Chapter 7 NERV Headquarters
Misato jerked her head up from the table, she brushed the strands of hair from her mouth, picked up her phone and clicked the answer button in a daze, and a hoarse voice like a witch came out of her throat: "Hey-"
Ritsuko Akagi's angry roar immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Misato Katsuragi, where did you run to?" What time is it now, why haven't you arrived at HQ yet! ”
Misato suddenly woke up, and when she looked at the watch on her left wrist, she jumped up from her chair with a bang, and it was already ten twenty. "Oops! It's late! ”
Li Xiao was woken up by Misato so much, he looked at Misato while shouting "Late, late", while rushing into his bedroom like the wind, and asked suspiciously: "What?" Is there any scheduling for Sunday? ”
Misato hurriedly changed her clothes across the door panel, stuck her head out and said to Li Xiao: "I'm going to train the driver today, Xiao-chan, you can come too." ”
Dawn...... Sauce? Li Xiao showed a strange expression. But then Li Xiao didn't bother with the name problem, because he realized another thing that made him extremely excited: he was about to enter the headquarters of NERV and see the real EVA!
Li Xiao suddenly had a sense of happiness that wanted to burst into tears.
"Akatsuki-chan, wake up Shinji and Asuka." Misato said.
"Understood!"
It took Li Xiao a lot of effort to wake up Shinji and Asuka, and when they woke up, their little faces were miserable and white, and the feeling of hangover was uncomfortable.
Asuka couldn't help but vomit and hurriedly covered her mouth: "Huh...... It's disgusting. ”
"It's so uncomfortable...... Shinji brackezed his eyelids, and his swaying eyes looked like he was about to fall asleep again, when Misato finally changed his clothes and came out.
Misato: "You're all set. ”
Shinji: "Misato-san, I want to ......"
Misato: "Okay, let's go!" ”
Shinji: "......"
Then Shinji was carried out by Misato like a little chick......
Misato drove Li Xiao, Shinji, and Asuka through eight red lights in a row, and when they arrived at the station leading to the underground city, not to mention Shinji and Asuka, Li Xiao almost threw up, uh...... Shinji has already vomited.
Female drivers are so scary.
"The gate is closing, please note."
With a snort, the gates of the station closed, and the vehicle transport train to the underground city began to start.
Shinji had a disparate face, and the whole person collapsed weakly in his seat, looking as if he only had half a life left. Asuka sat next to Shinji, and when she saw his uncomfortable appearance, she couldn't help but say, "It's just a little drinking, it's really not presentable, stupid Shinji, hey, are you okay?" ”
This is tsundere, I obviously care about it, but I have to hurt others.
Shinji smiled wryly: "I, I'm fine." ”
The train clattered through the tunnel, and after a while, the front suddenly opened up, and the train drove out of the tunnel. The dazzling sunlight shone into the car, and rows of huge high-rise buildings appeared in front of everyone's eyes, hanging neatly upside down like stalactites on the dome of the underground city. Li Xiao was lying on the window of the car with a shocked expression. The huge underground space and the upside-down patio city, these incredible scenes in the anime are now truly presented in front of him, and the shocking feeling is simply indescribable, anyway, Li Xiao is completely stunned.
"This is the underground city, oh my God, ma'am, it's amazing!" Li Xiao had an irrepressible smile of excitement on his face, if it wasn't for the car, he would have jumped up excitedly.
Looking down the track, Li Xiao saw the headquarters of NERV, a pyramid-shaped building. Li Xiao knew that this pyramid was only a small part of the NERV headquarters, and there was even more space further down.
The rolling stock train traveled on the aerial track for a while before going underground again, and finally came to a stop at a station inside the NERV. The four men got out of the car, walked onto the moving walkway and left the station. The moving walkway slowly advanced through the tunnel, and one after another automatic doors with NERV printed on them opened in front of them, and the long passage seemed to be endless. This massive underground structure has a labyrinthine underground passage that will get you lost if you enter it for the first time without a guide, uh...... In fact, even if Li Xiao is led by someone today, it seems that he is lost.
"It's weird, I guess it's right to go this way." Misato stood at the front of the line with a map of the NERV headquarters in her hand.
"Sure enough, you should have walked from the third entrance you just passed." Shinji said quietly beside him.
"No, you should go to the sixth gate just now!" Asuka retorted fiercely.
Li Xiao was speechless: "...... Do you really work here? ”
Misato turned around and smiled awkwardly, "Oh, because I don't usually walk this path, I'm not very familiar with it." In short, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, huh...... Let's go up from the fourteenth gate in front of us. ”
The four of them left the moving walkway from Exit 14 and boarded the elevator after passing through a long corridor, "Let's go, let's go", the elevator continued to descend, and a little, with a ding, the elevator door opened, and Ritsuko Akagi's cloudy face appeared in front of Mirichi.
"Oops, Ritsuko." Misato looked embarrassed.
"First Lieutenant Ge Cheng, you were an hour and thirty-two minutes late, I can't believe it." Ritsuko walks into the elevator.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Huh?" Ritsuko leaned forward and sniffed, surprised, "You drank last night?" ”
"Oh, this is ......" Misato smiled weakly.
Ritsuko looked at Asuka and Shinji and found that their little faces were pale and sluggish, obviously they didn't have a good rest last night, and even worse, she actually smelled alcohol from both of them.
Ritsuko had a look of disbelief on her face: "Shinji and Asuka also drank?" ”
Shinji scratched his cheeks, a little embarrassed, "I drank a little last night." ”
Asuka didn't care about the forked waist: "It's just a little wine, what's all the fuss?" I'm already an adult. ”
Ritsuko turned her head to glare at Misato, who was even more empty-hearted: "Hehe, because I was so happy last night, and besides, I drank a little too much......"
"A little? I'm afraid I'm drunk. ”
"Okay, drunk."
Ritsuko put her hand on her forehead and sighed helplessly: "Alas, I really lost to you." Then, Ritsuko noticed Li Xiao who was standing on the side. Ahla, this must be Li Xiao from China, hello. ”
Li Xiao grinned, revealing a neat row of white teeth: "Hello, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi." ”
"Do you recognize me?" Ritsuko was a little surprised.
Li Xiao snorted: "Of course, you are a celebrity." ”
"Celebrities don't dare to be." Ritsuko carefully observed Li Xiao and found that Li Xiao was in good spirits and in much better condition than Shinji and Asuka, so she asked. "You seem to be in good spirits, didn't you drink last night?"
Li Xiao proudly straightened his chest: "I have a good amount of wine." ”
Ritsuko: "......"
This time, Ritsuko led the way and the group finally didn't have to worry about getting lost, out of the elevator, Ritsuko took the group to turn left and right in the underground corridor, and finally came to a place that seemed to be an experimental hall, in the center of the hall was placed a row of instruments that looked very high-end and atmospheric, and the staff in white coats were busy around the instrument, and in front of the instrument was a huge glass wall, through which you could see the huge test site below. At this time, Zero, Primary, and Two, all stood quietly with their backs against the wall, waiting for their owners for a long time.
Walking into the experimental hall, Li Xiao immediately rushed forward with an exclamation, and the whole person was lying on the glass wall like a gecko, and his two eyes were almost popping out. This is the real EVA, the real Zero, the first and the second, with your own naked eyes to confirm that this huge ultimate humanoid weapon is completely different from the feeling when you watch it through the computer screen, the shock is from the heart, only when you really stand in front of EVA, will you realize how small human beings are.
"FIRST TIME YOU'VE SEEN EVA?" Ritsuko Akagi walked to Li Xiao's side. "I remember that you China is also making?"
"Hey! Are we making it over there? Li Xiao was very surprised.
"You don't know? It's no secret. ”
At this time, a delicate voice suddenly sounded from behind Li Xiao, although the voice was very good, but it was too cold: "Dr. Akagi." ”
Li Xiao turned around and saw a short-haired beautiful girl in a white combat uniform standing behind him, he immediately jumped up and shouted in surprise: "Ayanami Li!" ”
