I participated in the development of EVA

After a long time, he turned around and went to the ground.

The underground base is filled with surveillance cameras controlled by the Three Sages System. There are many things they cannot say there, because once they say them, they will inevitably be known by Ikari Fumihiko.

In addition to them leaving, there were also some other people who took the elevator to the ground.

Coming to the ground, the two came to the cemetery and stood in front of Ikari Yui's tombstone.

Standing quietly for a long time.

It was still Fuyutsuki Kozo who broke the silence.

"That's the so-called giant beast type EVA, right?"

"It should be. It is basically consistent with the situation described in the intelligence. It should be roughly the same as the speculation. It is controlled by the Three Sages System in the same way as EVA's brain."

After a moment of silence, Ikari Gendō added another sentence.

"As long as the AT force field cannot be released, it will not affect the situation."

Although he said this, his expression was unusually solemn.

"Just because he can't solve the problem of the AT force field now doesn't mean he won't be able to solve it in the future."

Fuyutsuki Kozo expressed the concerns in Gendō Ikari's heart.

Fumihiko Ikari has a very strong ability to innovate.

"The key to breaking the impasse still lies in the authority of the Three Sages System."

The two fell silent.

Just like Ikari Gendō said, if you don’t want to wait passively, you have to obtain the authority of the Three Sages System.

In this way, whether it is implementing the Human Instrumentality Plan, going to the Sea of ​​Souls to reunite with Ikari Yui, or researching forced rescue plans, the Three Sages System is indispensable.

The reason why Seele handed Ikari Fumihiko over to NERV was because they needed the Three Sages System to complete the Human Instrumentality Plan. They did not take it by force, nor did they not want to. However, they knew too little about the Three Sages System and were worried that Ikari Fumihiko was hiding some cards, so they did not dare to act rashly.

The two of them returned to the underground base with instructions from the top leaders of Seele.

Seize the authority of the Three Sages System.

In fact, it was not an instruction, but they were regarded as a casual move by the top management of Seele. It would be best if they could succeed, but it didn't matter if they failed.

Simply put, Seele did not place all his hopes on the two of them.

"Considering Fumihiko Ikari's personality...Ritsuko Akagi still doesn't know about Professor Akagi's disappearance, right?"

Fuyutsuki Kozo knew what Ikari Gendō meant when he said this.

Initially, everyone believed that the only way to gain access to the Three Sages System was to start with Naoko Akagi and Fumihiko Ikari.

It was not until Ritsuko Akagi graduated and joined NERV that everyone realized that Ritsuko Akagi also had system authority. Therefore, everyone focused their attention on Ritsuko Akagi. It is no exaggeration to say that all the people Ritsuko Akagi met after joining the company were pawns arranged by various countries.

These people play the roles of friends, superiors, colleagues, suitors...

It was just that Ritsuko Akagi was too vigilant, which caused everyone's plans to fail.

The two of them had the same idea and cooperated with Seele to take action, but they also ended in failure in the end.

"You want to use this news to drive a wedge between the two of you!?"

"No! I want to do it myself this time."

Dongyue Gengzao frowned.

Seeing this, Ikari Gendō explained.

"I went to beg her to help rescue Wei."

Dongyue Kozou neither objected nor supported, he just stood there silently, and no one could tell what he was thinking at that moment.

however……

When you want to return to the underground base.

[Insufficient identity authentication authority, unable to enter the underground base, please return the original route. ]

Seeing this reminder, the two of them froze in place.

After just a moment of hesitation, he realized that it must be Fumihiko Ikari who changed their identity permissions.

Faced with this situation, the two were not angry, nor did they regret their previous decision to come to the ground to conspire, because Ikari Fumihiko wanted to expel them, and it didn't matter whether they stayed in the underground base or not, because their identity in the underground base was NERV members, and now Ikari Fumihiko was the chairman of the NERV Council and had the power to expel them.

The two returned to the cemetery again.

Fuyutsuki Kozo spoke first, "He is planning to cut off the cooperation between NERV and SEELE."

"It's not that we are going to cut off the relationship, but the cooperation has nothing to do with him from the beginning."

"In fact, the real purpose of setting up the Skynet system is to catch the top leaders of Seele, right?"

Ikari Gendo nodded.

On the Skynet system incident, he agreed with Fuyutsuki Kozo that this global monitoring system was prepared for the top management of Seele.

"He is targeting Seele like this. Did he learn something from Ikari Yui after connecting with Unit-01?"

Not only he suspected this, but even the top management of SEELE suspected that when Fumihiko Ikari was connected to Unit-01, he met Yui Ikari and learned some information from her. It was for this reason that after leaving SEELE and joining NERV, Fumihiko Ikari always strongly opposed the cooperation between NERV and SEELE.

"That should be the case. He is not the kind of person who cares about every little thing. Normally, if he didn't know about that plan, the conflict between him and the top management of Seele would not reach such a big level."

"all?"

"It should be only part of it. At that time, Ikari Fumihiko was not mature enough. Ikari Yui would probably not tell the whole story because of some concerns."

After a pause, Dongyue Gengzao added another sentence.

“She just knew the concept.”

Ikari Gendo withdrew his gaze from Ikari Yui's tombstone and spoke again.

“Is there a hotel nearby?”

"I guess I'll have to sleep at the construction site tonight."

Hearing this, Ikari Gendō also reacted.

The bad situation made him say more words in distress at this moment.

"Indeed, the wallet is in the underground base. Without money, you can't stay in a hotel even if there is one."

20:25:35

677. Yes, but not much

The research institute was originally planned to be the headquarters of NERV.

Because of the previous incident, other countries were unaware of Ikari Fumihiko's idea, so the construction work came to a halt, leaving vacant construction sites everywhere.

This is a good thing for Ikari Gendo and Fuyutsuki Kozo.

I thought I would have to spend the night in the cold wind, but when I walked into a nearby construction site, I found some temporary houses converted from containers that I could live in.

In order to have someone to look after each other, the two lived in a temporary room.

The simple conditions made it a little unbearable for the two people who had to stay in the air-conditioned environment for a long time, but this was not the most difficult thing.

The hardest part is...

The two had no money to eat and no place to eat.

The area near the institute is a restricted area. There is not even a supermarket, let alone a restaurant.

I wanted to get through the night and find a way to go to the Third New Tokyo City to get a new bank card tomorrow, but the more I endured, the hungrier I got, and the room was so stuffy and hot that it was annoying.

Fuyutsuki Kozo couldn't help but speak first.

"He just blocked our access to the underground base."

"You're going to the cafeteria to eat?"

"We are still in the middle level of Nerv, so it's not like we're just eating for free."

After all, Fuyutsuki Kozo is a professor.

Want face.

After a pause, he added.

"We can use this identity to requisition a conference room and spend the night there."

Ikari Gendo also found the current environment unbearable.

"it is good."

Walking in the quiet and deserted construction site.

Fuyutsuki Kozo couldn't help but start a conversation.

"What should we do next? Wait here for Ritsuko Akagi?"

"He must have anticipated this when he made the arrangement. There's no point in us staying there."

"Playing the emotional card?"

"There is no love between him and me, but you..."

Ikari Gendō didn't say anything else.

However, Fuyutsuki Kozo understood. He had a granddaughter named Fuyutsuki Aili.

This is the child of his daughter and Fumihiko Ikari.

Although Fumihiko Ikari never paid attention to this child, the two of them are indeed related by blood.

In the original work, Fuyutsuki Kozo's daughter did not appear, because in the original work, his daughter committed suicide before Fuyutsuki Kozo returned to Japan. The appearance of Ikari Fumihiko changed this trajectory. Therefore, Fuyutsuki Kozo, who still has concerns in his heart, does not want to complete Ikari Yui's plan as in the original work, but just wants to rescue Ikari Yui and solve the apostle crisis.

"He is on guard now. Even if I use this connection to return to the institute, I will just be under his surveillance. It doesn't make much sense."

Ikari Gendou nodded and responded.

"Ah."

Fuyutsuki Kozo thought for a moment before speaking again.

"Let's go to Xia Country."

Ikari Gendō was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Let's see what happens."

The reason for his silence was that it was too dark and without any lighting tools he was tripped by the debris on the construction site.

Fuyutsuki Kozo spoke again after he pulled Ikari Gendou up.

"Do you think they will shift their focus to the United States?"

"It should be Xia Country."

After a pause, Gendō Ikari straightened his clothes before speaking again.

"As long as Xiaguo can stick to its current policies, that will be the final soil for them to complete their plan."

"This might be a trap that Fumihiko Ikari left behind to make them show up."

Fuyutsuki Kozo misunderstood that Ikari Fumihiko had no intention of forcing Xia Guo to compromise, and thought that Ikari Fumihiko wanted to use Xia Guo to expose the top management of SEELE.

"It doesn't matter whether it is or not. With their style of doing things, they must have made corresponding arrangements all over the world and would not put all their eggs in one basket. It's just that Xia Country is relatively more suitable. It is large enough, lacks the apostle defense force, and has a certain industrial base. It is not easy for them to be exposed if they hide there."

Fuyutsuki Kozo nodded and then asked a question.

"Do you think they will abandon the existing sequence? Start a new one?"

Ikari Gendō was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Correct."

This time it was not because he fell again, but because he was unwilling to give up.

Seele's high-level human completion plan can change the carrier according to the situation. The current situation seems to be unfavorable to Seele, but in fact it has not touched the root of Seele's human completion plan. If he wants to see Ikari Yui again with the help of the human completion plan, he can only use Unit-01 as the carrier of completion.

As the two were about to walk back to the main activity area of ​​the base, Ikari Gendō spoke again.

"You stay here and continue your research on rescue. I will go to Xia Country alone when the situation becomes clearer."

Dongyue Gengzao did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
