"Understood, Commander. Maintain observation mode for the time being. The base will keep one pilot on alert at all times. That's …"
Ge Chengmei put down the communicator and ended the call with Anchorage Hall on the Moon. She did not know what to feel. She hoped that Anchorage Hall would give the order to directly attack the apostle named Roger, but she was also worried that Anchorage Hall would make such a decision.
After talking to Roger, or rather, Roger's group, she immediately returned to the base and ordered the entire base to keep two pilots on standby at the highest alert state. Then, she waited in the base for Anchorage Hall's communication to be connected.
Just like that, the entire base maintained the highest alert state until the communication with Anchorage Hall was finally connected. When Ge Chengmei told Anchorage Hall that Roger was an apostle, her attempts to contact him, and some of the things that he said, Anchorage Hall maintained a state of silence for at least five minutes before giving the order to observe temporarily and not attack.
Ge Chengmei was naturally not stupid. She did not say some of the things that she said. She knew that once the higher-ups knew that she knew about these things, the outcome that awaited her would not be good. Perhaps she would just disappear one day. However, it was impossible for her to not say anything. After all, many people saw that the other party was an apostle, and she personally went there. She could not deny it, but it was also impossible for her to say everything … Thinking of this, Ge Chengmei really hated that Holy Apostle named Ah Xing. Why did he let her know everything …
Gecheng Miri was a person who was very good at hiding. Although she appeared to be a little careless and liked to speak openly, in fact, she knew how to hide better than anyone else. She had been investigating all kinds of information about Nerv, all kinds of information about the apostles, and the relationship between the various countries and SEELE since a long time ago. In fact, she had also contacted a group of capable and powerful people. She had prepared plans for all kinds of situations, but who knew that a humanoid apostle would suddenly appear and tell her so much inside information …
Should she believe it … No, it should be, what should she do? Anchorage Hall's reaction proved that there must be some dark inside information …
After that, Ge Chengmei contacted Kaji Ryoji, who had arrived in New Tokyo, through her secret channel. Then, she vaguely confirmed the existence of the second gun, Cassius, from this man who knew a lot of secrets …
"Marine Biological Ecology Conservation Institute?"
After finishing today's routine EVA driving test, Iichi Shinji was delighted to find that his synchronization rate had greatly increased, surpassing Asuka's by more than 10%. It was said that Miss Misato's ex-boyfriend, an uncle named Aiji Yoshiharu greeted him and invited him to visit the so-called Marine Biological Ecological Protection Research Institute.
In fact, Iichi Shinji refused at first. He could not go just because someone asked him to. However, when he heard that Asuka, Ling Boli, two of his best friends, and Uncle Roger would also be invited, he finally could not resist the temptation and agreed. This was because the most important people to him were basically invited. Although he did not say it out loud, he was very happy in his heart, especially since he had something to talk to Ling Boli recently. Moreover, his relationship with Asuka seemed to be getting better …
Generally speaking, it seemed that after meeting Uncle Roger recently, everything seemed to be getting better. Friends, colleagues, and even family. According to Miss Misato, when his father found out that his synchronization rate had increased again, even though he was on the moon, he praised him and said that he had done a good job. This made him very happy. This feeling of small efforts, step by step, and finally culminating in the final result … was really good. It also gave him some hope. If he worked a little harder, tried to make friends with his friends, and tried to communicate with his father, in the end, this world … would be kinder to him?
With this thought in mind, for the first time, Iichi Shinji took the initiative to contact those who were invited. Asuka already knew about it, and Ling Boli seemed to have some reasons for not going to school for a long time, so he had to personally inform her. Then, there were two of his best friends, and then Uncle Roger. He hoped that Uncle Roger also liked marine life.
Then, on the third day, which was the day of the invitation, other than Ling Boli who was late, the rest had already arrived at the destination. In fact, this place was an exclusive security area of the government. There were even troops guarding the periphery of the research institute. Although it was completely incomparable to the Nerv base, it was still a heavily guarded area. If it was not for Yoshiharu's invitation to lead the team, basically no one would be able to enter this place … under normal circumstances.
However, to everyone's surprise, other than Roger who was invited, there was another person who came with Roger. It was Ah Xing who had a conversation with Gecheng Miri before. In fact, after the conversation with Gecheng Miri, Ah Xing also analyzed the various situations that would happen next. The biggest possibility was that Yoshiharu would invite Roger to visit the marine life protection research institute.
In fact, there were two possibilities. One was that Gejiro Misato and Kaichi Ryoji did not communicate with each other in private. This was because in the original EVA plot, whether it was the original TV version or the new movie version, Kaichi Ryoji was a spy with a mysterious identity. Moreover, it was very likely that he was a double or multiple spy. His background was unknown. It seemed like he was from the SEELE organization, but also from various countries. He might even be a spy from another mysterious organization. In short, he was very mysterious. The first possibility was that Kaichi Ryoji did not know from Gejiro Misato that Roger was an apostle. However, because Roger's origin was unknown, he invited Roger to come along and search for traces of Roger's existence.
As for the second situation, it was that Gecheng Miri and Yoshiharu were in contact. It did not refer to the relationship between the two of them on the surface. It referred to the relationship between the two of them secretly exchanging information. If that was the case, then Yoshiharu would know about Roger's identity as an apostle. This time, inviting Roger was definitely not just to test him.
No matter what the situation was, Ah Xing did not think that Roger could handle it well. In his opinion, the most likely situation was that Roger would admit that he was not an apostle after being questioned. Or, he would give an irrelevant answer and let others know that he was an idiot. No matter what the situation was, Ah Xing's plan would be completely subverted. Therefore, Ah Xing had no choice but to come along. Moreover, he was also very interested in Yoshiharu. If he wanted to get in touch with Yoshiharu, he might need his help in the future plan.
In this way, although Ah Xing was an outsider, under the situation where Yoshiharu followed along, he still followed everyone into the research institute. After more than ten procedures and various sterilization and dust removal, everyone entered the real core area of the research institute. There was a large number of marine life there, from the largest whale to the smallest jellyfish. There were almost all kinds of marine life in the vicinity of the Sea of Japan.
"… After the second collision, the marine environment changed and turned into a strange liquid that was similar to the diluted blood of living creatures. The marine life in the past could no longer survive in it. Although the governments of various countries took urgent action, firstly, the time was too tight. Secondly, it was the time when the second collision happened. There were a large number of natural disasters and human deaths. More manpower and material resources were used to save humans. Therefore, when the situation stabilized, the governments of various countries realized that humans might have permanently lost the ocean and all marine life had become a rare species …"
While Ikari Shinji, Asuka Asuka, Ling Boli and the other children were playing around, Roger, Ah Xing and Kaori Ryoji were standing together, and Kaori Ryoji was the one who said those words.
Roger glanced at Ah Xing and thought of Ah Xing's previous advice. He held back his words and did not say anything. Ah Xing said directly, "Mr. Yoshiharu, are you related to this research institute? I don't think ordinary people can come in here, right? "
Yoshiharu habitually wanted to take out a cigarette, but then he remembered that he was in the protected area of the research institute. It was absolutely impossible for him to smoke here, so he could only touch his nose and said, "This is not Nerv's sphere of influence. In fact, Nerv doesn't care much about creatures other than apostles and EVAs, including humans … If you want to talk, this might be the safest place. At least a dozen protective procedures can ensure that there is no eavesdropping device here."
(So … is it the second situation? They already know our identity, so they are here to tell us everything?)
Yoshiharu took a few deep breaths and said, "Then, I will say it directly … I am very curious. This Roger, apostle … already has the Fruit of Wisdom?"
Ah Xing glanced at Roger, then turned back to Yoshiharu and said, "Why do you think so? Just because he doesn't go around destroying things immediately? Then, can he speak human language? "
"No." Yoshiharu laughed. He looked at Roger, then looked at the huge protective water tank and said slowly, "Because I have read the Dead Sea Scrolls. I know that there is only one apostle who has both the Fruit of Wisdom and the Fruit of Life. And I know that apostle is on the moon, and he is also working hard to save this world …"
"So, who are you?"
