Chapter 67: A Silent Showdown
Chapter 67
"That's why we let us take over the third machine?" After the briefing, Misato said dissatisfiedly to Ritsuko, who was also on the nerv elevator
Ritsuko chuckled and said, "The U.S. government probably doesn't want to lose even the first branch."
"Didn't the No. 3 and No. 4 machines be built by desperately claiming the right to build? So far, you have thrown dangerous things to us, and you have played so well! ”
Listening to Misato's childlike angry words, Ritsuko was very calm, and said in a flat tone: "After that tragedy, everyone will want to back down"
Misato shrugged and asked instead, "So, what are you going to do to start the experiment?" Do you want to use that camouflage device? ”
Ritsuko frowned and remained silent
Seeing this, Misato continued: "Xiaohong doesn't seem to like those camouflage machines very much."
Ritsuko's brow tightened
"Later"

Ritsuko and Gendo Ikari stand in front of the cockpit of a red EVA aircraft
"This is an experimental camouflage cockpit with special information reproduced from Rei, but the human heart and soul cannot be digitized," Ritsuko continued calmly, "It's just a machine that mimics the manipulator's thinking." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ikari Yuantang put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Transmit the signal into EVA, let EVA think that there is a manipulator in it to make it harmonize, and the first machine and the second machine also input data."
Ritsuko thought for a moment and said, "But there are still some unstable factors"
"It's okay, as long as EVA works"
"Yes"
Ikari Gendo suddenly turned around and stared coldly at Ritsuko, who was dressed in a white lab coat
"Ritsuko Akagi"
Ritsuko was stunned, then stood up straight and said in a serious voice
"Yes"
"Do you like Ikari?" Ikari Gendo asked with an unkind look on Ritsuko
When Ritsuko heard this, her whole body began to tremble, and she froze in place
Ikari Gendo turned around and said with a blank face: "Don't be delusional, I can allow my son to fall in love with Yui's genetic android, but it is impossible to allow a person who has a relationship with me to seduce my son."
As soon as the words fell, Ikari Gendo left on his own, leaving Ritsuko trembling in place
…………………
Gendo Ikari and Ikari and Rei Ayanami come to the container that was once created by Rei Ayaba
Looking at the container full of LCL at this time, Ikari Gendo said to Ikari Hong, who was in a daze: "The United Nations will transport the body of the No. 3 machine to the headquarters at the weekend, and you and Ritsuko Akagi will be in charge of it then."
Ikari and Rei Ayanami both looked a little strange when they heard Ritsuko's name, and Ikari frowned and wondered: "It doesn't seem to be in my profession, just let Ritsuko be in charge."
Ikari Gendo ignored Ikari and continued, "The adjustment and activation experiment will be carried out in Matsushiro"
Without waiting for Ikari Hong to speak, Ikari Gentang said again: "There are still some instability factors in the camouflage cockpit, and you are responsible for selecting the fifth suitable person."
"Or did you get that thing out?" Hearing this, Ikari gently shook Rei Ayanami who looked uneasy comfortingly, turned his head and looked at his father with some anger and said, "Why do you use that thing?" ”
Ikari Yuantang looked at his eldest son and said lightly: "Just in case"
"You just pick the fifth person from among the candidates."
Hearing this, Ikari Hong pouted and dismissed
……………………
The next day, Ikari was wearing a crisp white casual T-shirt and holding a notebook with driver standby in his hand, basking in the sun on the balcony of No. 3 New Tokyo City No. 1 Middle School
"I didn't expect the children in Ali's class to be on the alternates... nerv's water is really deep," Ikari said to himself, casually looking at the roster in his hand
"Huh?"
Got up and stretched, Ikari Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, high in the air, a small dot was gradually getting bigger, looking at the posture, it seemed that in a few seconds, it would fall on himself...
Ikari saw a huge parachute flying towards him, and at the same time, a crisp sound poured into his ears
"Hey! Give it a go! Give it a go! Hurry up and get out of the way! Wow!!" Although the voice shouted for Ikari Hong to dodge, Ikari Hong was not moved at all, just like that, as if aiming, the black shadow hit Ikari Hung straight, and a burst of softness instantly smashed into Ikari Hong's cheek
With an inhuman physique, Ikari Hong naturally won't be knocked down, standing in place, the energy in his body is running, only to see the girl who crashed into him was just held in his arms, and the huge parachute covered the two of them tightly in place
Ikari Hong opened his eyes and found that he couldn't see anything, and after being stunned for three seconds, he used the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to bounce the huge parachute above his head, and moved his face away from the majesty of the other party's chest without leaving a trace, looking at the woman who was being hugged by him
Her tan hair is combed with a double ponytail with her shoulders down, her blue-green eyes exude a strange luster, and her white school uniform shirt and European-style black and red checkered school pants are matched with a pair of red stockings, which make this woman look so perfect from all angles
At this time, her eyes were a little dazed, and due to the huge inertia of the fall, the glasses she was wearing were shocked and fell off
"Ah, glasses. Where did my glasses fall?" the girl rolled over and got off Ikaru's body, then fell on the ground and began to fumble around with her glasses
Ikari Hong subconsciously touched his face, the majesty of this woman's chest is not inferior to Misato...
Depend on! What was I thinking! I found that my cheeks were a little hot, and I turned my head and looked at the girl in front of me in surprise as she knelt on the ground and looked around
"Give"
Ikari Hong picked up the red glasses that had fallen on the ground and handed them to the girl who was still groping, and frowned slightly when he saw the word 'Ikari Yui' written on the legs of the glasses
"Uh, thank you" the girl took the glasses and put them on her face, "I'm sorry, are you okay?" The girl seemed to be apologizing for the accident just now, but before Ikari could speak, a phone ringtone interrupted the conversation between the two
I saw the girl take out the phone, and after connecting it, she communicated with the other end in English: "Well, I'm Mary, yes, I was blown away by the wind... It's like falling into a school..."
Ikari Hong suddenly realized that she was the No. 5 pilot from the United Kingdom who blessed herself a while ago, the real Hippo Mary
Still, why did she have her mother's glasses?
Soon, Mary hung up the phone, stepped up to Ikari Hong, and looked at the young man who had eaten his tofu just now
Ikari Hong also looked back at the past without blushing and without a heartbeat, and the two just looked at each other like this...
Long
"Whew! Mary took off her glasses and rubbed her sour eyes, put them on again and put them on again, and put her nose in front of Ikari as if she were hugging
Sniffing carefully like an animal, Mary said in confusion
"You..."
"Huh?"
"You smell good, it's the smell of LCL" Mary took a few steps back, looked up and down Ikari Hong again, and asked with a smile: "Let me guess, you're Ikari Hong, right?" ”
"Well, hello, Miss Makipo" Ikari smiled generously and held out his hand
Mary shook hands lightly with Ikari Hong, and asked curiously, "Do you know me?" ”
Then Mary complained dissatisfiedly: "What, what about the secret entry that was promised?"
"Speaking of which, why do you have my mother's things," Ikari pointed to his eyes, gesturing to the original owner of Mary's glasses
Mary touched her glasses and smiled, and said with mixed feelings: "Secret, and don't tell anyone about today, bye."
Ikari Hong looked at the girl who folded the parachute very professionally and picked it up and trotted away, smiled, and inadvertently glanced at Suzuhara Dongji on the playground, and finally shook his head
It's better not to let that child suffer, since the second machine has been put away, it is better to let Asuka go on
However, Sister Zhen Xibo, we will meet again
…………………
evening
"Asuka, what's wrong with you these days, listless" Shinji came to Asuka's bedroom with a carton of milk, put the milk in front of Asuka and said with concern
“………………”
Asuka sat at her desk and stared blankly at the red bracelet she had taken off her wrist without saying a word
"Tell me, I'm very distressed that you're like this," Shinji said softly, caressing the girl's long orange hair
“…………”
"Alas" Shinji saw that Asuka still didn't speak, moved a chair and sat beside her, quietly accompanying her in a daze
Little by little, time passed
Another hour passed, and the two sat quietly together
"Alas"
Finally, Asuka put the bracelet on her hand again, and after glancing at Shinji Ikari, who had been quietly looking at her, sighed, and said softly, "I was deprived of my right to drive EVA"
"Huh? How is that possible, what's going on" Shinji came back to his senses, incredulous
Asuka pouted and lay on the bed with a gloomy expression, tears rolling in her eyes
Shinji bit her lip, gently patted Asuka's little hand, and turned to leave
……………
Knocking on Miri's messy 'boudoir', Shinji walked up to Misato and said straight to the point, "Why can't Asuka drive Eva?" ”
Misato rubbed her shoulders and said lazily, "This... I can't help it."
“…… What the hell is going on, Miss Misato," Shinji asked, a little anxious
"Hmm... A few days ago, I received a phone call from above," Misato picked up a can of beer from the table, opened it and took a sip, and said slowly: "The EVA No. 4 machine under construction by the second branch of Europe has been wiped out due to the collapse of A.T. Field, with the No. 4 machine as the center, and all its facilities with a radius of 89 kilometers have been wiped out."
Shinji was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "With the staff there?" ”
"Thousands of people are dead," Misato said in a calm tone, sipping her beer, "And as the second branch of the accident, the European side transferred the No. 3 machine, and as a condition for acceptance, the No. 2 machine will be temporarily sealed."
"Why seal it up? Wouldn't one more EVA be a better deal for the Apostles? Shinji asked, puzzled
"Do you know about the Vatican Treaty?" Seeing Shinji's dazed face, Misato laughed at himself, how could he know
Misato continued: "According to the Vatican Treaty, a country can only have a maximum of three EVA bodies at the same time, and the second aircraft was originally sent to the headquarters by Europe, so it is still under the jurisdiction of Europe, and there is no way to be sealed, and even the pilot is vacated."
"So Asuka is vacant?" Shinji digested Misato's words and asked with a frown
"But..."
Misato's voice changed, "The Marduk agency in charge of selecting the driver has somehow given the task of selecting the pilot of the third machine to your brother Ikari Hong, if you want Asuka to continue driving the EVA, go find Kohong"
Shinji nodded and got up
"I see, thank you, Miss Misato"
Misato drank the beer in her hand dry, looking at Shinji's departing back, with a sadness between her eyebrows
