Ultraman: What, I am guarding Ultra Father?

But looking at the face, Katsuragi Misato always felt that it seemed a little familiar, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Dongye, who was that person who just left? Why would he want to buy you a drink?"

Higashino Kei said calmly, "A man who coordinates transportation, named Otsuka Makoto. I saved him this morning. I just came to hand over some documents and to express my gratitude."

"Otsuka Makoto!"

Hearing this name, Katsuragi Misato couldn't help but frowned:

"Don't get involved with that guy, Dongye. He's the Minister of the Cabinet and the Minister of Finance, and he has a deep connection with her.

We've been blocked many times over funding issues and have always been at odds with NERV."

"This time, they're participating in the coordination mission. They must be secretly investigating the flow of funds and looking for problems with us."

Katsuragi Misato grew increasingly angry as she spoke, shaking her fist in the air. "Damn it! We're living in danger every day at headquarters, and we might be finished off any day. And this guy actually has the leisure to doubt us."

Higashino Kei was silent: "Miri, we are just working for a salary. Even if we are suspected, it will be the headquarters that will deal with it. It has nothing to do with us."

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.

"well!?"

Misato Katsuragi was stunned for a moment before she reacted and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha~"

"Wow, Unit 2 is red."

Suzuhara Touji's exclamation gave Katsuragi Misato an opportunity to escape the awkward atmosphere, and she quickly changed the subject.

"Asuka is coming over, let's go get her."

Chapter 162 Chapter 161: Meeting Jiazhi Again

"Miri, uncle."

Misato Katsuragi had just finished speaking.

The two saw Asuka standing on the chest armor of Unit 02, waving at them.

"It seems that she didn't take the lesson from this morning to heart."

Misato Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief. If the pilot had a psychological problem, was afraid of this and that and was afraid to fight, then she, as the head of the operations department, would have a heavy responsibility.

"After all, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the place,"

Higashino Kei waved his hand in response, paused, and whispered, "It would be best if you didn't take it to heart, but many accidents are often caused by improper communication.

I'm not afraid that she has problems, I'm just afraid that she's hiding them in her heart."

"I suggest you find a psychologist to do some psychological profiling and counseling."

Misato Katsuragi was stunned for a moment.

Improper communication.

Fifteen years ago, the cold relationship between her and her father was caused by improper communication.

"Thank you. I'll make arrangements when I get back."

Misato Katsuragi sighed in her heart, and when she saw Asuka coming over, she quickly put on a smile and spoke to Shinji Ikari, Touji Suzuhara, Kensuke Aida and Rei Ayanami.

"Let me introduce you to the ace of the European Air Force, Captain Shikinami Asuka Langley."

"The second girl, the pilot of EVA Unit 2."

"Miri-sister, uncle,"

Asuka greeted them with a smile, then frowned when she saw the different expressions on Shinji and the others' faces.

As far as she knew, the people who could see the EVA up close were either NERV staff or the backup pilots listed in Maruduk's plan.

"So, which one of you was chosen as the pilot of Unit-00 by relying on connections from your superiors, and which one of you was chosen as the pilot of Unit-01 by relying on your father?"

"that……"

Asuka still had the same temper. Shinji Ikari laughed and raised his hand helplessly.

"I am Unit-01..."

"Are you stupid?"

Asuka was a little indignant. According to the battle plan, the Seventh Angel was supposed to send out three EVAs, but when she arrived, there was only her Unit 2.

"You weren't here at the critical moment. Don't you have any self-awareness at all?"

"Excuse me,"

Higashino Kei said, "This is completely due to a reason. We just dealt with the Fifth Angel two days ago. In just two days, the Technical Department and the Maintenance Department haven't yet completed the maintenance of the EVA."

"That's it,"

Asuka nodded thoughtfully and looked at Shinji Ikari: "Then I forgive you."

"Then who among you got in through the backdoor?"

Ling Bo Ling didn't say anything when he heard this, but just pulled the corner of Tono Kei's clothes.

"Dongye, I saw it."

What did you see?

Higashino Kei was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and pushed Ling Nan Ling towards the exit:

"What? Is there something wrong with Unit-00? Let's go back and talk while we walk."

"Hey~ She was chosen as the pilot of Unit 00 by relying on connections from her superiors."

Asuka looked at the two people walking away with a look of suspicion on her face:

"Misato, aren't you afraid that Uncle Dongye will take the person who got in through the backdoor and do something bad?"

"what!?"

Katsuragi Misato looked slightly stunned: "You mean the guy who is extremely slow in expressing his feelings?"

Sure enough, she is another problem girl.

Dongye was right indeed.

Asuka needs a therapist.

Katsuragi Misato sighed slightly, and her eyes accidentally caught sight of a familiar figure appearing around the corner, and her gaze paused slightly:

"Don't worry, he has a partner and won't do what you think."

"Your accommodation and transfer still need to be arranged. Come on, we'll follow."

On an empty escalator.

Ayanami Rei and Higashino Kei are one in front and one behind.

Seeing that Ling Nan didn't speak, Higashino Kei had to break the silence himself:

"Okay, tell me what you saw."

"I was at the entrance and saw you being captured by the giant that grew out of the earth,"

Ling Bo paused and asked, "Is the giant a new type of EVA?"

Such a coincidence?

Kei Higashino thought carefully and realized that his position at that time was just within the visible range of the camp entrance.

"No, I just have a disease that makes me turn into a giant."

Ling Bo Ling nodded, not quite understanding: "It has to be kept secret, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your help," Higashino Kei nodded.

"I see,"

Ling Bo Ling paused and said, "Someone is following us."

"It turns out that becoming a giant is a disease."

Kaji Ryoji's voice rang out behind the two of them.

"That's really enviable, Dongye."

Higashino Kei did not respond when he heard this, but turned his head and looked at him calmly.

"Did I say anything?"

The indifferent look made Kaji Ryoji shudder for no reason. He turned his head away and said something without thinking:

"Well, the weather today is very good. The temperature is just right, perfect for an outing."

Walking out of the gate and looking at the route map in the hall, Kaji Ryoji sighed:

"I haven't been back for two years. Do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing that he knew what was good for him, Kei Higashino didn't bother to make a big deal out of it.

"Before you even think about going out, you should think about how to deal with the person behind you."

"Deng Deng Deng Deng~"

"what?"

Ryoji Kaji was slightly stunned, and the sound of footsteps behind him made him subconsciously turn his head.

"..."

"Why are you here?"

Misato Katsuragi walked over from the gate with a sullen face.

"Ah, this."

Kaji Ryoji scratched his head and said, "I just came back from a business trip in Moscow. I encountered air traffic control and landed at a nearby airport."

I saw that besides Misato, there were Shinji, Suzuhara Touji, and Asuka and others behind her.

Kaji Ryoji suggested, "The next connecting train to the underground city will arrive in an hour. Why don't we find a place to sit?"
