Chapter 2019: The City of Demonic Mist in the Dead World (26)

2015.11.21
NERV headquarters, EVA proving ground.
"After investigation, the appearance of the 'Eleventh Apostle' was caused by the engineering department's inattentiveness when analyzing and transforming the body of the apostles and the incomplete elimination. After thorough rectification, the possibility of similar incidents has been eliminated," Katsuragi Misato Standing on the podium, he reported to Ikari Gendo on the screen: "The upcoming 'body swap experiment' is fundamentally different from it, and there will be no unexpected events."
"[It's better,]" Even in the video, Ikari Gendo kept his hands folded and covered his mouth: "[Continue the experiment, if there are any more accidents, you will change back to First Captain Katsuragi, Katsuragi San school.】"
"Yes!" Katsuragi Miri responded righteously.
"[I'm going to deal with the accountability of the local alliance.]" Ikariyuantang said, cutting off the communication.
"Ha..." Katsuragi Miri slumped her shoulders, exhaled, and turned to the three drivers behind her: "What you just said is true, there will be no problems in today's experiment, there is no need for too much pressure."
"The problem is very big! The pressure is very high!" Asuka Asuka pointed at Shinji: "How can I let him go to my family's cabbage!"
Where did she learn this saying, turning a corner and calling herself a pig? Ikari Shinji looked at the sky.
"The data you get from exchanging the pilot units will be the last piece of the puzzle for the manufacture of Unit 3," Akagi Ritsuko said from the side, "Because there is no risk or difficulty, it will be placed at the end. As long as it is successfully completed, we will be able to adapt to it. The data has elected a new driver."
"Don't be self-willed, Asuka," said Ryoji Kaji, who was not doing espionage and was watching the experiment here.
"Really, since Mr. Kaji said so," Asuka looked at the No. 2 aircraft outside the command window: "Poor daughter, let's take a bite."
It's a dog again, right?
This is difficult to understand, when she beat the sixth apostle, it was obviously the plug that she invited her to join.
Ikari Shinji didn't even bother to get angry, and tried a little to understand what Asuka was struggling with.
Because the boy was very shy because he entered his boudoir without his own leadership.
Slap, Ikari Shinji covered his face.
Inserting pegs is not your boudoir! I can't find any privacy in it!
"..." Ayanami glanced at him.
Huh? etc? Can it be found? No way?
"What's the exact order?" Rei Ayanami ignored Shinji Ikari's questioning eyes and raised his hand towards Misato Katsuragi.
"Delay according to the number," Katsuragi Miri watched the interaction of several drivers with interest, and said: "In the first round, Zero drove the first machine, Shinji-kun drove the second machine, Asuka drove the zeroth machine, and the second round , Zero drives the second machine, and so on."
"Yes."
Ayanami is completely through the motions, no matter which one is 50%, the key lies in the data of himself and Asuka.
Ikari Shinji looked at the bright red No. 2 machine while thinking, and then subconsciously turned his eyes to the orange No. 1 machine.
However, please don't have any illusions this time, otherwise the pressure will be really great.

"[The plug connection is completed!]"
"[The second contact is completed.]"
"[All members start the third contact!]"
[Curry Curry? 】The chestnut ball appeared as promised, first waving to Ikari Shinji, and then looking left and right in doubt.
Don't look at it, I have to go to the No. 0 machine later.
【Curry Curry! 】The chestnut ball covered his mouth with his small paws.
Yes, yes, I got them all, I'm a scumbag.
[Kuri Kuri] Chestnut Ball closed his claws in front of him, his eyes narrowed, and then, with an illusory popping sound, he spread out a pair of small white wings behind him.
What is "You are all my wings"? Where did you little guy learn from!
"[Shinji-kun? What are you doing?]" Akagi Ritsuko's voice sounded: "[Your current synchronization rate is 0.1%. If this is real data, I will record it.]"
"No... I was just debugging the settings of the plug," Ikari Shinji said half-truthfully, "Asuka's thinking mode turned out to be German."
"[Don't mess around!]" Asuka's face appeared in the communication box of Unit 0: "[Call me back when the experiment is over!]"
"Uh, but I will use Ayanami next..." Shinji Ikari blinked.
"[It doesn't matter,]" Ayanami's profile appeared in the communication box of the first machine: "[I can think in 58 languages ​​including German.]"
"[Hey, top student]." Asuka closed the communication.
Is this something an ordinary honor student can do? And you're in Ayanami's plug now, right?
By the way... are there so many languages ​​in the world?
"[There are 7,052 languages ​​known to exist in the world,]" Ayanami said, "[I only know a few commonly used ones.]"
"..." redefines the minority.
"[In all languages, there is only one word that is pronounced almost exactly the same,]" Ayanami continued: "[Mom]."
……Um?
"[Okay, okay, science can talk about the end of the experiment, hurry up and synchronize with the body.]" Akagi Ritsuko interrupted the chat.
? ? ?
"[Mom! Mom! Wow ah ah ah-]"
...I knew that Ayanami wouldn't do useless things.
Ikari Shinji looked at Asuka who was crying in front of him, and tried to reach out to comfort him, but found that he had no real body at all.
It was a pitch-dark world, and only a beam of unknown light shone from above, illuminating Asuka, who looked only four or five years old and was carrying a small schoolbag.
Pat, another beam of light reflected an intellectual woman who was busy in front of the computer, but her face was blurred.
"[If you have something to say, don't come to me if you can solve it yourself.]" The woman said in a slightly similar voice to Asuka, but much more indifferent.
"[Wow ah ah ah-]" The little Asuka obviously couldn't understand, and continued to cry, and the woman really didn't look back.
Pop, pop, the beam goes off and on, and the scene has changed.
"[Eligible...experiment?]" Asuka, who was about ten years old, looked at the intellectual woman in front of her.
"[Although you have completed your high school courses and received an invitation from a U.S. university, the honor of those ordinary people means nothing to us,]" the woman said: "[As a qualified person, become the driver of the EVA , the best driver should be your goal.

"[Then, if I can't...]"
"[Then go back and live with your father who has no ambitions and only thinks of 'wife and children'! I must have been blind in the first place to think that he is the same type of person as me.]"
Just this sentence, I am full of goodwill towards Mr. Suunliu!
"[I, I will try my best!]"
Well, it turns out that this girl's competitive spirit comes from this? That's quite sympathetic...
Pop, pop.
Newly appeared is Asuka, whose appearance is almost indistinguishable from the current one.
"[Mother, are you looking for me?]"
"[The apostle has appeared, the driver selected by NERV headquarters is not strong enough, and the third New Tokyo City has been destroyed several times. We have officially applied for support. You can go when you are ready. Don't embarrass me.]"
"[I heard that the commander over there chose his son to be the pilot? It's ridiculous, let me show him the strength of a genius pilot! Oh hehehe]"
Pity the ghost!
2015.11.21
"[The first round of experiments, Asuka and Unit 0, the synchronization rate is 56.5%, Ayanami Zero and Unit 1, the synchronization rate is 50%, and Shinji Ikari and Unit 2, the synchronization rate is 43.5%]" Akagi Ritsuko announced: "[Slightly After the rest, change the body to prepare for the second round of experiments.]

"Not bad," Asuka crossed her hips: "It's a 100% synchronization rate with me."
Really... forced to separate from her father since she was a child, and being used by her obsessed working mother as a tool to gain honor, as long as her personality is a little better, it's hard for people not to feel sympathy, but she just played a good hand to a pulp.
Forget it, most of the things that Ayanami showed to herself meant that she didn't want to have the same knowledge as her.
Huh...wait a minute, the No. 0 machine will go berserk, but the phantom of No. 1 machine is Rei Ayanami himself. Do the two of them have a synchronization rate at all?
"Well, you know, the first plane went berserk when it confronted the third apostle," Ikari Shinji thought for a while, and felt that he should still mention: "When you wait to drive it, try to be gentle."
"Hmph, you can't do that," Asuka raised her chin. "If it was me who was driving at the beginning, and the mere apostle would have caught me, I wouldn't have been beaten with blood in the eyes and had to run wild to win."
What does it mean that there is a way to heaven if you don't go, and there is no way to go to hell... I hope that Ayanami will be gentle when he rectifies her.
? ? ?
Um? Um?
Is this... school?
After getting into Unit 0 and starting to synchronize, Shinji Ikari was already ready to watch a few rounds of stage plays about Rei Ayanami's past, but the scene that appeared was almost the same as the real world.
The reason why it is "almost" is, of course, because there will be no two Ikari Shinji in reality.
This is the campus at dusk, and "Ikari Shinji" and "Ayanami Rei" are cleaning.
It's a rare scene because they didn't clean the classroom at all because of the activities of the literature department.
After Ikari Shinji tried it and found that he could move but couldn't touch anything, he ignored "self" who was cleaning the blackboard and walked to "Rei Ayanami" who was twisting the rag.
"Ayanami? Ayanami?" Ikari Shinji tried to say, or thought he had done the act of "speaking".
And "Ayanami Rei" who was twisting the rag completely ignored him.
Hmm... So this is actually a more advanced memory? But why can't I remember doing this?
"[What?]" "Ayanami Zero" suddenly said.
"Ah? There is still a delay?" Ikari Shinji replied: "I said, I don't know if the scene I'm watching was caused by you intentionally or unintentionally, but can you let me go back?"
"Ayanami zero" ignored him.
"[Ah, that, that's...]" The voice of "Ikari Shinji" came from behind her: "[I think the way you twist the rag is very similar to my mother's...]"
"Are you an idiot!" Ikari Shinji scolded "himself" angrily, unable to find the words in desperation and even learned Asuka's mantra.
"[Really?]" "Rei Ayanami" loosened the rag in his hand and began to wipe the table.
"[Well, yes,]" "Ikari Shinji" scratched his head from behind: "[Ayanami will definitely become a good mother in the future.]"
"Are you an idiot!!" Ikari Shinji couldn't find another word for a while, so he repeated it again.
"[Really.]" "Ayanami Zero" replied in a low voice.
"What, you want to hack him to death, it's none of my business..." Ikari Shinji subconsciously took two steps back: "...Huh?"
The idiot "Ikari Shinji" couldn't be seen behind him, but Ikari Shinji who was in front of "Ayanami Zero" could clearly see that there were two blushes on the girl's cheeks.
so cute……
wrong! You are not Ayanami! Who are you!
pat, pat.
With two familiar sound effects, the scene changed, but Shinji Ikari was still familiar.
[402, Ayanami]
In front of Ayanami's apartment, "Ayanami Rei" who is probably not Ayanami Rei is walking from the stairs to the door.
Hmm... a little weird... Ikari Shinji was spinning around the door.
The mailbox at the door was stuffed with flyers, various advertisements were posted on the door, and the walls were mottled. This was completely unlike the dormitory of Rei Ayanami, where the whole room was pure white without any extra color.
Isn't she really Ayanami herself? What about the other self?
squeak.
"Ayanami Rei" opened the door and entered the room, and found that there were already two uninvited guests inside. Not surprisingly, one of them was Ikari Shinji "himself", and the other was Suzuhara Toji, and there were still lingering voices about what they just said. echo:
"[I just like to clean up.]" "[Hmph, a manly man will never do housework!]"
still not right...
Ikari Shinji looked around the room, not only it was not white, it could even be called a gray house, with no trace of decoration, a simple iron bed and bedside table, beakers, bulk pills and capsules placed on the cabinet, gauze and medicines discarded everywhere Package.
If you have to say anything similar, then these pills and capsules are the same as "his own Ayanami Rei" in the literature club.
No, I just said that casually... Ikari Shinji corrected halfway in his heart and gave up.
Forget it, Ma Lingami should not be watching, and this is not what she wants to show herself.
If he insisted, it might be the expansion of his "phantom" ability.
"[What's the matter?]" "Ayanami Rei" glanced at "Suzuhara Toji" and "Ikari Shinji" who was carrying a garbage bag with his cool eyes.
"[Uh, we'll send you teaching notes!]" "Suzuhara Toji" jumped up, pointed to a stack of papers by the bed, and ran out: "[We'll go first if it's nothing—]"
"[Sorry, I cleaned it up, see you tomorrow.]" "Ikari Shinji" smiled at "Ayanami Rei", and walked behind "Suzumara Toji" with a garbage bag, and he also took the door behind him. .
"[Thank you.]" "Ayanami Zero" said blankly towards the empty room.
After more than ten seconds, the girl put aside the schoolbag she was carrying, and took two steps forward to lie on the bed.
"[Thank you.]" She repeated in a low voice, with a blush that was very similar to the previous scene on her cheeks.
Ikari Shinji finally took his eyes off the face of "Rei Ayanami", and sighed deeply:
"The idiot is me."
