Last time, Ian took out a giant axe from his back and stood in front of him, trying to resist his mother-in-law's jump.

A burst of white light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again...

Ah, it's time to tell the story...

When Ian opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of a public phone booth. A piercing cry echoed in his ears.

Holding a microphone on a public phone with a message repeating that the phone was not working.

"That's not the right proportion......" Ian touched his chin and looked at this obviously much taller phone booth, in the past, the top of the phone booth was usually on Ian's chest, but the top of this phone was on the top of Ian's head. The average height of people in this world is two meters and two. ”

Then, I hung the microphone back and saw the reflection of the chrome place on the phone booth.

Above is a clear-eyed, a little thin and shocked...... Shinji Ikari's face.

"Shinji Ikari, your uncle!" Ian "pulled his hair out of his frenzy. Change Lao Tzu's body back! ”

“giligili eye！

……”

"Huh? Is the communicator still there? ”

"Ian? Thank goodness where are you? We didn't find you on the boat, we didn't expect you to be able to get through. Linda's voice came from the communicator.

"Harm... Stop it...... I was pitted by that bear child. Probably staying here for a few years to complete an agreement. By the way, save the lives of people on this planet......" Ian tilted his head to the communicator, his hands rummaging through his pockets. "Where are you?"

"Fifteen thousand kilometers above the city of New Tokyo."

"Ah, a note."

"Your body is placed in the A0001 human sleeping cabin on your ship, this body completely restores your physical condition, but the appearance is the same as what I looked like back then, please feel free to use it. Also, I put some of your personal equipment in my backpack. ”

"The physical fitness is the same...... Ian realized his current body, jumped at random, waved his fist, and punched a sonic boom. It's just a little shorter. ”

"Ah, there's a picture."

It is a swimsuit photograph of Misato Katsuragi

"Please pay attention here."

"Wait for me in the same place~"

Do you want to collect it? Ian pondered.

Legend has it that the words on this were written by the old ruffian of Anye......

So...... Belch......

Suddenly, a demonic wind blew, and Ian looked around. I found a Rei Ayanami standing in the middle of the road.

Ian stared at her, and she stared at Ian.

"Linda, can you locate me?"

"I can find it... It has been positioned. ”

"Scan my left front 35 degrees and 85 meters away. What's there? ”

"Nothing, wait, there's a low-energy electromagnetic composite signal. The radar did not detect it, the optical sensors did not detect it, and the multispectral scanning device saw a figure. If there is a form...... Inference is the kind of existence that is projected of consciousness. ”

That is to say...... Soul? One-person purpose Rei Ayana? ”

Ian couldn't hold it anymore and blinked. The translucent Rei Ayanami was gone. Listen to the roar of approaching, and the sound of heavy footsteps getting closer and closer. Ian picked up the backpack that Shinji Ikari had left him.

"What's in there... Nano armor suits, lightsabers, tablet terminals, data cables, chargers. Eventually, the general event is enough to deal with. ”

"Linda, park the boat farther away, it's not very safe over the third new Tokyo city. If you do the math, stop in orbit around Mars and leave 24 spy satellites behind. And then are you coming to see the play or watching it remotely? ”

"We'll be over in a moment. It's not very easy to fool that quasi-AI in the city of Third New Tokyo. ”

"Huh? Do you still know how to hack? ”

"It's Sharon and Grace, they're doing an intelligence disguise for the six of us."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

“…”

Heavy footsteps came closer and closer with the vibrations. The third, perhaps fourth, apostle came with heavy footsteps.

"Is that the apostle......"

I have to say, although the proportions of this thing are quite ghostly, but it is quite beautiful.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Three supersonic cruise missiles flew at an altitude of less than two meters above Ian's head, turned 90 degrees at an intersection, climbed violently, and pounced on the apostle who was walking slowly along with the remaining dozen cruise missiles approaching from a high altitude.

"Boom... Rumble... Boom..."

The huge explosive storm blew the hem of Ian's shirt hunting, even if it was more than two kilometers away.

Well... In order to make it easier to escape, Ian pulled out the shirt that had been tucked into his pants. By the way, you can also pin the lightsaber on the back of the waist without being too conspicuous.

Then again... The armament of that kind of short take-off and landing aircraft ... Wouldn't it be too poor and weak.

The Apostle's left hand was raised, and something resembling a beam spear came out of his palm, directly stabbing the wing of a short-distance take-off and landing aircraft.

Images hidden deep in the memory emerge.

"Hey, hey... Did you come at me? Ian took out the nano armor suit from his backpack and pressed the dress module to his chest, and the nano armor quickly spread out, wrapping Ian's body.

After all, Ian didn't dare to bet on whether Misato Katsuragi would arrive on time to stop the explosion.

Besides... Just that kind of civilian vehicle... It's going to be blown apart.

I looked up at the plane that was falling, and I checked the direction, and it was indeed crashing in my direction.

Ian put his bag on his back and ran away. While moving away from the crash site, the appearance of the armored suit was adjusted to the normal school uniform style.

"With a halo...... Theatrical version? Adjusting the appearance, Ian glanced back at the flying Apostle.

"Boom... Rumble! ”

The apostle fell heavily and blew up the crashed plane.

"Sorry for the wait...?" Misato Katsuragi was a little suspicious of life's driving and Ian went hand in hand, and lowered the co-pilot's glass. 70 km/h!? Is this Nima human?

"Are you the connector?" Ian stopped his run abruptly, and with the help of small inertial control devices and miniature spouts, he stopped only 5 meters.

And Miri's car ran out close to fifty meters before stopping. Ian had to run a little more to catch up.

“…… You ......"

"Power armor, my work."

Ian switched his suit to golden red, then back again.

"Oh......" Listening to the explosion coming from behind, Misato didn't have time to delve into this color-changing power armor.

After all, Shinji Ikari's mother can be called a genius scientific researcher who single-handedly suppressed an era.

Her son is not evil at all...... It's not normal, okay! Even with NERV's technology, it can't make people run at a speed of less than 70 kilometers. Do all the people in the Ministry of Intelligence eat dry food?

On the way, Misato kept looking at Ian. Ian, on the other hand, has been observing the apostles who have been bombed indiscriminately through satellites in the universe.

I didn't notice Misato's look on her face.

By the way, Ian is still thinking about how to explain the origin of this nano combat suit, and what appears out of thin air is too unreliable.

Coming to a certain hillside, Misato stopped the car.

"It should be okay at this distance, Shinji-kun, are you not interested in your father's work?" Misato pulled out a document bag with the word "Extremely Secret" printed on it.

Ian pulled out an ID and a pamphlet from it.

Well, it's basically all nonsense. What protects humanity, the world works together, and so on.

After a casual glance, he folded his ID and received it in his backpack. The rest of the stuff was casually thrown into the back seat.

"Not interested?" Misato tilted her head and pulled out a telescope. Looking at the battle in the distance, or the unilateral and indiscriminate bombardment. "It's not easy to have a bad relationship with my father...... My young ......"

"No, it's not a bad relationship with that man." It's a problem I don't know him at all.

Ian opened the door and got out of the car, slapped the door on the door, and used nanobots to devour and assimilate the Renault.

Although I'm a little embarrassed that her original car is gone, it's better to be safe for her safety.

As for compensation...... Wait until she mentions it.

In Misato's puzzled eyes, Ian rolled up the window and closed the door. The nanosuit absorbs some of the surrounding material, then forms two drill bits in both feet and burrows into the ground.

Then he did the same thing with Miri's car, using a drill to get into the asphalt of the road. Then for insurance, a small surface inertial stance stabilization device was also installed in the trunk of this car.

"What are you doing?" Misato looked up at Ian suspiciously.

After the Apostle's figure was blocked by the mountains, all the flying machines flying in the sky dodged away.

Misato looked in the direction of the apostle in astonishment. "Do they want to use N2 mines? Shinji-kun, come in and get down! ”

After pushing the door twice, Misato found that the door was locked.

"Hey! Shinji-kun, what the hell are you doing? That's when you ......"

A blinding white light flashed, and a huge pillar of fire rose into the sky.

As the white light lit up, Ian turned. Showing 8 teeth, he laughed super youthfully, and stretched out his right hand to Misato and gave a thumbs up????

"Real men never look back at explosions!"

Before the shockwave arrived, Ian raised the helmet of the nanosuit.

"Cut...... Forget there's this thing on this imp. ”

The shock wave swept over Miri's car, and Misato found that, let alone being blown away, the car was not even shaking a little now.

I saw a large tree blown away by the shock wave and smashed sideways into Ian (Shinji), breaking in half and smashing into the glass of the car, which did not scratch at all.

"That nano combat suit... Can it assimilate other objects... Value... I'm afraid it's not less than EVA. Misato blinked, tentatively flicking the glass of the car. I didn't see the assimilation process......"

If Ian could hear Misato's words, he would definitely show it off. Ian put a lot of effort into reducing the assimilation process of the nanobots. Well, a whole decade.

"It seems that it is not something that he developed alone...! I'm afraid that the genius scholar of Ikari Yui left something behind for her son..."

Misato touched the glass of the car, which was completely indistinguishable from the original, and made up in her heart.

And Ian ...... is regretting this secondary two behavior, and his convulsion was clearly photographed by the enterprise number in the sky, and the whole process was videotaped.

In the internal communication channel, the six girls were all lying on the earth hammer floor laughing, especially when they saw that Ian had been smashed by a tree at least ten times and hit by a big rock three times in just thirty seconds.

is also very stupid to maintain a youthful posture than a thumb.

When the shock wave had completely passed, Misato restarted the car. Tilting his head to look at Ian.

"Let's get on the road."

"Hmm." Ian opened the car door and put away his helmet. Sit back in the co-pilot.

Misato drove quietly along the way, thinking about things like ......

"Do you want Ritsuko to analyze this car...... It's clear that this car has changed...... But the loan hasn't been repaid yet, it's annoying. ”

"You didn't ask me questions along the way, Miss Katsuragi."

Ian felt that the sister next to her looked preoccupied, which didn't fit her character as a stupid big sister in her heart.

I still spoke first.

"Huh?" Misato always felt like she was being robbed of her lines.

"For example, the origin of this dress, what happened to your car, why am I so calm in front of the big explosion."

"Everyone has their own secrets, and if you want to say it, you'll tell me sooner or later. After all, we're going to get along for a long time. ”

"Also, I'll tell you about these things slowly later."

"It's the entrance, you should be seeing it for the first time, Underground City." Renault stopped on a freight train temporarily deployed here.

"Well, speaking of the underground city, it's a naturally formed underground space, right? If it's done by hand......"

Suddenly, the view suddenly opened up, and it was quite a spectacular underground space. A super-large underground confined space with a height of nearly ten kilometers and a diameter of more than fifty kilometers.

"Wow... It's truly spectacular. Ian leaned against the window and looked down.

"This is our secret base, the headquarters of NERV, the key to rebuilding the world, the ultimate fortress of humanity."

"Hmm...... And what about arming? ”

"Huh?"

"Since it's a fortress, it should be well armed. Batteries, missile launchers, or whatever. Are all done hidden involvement? I can't see it at all, do the hidden designers mind introducing me when the time comes? Ian looked at the surface carefully, there were not many man-made elements, only two overpasses, a positive pyramid, a larger inverted pyramid, and a curved building.

And then there were almost no man-made structures left.

"Allah... You didn't say anything... The assault facilities are all on the ground......" Misato smiled awkwardly.

"So...... Such a large space... You've got countless N2 bombs buried in the ground, and when that thing destroys all the on-attack facilities, will you die with that thing? ”

"This is really ......," Misato leaned weakly on the steering wheel. Although I don't have much opinion on this design, why is it so sarcastic when it comes out of this little ghost's mouth?

"What a waste...", Ian surveyed the walls around the underground space. Forts can be added in these places......
