Shinji Ikari cannot leave. It might be better before NERV finishes defeating the Angels. But after NERV finishes defeating the Angels, Shinji Ikari's importance will instantly reach MAX.

Even Seele was puzzled. Could it be that... by going to the subspace... no, by going to the Dirac Sea, one could obtain such "forbidden knowledge"?

"Yes, we have seen similar knowledge. They should all be very powerful, and different from the known machines, Luji."

"Hmm... so, this is all true?"

"Our senior spies in the Soviet Union and China have received some information. The Soviets and Chinese regard this knowledge as top secret. Moreover, it is mature technology and can be put into use immediately. It is mature enough... They have already produced the first batch of chips, which are very useful for brain-computer assistance. Haha, on the other hand, the United States has only obtained some of the most basic brain-computer assistance systems, but the United States is also working hard on research. I believe that there will be breakthroughs in the near future - but they will lag far behind China and the Soviet Union."

"It seems we underestimated the Third Most Suitable Person, but all this was not planned. The Dirac Sea indeed contains forbidden knowledge. But so what? This is not what we seek—" Speaker Luki's voice was flat, but then he changed the subject: "However, even if it is not what we seek, such important technology can either become a stumbling block or a help to us. We must not ignore it."

"What should we do? Kill him? - China, the Soviet Union and the United States all protect him. With our current situation, doing such a thing will cost us a huge price." This is what was said behind a stone tablet.

"We can't just leave them alone like this."

The final outcome of the discussion was quite interesting.

"I do have an idea. That kid has been brainwashed by XXX. Why not have NERV send him on a mission to America? Then, there's no way he'll come back."

"Will this work? Will the Soviets release them? Isn't the most important reason they chose Japan because it's located between the three major powers and not adjacent to any of them? It's a buffer zone. Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if they died?"

This is true.

"It doesn't matter. If the Soviets don't agree, we can do it quietly. And there's no rush—oh, we can send our strongest card to him first."

"Well, that's a good idea—well, the details..."

------------------

Xiao Ikari didn't know the specific details of the plot against him, he only knew that he was now sure to win.

He had a socket implanted in his brain. This brain machine was different from the others. This level of craniotomy should theoretically be difficult to perform, but—

"Hey, that's a good response." Akagi Ritsuko looked at Ikari Shinji in shock. This morning, Ikari had come in on his own and told her he'd had a craniotomy yesterday. Not to mention the brain-computer interface, the surgery had been performed with the help of specialists from both China and the Soviet Union.

"But Xiao Zhen." Akagi Ritsuko glanced at Xiao Ikari, a gleam in her eyes: "Don't you trust me? Why don't you let me do such an important operation?"

"Because this is just a simple physics problem, it's easy to solve. Run the program and you'll know what's going on—" Akagi secretly made this socket for Ikari. Just how secretive was this? — It's not that secretive: "Besides, it was Ritsuko who made it. It's just a hole in the head—Ritsuko will have to take care of the program running next. This is not just trusting Ritsuko, I'm giving Ritsuko the key to my entire heart."

"...Humph, humph, humph..." Akagi Ritsuko snorted coldly a few times and said, "You are indeed a child with a bad temper, and you thought you were a mature child. But you know that now you have suddenly opened such a backdoor for yourself. Although it may be useful in the battle against the apostles, but... some people will take more extreme measures to exploit this loophole of yours..."

"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of that." Xiao Ikari was very clear about this and said, "Sister Ritsuko - tell me, do humans have souls?"

"? ...As a scientist educated in positivist science, I'd like to tell you no." The lady scientist's glasses nearly cracked as she lit a cigarette in response to this question. She looked at Ikari with a stern expression, a rare one. "But we're scientists at NERV. Do you think this world has a soul? — EVA is something that can't be fully studied. Until it's fully understood, no one can say the soul doesn't exist."

"So, our souls are merely inhabiting this perishable body. Sister Ritsuko—if I were to die, become paralyzed, or become disfigured one day, would you still be by my side?"

"Of course not. Stop dreaming, pretty boy." Akagi Ritsuko snorted, revealing a look of disgust. "Your entire value is purely sexual. Don't speculate on me—return the skirt! Six, nine:#;④:nine;three?⑥?one;③;five:yes, what are you thinking? With me as your support, even if you fall into the Dirac Ocean, I can pull you back out! So, by making yourself so miserable, are you doubting my ability?"

"Eh? Sister Ritsuko, you're angry..."

"That's about right. I get so angry when someone doubts my skills. But you're lucky I'm very rational when I'm working." Akagi Ritsuko smiled and pulled out a syringe from the side, not caring about any blood contamination or other issues. After all, it's already come into contact with mucous membranes, so why would she be afraid of this? Without even wearing gloves or disinfecting them, she thrust the needle directly into Ikari's butt.

Yes.

Xiao Ikari is now naked and is being examined by Ritsuko Akagi.

"!?!? Eh!" Xiao Ikari cried out in pain, and was frightened and his hair stood on end: "Ritsu...Ritsuko-sister!? You said you weren't angry?"

"Ah, I forgot you can't prick your butt when taking blood—what are you doing!"

"I need to help you put on your white coat so that I can conduct a proper examination, right?"

Akagi Ritsuko examined Shinji Ikari in a white lab coat—or maybe that was all she wore. Oh, and her high heels should be included—

About an hour later, the confidential test results for Shinji Ikari came back. Old Ikari still believed that Akagi Ritsuko was one hundred percent his own. Such information couldn't be shared with the intelligence services, which had already been thoroughly infiltrated by the Chinese, Soviet, American, British, French, SEELE, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Akagi Ritsuko's "studio" was completely physically cut off from the outside world, and all electronic information was physically disconnected. Communication was done mechanically, and data was transmitted using physical media—hence, Ikari's physical examinations usually took a long time.

"Okay, you stay naked." After putting on clothes other than the white coat, Ritsuko Akagi recovered from being completely crazy and became completely rational.

"Eh? Sister Ritsuko, this isn't good, right? I don't like this one-sided game..."

"What are you thinking about! Stand up straight!" Akagi Ritsuko glanced at Ikari and said, "Today's test process is to pilot the EVA without relying on the combat suit, relying entirely on the ability of the body."

“…Oh?!” We experienced this last week.

"Also, the same plug insertion experiment." Ritsuko Akagi lit a cigarette. She cleaned up the "battlefield" very meticulously, but what she said next was so... interesting.

"You, the first-most suitable candidate, and the second-most suitable candidate, also without a pilot's uniform, will be physically inserted into the same insertion plug. Well, Mr. Ikari Shinji, please remember the most basic etiquette. Work is work, and if you're in the insertion plug with two other drivers of the opposite sex of the same age... hehe. Don't worry, the testers this time are all women..."

"?! No, do those two gentlemen accept it?"

"Rei didn't hesitate at all, but she actually looked a little shy—oh, and also a little expectant. Hmm, I didn't expect Rei to have such a personality..."

Little Ikari never expected that his mother, Ikari Yui, had such a personality.

"And Asuka—that was a little harder to convince. But when she heard that Rei might be able to enter the plug alone with you, she agreed immediately. Hehe—it wasn't too difficult."
