"Everyone, I'm back, do you miss me?" About a month later, Wu Ming's left hand wrapped in a bandage returned to NERV's command room, today is the day when NERV's headquarters is completely repaired, Wu Ming can come back at this time to stagger a lot of work, of course, it's not the first time he's lazy, many times Yuandu Ikari will be captured by him as a coolie to do it for him.

"It's a great hero who singles out the Apostle of Zero, I said why aren't you dead yet." Misato Katsuragi lazily lay on the table and said, because the matter of Takeaki singleing out Eve spread within NERV, so many things admired him in private, but Misato Katsuragi had been with Takeaki for a while, so she knew that Takeaki was the type who would shine if he gave him a little sunshine, and because of this, Misato Katsuragi didn't bother to talk about him.

"Really, I told Yonglin at the beginning, if you can't save it, you can bring it to me for dissection, alas, it's a pity." Ritsuko Akagi said with some disappointment, if she hadn't seen that Wu Ming had been fighting Eve with a human body in the video, she would have doubted that Wu Ming would also be an apostle.

"You bastards, hurry up and give me work, or believe it or not I'll give you little shoes to wear." Wu Ming is already clearly threatening, he feels that it is necessary to redeem his majesty at this time, in Gensokyo, his majesty is estimated to be a little higher than that of the eldest lady, if this is still the case in NERV, then he doesn't have to mix.

"Okay, okay, go to work right away." Katsuragi Misato lazily turned on her computer, in fact, as the head of operations of NERV, if there is no apostle to appear, Katsuragi Misato can be said to be idle, so she is just pretending to be lazy now, as the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, with Wu Ming, a often lazy boss, Katsuragi Misato, a person who is not very diligent in the first place, will naturally be lazier than before.

"Is there anything to report? If not, I'm going back to the back office. "Wu Ming lay on the chair and said, his current behavior is actually compared to the ancient faint king's 'something to do, nothing to retreat from the dynasty', although Katsuragi Misato they don't know what the so-called backstage work is, but they know very well that Wu Ming has not dealt with any NERV affairs when he was 'working in the background', and at this time it was all handled by Yuandu Ikari.

"We've made some preparations for what the Apostle of Zero said, and if the next Apostle who comes to attack is really the type that can reflect long-range attacks, I've strengthened some of the Eva's melee weapons." Ritsuko Akagi shoves a report into Takeaki's hands, and during Takeaki's 'hospitalization', Eva's weapons are in the sole responsibility of Ritsuko Akagi.

"Well, if it were me, I would do the same, and as much as I hate the Apostle of Zero, it wouldn't be completely unreasonable for her to say such a thing, and even if she lied to us, it would be better than being unprepared." Wu Ming looked at the report and praised, Ritsuko Akagi's judgment was very accurate, even if what Eve said was false, it would not hurt for NERV to prepare more things, "There have been no apostles in the recent period." ”

"There are no fully confirmed apostles, but there is one unconfirmed apostle." Misato Katsuragi looked at Gento Ikari with a somewhat complicated face, "Because of the words that the Apostle of Zero said when he invaded NERV last time, Shinji Ikari is suspected of being an apostle, so"

Eve had made it clear when she invaded NERV that she was here to see Shinji Ikari, and after achieving this purpose, she left without hesitation when she could destroy this NERV by herself, judging from this point alone, maybe Shinji Ikari is more important to him than the entire NERV, plus Eve's appearance has shown that the Apostle can appear as a human, so it is normal for Shinji Ikari to be regarded as a suspect of the Apostle.

"I just want to ask if you shot him." Wu Ming didn't care about flipping through the work report of NERV in the past few days, and it didn't seem that the life and death of Shinji Ikari was not in his eyes, and this coldness made Misato Katsuragi have to be strict, which is Wu Ming's unique attitude as the head of NERV, only looking at the actual role of everything, and completely abandoning personal feelings.

"Because we don't have actual evidence to prove whether Shinji Ikari is an apostle or not, we can only keep him in confinement now, and he's still in the confinement cell of NERV." Ritsuko Akagi looked at Ikari Gento Wataru and said, "However, considering Commander Ikati, we can still approve him to meet with Commander Ikari under surveillance." ”

"It seems that Shinji has been really sad this month, even if you can't see a girl's paper, you can only stay in the small dark room in a daze every day, and stare at your poker face from time to time." Wu Ming turned his chair to the direction of Ikari Gento, "Then Lao Ikati, did you get any special information from Shinji this month?" ”

"Nope." Ikari Gendu simply replied with two words, he didn't meet Ikari Shinji much this month, and every time he met, he simply asked Ikari Shinji what his impression of Zero's apostle was, because Ikari Shinji said that he had seen Eve before, and if he could remember it, he might be able to clear his suspicion.

"That's right." Wu Ming stood up suddenly, "Then I now order the immediate release of Shinji Ikari in my capacity as the acting head of NERV." ”

"What!?" Takeaki's decision shocked everyone, including Misato Katsuragi, what the concept of an apostle is, it is very clear to the people of NERV, even if Shinji Ikari has not confirmed his identity as an apostle, but as long as there is suspicion, he can't let it go, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Rest assured, I trust Shinji very much, after all, I barely watched him grow up." Wu Ming waved his hand, walked towards the door of the command room by himself, and stopped again when he walked to Ikari Yuandu's side, "Lao Akira, you can come along, after all, you are his father, and you can't be absent when your son is released from prison." ”

"Wu Ming, you have to think clearly, if Shinji Ikari is really an apostle, neither you nor we can bear this consequence." Ritsuko Akagi reminded that in fact she was not in favor of letting Shinji Ikari go now, risking the apostles to invade to join an unskilled EVA pilot, it was not worth the account.

"What else do you want, no matter how powerful those apostles are, they won't be better than the zero apostles who control them, and I've also fought with the zero apostles, am I still afraid of those guys who don't enter the stream?" Wu Ming said disdainfully, maybe as long as he dared to say that ordinary apostles were not in the stream, after all, even ordinary apostles had the power to destroy the world.

The confinement chamber where Shinji Ikari is being held is located in the depths of NERV, and the security here is even comparable to the command room, and they are not guarding against an external attack, but Shinji Ikari who is being held in the confinement room, and if it can be clearly proven that Shinji Ikari is an apostle, then the computer here will immediately sentence Shinji Ikari to death.

"Nima, are you sure this is a confinement chamber? Do you know how many people can't afford to buy such a big house now? "Wu Ming was speechless when he walked to the confinement room where Shinji Ikari was being held, it is estimated that it is the relationship between Ikari Gento, although there is no special decoration here, but it is also very tidy, except for the lack of communication with the outside world, the daily necessities here are almost all available.

"This was arranged by Misato, and she said that we had no reason to treat Shinji Ikari differently until we confirmed that Shinji Ikari was an apostle, so she brought these things in for Shinji Ikari herself." After Ritsuko Akagi entered a sixteen-digit code on the door of the confinement room, three blast doors made of superalloy opened one after another.

"Yo, how do you feel after being locked up in the little black room for a month? Shinji. "Wu Ming walked in front of Shinji Ikari, maybe because of the one-month confinement, Shinji Ikari's spirit seemed very low, which is also normal, fortunately Shinji Ikari did not have a phobia of confinement, otherwise he would probably be driven crazy.

"Are you here to kill me?" Seeing Wu Ming coming, Shinji Ikari raised his head and looked at Wu Ming, but his first sentence made Takeshi a little surprised, although Shinji Ikari is very autistic, but it shouldn't be so unthinkable, but now it seems that Shinji Ikari is not joking.

"No, I'm here to let you go." Wu Ming shook his head and untied Shinji Ikati's handcuffs, "It seems that Lao Iki is quite ruthless and let you wear this thing for a month." ”

"Because Dad said this was the best way to do it, and I had to use it to ease my suspicion before I remembered about the Apostle of Zero." Shinji Ikari moved his hands, the month-long confinement had made his body a little uncomfortable, but thankfully he hadn't been tortured or anything like that.

In fact, the person who proposed to imprison Shinji Ikari was Gento Wataru Ikati, and in the eyes of the rest of NERV, it was impossible for Eve to come to see Shinji Ikari for no reason, and there must be some special reason for this, the biggest possibility is that Shinji Ikari is also one of the apostles, because Eve once called Shinji Ikari 'Son of God', with Eve as a precedent, people who know about this matter will subconsciously classify the Son of God as an apostle.

Ikari Gento's behavior of imprisoning Shinji Ikari is the best protection for Shinji Ikari, if he doesn't do this, Seele is likely to send someone to arrest Shinji Ikari, and Gento Ikari can also take advantage of the time Shinji Ikari is imprisoned to let Shinji Ikari remember when he met Eve, because this is the only way to clear the suspicion.

As for the idea that Takeaki will kill Shinji Ikari is not groundless, every time Gento Ikari comes to see Shinji Ikari, Shinji Ikari notices the frightened looks of those guards, in their eyes, maybe Shinji Ikari and Eve are the same kind of monsters, and Shinji Ikari has nothing to do about it, plus he has seen the cold-bloodedness that Takeaki showed when facing the apostles, so both Gento Ikari and Shinji Ikari have already determined that as long as Takeshi returns to NERV, it will be equivalent to sentencing Shinji Ikari to death, But unexpectedly, Wu Ming not only didn't think about killing Shinji Ikari, but wanted to release him.
