"It's . The apostles who have been destroyed! ”

Asuka's eyes widened, and she didn't feel sleepy.

The Four Apostles launched a siege on the Night Angel, the Fish Angel and the Sky Angel tore apart the Night Angel's AT force field to neutralize, the Rain Angel used his leg as a spike and pierced into the orb, and the Music Angel split, pulling the Night Angel out of shape from both sides.

The Apostle collapsed and transformed, and even if it didn't attack its core, or even find it, it was powerless to resist under the siege of four creatures of its level.

The dark quagmire that imprisoned Machine Two crumbled along with the apostle's torn body.

Asuka looked around, countless fluorescent lights surrounded her, she couldn't see where the man was, but she knew that he must be among them.

"Yes, you. You're here to help me."

Asuka was happy, obviously happy, but shed tears.

More than ten hours of dead silence, when she was most desperate, when she was about to give up, she was lit up in the dark.

It turned out that so many people saw her.

At the same time, above the third Tokyo City, the night angel who had been stagnant for more than ten hours appeared an irregular surge on the surface of his body.

"Detecting that the energy response of the target AT force field is fluctuating violently!"

"The AT force field appears in the projection above!"

"How is that possible!" Ritsuko was surprised: "Obviously, the one below is the main body!" ”

According to her and MAGI's predictions, the object that can be observed by the naked eye in the sky is only a shadow shining from the imaginary space, and the viscous darkness below that swallows machine No. 2 into the imaginary space is the apostle's body.

But that doesn't seem to be the case

Neither she, nor MAGI, knew about the Twelfth Apostle.

At least the current summarized model is incorrect, otherwise the current reaction would not have occurred.

"The signal of the second machine has been detected, and the second machine and the second machine are back!"

"Really!" Misato stared at the screen.

Standby next to the thick darkness and the first and zero planes can also see everything that is happening on the scene.

The orb in the air, torn.

It was as if it had been torn apart in a crude and unreasonable way, it was like an orange that had been peeled and squeezed, and the illusory ball became a solid one, and thick blood poured down.

The blood of the apostles was poured on the ground, and the darkness vanished, and the twisted steel, concrete, and cars twisted in the darkness were spat out.

Blood stained everything there, a river of blood stretched, and Machine Two emerged from the orb and returned to the material world.

"The apostle's energetic reaction is gone! The Twelfth Apostle is annihilated! ”

"Can you even do this kind of thing?" Ritsuko Akagi gasped.

After communication was restored, Ian, in his capacity as commander, gave orders to the headquarters to stay put, and only need to monitor the Twelfth Apostle and report any accidents.

However, Ian did not return to NERV, ruling out the second plane's own reasons, so it could only be what happened in the Sea of Dirac.

"Asuka, Asuka! Can you hear me? Misato anxiously picked up the communication device and spoke to Asuka.

In the command room, everyone remained silent, and after a few seconds, a slightly hoarse voice was heard.

"Misato, you're too loud."

Asuka is still alive, and everyone in the public channel has heard her voice.

"Shinji, Zero, plug in the cable for Unit 2, the life support system is failing!" Ritsuko calmly commanded.

"Yes!"

The first and zero machines moved quickly, and quickly brought the cables to the blood pool to power the second machine.

The dark plug lit up, the heating and oxygen systems returned to their normal power, the cooled LCL became warmer, and it was no longer difficult to breathe.

The data of the second machine is transmitted to MAGI, and Asuka's life characteristics are very stable.

To be on the safe side, after the plug was inserted, Asuka was still sent to the ward and underwent a series of examinations.

In the ward, Asuka is playing nutrient solution.

She was trapped for 15 hours and 23 minutes, and she did not eat during this time, so the doctor directly injected her with a nutrient solution to supplement her body's nutrition, supplemented by some liquid food.

A phone call came.

"They are all people who can be saved because of you, so I went to them for help."

Ian speaks on the phone.

"Because you helped me and helped us, we can come to you today."

"Hmm." Asuka's voice was not as gentle as hers: "Thank you." ”

She had a feeling that if no one had come at that time, she would probably lose her human form and merge with EVA.

If it was her before, she would have thought that even that was fine, but now she doesn't think so.

Although there are many memories that cannot be looked back, her life is valuable.

She wanted to live as a human being, as a single individual.

"My mother, she's in machine two." Asuka whispered, "If it weren't for you, at that time, I probably would. I'll walk with my mother. ”

"So. Thank you"

"I'm not going to be confused anymore."

"Yes." Ian smiled, "Then rest well and meet tomorrow morning." ”

Ian hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

He rubbed his eyes and temples, how long Asuka had been trapped, he and his compatriots on Paradis Island had searched for as long as he and his compatriots on Paradis Island had been searching.

He also had no rest for more than ten hours, tired and hungry.

At this time, he was still at the base of his own team, and the stopped JA had not yet been dealt with, and as soon as he left the room, he saw huge robots standing on the ground in the night, they seemed to be solemn sculptures, waving their arms, and the weapons on their bodies were still aiming.

The internal nuclear reactor is still working, and unlike the EVA, the JA does not require cables and can be activated anytime, anywhere.

In the past ten hours, Ryoji Blesser and the RB self-war team have investigated the origin of JA.

Ian ate two compressed biscuits, drank a sip of water, and then went to the blessing to understand the situation.

"According to our investigation, most of these JA parts are shipped from Germany, and the relevant industry and transportation logistics leaders have all been supervised and controlled."

"However, there is still no way to find any useful information."

"Is there no way to conduct counter-reconnaissance through the control system of the JA?" Ian asked.

"Because JA's control system was in a forced crash, we couldn't do anything." Blessing turned: "Do you have a way to restore its control system, but not let it explode?" If you connect MAGI to that system, you might be able to get some useful information. ”

"I can try." Ian said.

Anyway, in any case, he can make JA die directly, with the "angel molecule" in his hand, it is equivalent to physically locking JA, and this lock cannot be cut off in the information world, if you want to break the control of the "angel molecule" on JA, there are only two ways, either let JA disappear from this world, or let the "angel molecule" disappear.

Ian gets in touch with Ritsuko Akagi through his own team.

"It's been a long time, and most of the clues should have been processed by SEELE." Ritsuko Akagi said, "I'm afraid we can get a limited amount of what we can get. ”

"Then without further ado, let's do it quickly." Ian said, "Miss Ritsuko, I don't know much about this, you say, I will cooperate with you." ”

"Okay." Ritsuko nodded.

Under Ritsuko's command, Ian moved JA and made the three fifty-meter-tall giant robots crouch.

The technical department of the self-team plugged a lot of cables into JA's control center, and then Ian asked them to turn on.

Ritsuko Akagi wrote the intrusion program in advance, and with the help of MAGI and the "angel molecules", she directly took control of JA.

LATER, SHE BEGAN TO REVERSE DETECT, LOOKING FOR SEELE'S FOOTPRINTS AMONG THE FEW TRACES SHE HAD, IN ORDER TO SPECULATE WHEN SEELE WOULD MAKE A MOVE ON RB AND IF SEELE HAD ANY OTHER HANDS OTHER THAN JA.

During this time, Ian yawned and shook his wit.

"It's very tiring to rescue the second plane, do you want to go and rest first?" Bless Ryoji said as he tapped on the keyboard, "You can't help with these things anyway. ”

"No need." Ian shook his head: "This level of staying up late has long been a common occurrence for me. ”

When he was in the nuclear industrial area of Paradis Island, he had long been used to staying up late.

"Bless, please go and manually turn off the anti-shielding device of No. 2 JA, I sent you the internal structure diagram."

"Okay." Nodding his head, he commanded the members of the self-team to enter the JA control room and disassemble the small part.

A twisted, spear-like device stuck in the deepest part of JA, connected to a number of wires.

After dismantling the device, MAGI quickly mastered the anti-detection channel.

A lot of data streams jumped on the big screen, and in the world of 0 and 1, Ritsuko keenly found that little clue.

She pulled up a surveillance video showing that it had been recorded three hours earlier.

It's the other side of the world, and it's still daytime.

"Is this EVA?" Ritsuko Akagi opened her mouth in surprise.

It wasn't from a fixed surveillance camera, but from the top down, you could hear the sound of the helicopter propellers cutting through the air.

In the video, there is a lot of dust.

Coordinates USA, the third branch of the NERV, responsible for the construction of the third machine.

NERV has two branches in the United States, one for the S2 and one for the EVA, and the third and fourth machines are manufactured in the third division in the United States.

Ritsuko knew that the third machine had been completed shortly after the second machine was transported to the RB, but it was not handed over to NERV because the fourth pilot had not yet been decided.

According to the original plan, it will soon be the scheduled time for the handover of the No. 3 machine.

However, due to changes in RB and NERV headquarters, this plan could not be realized.

But why, the third chance to fight with the American army?

What makes Ritsuko feel even more weird is the EVA suspended in the air.

It was an EVA body that Ritsuko Akagi had never heard of, and that EVA was beyond Ritsuko's cognition in terms of appearance and ability.

The pitch-black mech, with a white halo on its head, had no cables attached to it and no flying equipment, but it broke free from the shackles of gravity and was suspended in the air.

In the midst of the ruins, Unit Three roared as it looked up at the pitch-black body above its head.

The third branch was completely in ruins, and the third machine was buried with the lower half of its body buried by broken stone walls and steel bars, and it was very embarrassing.

The yellow sand swept in, surrounding the two EVAs, setting off a yellow tornado.

In the dust, the pitch-black EVA threw its spear downward.

The AT force field visible to the naked eye is in contact with the spear, it is not the force field of EVA, it is the apostle!

Ritsuko can tell from the small difference that the third machine has been eroded by the apostles!

Not the Eleventh Apostle, but the Thirteenth Apostle after the Night Angels!

The spear easily penetrated the AT force field of the Thirteenth Apostle, nailing it in place.

"Could it be that Lonnookis' spear?" Ritsuko swallowed a mouthful of saliva for the speculation in her heart.

The EVA floating in the air was clearly beyond the capabilities of a normal EVA.

Neither the first, the second, nor the zero could float in the air in defiance of gravity like that.

"That EVA has gone beyond the limits"

"Before the conditions were met, did the old people make such a thing?"

"Who the hell is the driver inside?"

Ritsuko was very uneasy, and after the spear of Langnookis penetrated the third machine, the EVA slowly fell, and the video ended there.

She tuned the surveillance video to the side of the self-fighting team, and both Ian and Blesser Ryoji saw it.

The Thirteenth Apostle was lodged in the third machine, just as he knew the information, but what was that pitch-black body with a halo on it?

"This" Ian was somewhat familiar with this scene.

He was somewhat impressed, but not much.

This was not within the scope of what Lu Mingfei had discussed with him.

The scene was familiar, and he struggled to recall it, finally remembering it when he saw the Ronnookis spear dropped.

That's Kaoru Nagisa's EVA, it's the EVA driven by the apostle!

It's not the old TV version, but the new theatrical version.

Imprisoning Adam's soul, the man-made seventeenth apostle, the angel of liberty Kaoru Nagisa, has SEELE already awakened him?

In the third new Tokyo city, Shinji Ikari leaves the scene where the Night Angel appears.

He and Rei Ayana, as EVA drivers, were on standby at the scene for a long time.

He didn't need to be involved in the finishing touches at the moment, he went to the toilet and waited for the other side to arrange to go back to rest.

The military vehicles pulled up barricades and defensive lines nearby, and Shinji Ikari stood at the edge of the big hole, looking down, and the blood of the night angels gathered in the sunken hole, and the moonlight was as bright as red wine.

From Shinji's back came the singing, a faint humming ballad.

"Who's singing?" Shinji looked back with doubts and saw a smiling teenager.

What the boy is wearing. That is, EVA's combat uniform?

"Music is such a good thing, music can nourish the soul."

The teenager's smile is very relatable.

"Music is the culmination of the culture that Lilin has created, don't you think? Shinji Ikari-kun? ”

"Who are you? Why do you know my name? Shinji Ikari asked.

"My name is Kaomi, Kaoru Nagisa, and like you, I'm the driver of EVA."

"You're that, Rei Ayana." Kaoru Nagisa looked at Rei Ayanami and the soldiers surrounding him, and didn't panic at all: "We will both evolve our bodies on this planet to the same shape as Lilin." ”

"Ikati-kun, come here, he's dangerous." Rei Ayanami said coldly.

"Human beings often feel heartache, and because of heartache, they feel that it is painful to live, and it is as delicate as glass."

"Are you the same?"

Kaoru Nagisa levitated in the air, and the pitch-black EVA, like him, stood under the moon and looked down at everyone.
