"——This is Unit 3?!"

When Shinji saw the appearance of Unit 3, he was immediately shocked.

This huge black alien-like monster really frightened Shinji Ikari.

"However, we are not yet sure whether you can drive this No. 3 machine."

Ritsuko Akagi said this to Shinji.

"Hey, but why?" Shinji asked.

"Thinking principle. When Unit 3 is in beast mode, the thinking mode is close to that of a real beast. I am not sure whether other people, except the original pilot of Unit 3, can apply it."

Ritsuko Akagi asked with a frown.

"Dr. Akagi."

At this time, Ayanami Rei also came over.

"Lingbo?" Shinji was a little surprised.

"Yes, Rei will also pilot Unit 3 in this operation... Although it depends on the result, the result is actually the same."

In terms of results, are they the same?

"...Unit No. 3, is it such a terrifying thing?"

Shinji was a little surprised.

"It's not that it's such a scary thing, it's just that most people can't use it." Misato Katsuragi was originally giving instructions to Shinji, but now she's here too. At this time, she explained on the side.

"So to confirm this, let's come over and give it a try?"

Shinji knew that Unit 3 was an American product, and it was understandable that it had some special functions.

"Then, let's start with Shinji-kun first!" Dr. Akagi began to give orders at this time.

"Hi!"

Shinji Ikari nodded, and then entered the position where the plug was inserted.

"Let's get started now."

Following Dr. Akagi's order, the experiment began to continue.

"Connection... normal. LCL injection. Thought mode switched to Japanese. Wait, why is the connection so weird?"

"ah--!--!"

Shinji Ikari suddenly let out a terrifying and unpleasant roar, just like... like a wild beast.

"Shinji-kun!"

Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi were both shocked.

"Experiment terminated!" Misato Katsuragi immediately gave the order.

"...It doesn't matter, let's continue the experiment below." Commander Ikari gave the order.

"commander?!"

Misato Katsuragi was shocked by Commander Ikari's order.

"This is just phantom limb pain. There is indeed no danger." Ritsuko Akagi also explained.

"Phantom limb...?"

"Phantom limb pain, or phantom limb pain, means that the patient feels that the severed limb is still there, and pain occurs there. The pain mostly occurs at the distal end of the severed limb, and the nature of the pain is various. It feels like an electric shock.

, cutting-like, tearing-like or burn-like, etc. It manifests as persistent pain with episodic worsening. Various drug treatments are often ineffective. There is currently no unified opinion on the cause of phantom limb pain, and MAGI cannot give one.

Accurate answer."

Ritsuko Akagi explained phantom limb pain to Misato Katsuragi.

"But why is this happening?"

"Because EVA is a machine that synchronizes with the human body's senses. But the current situation is a bit special... Shinji-kun's senses belonging to the 'human body' were deprived, but because he could not switch his thinking mode, the current situation was born.

It's a situation. But don't worry, it will be fine after a while."

Sure enough, after a period of pain, the situation of Shinji Ikari in the picture began to improve.

"Just...what happened?"

As the person involved, Shinji Ikari was not in as much pain as he showed. In fact, just now, Shinji Ikari just felt something stirring in his mind.

Other than that... I don't feel anything at all.

Yes, there is no pain.

"——Shinji! How are you?" Misato Katsuragi's voice gradually reached his ears.

"Miss Misato?"

Shinji gradually recovered from his dazed feeling, but he still had some strange feelings.

"Shinji, are you okay now?"

"Of course I'm fine. What's wrong, Miss Misato?"

"But just now, didn't you look in pain?" Misato Katsuragi was startled by Shinji's expression.

"Eh. But I just felt a little... strange." Shinji was also confused.

What just happened was really strange to him.

"Is that so? Li, I'm afraid you won't have to participate in the following experiments. This kind of thinking mode... I'm afraid it's really not something that ordinary 'human beings' can do, right?"

Ritsuko Akagi shook his head.

This mode of thinking is simply not something that ordinary people can simulate.

"That girl... no, she is simply a monster."

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi's expression had become very strange.

"What about Unit 3's actions?" Misato Katsuragi asked again.

"Completely... can't control it."

After Shinji Ikari tried to control it, he could only shake his head to express that this was impossible.

In fact, this is indeed not an easy thing to do.

"Okay. Shinji-kun, please come down now. The experiment is terminated. Let's go and see the EVA side." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Experiment terminated?"

After the experiment on Unit 3 ended, he moved his gaze to the cockpit of Unit 3.

"Is this... the position that Miss Catherine once held?" Shinji felt a little strange.

This place is where Catherine once stayed.

Unconsciously, Shinji's heart beat violently.

But at this time, Shinji suddenly saw Ayanami Rei outside. He shook his head violently.

Poor Shinji-kun, he still doesn't know how terrifying the Shura field he will face in the future is.

"The experiment below is Unit 1? So, is Miss Catherine over there too?"

I can't control Unit 3 now. But, can Miss Catherine sit on Unit 1?

Speaking of which, there seems to be... Ayanami's aura in Unit 1...

"Damn it, what am I thinking!"

The fourteen-year-old boy felt a little dizzy.

"Shinji, come down!" Misato Katsuragi's voice suddenly came.

"Hi!"

After hearing the other party's voice, Shinji Ikari hurriedly walked over from Unit 3.

After Shinji Ikari came down, the experiment of Unit 3 did not end. At this time, the staff also connected a lot of parts to Unit 3.

"What is this?" Shinji asked in surprise.

"Let's test it together. The mode that can analyze and read the thinking mode has a special analytical effect on the special animal transformation mode of Unit 3." After finishing speaking, Akagi Ritsuko stopped explaining and went to the beginning.

Walk over to the plane.

"Um."

…

Over at Unit 1, Catherine has already begun experiments at this time.

Although there are no heavyweights, the experiments here are relatively simpler.

So it's not a problem.

"Unit No. 1 is easier to control than imagined."

Catherine found that Unit 1 seemed to be really easy to control.

At least, relatively speaking.

Compared with Unit 3, Unit 1 is indeed easier to drive.

I have to say. In this regard, Americans are really not as good as NERV.

"But it's no wonder, after all, these people have direct support from SEELE."

However, this is no longer a problem.

At this time, Catherine has read all the data here.

The future Fifth Apostle, or EVA, will only have better settings than Unit 1 in terms of the insertion bolt and driver's seat.

"However, when flying Unit 1, I always feel a sense of disharmony."

Catherine probably knew where this feeling of dissonance came from.

"——The soul of Unit-1?"

Ikari Wei.

"But what exactly do you have in mind?"

In various works, this woman has her own script...but the trick is that in each work, her purpose is different.

In the TV, she hopes that humans can exist forever in the universe. In the comics, she teaches Shinji to protect humans.

In this regard, Catherine just wants to say...your sister.

Because of these reasons, Catherine does not know what her purpose is in this world.

Communicating with Yui Ikari may help you achieve your goals a little faster. But that's all.

However, if the other party does not like your purpose, your next strategy may be ruined.

Rather than moving, Catherine simply pretended not to know about the soul in EVA.

"No, the unfamiliar feeling is probably not because of the driver. It's because Ikari Wei...is she rejecting me?"

It seems that Shinji Ikari's wife is really wary.

But that's right, even though Shinji Ikari's own memory is blurred, and although the image of Catherine ten years ago was disguised, this mother should be able to tell that these two guys are the same person, right?

Because of this, I became vigilant and wary...that's probably it.

"On Unit 1, is the synchronization rate maintained at around 30%? It is quite different from Unit 3."

As soon as he arrived here, Dr. Akagi saw the data and reports on the experiment.

But compared to Unit 3, Catherine's performance on Unit 1 can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

"Let the pilot go back to Unit Zero to continue testing."

After hearing what Dr. Akagi said, Commander Ikari suddenly spoke.

"Unit Zero? But aren't they all the same?" Misato Katsuragi's doubts became stronger and stronger.

However, the plan went ahead as usual.

After Catherine entered Unit 0, the synchronization rate also rebounded again, reaching the same level as Unit 3, and sometimes even higher.

"It seems that our Major Edson has a very bad compatibility with Unit-1." Ritsuko Akagi said.

"Wei, are you rejecting this girl? But, what is the reason?"

Commander Ikari looked at Catherine's portrait on the big screen with his majestic eyes.

He didn't know what he was thinking.

"Everyone has their own secret..."

Misato Katsuragi felt tired.

Since the apostle's attack, these things have happened one after another, and she has become more and more suspicious, and even ignored Shinji's discipline. His running away from home made Katsuragi Misato depressed for a while.

.But fortunately, in the end, Shinji Ikari finally came back, and his condition seemed to have recovered a little.

But now, Misato Katsuragi doesn't feel worried at all.

In other words, she has a headache now.

According to the plan, Units No. 2 and Unit 4 will also be sent over one by one. Misato Katsuragi is getting more and more worried about the current problem.

"This bad feeling... is really annoying."

The escaped fifth apostle flashed through her mind, and for some reason, Katsuragi Misato suddenly felt worried.

That was the commander's intuition, the fifth apostle's final retreat action. It was really... too strange.

Clumsy?

wrong.

On the contrary, at that time, the fifth apostle showed unparalleled speed, dexterity and anti-tracking capabilities.

It is obviously such a huge thing, but it can be completely hidden. If the fifth apostle can show his ability during the process, then Shinji will not be able to persist until Catherine arrives.

And...it's obvious that the core is already damaged.

But what is the problem?

There is obviously a problem, but you are unable to explain the facts clearly. This is the most troublesome thing.

"It would be nice if the clues could be clearer... It would be nice if someone could help me... Blessings..."

She shook her head and stopped thinking about these problems.

What's wrong with me? This is not my character at all!

"Okay, let's end the experiment here. Dr. Akagi, please give me a complete report of the experiment later." The person who gave the order to complete the experiment was Commander Ikari himself.

"Unit No. 3...will you continue to attack next time?" Dongyue asked after leaving the test site.

"Ah." Commander Ikari's answer was as simple as ever.

"But, is there no problem with doing this? After all, Unit 3 and its pilot are like this."

The problem of Unit 1 can't be completely summarized by just "incompatible nature".

"So, it is even more important to let the No. 3 machine go to the battlefield. The No. 3 machine uses a special material to increase the strength of the body, right? But the material itself does not seem to be that easy to make."

Tempered carbon nanotube fiber.

After returning to his office, Commander Ikari picked up the tablet on his desk. The data of this material was displayed on it.

"I see. Do you plan to use the No. 3 unit as a consumable? Let's make the best use of it. In this case, the existence of the No. 3 unit will have no impact on us at the critical stage of the plan."

This method was just right. After hearing Commander Ikari's order, Dongyue nodded secretly.

"The current No. 3 unit is not a problem. But there will be a No. 4 unit in the future."

Commander Ikari didn't know this before.

But after noticing the situation of Unit 1 and the special design of Unit 3, Commander Ikari knew that the method of handling Unit 3 would need to be changed.

If there was only Unit 3, Commander Ikari still wouldn't do this.

However, now it is not just Unit 3, there will also be Unit 4 in the future.

The purpose of SEELE is another Mark.06.

"By the way, the United States should also have plans to manufacture an EVA." Commander Ikari suddenly thought of something.

Dongyue thought for a moment, and then said: "North American NERV does have another machine, the No. 7 machine, right? But it seems that the information about the No. 7 machine is only on paper. And as a means for us to keep five EVAs,

Right, haven’t they already sealed Unit 7’s plan?”

The Vatican Treaty limits the number of EVAs owned by each country to three, and among these, the United States has a total of manufacturing rights for Units 3, 4, and 7.

However, in order to allow NERV to use more EVA, the United States even stopped its own EVA production.

Even Dongyue and Commander Ikari were very surprised by this incident.

"Do you have any ideas about Unit 7?" Dongyue asked again.

"...No, I'm probably just overly concerned. I always feel that there is something wrong with the existence of Unit 7." Commander Ikari also has a pretty good sixth sense.

"Should we send someone to investigate?"

"No need, according to previous intelligence, the Americans have indeed completely stopped the No. 7 machine plan. Although they are still secretly conducting research on EVA, the actual construction has stopped."

Commander Ikari knew that if the investigation continued like this, there would probably be no results.

Americans simply don't know what to do.

But no matter how you think about it, their goals are extremely vulgar compared to the human completion plan, and there is no need to consider this at all.

"But Americans' technology is really good."

The tablet in front of me is also made by Americans.

Dongyue saw the logo on the tablet, with the three letters "ARK" on it.

"ARK, is it an ark? According to legend, there is also a Noah's ark. A large ship built according to God's instructions. According to the original theory, it is a square ship, but there are also many images and paintings depicting it as a ship-shaped ship.

, the purpose of its construction is to allow Noah, his family, and various land creatures in the world to escape a great flood disaster caused by God..."

Dongyue suddenly thought of something.

"It's just that it's not recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It seems to be a coincidence." Suddenly, Commander Ikari also frowned: "No... maybe it's not a coincidence."

If it was just a coincidence, then why did Yui reject the pilot of Unit 3?

Everything seems to have become complicated.

Americans continue to be under the gun...

…

"Huh, the basic construction is almost done. After figuring out the design of Unit 1, it will be more convenient for the following manufacturing."

After the experiment, Catherine came to the place where the fifth apostle was to start construction.

Using space capabilities, Catherine does not need to perform any cutting, welding, etc. work.

For Catherine, this couldn't be easier.

"I hope it can be completed before the Angel of Power comes. My Seraph... my... Unit 7..."

…

Keep up the moral integrity, hahahaha~

PS: Due to someone's interference, the serial number of EVA has changed, which is normal~
