EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 39 38. Hey, I accidentally broke the earth

he knows?
he does not know?

Perhaps I was too obvious, Ritsuko Akagi sighed in her heart.

but.

You still have to refuse it.

"I may not be free, Shinji-kun." The blonde beauty didn't even blink, and put the coffee cup on the table. "I'm very busy recently, and I have an important meeting to attend soon. Misato is a very idle person, so why don't you ask her to do this."

Use no time to refuse.

Instead of not wanting to go?
Ikari Shinji nodded thoughtfully, "Is that so? Then I'll trouble Miss Misato."

"Speaking of this, Shinji-kun..." As if she remembered something, she entered some data on the computer in a white coat, and after watching the program on the screen run, she said, "During the meeting, I will be away, so you will have a long vacation and don't have to train."

"Do you have to go for so long?"

"Yes, because it is a very troublesome meeting. If it is not handled properly, future funding may be cut in half." There seemed to be a deep meaning in Ritsuko Akagi's words.

This……

It is unbearable.

It's like cutting your monthly allowance in half. Who can tolerate such an outrageous thing? It's impossible to live frugally after being used to spending lavishly. Ikari Shinji didn't care what the topic of the meeting was, and just shouted "Come on" in his heart.

The atmosphere is pretty good right now.

At this time.

He remembered his previous determination to explore the secrets of the underground city, and the three apostles seemed to have come for something.

Let's try to see if we can find some clues from Ms. Ritsuko first.

"By the way, Ms. Ritsuko, I have a question. Is there anything underground in the headquarters? I feel like these apostles are all very strange."

"Is that so? Are you curious about this?"

She changed her sitting position in a white coat and sat more comfortably. After hearing Shinji Ikari's question, she narrowed her eyes and looked more serious.
"You should know what happened fifteen years ago, right?"

"Antarctic meteorite?"

"This is the official statement,"

Akagi Ritsuko took a sip of coffee and said with emotion,

"Fifteen years ago, a meteorite from outer space landed on the Antarctic continent, melting the entire continent and causing a global disaster. The weather has since become extreme, but in fact, the truth is not like that. In fact -"

"Humanity discovered the first humanoid apostles in Antarctica, but an unexplained explosion occurred during the investigation."

survey?

I'm afraid it's just an experiment, Shinji Ikari complained silently in his heart.

He summed it up.

The first apostles were discovered by humans in Antarctica.

This thing is not normal at first glance, is it an alien creature? Why don't we do some experiments on it, let's cut a slice first. During the research, one of the experiments went wrong.

The Apostle exploded.

Antarctica is melting.

"We call it the First Apostle - Adam."

"So where did it go?"

There was no EVA fifteen years ago. As long as the red core is not destroyed, the angels are immortal and can recover from injuries. Even after such a violent explosion, the angel code-named Adam should still be alive - Shinji Ikari has already guessed the result.

Ritsuko Akagi lowered her head and looked at her feet with obvious meaning, without saying anything.

There is an underground city.

As expected, there is an apostle buried under the headquarters. The whole Tokyo City is like a city located on an active volcano. A small boat in the sea is in danger of capsizing at any time. What kind of Tokyo City Equipment Department are you? You put a bomb under your home and have to worry about the explosion when you sleep at night. So many apostles attacked the Third New Tokyo City just to find it.

Last time it blew up Antarctica.

The sinking of the entire Asian continent is not a problem this time. As for the remaining humans, how will they face the more extreme environment on Earth?

He had a spontaneous idea.
"Can't we hide it or destroy it completely?"

As soon as he asked this question, Ikari Shinji knew the answer. Perhaps there was an inexplicable connection between the apostles, just like the relationship between dragons and their offspring. Humans still have many unsolved mysteries, and the connection between the apostles' bloodlines must have many mysteries. As expected.

Akagi Ritsuko said,
“It’s not like there were no results in those days when we were doing research.”

"At least the researchers at that time knew that if an apostle came into contact with Adam, it would cause a huge disaster, so one experiment was to shrink it and hide it, cutting off the connection with other apostles. But unfortunately, it failed, and even caused this disaster that shocked the whole world. As for destroying it, to be honest, it is impossible."

Shinji Ikari understood everything.

In other words.

After discovering in experiments that this thing could very well destroy the world.

A: We cannot ignore its value just because it's dangerous. Let's hide it where the apostles can't find it. Hehehe.

B: Great, great, I really like it, but it’s so big that it’s hard to hide, right?

A: That's stupid. Just make it smaller.

Adam: Hey, I accidentally broke the Earth.

He shook his head to banish the little drama from his mind.

But even so.

Find a secluded place.

Why not place the Apostle Adam in Tokyo? There are so many uninhabited areas on Earth, why place him in a densely populated metropolis?
Shinji Ikari was puzzled.

The blonde beauty with teardrop mole over there continued talking while drinking coffee to refresh herself.

"The angel you and Asuka eliminated last time was the fifth one we have discovered so far. The code name of the next angel is the sixth angel."

fifth?

Shinji Ikari remembered that he had destroyed three angels so far, and including the one underground, there were only four in total.

Why is there a missing apostle in the middle?

Could it be that he had killed one before he came to Tokyo City?
"Ah, Misato is here."

Before he could think about it, Ritsuko Akagi pointed to the door.

Misato Katsuragi walked in here in a heroic manner. Compared with the blonde beauty who was in a bad mood due to staying up late, she looked the same as before. It was really enviable that she still had such lively energy at this age. Staying up late was indeed the enemy.

After entering here, she looked around.

"What's wrong? You seem to have something to ask me?"

Seeing that both of them were looking over here, the female captain noticed their gazes very keenly. Since she didn't need to work overtime, she walked over with a cheerful look on her face and spoke casually.

Shinji Ikari explained the three-party talks.

Misato Katsuragi nodded.

"That's fine, leave it to me." She clapped her hands to indicate that it was no big deal, and then she complained unconsciously, "I still have to help Rei and Asuka solve this matter, plus the trouble you caused..."

After realizing that she had said something that might be misunderstood, the female captain quickly explained,

"Ah, I don't mean the interview."

Thinking of what Asuka said before boarding the plane, she felt a headache. That child was not capable of living alone. After living together for so long, they would know each other. That was why Katsuragi Misato was worried. Never mind. Asuka must have just been angry for a while.

Huh?
As if he had done something bad.

Shinji Ikari thought to himself that he had not done anything recently and he had no idea why Miss Misato thought that he was causing her trouble. This was just a groundless accusation.

"Asuka?" he asked politely, "How long will she be away for?"

"Her."

Katsuragi Misato sighed.

"She said she's on leave until next week, but if things go well, she should be back this weekend. You'll be able to see her next Monday."
