"In fact, it's very simple. Just like how we guessed that SEELE was testing us, why can't we test SEELE instead?"
On the way to Nerv's headquarters, other than Ah Xing and Xiao, the rest of them obviously did not know why they proposed to go to the Final Dogma at this time, so they kept asking the two of them for the reason.
"What are we testing SEELE for?" Someone else asked.
Ah Xing smiled and explained, "It's very simple. SEELE is related to the apostles, or even SEELE directly controls the apostles. These are all my and Xiao's conjectures. Or you can say that they are conjectures. Anyway, we really don't know if SEELE is related to the apostles. If they are not related, then many of our conjectures have to be reconsidered. But if they are related … then there are many things in this world that can be explained by our conjectures."
"Of course." Ah Xing raised a finger and said, "Most importantly, if we can confirm that SEELE is related to the apostles, then our next plan will have the most definite guarantee!"
"So …" Roger scratched his head and said, "How are we going to get into Nerv's headquarters? Shall I bring you in? "
"No need, no need." Ah Xing shook his head and said directly, "We are not here for a sneak attack, nor are we here to fight. We are here to negotiate and discuss, so … let's just knock on the door and go in."
The so-called knocking on the door … meant that they walked directly to the outermost area of Nerv's headquarters through the main road, and then waited casually at the security checkpoint, waiting for the security personnel to pass on their information. Of course, as soon as they got close to Nerv's headquarters, the entire Nerv's internal department was already tense, and the three EVAs were already at the launch port.
But fortunately, Roger and the rest did not do anything. They just waited quietly at the security checkpoint. Those who did not know Roger's true identity naturally did not care, but those who knew that Roger was an apostle did not know what to do.
"… Do you want to see me?"
When Gecheng Meri knew that Roger and the others were near the headquarters, she had already rushed to the command center. The order for the three EVAs to be on standby was also issued by her. Of course, when Roger didn't make any movements, she didn't immediately order the attack. Instead, she asked Roger and the others about their intentions through a long-range phone call.
After Gecheng Meri made the call, she looked at Lu Zi. Lu Zi nodded with a smile and didn't say anything.
Did I get any results from my probing?
After all, the current situation was a dead end. The apostle in the sky was not descending. Instead, he was using the gravity of the Earth and the Moon to accelerate. Although the military forces in the universe were attacking non-stop while he was accelerating, everyone knew that these conventional attacks were useless. Without the AT force field, they could not even break through the apostle's defense. This was simply a dead end. Ge Chengmei had no other choice. In fact, she was wondering whether she should talk to Roger. Who knew that Roger and the others would come first.
With such a thought in mind, Ge Chengmei drove to the outermost security checkpoint, then found a room nearby, and began to ask Roger the purpose of their visit without any courtesy.
As usual, Ah Xing was the one who spoke. He looked at Xiao and realized that Xiao was acting as if he was a child and did not speak. Hence, he said directly, "We are here to discuss something with you, something very important."
Ge Chengmei frowned, but still said patiently, "To be honest, you came at a bad time today. Not to mention that the commander is not in the headquarters, we do not have any officials who can talk to you. Just based on the current situation, we cannot talk to you. The current situation …"
Ah Xing laughed and said, "Are you referring to the apostle in the sky? He did not descend. On the contrary, he is using the gravity of the Earth and the Moon to accelerate. Is this the matter? "
Ge Chengmei was shocked. But when she saw Roger at the side, she suddenly understood. After all, Roger was also an apostle. Who knew if there was any connection between apostles?
Ge Chengmei thought for a while and said, "Yes, this is the situation. To be honest, this is not only our problem. To put it bluntly, we do not have any way to stop the apostle's actions. Once he accelerates to a limit and lands on Earth, then there will be a third collision. By then, mankind will be extinct, and even this planet will … This situation is definitely not what you want to see, right?"
Ah Xing nodded and said, "We are here for this. The matter that we want to discuss with you should be able to solve the problem at hand."
Ge Chengmei immediately looked at Roger and said, "Is Roger planning to support us? His AT force field can shift space … can he also go to outer space? "
"That is not what I mean."
Ah Xing shook his head and said, "We do not intend to fight with the apostle directly. After all, this is your battlefield. Our way of assisting you is not to fight with the apostle. We intend to discuss with you … why not let us enter the final doctrine?"
"Wha, what?"
Ge Chengmei was shocked again. This time, she was really shocked. Roger was an apostle after all. If an apostle entered the Final Dogma, it would mean that the third collision was happening. This was also the only reason why the Nerv organization existed. It was to prevent any apostles from invading the Final Dogma. Now, an apostle actually told her that he could enter the Final Dogma. Was this a joke?!
"No, we are not joking. Of course, we do not intend to force our way in."
Facing Ge Chengmei's shock and questioning, Ah Xing was still calm. He smiled and continued, "That is why we are here to discuss with you. Firstly, we want to enter the final doctrine. Secondly, we hope that Nerv will invite us to enter the final doctrine."
Ge Chengmei immediately shouted, "This is impossible! Let's not talk about the fact that you want to enter the final doctrine. Nerv will not invite you to enter the final doctrine. You must know that the purpose of Nerv's establishment is … "
"To prevent the third collision from happening, right?"
Ah Xing interrupted Ge Chengmei's words and said, "Then how do you know that the third collision will occur when an apostle enters the final doctrine?"
Ge Chengmei opened her mouth but was speechless for a moment. Ah Xing did not stop and continued, "Who told you that apostles will experience the third collision when they enter the final doctrine? This is one of the reasons. Secondly … do you know what is in the final doctrine? Then how do you know … the apostle's real purpose must be the final doctrine? "
Ge Chengmei was stunned by the question. She wanted to say something but did not know what to say. In fact, an apostle will trigger the third collision. Once an apostle enters the final doctrine, it will trigger the third collision. These things were unknowingly formed. The so-called common sense was that many scientists, researchers, and large amounts of data and verification. Especially the research results of the second collision that happened in Antarctica. This series of inquiries and bombardment led to the conclusion that an apostle entering the final doctrine will trigger the third collision. But in fact … there was no verification, no confirmation, and no absolute evidence to prove that an apostle entering the final doctrine will trigger the third collision …
Ge Chengmei was silent for a few minutes and slowly calmed down. She sorted out the thoughts in her mind and said to Ah Xing, "Are you saying that all of this is a lie and a conspiracy? An apostle entering the final doctrine will not trigger the third collision. Nerv mechanism … is a conspiracy? "
Ah Xing spread out his hands and said, "I will not say any conclusion. All the conclusions are up to you to verify and come up with. In fact, the reason why we are here is to help you solve the problem of the apostle in the sky who may destroy the human civilization. Do you still remember our purpose of coming here?"
Ge Chengmei nodded silently. Ah Xing said, "Then, why don't you give it a try? You now have the highest authority in the entire Nerv mechanism, don't you? Send out an announcement and an invitation. Let everyone and all the forces know that you are inviting an apostle, inviting Roger to enter the final doctrine. Then guess what will happen? "
Ge Chengmei was not a stupid person. She kept thinking about what would happen with the invitation. After a long time, she suddenly said, "You are suspecting the commander … no, suspecting the huge force behind Nerv, and suspecting the apostle himself. Is that so? And the things in the final doctrine are also … "
When Ah Xing heard this, he only smiled and did not say anything else. Ge Chengmei looked at him, then at Roger, and then at the rest of the people. After a long time, she suddenly said, "I understand …"
"As the temporary commander, I will issue a new round of orders from the Nerv Society. As the Nerv, I will invite you to enter the Final Dogma. In … six hours, you will be able to enter the Final Dogma, if …"
"If the apostle in the sky continues to accelerate and does not descend!"
