Ikari Shinji smiled as he prepared lunch for today's school. At the same time, he packed Asuka's lunch and the lunch he was going to give to Ling Boli. Then, he prepared to go to school.
At this time, Misato, who had also woken up, suddenly said, "You seem to be very happy recently. Did something good happen? "
Only then did Ikari Shinji notice that Misato had woken up. He quickly said, "Miss Misato, you're up so early? It's nothing good, I just woke up this morning and made breakfast. "
Misato did not say anything, but her expression showed that she did not believe him. Of course, she did not press him. Instead, she carefully thought about a recent report that she had read. It was a list of a group of people that Ikari Shinji had been in contact with recently, from their names to their photos. However, that was it. There was no record of their past, whether it was their nationality, identity, or anything else.
This was simply impossible. As the most important strategic core of Nerv, the EVAs and their pilots were the most important things in Nerv. Every pilot had at least ten people secretly watching over them twenty-four hours a day. Who they contacted, what they said, and what they did were all monitored. Of course, the pilots themselves did not know these things. Only the higher-ups of Nerv, like Misato, would know.
A few days ago, Ikari came into contact with a group of people who suddenly appeared in New Tokyo. There were a total of eight people, six men and two women. As soon as they appeared, they came into contact with Ikari. After that, they rented a floor and four rooms somewhere in New Tokyo and temporarily settled down there.
This was no small matter. Every EVA had its own pilot, and to some extent, the pilot was almost as precious as the EVA. Not just anyone could pilot an EVA. Under the threat of the Apostle of Armageddon, anything that involved the EVA pilot or the EVA itself was a big deal. Therefore, as soon as this group of people appeared, they immediately entered Nerv's surveillance. At the same time, Nerv was a global organization. Whether it was the headquarters in Japan or the branches in other countries, they were all connected to each other. Logically speaking, as long as anyone was recorded, Nerv should be able to identify them in a short period of time …
"In other words, this group of people isn't recorded by any country … Is it because the countries aren't willing to accept the distribution of the EVA, or does SEELE have other plans …" Misato muttered to herself as she looked out the window at Ikari who had already left.
Ikari Shenzi didn't know about this. Perhaps someone as smart as Asuka could more or less guess something. In fact, Ikari Shenzi had never taken Nerv seriously. He only regarded Nerv as a unit to use EVA. But he didn't think about it. Nerv was the last line of defense for the world, which gathered the wealth of most countries in the world, the highest military units, and the highest scientific research institutions in the world … How could Nerv be simple?
On the other hand, Roger was strolling around New Tokyo every day. From time to time, he would go to Ikari Shinji's school and drink with the teenager. He looked like a retired uncle who had nothing to do. Ah Xing, who was in the same team, had started to take action these few days. He cooperated with several senior team members and led two newcomers who had just entered the World of Samsara. He demonstrated and explained things about the World of Samsara to them, and also led them to familiarize themselves with team combat.
"… The defense is still too tight."
Ten kilometers away from Nerv's headquarters, there was a small forest. There were some crops not far from the forest, and it looked peaceful. In the small forest, there were seven people lurking in it.
"From here, it looks like a smooth road ahead, but almost every inch of land is under surveillance, and there are hidden automatic weapons everywhere. In addition, the technology of this world is more advanced than that of the real Earth. If it were the army of the real world, unless they use weapons of mass destruction, it would be impossible for an army or even a group army to break in. This is not even mentioning the combat power of the EVA. This base … is built to fight against apostles …"
Ah Xing came to this conclusion after scanning with his spiritual power and comparing with his naked eyes. In a sense, unless Roger was directly involved in the battle, it was almost impossible for them to break into the Final Dogma directly.
However, to let Roger join the battle …
Ah Xing shook his head. Firstly, Roger would not agree to it. Secondly, there was another hidden danger … and that was the problem of the Eva prototype. As long as the prototype was still in the base, it would be an absolute threat. Especially since Ah Xing had already seen the sea. The sea in this world was blood red, which was the symbol of the new movie version. This was because the sea in the old version was blue, and there were even living creatures in it. If it was the new movie version, then the strength of the Eva prototype in this world, if it was awakened, would be very close to or even reach the level of Gando from the Devil Team …
That was the first time Roger was defeated. Although Roger had not learned the Mountain Suppressing Sword at that time, his strength was already in the middle of Stage 4. That … was almost unstoppable. That was the power of the devil …
Therefore, unless it was a last resort, Ah Xing's plan would never be to attack Nerv's base. Moreover … Currently, Ikari and Roger were getting along very well. This was definitely a good opportunity … Ah Xing only hoped that Roger would not play the role of Kaoru in the original movie …
However, Ah Xing admired Roger. It was not because of anything else, but because of his instinct to grasp the essence of a problem. Many times, Roger's seemingly foolish decisions could often have a subversive effect. For example, this time, Ah Xing did not agree to come into contact with any storyline characters. As he said, on the second day after coming into contact with Ikari, they were already surrounded by people watching them. However, on the other hand, Ah Xing could not dissuade Roger. Secondly, he wanted to continue to see … what Roger's plan was …
On the other hand, Roger was wandering around New Tokyo. He did not seem to care about anything. Although he did not directly fly into the sky, burrow into the ground, or move mountains and fill the sea, he did use a lot of things like flashing hundreds of meters, jumping tens of meters high, or crossing rivers by stepping on water. These personal powers that were completely beyond the imagination of mortals were directly transmitted to Nerv's headquarters by the monitors …
Roger strolled and looked at the people in the city, the land and the sky, and then he saw the sea …
It was a blood-red sea with a fishy smell. There were no longer any fish in the sea. It was … a dead sea …
Roger fiddled with the seawater with his hand. His face was as calm as ever. He was neither moved nor compassionate. Then, he jumped into the sea, causing Nerv to lose track of him. He dove into the depths of the sea. Nerv scanned and monitored him directly through satellites. It was not until more than three hours later that they discovered his figure in a certain part of the Pacific Ocean, about thousands of kilometers away from Japan. Even there, the seawater was still blood-red …
Roger was silent. He looked up at the sky, and the internal staff of Nerv, including Misato, felt as if Roger was looking directly at them. Everyone's heart trembled, but they also saw Roger's expression. It was an indescribable silence …
What happened next almost made the entire internal staff of Nerv go into EVA mode because there was a distortion around Roger's body. It was similar to the AT force field, but it did not have the distortion of a diamond-shaped square. In this distortion, Roger's figure disappeared from the center of the Pacific Ocean. The internal staff of New Tokyo quickly reported that they had found Roger's whereabouts …
"The Dai Yagi index has been measured. There is a spatial fault, and the fault is healing …"
"The AT force field scan will follow up. The nearby US Second Pacific Fleet will quickly rush over …"
"The high-altitude energy monitoring shows that there is a large energy ripple spreading in the center of the Pacific Ocean. The energy index is 5,471, close to the explosion of a tactical nuclear bomb …"
Misato was also silent. She directly said, "The target's monitoring alert level has been raised by three levels. For the time being, the target is … the Eighth Apostle …"
After that, she turned to the staff next to her and said, "Can you contact the commander?"
The staff next to her shook his head and said, "The commander has already reached the dark side of the moon. We can't contact him at the moment. The estimated time to contact him is … eleven hours later …"
A woman in a white uniform next to him asked, "What are you going to do? Do you want to send in an EVA? "
Misato looked at the screen. Roger had already returned to the downtown area of New Tokyo. He found a ramen restaurant and ordered three bowls of ramen. He was a bearded man wearing a pair of slippers. The only eye-catching thing about him was the Western rapier hanging on his waist.
"… Don't alert the target for now. Wait for the AT force field scan to finish. Before that, the base will maintain the highest level of alert. At the same time … at least two pilots must be on standby at all times," Misato thought and said.
The woman in the white uniform asked curiously, "Two … doesn't that include Zinsi-kun?"
Misato shook her head and then nodded. "Zinsi-kun is an exception for now … There is no need to tell him the details. No, don't tell him anything. If this person is really an apostle, then …"
"I want to ask him something …" Misato's eyes were sharp as she said.
The woman in the white uniform didn't say anything. She only whispered in a small voice, "Do you want to ask about … the second collision at the South Pole?"
Unexpectedly, Misato looked directly at her and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Yes …"
"I want to ask personally … to the apostles, to the angels, us humans …"
"What is it …"
