"[NERV's humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic in the world in the past two days,]"
"[Now let us take a look at the comments of Kaos Cloud, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army of Earth,]"
"[General Claude, who has always been straightforward, said bluntly: 'NERV will lose face if it loses to the apostles like this'."
"[Oh, NERV increases its arms budget every year and says it will fight the apostles. How much money does it cost every year? Have they achieved any results? They——]"
Wow, Ikari Yuantang turned off the broadcast of the Dilian news and looked down at the command department below, his glasses shining brightly: "The N2 bombs of the Dilian destroyed 22% of the apostles' structures. They are expected to wake up in five days.
I don’t want to see a second failure.”
"Yes, we have already made a plan for the second battle." Katsuragi Misato replied.
"Include the plan to fail again and have to defend the Third New Tokyo City," Ikari Gendo said, then turned and left: "I will deal with those complaints and bills."
The entire headquarters was silent. It was nearly ten minutes after Ikari Yuantang left before whispers started to sound.
"It's all! It's all you! You made me look embarrassed!" Asuka turned to Shinji Ikari, who was sitting next to her, with a cold expression on her face.
"Uh..." Shinji Ikari opened his mouth, wanting to retort that you were killed alone in two-on-one. It has nothing to do with me as a fire cover, and it was clearly me who saved you in the illusion, but if you think about it carefully, if
Without "Explosive Heat Return", Unit 2, whose attack had been reduced to 0, would probably be destroyed, and now she could only lie in the hospital covered in scars and look at the ceiling - this was a possibility that she could only think of for the best.
.
So it was indeed him who made her look embarrassed, and there was nothing wrong with her. Shinji Ikari scratched the back of his head and did not respond.
If I had to explain this sentence from a realistic perspective, I can only say - "It's all because you were too weak and failed to defeat the apostle who came to find you and then came back to save me, causing me to make a fool of myself."
It's too much to be unreasonable...
"What kind of posture is that? Like a carrot stuck upside down in the sea!"
"Shame on you! Get out of the battlefield immediately!"
"If I were fighting alone, I would never be in such a mess!"
"This is my first appearance in Japan——"
Hmm, huh? I see... Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows slightly.
This time's words cannot be listened to alone and analyzed sentence by sentence. They are not accusing him or Unit 1 of his mistakes at all. The translation of her entire sentence should be:
——I failed in my first battle. Not only did I make a huge fool of myself, but my defeated posture was so embarrassing. I just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in so as not to be seen by others...
So if you knew what she did all the time, you would be the target of attack, right? This behavior of standing up all over your body when frightened...
"Hedgehog." Ayanami Rei whispered from the side.
"..." Shinji Ikari turned to look at her in shock.
"I can't read minds," she added.
Look, what is the gap? This is the gap.
"Okay!" Misato Katsuragi stopped Asuka from stabbing people everywhere: "We will immediately study ways to deal with this 'Twin Apostles' who have never appeared before, and conduct targeted training for you. Before that..."
She reopened the program and started looping it, then turned around and left:
"Let me take a good look at it here for three hours."
What kind of unit of time is that?
"[NERV said they are already preparing for the second battle——]"
"[Oh, thank God. There is no solid foundation for a battle like this. Even if you can win this time, can you guarantee that next time, a more powerful apostle can win next time? I advise them to put the concept of apostle first
Understand.】”
…Where did you find this General Broken Mouth?
——2015.8.10——
Gathering Garden, Literary Society.
"Uh, you're saying that NERV's plan to urgently improve the synchronization rate is to... stay together inseparable for a week?" Kirishima's real name covered his mouth with a tray: "The straight-line distance cannot exceed half a meter. After completing the training, you must also
Going in and out together, eating and sleeping together, even going to the toilet and bathing together?”
"Yes," Shinji Ikari shrugged, "That's why I was kicked out."
"I think if it's Ayanami-san, she shouldn't care about this kind of thing," Kirishima's real name said, "Ah, I'm not saying she's very casual."
"I know what you mean, and she didn't object to it in the first place, but Asuka firmly disagreed, shouting something about 'indecent' and 'violating the moral code'. I said, 'Why do I want to go with you?', and ended up being chased
Called 'idiot', 'pervert' and 'go to hell'," Shinji Ikari pouted: "In the end, we can only let her and Ayanami go to training."
"It's... difficult for the two of them to synchronize, isn't it?" Kirishima Mana looked towards the roof.
"It's very difficult," Shinji Ikari picked up the tea cup and drank water: "There is only a 50% chance of synchronization at most."
"Well..." Kirishima Mana looked at his water glass and stood up: "I'll make another pot of tea."
"No, no," Shinji Ikari waved his hand: "I just came here to hide from those overly curious guys who insist on asking me about the details of the battle, but it's very strange that you are here. If Ayanami is not here, you have no reason.
Come here, and you’re still wearing a maid outfit?”
"No," Kirishima's real name paused for a moment, but did not stop. He still walked to the cubicle to boil some water, then walked back and sat down: "I just... have nowhere to go."
"Why, are the Earth Alliance military so harsh on their subordinates? They don't even give them a break?" Shinji Ikari joked, then waved his hand and added: "Well, I'm not trying to trick you, I'm not interested in the military's intelligence."
"Then what if I want to say it?" Kirishima's real name looked at him with water-blue eyes.
"Uh...then I'll listen?" Shinji Ikari blinked.
Weird thing, why didn't you find yourself so attractive before? Of course, I must be just being sentimental.
"My father was a hydraulic scientist in old Tokyo, and my mother was a magazine editor," Kirishima said by his real name. "I'm not a military spy."
"Well..." Shinji Ikari looked at her thoughtfully.
"I know you don't believe it. After all, Ayanami-san——"
"No, I believe it," Shinji Ikari waved his hand: "I believe you are not a military spy, at least not the 'current you'."
"...!" Kirishima's real name turned pale and held his cuffs tightly with both hands.
"I didn't ask Ayanami, but it's almost unimaginable to train an ignorant child to be a spy and to ensure her loyalty. If you ask me to guess, what's 'Kisara' or 'Blue Eyes White Dragon'?
You've never heard of it, right?" Shinji Ikari asked.
"Yes...two months ago, I was just an ordinary middle school student..." Kirishima said his real name.
"But, something unexpected happened at that time, which made you determined to become a spy for the military." Shinji Ikari continued.
"..." Kirishima bit his lip and said nothing.
"Kirishima-san, could you please tell me what your superpower is as a 'qualified person'?" Shinji Ikari continued.
"..." Kirishima Mana lowered his head.
"'Assembly Garden' is a school funded by NERV and only accepts qualified students. There are no 'ordinary middle school students' in it," Shinji Ikari shook his head: "Except for those who are 'already demonstrated and can be used directly'."
Apart from those, there are only qualified candidates who have "yet to show their potential, but have great potential." However, if they know that your superpower is related to [time], you will not be able to work as a maid so leisurely.
"
"Then, can you guess what happened to me?" By this time, Kirishima's real name had calmed down and turned back into the tea-serving maid.
"Have you met your 'self'?" Shinji Ikari spread his hands: "You have become a spy for the military in the 'future', but you are unable to penetrate NERV's spy defense network, so you want to develop your 'past self' into
'Offline', to infiltrate NERV, which was still relatively crude at this time. Ayanami didn't originally plan to find you, but after you came into contact with your future self, the logic closed loop was completed, and you were 'a spy from the beginning', so he decided to take you
We've been arrested, and the titles like 'Kisara' and 'Blue Eyes White Dragon' are actually the code names of 'future you'."
"To be honest, I think these code names are not nice to hear, and I will definitely find a way to change them in the future." Kirishima's real name blinked.
"The 'future you' thought so in the 'past' as well." Shinji Ikari replied.
"..."
Woo--the kettle next door rang.
"Please wait a moment." Kirishima stood up.
Hmm... Shinji Ikari looked at her back in maid uniform and began to think.
Obviously, the "Information Integrated Thought Body" guy does not have the ability to travel through time. The information it obtains comes from what the "Future Kirishima True Name" said to the "Present Kirishima True Name", which cannot be proven or falsified.
, and it is impossible to determine when the "future Kirishima's true name" will appear again, so he can only encourage Ayanami Rei to catch her and control her, but obviously Ayanami's "capture" and "control" are completely different from its understanding.
The current situation is that Kirishima's real name, no matter in the future or now, does not know the existence of the "Information Integration Thought Body", otherwise he would not be so careless and directly talk about information, and think that NERV's intelligence network is powerful, and "Information Integration Thought Body"
"The body" also doesn't know how much information "Future Kirishima's real name" has mastered about Eve, and he is ready to continue to observe, so he is afraid of both sides.
Can I, as a middleman, make a profit on the price difference?
"Shinji-san," Kirishima Mana poured two more cups of tea, then sat down opposite Shinji Ikari: "Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."
"I am the pilot of EVA Unit 1, I will not be afraid." Shinji Ikari picked up the tea cup and touched the temperature.
"The third impact [has] happened," Kirishima's real name looked at him seriously and said word by word: "My future self said that in her world, [May 1, 2015],
Not long after the third apostle appeared, the third impact happened. She wanted to prevent this from happening, but when she came back, she found that she did nothing and the third impact did not happen."
"..." Shinji Ikari raised his eyes and looked at the calendar.
This tea is so hot.
——2015.8.11——
Suruga Estuary.
"[Zero! Asuka! Execute the plan according to the contents of your training!]" Misato Katsuragi said loudly in the command channel: "[According to analysis, the Seventh Apostle will split or merge after the core encounters a fatal attack to avoid being destroyed.
, the reaction interval of this behavior is less than 0.03 seconds, and it is almost impossible to catch the gap, but this behavior will have a 62-second cooling time, and you must destroy them simultaneously again during this time, do you understand?]"
"【clear.】"
"[Leave it to this talented pilot! I will definitely kill those bastards this time!]"
No, this is completely out of sync, right? What on earth have you been training for? Shinji Ikari sat in the insertion plug of Unit-0 and complained silently.
[Kuri Kuri~] Li Ziqiu agreed very much.
"[Shinji-kun, you are responsible for the support. I will not give you specific orders, just adapt to circumstances.]"
"OK."
Then let's play cards.
The information about NERV is roughly the same as what I know. The opponent seems to be a bald guy with only two cards in the card library: [Fusion] and [Fusion Release]. Whenever any of the Lei Feng Shui demons is about to be defeated, they will use [Fusion].
When the guardian of the door is created, and the guardian of the door is about to be defeated, they will use [Fusion Release] to create three demon gods. The interval between uses is exactly the same as their own card drawing time.
The Gate Guardian has high attack and defense, while the Demon God has the disgusting ability to reduce the attacker's attack power to 0. You must defeat them within 60 seconds with only two opportunities to draw cards...
[Bottle of Desire: Draw a card after activating the cover]
Hmm... It's a little troublesome. The Vial of Desire is a trap card, and since I'm not participating in the battle, I can't activate it when the opponent attacks. I can only wait 60 seconds to activate it the next time I draw a card.
In other words... a hand full of low-attack monsters can destroy the opponent with just two cards?
Shinji Ikari put his hand on the card pile and looked up at the battlefield.
Although the image of the apostle was replaced by that "devil god", the general battlefield situation can still be seen.
The orange Unit Zero and the red Unit Two are like two figure skaters performing an ice ballet. They are shuttling back and forth among the attacks of the devil with exquisite coordination, dodging attacks again and again.
Finally, they took aim at the Wind Demon God, who was obviously the weakest, and the two EVAs spun and kicked towards it.
The Wind Demon God flashed and enveloped Unit Zero with a hazy green light. Unit Zero seemed to have noticed it and immediately gave up the attack and turned around, allowing Unit 2 to hit the unaffected Unit 2 with a kick.
Bang!
The Wind Demon God turned into a golden light spot.
Almost at the same time, a "fusion" stood in front of the bald phantom, and the three demon gods simultaneously turned into golden light and merged into one.
Here comes the big guy with 3750 attacks, let’s see what I can draw this time.
Draw a card and activate the Vial of Desire!
【Fusion】
[Beloved Hero: Only 'Heroes' can equip it. The attack power increases by the value of the defense power. When launching an attack, a field magic card is activated from the deck. 】
Well...the order of playing cards is simple and easy to understand.
"[Three cores appeared on the apostle! Shinji-kun!]"
"clear!"
Boom, boom, boom!
As Unit 1 ran wildly, the environment around it suddenly changed, from the mouth of a river at noon to a majestic city at midnight, and on top of the tallest spire building in the city, stood a full-body
A tall man in green, with white wings stretched out on his left arm, and a red dragon head connected to his right arm.
The hero glanced at the "Guardian of the Gate" that was wreaking havoc in the city, spread his wings without hesitation, and glided down. The flames ejected from the dragon's head and the No. 1 Unit hit the monster at the same time.
[Flame Wing Man, attack power: 4300]
[When destroying an enemy monster, inflict damage equal to the monster's attack power to the enemy.]
"[Ouch, ouch, ouch—!]"
The two bald heads, the guardian of the gate, and the seventh apostle who finally revealed his true face exploded into a cross pillar of light that reached the sky.
