Ikari listened to the song and hummed softly. He was indeed in a good mood.
Recently, aside from the fact that his relationship with Asuka had improved, he also seemed to be able to talk to Ling Bo Li. This made him very happy. Not only that, there was also that Uncle Roger. Although he was afraid of dealing with him and was difficult to deal with, the situation was much better than he expected. He didn't know why, but when he was with Uncle Roger, he felt very comfortable. Many things that he couldn't say to Miss Miri or Asuka, he could say to Uncle Roger. It felt like … he was his best friend. Although … he often forced him to drink, which made Ikari very unhappy …
But …
Aichi Zhensi clenched his fists. He could feel that the wine was extraordinary. Not long after he drank it, he felt that he had changed a lot. First of all, he didn't sleep well for a long time. But ever since he drank the wine, he could sleep until dawn every day. Moreover, when he woke up, he was full of energy.
Then it was his body. He felt that he had begun to grow taller and was full of strength. This wasn't an exaggeration. He tried to lift some heavy objects before, but now he could lift them with ease. At the same time, he found that his recovery ability had become terrifying. For example, if he was cut by a knife, as long as it wasn't a big cut, then as long as he looked at it, the cut would disappear in a few seconds. If it wasn't for the blood, it would be as if he wasn't injured at all.
All of these made him realize that the wine was extraordinary. He just didn't like to communicate with the outside world, he just liked to close himself in his own world. Instead of being hurt by the outside world, he might as well reject the world before he was hurt. But this didn't mean that he was stupid. Even if he was just an ordinary person, he knew how precious the wine was. Then he thought about how Roger would force him to drink a big mouthful of wine every time he saw him. He knew that Roger had good intentions for him, which made him feel very touched.
Just as he was thinking about going to Roger's place tomorrow, which was Saturday, to listen to him tell some wonderful stories, and then introduce some of his friends to him, suddenly there was a knock on his door, and then Miri poked her head out.
"Ah, Miss Miri, dinner is ready, but you and Asuka haven't come back yet, so I'll eat first." Ikari Shenzi quickly stood up and said.
Misato smiled, turned her head slightly and said, "Asuka's EVA No.2 still needs to be further configured, so she will probably be sleeping in the base tonight. There's no need to wait for her."
Ikari Zhensi nodded and did not seem too concerned. Just as he thought the conversation was over, Misato suddenly said, "I heard … you recently made a new friend? What kind of friends are they? Can you tell me about it? "
Ikari Shenzi immediately revealed an astonished expression, and Misato also felt a little awkward. However, she was thick-skinned and said casually, "You're still underage after all, and your father allowed you to stay with me … So I think I have the right to know what kind of friends you've made, right?"
Ikari Shenzi nodded expressionlessly. However, he really did want to share this new friend with the people he was familiar with, so he immediately started talking about Roger. Of course, he was careful and did not directly talk about the origins of Roger and the others, nor did he talk about the wine. He only talked about how the two of them knew each other, and how he had helped Roger and the others, and how he had acted as their guide.
Misato listened carefully to Ikari Shenzi's words, and at the same time, the listening device on her transmitted these words to the base. There were at least ten people there analyzing Ikari Shenzi's words, and from time to time, they would tell Misato the results of their analysis. Misato had a small earpiece in her ear.
"So, in that case … they aren't Japanese?" Misato pretended to be curious and asked.
Ikari Shenzi nodded and said, "Yes, I heard from them that they came from a place called Atlantis, but I couldn't find it. Maybe it's an island in the Atlantic Ocean?"
"Atlantis?"
Misato mumbled. Very soon, she received an explanation, or rather, a legend, about Atlantis from the earpiece.
It was said that there used to be a continent in the Atlantic Ocean, and ancient humans lived on this continent. These humans created a splendid culture, and some of their technology even surpassed that of the modern era. However, with the arrival of an unknown flood, this continent sank into the Atlantic Ocean. This flood was believed to be the one in the Bible, where God destroyed the world and Noah built the ark. It could also be said that Atlantis was destroyed by God's will.
"God … Armageddon … Apostles … Angels …" Misato muttered in her heart. Her mood became heavier. Although she was already mentally prepared, after hearing this, the possibility of Roger being an apostle was even higher. Although she didn't know why there were eight of them, it was unlikely that all eight apostles would appear together. She thought that there must be some other hidden story.
However, now was not the time to delve into this. She asked Ikari Shenzi, "What's his character like? Uh, I'm asking, do you get along well with him? "
Ikari Shenzi gave it some thought and said, "Uncle Roger is a good person. He's always cheerful and likes to laugh. It's as if there's nothing that can trouble him. The two of us … actually don't get along well. Miss Misato knows that I'm not good at dealing with people like Uncle Roger. Moreover, he likes to force wine down my throat. Although I've already said several times that I'm still underage, but …"
"What? He forced wine down your throat?! "
Hearing this, Misato immediately cried out in an exaggerated manner. She then immediately said, "That won't do! Bring me to see him immediately. I want to question him on why he's doing this! "
Ikari Shenzi was stunned. He quickly said, "Actually, that wine isn't bad. Moreover, Uncle Roger only lets me take a small sip each time. It's nothing much …"
Before Ikari Shenzi could finish his words, Misato said aggressively, "I'm your guardian, and you're still underage. Therefore, I have enough authority to talk to him. Or … Does Shenzi -kun want to lose this friend that you've met with great difficulty? I won't be merciful. If I think that he's harmful to your growth, then I'll definitely make sure that you'll never see him again. "
Ikari Shenzi opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, he didn't dare to continue. He could only lower his head and accept his fate. He got into Misato's car and rushed to the city with her.
At the same time, on the other side, Roger was rubbing his nose as he watched the television and said, "I say, Ah Xing, is this really okay? Although I really want to use my ability without restraint to see the scene of this world that's about to be destroyed, isn't it too obvious? Those people who are monitoring me saw the entire process. Moreover, there are satellites in the sky. I directly returned to this New Tokyo from the center of the Pacific Ocean. Although I feel great, I still feel that this seems to have alerted the enemy. "
Ah Xing was at the table next to him, drawing on a map. After hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched. After a long time, he said unhappily, "Come on, you're still pretending to be innocent. Even if I don't let you use your extraordinary ability, I reckon that you won't be able to resist it, right? Don't make it sound like you've sacrificed something. This is just what you want, isn't it? "
Roger smiled and didn't say anything. Ah Xing stopped drawing and looked at the others who also didn't understand. He sighed and looked at the team's mental strength user, Angela. Jie. Herman nodded and said directly through the Soul Chain, "Actually, the reason why I lifted the ban on Roger's ability to use his extraordinary ability is just to set things up. From the information we've collected, it's the time when the Seventh Apostle has already attacked and the Eighth Apostle has yet to arrive. From the plot, this timing is just when Ikari Yuantang went to the moon. The person who can make the decisions in the Nerv headquarters is Misato Ikari. When Roger first met Ikari Shenzi and didn't start a massacre or immediately attack the Nerv headquarters, and displayed extraordinary abilities that are beyond what a human should possess. At the same time, under the premise that he used the Soul of Light, this situation could easily lead to a possible outcome …"
"What?"
The others asked in unison. Ah Xing didn't hesitate and replied, "It's very simple. Misato Ikari, who has never read the Dead Sea Scroll and has no contact with SEELE, doesn't know how many apostles there are in total, and the form and combat ability of each apostle. In other words, she doesn't know if the Eighth Apostle is in human form. At this time, the key point is that Ikari Yuantang has lost contact with them, which led to Misato Ikari Shenzi defining Roger as the Eighth Apostle. You have to know that other than the apostles, this world is actually a pure and standard non-magic dimension. This is a world where ordinary people are ordinary people, and there's nothing special about them. For someone like Roger to use such a powerful ability, the only possibility, or rather, in the eyes of the people in this world, is that he's an apostle. Unless there's someone who knows the inside story, otherwise … I think Nerv has already defined Roger as the Eighth Apostle, right?"
"What?"
Roger's expression was still indifferent, but the rest of the people were shocked. They all ran to the windows to look out. Their faces were filled with fear. They were all afraid that a large-scale high-power bomb would directly bombard them in the next second, or that an EVA would suddenly attack.
The reason why Roger was defined as the Eighth Apostle is because of Ge Chengmei. She defined him as such based on the common sense of this world and the fact that she couldn't contact Ianyuan Hall. At the same time, there's another premise that I mentioned just now. That is, before Roger exposed himself as the Eighth Apostle, he had already met Ianyuan Hall and became friends with him. At the same time, he behaved like a human and was a law-abiding human. For example, he paid for his meals and didn't kill the innocent. This means that Roger can communicate and understand each other, unlike a real apostle who only brings destruction. The biggest difference between Ge Chengmei and the rest is because it's very important. I repeat, Ge Chengmei is different from the rest. The most important reason is that she witnessed the second collision with her own eyes. At the same time, she was rescued because of her father. At that time, she realized that the father she always hated but always wanted to get close to actually loved her. This also caused her to have complicated feelings towards apostles. It's very complicated, it's neither love nor hate, so … "
"If it was another person who controlled Nerv, regardless of whether Roger was defined as an apostle or not, I wouldn't have made such a plan. However, Ge Chengmei is different. I repeated it for the third time. If it was her, her first reaction when she found an apostle that she could communicate with would definitely not be to call for an EVA to attack and destroy immediately. Her first reaction would definitely be …"
At this moment, a car drove up from below the building. A man and a woman alighted from the car. The man was Ianyuan Shinji and the woman was Ge Chengmei.
Xing immediately smiled. His expression was confident and wise. He continued, "She will definitely come and communicate with Roger …"
"Definitely!"
