Chapter 87: The Fifteen Apostles
Chapter 87
NERV Beijing Branch
Since the second impact, the Forbidden City behind Tiananmen Square has been built by NERV, but the ancient architectural styles are still preserved, but when you enter this palace, the content is an advanced city of science and technology
Ikari Hong, who came out of the NERV branch, sighed: "I really didn't expect such a big change"
"What's changed? Have you ever been here? Ma Tumo narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the slender back of the figure walking in front of him, his eyes dark
Ma Tumo has never known why Ikari Hong, who is obviously Japanese, can speak Chinese fluently than himself, and why this young man who is as famous as himself or even better than himself has different feelings for his motherland
"I've never been here, it's my first time in China, but I feel like I've been here more than once," Ikari thought for a moment and organized his language
Ma Tumo didn't stay on this topic for long, and said calmly, "Since the No. 3 plane has been successfully sent to China, shouldn't we go back?" ”
"Since the No. 3 aircraft are all here, is there any point in you, the exclusive pilot of the No. 3 plane, going back to Japan?" Ikari Hong turned around and asked
"What do you mean," Ma Tumo's voice grew colder
"It's nothing, I just think it's the same if you don't go back" Ikari Hong waved his hand and chuckled, "Why did you take gunpowder?"
Ma Tumo snorted coldly: "To be honest, I really don't like you very much, and I even say I am a little disgusted"
Rei Ayana, who had been standing beside Ikari Hong, frowned when she heard this, and her face was dissatisfied
Ikari Hong still smiled, and no longer continued to say anything with this handsome young man, grabbed Li's hand and strode forward
"It's hard to come to China once, how can you just stay for so long and leave"
…………………………
At some point, a large, unidentified mobile creature appeared in the orbit of the satellites around the Earth
NERV Headquarters, First Issuing Office
"The image of the Apostle has been captured, now taken at the maximum telescope coefficient"
When Misato arrived, she looked at the situation on the screen with a grim expression
On the screen, a bird stays quietly in the atmosphere, level with the artificial satellite, and the dazzling white light emanates from the inside out of the creature's body, as if the entire body is formed by this dazzling white light
"The Apostle has been refusing to leave the planet's orbit, what is the reason?" muttered Hinata as she stared at the screen
Misato clasped her hands on her chest, stared at the fifteenth apostle on the screen, remembered the empty angel that had attacked, and said uncertainly: "Could it be waiting for the opportunity to descend and approach?" ”
Misato thought for a moment and said, "Or maybe you don't need to descend to destroy this place?" ”
Hinata turned around and said helplessly: "It seems that we can't act rashly."
Misato smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, if we don't let the Apostle go into range, we can't do anything about it, EVA can't attack the enemy in the orbit of the satellite at all"
Hinata nodded and shook her head again
Aoba coughed lightly: "Ikari Hong is not here, Liz is not here, the first machine has been sealed, and now I can only send Asuka to drive the second machine to attack"
Shinji Ikari, who was not wearing a combat driving suit, heard this, and couldn't help but say, "Asuka's nearest body..."
"I'm fine!" Asuka was dressed in a fiery red driver's suit, and without waiting for Shinji to finish speaking, she dragged it aside and said, "Send me!" ”
Maya Ibuki glanced at Makipo, who was standing behind him with a confident smile on his face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Asuka, if you're not feeling well, you can still let Mary go"
Asuka pursed her lips, her self-esteem of not allowing to be touched made her want to shout no a few times at this time, but after going through so much, she also grew up and resisted the urge to get angry, and said softly: "No need, I'm not used to the strange atmosphere on my second plane"
Maya stopped talking, and Mahipo gently put his hand on Maya's shoulder, smiled and shook his head at Maya, who was looking at him
Ritsuko, who was so delicate, couldn't see that Asuka was on the verge of exploding, so she stood between Asuka and Maya without leaving a trace, but she didn't speak
Asuka restrained her anger and said calmly: "Asuka asks to drive the second plane to fight"
Misato stared at Asuka's beautiful blue eyes for a long time, nodded, and ordered in a deep voice, "The second machine is dispatched, prepare for a long-distance attack"
After looking around at the surrounding drivers, Misato continued, "Shin Hippo is piloting Zero to support Two."
None of the remaining drivers at the NERV headquarters had a chance to contribute
Shinji Ikari stood beside Misato and kept walking around, restless; Nagisa Kaoru smiled, didn't wear a driver's suit, and stood aside casually, looking like he didn't care about himself
"That's... Can't the first machine be dispatched? Shinji Ikari asked in a whisper as he walked up to the head of operations, Miri Katsuragi
Misato nodded and said, "Freezing the first machine is an order from Commander Ikati"
Looking at Ikari Gendo, who was sitting at the highest part of the command post, Misato thought to herself: If that happens, of course it will be frozen
Shinji followed Misato's gaze, and his father sat there expressionless
"I see," Shinji said slowly, and then left the first order station with very light steps
"As long as you protect the second machine, right?" Mary, who was already sitting in the zero machine, said through the microphone
"That's right, you can go to the rear of the second machine"
Zhen Xibo held his glasses with his hand, and the corners of his mouth went up
"It's an unfamiliar smell, but it smells good if you have an LCL."

China
The capital here is much livelier than the Third New Tokyo City, which is much more deserted than the Third New Tokyo City, which has been at war with the Apostles for many years, and the residents who live there have moved to other cities
On the streets of an ancient town, persimmon trees are scattered on both sides of the road, and clusters of bright yellow fall on the branches, adding a bit of harvest flavor to the whole street
At this time, dusk has passed, and the moon is on the top, and the people of the ancient town are walking in cool clothes, lively but not noisy
In this quaint street, a couple of men and women with similar faces walk hand in hand into a teahouse-like restaurant, where guests sit in pairs and sip a few glasses of wine or a cup of tea
The restaurant was quiet, and the sound of people chatting was not deliberately amplified
Ikari and Rei Ayanami find a place by the window and sit down
Ayanami took the menu that Ikari took from the table and looked at it, while Ikari looked around with a smile
"Even after two shocks, the ancient style can still be preserved here"
Rei Ayanami looked up at Ikari who was in a very happy mood, and put the menu back on the table
"Don't have anything you want to eat? The food here must be delicious," Ikari picked up the menu
Ayanami blinked, and said in a harmonious voice: "You order, after all, you should be familiar with this place"
Ikari Hong looked around for a moment and whispered to a waiter-like person, "Hello, here is an order."
The young girl waitress trotted a few steps to the table with a small notebook, and a sweet smile appeared on her face: "Hello, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Ikari Hong's mouth twitched when he was about to open his mouth, and Ayanami 'poofed' and covered his mouth and chuckled
Ikari shook his head, as if as soon as he put on looser clothes, some people who didn't know him would see him as a woman. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info for this, Ikari Hong doesn't care about this anymore, after all, if you are always angry because of this, it is estimated that sooner or later you will be angry with yourself
ordered a few side dishes with clear meat and vegetables, and asked for a pot of tea and eight taels of spirits
"Is that all?" The girl blushed, listening to Ikaru's voice, how could she not know that this beautiful 'young lady' was actually a man
Ikari smiled and nodded
The young girl waitress took the menu away and bowed slightly to Ikari Hong, "I'm sorry, sir, before..."
Ikari Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's get busy"
The girl stuck out her tongue cutely, nodded embarrassedly again, and trotted away
Ikari Hong touched his cheek, looked at the opposite Li staring at him with a smile, and smiled bitterly
Ayanami propped her delicate cheek with her hands on the table, looking out the window at the scenery and the passers-by
Rei Ayanami looks at the scenery, and Ikari Hong looks at Rei Ayana
Suddenly, the two of them tightened their hearts and looked up at the sky
"Apostle"
"Apostle"
The two looked at each other in unison
Rei Ayanami couldn't see it with the naked eye, but she could feel the huge aura floating in the orbit of the satellite
"Do you want to go back?" Ayanami said softly: "This apostle doesn't seem to be weaker than the previous one, and it may even be more tricky"
Ikari Hong gently shook Li's hand, looking at the impenetrable clouds with the naked eye, his red eyes gradually turned scarlet
After a long time, Ikari Hong withdrew his gaze, picked up the liquor on the table and took a sip
"They don't have to go back, they can handle it, besides, it's too late to go back now"
Ayanami sighed, looked at the two cups on the table, hesitated, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in small sips
After drinking the liquid in the cup, Ikari said with a smile that it is more convenient than Japan in that there is no prohibition on alcohol before the age of eighteen

Third, the city of New Tokyo
The downpour poured down from the thick clouds and hit the ground hard
This rain was very untimely and fell at the time of the arrival of the fifteen apostles
At this time, it was already late at night, the moon in the sky was tightly obscured by dark clouds, and the second and zero machines stood in the night, their huge bodies looking exceptionally clean after being hit by the raindrops
Above the clouds, the Fifteen Apostles hovered silently in the orbit of the satellite like a glowing blue phoenix, wings shaped like some kind of strange branch or coral
The apostle has a small angelic aura above it, and below it, there is a ball of light that is even brighter than its body, which seems to be its S2 mechanism
Misato looked at the strange appearance of the fifteen apostles on the screen, and her heart became more and more uneasy, although the previous apostles were also strange and different, but they all had an exact solid form, even the previous night angel, it would not be like this one, as if the whole body was some kind of light, without a solid form
It seems that this apostle could not be counted or defeated in the usual way
