EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 20. It’s time to meet Suzuhara Sakura

Shinji Ikari is observing the Angel's weaknesses.

have to say.

The core of this guy was too obvious. The red gem hanging under the white eyes, which was exactly the same as the last apostle's, must be its weakness. But the difficulty lies in how to break through the defense of the two tentacles, approach the core and destroy it, and finally successfully leave in the possible self-destruction of the apostle.

Yes.

He felt that this guy would also explode.

The best way is to avoid being attacked by the tentacles, but their waving movements are so flexible that it is impossible to do so.

I don't know what will happen to Unit-01's body when it is attacked by the tentacles...will it be cut in half?

He was going to test the power of his left hand.

If he could sacrifice a part of his body, confine the two tentacles to a certain area, and then use his other hand to pull out the high-vibration particle knife on his body, perhaps he could end the battle with just one strike.

That's right.

Exchanging injury for injury.

It’s the same routine as last time.

However, when he stretched out his hand to test, Shinji Ikari hesitated slightly.

Previously, he thought that Unit-01 was a giant humanoid mecha that was purely controlled by humans or artificial intelligence, and that what was lost were just replaceable mechanical parts. As a pilot, there was nothing to feel sad about, just like the classic saying "A pilot is more valuable than an airplane."

But now in Unit-01.

There exists something similar to biological consciousness.

Shinji Ikari knew that this act of exchanging injuries for injuries might cause it to feel the same pain as he did. Moreover, it had glanced at him before, and the meaning in its eyes made him have such an inexplicable thought. His heart suddenly softened a little, after all, this guy had taken the explosion attack for him last time.

But the apostles were about to attack, leaving him no time to hesitate.

Shinji Ikari said "sorry" in his heart.

He dodged past.

Then, with quick eyes and hands, he used his left hand to grab a tentacle that was waving towards him.

In an instant, he was prepared to have the entire left hand of Unit-01 cut off. After all, the power of the tentacle was so amazing that he could only gamble on the hardness of Unit-01.

"Wealth is found in danger!"

All the crazy gamblers will say this wise saying. They will boldly place their chips on the gambling table and wait for the dealer's decision.

Fortunately, Shinji Ikari made the right bet.

The tentacle slid across the left hand of the machine, but encountered resistance.

It was not as sharp as the one used to cut steel and cement, but it made a sizzling sound, which reminded people of the steaming barbecue on the iron plate, and they couldn't make any progress.

It hurts.

It feels like being cut back and forth by a blunt knife.

He endured the pain and glanced at the left hand of the machine.

When we fought with the dark green apostle before, its attacks were mostly puncture wounds, and we couldn't observe the internal structure of Unit-01 very well.

This apostle was different. Its cutting attack broke through the outer mecha, allowing him to observe more closely that the inside of EVA's injured body was indeed not a mechanical structure as he had thought a long time ago, but a muscle fiber structure similar to flesh and blood.

It is indeed alive.

This just confirmed his guess again.

So, if there is a living organism inside, what is the use of this purple-green mecha on the outside of Unit-01?
Is it just a restraint used to limit its power?

Shinji Ikari couldn't help but think of his first internship in the executive department a long time ago. At that time, he and his predecessors were hunting down a half-blood criminal who was doing blood experiments. In the laboratory full of tearing and blood, they saw the test subjects bound by straitjackets. Because of the runaway blood in their bodies, they had been transformed into low-level Deadpools.

"End their suffering."

His senior brother gave him a piece of advice, "Sometimes you have to learn to be cruel, and you also have to learn to accept sacrifice."

The next moment, Unit-01 leaped up with all its strength!

The machine's two hands each grabbed a tentacle.

Subsequently.

Pulling over another tentacle with his right hand, Unit-01's left hand clenched both tentacles together, as if it was holding two long snakes of burning lava. It was as if boiling water was poured directly onto the palm of his hand, causing a burning and painful sensation. Shinji Ikari immediately felt that the nerves in his left hand were almost in so much pain that they were about to lose connection.

However, as long as you can endure this pain, you can hold on.

Never let go.

The injuries of the EVA body will only be reflected mentally. As long as the injuries are not too fatal, for the driver, it is just a period of mental phantom pain afterwards. The driver can even suppress the body's protection mechanism to a certain extent and withstand more severe pain.

He just needed to end the fight quickly.

If it gets off Unit-01, the neural empathy connection will end and it itself will not suffer any further injuries.

The next second, Shinji Ikari pulled out the particle knife mounted on the machine with his still movable right hand and launched a fierce attack, stabbing straight at the red core.

There are no obstacles this time!

The apostle's tentacles kept struggling in the body's left hand, but were unable to break free. Seeing the particle knife coming, even with only the instinct of a wild beast, it felt something was wrong.

But there is a huge gap between the particle knife and the core!

The fatal attack of Unit-01 was as smooth as licking the milk cap after drinking yogurt, leaving no room for faults.

The highly oscillating particle knife hit the red core.

The apostle stopped all movements.

Shinji Ikari did not dare to be careless, he immediately prepared to retreat. As long as the core showed any signs of self-destruction, he would immediately retreat and open the AT force field.

He has already suffered a loss once.

The same move will not work on you a second time.

But this time.

There was loud cheering in the communication channel.

This meant that the energy source of the Angel had been completely destroyed. Ikari Shinji breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed completely, waiting for the cockpit to be discharged from EVA's body in order to end the neural empathy.

It really hurts.

Unit-01.

He lay in the driver's seat, looking at the blue sky from the perspective of Unit-01.

But we won again.

At this moment, all perspectives were dark. Shinji Ikari heard the sound of machines working hard. He knew that it was the cockpit being discharged. The pain in his body no longer continued, and instead a phantom limb pain came.

He walked out of the cockpit, with Unit-01 still in motion and the remains of the Angel behind him.

Shinji Ikari turned his head and looked at Unit-01.

He vaguely felt that the other person was also looking at him.

Standing on the ground, before the medical staff arrived, Ikari Shinji thought for a moment and said to it with determination, "Although I don't know what you are, I will come to see you often in the future."

Made such a guarantee.

He was soon taken to the hospital under his escort.

Having learned from the last lesson, this time no one thought that Shinji Ikari was fine when they saw him standing. The ambulance drove to the hospital in a hurry. Various doctors and nurses touched him all over and asked for his reaction. Some even wanted to take off his pants, as if at this moment he was not a hero who defeated the apostles, but a guinea pig who urgently needed to be experimented with.

Complete physical examination.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Shinji Ikari planned to continue his original itinerary for the day.

Just in the hospital.

I just finished fighting the apostles today, so there is no way I can have any training.

He really had to go and see the bad boy's sister, Suzuhara Sakura, as soon as possible. If he delayed any longer, the little sister who was almost recovering from her injuries might have to be discharged from the hospital.

correct.

And there's Rei Ayanami.

I don’t know where she went, and there has been no news since then.

There is still some food left to eat!

Thanks for the monthly ticket from Xuanchen. This is the second monthly ticket I have received. I am so happy =-=
It seems that no one has made any movement in the battles in these two chapters. I am so scared. Are the battle scenes I wrote too bad... or maybe everyone doesn’t like to watch such plots. Otherwise, the subsequent battles of the apostles should be omitted as much as possible... Should I focus more on daily life?
