Welcome to the Bethany base. "A blonde balding uncle was waiting for Ian and the others on the helicopter deck, and that broken Japanese made all four of them uncomfortable to hear." EVA 5 is in the process of being assembled urgently, but we recommend sending a regular EVA to work with 5. Fighting with that kind of semi-finished product is irresponsible for the life of the driver. ”

"We know that Chance Zero is there to come to the aid when needed." Shinji blocked the hair flying on his forehead, the wind in the Arctic Circle was so strong......

"If the zero machine can come, we suggest that the fifth machine is still driven by our driver, and your pilot will drive the zero machine to attack."

"Yes, we can wait until we confirm the status of the Apostle before deciding whether to send Machine Zero. Without further ado, let's go to the apostles first. ”

"Uh... Good. Park your plane, empty the helicopter deck, and we'll take a helicopter ride over. ”

On the flight deck, Asuka and Rei Ayanami were wearing EX-GERA and looked at Ian with a little distress. "Do we have to wear this?"

Ian smiled and didn't speak, but a line of small letters appeared on the helmets in front of the two of them.

"It's easy to run."

Two VF-35s slowly walked into the hangar in the form of a g-walk, and a few minutes later, a Ka-27 helicopter completed flight preparations, carrying two technicians, a guide, and a squad of escorts to the Bethany base not far away.

"The Bethany base itself is the sealing facility of the Apostles, and most of the main body is located underwater, with a small part leaking out of the sea surface and a small part going deep into the bottom rocks.

The main body is divided into two parts, the area outside the sealing layer "Santu River" and the sealing facility "Hades".

The Sealing Facility is divided into nine floors, Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Ange, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery.

Now we're about to enter the first level, the Netherworld. ”

The group rode in a manned vehicle, presumably a modified BTR-80, and entered the sealed area of the Bethany base.

"Do you feel anything?" Ian poked Kaoru Nagisa's arm.

"It's okay, it's just a little annoying."

“？？？”

"This sealing system is a bit like the lullaby that the second sister sang to us in the pastoral era, which can play a role in calming the mind when we are already asleep or want to sleep, speed up falling asleep, and deepen the level of sleep. But if you don't want to sleep, you also need to be distracted to combat this feeling of drowsiness, which is particularly annoying. ”

It seems that this sealing system is something that Lilith has done again......

The car drove for more than two hours before it entered the bottom of this sealing system.

"I've always thought that it was outrageous enough for the headquarters to go to work at the gate of the base to clock in, and then drive the battery car for an hour to get to work. Do you researchers have to clock in and take a three-hour bus ride to work? ”

"So people who work in Hades are generally rotated once a month, and we also think it's outrageous to commute to work 6 hours a day at the base." The guide shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, we don't have a place to go in this cold and snowy place, it's better to live in the underworld than to live in the underworld, at least there is still a down-to-earth feeling. It's troublesome to do mental pollution testing during job rotation. ”

Hearing the guide's words, the two researchers, who had been on leave today, nodded approvingly.

Passing through a certain gate, the group got out of the car.

"Ahead is the final gate, and the first seal—"betrayal". ”

Once inside, Ian saw a skeleton coiled on the ground.

"I feel the thinking, but I can't feel the wisdom, his thinking is a chaos, and we can't find our original logical thinking." Kaoru Nagisa empties her mind and feels the soul of this brother wholeheartedly.

"Is it because of modification or experimentation?" Ian pointed to the insertion bolt that was fixed on the front half of the Third Apostle's neck.

"No, it was earlier that its thinking was erased." Kaoru Nagisa's attention was still focused on the apostle. "The degree of soul fragmentation is also maintained at the lowest level that can produce an AT position, I'm afraid this brother of mine is not much different from the beast."

Kaoru Nagisa concentrated on searching again.

"No, the memory has also been erased, is there any record of when it came?"

"Lilith herself said that in 1908, she and Tesla blew it up with the first-generation N2 thunderbolt, and it is still necessary to find information on the arrival time or waking time."

"According to records, on June 30, 1908, at 5:17 a.m., a meteorite with a diameter of about 300 meters rushed into the atmosphere, and the trajectory of this meteorite spanned almost the whole of Europe. A little later, at 7:17, a huge explosion occurred in the Tunguska region. A researcher casually picked up. There were three identical explosions, and the sky over a 9,000-mile radius was shrouded in an eerie orange color. Within a radius of 1,000 miles, there was a continuous daylight phenomenon. Tsarist Russia at that time sent a survey force of 2,000 men to the Tunguska region to investigate. It was found that all the glass within a radius of 650 miles was shattered, trees within a radius of 25 miles were blown down, and more than 100,000 trees crystallized and died.

The center of the explosion left nothing but three large craters of about 200 meters, as well as crystallized sand and gravel at the bottom of the pit. Over the next year or so, the two thousand died one after another. At the time of the establishment of the Bethany base, I revisited the causes of death of the members of the investigation team. Much like radiation sickness. ”

"It's 2015...... Was it 107 years ago? No, the memories of the period from the time it came to the time it was blown up were intact, and its memories were shattered until it woke up. "Kaoru Nagisa tossed and turned in the apostle's soul." It would be nice if there was a body, and the body cells of our apostles could also store memory information completely. ”

"Hey, the liar......" is a very high position, and the guide who knows more has heard some of the conversations between Nagisa Kaoru and Ian, and has a more terrifying idea.

"In addition, the problem of radiation sickness...... Early N2 weapons would use fission nuclear weapons as a trigger, and the fusion material would not react very completely, leaving behind crystalline radioactive soil. At that time, the N2 weapon was more similar to your hydrogen bomb, but later N2 weapons used the total nitrogen substance as a trigger to trigger the fusion reaction of metallic hydrogen. There is no fission reaction at all, which cuts off the problem of radiation residues. Kaoru Nagisa heard the researcher's words and replied in passing. The second sister wanted to use dark matter or antimatter to do it, but before we could start experimenting, we were kicked out. It was then that we learned that the N2 weapon could suppress or even destroy the AT position. ”

"Huh? Did you know at that time? ”

"DO YOU THINK THERE ARE ONLY FOUR GIANTS OF LIGHT THAT YOU CALL ADAMS? We've seen more than thirty of them at the time. It's just that most of them were killed when the second sister's laboratory blew up. Kaoru Nagisa's expression was still elegant. The problem is that in the period between before 1908 and our expulsion from the Garden of Eden, my memories were choppy and illogical. The stance is also jumping repeatedly, from escaping with everyone on the Black Moon, to resisting the attacks of other brothers with the second sister, to resisting the pursuit of ADAMS with everyone, to everyone chasing each other. ”

"At some point in time, it finally became a situation where the other brothers chased Lilith and I went to find Shinji-kun. Since the last reincarnation, I didn't even look for Lilith, and I came into contact with Shinji directly. ”

"But I still haven't figured out how Li Lin replaced the Spear of Cassius with another Spear of Longinus."
