Chapter 54

The night is as cool as water

In order to fulfill the promise of a big meal, Misato had to take the subway with three drivers and a deputy chief of operations to the top restaurant marked in Asuka's brochure

Coming to the door of this splendid restaurant, Asuka still held the manual in her hand and muttered thoughtfully: "I heard that this can also cook Chinese food, I don't know if there is any delicious food made by that guy."

Misato's smile was a little stiff, after all, although the military rank was promoted, the retroactive salary was still in the Ministry of Finance...

Without leaving a trace, Ikari handed his gold card to Misato and smiled at her who wanted to cry without tears

Misato put the gold card that Yuchen gave to Ikari Hong in her pocket, and her heart warmed, this thoughtful brother can always solve all troubles

…………………

Asuka originally knew that Misato was currently short of funds, and she wanted to let Misato take everyone to a ramen restaurant for a meal, but Ayanami Rei found her in advance and told her to go to a better place with confidence, money is not a problem

The smart and clever Asuka immediately understood that it was Ikari Hong who wanted to have a treat, but it was still very undebunked by Misachiko

The reason why I came to this luxurious restaurant is because Asuka knows that Ikari is never short of money

So when she ordered, she really didn't disappoint everyone, took the menu, didn't even look at the name, and ordered the expensive one......

………………

The efficiency of this restaurant is very high, and in a short time, Asuka's signature dishes are served to the table one by one

There is a spread out Chinese novel in front of the table of Ayanami Rei, who seems to be seeing the wonderful plot, and does not care about eating, so she keeps looking down and reading the book

A pair of chopsticks grabbed a piece of sushi and brought it to Rei Ayaami's mouth, and Rei didn't need to look to know that it was Ikari Hiroshi next to her, and opened her cherry mouth to bite the food in her mouth

But the pair of chopsticks moved to the side hatefully, Ayanami Rei didn't look up, she looked at the moving chopsticks with her spare eyes, and a cute little mouth kept her open posture and moved over

Seeing that cute piece of sushi getting closer and closer to Rei Ayana's small mouth

Rei, who looked down at the book, felt that her forehead was kissed, and after being slightly stunned, she raised her head, and saw Ikari Hong holding chopsticks and looking at herself with a wicked smile

Rei Ayaami rolled her eyes in disgust, and then she couldn't help laughing

On the other side, Asuka held up Shinji's arms and carefully checked whether there was any blood, because the wound from the battle with the empty angel was still tied with gauze at this time

Shinji looked at Asuka with gentle eyes, and suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "The first time I understood the joy of being complimented, and the purpose of my EVA, if I want to protect everyone and protect Asuka, maybe I also want to hear the praise that my father just said."

Misato's eyes softened, looking at Shinji's stupid appearance, and remembering his dead father, they are really similar in this regard, maybe that's why I want to take care of him

…………………

The days that followed were calm again

Shinji was unable to do housework because of a hand injury, so Misato and Asuka had to put down the body of the former eldest lady at home, after all, it was impossible for Shinji to work as an injured person, right? Besides, even if Misato wants to do this unscrupulously, Asuka can't bear it

Rei Ayanami returned home from school today as usual

Ikari was lying on the couch squinting and pretending to sleep, when he heard the door open, he took the book covering his face aside and looked up

Rei slowly sat down beside Ikari Hong

Ikari got up and walked behind Rei and gently rubbed her shoulders

Rei Ayanami hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Why do I feel that there is a mysterious power in my body since I practiced the spell you taught me, and I feel that this power has its own consciousness"

Hearing this, Ikari Hong's face tightened, and he grabbed Li's wrist

Rei Ayanami tilted her head and asked, "Hong, can you tell me that I am an apostle?" ”

Ikari was silent

Rei Ayanami tugged at the corners of her mouth and said bitterly, "Is there an apostle in me?" Or am I an apostle myself? ”

Ikari Hong did not deny it, and nodded, "Actually, there is the soul mark of the second apostle 'lilith' in your body, but I have sealed it steadily, and when you practice the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the future, you can gradually swallow its power."

Rei Ayanami clenched Ikari's hand and looked at him quietly with eyes of the same color, knowing that he understood that what she wanted to know was not this

Ikari Hong laughed at himself: "Don't talk about you, I haven't even figured out who I am, have you ever seen a normal person who has the ability to use the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi?" ”

Rei Ayanami didn't know what to say, so she said, "I'm listening"

In the end, Ikari Hong gently took it in his arms and said with a smile: "Actually, just like you once said to me, no matter who I am, I belong to you Ikari Hong." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then, in the same way, no matter who you are, whether it is an artificial person or an apostle, it has nothing to do with the previous life, nothing to do with others, just two people who are destined to stay together for a lifetime."

Ayanami Li smiled, yes, what does it matter, the young man in front of him before loves himself

Ikari Hong let go of the woman in his arms, put his hands on her shoulders, and said softly, "It's all my fault, I turned you into the only one"

Rei Ayanami quietly looked at the boy who brought her warmth and love

Rei Ayaami's Ikari of this Ikari Hung

Perhaps, it is a mistake for two people who are not in the same world, or even in the same dimension, to meet

But who says that the wrong start will inevitably lead to the wrong end?

……………………

In November, it has been half a month since the annihilation of the Sky Angels

Research Institute of the Scientific Research Department of NERV

Ritsuko's desk was cluttered, with various papers piled up in a mess, and an empty coffee cup was still sitting aside

Everywhere you go, you can hear the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard and the sound of electronic reports coming from the stereo

"The sterilization work of the EVA 3 machine and the reactivation of the MAGI system are carried out as planned, and 600 will be omitted until IJ4."

In front of the main control computer of the research institute, Lieutenant Maya Ibuki operated a series of processes with a smile on his face, and his hands skillfully tapped on the light-controlled keyboard, giving people a feeling of flowing water

Ritsuko, who was holding a folder and carefully recording something, faced Maya in the swivel chair under him, and said appreciatively, "Yes, it's really fast."

Maya was very happy to hear Ritsuko's praise, and continued to maintain a steady operating speed, while saying with a smile: "Of course, it was taught by the seniors themselves."

Ritsuko smiled gently, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong with her glasses eyes, "There, wait a minute, A-8 seems to be faster there."

"Lend me first," Ritsuko said, placing one hand on her main keyboard, crackling much faster than Maya's previous tapping with both hands

Maya looked at the fast-moving program on the screen in a daze, and muttered, "It's really worthy of a senior."

When Ritsuko was done, she leaned back in her chair and quietly continued to write something with her pen

The elevator on the side went up, and a shadow slowly came to the research institute

"How? Is the treatment of Magi over? When Misato arrived, she said in a relaxed tone

Ritsuko replied without raising her head: "It's roughly done, according to the schedule, to catch up with today's test"

Misato walked down the elevator, leaned over Ritsuko, and said with a hippie smile, "It's really Ritsuko, but it should be very troublesome to test three identical things at a time," Misato said, picking up Ritsuko's coffee on the table and taking a sip

"That cup of coffee is cold," Ritsuko was still busy with her own business, but she didn't delay the conversation with Misato in the slightest

Misato, who was drinking coffee, turned dark when she heard this

At this moment, a report from the staff of the institute was heard, "The Magi system has entered the self-diagnosis mode after restarting"

"There is no abnormality in the inspection of the 127th decision period"

Ritsuko put down the papers in her hand and got up and walked to the microphone: "Understood, let's take a break before the test starts"

………………

Inside the washroom

Ritsuko carefully wiped her freshly rinsed cheeks with a towel in front of the sink, looking up at herself in the mirror, the years have not cruelly left any traces on her face, even if she is over 30 years old, she is still charming

Ritsuko muttered to herself in the mirror, "There's nothing abnormal, Mom, I'm still in good spirits today"

…………………

Three drivers came to EVA's sterilization test room

"What?! Do you want to take it off again? Asuka screamed in surprise came from the room

Everyone enters a completely enclosed room, each connected to an equally completely enclosed passageway

At this time, Ritsuko's voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone: "Because the front is a super sterile room, it's not enough to just take a shower and change underwear."

Asuka was dissatisfied, "Why do autopilots have to do such things?" ”

At this time, there were only three people in the main observation room of the research institute, Ikari Hong, Ritsuko and Misato, and the rest of the staff were responsible for the normal operation of each process in their own posts

Ritsuko stared at the condition of the three EVAs displayed on the screen in front of her, heard Asuka's complaints, and explained softly, "We didn't let time pass in vain, EVA's technology is also advancing, and new data is needed at any time"

…………………

The three of them stripped naked in their rooms, and the system prompted that the passage connecting the room was opened after the sterilization was completed

"Now the three of you get out of the isolation room and follow the passage straight into the cockpit," Ritsuko's voice came again

"Eh?!!" Asuka screamed in shame

"It doesn't matter, I've turned off the video monitor, I'll protect my privacy," Ritsuko explained with a smile

Asuka complained helplessly, "It's not this problem, is it?" It's a matter of mood! ”

The overhead camera didn't flicker a normal point of light, but the voice of Ritsuko and Asuka talking came from the camera's built-in microphone: "The main purpose of this experiment is to directly resonate with the flesh without the help of the manipulating suit."

"Asuka, this is an order," Misato's voice rang out

Asuka listened to Misato always threaten herself with this sentence, but she was under her control, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Really! Don't peek at it! ”

…………………

On the side of the main control room, the screen in front of Ritsuko uses infrared scanning to image the scene in the three-seat cockpit on the screen

"Registration of each operator is ready"

Ritsuko stood in front of the sterilization chamber filled with blue liquid, looked at the three EVA simulants, and said solemnly, "The experiment begins"

"The experiment begins, the automatic maneuvering begins to record, inserts into the simulated test chamber"

Three test chambers were inserted into Eva's body

"The system is connected to the simulation experiment module, and the simulation experiment module has entered the jurisdiction of MAGI" With the electronic sound produced by the rapid operation of the data on the screen, Maya kept tapping on the thermal keyboard in front of her in her position

Misato looked at the fast-moving data and was amazed: "Oh~ It's so fast, it's so fast, it's so almighty, it's hard to believe it will take a week at the beginning."

One staff member said, "The experiment is scheduled to end in about three hours."

Ritsuko turned around and said as if pointedly: "Magi is not omnipotent, at least, she can't study Xiaohong's mysterious power"

Misato looked at Ikari as if she hadn't heard it, and covered her mouth and smiled
