Chapter 2002: The City of Demonic Mist in the Dead World (17)

—2015.6.26—
Pacific High Seas.
"[Asuka, as soon as I heard that Unit 2 was moving on its own, I knew that you started the EVA without authorization. You... eh? I saw Shinji Ikari behind Asuka's driver's seat.
"Hmph, this idiot was just peeking at the bottom of the skirt of the second machine. I was going to teach him a lesson, but the apostle suddenly appeared, so I had to be merciful and let him go in and hide," Asuka raised her chin and said, "But Don't worry, even if I'm disturbed by him, I have a 41.5% sync rate, and I have no problem picking up a big fish."
"[Well, I believe in your strength... Shinji-kun, are you okay?]" Misato Katsuragi looked at Shinji Ikari behind her.
"That... The driver's uniform for the second plane doesn't fit very well," Shinji Ikari was wearing the same red combat uniform as Asuka at this time: "The chest is too tight, the waist is too loose, and..."
"Are you an idiot! Just bear with me if you're a boy!" Asuka interrupted loudly.
Literally fried hair, her shawl hair fell apart like a lion's mane after the plug was inserted and watered.
Sure enough, short hair like Ayanami Rei's hairstyle is suitable for driving EVA.
I don't know what she would look like if she had long hair.
"[Don't worry about that, I have information about the sixth apostle here, I will send it to you first, and then share its current location, we still don't know why it attacked here instead of the third new Tokyo city, please be sure to careful.】"
"Needless to say? Of course, I am afraid that a genius driver like me will join you and want to intercept halfway, and this will be the worst decision he made in his life, oh hehe~"
After being stabbed twice by the shaking Asuka's hair, Shinji Ikari sighed—though he couldn't get it out of the water—as he started braiding her hair and twisting it up.
"Don't touch the girl's hair! Are you an idiot?" Asuka tilted her head slightly and scolded: "Now the situation is urgent, I usually wear a hair ring."
"Well, what's your AT force field strength?" Ikari Shinji asked.
"4000? Isn't this common sense?" Asuka glanced at him: "I heard that although some qualified people can activate EVA, but the AT force field is only 2000, and they were finally brushed down, shouldn't you be the same? Relationship? Household?"
Anyway, they are higher than their own 100 points.
"Then I'll ask the talented pilot to repel the apostles this time." Ikari Shinji hid behind her seat again.
"Hmph, who do you think I am?" Asuka said loudly while browsing the information from Katsuragi Misato: "Asuka, attack!"
Unit 2 pulled out the utility knife from its shoulder—the one that waved something or something, and took the pose of a samurai ready for Iai.
Great, we can paddle this time.
Ikari Shinji high-fives the chestnut ball with a small gesture.
【Curry Curry~】
The next moment, the "Duel Disc" quietly emerged.
Hmm... Anyway, draw the card first, maybe she doesn't need help?
[The Giant Soldier of the Rock: Attack: 1300, Defense: 2000]
This can't be seen by Nendorman.

"【Kang—】"
"Death to me!...Damn! Hiding again!"
The huge fish-shaped apostle swept over the battleship and fell into the sea from the other side, while the No. 2 aircraft, which jumped high, slashed into the air and fell back to the deck of the aircraft carrier, stepping it to sink.
The battle has been going on for three minutes, but it can be said that there is no victory. The fish-shaped sixth apostle did not fight head-to-head with No. 2 aircraft at all. He was only trying to destroy the ship.
It was clearly clear that as long as there was no foothold, the red robot was no longer a threat.
"[Calm down, Asuka, the second plane does not carry diving equipment, only when the apostles launch an attack and surface to the surface will they have the opportunity to attack.]" Katsuragi Misato said in the communication.
"I'm catching Timeing! But there's no pattern to its behavior!" Asuka complained.
"[We will continue to track and interfere, you try to suppress it.]"
"Damn..." Asuka's eyes swept across the rows of data, and suddenly turned to look at Shinji Ikari hiding behind the seat: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at the fact that the apostles didn't dare to face off against the second plane," Shinji Ikari blinked: "You may already know that I was beaten by the apostles in the third new Tokyo city. It was a miserable thing."
"Hmph... that's your stupidity," Asuka raised her chin and turned her head back: "With my help, no matter what apostle is, he will only be hanged and beaten."
Well, Asuka's attitude is just ordinary, the attitude of an uninformed driver towards an apostle, I really thought it was a robot or a monster movie.
[Curry Kuri~] Chestnut Ball nodded again and again.
Well, he just accidentally laughed because the formula for victory had already been completed, and Shinji Ikari looked at the external scenery displayed on the inner wall of the plug.
It was a "blue" sea.
[Sea: The attack and defense of Aqua and Fish monsters are increased by 200 points, and the attack and defense of Flame and Machine monsters are reduced by 200 points. 】
"[Kang—]" The fish-shaped apostle jumped up provocatively.
Perhaps because of the presence of "God" in the deck, the card data of the Sixth Apostle became clearly visible:
[Whale in the Walled City, Attack: 2350, Defense: 2150. 】
[When there is a 'sea' on the field, it cannot be selected as the target of attacks and effects. 】
Well, it's a chicken.
"Bastard! Don't run!" No. 2 chased the destroyer's deck as a stepping stone all the way, but only touched the water splashed when the opponent re-entered the water.
Forget it, let her play like this again, what if the apostle succeeds?
"Asuka?" Ikari Shinji said, "Who else went to NERV headquarters with Unit 2? Or, what?"
"And my guardian, Mr. Kaji Ryoji," Asuka glanced at Shinji Ikari: "He is 10,000 times more handsome than you."
Coincidentally, my face value is minus 5.
"[What-what-!]" Misato Katsuragi exploded first: "[That is on the boat?!]"
"Ex?" Ikari Shinji teased.
"[It's the 'incumbent',]" Misato Katsuragi's voice became gloomy: "[It's the 'incumbent' shared by Ritsuko Akagi and I, and the two of us agreed to 'equally' him the next time we meet.]"
"Hey, filthy lord." Asuka snorted.
Hmm...I guess she didn't mean that.
"Anyway, ask the fleet commander to send someone to catch him, and by the way, find out if he has anything strange - don't need to open it, just find it." Ikari Shinji said.
"[Why should I listen to you? Kid?]" The commander's old voice sounded.
"Because, if he walks away with the things that attracted the apostles, your fleet will be wiped out," Shinji Ikari continued without waiting for the commander to retort, "Sister Misato can go by plane, and EVA can wait at the bottom of the sea. rescue."
"[…Hmph, even if he grows wings, he won't want to fly away.]"
—
"[After analysis, we confirmed the action mode of the apostles,]" Misato Katsuragi's voice was a little elated: "[It has been trying to lure you away from the flagship side to raid something brought by a bastard, we You can count on it—]

"Hey, related household, how did you think of it?" Asuka listened to the plan and communicated with Ikari Shinji in a low voice: "I was a little strange at first, how can a guardian be transferred with the driver's change of guard? It's not... my father. "
"Because the Third New Tokyo City also has something similar, otherwise why do you think the apostles have been attacking there?"
Anyone with a normal mind can think of this kind of thing, but she might find trouble in the future, so it's better to say it in advance.
"then you-"
"I'm an affiliate."
"..." Asuka, who choked back without saying a word, glared at him fiercely.
However, there is no need to tell her about the details.
Since the purpose of the apostles is to contact "Eve" and trigger the third shock, then this attack will not be meaningless. That is to say, if the apostles get the thing carried by the fleet, it will also trigger the third shock. .
However, the doubt is here. If the results of "getting that thing" and "contacting Eve" are the same, why did the third, fourth and fifth apostles choose to attack the third new Tokyo city? Especially the fifth apostle, that is "God". If he wants to attack anywhere, he can't stop it without himself. Why didn't he attack the original storage place of "that thing"?
Ikari Shinji's current speculation is that what was sent was some kind of key item when "Eve" was transformed into "Adam", like... Saiyan tail?
Because Eve was cut off from that thing, the process of becoming Adam was terminated, and she was sealed by NERV.
Further inference, in the eyes of most of the apostles, contacting Eve to make it Adam and triggering the third shock is the normal route, but a few apostles may think, get "that thing" and merge, and become the new Adam. Triggering a third shock is also an option.
Then, my father's judgment may be that since it may also attract apostles, it is better to keep it together at the NERV headquarters for protection, or even give it directly to Ayanami, the apostle fusion who does not want to cause a third shock, so as to avoid unintended consequences.
"[—In short, the plan is like this, do you understand?]" At this time, Misato Katsuragi quickly finished the plan.
"Of course! I'm a genius!" Asuka pulled the handle, and the second machine jumped out.
The plan was simple, pretending to be led away by the illusion created by the sixth apostle, and then when it attacked the flagship, retracted the cable connecting the body at high speed, and dragged the second machine back like a fish.
The so-called angler must first be caught as a fish.
But, the problem is... Ikari Shinji looks at the rapidly changing scenery outside, as long as the "sea" is still there, the sixth apostle is invincible, and it may evade the attack in some unbelievable way.
Good thing I'm here.
Ikari Shinji saw that the second plane fell to the far point, and the moment the sixth apostle surfaced, he took the card prepared in his hand.
Summons [The Giant Soldier of Rock].
Switch to defensive stance, then switch to attack stance.
Activate the magic card [Crescent Blade].
[Moon-Cut Blade: When a Rock-Type monster changes from defense position to attack position, destroy a field card on the field. 】
The huge rock giant suddenly stood up, raised its huge stone blade to the sky, and directly pierced the moon in the sky.
The next moment, the "blue sea" quickly ebbs, revealing the original red color of the ocean.
[Walled Whale] The additional attack and defense are restored to their original state.
"Bang!" The cable behind the No. 2 aircraft shrank suddenly, pulling the No. 2 aircraft into the air as if it were fishing.
Release the [Rock's Great Soldier] and summon the [Curse Dragon].
[Cursed Dragon, Attack: 2000, Defense: 1500]
The rock giant disappeared, and what followed was a flame dragon that was soaring in the air with the second machine and covered with a bone shell.
Activate the magic card [Burning Earth]
[Burning Earth: When there is a 'cursed dragon' on your side of the field, destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the field. 】
【Roar-! 】
The cursed dragon let out a furious roar, and spewed turbulent flames at the fortress whale, which was not shielded by the sea.
"Go to hell! You stinky fish!" The No. 2 aircraft turned around in the air and drew a knife, condescendingly jabbed at the sixth apostle who had just pounced on the aircraft carrier and had nowhere to hide.
Whoa, whoa.
The illusion of the city's whale turned into golden light spots and disappeared, and the fish-shaped sixth apostle was stabbed to death on the deck of the aircraft carrier by the wave of the second machine... The weapon that looked like a utility knife penetrated the AT force field.
"How is it, have you seen it? A related household? This is the strength of a genius pilot." Asuka turned to look at Shinji Ikari proudly.
"Did you win? Great, then I can replace this combat uniform, its chest is really tight." Ikari Shinji grabbed the neckline.
"Get out of my plunger! You big idiot!"
—
"Yo, are you Shinji-kun? I've heard your name even in Germany."
While the fleet staff were busy cleaning the battlefield, Ikari Shinji saw Kaji Ryoji.
It was a handsome man with black hair, black eyes, thick eyebrows and square face, with medium and long hair combed into a short ponytail, and a slight stubble. He only wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, showing a free and uninhibited temperament.
"Uh, hello." Ikari Shinji shook hands with Kaji Ryoji.
"—" At this moment, he felt Asuka's sharp eyes staring at their hands.
Are you angry that you didn't shake hands with her and gave her an over-the-shoulder fall?
After all, I only have 100 points of AT force field, plus the apostle sneak attack at that time, I thought it was you who were ready to do it.
"I heard that Misato is your guardian?" Kaji Ryoji let go and said with a smile, "How is it? Is she still sleeping that badly?"
"Ah? Should I live with the guardian?" Ikari Shinji turned to look at Misato Katsuragi.
"Ah? Can I live with the guardian?" Asuka turned to look at Kaji Ryoji.
"Hmph..." Katsuragi Miri laughed, "Come on, can you just name my bad sleep?"
"Oh? Can that be said?" Kaji Ryoji kept smiling.
"Damn it!" Katsuragi Miri said angrily: "I made an appointment with Ritsuko to confess to you and see who you would accept. As a result, you accepted everything on the front foot, and fled to Germany on the back foot!"
...you adults really know how to play.
