The Collection of The End

——2016.5.13——

The garden of assembly.

Shinji Ikari was wandering around the campus, tallying up the intelligence collected so far on his mobile phone.

To use the "Angel Falls" plan to drag down the "angel", the key is not to find an unconscious body as a descending vessel, nor to find those formation materials in the mystical sense, and the meaning of placing them in various positions of the formation. The unknown holy relic is not very important. As for an AI that can control the overall situation and is not affected, it may be more important, but it is still not the core part.

The core of the whole plan is that there must be a person who will not be "crowded out" by other people's consciousness and can always remain himself.

This person's responsibility is to "return" everyone to their proper place one by one when their self-awareness has been replaced by each other and it is a mess.

The method of returning to position is "pair-pair-punch".

As the only person who retains the personality before "Angel Falls", as long as Shinji Ikari finds the matching "personality" and "body", and then puts them in the recovery circle, he will create a normal person and a person with a more distorted personality. great people.

Of course, this does not mean that things are more complicated. In fact, this recovery behavior is more like twisting a Rubik's cube. The more blocks that return to the correct position, the easier it is to recover the remaining parts, no matter how messy it looks.

The same is true for the "Angel Falls" plan. As long as the number of people who have been "restored" reaches a certain number, other people, even those who have not been in contact with them at all, will be carried back to themselves. In this way, they will be restored all the way to the end, and those who were pulled down will be After the "angel" loses its body, it will have to reveal its true body. Next, it is the work of Unit 1.

The difficulty of this kind of recovery is that it is not the common "Huh? This is not my body" plot in light novels. After everyone's "self-awareness" is replaced, they will still firmly believe that they are themselves. But behavioral patterns will radically change.

For example... Shinji Ikari briefly recalled what he had seen in the past few days.

"Sakura, there is another set of clothes here, put it on quickly and let me take pictures."

"Hmph, are you impressed by Yu's wonderful figure? This is natural."

"Light, don't pay attention to my stupid sister, and go conquer the world with me!"

This is Hikaru Toki, Sakura Suzuhara and Touji Suzuhara playing in the amusement park.

"Evil woman, come to a duel. The winner will be blessed with good governance! I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!"

"It's time for afternoon tea and reading, so you won't be able to accompany me."

"Hey, this is a game, but it's no joke."

This is Misato Katsuragi, Ritsuko Akagi and Ryoji Kaji who were quarreling at the EVA testing ground.

"I'm no longer a human being! Oh oh oh!"

"I want to surpass humans! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"This is the momentum! I will definitely get the job done today!"

This is Aoba Shigeru, Hyuga Makoto and Ibuki Maya who lost a lot of their jobs because their supervisors were arguing.

How should I put it, although it is strange, it subtly matches their usual performance.

Of course, there are also those that don’t look right at first sight, such as...

"Senior, good afternoon!"

"Oh, your real name. You haven't participated in club activities these days. I miss you a little."

"Hehe, senior, you should go and tell Ayanami-san about this. Telling me is a complete waste, right?"

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Training? I'm working hard to improve my attributes and synchronization rate so that I can better help my seniors in the future."

"Then come on."

"Oh, the scheduled special training time is coming, I'm so busy... Goodbye, senior!"

Tell me, this energetic and generous girl is Kirishima’s real name?

In addition to these people who may look a little weird but can still work and live normally, there are also situations where they cannot adapt, such as...

"Makiha-san? Are you here?"

"Alas!"

"No, you obviously asked me to come here, why are you so afraid?"

"Please, don't hit me..."

"...Why do you think so?"

"Because, because you obviously saved me, but I either beat or scolded you..."

"That was a long time ago."

"Yes, do you want to pay back the capital and profits..."

"Tell me why you were so cruel to me before, and I won't hit you."

"Because, because you treat me as someone else..."

"puff."

"Ah ah!"

Although it is not impossible for Ayanami-chan to continue teasing her in this state, after her personality switches back, she is afraid that she will take cruel revenge on herself, so she might as well forget about it.

From the current point of view, after the success of the Angel Fall Project, everyone Shinji Ikari knew had switched personalities. Many people in key positions caused some trouble because of mismatched personalities, but because of "Noah" Bottom line, things are generally quite controllable. By the way, it seems that "Magi" is confused about the current situation because he doesn't know about the plan. "Noah" is in a pretty happy mood - if an AI has such a thing as a mood. .

In addition, although it is not the main purpose, this plan proves from the side that human memory is based on the existence of the body. Because Eve always exists, Ayanami can retain the memory, and other people, including herself, because the body is reset, or If you say "formatting", you won't remember anything. At most, you will have a little "sense of déjà vu" like your father. As for the so-called "reincarnation in another world" in light novels, if it can really be realized, it will probably only lead to an indigenous character. Just a big change.

Hey, isn't that what you are doing?

Shinji Ikari shook his head and opened a communication software.

eva01: Noah? 】

Noah: Hey, has Shinji-chan found his matching personality? 】

eva01: I'm not sure yet, but I will give you a list later. You can use your authority to trick them into going for a physical examination and then try it together. You shouldn't go wrong too much. 】

Noah: I'm really troubling you, because human beings themselves are cunning and changeable. I can't judge who their current personality should originally belong to. I can only let you confirm one by one. After all, I am just an AI. 】

eva01: How is Ayanami doing? 】

Noah: If she were an ordinary person, I would declare her brain dead. How can a living person's brain waves be in a straight line? But since you said it was a hang-up, then just take it as true. 】

eva01: I still have to walk around the campus, so I’ll ask you to take care of her. 】

Noah: Don’t expect me to tell you, I have no interest in being a matchmaker. 】

That's not what you said when you always urged Ritsuko Akagi to get married!

Shinji Ikari stared at his phone, sent a list of classmates who might have had their personalities swapped during this period to Noah, and then closed the communication.

Ayanami hung up before the success of the "Angel Falls" plan, because the initial stage of this plan was like knocking down dominoes. Starting from Naoko Akagi, one personality after another was squeezed out of their original bodies, and then squeezed out others. If her consciousness is still blocked here, the first piece of the domino will not fall. After all, it is impossible for a cubic meter of cotton to squeeze out a cubic meter of iron.

So far, there is not much wrong with the overall plan, but there is still a loophole in the real key point, which is why the "Angel Falls" will cause the "Woven of Life" to no longer appear.

In Noah's words, they wrote a buggy program, and then the buggy program just happened to run and achieve the desired goal. Later, when they wanted to achieve the goal again, they did not consider how to eliminate the bug and improve the program. Deciding to use that bug directly would be a huge mistake.

In this regard, Shinji Ikari could only express his helplessness with his hands. There were no "pioneers" from other world lines to step on the thunder for them, and the arrival of the "Weave of Life" was imminent, so he had no time to plan and arrange calmly.

Let’s think about it slowly after this crisis has passed.

The preliminary guess is that although the "Angel" and the "Woven of Life" are very different in personality, they share a "quota". Regardless of whether they take the initiative or not, when one of them "comes down", the other will not be able to "come down" in the short term. "Advent", just like what is recorded in the "Dead Sea Script", only one apostle will appear at a time.

"Woo-wow--wow--]"

The piercing sirens interrupted Shinji Ikari's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw two ambulances driving into the campus with their overhead lights flashing.

how? Could it be that a certain chef in the school cafeteria was replaced by a chemist personality?

He stopped, turned on his phone and browsed through the school's forums and chat groups, and quickly figured out the whole story from the sudden explosion of messages.

Six students passed out after eating in the cafeteria. The cause has not yet been found. The principal of the school specifically requested all students who had eaten at such and such a time to undergo a detailed physical examination.

Hmm... Is this a plan to "deceive people into getting a physical examination" after getting the list and counting the common intersections of these students? It is worthy of the AI ​​that shoulders the important responsibility of the "Ark Project". It would be nice if the character was more reliable.

If nothing else goes wrong, this commotion should end in a ridiculous way without causing damage to the reputation of the Assemblage Garden. After all, she still holds the title of principal.

Of course, this is none of my business. Shinji Ikari shook his head and continued to observe the classmates he met on the road.

He didn't know every one of his classmates, let alone be familiar with their personalities, but he couldn't resist "someone" being familiar with them.

The female classmate in front of me obviously had a wrong personality. She was usually shy even holding hands, but now she dared to take the initiative to hold her boyfriend's hand.

Why do you think their relationship isn't progressing?

Idiot, look at the shocked look on that kid's face, right? This is not a personality problem, but that he has never had a girlfriend who was so proactive in his memory.

So now we’re looking for someone who’s shy about even holding hands?

That kind of personality is commonly called social fear, right? Can you find it on campus?

It's not a social fear. If I remember correctly, I should be able to find the guy who inherited her personality in the library.

That's good, let's go see if there are any people who will never appear in the library.

Wait, wait, let's go to the stadium over there first. I know a few guys who are good at sports. If you're not there...

How should I put it, if everyone has a split personality, then wouldn’t I look normal?
