Ultraman: What, I am guarding Ultra Father?

"When will you take me to the Final Dogma Zone?"

This sentence is both a question and a test.

It would be great if Ritsuko Akagi could give a clear time, indicating that she is sincere.

If no clear time is given, Kei Higashino will not let a woman be led by the nose and delay things again and again.

"Right now,"

Analyzing from the clues that Kei Higashino had inadvertently revealed before, Ritsuko Akagi guessed that the stone statue that appeared out of thin air in the final dogma area was likely alive.

In order to avoid further complications, it is better to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Akagi Ritsuko stood up and took Higashino Kei to the locker room: "Change your clothes, I'll take you downstairs."

"it is good,"

Kei Higashino was a little surprised by Ritsuko Akagi's urgency, but he did not hesitate.

It would be good to complete the unlocking task of Strange Flash as soon as possible.

……

NERV headquarters.

Commander's room.

Seven black rectangular tablets with red numbers on them surround Ikari Gendō.

Stone Tablet No. 01: "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

"The fourth angel attacked and was annihilated, then the third qualified person was received and EVA Unit-01 was activated for the first time.

Although an unexpected monster appeared, fortunately everything went according to plan."

Stone Tablet No. 04: "However, the awakening of Unit-, the appearance of the Titan, and the enormous cost of repairs were all unexpected."

Stone Tablet No. 05 stated, "Compared to the frozen Unit-, repair costs are not a problem. As long as the Titans do not affect our plans, everything is within an acceptable range."

"Well, as a weapon, it has awakened after all. Although the maintenance costs are a bit high, Ikari Gendou, you have a good son."

Stele No. 01 praised with rare praise: "As long as the follow-up is carried out according to plan, we will definitely be able to achieve our ultimate wish this time."

Monument No. 03: "Commanding NERV and the EVA is your duty. You have done an excellent job, Commander Ikari. Keep up the good work."

Stone Tablet No. 06: "Commander Ikari, you did a good job, but annihilating the apostles is only a small part of the contract with Lilith. Although the giants did not show any hostility,

But the statue's appearance in the final dogma zone and the prophecy of the time machine remain hidden dangers."

"I understand, and I will try my best to prevent these issues from affecting the final plan,"

Although he said so, various factors, such as the appearance of the giant and the huge change in his son's personality, made Ikari Gendo a little unsure.

After hearing what Ikari Gendō said, the people represented behind the stone tablets fell silent and stopped talking, hastily ending the meeting.

Wait until all the stone tablet projections disappear.

Fuyutsuki Kozo, who had been standing beside Ikari Gendo in silence for a long time, finally spoke:

"Ikari, Ritsuko has hired a new male assistant. He seems to be quite tall and handsome. Did you know about this?"

"Male assistant?"

Ikari Gendō's voice rose a few notches in vain, but as he realized his teacher was right beside him, his tone gradually returned to normal.

"She hasn't told me about this, but she's no longer the same girl she used to be. She has to live her own life. As long as it doesn't affect the execution of the plan, let her be."

Having said that, for some reason, when he heard that Ritsuko had hired a male assistant, Ikari Gendo always felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It seems that I must find time to ask Ritsuko what it means to hire a male assistant.

Resentment?

……

"Da Da~Da Da~Da Da~Da Da"

Under the dim light, in the entire elevator, apart from two peaceful breathing sounds, the only sound was the mechanical indicator representing the elevator floor number, which was making a mechanical sound.

Until the elevator sank to the LCL blood sea, and the blood sea was filled with various strange biological cultivation areas that looked like trees and blood vessels.

Kei Higashino's gaze, like that of an old monk in meditation, finally shifted.

I saw Kei Higashino looking at the environment outside the elevator with curiosity.

Akagi Ritsuko finally broke the silence and started to introduce:

"This is the Central Dogma, the first surface layer. The reddish liquid is the sea of ​​blood formed by the oxidation of LCL.

Those strange, intestine-like things around here are EVA's backup organs."

Although Kei Higashino had already seen it once in the movie.

But when these scenes left the two-dimensional world, a space made of blood appeared before his eyes.

Kei Higashino discovered that the filter brought to him by the two-dimensional world was completely broken at this moment.

At this moment, he only felt something rolling in his throat inexplicably, and a nauseous feeling that was about to burst out.

"Disgusting, isn't it?"

Noticing the strangeness in Kei Higashino's throat, Ritsuko Akagi smiled slightly. She understood this feeling.

Because it was the first time she saw these things, she looked just like Kei Higashino, and even more embarrassed than him.

However, Kei Higashino's performance was somewhat beyond Ritsuko Akagi's expectations.

She originally thought that unknown creatures like giants would not have any reaction to things like blood.

Seeing that Higashino Kei had no intention of explaining, Akagi Ritsuko wisely did not ask, but comforted him:

"Once you watch it for a long time, you'll get used to it."

Have you been watching for a long time?

Higashino Kei was silent for a moment: "Is this also within your job scope?"

A faint mint aroma wafted through the air, and Akagi Ritsuko exhaled a puff of white smoke:

"Well, our Technical Department, in addition to being responsible for the development and maintenance of EVA, must also manage and maintain the MAGI supercomputer and related weapon systems.

Growing replacement organs is only a small part of the job.”

For the smooth implementation of the plan.

Seeing that Higashino Kei remained silent, Akagi Ritsuko still had some hope and asked, "Since I've helped you so much, won't you say something?"

This woman still has evil intentions.

Higashino Kei said expressionlessly, "According to interstellar agreements, I cannot interfere with the development of civilization itself. Exposing my identity to you is a last resort."

"Besides, everyone has their own expertise. I know absolutely nothing about biology. Asking me is like asking a blind man for directions."

Akagi Ritsuko was speechless and choked: "Then what are your duties as observers?"

"Observation," Higashino said succinctly.

"..."

Ritsuko Akagi now understood that the man in front of her was simply unyielding and only had the mission in his eyes from beginning to end.

"Besides observation and spatial ability, what else do you have? It's just other abilities."

A woman without a sense of boundaries...

Higashino Kei glanced at her calmly and said, "Does destroying a civilization in five seconds count?"

After all, the bodies of Gatanjea and Dark Zagi are in him. To some extent, he can be regarded as an alternative dark destroyer and dark ruler.

So this is actually the truth.

Chapter 133 132 Throwing out garbage

When Akagi Ritsuko heard this, she was frightened.

After a long silence, she was afraid that Kei Higashino would say something shocking again.

Just when I was feeling nervous and hesitant, wondering what to say to ease the suddenly tense atmosphere.

After a while of silence.

"Ding!"

The elevator sounded as it reached the bottom floor.

At this moment, in Ritsuko Akagi's ears, it was like the echo of hope, suddenly pulling her away from the sea of ​​suffering called anxiety.

"arrive,"

Ritsuko Akagi looked at the English fluorescent screen in front of her, which displayed the name of the Final Dogma Sealing Center. She took out her ID card from her pocket and opened the seal of the Sealing Center.

Accompanied by a mechanical sound.

The metal door in front of him suddenly cracked into a cross-like gap, which then gradually expanded in four directions.

At this moment, Kei Higashino finally understood why he knew the statue was at the NERV headquarters but couldn't sense it.

So the AT stance also has the unique effect of isolating perception...

But this speculation was quickly overturned by him.

Because Golzan can find the approximate location of the stone statue by perception.

Why couldn't he sense it?

Therefore, rather than saying that the AT stance isolates perception, it is better to say that it can isolate the detection of spiritual power.

He and the Orange Juice Man of this world are not of the same species.

In other words, humans and animals are on different frequencies, so they cannot perceive it.

Akagi Ritsuko didn't know what Higashino Kei was thinking, but pointed at the giant pure white humanoid monster wearing a mask and nailed to a red cross.

The gray-white stone statue, which was submerged in the white skull but was unusually conspicuous, said:

"The statue you're looking for is right there."
