Chapter 180 Men Can’t Say No

The Terror Angel is an apostle formed by the aggregation of many tiny molecules that are invisible to the naked eye, but it is not a social creature, but an aggregated consciousness body with a single consciousness that controls those tiny molecules.

And that consciousness has been annihilated in MAGI by Ritsuko Akagi using super-speed evolution. The eleventh apostle even has his soul turned into nothingness at the end of evolution.

The main body of the Terror Angel in MAGI is completely annihilated, but the tiny molecules that remain in Unit 0 and are physically separated still exist.

They are like arms and organs cut off from the brain. Although the brain is burned, they still retain a certain vitality.

Under normal circumstances, no one can control them.

The Terror Angel molecules that have lost their core and main consciousness have stopped all activities, and even the instinct to survive has disappeared. Soon they will be disassembled into even smaller molecules and elements from the microscopic level.

But Ian is an exception. He can connect with these "ownerless things".

He stretched out his hand and pressed on the leg armor of Unit 0. With his eyes closed, he could sense those faint light spots.

These microscopic creatures no longer had the AT force field that hindered his connection, and he took over these little guys.

A few minutes later, a thin nano-level biological layer condensed in his palm.

He named these molecules "Angel Molecules". Since the soul of the eleventh apostle had been annihilated, they lost the AT force field and the function of evolution, but the ability that had evolved was still retained.

They can imitate electronic circuits under Ian's will, and can also invade things such as EVA and MAGI that are controlled by electronic components.

More importantly: they also have S2 mechanisms themselves.

Unlike the behemoth weighing several tons under Ian's feet, these tiny lives like dust also have a "heart" that draws energy from the Dirac Sea.

Third New Tokyo City, ground.

Asuka and Shinji got on Unit-01 and Unit-02 to recycle EVA.

Unit-0 is temporarily unusable. Many of its internal components are burned, and there are malfunctions and problems in the power supply system and control system.

The damaged Unit-0 was recovered by Ritsuko Akagi and taken to the repair room.

The armor of Unit-0 was dismantled and soaked in the nutrient solution of LCL.

It was a transparent soaking room, and Asuka and Shinji could see the internal structure of Unit-0 through the glass.

Unit-0 was recovered with the help of Unit-01 and Unit-02, so Shinji and Asuka were in the repair room.

"Is this the true face of EVA?" Asuka stood on the iron bridge, staring at Unit-0 without its disguise: "It's just a terrible monster"

Unit-0's flesh and blood squirmed in the LCL, and the weird limbs and protruding bones made Asuka shiver all over.

So she was driving this kind of thing?

"I saw it when Unit 4 was built." Shinji Ikari recalled the scene in the belly of the fish angel: "The head and chest of Unit 4 were bitten off, and there was a lot of blood, just like a human head was bitten off."

"In a sense, Shinji, you are right." Ritsuko Akagi put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and looked up at the huge eyeballs of Unit 0: "We humans are actually apostles, the eighteenth apostle, Lilin, this is human beings."

"Human beings are the life bred by the second apostle Lilith. We and the apostles have the same origin."

"It's really strange, I feel a little disgusting." Asuka hugged her chest and shivered.

"Can Unit 0 be repaired by soaking it in LCL?" Shinji asked.

"The physiological structure will grow back soon, but the electronic control module and power output module need to be replaced and reinstalled." Ritsuko Akagi said: "I hope there are still parts left, otherwise, Unit 0 can only be declared scrapped."

"Scrapped? What do you mean?" Asuka frowned: "If my Unit 2 is damaged, wouldn't it be impossible to repair it?"

"It's possible." Ritsuko Akagi nodded: "NERV is different now, so Asuka, Shinji, you have to take better care of EVA."

The incident of the Terror Angel came to an end.

Shinji went to school in that middle school as usual, with other classmates.

Since the Japanese Self-Defense Force took over Tokyo, Ritsuko Akagi revealed what she knew about the departments deployed by SEELE in the Third New Tokyo City.

For example, the middle school where Shinji, Asuka and Rei Ayanami attended was a school founded by the Marduk Organization to accommodate EVA pilots.

Today, this school is still preserved.

The Self-Defense Force also doesn't want these children who may become EVA pilots to run around, after all, there are more than three EVAs in the world.

In addition to Unit-0, Unit-01 and Unit-02, Unit-03 has actually been built, but it has not been transported to the Third New Tokyo City, and it will not be transported here in the future.

Unit-04 was destroyed, but there are still Unit-05 and Unit-06 under construction. These are only the EVAs that all members of the United Nations know about on the surface. Whether SEELE still has EVAs in stock behind the scenes is unknown to outsiders.

If these children are allowed to leave, they may be seen on the battlefield one day.

Shinji sat in the classroom, listening to the teacher's lecture.

What he thought absentmindedly was that the school was just an "institution" to manage these children, giving them something to do. His future had nothing to do with his academic performance. Perhaps humans had no future at all.

It's been several days since his mother's death anniversary. This year, Ian went with him to lay flowers on his mother's tombstone. He had a very vague impression of his mother. She died when he was very young, and he only remembered her mother's arms. It's very warm inside and I miss you very much.

"Then this class ends here. Today is Tuesday. During the lunch break, everyone will clean up the classroom. You will be responsible for the monitor." The teacher packed up the textbooks.

"Okay, teacher!" The monitor with freckles and two braids raised his hand.

After lunch, Shinji cleaned up with his classmates.

Because it was a general cleaning, all the desks were piled in the corner, and the benches were turned upside down on the desks.

Shinji, who was sweeping the floor, was suddenly stunned.

He stared at Ayanami Rei's back. Ayanami Rei was wringing water out of the rag. That kind of movement

Although Shinji couldn't even remember his mother's face, for some reason he felt familiar with Ayanami Rei.

"What are you looking at? Idiot Shinji?" Asuka had the word "gossip" written on her face.

"No, it's not!" Shinji blushed: "I just think Ayanami is very similar to my mother."

Ayanami Rei stopped twisting the rag. She heard the commotion behind her and turned her head.

"No, Ayanami!" Shinji tried to explain: "That, that's it. I think Ayanami's movements of twisting the rag are very gentle. Maybe Ayanami is very suitable to be a housewife, hahaha."

Shinji scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

After hearing this, Ayanami Rei suddenly turned around: "What are you talking about?"

"Yeah, idiot Shinji." Asuka laughed loudly: "If you say girls are suitable to be housewives, then who should be a housewife? Does that mean you want to marry someone else? Hahaha."

The students burst into laughter. They were not aware of the changes that had taken place in NERV and SEELE, and thought that they were just ordinary middle school students.

Everyone laughed without any pressure and started to cheer.

Ayanami Rei's face was slightly red and she went outside to clean the windows. Shinji simply stopped talking and swept the floor.

After school in the afternoon, Ian drove up to pick them up.

Ian has obtained a driver's license approved by the Japanese government. On Parade Island, he has driven airplanes, ships, and old-fashioned cars and trains, such as fighter jets and tanks that are too high-tech. He couldn't drive it without knowing how to operate it, but he could still quickly learn to drive a four-wheeled vehicle.

Ian took the three of them to NERV headquarters for daily synchronization rate testing.

EVA is a very powerful weapon against SEELE. It can play a key role in most battlefields, so maintain it as much as possible.

The general repair of Unit Zero has also been completed.

"Shinji has the highest synchronization rate again." Ritsuko Akagi looked at the synchronization rate data: "Since Shinji came back, the synchronization rate has not dropped."

After the test, Shinji came out of the insertion bolt.

After changing his clothes, he found Rei Ayanami in the lounge.

"Um, Ayanami, I'm sorry I didn't mean it during the day." Shinji hesitated.

"Then what do you mean?" Asuka, who had just come out, seemed to be watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

Ayanami Rei stared at Shinji's face, as if waiting for him to say something like three, seven, twenty-one.

"That's right. I just think Ayanami Rei is very gentle." Shinji lowered his head and said, "I'm really grateful to Ayanami. You gave me courage."

"Hey, you idiot Shinji, are you saying that you are confessing your love?" Asuka asked.

"That's not true!" Shinji retorted.

"But those words sound a lot like saying I like you." Asuka tied up her hair: "Right, top student?"

"Yes." Ayanami Rei nodded and said quietly.

"What! JA launched an attack on the Japanese team? When, Mr. Kaji?" Ian held the phone in his hand.

"Just ten minutes ago." Fierce gunshots could be heard from Kaji Ryoji's side: "SEELE actually never gave up on JA. When they started investigating you and me, that is, two months ago, they even stepped up their efforts. In order to provide financial assistance to JA, we used our own factory to manufacture parts for JA. Together with the trial machine for the press conference, a total of three JA’s were manufactured and are now attacking the team’s military base!”

"I guess SEELE wants to weaken the Japanese team's combat power as much as possible. I'm afraid they have already started planning to attack Japan."

"During this period, we have received very little response from the international community. SEELE's energy is too great. If this continues, it may develop into a world war." Kaji Ryoji sighed: "Sorry, can Can you help me contact Misato? I have something to say to her."

"JA is powered by nuclear power and has the function of self-destruction. I'm afraid that if I can't speak out, I will never be able to speak out."

"Mr. Jiji." Ian looked solemn.

He handed over the matter of contacting Misato to Ritsuko Akagi, and asked his team to urgently arrange a helicopter to rush to the battlefield with the S2 agency.

Only he and EVA can stop JA at this time. After all, JA is a weapon made to match EVA. Although it does not have an AT force field, it is even more destructive than EVA. It is a mobile nuclear bomb.

At the military base of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, three JAs are wreaking havoc.

(JA picture)

Like EVA, they are 50-meter-high behemoths equipped with various weapons, and can crush hangars and military garages into pieces with one foot.

The Self-Defense Forces are in a difficult situation. If they attack them, they will explode. If they do not attack, they can only abandon all the weapons, data and equipment in the base and escape, and then destroy them with violent weapons.

But in that case, the research laboratories and military factories built nearby at a high cost will also be destroyed.

"Ritsuko, is there a way to shut down these JAs, like you did before?" Ryoji Kaji asked.

"We used MAGI to hack into JA's main computing computer in advance, but now, we don't know who is commanding these JAs, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless we can enter JA's power room and let MAGI connect directly to the control system there, then there may be a way."

"I know." Kaji Ryoji nodded: "Misato, you are my lucky goddess, just wish me good luck this time."

"Kajji, what are you going to do!" Misato asked.

"I am a man." Kaji Ryoji's hand trembled as he lit a cigarette: "Men, if they say no at a critical moment, they will be laughed at."

"Ritsuko, I will help you connect to JA's control system, and the rest is up to you."

"I know."

"No, Kaji, listen to me this time, give up!"

Misato personally experienced the same thing as Kaji Ryoji. At that time, she manually stopped JA, and the commander of NERV controlled the crazy JA, which won a lot of reputation for NERV at the time.

However, she didn't know it at that time, and she really went there with the determination to die. She knew how terrible it was, and she didn't want to lose important people like she lost her father fifteen years ago.

"Wish me good luck, okay?" Kaji Ryoji had already put on a bulletproof suit.

Misato was silent for a while, and said almost tremblingly: "Wish you good luck. And I love you."

"I love you too." Kaji hung up the phone.

He got on the helicopter and headed to the sky.

At that time, Misato was the first unit to open the hatch of the power room of JA. Now there is no first unit, but there are self-defense forces, which can use small remote-controlled mines to blow up the power room.

The Japanese self-defense forces assisted him in opening the power room of a JA, and he flew down with a parachute and broke in safely.

With his rich experience and computer technology, he found the control system and connected it.

Ritsuko received the signal, and MAGI transferred the instructions in the JA control system.

"The system will explode in thirty seconds, 30, 29, 28, 27"

Ritsuko lost all her strength: "Impossible. Thirty seconds, even anti-intrusion detection is impossible"

Misato burst into tears, covered her mouth, and looked at the countdown helplessly.

Ryoji Kaji also got the news from Ritsuko, and smiled with relief: "Sure enough, my luck is not good enough."

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"

However, the expected explosion did not happen, but all the control systems of JA went black and stopped.

Ian arrived at the scene. He was dropped from the helicopter, but he did not transform into a huge apostle. Instead, he created a crystal transmission channel at the fastest speed.

He transmitted the "angel molecule" to the inside of JA. For the eleventh apostle, it didn't take even a second to invade such a purely mechanical creation. The super artificial intelligence MAGI couldn't last more than a minute in front of it.

He turned off all JAs arbitrarily and unreasonably, and directly captured the control circuits of these guys.

Ryoji Kaji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heartbeat soaring.

Misato also saw the scene and stopped crying.

But the next moment, MAGI sounded the alarm again.

A huge black ball suddenly appeared in the sky above Tokyo-3.

(I feel like I’m not stuck after holding it in for a while)
