The Eighth Apostle was annihilated by the cooperation of the First Machine, the Zero Machine, and the Second Plane, and as this operation was completed logically, the relationship between the three pilots quickly became closer.

The NERV-affiliated substructure construction crew is repairing the site of the damage caused by the Eighth Apostle in the city, and the staff inside Al-Qaeda are urgently repairing the wounds caused by the attack on the First Apostle, after all, no one knows when the Ninth Apostle will come.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayaba, Asuka, and Misato Katsuragi for the time being, and the three teenagers and girls in front follow the adults behind them to eat the "big meal" she promised beforehand - if the cheap ramen sold at the roadside stalls is also a big meal.

Third, the alarm in New Tokyo City was lifted, and the previous calm was restored, and the people who had taken refuge in the bomb shelters came out one after another, and quickly resumed their usual rhythm of life.

In this regard, Zeroview has to praise the spiritual tenacity of these people.

As the city comes back to life, an extremely secret secret room somewhere in the NERV headquarters is opened, and Gento Ikari and Kozen Fuyutsuki walk in. Ikari walked over to a chair in the center of the room and sat down, Fuyutsuki Kozen closed the door and locked it, walked behind Ikari and stood quietly.

Buzz ――――――

The dark room lit up with a dark red light, and seven strange stone tablets appeared around the two of them in a floating fashion, the most conspicuous on the surface of the stone tablets were the numbers from one to seven.

That's right, these are the absolute top people of SEELE who hold the lifeblood of the whole world behind the scenes.

"So far, the program is going very well. Well done, Ikati, we really didn't choose the wrong person in the first place. The No. 1 stele said.

"It's over." Ikari Yuandu replied lightly.

A voice came from the No. 2 stone tablet: "I have been with that young man for so long, have you gained anything?" ”

The lenses in front of Ikari Yuandu flashed. "I wonder what you mean by harvest?"

"Of course, it's where he came from, how he has that power, and what his purpose is...... What do you think these things are, Commander Ikati? ”

Yuandu didn't say anything.

Several other stone tablets were wordlessly suspended, as if waiting for his answer, and as if they were despising him. The atmosphere in the room became a little inexplicably weird.

Really...... These old men at SEELE couldn't sit still. Dongyue Xingzeng looked at Yuandu's back with an expressionless face, Ikari, how do you answer?

"Nothing." Yuandu Ikari spat out four words lightly, and then continued, "The other party has been busy with the restoration of marine biological systems, and recently he has been carrying out the restoration of other living things, and he has not been affected by other things or other purposes. ”

“…… Is it? I see. The tone of the No. 1 stele was a little strange, and then he himself noticed the strangeness and coughed. He said in a deep voice, "That's it." Ikari, the plan has reached a critical time, and there are absolutely no accidents, do you understand? ”

"Of course, the realization of the "Human Completion Project" is my most important goal in life, and I will not let it happen in any way, so please rest assured that !!" Yuandu Ikari said firmly.

"That's good."

"Next. We'll send the EVA No. 3 and the puppet system to the third new Tokyo City, where you will conduct separate testing experiments. ”

Yuandu subconsciously frowned. "Puppet system? That kind of thing has already been developed? ”

"Yes, with the puppet system, the EVA body can be completely controlled by us."

"Even if something goes wrong, there is room for a turnaround."

Ikari Gendu showed a hint of displeasure on his face and said, "With all due respect, the puppet system ......"

"Ikari!"

The No. 1 stele made a sound that interrupted Gento Ikaru's words. "THIS IS SEELE'S ORDER. Also, Unit Three and the puppet system are already on their way to the Third New Tokyo City, so get ready to receive them. ”

“…… I understand. ”

"Don't let us down, !! Ikari"

Meaningfully put down this sentence, and the light of the seven stone tablets all disappeared. The room was plunged back into darkness, silent without a sound.

"Ikari ......"

"Teacher Dongyue, arrange it and get ready to receive the No. 3 machine and the puppet system." Ikari Yuandu thought for a moment and continued, "Also, freeze the second machine. ”

“…… Well,"

******

Since the "Vatican Treaty" clearly stipulates that "a country shall not have more than three EVA aircraft", the first plane, the zero plane, the second plane, plus the third machine that has just been shipped, there are already three EVAs here in the third new Tokyo city, so one must be sealed.

Naturally, this sealed quota fell on the head of the second machine.

It's not because she's not a heroine and doesn't have a heroine aura, but because the ownership of the second machine is not here, and she is still directly under the European government, and the NERV organization here has no right to use her. Therefore, after the second unit was sealed, Asuka could no longer drive the EVA.

"Damn! If I didn't have EVA, then what ...... would I have" With a "bang", Asuka slammed her fist on the glassware in front of her, her face full of unwillingness and annoyance, "What the hell is that treaty that doesn't even care about this kind of thing?" Have you had nothing to do when you were full!! ”

"Who made your EVA made by someone else? Also, Miss, you should be lighter, there are very important experimental materials in there. ”

Zero Guan glanced at Asuka helplessly, "Then again, why are you telling me about this kind of thing?" It's better to say to Shinji Ikari that maybe you can be comforted. ”

"Cut !!"

Asuka snorted and turned her head: "Who...... Who...... Who is rare about him!! ”

Miss, you have said what is in your heart very subtly.

I see, if you don't say it directly, you are worthy of the arrogance of the ancestor world.

Zero Guan looked at her funny, "Say, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Do you want me to teach a lesson to the guys who froze your second machine? ”

"I'm not that kind of child. I'm just here to talk to you, and I don't have any other intentions. As she spoke, Asuka gritted her teeth on her face.

“…… Oh. I see. Zero looked at it for a moment, and then laughed.

Due to the influence of the magic trick, the three problematic teenagers and girls gradually untie their hearts and begin to try to contact the real reality, naturally, for the longest time. And because of the genetic ties, the relationship between Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami is completely like a boyfriend and girlfriend in love in the eyes of others.

In this way, Asuka, who is interested in Shinji Ikari but is embarrassed to show it, can only be secretly annoyed and depressed in her heart, and will come to Zero View here mostly because she can chat with her, enlighten her, Misato Katsuragi and the class leader girl don't have time to get along with her.

It's really a tsundere to ruin your life!!

Then again, is she using me as a psychological mentor?

"Jingle Bell ――――――"

Asuka's mobile phone rang suddenly, Asuka took out her phone and opened it, glanced at the display on the display, and immediately "cut".

And then. She casually closed her phone and reinstalled it.

Seeing the unhappy expression on her face, Ling Guan asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Well, nothing, it's a text message from a favored one."

"Favored ...... You mean Rei Ayana, your relationship is good enough to be able to text each other, congratulations, congratulations. Zero Guan smiled.

"Our relationship isn't that good." Asuka clasped her hands to her chest. He said unhappily, "I'm just driving the EVA." Instead of piloting the No. 3 machine for an experiment, she politely sent me a text message thanking me. The real one must have been influenced by that idiot. ”

"Hehe......" Zero Guan smiled lightly, and said in his heart: No. 3 machine? I see, that is, the ninth apostle has come.

In the play. The invasion of the Ninth Apostle is a very famous event.

Asuka piloted the No. 3 machine to conduct an experiment at the Matsushiro Experimental Field, but as a result, the Ninth Apostle, who had eroded into the No. 3 machine beforehand, took the opportunity to invade, usurped the control of the No. 3 machine, and went straight to the NERV headquarters from the experimental site. Subsequently, Ikari Gento dispatched the first aircraft equipped with the puppet system to meet the battle.

Because I know that there is also a driver in the No. 3 machine. Shinji Ikari was unable to make a move, so Ikari Gento ordered the puppet system to be activated, and the forcibly controlled Hatsuki dismembered the body of the No. 3 machine in a violent combat manner, and the insertion bolt carrying the pilot Asuka was also bitten on the spot.

Shinji, who witnessed this scene, felt very remorseful for killing someone, and later learned that the pilot was Asuka (at this time he thought Asuka was dead), and drove the first machine to threaten and trample on the NERV headquarters until the LCL concentration increased and the first machine stopped.

The invasion of the Ninth Apostle re-threw Shinji Ikari, who had just had the hope of coming out of despair, into the valley of despair, and made him know the cruelty of "adulthood" and "reality". At the same time, the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of Ikari Gento, and the unscrupulous means to achieve the end are further manifested here.

This scene of abusing Asuka is regarded by a group of otaku as one of the many classic scenes of "EVA".

Now, Asuka has taken over the task of driving the third machine instead of Rei Ayana, which means that this big event is about to be staged vigorously.

After a few words of gossip, Asuka left after being continued by Zero View to hint at the influence of magic.

"The Ninth Apostle...... Let's go see it. ”

Unfold the magic trick to easily find the location of the third machine, and Zero Guan stepped here. Although the people who were busy around him were surprised by his appearance, there was no more surprise than that. Now that a person from the NERV organization knows that there are such "god" people in the base, it is not strange that there are no gods.

Zero Guan didn't care about these people, and looked up at the huge humanoid machine bound by various wires and restraints. The appearance of the third machine is not much different from other EVAs, the most different is that the color of the armor coating is black, and the color of the waist and wrists is white.

"This is the ...... of machine three" (to be continued......)
