The apostle who attacked was the Night Angel, and when Li Xiao and Shinji rushed back to the NERV headquarters, the Night Angel had already entered the third new Tokyo City. When the underground train entered the underground tunnel, Li Xiao and Shinji confirmed the appearance of the apostle with the naked eye. The Night Angel appears to be a large, spherical creature with black and white strips all over its exterior, and it floats slowly among the high-rise buildings of the Third New Tokyo City, calm and seemingly unthreatening.

"That's ...... Apostle! The train rumbled through the underground tunnel, and Shinji's eyes widened in disbelief in the dim yellow light.

Li Xiao's expression was very solemn, he was worried about something else now. In the original plot, Shinji was accidentally devoured by the Night Angel while piloting the first plane, and finally killed the Night Angel by going berserk. Li Xiao definitely didn't plan to let Li Xiao be devoured again, nor did he plan to let the first machine run wild, so he had to find another way to kill the Night Angel. But the problem is, the Night Angels are special.

In fact, the black and white sphere floating slowly in the sky is not the body of the Night Angel at all, it is just the shadow of the Night Angel, and the black shadow under the sphere is the true body of the Night Angel. The biological form of the Night Angel is completely inconsistent with the basic common sense of human beings, and if you look at it from a human perspective, the body and shadow of the Night Angel are just reversed. However, for now, the Night Angel is still calm, and the shadow below the orb is just an ordinary dark gray shadow, and its body has not really been revealed.

This is where Li Xiao is in trouble, the Night Angel has no entity at all, what can he do to kill a shadow?

When Li Xiao and Shinji arrived at the battle hall, Asuka and Rei had already changed into combat uniforms and were ready for battle, but they had not yet boarded the EVA, and Misato, Ritsuko, and other operators were busy at their respective posts.

"What the hell is the radar station on Mt. Fuji! The apostles had already hit the door, and there was no reaction at all! Misato jumped into a rage and shouted at Shigeru Aoba.

Shigeru Aoba: "It wasn't detected, the target suddenly appeared over the city. ”

Makoto Hinata: "The blood type is orange, and no AT force field response has been found. ”

Ritsuko couldn't believe it: "What's going on? A new type of apostle? ”

Maya Ibuki: "MAGI has reservations about judgment. ”

At this time, the automatic door behind the second floor of the battle hall opened with a snort, and Li Xiao and Shinji rushed in in a panic.

"You two are here!" Asuka immediately shouted.

Misato was already busy at this time, so she just glanced back at Li Xiao and Shinji, and hurriedly said, "You two go and change into combat uniforms." ”

"Wait a minute, I have something to say." Li Xiao took a step forward and said loudly in a firm voice.

Misato, Ritsuko, Shinji, and Asuka were all stunned, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Xiao in unison.

Li Xiao looked up at the image of the apostle on the big screen, and said with a serious face: "This apostle ......"

Misato immediately glanced at him: "If you dare to say that this apostle looks like a tea egg, believe it or not, I will whip you." ”

Li Xiao almost fell to the ground, and pretended to be deep for a long time: "...... I haven't said anything yet. ”

Shinji and Ritsuko looked at Misato with a shocked look on their faces, shocked! Asuka slapped her head speechlessly: "It's over, Misato's brain circuit was also deviated by Xiaodai." ”

Li Xiao cried and laughed and spread his hands: "Blame me?" ”

Li looked at the night angel on the big screen, and said very seriously beside her: "It's really like a tea egg." ”

Li Xiao immediately went crazy: "I said that we can not discuss the matter of tea eggs?" Although I did think for a moment that this apostle looked a lot like a tea egg, it was not the point, the point was that I really had something very important to say! ”

Li Xiao straightened his face again, trying to create a heavy atmosphere where a big war was imminent, but just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, Asuka next to him suddenly burst out with a sigh of joy.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I want to be happy when I see Xiao pretending to be a serious child, don't blame me, who made him always be so hanging, hahaha......"

Li Xiao looked at Asuka leaning back and forth in that smile with a speechless expression, and turned his head to look at the others: "Is it really that funny?" ”

Misato nodded earnestly in the affirmative. Shinji also said timidly, "Xiao, you are really not suitable for pretending to be serious. ”

"......" Li Xiao looked sad, it seems that he can't be serious in his life.

"Okay, okay." Li Xiao sighed in frustration, and didn't think about how to create a depressing and heavy atmosphere, so he spoke directly. "I know a piece of information that is very important about this apostle." Li Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the night angel who was moving slowly on the big screen. "This tea egg...... Belch...... The spherical unknown creature is indeed an apostle, but it is not the apostle's body, it is only a shadow of the apostle, and its shadow is ...... is the true essence of the apostles. ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, everyone was taken aback, and Ritsuko, as a rigorous scientist, immediately questioned: "How do you know?" Is there any direct evidence? ”

Li Xiao thought for a while: "Uh...... I said I guess you believe it? ”

Ritsuko: "...... What if I don't believe it? ”

Li Xiao: "Oh, then you wait, I'll make up another reason." ”

Ritsuko: "......"

Misato: "......"

Shinji: "......"

Asuka: "I feel like my IQ has been insulted. ”

Li Xiao knew that after he told the characteristics of the Night Angel, Misato and Ritsuko would definitely ask all kinds of questions, such as the question Ritsuko is asking now, Li Xiao has no way to answer it at all. However, Li Xiao still decided to tell this very important piece of information, because he was not sure that he could kill the Night Angel alone, and he needed the help of Misato and Shinji and others.

Li Xiao scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks for a long time and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, and finally simply spread his hands, the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "Anyway, you believe me, what I said must be right, although I can't produce any evidence." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and when Misato saw Li Xiao's serious face, she leaned over to Ritsuko in small steps and whispered: "You know if he is sick again." ”

Ritsuko nodded approvingly: "Very likely." ”

Li Xiao was speechless: "I said, can you discuss whether I am sick in front of me?" ”

Misato was shocked: "You heard it all!" ”

Li Xiao immediately jumped up: "Nonsense, it's such a big fart, it's hard to hear it if I don't want to!" ”

At this time, Li suddenly raised her hand, and her expression was very serious: "I believe in Xiao." ”

Misato and Ritsuko couldn't help but be surprised, Rei would take the initiative to support the others, and this was really the sun coming out in the west. Immediately afterwards, Shinji also raised his hand: "I also believe in Akatsuki." ”

Li Xiao was immediately moved: "You ......"

Misato and Ritsuko glanced at each other, and Misato sighed lightly, "I'm also a little persuaded by Shinji and Rei. ”

Ritsuko couldn't believe it: "It's not scientific at all. ”

Misato hugged his chest: "Which apostolic science has been made so far?" ”

Ritsuko was speechless: "......"

"Although I don't know if what Xiao-chan said is true, but in this case, our information about the apostle is almost zero, and we can only take it as true." Misato turned his head to look at Li Xiao: "Since you can see the apostle's essence, can you find a way to eliminate it?" ”

Li Xiao shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this, but ...... I have an idea. At present, the apostle is still in a state of silence, its essence has not really appeared, and the shadow on the ground is just an ordinary shadow. However, once the apostles attacked, its essence was bound to appear. ”

Misato understood what Li Xiao meant: "In other words, must our side strike first?" ”

Li Xiao nodded: "It's just a feint, when the Apostle reveals its body, the four of us will immediately withdraw from the battlefield, and at the same time use the AT force field to interfere with the Apostle's AT force field, I think the strength of the four of us should be able to neutralize the Apostle's AT force field, take advantage of this gap, Sister Miri, you use as many N2 bombs as you use into the apostle's shadow, and blow up this tea egg!" ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, Misato and Ritsuko couldn't help but show surprised expressions, Misato turned her head to ask Ritsuko's opinion, Ritsuko thought carefully: "If Xiao's information about the apostle is true, this is indeed a feasible battle plan. ”

Misato thought for a moment, and then she just clenched her fists with a resolute expression on her face: "Good! Just act according to the plan that Xiao said, and the battle begins! ”
