Two days later, Ian returned to the Third New Tokyo City.

He first returned to NERV to report, Misato and others are testing the synchronization rate of EVA drivers, today the preliminary trimming of the zero machine was completed, and the three drivers came to NERV after school for daily testing.

"Asuka's and Ayanami's stats are about the same as usual, but Shinji's synchronization rate has dropped a lot compared to the other day." Ritsuko Akagi looked at the screen.

"The results of the midterm test are out, and he didn't do very well." Misato Katsuragi said, "I guess it has something to do with that." ”

"Well, it's normal to have some fluctuations." Ritsuko Akagi nodded: "It's already okay, let's stop this data collection this time." ”

The plug popped out, and the three of them breathed air back from the LCL liquid, and went to the shower room to take a shower and change clothes.

The first one to come out was Rei Ayabaami, who asked, "Hasn't Commander Ikari come back yet?" ”

"The commander is still on a business trip." Ritsuko Akagi replied.

"Then I'll go back first." Rei Ayanami bowed slightly.

Ian, who had just returned, met Rei Ayanami at the elevator entrance.

Rei Ayabaami's gaze shifted suddenly, and Rei Ayanami kept staring at his face as Ian waited for his next elevator.

"I'm Rei Ayaami, the pilot of Unit Zero, and you're Mr. Ian." Rei Ayanami said.

"Did Asuka and Shinji tell you that?" Ian nodded, this was the first time he had spoken to Rei Ayabaami.

"Hmm." Rei Ayanami nodded, she was silent for a while, and said, "You're weird. ”

"Strange? Why? Ian didn't know what Rei Ayanami meant.

He looked down at his uniform, which he had sorted out in the mirror before coming, was he saying that he looked strange? After all, the Eldians are the faces of Westerners, and for the Japanese, this kind of appearance is not very common.

But he thinks that his face is not so strange that people can describe it as "strange".

"I can't feel it." Rei Ayanami said, "Obviously you're standing in front of me. ”

After saying this, Rei Ayanami realized that her words were a little impolite: "I'm sorry I said something strange, please don't pay attention." ”

She bowed and walked away towards the exit.

Ian, who walked into the elevator, carefully reflected on Rei Ayaami's words, he remembered that Rei Ayanami was an artificial human, a clone of Shinji's mother, and Rei Ayaami's soul was not the same as other humans, but from the second apostle, Lilith.

"Is it the reason for AT's stance?" Ian guessed.

Rei Ayanami is a conscious personality born from the Apostle, and she should more or less feel that Ian lacks the particularity of the AT force field.

Ian followed the elevator to the interior of the NERV headquarters and made a brief report.

In order to prevent him from revealing flaws in his unskilled computer use technology, Bless Ryoji to find a way to transfer him to the Apostle Operations Department, his task is basically to be responsible for Asuka's daily situation report, as long as the Apostle does not come, it can be said that it is quite idle.

In his free time, he uses the NERV computer to surf the Internet and look up some ancient science and technology, which his colleagues think is his hobby.

After the report, he followed the process and went to meet with his boss Misato Katsuragi, who came with Asuka and Shinji, shouting that she had been paid at the beginning of the month, and that she was having a treat today.

Misato drove her small car and the three of them to the shopping street.

Although the Apostles' attack caused many residents of New Tokyo City to move away, relatively speaking, a large number of people are still willing to live here.

Where is the apostle attack is not an attack, but there is still EVA and NERV in New Tokyo City, who are in charge of defense, and if you move to another place and meet a big monster, there is nowhere to run.

Besides, there are tens of thousands of military members living here, and there are always so many people, no matter how cold they are, they can't get anywhere.

Misato invites them to eat conveyor belt sushi, and they sit in a separate private room with a long table in front of them, and on the right side of the long table, are rotating tracks, and on the straps are plates of sushi, each covered with a transparent glass cover.

The reason why the cover is covered is because there have been news in the past, there are bad teenagers who spit on other people's sushi, and after that incident, many conveyor belt sushi restaurants have changed their practices and used lids to protect food.

Ian is not very interested in sushi, but the ingredients in this house are very fresh, there are high-end seafood, and it tastes good, and it can be seen that Misato has invested in it.

With a full stomach, Misato drove everyone back to the apartment.

Not long after returning to the house, Ian received a text message from Bless Ryoji, asking him to come to NERV to "work overtime".

I said hello to Asuka and said that Mr. Bless was looking for him, and he went out in the night.

At nine o'clock in the evening, he was in the NERV eco-zone to meet with Bless Ryoji.

NERV has a complete ecosystem built underground, where artificial sunlight is located, plants and animals, and the sunrise and sunset are synchronized with the outside.

Bless Ryoji is watering his watermelon seedlings, the growth of watermelons is very good, now there is only summer in Japan, and the sales of watermelons to relieve the heat are very good, but Bless Ryoji is not planting melons for the sake of selling melons, he just simply likes to water watering watermelon seedlings, or rather, he likes plants and animals very much, and likes nature.

"I'm sorry to be looking for you so late." Bless Ryoji put down the kettle: "There is something wrong, I want to ask you for help." ”

"Say it here, okay?" Ian asked.

"It's okay, this is my own field." Blessing Ryoji said.

"Since Mr. Blessing said so, if there is anything I can do, please tell me."

"Thanks, great help." Blessing scratched his head: "Actually, it was the Japanese government that asked me to investigate the NERV matter, the UN army, the Japanese government, SEELE and NERV, although they were forced to unite because of the second shock, but the forces of all parties are not a whole. ”

"The Japanese government, on the other hand, suspects that NERV may launch a third attack, and they plan to cut off the power supply at the NERV headquarters so that they can investigate the headquarters."

"In other words, has this crucial work been entrusted to Mr. Blessing?" Ian asked.

"That's right." Blessing nodded: "I also want to use this opportunity to conduct an investigation into the human completion plan, Commander Ikari and Deputy Commander Winter Moon, what are their intentions, what are SEELE going to do with EVA, I came to NERV to know these things." ”

"So, what exactly do you need me to do?" Ian asked.

"It should be a very simple thing for you, use your special ability to draw the map of NERV's underground power supply system with me, and the self-team will solve the rest."

"Besides, you've been a little too active lately, so I've agreed with Misato that you can come to me for a while."

After chatting with the blessings, Ian switched to the blessing Ryoji to work, and no longer went to the war room at the headquarters until the next time the apostle appeared.

He used the crystallization ability of the Warhammer Giants to help Bless open up some old facilities, and Bless used the power of his position to create many opportunities.

This process lasted for a while.

After the defeat of the Seventh Apostle, they ushered in a time of peace.

Ian learns about the identity of the blessed Ryoji, and due to the particularity of Ian's "outsider", the blessing Ryoji does not hide his own affairs.

"The Japanese government, SEELE and NERV are all involved and related to me, but I am not loyal to any of them, I just want to avoid a third shock and investigate the truth."

"Still. Although it is a great statement, I am actually afraid of death. Using his laptop and his own account, Ryoji Blesses checked the NERV database.

"What kind of plan is it when humanity finishes making up the plan?" Ian helps him connect the cables.

The two of them were in an aging old building, littered with rusty iron pipes.

Fifteen years have passed since the second impact, and although SEELE has spent a lot of money to build the EVA base, most of the surrounding areas still have the backward appearance of fifteen years ago, many empty old houses are uninhabited, and the government has no spare energy to repair and bulldoze these old buildings.

"I just know a rough idea." "According to my information, under the NERV headquarters, the first apostle, Adam, is sealed, and the reason why the rest of the apostles came to the third new Tokyo city is to return to Adam, and if they are allowed to come into contact with Adam, the third shock will break out." ”

"The reason for the second impact was a meteorite, but it was actually because of the apostles." Ian wasn't very clear about the cause of the second shock, he only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be caused by Adam, but he had no way of knowing how it was caused and what happened in between.

"The meteorite is just an excuse to fool people, SEELE's documents record what happened back then, and I also heard the truth from Misato."

Blessor Ryoji called up the surrounding circuit diagram on the computer screen, and his computer desktop was a photo of him and Misato, two people wearing bachelor's uniforms, standing in front of the teaching building and smiling at the camera.

"Fifteen years ago, mankind discovered the spears of the First Apostles Adam and Langnookis in the Dead Sea in Antarctica, and Misato Katsuragi's father, Dr. Katsuragi, once led a team there to investigate Adam."

"Dr. Katsuragi proposed the 'S2 theory,' which is similar to the double helix structure of genes that can provide infinite energy, and in order to study the S2 mechanism based on this theory, they conducted contact experiments on the super creature Adam in Antarctica, and the result was the awakening of Adam."

"Adam blew himself up for unknown reasons, which eventually led to the second shock, and that's the truth."

"And all of this is recorded in the Dead Sea documents found in the past, SEELE after seeing the second impact, believed the content of the Dead Sea documents, they transferred Adam's wreckage to the NERV headquarters under Hakone, Japan, used the spear of Langnurkis to seal Adam, create EVA and fight with the apostles, according to the records of the documents, all the remaining fifteen apostles were annihilated, and it seemed that they could complete the human completion plan, so that all human beings could return to the gospel, and the world would become extremely peaceful, There will be no more suffering and suffering for humanity. ”

"Still." Bless Ryoji plugged in a USB flash drive to the computer: "What exactly does the so-called 'return to the gospel' mean, I haven't found any information. ”

"What kind of plan is it after the human race has completed the plan, and whether it will trigger a third shock, this is something I am investigating."

Bless Ryoji's fingers crackled and tapped the keyboard.

"I can't be sure of many things, but there seem to be a lot of contradictions between Commander Ikari and the old people of SEELE, and SEELE asked me to monitor Commander Ikari and report to them regularly."

"RETURN TO THE GOSPEL" IAN HAS A SENTENCE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO SAY OR NOT, AND IN A SENSE, SEELE IS REALLY RIGHT ABOUT WHAT HE REVEALED TO BLESS GOOD GOVERNANCE.

After all, orange juice will not start wars, and there will be no sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death.

"Anyway, we have to knock out all the apostles." Ian put away the crystals.

At this moment, Ymir appeared in front of him, and he suddenly frowned, and prepared a warning in advance.

Hurried footsteps were heard outside, and a group of well-armed black-clad soldiers burst in, about a dozen of them, armed with rifles.

Ian looked at Bless Ryoji, who had reacted quickly and raised his hands in surrender, not knowing where the group was coming from.

"Are you here for me?" Ian sighed.

The muzzles of these people's guns were clearly aimed at him, and there were crystals on both sides of his cheeks that had not fallen off, and at a glance he knew that he was different from ordinary people.

In fact, as he guessed, these people were sent by SEELE.

SEELE, the Seat of Souls, is an organization that has been hidden under the history of mankind since the dawn of humanity.

There are only a few members of SEELE, but they are arrogant enough to decide the fate of the entire human community with the will of a few people.

"Unplanned heresy must be ruled out!" Speaker Keel, along with the other members of SEELE, came to this conclusion.

The global energy fluctuations that had occurred about a month and a half earlier had been unplanned and were not recorded in the Dead Sea Papers.

SEELE has used almost all the resources it can to investigate the causes and consequences of this incident.

In the end, they found clues in Germany, the first source of energy.

The instructions given by the self-team to Bless Ryoji were just induced by SEELE, and the purpose was to investigate the strange man who suddenly appeared.

In order to complete the human completion plan, SEELE will not allow accidents to happen.

They prepared several sets of plans for this, the mass-produced EVA, the artificial Seventeenth Apostle, and the control of the Japanese self-war forces.

No matter what happens, they will be able to change their route, complete Lilith's contract, and reach the post-completion world.

While Ryoji and Ian are investigating the circuit diagram, SEELE is also investigating them.

The results of the investigation have now come out, and SEELE's decision is to annihilate the two together with the blessing of Ryoji.

The unit silently pulled the trigger, and bullets burst from the muzzle of the gun with a thump!

Blessed Ryoji instinctively closed his eyes, but he didn't feel the pain he expected.

The warhead landed on the ground with a crisp crashing sound.

Bless Ryoji touched his body, unharmed.

He looked back at the boy behind him, his pupils contracted, and on the boy's shoulder, a miniature version of the fish angel crystal appeared, and the fish angel squirmed as if it was alive, releasing a powerful AT force field, surrounding blessings and Ian.

This is a real apostle-level AT force field, which is the realm of absolute defense, and human bullets can't break through the barrier at all, and the bullet hits the polygonal barrier, loses power, and falls to the ground with a click.

In addition to this, a dwarf humanoid crystallization spawns at Ian's feet, and Ian hands over two pistols and prepares two crystallized twin knives for Levi's waist.

"Please, Captain Levi, don't make too much noise." Ian vs. Levi.

"Sixteen people" Levi adapted to the activity performance of the crystalline golem: "Don't worry, you can do it without a gun, it can be solved in a minute." ”

Levi broke through the barrier of the AT force field and jumped nimbly on the abandoned steel railing.

Even without a three-dimensional maneuver, he was nimble as an invisible gust of wind, and he walked on the wall like a sharp knife, piercing the throat of his enemy.

The body of the crystallized puppet made him not need to care about his damage, the knife flashed, and the blade cut his throat!

Since the other party has made a dead hand, Levi will naturally not show mercy!

Blood splattered, and Bless Ryoji watched in a daze as the guys fell one by one.

Before he could react, the dwarf came with a blood-stained blade.

"AT Force Field" blessed Ryoji looked at the fish angel on Ian's shoulder with complicated eyes: "Have you restored the apostle?" ”

"It's not restoration." Ian stretched out his hand: "This is the body, I have subdued the soul of the apostle." ”

"Let's go, Mr. Blessing, the two of us can't stay in NERV anymore."

"It's a pity for my watermelon" Bless Ryoji sighed: "But. Now that it's all like this, I can only leave."

He has never forgotten his identity as a three-sided agent, and he is ready to face death.

But since he is still alive, he will not give up on finding the truth.

"Anyway, thank you for saving my life."

I took some medicine, I feel a little better, get some sleep first, and then change it tomorrow
