Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 347 Secrets, like desires

early morning.

sunny.

There was not a cloud to be seen in the sky.

After that so-called world disaster, the climate of the entire world underwent tremendous changes.

What is a global disaster?
This happened before Li Zhongren traveled through time.

About fifteen years ago.

A disaster that has engulfed the entire world.

Half of the population of Blue Planet disappeared.

At the same time, the climate of the entire world has changed.

Of course, Li Zhongren didn’t know these things in the past. He heard them from Katsuragi Misato.

After washing up, Li Zhongren came to the living room and saw a mess.

It's obvious that Misato Katsuragi is not someone who knows how to keep her household clean.

As for Li Zhongren, it is even more impossible for him to clean up other women. He is just a mysophobia, not a pervert.

Anyway, he has the privilege. In fact, he has made an appointment with the housekeeping staff to come and clean the room at a fixed time every day.

So, he ignored Misato Katsuragi who was sleeping soundly, and left on his own, driving the super sports car of unknown brand towards the school with the roar of the engine.

Third New Tokyo City, Municipal First Middle School, Grade 2 Class A.

This is where he is going.

"It seems that there is no impact at all. It's really scary."

After Li Zhongguo left, Katsuragi Misato, who was originally fast asleep, appeared at the window at some point, looked down quietly, and spoke lightly at Li Zhongren who was walking away.

Yes, as Li Zhongren’s guardian, in addition to overseeing his daily life, the most important thing is his mentality.

This is very important.

Very important.

The reason is also very simple.

To drive EVA, you need a synchronization rate, and 10% is the bottom line.

Above 10%, you can drive EVA.

If it falls by more than 10%, the ability to control EVA will be lost.

In addition to considering one's own willpower, soul strength, or closedness, this synchronization rate also requires one to consider one's mentality.

Generally speaking, if your mentality breaks down, your synchronization rate will drop drastically.

Yesterday, Li Zhongren personally beat the Water Angel beyond recognition, and the scene was filled with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Not to mention the final self-explosion, for ordinary people, that is definitely an unimaginable psychological trauma.

However, what is the result?

People, eat when they should, sleep when they should.

According to the monitoring of sensors in her room.

All night yesterday, his heart rate remained at around 60 beats per minute, without any fluctuations.

Stable and scary.

Also. Scary calm.

She had actually seen such a person before.

She is a captain. Don't think that she got this position by luck. She fought hard for it. She also has gunshot wounds on her body.

She had seen similar ones in the Special Forces.

Killing is like drinking water.

No matter if anyone is injured or dead, even if it's themselves, their heart rate won't fluctuate at all.

It's as if there is nothing in the world that they care about anymore.

There is no doubt that Shinji Ikari is such a person.

Fortunately.

His abilities can only be exerted through EVA.

Fortunately.

EVA is completely under the control of NEVR headquarters. For example, the energy source and the armor on EVA are both a protection and a restraint for EVA. Once any problems occur to EVA, these armors and internal controls will restrain it.

Of course, this is only a last resort.

At least now, she couldn't be more satisfied with Ikari Shinji.

powerful.

stable.

As for the matter between father and son, they, the workers, would not interfere. Of course, to be honest, it was a good thing to see Ikari Gendo kneeling down.

"Jingle Bell."

the phone is ringing.

Misato Katsuragi answered the phone.

From the other end, the voice of Ritsuko Akagi was heard.

As mentioned earlier, Ritsuko Akagi is the chief scientist of NEVR headquarters. She is responsible for the headquarters' central intelligent computer and almost all research work related to EVA.

Of course, she has another identity, she is Ikari Gendo's mistress.

Most people don't know this, but as Ritsuko Akagi's best friend, she happens not to be an ordinary person.

To be honest, she really couldn't understand what the charm of someone like Gendou Ikari was.

Ritsuko Akagi was his mistress.

Naoko Akagi was also his mistress.

Who is Naoko Akagi?
She is Ritsuko Akagi's mother.

So, sometimes when she thought about it, she really couldn't help but curse Akagi Ritsuko in her heart, why are you so cheap.

Of course, I just cursed in my heart.

After all, it's other people's business and none of your business.

"Good morning, Misato."

"Good morning."

"How's it going? Are you getting along well with your boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend? Get lost! You little brat."

"Haha, how about it, I mean, his surveillance data."

"Very good. Just two words: stable. That's what it means. I didn't even dream at night. My heart rate is stable at 63 beats per minute."

"call"

On the other side, Ritsuko Akagi took a few breaths.

"As expected of the commander's son."

"Hehe, he's not anymore."

"I'm talking about the physical aspect. As for the legal aspect, that's their father's and son's business."

On the other end of the phone, Ritsuko Akagi was painting her toenails. She glanced at the man next to her, Gendo Ikari, who was resting with his eyes closed. She didn't know whether the other person was asleep or not, but there was a high probability that he was awake. After all, he was a very cautious man.

"In short, don't worry about his mentality. In fact, according to my speculation, whether it is killing people or apostles, he will not have any psychological burden. He is the kind of elite in the special forces. You know that mentality."

"Okay, then I'm fine."

"Goodbye."

"beep."

Ritsuko Akagi hung up the phone.

"You are awake now."

"what."

Ikari Gendo opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"You really have severed ties with your son."

"He's just like me."

Ikari Gendo is not a talkative person. He has many secrets in his heart. However, human beings are like this. When they have secrets, they want to talk about them.

It's like desire.

He not only utilized Ritsuko Akagi's talents.

He even used her body to release his own desires.

And this woman had already been brainwashed by herself.

He is the kind of person who will never betray you.

So, sometimes, there are some things he can only talk to Ritsuko Akagi.

Just treat it as a way to vent.

"Calm, rational, and smart."

"He has even been pretending all these years. I suspect that he remembers everything since he was a child, including the fact that he saw his mother die in EVA Unit-01 with his own eyes. He just won't say it. He is waiting, waiting for an opportunity."

"Now, he has finally waited for it."

"Moreover, he proved his unshakable position with just one move."

"What do you mean?"

"In the fight against the Angels, our upper organization, SEELE, already knows Shinji's intelligence."

“They are very satisfied with this.”

"That's why I gave him the rank of major general and great privileges without hesitation." "An existence that can make AT stand independently."

"Do you know what this means?"

"Long-range attack on the apostles?"

"Yes, with the corresponding weapons, we can reduce the cost of war a lot, a lot."

"And his close combat ability is also incredibly powerful. The Central Dogma Computer shows that in the close combat against the Water Angel, he was using a kind of fault-like pressure, just like an adult beating a child."

"And, most importantly."

"He is controlled by NEVR."

"power supply?"

"Yes, his greatness is inseparable from NEVR, and even more so from SEELE."

"It's a knife that won't hurt the United Nations."

"understood."

"You and him are already equal."

"Yes."

Ikari Gendo nodded.

"He hates me, and I don't like him."

"Why don't you like him? He is your son."

"His mother's death was due to him."

"What's the meaning."

"In the future, probably."

"Wanting to give your son a bright future, you mistakenly put yourself in a dangerous situation?"

Akagi Ritsuko shrugged.

For Ikari Gendo, this was a painful thing, but for her, it was a happy thing. That day, she even happily laid a flower on her grave.

"Let's go back to the base. There are still many things to deal with."

"Humph"

Akagi Ritsuko snorted coldly. Damn man, why didn’t he have this attitude when he used me?
Empty school.

This was Li Zhongren's first reaction when he arrived at the city's No. 1 Middle School.

But, it's normal.

This is a war fortress city.

The appearance of the apostles yesterday showed the fangs of this place.

The students who live and study here are actually family members of the staff at the huge NEVR base.

So, for safety reasons, they evacuated overnight.

I heard that only his class was retained.

Because the parents of these teenagers have special positions, they cannot leave the city for the sake of confidentiality. Anyway, the city has perfect underground protection measures, so generally speaking, they will not have any problems.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ikari Shinji, and I'm a transfer student."

After a brief self-introduction, Li Zhongren found an empty seat and sat down.

At the same time, he also saw Rei Ayanami for the first time.

His hands were wrapped in bandages and his face was also half covered with bandages.

To be honest, if you are like this, you shouldn't come to school.

All I can say is that this person is physically disabled but mentally strong.

In fact, he was very curious about this girl because she was the undisputed number one heroine in the original novel.

Unfortunately, he only knew this much, and he knew nothing about the rest of the plot.

At this moment, the female protagonist is staring out the window in a daze.

"Okay, let's go to class."

This class is a history class.

The teacher was talking about the so-called world disaster.

It is known in history as the Second Impact.

It was said to be a meteorite impact and so on.

But, Li Zhongren, this is definitely not the case. It must be related to the apostles.

"Hey Shinji-kun."

During the break, a girl suddenly spoke to Shinji Ikari.

"what happened?"

"I heard that you are the driver of that machine?"

"what?"

"My dad works at NEVR, and he told me that, is that right?"

"Ah."

"Is such that."

Hearing this, Li Zhongren nodded. Without emphasizing it, he didn't care about keeping it confidential. Besides, they were all insiders, so there was no point in keeping it confidential.

"So it's real! Great! So cool!"

"Yeah, I saw the video, too. My mom got it. Shinji played with that big guy like a charm, beating it so hard that it couldn't fight back."

Suddenly, many girls surrounded Shinji Ikari. After all, girls of this age were in the season of love, worshipping heroes and yearning for the kind of novel-like situation. But Li Zhongren just thought it was noisy. He had no common topics with these girls. If he had to have a topic, he might have to go to jail. After all, it should be defined as a sexual crime in law.
"enough!"

Suddenly, a voice roared, interrupting the girls.

It was their classmate, Suzuki Touji.

A sturdy, dark-skinned young man who seems to have some Kansai ancestry.

"I'm asking you, Ikari Shinji!"

The young man walked up to Li Zhongren.

"Why don't you fight that monster right away?"

"My sister was seriously injured because of the appearance of that monster and is still in the hospital."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Li Zhongren looked at the young man in front of him in some confusion, and even wanted to laugh.

"do you know?"

Li Zhongren spoke.

"Have you read the American comic book Superman?"

"What do you want to say?"

Suzuki Touji narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You are acting just like some people in that cartoon. When danger occurs, instead of blaming the criminals, you blame the rescuers for coming too late."

"That's right, it's your responsibility!"

"No, my responsibility is only to eliminate the apostles. The rest is not my responsibility. But you, I think the behavior you blame me for still needs to be managed. After all, when people are full, they tend to have wild thoughts."

"Oh!"

Without warning.

Li Zhongren's punch hit Suzuki Touji's stomach.

"Oh!"

Suzuki Touji knelt on the ground and vomited.
"You see, if your stomach is empty and you're not bloated, you won't talk nonsense, right?"

For a moment, the whole class fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Zhongren quietly, and the girls who had been chattering before didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Principal's office.

The principal of this school was pinching his forehead helplessly.

Sitting opposite, Katsuragi Misato had a dry smile on her face.

"so."

"That's not necessary, Principal. He's a major general. Theoretically, if he killed Suzuki Touji, he would just be suppressed and no one would blame him. So, he just punched the boy and taught him a lesson. It's a blessing in disguise."

"Hey"

Hearing this, the principal sighed.

"Then, I'll let him be on his own tomorrow?"

"No, as an EVA pilot, it is important to be with other people in order to train his mind."

"Otherwise, why would we leave this class behind?"

"As for what you're worried about, don't worry, it won't happen."

"But, there is one thing I want to tell you, and I hope you can remember it."

"Captain Katsuragi, please speak."

"That is, don't judge this child by the character of an ordinary Japanese person."

"He won't tell you about seniors and their backs."

"In short, no matter what he does, we will back him up. Don't use these so-called rules to suppress him. It will only have the opposite effect."

"clear."
