly drifting towards the city

It was like a giant sapphire, unusually beautiful, with an angelic circle of light floating directly above it, looming with an eerie and piercing sound

Dongyue came to the back of Ikari Gentang and said solemnly, "Ikati, there is a UFO approaching the headquarters, I'm afraid it's the Fifth Apostle."

…… Thunder Angel, Ikari Honggang, who learned that Ayanami Rei had successfully launched the experiment, was relieved, and sighed after hearing Dongyue's words, alas, when will these apostles be eliminated, and then the aftermath of Elle will be eliminated, and he will be able to take Rei and his family to live a quiet life

"According to the drone detection, the surveillance object has passed through the security line"

The image of a huge sapphire-like flying object is displayed on the screen of the main control room

"Unknown flying object analysis complete, pattern is blue, confirmed to be the Apostle" Aoba looked at the data on his work computer, and turned back to report to Misato Katsuragi, the chief of operations behind him

"Let the first machine go out" Ikari Gendo maintained his signature movement, lifted his glasses, and said in a calm tone

"Only the first machine? Didn't machine zero start successfully? Misato asked, looking back

"The zero machine has just been started, and it is not very stable" Ikari Yuantang glanced at Ikari Hong, who was reading a book without leaving a trace, and his tone remained unchanged

As the deputy director of the War Department, Ikari Hiroshi is honestly a fictitious position, and he basically holds the gray-yellow book and keeps looking at it every day when he goes to work, and Ritsuko and Misato sometimes laugh and say, 'You're about to become a little bookworm'

"I see, EVA is ready to go!" Misato nodded, put aside the doubts in her heart, and gave the order to dispatch

"The target has invaded the sky over the third Tokyo city, and the first aircraft has been replaced with ground-to-air attack equipment, and it is ready, please instruct" Hinata reported to Misato after checking that it was correct

"Attack!" Misato gave an order, and the first machine that had been prepared was bang! It ejected with a thud, and Shinji, who was sitting in the cockpit, seemed much calmer at this time because he had a combat experience

"A high-energy reaction occurs inside the target!" Aoba was in charge of monitoring the apostle's movements, and when he noticed the anomaly, he immediately reported it loudly

"What?!" Misato was taken aback

"Stop firing!" Ikari Hong stood up abruptly and commanded loudly

"It's too late," Maya replied, busily tapping on the keyboard in front of her

I saw that the huge sapphire-like body of the Thunder Angel on the screen gradually changed from the shape of the octahedron, divided into two halves from the front, and the triangle at the edge gradually shrunk, forming a huge rectangle that moved closer to the middle, turning into an hourglass-like form

The S2 mechanism in the center of the hourglass glows brightly, and powerful energy is visibly concentrated in the center

Ikari Hong stared at the screen solemnly, even after a breakthrough in his mental power, he could only avoid its edge in the face of such a powerful energy

"A huge convergence of unknown energies!" Aoba looked at the data in front of him, and his tone began to panic

At the same time, Shinji sat in the cockpit of the first machine and the first machine under the huge momentum of the catapult plate, and went straight to the third Tokyo city, which had already changed into a fortress battle mode, but before Shinji could manipulate the first machine to leave from the fixed stand, he only heard a strange scream coming from the direction of the thunder angel

With a piercing and strange sound, the huge energy condensed from the red core of the Thunder Angel Center that transformed into an hourglass form became even more dazzling, and immediately, a dazzling and scorching particle cannon shot towards the chest of the first machine

The particle cannon pierced through the armed buildings, and then hit the chest of the first machine, and the purple armor on the chest of the first machine was quickly melted by the scorching heat

In the cockpit, the LCL solution boiled due to the ultra-high temperature of Thunder Angel's particle cannon, and the yellow solution was filled with gurgling bubbles

The sound of a shrill alarm and Shinji's screams reached the main control room

"The synchronization rate has fallen to the lowest!" Maya hurriedly reports the condition of the first machine

"Hmm... Yes!! Shinji's hastily unfolded A.T force field could not stop the Thunder Angel's powerful attack, and at this time he only felt that he could not breathe, and his chest seemed to be attached to a burning red iron block

"Quick! Cut the nerve link! Eject the cockpit! Ikari ordered anxiously

"No, if the pilot is not there, the first machine will not be able to deploy the A.T force field, and the first machine will be scrapped" Ikari Gendo spoke up to stop Ikari Hong's order, and his tone was indifferent and calm, as if Shinji was not his own child

"He's your son! Father! The corners of his eyes cracked, and he yelled and pleaded

Ikari Gendo was silent, and the employees in the main control room naturally did not dare to disobey the orders of the organization's number one commander, Ikari Commander

Bang! Ikari Hong slammed his fist on the table and looked at Ikari Gendo coldly

Under the strong physique of Ikari Hong after being tempered by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the table in front of him was knocked to pieces

The members of the organization watched their noses and noses, and continued to be busy with their own affairs, and the strength of Ikari Hong's beyond ordinary people brought a very strong visual effect to everyone when the zero machine failed to start the experiment a few days ago, and the cockpit door that was forcibly removed by Ikari Hong with his bare hands brought a very strong visual effect to everyone, so they were not surprised by the broken table next to them, and they couldn't say anything more, Commander Ikari they couldn't afford to provoke, and Deputy Minister Ikari Hong They also didn't dare to offend

"Xiaohong, don't be like this" Miri tugged at Ikari Hong's arm

"Ahh Miss Misato, let me out, brother! I don't want to drive this thing," Shinji screamed, screaming in pain

"Deploy your defensive armor!" Misato was extremely busy ordering

A thick steel plate rose not far in front of the first machine, briefly blocking the attack of the Thunder Angel

Shinji just felt a little more relaxed, and in the distance, the shape of the Thunder Angel's hourglass began to change rapidly, shrinking inward into a cross box, and then spreading outward into the shape of a four-pointed star, the core of the center split into five, suspended in the four corners and the center, and let out a strange cry again

The four small red balls scattered in the outer ring simultaneously emitted a laser bolt condensed in the center, and with a piercing scream, a laser cannon that was more powerful than just now shot out towards the first machine again

When the second particle laser cannon touched the defensive steel plate in front of the first machine, the straight light exploded into a huge energy cross

The tempered defense plate could not stop the terrible impact at all, and it exploded, and the powerful particle cannon once again hit the tattered body of the first machine

"Poof... Yes... Yes! Let me out! Elder brother! Save me! Shinji spat blood and screamed

"Shinji-kun!" Misato was so anxious that he hurriedly ordered, "Forcibly take back the first machine, ignite the blasting nails in this area, and seal off all that part with armor plates!" ”

Hinata glanced at Misato in surprise, but still carried out the order

Once the blasting nail is detonated, not only the location of the EVA is located, but also a large area will fall, and the loss can be imagined

Boom! Boom! Boom! ……

The entire area was ignited with underground blasting nails, and with it, a piece of ground with hundreds of buildings sank into the ground where the NERV headquarters were located

The first plane was successfully forcibly recovered, and Shinji fainted in the cockpit and his life and death were unknown

After injecting a piece of Heaven and Earth Vitality into Shinji's body, Ikari Hong ordered the paramedics to take him to the emergency room

When the Thunder Angel saw that the first machine had escaped, his body changed for a while, and he returned to the previous sapphire state, and several pieces of armor came back together and made a metallic sound after they came together

With another cacophony of sounds, a corner beneath the Thunder Angel's prismatic body suddenly spun and extended downward, stabbing into the ground like a drill

"The target is right above the organization's headquarters! Action has already been taken! Hinata said loudly

"Are you planning to attack the team headquarters directly?" Ritsuko said incredulously

In addition to the building of the shelter above the NERV headquarters, it is also covered with twenty-two layers of Gnash armor, and it is impossible to drill down directly, but at this time the Thunder Angel did so

"The target is in contact with the first armored version," Aoba reported

"What about the situation," Ritsuko and Ikari asked in unison

"Drilling slows down, but armor can't stop it, it's still going downward"

Ikari Hong frowned and said nothing

"How is that possible?" Misato lowered her body to look at the data on a Hyuga computer, and was extremely surprised

"It uses the A.T force field at the source," Ritsuko said in a deep voice, observing the images on the screen

Very tricky apostles...... Ikari thought to himself

As Ritsuko said, on the drill bit below the thunder angel, a circle of colored halos lingered around it, and although the drill bit kept drilling downward, the groove of the drill bit did not spill stone chips, but from time to time sprinkled some golden debris outward

"Ikari..."Fuyuki seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by a wave of Ikari Gentang

"Then, I'll leave the battle plan for the Apostles to the two of you, Captain Misato and Lieutenant Ikari Hong," Ikari Gendo said to the chief and deputy head of the War Department

"Yes!" Misato replied

Ikari was silent

Ikari Gendo pressed on the command platform, and the command platform began to descend, and when it rose again, Commander Ikari and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki were nowhere to be seen

To be continued.........
