"We are heading to the temporary hangar, and the restraint system inspection has been completed."
"connecting."
"Main power switching completed."
"The internal voltage passes the specified value."
"The insertion pin is inserted into the fixed position correctly."
Misato Katsuragi faced various reports in the headquarters. After confirming that everything was normal, she ordered: "Start the countdown again!"
"The countdown has begun, please evacuate all personnel on the ground."
...騱
On the elevator leading to Unit 3, Asuka and Lanno sat opposite each other, waiting for the final preparations to be completed.
"Uncle, it's your first time driving an EVA. Aren't you a little nervous?"
"Actually, there's nothing to be nervous about. When I faced Remiel, I was flying a fighter jet modified with an insertion bolt, and I helped the No. 1 aircraft adjust the AT force field. Strictly speaking, it wasn't actually my first time.
Let's drive." Lan Nuo looked at the machine that was getting closer and closer, already anticipating what might happen next. There was a faint suppressed spiritual light on that machine, which was undoubtedly hiding his own.
apostle.
"But Shinji said that he had a bad premonition, maybe there was something wrong with Unit 3." Asuka seemed to have some premonition as well.
"Huh? Even if there is a problem with Unit 3, will you give up this opportunity to pilot it?"
Asuka shook her head after hearing this: "Absolutely not. If uncle were not here, I would definitely choose to drive."
"That's alright. Since you will definitely be able to drive, then I will definitely follow you. I promised Shinji Ikari before that I would cover everything he did. In this case, protecting your safety is also part of the agreement!"
騱
Just as Asuka was a little moved, she heard Lan Nuo continue: "After all, if you protect that guy's candidate wife, you can be considered accommodating."
"Who is his wife?" Asuka was furious. If the elevator door had not been locked, she would have kicked Lan Nuo out by now.
In such a serious but not too serious atmosphere, the two of them boarded the insertion bolt, and as the valve on the insertion bolt rotated, they entered the body of Unit 3.
The process of inserting the plug was normal, and it seemed that nothing unexpected happened. Asuka was still happy because she could continue to drive EVA, and looked forward to the future life with her friends. Just when everything around her showed a holographic projection of the outside world,
The front of the field of vision suddenly became pitch black, with a circle of blood red on the periphery of the pitch black. Then this circle of blood red light began to spread rapidly, covering the surrounding holographic projection.
"Eh? What happened?" Asuka felt as if there was some thrust pushing her behind her, as if it had turned into a pair of wings behind her, and bursts of laughter rang in her ears.
Although it was laughter, it sounded particularly haunting, like the voice of a ghost doll.
At the same time, the alarm sounded again: "The insertion depth exceeds 100, entering a deep mental pollution zone!"
"How could this happen?"
"The driver exceeded the safe depth!"
"Stop quickly, the driver will lose consciousness."
"Disconnect the connection and stop the experiment!" Misato Katsuragi gave the order without hesitation.
The power supply was cut off directly, however, the activities of Unit 3 did not stop.
"High-energy reactions detected inside the body."
Immediately afterwards, you can directly see from the video that the restraint armor on the outside of Unit 3 suddenly opened, revealing the blue glowing flesh and blood inside, which is definitely not the color of the normal flesh and blood inside the machine.
"Could it be...the apostle!"
As Unit 3 let out a loud roar, a burst of blue light burst out from his body, as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated. The shock wave destroyed everything around him, leaving only a deep big hole in place.
pit.
The entire Third New Tokyo was once again in a state of emergency. The two children who were cooking at home and waiting for the return of Asuka and Lanno were quickly recalled to the headquarters, preparing to drive EVA to attack the apostles.
"Damn it, why does it have to be this time?" Shinji Ikari didn't know why, but there was always a feeling of anxiety in his heart: "I didn't come early, I didn't come late, but I came at this time, and the party that I finally prepared was all ruined.
, let me know which apostle it is, and see if I don’t beat the crap out of him.”
As Shinji Ikari entered his body and followed the instructions given in the system, he quickly headed to the location of the incident, which was a mountainous area near the military base.
After seeing the increasingly familiar terrain here, Shinji Ikari gradually began to have a bad premonition.
As Shinji Ikari walked into the mountainous area, he saw from the opposite side of the mountain, a machine similar to the Unit-1 he was driving, slowly walking over from the opposite side, and there was an explosion on the other side.
Huge amounts of smoke and dust rose into the sky.
"No, it can't be..."
At the same time, in his ears, Commander Ikari's voice sounded: "From now on, the Evangelion Unit 3 will be abandoned and identified as the Ninth Apostle."
"The interception force prepares to attack."
Military troops have been deployed in the mountainous area, and a large number of firepower points are pouring their firepower crazily in the direction of the No. 3 machine.
"That's the apostle?"
"Yes, that's the target." Commander Ikari's voice contained no emotion at all.
When Shinji Ikari heard the news, he was struck by lightning: "Asuka is still up there, and uncle is still up there, how can you attack?"
Although the military's attack had no effect as always, hitting the No. 3 machine could only explode clouds of smoke and dust, and even the armor could not be damaged, Shinji Ikari still fell into a great panic.
The maturity and calmness that he had always had seemed to have disappeared from his body. He used to be able to face everything calmly, largely because his uncle was by his side and could help him with everything.
But now Lan Nuo has had an accident, and he is sitting in Unit 3 infected by the apostles, and they are facing a violent storm of human attacks. No one can help him with the situation anymore, and all his most important people are also here.
Inside the body of the apostle.
At this moment, Shinji Ikari felt as if fate had grabbed his throat, unable to accept the reality, which made him feel almost like vomiting.
"The target is approaching, you have to defeat him." Commander Ikari still gave the order coldly.
Shinji Ikari looked at Unit 3 getting closer and closer, and for a moment he forgot to attack. He saw that the popping plug was stuck to the body of Unit 3 with a layer of sticky flesh-like substance.
It's Asuka and Lanno.
However, Unit 3, which had been transformed into an apostle, did not care what Shinji Ikari thought, and decisively launched an attack after approaching Unit 1.
He jumped up, directly penetrated the passive AT force field defense of Unit 1, and grabbed the neck of Unit 1 with both hands.
At the same time, Shinji Ikari also grabbed the hands of Unit 3 and exploded his AT force field with all his strength. The intensity of his spiritual light was still very strong. With brute force, he forcefully broke open the hands that were holding his neck.
However, the figure was obviously different from the normal body. It exploded the armor on the shoulders completely unreasonably, and then another pair of arms popped out from the shoulders. This pair of arms violently pinched Shinji Ikari's throat.
And this time, not only did he grab his throat, there was something blue and pollution-like spreading around the neck of Unit-1.
"He is an apostle of the erosion type, controlling the synchronization rate of Unit 1 below 28%."
"No." However, before anyone could take action, Commander Ikari rejected the order.
"The driver will die if this continues."
Commander Ikari ignored the reminders from the people around him and asked directly in the communication: "Why don't you attack?"
"Uncle and Asuka are still up there!" Shinji Ikari answered hard even though he was being strangled.
"It doesn't matter, that guy is an apostle and our enemy."
"No! I won't hurt them!"
"Then it's you who will die!" Commander Ikari seemed to be waiting for this moment.
"Even if I die, I will not let my attack hurt them!" Shinji Ikari suddenly burst out an AT force field that was ten times more powerful than before. He was ready to start fighting, and the depth unlocked by his genes was
Run up the third level.
Even if it is unable to attack, as long as the apostle is suppressed by force, it is still possible to successfully remove the insertion bolt.
However, at this moment, my father's voice came to my ears: "Cut off the synchronization link between Unit 1 and the pilot, and activate the puppet system!"
At the same time, the cockpit became pitch black, and everything outside was invisible, leaving only the most basic life support system.
Unit-00 was taken over by the puppet system and started its own actions. Shinji Ikari, who was about to fight for his life, suddenly felt that he had lost contact with the light of the soul outside, and the connection with Unit-1 was also cut off.
He suddenly fell into great panic.
"Wait! I'm still fighting! I will defeat the apostle! I will take out the insertion bolt safely. What on earth are you doing!"
"Liberate the system and start attacking!" Shinji Ikari's roar did not receive a response. The puppet system of Unit 1 was activated, and at the same time it exploded with huge power. Unit 3, which had already been blasted away by Shinji Ikari's AT force field, just
Climbing up from the ground, he faced Unit 1, which had its back arched like a wild beast.
The No. 1 machine was hit hard by the high-speed speeding machine and flew out, slamming into the mountain nearby. Then the No. 1 machine burst out with extremely powerful force, opened its bloody mouth, and bit into it.
On one of the apostle's arms, he bit like a wild beast and tore off the arm forcefully.
Shinji Ikari desperately pulled his handle, but was completely unable to control the actions of Unit-1.
Although I can't see what the scene is like outside, I can clearly distinguish the battle through the sound. Unit No. 1 has begun to tear the flesh and blood of Unit No. 3. If this continues, the insertion plug will definitely be injured.
However, no matter how hard Shinji Ikari tried to control it at this moment, Unit-1 was completely uncontrollable and biting like a mad dog.
Although one arm of the apostle was bitten off, he still had three arms. The apostle itself was not covered. Although the No. 1 unit was controlled by the puppet system, its combat effectiveness was far worse than that of the rampage. It was grabbed by the extra arm of the apostle.
He grabbed his neck and threw it violently.
This time the apostle seemed to be stronger than before. Perhaps because there were two insertion bolts in the body, the puppet system's No. 1 unit actually fell into a hard battle.
The apostle picked up the arm that had just been bitten off, and inserted it back into the injured position. The flesh and blood squirmed quickly, and it grew back in an instant. With a roar, he rushed towards Unit 1 again.
However, Unit 1 is Unit 1 after all, and it is the strongest among all the units. Under the control of the system, it avoided the attacks of the two arms, and at the same time, regardless of the fact that its own neck was being strangled, it was strangled violently.
He grabbed the apostle's neck, and then twisted it hard, making a snapping sound, which seemed to have broken the cervical vertebrae.
It’s hard to imagine what the driver would feel like if he could still share his senses with the body.
Unit 1 relied on its incomparable brute force to crush Unit 3 on the ground. All the farmland and forests along the way were flattened, and finally it hit the mountain and was broken.
The high-voltage wires are emitting crackling sparks, and the plug-in bolts may have been damaged due to such crushing and friction.騱
Unit 1 just lay on top of the stunned Unit 3, and inserted his hands into Unit 3's chest like sharp claws.
Although Shinji Ikari cannot see everything happening outside, he can hear sounds. After unlocking the genetic lock, his powerful perception ability allows him to simulate every detail of what is happening outside just by listening to the sounds. He hates it now.
This ability of one's own.
He could clearly hear the sound of the outer armor being penetrated, the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart like cloth, the sound of ribs being broken, the sound of Unit 1 chewing flesh and blood, and the sound of internal organs being ripped out of the body.
Come out, the sound of intestines being torn apart.
Unit 1 is not fighting at all, but is raging like a wild beast. This is to tear Unit 3 and the apostles inside into pieces.
As a pilot, Shinji Ikari knows how clearly he shares his senses with the body. Everything that happens to his mecha will be faithfully fed back to the pilot.
And if the scene in front of him were fed back to the driver, even if the body would not be really injured, the pain would be enough to drive people crazy, or even make the brain think that they are dead and actually die.
"Uncle! What are you doing! If you are still conscious! Help me!" In despair, Shinji burst into tears and finally issued his last plea for help: "Help me!"
After he called out for help, he thought he would not get any response, but suddenly he saw a golden hexagonal light emerging around him, and then that familiar and reassuring voice sounded.
