Chapter 2005: The City of Demonic Mist in the Dead World (20)

—2015.8.6—
NERV headquarters.
"[NERV's humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic in the world these two days,]"
"[Now let's take a look at the comments of the commander-in-chief of the Earth United Nations, Kaos Claude,]"
"[General Claude, who has always been straight-minded, said bluntly: 'NERV lost to the apostles like this, I'm afraid it won't even save face'.]"
"[Ouch, NERV increases the armament budget every year, saying that they want to fight the apostles, year after year, how much money is required, and are there any results? They—]"
Di, Ikari Yuantang turned off the broadcast of the Earth Alliance news, and looked down at the command department below, his glasses were shining: "The Earth Alliance's N2 bomb destroyed 22% of the structure of the apostles, they are expected to wake up in five days, I don't want to see a second failure."
"Yes, we have already formulated a plan for the second battle." Katsuragi Misato replied.
"Include the plan to fail again and have to defend in the Third New Tokyo City," Ikari Gendo said, turning around and leaving: "I'll deal with those complaints and bills."
The entire headquarters was silent, and it took nearly ten minutes after Ikegen Hall left, before the earnest whispers began to sound.
"It's all! It's all you! It's making me embarrassed!" Asuka turned her head to meet Shinji Ikari, who was sitting beside her, with a cold brow.
"Uh..." Ikari Shinji opened his mouth, wanting to refute that you were alone and killed by two people. What's the matter with my firepower cover, and in the illusion, it was obviously me who saved you, but think about it carefully, if you didn't With "explosion heat return", the second machine whose attack was reduced to 0 would probably be broken, and she herself can only lie in the hospital with devastated body and look at the ceiling - this is still a possibility to try to think about the best.
So he really made her look ugly, nothing wrong, Ikari Shinji scratched the back of his head and didn't respond.
If you have to explain this sentence from a realistic level, you can only say - "It's all because you are too weak to defeat the apostle who went to find you and then come back to save me and make me embarrassed."
It's unreasonable...
"What kind of posture is that! It's stuck in the sea like a radish!"
"Shame! You immediately quit the battlefield for me!"
"If I were fighting alone, I would never be so embarrassed!"
"This is my first appearance in Japan—"
Uh-huh? That's right... Ikari Shinji raised his eyebrows slightly.
This time, the words cannot be listened to and analyzed sentence by sentence. They are not accusing him or the first machine of mistakes at all. The translation of a whole paragraph of her words should be:
- I failed in my first battle. Not only was I ugly, but I was so embarrassed in defeat, I just wanted to find a hole to get in so that no one could see it woo woo woo...
So the one who knew what she did the whole time was the target of the blow, right? This act of being frightened and stabbing all over...
"Hedgehog." Ayanami said in a low voice.
"..." Ikari Shinji turned to look at her dumbfounded.
"I can't read minds," she added.
Look, what is the gap, this is called the gap.
"Okay!" Katsuragi Miri stopped Asuka from stabbing people everywhere: "We will immediately study ways to deal with this 'twin apostle' who has never appeared before, and conduct targeted training for you, before that..."
She snapped the show back on and started looping, then turned and walked away:
"Show me here, take a fancy, three hours."
What timing unit is that?
"[NERV said they were already preparing for the second battle—]"
"[Ouch, thank God, a battle like this doesn't have a good foundation in itself. Even if you can win this time, can you guarantee that next time, a more powerful apostle will win? I advise them to put the concept of apostle first. understand.]"
...Where did you find General Brokenmouth?

The Garden of Gathering, the Literary Society.
"Uh, you mean, the plan made by NERV to urgently increase the synchronization rate is... to stay together 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, eating and sleeping together, even going to the toilet and bathing together?"
"Yes," Ikari Shinji shrugged, "so I was kicked out."
"I think if it was Ayanami-san, she wouldn't care about this kind of thing," Kirishima's real name rolled her eyes: "Ah, I didn't mean she was very casual."
"I know what you mean, and she didn't object at all, but Asuka firmly disagreed, shouting something 'indecent' and 'violating morals', I said 'do you want to be with you', and was chased Calling 'idiot', 'perverted', 'death'," Ikari Shinji pouted: "In the end, I can only let her and Ayanami go to training."
"The synchronization of the two of them...isn't it difficult?" Kirishima Mame looked towards the roof.
"It's very difficult," Shinji Ikari picked up the teacup and drank water: "There is only a 50% chance of synchronization at most."
"Well..." Kirishima's real name looked at his water glass and stood up: "I'll go make another pot of tea."
"No, no," Shinji Ikari waved his hand: "I came here just to avoid those who were too curious to ask me about the battle details, but it would be strange for you to be here. If Ayanami is not here, you have no reason. Come here, and you're still wearing a maid outfit?"
"No," Kirishima's footsteps paused for a while, but didn't stop, still walked to the cubicle to boil the water, and then walked back and sat down: "I just...have nowhere to go."
"Why, is the Earth Alliance military so harsh with its subordinates? They don't give any rest time?" Ikari Shinji joked, then waved his hand and added: "Well, I'm not kidding you, I'm not interested in military intelligence."
"Then what if I want to say it?" Kirishima's true name looked at him with water-blue eyes.
"Uh... Then I'll listen?" Ikari Shinji blinked.
Strange thing, why didn't I find myself so attractive before? Of course, it should just be self-indulgent.
"My father was a hydraulic scientist in old Tokyo, and my mother was a magazine editor," Kirishima's real name said. "I'm not some kind of military spy."
"Hmm..." Ikari Shinji looked at her thoughtfully.
"I know you don't believe it, after all, Ayanami-kun-"
"No, I believe," Ikari Shinji waved his hand: "I believe you are not a military spy, at least, not the 'now you'."
"...!" Kirishima's face turned pale, and his hands tightly grasped the cuffs.
"I didn't ask Ayanami, but it's almost unimaginable to raise an ignorant child to be a spy and to guarantee her loyalty. If you let me guess, what 'Kisara', 'Blue Eyes White Dragon', You haven't heard of it, have you?" Ikari Shinji asked.
"Yes... Two months ago, I was just an ordinary middle school student..." Kirishima's real name said.
"But, something unexpected happened at that time, and you became a spy of the military with all your heart." Ikari Shinji continued.
"..." Kirishima's real name bit his lip, but did not speak.
"Kirishima-san, could you please tell me what your superpower as a 'qualified person' is?" Shinji Ikari continued.
"..." Kirishima's real name lowered his head.
"The 'Assembly Garden' is a school funded by NERV and only admits qualified students. There are no 'ordinary middle school students' in it," Shinji Ikari shook his head: "Except for the qualified students who have been shown and can be directly used. Other than those, there are only qualified candidates who have "great potential", but if they know that your super power is actually related to [time], you can't be a maid so leisurely. "
"Then, can you guess what happened to me?" At this time, Kirishima's real name had calmed down, and he changed back to the tea serving maid.
"Have you met your 'self'?" Ikari Shinji spread his hands: "You have become a military spy in the 'future', but there is no way to penetrate the NERV's spy defense network, so you want to develop your 'past self' into a 'Off the assembly line', infiltrating the relatively simple NERV at the time, Ayanami originally did not intend to find you, but after you contacted your future self, you completed the logical closed loop, 'from the beginning, you were a spy', so I decisively put you I caught it, and the titles like 'Kishara' and 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' are actually the codenames for 'future you'."
"To be honest, I don't think these code names sound good, and I will definitely find a way to change them in the future." Kirishima's real name blinked.
"The 'future you' thought the same thing in the 'past'," Shinji Ikari replied.
"…"
Woo - the kettle next door rang.
"Please wait." Kirishima's real name stood up.
Hmm... Ikari Shinji looked at her back in a maid outfit and began to think.
Obviously, the guy "Information Integrated Mind" doesn't have the ability to travel through time. The information it gets is all from what "Future Kirishima's True Name" said to "Current Kirishima's True Name", which can neither be proved nor falsified. , and it is impossible to determine when the "real name of Kirishima in the future" will appear again, and he can only urge Ayanami to catch her and control her, but obviously Ayanami's "catch up" and "control" are completely different from its understanding.
The current situation is that Kirishima's real name, whether in the future or now, does not know the existence of the "Information Integration Missing Body", otherwise, he would not be so careless about directly talking about intelligence, and consider it as NERV's powerful intelligence network, and "Information Integration Missing" I don't know how much information "the future Kirishima's real name" has about Eve, and he is going to continue to observe.
Can the middleman make the difference?
"Shinji-san," Kirishima's true name poured two more cups of tea, and then sat down opposite Ikari Shinji: "Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."
"I'm the pilot of the first EVA plane, I won't be afraid." Ikari Shinji picked up the teacup and touched the temperature.
"The third shock, [has] happened," Kirishima's real name looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "The future me said that in her world, [May 1, 2015], Shortly after the appearance of the third apostle, the third shock occurred, and she wanted to prevent it from happening, but when she came back, she found that she did nothing, and the third shock did not happen."
"..." Ikari Shinji looked up at the calendar.
This tea is so hot.

Suruga estuary.
"[Zero! Asuka! Execute the plan according to the content of your training!]" Katsuragi Miri said loudly in the command channel: "[According to analysis, the seventh apostle will split or merge after the core is fatally attacked to avoid being destroyed. , the reaction interval of this behavior is less than 0.03 seconds, it is almost impossible to catch the gap, but this behavior has a cooldown time of 62 seconds, you must destroy them at the same time again during this time, understand?

"【clear.】"
"[Leave it to this talented driver! This time I will definitely kill those bastards!]"
No, this is completely out of sync, right? What are you training for? Ikari Shinji sat in the plug of the first machine and muttered silently.
[Curry Kuri~] Chestnut Ball expressed his approval.
"[Shinji-kun, you are in charge of support, I won't give you specific orders, just act accordingly.]"
"OK."
Then let's play cards.
The information about NERV is roughly the same as what I know. The opposite seems to be a bald man who only has [Fusion] and [Fusion Release] in the two decks. Whenever any demon of Lei Fengshui is about to be defeated, they will use [Fusion]. Create a guardian of the door, and the guardian of the door is about to be defeated, they will use [Fusion Release] to create three demon gods, and the use interval is exactly the same as their card draw time.
The guardian of the door has high attack and high defense, and the devil has the disgusting ability to turn the attacker's attack power into 0. You must defeat them within 60 seconds of only two card draws...
Totally, no, problem.
"[Battle begins!]"
Draw a card!
【Elemental Hero · Bubble Man】
Summon Bubbleman and draw two cards.
【Elemental Hero · Hot Girl】
[Pot of Desire: Draw two cards]
Hit the pot of lust.
[Elemental Hero·Wingman: Attack Power: 1000, Defense Power: 1000]
[Flask of Desire: Draw a card after the cap release is activated]
Hmm... It's a bit troublesome, the bottle of is a trap card, and I am not involved in the battle, so I cannot activate it when the opponent is attacking.
In other words... a hand full of low-attack monsters that can smash the opponent with just two?
Ikari Shinji put his hand on the deck and looked up at the battlefield.
Although the image of the apostle was replaced by that "devil", the general situation of the battlefield could still be seen.
The orange machine 0 and the red machine 2 are like two figure skaters who are performing ballet on ice. They are shuttled back and forth in the attack of the devil with exquisite cooperation, avoiding the attacks again and again.
In the end, they took aim at the apparently weakest Fengma, and the two EVAs swirled and kicked at it.
The Wind Demon God flickered, covering Unit 0 with a misty green light, and Unit 0 immediately gave up the attack as if he had noticed it and turned around, letting Unit 2, who was not affected, hit with one kick.
Bang!
The Wind Demon God turned into a golden spot of light.
Almost at the same time, a "fusion" was erected in front of the bald phantom, and the three demon gods turned into golden lights and converged into one at the same time.
Come on, big guy with 3750 attack, let's see what I can draw this time.
Draw cards and activate the bottle of lust!
【Fusion】
[Favorite Hero: Only 'Heroes' can be equipped, the attack power increases by the value of the defense power, and when an attack is launched, a field magic card is activated from the deck. 】
Hmm... the play order is simple and easy to understand.
"[Three cores appear on the apostle! Shinji-kun!]"
"clear!"
Boom, boom, boom!
As the No. 1 machine ran wildly, its surrounding environment suddenly changed, from a river estuary at noon to a magnificent city at midnight, and above the tallest spire building in the city, a full-body man was standing. Green, a tall man with white wings stretched on his left arm and a red dragon head connected to his right arm.
[Elemental Hero Firewing Man, Attack 2100, Defense 1200]
【skyscraper】
The hero glanced at the "Guardian of the Gate" that was raging in the city, spread his wings without hesitation, and gliding down, the flames spewed from the dragon's head and the first machine hit the monster at the same time.
[Flame Wing, Attack Power: 4300]
[When destroying an enemy monster, inflict damage to the enemy's monster's ATK. 】
"[Ouch, ooh—!]"
The two bald heads, the guardian of the door, and the seventh apostle who finally revealed their true face exploded into a cross beam of light soaring into the sky.
