Chapter 178: Frustration

Lao Jie was uncomfortable when Ian looked at him.

didn't take the initiative to ask, just frowned and squinted at Ian.

When Rei was talking to Lao Ikari, she hurriedly talked to Rei Ayanami with a smile on her face.

At an angle where Rei can't see but Lao Ikari can see, Ian uses his mouth to compare the appearance of a "Naoko".

Lao Jie's pupils tightened slightly, and Li's response was stuck for half a second. Li was a little confused, and just as she wanted to turn around, she heard the sound of the neck of the zero machine turning.

The three of them looked at Unit Zero in surprise.

Ian noticed that the head of Machine Zero twisted a few degrees and turned to an angle that was exactly facing Ian.

Visible to the naked eye, Lao Ning's cold sweat came down.

Rei wandered between Ian Zero and Lao Ikari in confusion.

No matter how sluggish you are, you can realize that there are some weird little secrets between these three, okay? What's more, Ayanami Rei herself is also a smart girl in ice and snow, but she is not good at communicating with others.

Or that I was not good at communicating with others.

Ayanami Rei, who is gradually becoming cheerful now, is one of the top three goddess-level characters in the country.

Suspiciously, he glanced at the three of them a few times and suppressed the doubts in his heart. Be prepared to explore slowly.

"Sure enough... Is the soul passively sucked into it more complete than the soul of Yui who actively sacrifices itself? Ian looked at Machine Zero, and he could feel that Machine Zero, or Naoko Akagi, was also looking at him. No... Is it because Unit Zero is just a man-made puppet?"

Try activating the changemaker mode and connecting the short-range wireless connection to the zero machine.

The first thing to convey is emotion, curiosity, peace, and... Calm down?

What kind of emotion is calm?

"Are you the man's son? What a tiger father without a dog..."

"No, I'm not, it's not me, I'm just on the top shift." Ian constructs his own consciousness image. It is the image of a young man with blonde hair, glasses, shirt, jeans, and white coat that he has used for nearly sixty years.

Well, the main thing is glasses... It's too uncomfortable to be without glasses.

Both men stood facing each other with one hand in their pockets.

"Want to go out and beat him?" Ian beaks to the side of the image of the old man, Nunu.

"There's no need, that resentment has already been sent. And I can't do it... Also, I have time to apologize to the little girl for being someone else last time. ”

In other words, if it's really Ikari Yui, you'll make up for it...

Or maybe it's a one-person Zuan version of Rei Ayana?

"So... If you actually meet Yui Ikari......"

"Of course it's the first fight! I haven't robbed a man, and I can't lose in a fight! ”

Ian's eyes unconsciously glanced at the first machine.

Your sister's...

Can the first machine and the zero machine fight and smash out the third impact?

"Really...... Weisang was also arranged. What a scumbag, Ikari-san. ”

I always feel like you're hacking two people at the same time, but I don't have proof...

"Sure enough, let's beat up Ikaku-san." Naoko Akagi with both hands in his pockets. What does she think? Does she know I'm here? ”

"The idea of beating Lao Jie is almost the same, and I'll go back and ask about the rest, her condition is not very good, and the whole person is okay."

"Ahh What a sinful man. Naoko pulled out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket......

The movements are exactly the same as Ritsuko. Or rather... Ritsuko is exactly the same as Naoko?

Ian put Naoko's hair P yellow in his mind, plus a pair of glasses... It's exactly the same...

"Anyway, Ritsuko's biological father ......"

"I don't know, I chose a suitable one from the excellent gene pool, artificial insemination."

… Is this popular among strong women in your place? If I'm not mistaken, Asuka seems to be like this...

"Why do you ask this?"

"Because it's so similar... Movements, demeanor, even appearance, preferences. "And people who like it.

I didn't dare to say it later, for fear that I would be hammered to death by machine zero when I went out.

"That kid," Naoko's face leaked a look of distress. How did she and Ikaku-san go? ”

"Who knows." Ian shrugged and spread his hands. "But judging from Lao Jie's trust in her, Ritsuko's knowledge of confidential matters, and the man's consistent style. There is a high probability of dark passage songs. ”

"Really... Sure enough..."Naoko Akagi's expression became even more melancholy. "I don't know what went wrong with education, but that child hated me and imitated me, and at the same time was able to live in harmony with me. What an awkward child. ”

"It's okay... It's just that the pursuit of technology is a little bit... "I think of Ritsuko who doesn't put myself back to sleep until twelve o'clock."

"But that little girl... Is it a clone of Yui? I don't think it's very pure. ”

"Well, there's something mixed up in the soul, and Lilith or ADMS can't be sure yet. But for the time being it should be harmless. Anyway, that little girl please take care of you, and after a while, see how to get you out. ”

"I will, I'm all a victim of that man."

"Please."

Break the link of thought to... The super weird gaze looked at the Ikari Gendo next to him.

"What's wrong?" The hairs that Ikari Gendo was looking at stood on end.

"You were beaten up in the last machine zero starting test, right?"

"Why do you know..."

"You're really lucky to survive...", he patted Gendo Ikari on the shoulder. Leigh, home. ”

"Okay."

"Leigh, what do you want to eat?"

"Ramen, no meat, but bone broth. Add more garlic. ”

"You really don't like meat..."

After the start-up test of Unit Zero, Ian returned to his daily routine here.

I was thinking of going to the second new Tokyo city on Friday to find Linda and them. But Linda and the others, who are addicted to business wars, have no time to deal with Ian, who is useless to his own body.

As a result, the project continued on Friday.

The only break turned into the evening when Leigh boiled bone broth.

Ritsuko won't step into the kitchen where the soup is boiling again. After two consecutive nights of eating meat and drinking bone broth at night, I gained two kilograms of weight this week.

But the leisurely days lasted only three weeks, and on the Wednesday of the fourth week, the sixth apostle came.

"A UFO suddenly appeared in the direction of Old Odawara and was heading over Lake Ashi."

"Spectral analysis, blue."

"Is it really the Sixth Apostle..."

"All the first combat configuration. Third, the city of New Tokyo switched to battle mode and issued a D17 special declaration. What about the operating rate of the venting system? ”

“14%。”

"There is a high-energy reaction inside the enemy!"

"What?"

"The 41st, 49th anti-aircraft attack system, evaporate!"

"The Strategic Self-Defense Forces, heavy explosives, destroyed!"

"Chariot troops, all wiped out!"

"The first splash of long-range rocket artillery, launch."

"The first wave of short-range ballistic missiles, launched."

"Third Air Support Team, half of them were shot down."

"The 14th ground attack system, the second pair of air-decoated missile positions, evaporated."

"The estimated destructive power is above..."Misato watched as a blue octahedron traveled at about 40 kilometers per hour as it shelled with an accelerator particle cannon in all directions.

"The pilot of the first machine is in charge! The first launch is ready to be completed.! ”

"Transmission line..."

"Miss Misato, throw me out of enemy range and be ready to unfurl your shield at any moment. Ritsuko-san, how is the MM-99's new ammunition? ”

Ian adjusts his status on the first plane.

"Going to use a gun today?"

"Have close-range weapons and rifles around it." It's not a close idea at all.

But... It's not a TV that transforms.

Edition... Sure enough, this is really not the plot of the theatrical version.

If it doesn't deform... It's not pretty.

"First machine, launch!"

"Goal, accelerate the ceasefire of the particle cannon... High energy inside the target anyway! The Apostles are accumulating! ”

"Shinji-kun! Get out of the way! ”

"Got it!" At the moment when the catapult rushed out of the ground, Ian operated the first machine and jumped up directly. Dodged the recharged Accelerator Particle Cannon.

The first plane formed a position in the sky above, kicked the position back to the ground, and quickly ran away.

"Isn't it so sassy to shoot without being able to shapeshift?" The first machine ran as he shot the apostle with his rifle.

"It worked! This MDE warhead! Ritsuko was pleasantly surprised. The apostle tos, and in the early stage, he only formed a position a little before the surface of the body.

Nearly 100 rounds of latitudinal devouring warheads exploded on the surface of the stand.

One by one, the latitude devouring positions of nearly ten meters directly broke through the AT positions of the apostles.

Dozens of pits were pulled out of the surface of the apostles.

"Out of bullets?" He threw his rifle as a javelin at the apostle.

The part of the rifle that is not very strong, such as the lower handguard, is directly shattered. And the barrel and other extremely strong parts directly broke through the Apostle's AT position with the help of a speed close to Mach 6.

Pierced one of the apostles' horns.

"Ah!!!!!!!h

A piercing, baby-like cry went straight to Ian's heart.

Ian stumbled on his feet, stumbled with his left foot and tripped himself directly with his right foot, and the first machine rolled... Get out.

"Something!" The first machine got up from the ground. "Linda! Conversation Module! ”

"Module, here it is!"

A dialogue module is teleported directly below the Apostle.

"Is there a desire for dialogue? So..."

The dialogue module expands particle resonance comprehension.

"What are you doing here..."

"You scum!!"

"Cut... Whose dregs are they? ”

Remove the high-energy particle vibrating dagger from your shoulder and throw it as a throwing knife.

A beam of light flashed, and the dagger evaporated.

A beam of light flashes, destroying the dialogue mod.

After charging for a second, the beam of light shot towards the first machine.

"Coming back?"

Ian steered the first plane out of the way, dodging the beam.

"Miri! Rifle! Power supply! ”

Dash in a zigzag shape to dodge the Apostle's Accelerated Particle Cannon.

"Hinata-kun, send the weapon and power supply route to the first machine, quick!"

"The seventh container pops out! Evaporated! ”

"The 44th power supply is energized, and the position is ...... The power supply is destroyed! ”

"Cut..."Ian was cool in his heart. The remaining movement time of less than 36 seconds next to him fills Ian with a sense of urgency.

"Miri, the retreat route, the status quo simply makes it impossible to continue fighting!"

"The mouth of the E-31 catapult is open, and the protective shield is unfurled!"

"Shinji! The location was sent to you! ”

"Understood!" Bend down to dodge a beam of accelerating particles. The first machine crashed through an apartment building and jumped directly into the well of the catapult behind the protective wall.

"Cut... It's ugly..."Ride the catapult and descend slowly. This was the first time Ian had been swept around the city by the shadowy Acceleration Particle Cannon.

In the end, he also took the initiative to retreat because the residual body had insufficient time to move.

"Shinji, do you have any thoughts on that apostle??"

"Is there a desire for dialogue? So..."

The dialogue module expands particle resonance comprehension.

"What are you doing here..."

"You scum!!"

"Cut... Whose dregs are they? ”

Remove the high-energy particle vibrating dagger from your shoulder and throw it as a throwing knife.
