"Shinji? Shinji? Then, Kensuke Aida raised his hand and touched Shinji Ikari, who was silent beside him, and summoned him back from his own world.

"What?" Shinji Ikari said.

"Look over there." Kensuke Aida pointed not far away and said.

"Wow!" Following Kensuke Aita's guidance, Fuyuji Suzuki, who was looking over, also let out a cry of surprise.

Shinji Ikari then turned his head and looked over. Suddenly, the figures of a man and a girl caught Shinji Ikari's eyes.

- The man and the girl are none other than the blessed Ryoji and Asuka who look like prodigal sons and artists. At this time, Asuka, who is usually proud like a princess, is wrapping around the arm of Bless Ryoji like an ordinary girl, and keeps telling Bless Ryoji with a happy face......

"Lin Yiyan? I know, a very nasty fellow. Asuka, who was almost attached to the blessing of Ryoji, said with an unhappy expression.

After a pause, he continued with some amazement and puzzlement, "But that guy is very mysterious, and he doesn't seem to be human, not only does he have weapons and equipment that are so exaggerated that they can't be explained by modern technology, but even he can fly autonomously like an apostle, if he wasn't in NERV, and others think it's okay, I would have thought he was an apostle at all." ”

"Really? That's an amazing existence. Bless Ryoji sighed.

"By the way? Why did you suddenly ask about that guy? After saying Lin Yiyan's Asuka pause, he asked in some surprise.

"I went to NERV today and overheard the staff talking, so I was curious about who he was." Blessing good governance perfunctory.

"Oh." Asuka: Suddenly.

"Then you shouldn't have anything else to do today, right?" Then, Asuka asked expectantly.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to leave later." Bless Ryoji said apologetically.

"Huh? So fast? It's rare that people still want to date you. Asuka said disappointedly.

"I'm sorry about that." Bless Ryoji apologized again.

"Forget it, I also know that you have work to do, so this time I'll just let you send me home, this should be fine, right?" But fortunately, in the face of blessing Ryoji, Asuka's emotions come and go quickly, so immediately. Asuka said with another cute girlish look.

"That's fine." Bless the path of good governance.

"Then let's go home!" Asuka said happily. Then the two of them ignored the eyes of the outside world looking at them, snuggled up and walked back towards the dormitory arranged for her by NERV.

………

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and just as Asuka and Bless Ryoji were about to arrive home, an air raid siren that resounded throughout the entire Third New Tokyo City suddenly sounded.

“eng……”

And in this era when there is no war, it is naturally impossible for there to be an air raid, but since it sounds, then something must have happened, and it is something that people in this era are quite familiar with - the apostles are coming!

"Apostle!?" Asuka said in an ugly hateful voice, "Damn, why is this time!" ”

"Looks like we're going to have to separate here." Bless Ryoji withdrew his hand from Asuka's arms and chuckled, "Go ahead." Don't lose time. ”

"Really, it's rare to be able to see the blessing." Asuka complained. Then, he emphasized, "Okay, I'm leaving, remember to come and see me next time you have time." ”

"Yes." Bless Ryoji nodded in response.

"Damn apostle, I must make you beautiful." With that, Asuka quickly ran towards the entrance and exit passage of the nearby NERV headquarters with her schoolbag in her hand. Bless Ryoji gave Asuka a moment, then retracted his gaze and took out a mobile phone from his pocket. Bring up a set of numbers from your address book, press the dial-through button and put it to your ear.

"Dut...... Toot ......"

"Kah." Soon, the phone was connected. Then, an old voice came from the phone.

"How's the investigation going?"

"I guess I've got some eyebrows." Bless Ryoji as he walked slowly towards the shelter. Holding his phone between his cheeks and shoulders, he took out a shriveled cigarette pack from his pocket, took out a crumpled cigarette from it, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter. Take a deep breath and exhale a gray flue.

"The guy you asked me to investigate is called Lin Yiyan, who claims to be a human being. However, judging from the private conversations of NERV staff, this does not seem to be the case. With inhuman powers, he can unfold the AT force field unique to the Apostle, and he also has some special items in his hands that seem to be inexplicable with current technology, so he is a very tricky guy in terms of the overall situation. ”

"In addition, as for the Japanese branch of NERV, Ikari Gendo and Fuyutsuki Kozo are still alive, but the former has an unexplained amnesia, as if everything else about EVA, about the apostle, and even the plan has been forgotten except for knowing who he is and mastering some basic knowledge of life. Although the latter retains the memories of his completed life, his memories of EVA and the Apostles and plans have also disappeared inexplicably. ”

"At present, the two are living in the third new Tokyo city as family members with Ikari Motodo and Shinji Ikari as the third qualified person."

"NERV was taken over by Lin Yiyan, but he himself is not currently in the NERV headquarters, and further investigation is needed as for his whereabouts."

"You're saying that guy isn't in NERV Japan?" The old man on the phone said confirmingly.

"Yes." Blessing Ryoji affirmed.

"I know, continue to investigate, and notify me as soon as there is news." The old man said.

"Understood." Bless the path of good governance. Then he hung up and put the phone back away.

At this time, the third new Tokyo city also began to enter a state of martial law.

"SEELE, NERV, Human Completion Project, Lin Yiyan...... One by one, it's not easy. Bless Ryoji looked up at the sky, exhaled a long sigh of smoke. He then withdrew his gaze and continued towards the general evacuation shelter.

………

On the other side, after some preparations, the No. 2 and the newly adjusted No. 5 aircraft flew towards the Kii Peninsula under the heavy transport plane. As for the zero machine, which had also been confirmed to be free of problems and could be dispatched at any time, it was left at the headquarters in case of an accident.

On the road leading from the third Shin-Tokyo city to the Kii Peninsula, the power supply vehicle and the temporary combat command vehicle, which were auxiliary units, were also trailing towards the Kii Peninsula at high speed behind the two heavy carrier aircraft.

"As a result of the battle three days ago, the defense system of the Third New Tokyo City was damaged, and the repair rate is currently only 82%, although it does not affect the actual battle, but considering the progress and what happened afterward. Therefore, this attack must be launched before the target lands and while still in the water! Deliver the Fatal Blow! Misato Katsuragi, who was in the makeshift command vehicle and rushed to the front line with the two planes, said in a solemn voice.

"The second and fifth planes first carry out interactive wave attacks on the target, and then conduct close combat, understand?"

"Understood!" Asuka and Makipo answered together.

Then the contact was cut off, and it became an intra-team communication.

"Really, this is the real virgin battle since I arrived in Japan, so why don't you leave it to me alone." Asuka complained, "And with that bandit." ”

"Princess, I can't pretend I didn't hear that." It was only before her words fell, and Makiha's image jumped out of Asuka's cockpit. Said lightly.

"What if you hear that? Wait, don't hold me back! Asuka said with an unhappy expression.

"The princess is you, don't be defeated by the apostles later, in that case, I will have more reason to rob your second machine." Makibo said as he looked at Asuka with a playful look in his eyes.

"Hmph, make your spring and autumn dreams!" Tomorrow's aroma hummed. He then cut off contact with Shin Hipo.

"It's getting less and less cute." In the cockpit of the No. 5 aircraft, Makibo muttered quietly in a voice that only he could hear.

A few minutes later, the two machines were put into the designated location and plugged in with the help of the power supply vehicle.

"Power starts!" Then the two machines stood up from the ground. Step by step, we walked towards the sea ahead. After a while, they stopped on the shore and in the water, and each took up his arms, waiting for the apostle's arrival.

Here I have to talk about the configuration of the two machines. The second machine is still the same as in the original book. Holding an EVA spear with a high-frequency vibrating spear head. Due to the design concept, the No. 5 machine has been replaced by a conical gun post and huge pliers similar to the ancient knight's gun, but fortunately, the head part of the right hand has its own rotating live ammunition launcher. Therefore, it is possible to carry out medium and long-range shooting attacks at the same level.

Originally, it was supposed to have four legs, but it was probably because Lin Yiyan came too early, and only two were installed when he got it. Later, after the technical transformation of Ritsuko Akagi and the Japanese branch of NERV, the mechanical support leg with an axle that was supposed to be suitable for local ground type was completely replaced with humanoid feet similar to the zero, primary, and second planes, barely reaching the level of all-terrain application.

It's just that for this reason, some of the already small inventory materials in the NERV headquarters have to be consumed, which makes the supply of NERV even more strained.

And this is also something that can't be helped, after all, although NERV is still NERV on the surface, but in the end, it is a change of owner, there is no guy like Ikari Yuantang, who is thick-faced and black-hearted, and dares to play with SEELE, it is impossible to have enough funds or anything to be as sufficient as before, not to mention, SEELE definitely does not want the power under Lin Yiyan's hands to be too strong, and it will definitely limit the supply and approval of EVA materials, so in the near future, it is inevitable that the problem of material supplementation will be given.
