I participated in the development of EVA

"We are actually Seele."

Ikari Fumihiko looked over in surprise: What you care about is really strange.

One of the two self-destructing seele spies spoke first with a wry smile.

"I am a peripheral member of Seele. I received an order and founded Truth with them."

Having said this, he paused and then added a sentence.

"It was Seele who protected me after the Second Impact... I joined them in order to survive. Before that, I always thought Seele was a British spy organization."

"My situation is similar to his. Before today, I also thought that Seele was a British intelligence organization."

The British representative was confused.

"Chairman, you should know that there is absolutely no connection between me and the Seele organization!"

At Ikari Fumihiko's signal, one of the two men opened his mouth to explain.

"The official members of the organization I have come into contact with are all British, and the people who provided us with funds and intelligence in the early days of the organization were all from the UK."

Leader Truth echoed.

“I can prove this.”

Another SEELE member who blew himself up added a sentence.

"I was in the UK during the second impact, and the area where I lived and operated with members of the Seele organization was also in the UK."

20:46:13

743.? ? ? ?

At this moment, everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Britain.

The British representative responded with an embarrassed look on his face.

"At that time, Nerv had not yet found out that Seele was related to the Second Impact. After learning about this, we took relevant actions and cleared out all Seele-related personnel in the country."

I didn't go on here because it wasn't just the UK that was cooperating with Seele at the time. All the current NERV Parliament member states are also cooperating with Seele.

Ikari Fumihiko had known about this situation for a long time and didn't want to bring up the past.

"Before we found out this information, NERV and SEELE had a cooperative relationship. Even the creation of NERV, the crisis management agency for the Angels, was closely related to SEELE."

After a pause, he added.

"Even I was a member of Seele back then."

If Fumihiko Ikari didn't say these things, it would be difficult for the Truth Alliance to investigate them, but he still said them to avoid misunderstanding.

Hearing this, everyone was very surprised.

However, although they were surprised, they did not say anything. They just sat there silently, waiting for the two Seele members to continue to self-destruct.

After the two members looked at each other, one of them continued to speak.

"I am just a peripheral member of Seele. I don't know much about the specific situation of the organization. I have always been passively waiting for the contact person to issue tasks."

"It's the same with me."

The person who spoke last paused before speaking again.

"This time, the contact person allowed me to take advantage of the situation."

The person who spoke first was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"I did not accept the task assigned by the contact person in this incident."

After hearing these words, Ikari Fumihiko asked back curiously.

"Why would you explode at this time?"

One person spoke.

"When I took on this mission, I wanted to use it to investigate the truth behind the second impact."

another.

"I want to know the truth."

The two people's general intention is the same. Instead of choosing to believe in NERV, they want to investigate the truth related to the Second Impact as soon as possible.

In fact, many people in this era are like Ryosuke Kaji. They have a deep obsession with the Second Impact and live to find out the truth about the Second Impact.

Leave professional matters to professionals. This has always been Fumihiko Ikari's management principle, so he asked the NERV Parliament to handle the matter.

"You guys follow up on what happens next."

Without waiting for anyone to reply, he asked the truth crowd.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Although they couldn't tell whether the situation was true or not, they already knew what they wanted to know. The Truth people were now focused on investigating Seele and verifying the intelligence from the NERV Council.

"Gone."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"In that case, this meeting ends here."

After saying that, he quickly closed the dream program.

As for whether Nerv and Truth could seize this opportunity to investigate something, he actually didn't have any expectations. The two people who blew themselves up in the meeting were just peripheral members of Seele. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were small fry. In fact, Nerv had arrested many people with similar situations over the years, but Seele was still hiding in the dark.

however……

The development of events was beyond his expectations.

wrong!

To be precise, he underestimated people's obsession with the Second Impact in this era and overestimated Seele's ability.

After the meeting, NERV followed the information revealed by the self-destructor and arrested two uplines. Normal interrogation did not yield any useful information. After the self-destructor revealed to the uplines that it was SEELE who triggered the second impact, the originally loyal uplines were turned against and provided all the information they knew. However, the two uplines were only peripheral members of SEELE, so the information was not very meaningful.

However, this incident opened up new ideas for everyone.

All captured SEELE members were shown documents and evidence related to NERV's 'truth about the Second Impact'. Some did not believe it, some raised doubts, but quite a number of them rebelled on the spot and provided NERV with new clues... In this way, like a snowball, SEELE's hidden forces were eliminated one by one.

Even some of Seele's spies planted inside NERV revealed their identities, and NERV also obtained some evidence related to the Second Impact.

There are both human and physical evidence.

The reason why such evidence has been compiled is naturally because the human completion plan is the long-cherished wish of the top leaders, not the vision of all members of the SEEL organization.

This made the NERV Council realize that Fumihiko Ikari was not slandering Seele when he said that Seele led the second impact.

After learning this, Nerv intensified its investigation into Seele.

However, as the information that Seele had caused the second impact spread, it was no longer Nerv who was searching for members of the Seele organization. Instead, clues were presented to Nerv one by one, and even the identities of Seele's two consuls in Germany and France were exposed.

However, after the identities of these two people were revealed, before NERV could take any action to capture them, the two had already disappeared.

Then...

The identities of Seele's consuls from other countries were also uncovered one by one, but these consuls, like the consuls from Germany and France, received the news in advance and went into hiding. It was obvious that there were high-level Seele officials hiding in the high-level ranks of Nerv.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised by this situation, but he felt relieved after thinking about it.

The Second Impact killed too many people and tore too many families apart. It can be said that what Seele did was unforgivable.

Just when he was secretly wondering who Consul Seele, who was hiding in the upper echelons of NERV, was, another piece of information was fed back to him.

[The French representative is missing. Based on the clues, it has been confirmed that the French representative is one of the Seele consuls.]

French representative?

This time he was really shocked.

The French representative, who is a staunch escapist, is actually a senior member of Seele.

……

The land was completely lost, and the top leaders of Seele gathered in an isolated secret base under the sea, which became their last territory.

The situation got out of control too quickly, and they were deserted too suddenly, so they are still unable to react.

"How could it become like this..."

"You still have the nerve to ask, if you hadn't handled it so hastily and failed to completely erase all traces of the incident, how could things have turned out like this?"

After the second impact, Seele had been trying to erase related traces, but they had not expected that after cleaning for so long, so many traces would remain.

"After all, the whole thing was caused by this person, Ikari Fumihiko..."

"If this person hadn't put forward that view, who would have associated the Second Impact with us?"

"The key to this matter lies with Ikari Yui."

"Impossible! Ikari Yui doesn't know about this."

"Then how did he know that?"

"Is it possible that he just wanted to throw mud at us and happened to find the right direction?"

"..."

20:46:30

744. I really can't beat the Iron Abyss this time.

Coincidence is the explanation that is closest to reality, but they are unwilling to accept it. They have made so many plans, but in the end they lost because of coincidence.

"Let's stop here! There's no point in discussing this any further. The most important thing now is to adjust the plan."

"Does this need to be discussed? The current situation is nothing more than continuing the original plan while changing the appearance and hiding in the dark to redevelop power."

The meeting room fell silent.

Things are just as the consul said, this is all they can and should do now.

"All the major scholars in the organization have defected because of this incident, and all our allies have also cut off contact with us. It is simply unrealistic to complete the Adam system with the scientific research capabilities of this base alone. Moreover, given the situation of this base, if we cannot obtain supplies from the outside world, it can only last for a month at most."

Although the underwater base has a nuclear reactor to provide a steady supply of energy, the spare parts needed for daily maintenance of various equipment and food for the personnel must be obtained from the ground.

The most pressing of these is food supply.

"It's not difficult to continue obtaining food supplies from the land. The main thing is to prevent the people below from knowing the truth and betraying us through contact with the outside world."

"The only people we can trust now are each other."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is, it is these people who have to go out and solve the problem of food supply.

"Your approach only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. It won't solve the problem."

"In fact, if we want to solve the food problem, it doesn't have to be so complicated. Didn't Fumihiko Ikari's research institute develop a technology that uses LCL to grow food? I think it's called soilless cultivation. Can't we just use it? Oh... By the way, his research institute is also studying the use of LCL to grow edible meat."

“This plan is feasible.”

"From what I understand, he is researching the LCL liquid soilless cultivation technology, which can mature in about two weeks. However, because the safety issue has not been determined, animal experiments are being conducted, so it remains in the laboratory stage... Well, LCL has not yet produced any results in edible meat cultivation. If you just want to ensure survival, there is actually no need to develop this meat cultivation technology. Soilless cultivated food can be mixed with LCL."

Soilless-grown food can solve hunger and digestive system problems caused by long-term use of LCL to supplement body nutrition.

There was silence in the meeting room for a moment before a consul broke the silence.

"The food problem for us is easy to solve, but what should we do with the new batch of artificial embryos? They are only about three months old now."

"Discard it."

"Yes, given our current situation, we don't have the resources to cultivate this batch of artificial embryos."

At this time, a consul who had been silent could not help but smile bitterly.

"Haha... To be honest, I never thought that a group of people like us would one day sit together and discuss these things."

The others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the past, the things that this group of people discussed when they got together were either to decide the fate of a country or how to fool the whole world to complete the human completion plan.

"...You can't stand this? You will be even more unacceptable to what we are going to discuss next."

"What shall we discuss next?"

“The problem of fecal disposal and urine recycling.”
