"It's really amazing that you've found the right one..."Riding in the elevator, Misato Katsuragi said with a fluttering look in her eyes.

"Ding~"

The elevator door opens, and a woman with blonde hair and a doctor's coat and a cyan one-piece swimsuit walks in.

"What did you do, Captain Katsuragi, I'm short of manpower and time is urgent." The woman complained.

"I'm sorry." Misato Katsuragi looked embarrassed.

"Huh? Is this an all-round driver from China? It's good-looking. The woman noticed Xuan Mo standing behind Misato Katsuragi and greeted, "Hello, my name is Ritsuko Akagi." ”

"Well, hello Dr. Akagi."

"You know me?"

"I've seen some information about it."

Ritsuko Akagi nodded, not surprised by this, and turned to look at Shinji Ikari who was reading a book blankly, "This kid is really similar to his father." ”

"yes, the same dullness." Misato Katsuragi agreed.

Shinji Ikari: "??? ”

After getting out of the elevator, taking the motorboat again, and walking ashore for a while, several people saw a huge mecha head, only the head could be seen, because the lower part was soaked in a purple chemical liquid.

Ikari was taken aback, but Xuan Mo shrugged, this should be the first machine introduced in the system, and it was the information that he should have known as a driver in China.

Seeing this behemoth, Shinji Ikari immediately looked through the booklet in his hand, but unfortunately there was nothing in it, and then Ritsuko Akagi introduced what this big mecha was.

A screen above the front of everyone suddenly lit up, and a middle-aged man appeared on the screen.

"Long time no see." The man looked at the crowd, but he was actually staring at Shinji Ikari.

Seeing that the two of them had some similar appearances, Xuan Mo looked at Misato Katsuragi, "Are they father and son?" ”

"Uh, yes."

Shinji Ikari's expression is a little complicated, you don't have to think about it to know that this is a child who lacks father's love, just look at the awkward atmosphere between father and son.

"Sortie." Ikari Gendo said suddenly.

"Sortie?"

Misato Katsuragi was shocked, "Isn't Machine Zero still frozen?" Don't... Is it to use the first machine? ”

"There is no other choice." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"But Zero can't move yet, there's no driver..."Misato Katsuragi froze, because she saw Ritsuko Akagi's eyes first looking at Shinji Ikari and then at a Xuan Mo walking behind her.

"Shinji Ikari, you come and drive." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"What, even if you want to drive, it should be Xuan Mo, he's at least an official driver, and Shinji is just an adaptor." Misato Katsuragi retorted that she wasn't taking sides, but was on a case-by-case basis.

"This is Commander Ikati's order." Ritsuko Akagi replied calmly.

"But... It took seven months for Ayanami to synchronize with Eva, how could he possibly drive Eva! Misato Katsuragi is still opposed.

"Is that why you called me?" Shinji Ikari suddenly spoke up, and Ritsuko Akagi and Misato Katsuragi stopped arguing.

"yes, it's obvious, isn't it?" Ikari Gendo said as a matter of course, his eyes calm.

"You want me to drive this thing and fight the thing I just saw?" Shinji Ikari's tone was already excited.

"That's right." Ran Ikari Gentang's tone was still calm.

Shinji Ikari seems to have been stimulated by something.

"I don't want it! See me only when you need me, and I don't want to fight that thing! Shinji Ikari looked up and shouted, tears of grievance glinting in his eyes.

"That's why I saw you because I needed you."

"Why me..."

"Because no one else can't."

"Then how can I do it, why can I do it if others can't do it! Yes? ”

"I'll ask you, if you can't get up, if you can't, go home." Ikari Gendo seemed to have lost his patience.

All the staff members watched this conversation between father and son, and they were also waiting for Shinji Ikari's choice.

Thundered...

The whole space suddenly shook, and it was the apostles attacking the place, and it was discovered.

"Shinji, there's no time left." Ritsuko Akagi urged.

"No, don't, it's hard to see each other, but it's because of this that I don't want to." Shinji Ikari refused.

"Go and let Zero come over." Seeing this, Ikari Gentang said in a deep voice.

The staff received the order and immediately carried it out.

"It's really unpleasant." Xuan Mo muttered, but he was ignored.

Walked out from behind Misato Katsuragi and looked at the high platform, his sister's, he even had a day to look up at others, so he was not used to it.

"Hey, there's a lack of drivers here." The flat voice made everyone's eyes focus.

"You're... The driver sent from China? ”

"Hey, since you know that you have ignored me for a long time."

Ikari Gendo was silent for two seconds, as if thinking about something, and said, "You... Let's pilot the first machine. ”

"Hmm."

In response, Xuan Mo looked at Ritsuko Akagi, "Take me to the capsule." ”

"Huh? Oh. Ritsuko Akagi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the capsule that Xuan Mo said was an insertion bolt connected to the eva, which can also be called the cockpit, and the shape of that thing was indeed very similar to the capsule.

Lying in the cockpit, it began to be filled with water, Xuan Mo didn't care, people who have even been to the universe are still afraid of this bit of water? What's more, the water is mixed with nutrient solution, which can directly provide the oxygen supply he needs in his body, and he can't drown.

"It's a formal driver, and his mind is very calm." In the accusation room, Ritsuko Akagi, who was observing Xuan Mo's reaction, exclaimed.

"All indicators are normal, and the synchronization rate is 79!!" The operator replied in surprise.

"That's amazing!" Ritsuko Akagi also looked amazed, it is already good to be able to reach 30 synchronization rate in the first contact, and the synchronization rate in the first contact reaches 79, which is unheard of.

This synchronization rate is not unattainable by other drivers, but it requires long-term running-in training to achieve this level.

Thundered~

The entire base shook, and several pieces of the ceiling fell, and just then, a team of nurses pushed a hospital bed out of the passageway, and it looked like it was about to be hit by the deck.

Boom.

Amid the dull crashing sound, the workshop fell into silence.

"It's... This guy actually broke free of the bondage directly! A staff member exclaimed, staring at the outstretched arm of the first machine in a stunned state to catch the falling object and save the nurses and the pilot of the zero machine.

"What are you doing! Don't get people away yet! Misato Katsuragi shouted. Immediately there were staff to help evacuate the wounded.

"It's a nuisance." Xuan Mo muttered, and the voice was transmitted to the entire workshop through communication, and then under the shocked gaze of everyone, he directly removed the restraint on the other side, walked to the launch pad and stood still, waiting for the launch.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, the driver in China... Are they all that tough?
