Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 344 You are also a person who knows how to be flattered
"Ha, you are also a person who knows how to flatter."

Looking at Ikari Gendō who knelt down, Li Zhongren laughed out loud, feeling an endless joy in his heart. He knew that this joy did not come from himself, but from the obsession left in his body by his predecessor.

From his memory, he knew that this young boy named Ikari Shinji had a very twisted attitude towards his father.

On the one hand, he hated his father.

On the one hand, he longed for his father's approval.

How should I put it? This is the mentality of the Japanese. They have a tradition of subordinates rebelling against their superiors, and they also have absolute obedience to their superiors.

Of course, as a Chinese, he did not have these thoughts in his mind. After all, when it comes to resisting monarchy and patriarchy, no one in the world can compare with the Chinese.

Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?
Cut off the bones and return them to the father, cut off the flesh and return them to the mother.

Therefore, when he did these things, although his previous incarnation had never dared to think about it, he still enjoyed it and burned himself out. From now on, the ownership of this body will completely belong to him.

"I'm a man of my words. I will help you drive this big guy as an employee here. Of course, if I can come back alive later, remember to pay me a salary."

Ikari Gendō looked at Li Zhongren, not knowing what he was thinking.

He has been deliberately cultivating his son's character all along, because according to research, only people with such a closed personality are qualified to drive EVA. However, things seem to have gone wrong. His son is so strong and arrogant. From what he sees, he can't see any awe for his father or for this world.

For a moment, he even thought he was looking at a Chinese person.

He had only seen similar emotions in the eyes of some Chinese people.
However, it doesn't matter. He is just a part of his plan. To him, he has always been a tool as long as he can achieve his ultimate goal.

In a sense, severing the father-son relationship was a relief for him.

"Okay, Akagi Ritsuko, disinfect him and change into a diving suit. Complete the preparations within two minutes."

"Yes!"

Following Ikari Gendō's order, the entire secret base began to operate at an accelerated pace.

Under the leadership of Ritsuko Akagi, a group of people in white coats walked out from both sides of the iron gate. They stripped Li Zhongren of his clothes, signaled him to empty his urine, disinfected his body, and then put on a very unique piece of clothing for him, which was the necessary clothing for driving EVA into battle. In the words of Ritsuko Akagi, this piece of clothing could increase his connection with EVA.

"everything's ready."

"Cockpit insertion complete."

“Starting first connection.”

Under the guidance of Ritsuko Akagi, Li Zhongren walked into a cylindrical cockpit. The structure inside was similar to the interior of the mecha in old science fiction novels and comics, but it was also somewhat different, and there were almost no control keys because this big guy was mainly driven by his thinking.

Simply put, when the system is activated, all his perceptions, hearing, vision, touch, and so on, will be transferred to the big guy, and he will perceive the world from the perspective of this big guy.

"Gululu~~"

A moment later, a stream of light yellow viscous liquid surged up from under his feet and submerged him in an instant.

"No need to be nervous."

The voice of Ritsuko Akagi, the big-breasted blonde beauty, came from the headset.

"This is a special liquid that can provide a much higher oxygen concentration and exchange rate than air."

"call"

Wearing a mask, Li Zhongren took a deep breath. The sticky liquid passed through the filter device in his mouth and nose and entered his lungs. The cool feeling was indeed magical, but also a bit disgusting.
“Can I take off my mask?”

As Li Zhongren was thinking, the sound came out. Here, he couldn't make any sound, but he could communicate with the outside world through concentration and his own thoughts.

"No, this mask is designed to filter out bacteria and other things on your body surface that can enter your lungs through the mucus. If you take it off, you will easily get a bacterial lung infection."

"Ok."

"Then let's continue."

Ritsuko Akagi stood in front of the screen, looked at a series of parameters, and began to give orders.

"Establish connection with EVA, thinking mode is Japanese."

"Completed."

"Internal voltage release, maintaining pulse fluctuations"

"Release completed."

"System self-check begins."

"Self-check completed"

"Shinji, get ready. We are about to set off. You only need to remember one thing. When we open the connection channel, you will be the EVA."

"receive."

"Attention all units, prepare, move!"

"Remove the first bolt!"

"Confirm cancellation!"

"The umbilical bridge starts moving!"

"Remove the second bolt!"

Following a series of operations, the huge robot was slowly sent to the launch site.

Finally, the catapult under your feet starts.

Li Zhongren felt a sudden acceleration pressing on him, and with a rumbling sound, he was catapulted from a tunnel directly to the surface.

"Launch successful, link switch turned on."

"Opening completed."

In an instant, Li Zhongren felt that his perspective had changed directly. The surrounding cities seemed like toys in his eyes. He knew that he was looking at the world from the perspective of EVA.

"Well, Shinji, how do you feel?"

"pretty good."

Li Zhongren shook his neck, and EVA's neck also moved a few times.

"How's the synchronization rate?"

"Doctor, this is incredible."

The staff nearby were a little surprised.

"what happened?"

"The synchronization rate is 99 percent."

"What??"

At this moment, Ritsuko Akagi was also stunned.

Because since the advent of EVA, the one with the highest synchronization rate is Germany's Asuka, with over 70%, and the second is Ayanami Rei, with over 50%. The synchronization rate of this young boy who is driving EVA for the first time has reached 99%.

What is this concept?
This means that there will be almost no delay in his control of EVA. Whatever actions he can make as a human, EVA can also make. Even actions that humans cannot make with their own weak bodies can still be made by relying on the powerful flesh and blood strength of EVA.

"Could it be that he has actually undergone genetic engineering?" At this moment, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but look elsewhere, which was the commander's observation room.

You know, the coming of the apostles was a fact that had long been known through the Dead Sea Scrolls.

But there was no record of such a thing. Rei Ayanami was injured, and the people from Germany couldn't come over. Once Shinji Ikari could not control EVA, did it mean that they would all die?

Now it seems that everything is under the commander's control. This young man named Ikari Shinji has definitely undergone genetic engineering, so he is born with a 99% synchronization rate, which is why the commander can be so calm.

"Don't look at me. I don't know why this happened."

Gendo Ikari glanced at Ritsuko Akagi who was looking at him. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually full of surprise in his heart.

He dared to let Shinji Ikari come to drive the EVA, so he must have his own trump card.

The trump card is that this EVA was built by his wife. Due to some accidents, his wife died in the machine, or was directly dissolved. According to his speculation and calculations, some traces of his wife should be left in this machine. Therefore, when she senses the appearance of his son, she will activate this part. In other words, even if Shinji Ikari cannot defeat the apostles outside, his wife will take over the machine and defeat the apostles. Letting his son come here is just a cover-up.

However, what was happening now was indeed beyond his understanding.

It is incredible that my son was born with a 99% synchronization rate.

Normally, according to their research, the more autistic, closed, or unsociable a person is, the easier it is for them to drive an EVA.

After all, the so-called EVA is actually a weapon made from the DNA obtained from the original apostles.

This is a bit vague.

In fact, the so-called apostles, to put it bluntly, are a kind of alien life form.

Many, many, many, many years ago, these alien life forms landed on Earth. Humans are actually the descendants of these alien life forms, and both have almost the same DNA.

However, the difference is.

The apostles, that is, the original alien life forms, possessed incomparably strong bodies and powerful souls.

Their powerful bodies are reflected in the fact that they can directly draw spiritual energy from the void to maintain their own power, without the need to replenish so-called energy from nature.

The powerful soul is manifested in something similar to the telekinesis in novels. They named it AT stance, a magical barrier that can block all external attacks. This is why human weapons cannot harm the apostles, because of this seemingly thin stance.

In order to break it, only a force field of the same level can do it.

Humans also have AT positions, but because there are too many people, or because humans are defective products when they are born, the AT position of humans can only maintain the independence of the soul, that is, consciousness, and nothing more. It does not have any external defense capabilities.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of this force field that humans can drive EVA.

So, the topic returned to the beginning.

Why can only autistic people drive EVA?
Because only when one is sufficiently self-enclosed can one's AT stance be strong enough, strong enough to resonate with EVA's AT stance and ultimately turn it into one's own use.

But now, the facts have overturned their previous verification.

His son is neither cowardly nor introverted, and is even quite strong and arrogant.

To use the words of the Eastern countries to describe it is like a mountain collapsing in front of you without changing color.

It is this kind of person who can synchronize with EVA99%
Moreover, he could be sure that the traces left by his wife had not been activated, but were in a dormant or observing state.

This is entirely his own ability.

"Interesting, so, what exactly happened to my son?"

Ikari Gendo was thinking about it while checking his son's information. The result was that everything was normal.

"Humans are indeed the most complex and amazing creatures in the world."

After a long moment, Ikari Gendo sighed.

Things have come to this, just like he said, it doesn't matter anymore, as long as he is a qualified tool and letting herself kneel down for him is fine.

"Shinji, try to move."

"it is good."

After receiving the order from Ritsuko Akagi, Li Zhongren began to try to move his hands and feet.

The result is four words.

Like an arm driving.

At this moment, he is EVA and EVA is him.

"Ding"

Mission 'Become an EVA pilot' mission, completed.

Obtained reward, Psychic Breathing Technique.

Reward description: Psychic breathing technique, you can use the EVA body to breathe in psychic energy and store it in the human body in a special compressed way. That is, the human body is the Dantian of the EVA. The compressed energy can be used to drive the EVA or to strengthen one's own body.

"Hey, this is what I've been waiting for."

After receiving the reward, Li Zhongren had an extra memory in his mind, which was as familiar as eating and drinking.

Along with this memory, the EVA body slightly opened its mouth and slowly began to breathe.

Yes, EVA bodies can breathe, and they even have complete body structures. In addition to the psychic energy in the void, many real substances also contain psychic energy, but humans cannot use it directly. However, the apostles can obtain psychic energy by devouring these things, thereby maintaining their own operations and AT stance.

"call"

"what"

Accompanied by Li Zhongren's breathing.

A large amount of psychic energy was silently devoured and flowed into his own body. During the entire process, the monitoring system of NEVR headquarters could not detect it, because human technology was unable to directly observe psychic energy, and even to drive EVA, they could only use the backward method of electricity.

In fact, there is a long cable behind each EVA body to maintain power supply. Once the cable is damaged, the body can only last about five minutes at most.

That's why Li Zhongren was happy that he had acquired this ability.

With it, it means that you can control the EVA body without restrictions, without being controlled by others, and even if NEVR breaks up, there will be no problem.

Of course, not now.

Although the speed at which EVA absorbs and releases spiritual energy is incredibly fast, and even as long as he maintains his breathing method, he can ensure the operation of the body, but it is only operation. If you want to unleash the true power of EVA, such as unlimited use of regeneration ability, or AT stance, relying solely on breathing method is not enough.

In other words, the strength of his own 'Dantian' is still far from enough.

He needs a certain amount of time to strengthen himself, and only after reaching a certain level can he use EVA without restraint.

And, another point, he can't stay in EVA for 24 hours, he has to come out sometime.

He also needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

So, in the final analysis, EVA is more like a platform, a personal amplifier for him.

At this stage, there is no need for him to break up with NEVR. The best choice is to use their platform to secretly strengthen himself.

Not to mention, he had basically no understanding of this world. He had no idea what the Apostles were or why they were attacking this base. And if he fell out with NEVR, it would be almost impossible for him to find out these things.
