EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 221: 219. Adam and Lilith and the full picture of the human completion plan
"It's you, Kaji."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Professor Dongyue."

Kaji Ryoji looked at the old man in front of him.

Plowing and building in the winter months.

The old man was handcuffed and tied to a chair. He had only simple water and food in the past few days. The people above had been trying to find out from him what Ikari Gendō had been doing behind his back. But Fuyutsuki Kozo was very stubborn. It would be disgraceful to use lynching on the old man. After all, Ikari Gendō was at least still obediently completing the task of eliminating all the apostles.

In the detention room, Kaji Ryoji strode over and helped to unlock the old man's handcuffs. He said in a deep voice:
"I asked the guards outside to take a break."

The winter moon is farming and the face is calm.

To be honest, after being caught here, he was mentally prepared that he would not be able to get out, and the subsequent plan could only be completed by Ikari alone. But now suddenly Ryoji Kaji came to rescue him. He was not a masochist, and he wanted to get out after being locked up here, but the old man still said:

"This could cost you your life."

"I just want to know the truth."

"Are you willing to sacrifice your life for the truth?" The old man looked at him with pity, as if he was looking at a dying man on the road of no return. "And even if you know it, what good will it do?"

"That's my own problem."

Kaji Ryoji smiled and said:

"But I think Professor Dongyue will definitely tell me."

Dongyue Gengzo had no objection.

After being held captive for so many days, he was a little unsteady when he stood up, so Kaji Ryoji helped him up. The two of them quickly left the detention room, and the guards outside were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were knocked unconscious or dead. Fuyutsuki Kozo was more inclined to the former.

Time is tight.

Dongyue Gengzao didn't care too much about these.

It was still noon outside, the sun was blazing, and he followed Kaji Ryoji to a remote warehouse. Of course, it was better to say that he was held hostage by Kaji Ryoji than to say that he was following him. But this was much better than the previous dark and indefinite detention.

Dongyue Kozou knew very well that Kaji Ryoji was different from those mentioned above.

The people above him would not lynch him, but the man in front of him might not. And most importantly, he would not tell anyone about Ikari Gendō's plan, but the Human Instrumentality Plan was not kept secret. He and Ikari Gendō were not on the same page as the people above him.

"Then, could you please tell me about the Human Instrumentality Project?"

Kaji Ryoji said with a smile.

This playboy seemed to like to laugh a lot, showing his white teeth when he laughed. In the past, his smile was always frivolous, like he was picking up women in a bar full of debauchery. But at this moment, the smile on this man's face was full of revenge, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the scorching sunlight reflected from them seemed to be burning with flames.

The old man could feel the firm determination in his eyes.

Dongyue Gengzao spoke slowly.

He explained the plan that the men above were trying to accomplish.

"The so-called Human Instrumentality Project is to transform humans, a group of imperfect organisms that have reached a dead end, into complete single organisms through artificial evolution. Artificial evolution is the Third Impact; complete single organisms are the original cellular state of humans."

The old man licked his lips thirstily. "In other words, after all the apostles are destroyed, the third impact will be triggered, causing humans all over the world to return to their original cellular state, and then give birth to new life again."

"It sounds like it's going to cause a third impact and destroy all of humanity," said Ryoji Kaji.

“…That’s not wrong.”

Fuyutsuki Kozo was silent.

The truth of this plan is no different from destroying all of humanity.

Is it that simple? Kaji Ryoji's face trembled, and he sneered. He really couldn't understand why those people above did this. What benefit would it bring to them to destroy all mankind? There is no way that someone in the world would do something that would harm others and not benefit themselves, right? However, the man still tried to remain calm and continued to ask,
"Then why do we need to eliminate all the apostles first?"

"That's of course because the apostles' vitality is too strong. They were able to survive the third impact and pose a threat to new life that follows. That's why we have to eliminate all the apostles before we can carry out this plan."

"What is the truth behind the Second Impact?"

When asked here.

The fire in Kaji Ryoji's eyes seemed to be about to burst out.

In the past, it was because of the second impact that his relatives and friends died. It was for the truth that he had come to this point with difficulty over the years. Now that he had stepped into the threshold of the truth, he was just waiting for the old man in front of him to completely open the door. He just didn't know what kind of darkness was hidden behind the door.

"Fifteen years ago, we humans set up a scientific research station in Antarctica and conducted an experiment while studying the first apostle Adam." Fuyutsuki Kozo said in a low voice.

"What experiment?"

"It is not false that the contact between the Apostles and the First Apostle Adam will trigger a new shock. The purpose of that experiment was to restore Adam to an embryo and seal him away, to prevent the Apostles from causing a second shock when they meet him."

"……reduction?"

"Well, add human genes." "Did it succeed?" Kaji Ryoji sneered.

“…successful and failed.”

Fuyutsuki Kozo said calmly,
"According to later investigations of the experiment, it was discovered that after the human gene was injected, the First Apostle Adam could not be restored due to the seal of the Spear of Longinus. So the experimenters at the time pulled out the Spear of Longinus that was inserted into Adam's chest, but they did not expect that this would directly lead to Adam's awakening. Everyone panicked and wanted to insert the spear back to suppress his awakening."

"The result was naturally ineffective. And due to the artificial contact between Adam's genes and human genes, an anti-AT force field beyond the expected value was released."

"It eventually led to Adam waking up and going berserk, and the second impact occurred."

Is this the whole truth?
I'm afraid most people in the world really believe that fifteen years ago, a meteorite from outer space fell on the Antarctic continent and caused the impact?
After suddenly learning this, Ryoji Kaji did not feel much satisfaction.

The so-called second impact was actually just an experiment. So many people died in the world because of the second impact, all because of this experiment to "avoid the second impact". It has to be said that there is a sense of irony in the joke of hell. There is not even a culprit. All the participants in the experiment have been left on the Antarctic continent forever.

Are you going to cause trouble for the dead?

Is the truth he has been pursuing such an ironic thing? Kaji Ryoji suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, and he asked with a dull look:

"What's the reason for Adam's rampage?"

"Humanity."

"Humanity?"

"The apostles are the descendants of Adam, and we humans are the descendants of Lilith. Both sides are enemies to the death, and only one side can survive on this planet. After Adam woke up, he found that humans lived on this planet. In order to destroy us humans, he chose to trigger the impact."

"Lilith... is that the giant in the Central Dogma District?"

"Yes." Fuyutsuki Kozo added: "Lilith is the origin of our human race. If the Third Impact really happens, all humans in the world will return to Lilith's body."

Kaji Ryoji understood everything.

And that experiment was indeed as the old man said, it succeeded and failed. The failure was that it triggered the second impact, and the success... naturally, Adam's remains were successfully restored into an embryo. The reason why Kaji Ryoji knew this was because he had handled Adam's embryo.

Or.

He had handed it to Commander Ikari himself.

On the first day of arriving at the Japanese headquarters, probably before the Sixth Angel invaded the Third New Tokyo City, Ryoji Kaji, who was a spy, brought Adam's embryo and gave it to Commander Ikari as a gift. This is also the reason why he was able to operate in Japan for so long, and very few people knew this secret.

"So, what about becoming a god?"

he asked next.

The information the old man had given did not include the existence of God.

"When Adam and Lilith combine and go through a specific ritual, they will create God."

“…Unit-01?”

"You are right. Unit-0 and Unit-2 both originated from Adam, but Unit-01 originated from Lilith. Unit-01 now only needs a ceremony to become a god, and the moment it becomes a god will be the moment of the Third Impact."

of course.

Before that, there is still the Spear of Longinus stuck in Lilith's body that needs to be dealt with.

Dongyue Gengzao felt a little dry in the mouth.

The old man's forehead was covered with sweat. He hadn't had any water today. Being held hostage by Kaji Ryoji and having so many words said to him was too harsh for an old man. But the man in front of him didn't care whether he drank water or not. He was thinking alone, even his smile was restrained. It seemed that Kaji Ryoji needed some time to digest all these things that he suddenly learned.

They are clearly in a state of hostility to the point of death, but can the combination of the two create a God?

Kaji Ryoji was a little confused.

He also asked several key questions about Dongyue’s farming.

Kaji Ryoji kept his promise and let the old man leave.

Looking at the back of Fuyutsuki Kozo staggering away, he thought that those people should soon find out his location. Kaji Ryoji looked at the sun in the sky, and the scorching sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes. He let Vice Commander Fuyutsuki go and learned about the information about the Human Instrumentality Project. Those people will definitely not let him go. This should be the last leisurely time for him.

But strangely, he didn't have any regrets in his heart.

Ryoji Kaji picked up the mobile phone.

He did not rush to call Shinji Ikari, but recorded a message for Misato Katsuragi first.

"Hey, Katsuragi."

He said with a relieved laugh,

"it's me……"
