Chapter 2004: The City of Demonic Mist in the Dead World (19)

—2015.8.5—
The Garden of Gathering, the Literary Society.
"Another half cup of milk tea, thank you."
"OK, wait."
Ikari Shinji watched the very natural interaction between Asuka and Kirishima's real name, and silently sighed that people are really easy to adapt to the environment.
A talented pilot who just returned from Germany, a spy who was trained as a child, is serving as the head and maid of a literary society.
By the way, Ayanami is the president, and Ikari Shinji is the only member of the club without a post.
So what's the deal with a club that has a president and a group leader? And why did the maid become a job!
"It's very troublesome." Ayanami zero explained at the time.
Because it is very troublesome to change the president, and it is also very troublesome for Asuka to make trouble if she refuses to be subordinate to others, so I have given her a false position, right?
"Slacker, too slack!" Asuka finished drinking her tea and began to pat the table: "I have joined the literature club for a week, and I have participated in two club activities, but you all drink tea other than reading books, and you have not carried forward the literature club at all. Your actions and plans! If you can't do anything, then I'll do it!"
This genius driver? Remember what your job was?
"In order to deal with the apostles attack, we must maintain a state of war at all times. After receiving the alarm, the EVA must be activated within half an hour," Rei Ayanami replied: "Therefore, I will not be able to participate in the school trip to Hakone next month. ."
"Huh? I've never heard of such a thing! In Germany, you work two days a week and take five days off." Asuka widened her eyes and turned to Shinji Ikari: "You already knew that?"
In fact, according to Katsuragi Miri's schedule, the EVA driver can only take one day off a week. She doesn't think that as long as she doesn't attend classes, she takes a rest, right?
However, this also confirmed from the side that she failed to get the content of the itinerary from Kaji Ryoji.
"Even now, we only have two or three classes a week, don't we?" Shinji Ikari spread his hands and said, "Is there a possibility that other trainings are too simple, and you feel very idle when you complete them easily."
"Oh hehe, of course," Asuka raised her chin. "If you have any difficulty in training, you can come and ask me. If this lady is in a good mood, I may give you some pointers."
This is simply to write "Come and ask me" on the face.
Combined with this sentence, the general meaning of the long series of nagging she started just now should be-"I am very lonely in training, and I came to the literature club to play with you, but you are so boring, I want to think of a new way to play, You have to listen to me."
"Then," Ikari Shinji asked, "what do you think about developing a literary society?"
"Uh..." Asuka kept the expression "Currently Editing" written on her face for two seconds and struggled for two seconds: "Since there are so many books here, why not hold a book rental event? It can increase the popularity of the literary club."
"This is-"
"no,"
Ikari Shinji was thinking about the idea of ​​losing money and making a profit, and Ayanami spoke first:
"Ordinary people have a chance of going crazy after reading the books here."
"Huh? What book is so dangerous?" Asuka didn't seem to believe it, but she didn't dare to pick one out and read it.
"Dead Sea Documents."
Don't put such a dangerous thing on the shelf within reach!
"Go back," Ayanami stood up: "The seventh apostle has appeared."

NERV headquarters, intelligence analysis room.
The three boys and girls who hurried back to the underground fortress from the school were watching Misato Katsuragi analyze the unknown data group on the big screen.
"...Due to the battle with the fifth apostle, most of the defense system of the third new Tokyo city was destroyed, and only 26% of the defense system has been restored, so we will take the initiative to attack the position where the apostles landed this time. The current plan is—"
"Okay okay, Commander Misato, you just need to tell me where the apostles will be and when they will appear," Asuka waved: "Last time I couldn't show it at sea, this time I will show you what a 'genius is' driver'."
"The apostle is still at sea. It is expected to land at the mouth of the Suruga River in one hour. If there is no obstruction, it will reach the third new Tokyo city in three hours." Misato Katsuragi was interrupted and did not care, Turning to continue: "Because it is not our site, it will be difficult to explain if the damage is too large, so this time we will send the first EVA machine and the second machine to attack it, and the zero machine is still left behind, is there any problem? ?"
"Okay." Ayanami was the first to respond.
"No." Ikari Shinji also replied.
Although there is no problem with the reason, the point seems to be wrong, NERV, or his father is not someone who will worry about the loss of friendly forces.
He looked up at Ikari Gendo, who was sitting on the high podium with his hands folded in front of his mouth.
The focus should be on "not our territory", not "too much damage", and the reason for sending two EVAs is not "just in case", but "quick action", he doesn't want to put too much information on EVA exposed to the outside world.
"I have a problem!" Asuka shouted loudly: "It's enough for me to go by myself, Guan, others will only hold you back!"
Do you have the ability to tell the "related households" in front of your father?
"You can't be self-willed, Asuka," Kaji Ryoji said, "We are new here, and we have to follow the instructions of experienced seniors."
Although there is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, I always feel that it is a bit of a gun and a stick. No, Katsuragi Misato and Akagi Ritsuko all glared at him.
"Then, then listen to Mr. Kaji." Asuka's voice dropped instantly.
Is the status of guardian so useful? It seemed that Ayanami wouldn't object to the father's order, but Misato Katsuragi... as expected, it was divided.

An hour later, the mouth of the Suruga River, high in the sky.
[Kuri Kuri—] In the insertion plug of the first machine, the chestnut ball was shaking with Ikari Shinji's head.
You can fly but you are afraid of heights? Ikari Shinji raised his hand and pretended to scratch his head, patted the chestnut ball lightly, and then looked "out the window".
The means by which the first and second planes went to the battlefield this time was exactly what he had thought about before, and the means that should be used to transport the second plane back from Germany—airlift.
Two huge, obtuse-angled, flat black planes that looked like bats were hanging the first and second planes under their belly like missiles.
No, it's not like, after reaching the destination, they really want to throw these two EVAs like launching missiles. For this reason, they have also specially modified equipment that can move in the air for a short time and a small distance, so as to avoid landing irregularities. into the soil.
Who would be so stupid.
"[Really, I want to finish the first battle in Japan alone.]" Asuka complained on the communication channel.
Of course, it is the communication channel for the first phone alone. Although it should also be heard by the command, its importance is much lower, and it is likely to be ignored.
"If you insist, I can let you shoot first." Ikari Shinji said: "Our mission is to cover each other and attack alternately, so whoever covers first can also decide for himself? Commander Misato?"
"[Ah, of course,]" Misato Katsuragi's voice sounded completely unsurprising, and even had a bit of an idea. "[There is only one target, and if you start together, you may interfere with each other.]"
"[Thank you, I owe you once.]" Asuka's avatar winked at Shinji Ikari.
I think you will owe me many times in the future... Ikari Shinji looked down at the "Duel Plate" that had quietly emerged.
Obviously still in the air, but it has already entered the battle, and the command has not even sent out the news of the discovery of the apostle, which proves that the target either has stealth ability or extraordinary perception ability, neither of which is a good thing. .
"[Optical detection found the apostle!]"
"[Make an airdrop!]"
click, click—
The restraint of the black giant plane opened, and the two EVAs were air-dropped. At the same time, the six-minute built-in power supply began to count down.
"[Asuka! Shinji! If the apostles are difficult to deal with and cannot be resolved within 5 minutes, then retreat temporarily. Our trucks loaded with heavy-duty batteries and other support will arrive soon!]" Misato Katsuragi marked a convoy on the minimap alone. symbols of.
"【Haha! Five minutes is enough!】"
Following Asuka's confident voice, the second machine rolled to the ground and pulled out a machete-like weapon from behind.
Really unbelievable.
Ikari Shinji directed the first machine to roll for two weeks, landed on the ground with one hand and one knee, and drew a card by the way.
[Elemental Hero: Hot Girl, Attack: 1200, Defense: 800]
Ikari Shinji looked at the heroine in red on the card in his hand, and looked at the second machine painted in the same color.
Hmmm...haven't seen any phantoms on the second fuselage so far, if it looks like this, it's really different.
In short, let's recruit her first, and Ikari Shinji slaps the card on the duel plate.
Huhuhu - The second plane turned the weapon in his hand twice, pointing to the giant waves galloping from the sea.
Fire cover, right? good good.
Ikari Shinji commanded the No. 1 machine to take off the large EVA rifle that he was carrying, and aimed at the giant spray that rolled from the sea and began to cover and shoot.
After analyzing the wreckage of the fourth and fifth apostles, NERV's long-range weapons are finally not what they are. According to Ritsuko Akagi, they can neutralize the apostles' AT force field like EVA's AT force field. In theory, if There are enough bullets poured out in a unit of time to directly destroy the apostles—but there is no such thing as an apostle who just keeps being beaten after confirming that the enemy's weapon can destroy the AT force field.
hum - hum -
Under the water surface, the orange halo when the AT force field was hit or neutralized continued to flash, but the apostle always hid under the water and refused to show his face.
Isn't it another "City Sire Whale"?
Ikari Shinji looked at the time, and raised his hand to draw the card while directing the first machine to continue shooting.
[Explosive Blast: Can only be used when 'Elemental Hero, Hot Girl' is on the field, destroying all monster cards on both sides of the field. 】
both sides? all?
Asuka, as expected of you!
Boom!
Finally, when the water spray approached the shore, the apostle couldn't hold it any longer and flew out of the water.
Anyway, most of them are the weaklings such as the aquarium, the fish, and the sea dragon.
[Guardian of the Gate, Attack: 3750, Defense: 3400]
...what the is this? !
In Ikari Shinji's eyes, the apostle who threw himself ashore was a thick pillar with three layers, one in yellow, one in dark green and one in dark blue, and this "pillar" also had disproportionately long hands and long feet.
How should I put it, like a special monster movie, when the enemy is too powerful, the audience doesn't even bother to complain about how ugly it looks, like... um, forget it.
In short, although I don't know what gate this "Guardian of the Gate" is guarding, if the No. 2 machine is charged directly, there is no second possibility other than being slapped with a backhand.
"[Hahaha! Look at the tricks! You flying squirrel! Cut it both ways!]" As Asuka shouted loudly, the No. 2 machine rushed up with a big knife, and jumped directly near the apostle, looking like he was ready to take a hit. Heavy hack.
It turns out that the apostle's body looks like a flying squirrel - no, now is not the time to care about that.
Ikari Shinji hit "Explosive Shock" with his backhand.
If there are no other monsters on the field, the only thing that can be destroyed is the monster on the opposite side!
【bang—】
The "Guardian of the Door" was involved in a ring of flames centered on the hot girl, and it turned directly into a large golden light.
In the real scene revealed, the apostle with a flat body, hands and feet connected like flying squirrels has just been split in half by Asuka.
"Win—" Ikari Shinji said a word, and immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth.
【Curry Curry! 】The chestnut ball waved its small paws and pointed to the sky.
When Ikari Shinji looked up, he saw two bald heads.
It was the phantom of two bald-headed men in orange and green jackets, with vicious faces, with "Mi" and "Gong" printed on their foreheads.
call-
Before the golden light drifting from the "Guardian of the Door" disappeared, a cover card that suddenly stood up appeared in front of the two bald heads.
[Fusion Release: Return the fusion monster to the deck, and summon the monster's fusion materials to the field. 】
"Nani!?" Ikari Shinji didn't even know why he said that.
The scattered golden light re-condensed and turned into the three parts on the ugly pillar before. I have to say that they look much better after they are disassembled.
[Thunder God Sanga, Attack: 2600, Defense: 2200]
[Wind Demon God Shuga, Attack: 2400, Defense: 2200]
[Water Demon God Sgar, Attack: 2500, Defense: 2400]
Although the attack has been greatly reduced, this attack power is not something that the hot girl can deal with, even pulling out the skyscraper is useless.
Here we go back to the old question, what is the attack power of the EVA body itself?
"[Bastard, it's great to have two! Watch me sever! 】" Asuka was still shouting loudly.
…two?
Before Ikari Shinji could figure out what was going on, the second machine slashed at the Wind Demon God with a big sword.
If the attack power of the EVA body itself is 2500, it should not be asked—
At this moment, a green light flashed across the Wind Demon God.
[Wind Demon God Shuga: When attacked, the attacker's attack power becomes 0. 】
Big problem!
Shinji Ikari quickly drew cards and played them without looking at them—experience the power of unshuffled cards!
[Return of Explosive Heat: When there is a Hot Girl on the field, all other monsters are returned to the owner's hand. 】
Bang!
The first and second planes flew out at the same time.
"[Activate the emergency plan! Use N2 bombs to limit the apostles' movements!]"
