Zongman: Simultaneously travel through time and start a one-person chat group

"..."

"Inducing underage drinking..."

When Misato Katsuragi snatched the beer can from Rei Ayanami, she was stunned for a moment.

The can is very light and basically has nothing left.

"I don't think Ayanami Rei is the type who drinks everything in one gulp... No, that's not right..."

Misato Katsuragi looked at the table full of beer cans. What did this mean?

This means that what Ayanami Rei just drank was not the can that Qiao Qiao had just opened, but the leftovers from Qiao Qiao. However, Ayanami's movements were too natural and others did not realize this at all.

What does this mean?

Misato Katsuragi's face froze.

"Hashi-kun didn't lie." When Misato Katsuragi heard Rei Ayanami's words with a hint of defending Qiao Qiao, her face became even stiffer.

"It's obvious that I have known you longer than Rei, and Rei should have known me longer than you... but that talkative Rei is closer to Qiao Qiao than me..." The inexplicable feeling of loss in her heart made Misato Katsuragi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"Hey, are you trying to compete with a little girl?" Qiao Qiao asked tentatively.

"Trying to compete with a young girl? Do you mean I'm an old woman? I'm still in my youth and beauty. If I just walk down the street, several people will ask for my phone number."

Misato Katsuragi said, "Are you proud of attracting young girls? It's not a secret anyway, so I'll tell you. Next, I'm going to find a young man, a real young master. What do you think?"

"Are you planning to switch jobs and become a nanny?"

Qiao Qiao's question made Katsuragi Misato feel that it was really boring. She had originally wanted to stimulate the other person's nerves.

After all, Misato Katsuragi knew that she was the one who knew what Qiao Qiao was like.

"…Tsk, that's really boring. The boy I'm picking up is Commander Ikari's only son."

"Ikari Shinji?"

"you know?"

"I've met him once." In fact, he hadn't seen him before, but Qiao Qiao knew very well that he was the protagonist.

What is more important to Qiao Qiao is that Shinji Ikari is coming to the third New Tokyo City, which means that the apostles are finally about to appear.

"Do you have any plans recently?" Qiao Qiao looked at Rei Ayanami and asked.

When it comes to Shinji's appearance, Qiao Qiao thought of the seriously injured Rei Ayanami who was wrapped in bandages and was taken out by a certain madao uncle and thrown to the protagonist.

"Arrange? We will arrange to conduct experiments on Unit-00 soon."

"That's confidential." Misato Katsuragi interrupted, hurriedly returning to work.

"Qiao Qiao is not an outsider. And this arrangement is not a confidential matter."

"Test..." Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of calculating based on the timeline.

If this was the startup test of Unit 00, it should have been an accident, and it would be reasonable for Rei Ayanami to be seriously injured and then meet the male protagonist at this time.

"Be careful." Qiao Qiao reminded.

Rei Ayanami looked at Qiao Qiao and nodded, then replied woodenly, "Yes."

"That's just the way it is, but maybe it's not safe enough." Qiao Qiao muttered to himself as he reached behind his back and took out a ring that he had made with his own magic weapon.

The top-level protective weapon, of course, has a protective function.

"You keep this."

However, when Qiao Qiao took out the ring and handed it to Rei Ayanami, Misato Katsuragi was stunned.

"Wait, the ring, you're planning to give Li a ring? What are you planning to do!?"

With some inexplicable emotion, Misato Katsuragi wanted to snatch the ring and throw it in Qiao Qiao's face to warn it, telling it not to think about doing anything strange.

However, Ayanami Rei held the ring tightly and looked straight at Qiao Qiao: "Qiao-jun, why did you give me the ring?"

"Because it is easy to carry." Qiao Qiao said.

"Convenient?" Katsuragi Misato looked strange and said, "Yes, a man like you who behaves like a slut must know the meaning of the ring. Why are you giving the ring to others?"

"..." Qiao Qiao tilted his head and asked, "You don't think the ring can only play a role in marriage and love, right? In Dongguo Feng Shui, a ring worn on the right finger can bring good luck. Lingbo, I hope you can carry the ring with you, it can bring wealth and save your life."

"..." Katsuragi Misato looked at Qiao Qiao's serious expression and was speechless for a moment: "What kind of Feng Shui is this!"

"Then Misato Katsuragi, you don't think I mean to propose to you?" Qiao Qiao laughed.

"Qiao-kun..." Ayanami Rei was stunned for a moment, and seemed to want to say something but was interrupted by Qiao Qiao.

"Hahaha, Misato, since you want it so badly, how about I give one to you if you want it?"

"..." Katsuragi Misato hesitated for a while, and after subconsciously touching the ring finger, she suddenly showed disdain and said, "Forget it, you gave me this ring too casually, it must be cheap."

"The little gemstones on it would probably be worth two years' salary if sold."

“……”Misato Katsuragi swallowed when she heard the price.

Although she held a high position with considerable power and had a good salary, for various reasons she bought a car and even had a loan on her hands.

"No, I'm afraid of being misunderstood." Hesitant, tempted by wealth, and at the same time, for some reason, a complex emotion arose in his heart.

Katsuragi Misato still resolutely rejected it and said, "I don't want to appear in any gossip pages."

"Is that so? What a pity. This consecrated item is very effective." Qiao Qiao said with sincere regret.

After all, this world is still quite dangerous. At the end of several episodes, Misato Katsuragi basically ends up being shot and falling to the ground.

Therefore, giving something to an acquaintance for self-defense may not be able to prevent this human from turning into orange juice, but it can block any conventional thermal weapon.

With Qiao Qiao's current level, the weapon-refining bodyguard forcibly created with a large amount of life would not lose a single hair even if it was hit head-on by a missile.

"So, accept this ring, Lingbo."

401.EVA Qiao Qiao: Runaway Unit

"Ling Bo, you don't have to worry about anything like Misato, do you?"

"…If Hashi-kun doesn't take it back." Ayanami Rei's words suddenly became a little tight.

She wore a ring on one hand and tightly clasped the ring-wearing hand with the other hand.

"Of course I won't take it back." Qiao Qiao said.

"I will treasure the things that Mr. Qiao gave me."

After a moment, Rei Ayanami said, "I will also work hard on the next test..."

"No." Qiao Qiao interrupted Rei Ayanami's speech and said, looking into her wine-red pupils.

In the mind of the girl who was born to pilot Evangelion and rituals, her role is EVA.

However, Qiao Qiao directly denied it.

"Li, the reason I gave you the ring is not to make Geng work hard to drive EVA, and the meaning of your existence is not to drive EVA for others."

"..."

Although Misato Katsuragi is worried that Qiao Qiao's words will affect the savior Rei Ayanami who is about to start EVA to fight against the apostles.

But when she thought about the fact that these adults were hiding behind their children and letting them go to the battlefield, Misato Katsuragi felt uneasy.

So, when I heard Qiao Qiao say these words, I actually thought in my heart, "That's very well said"...

Rei Ayanami stared at the ring on her hand.

The blood flows from the heart to the ten fingers, passes through the ring finger, and finally flows back to the heart.

An inexplicable feeling also attracted Rei Ayanami's attention, and with her rather limited imagination, she associated it with a sense of "security."

This feeling is hard-earned, especially when the launch test of Unit 0 is about to begin.

The top management attaches great importance to this test.

After all, according to the scheduled time, the apostles are about to appear.

But now the pilots of the EVA bodies have not yet fully arrived.

"Ling Bo, the test will be conducted soon."

"Yes."

Ling Bo responded to the researcher's words by pressing a button to expel the air inside the combat suit and shrink it into a close-fitting tight garment.

Because of this, a clear protruding ring shape can be seen on the ring finger of the right hand wearing the tights.

The researchers were supposed to see it, and they wanted to remind them that in order to avoid danger, it was best not to bring any props. However, after seeing the doll-like girl express strong rejection for the first time, they shut up.

If they cause any problems to these little saviors, they will definitely be the ones to resign.

However, what puzzled the researchers was why the doll girl suddenly wore the ring.

……

In the second test field, the orange-yellow Unit 0 was on standby.

"Connect all circuits of the main power supply.~."

"Mains power connected, start-up system operational."

Inside the 40-meter-high observation deck are NERV executives including Ritsuko Akagi and Gendo Ikari.

"The operating voltage is still 0.5, 0.2 away from the critical point... Breakthrough!"

"The system moves to stage two and begins connecting with the driver."

"System Phase 2, start! Synapse insertion, start combining!"

"Transmitting pulse, all circuits normal... prepare for third contact!"

"The distance to the absolute boundary is 0.9, 0.7, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3..."

Unit 0 has raised its head.

The researchers were excited, thinking the experiment was successful.

however……

"Pulse Countercurrent!"

The accident happened without any warning, making everyone nervous.

Unit 00 suddenly began to struggle violently in the restraints!

"An abnormality occurred in the third stage. The central neurons began to produce a rejection reaction, and the backflow intensified and could not be stopped!"

Unit 0's struggle became more intense, and it punched the command room hard!

"Bang!" A heavy punch.

Even with the added benefit of high-tech thickened tempered glass, seeing a behemoth like Evangelion swinging its punch at them still frightened many big shots and made them collapse to the ground.

"Unit 0 is out of control! Quick! Cut off the power!"

But even if the power supply to Unit-0 was cut off, the Evangelion's backup power supply could allow Unit-0 to function for a full half minute.

……

And Rei Ayanami, who is inside Unit 00 which starts to run wild outside, faces an even more difficult situation.

High temperature, high temperature, the surrounding liquid was boiling, making Rei Ayanami feel particularly painful. So she pulled the joystick even harder.

"Unit-0, why..."

For EVA, the joystick is more like a symbolic thing, and mental synchronization is the most important thing.

It was obvious that Unit 00's runaway behavior was caused by the lack of synchronization between the two parties, and the mental impact also made Rei Ayanami groan in extreme pain.

The reason why Unit-0 initially went berserk was because its replica of Adam instinctively rejected the implantation of Lilith's soul.

The screen suddenly went dark.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!" Rei Ayanami held her head tightly with both hands, hoping to drive away the voice in her head. However, the voice in her head became more and more obvious.

Rei Ayanami screamed and covered her head tightly with her hands, but suddenly she seemed to hear an unexpected sound.

"Lingbo, Lingbo."

"Hashi-kun..." Rei Ayanami was a little surprised to hear that impossible voice here.
