I really can't control myself

"...Anyway, you suspect that he has something that can increase the learning speed, and is he still using it for Rei Ayanami?" The person who asked the question at this time was Ikari Gendo, and of course the person who reported the work in front of him at this time It’s Misato Katsuragi.

Ikari Gendo had no choice but to ask Misato Katsuragi to report to work. Although Linton didn't care about the people following him when he went out, the people who monitored his home were really in bad luck. Everyone in the group was directly turned into dogs by Linton, and Ikari Yuantang also found someone to try this hypnosis technique, but he still hasn't been able to crack it.

He probably understands Linton's bottom line now. It's obvious that he doesn't want to be watched at home. If he doesn't stop monitoring, the entire intelligence department will probably become a doghouse.

Originally, Misato Katsuragi, the official surveillance officer, was indeed exposed to Linton, but he didn't expect that she would actually be asked to report the situation now. Ikari Gendo is also having a headache now.

Yes, this guy Linton really made him feel trouble. He had spent a lot of time with Linton these days. He obviously had his own plans and didn't want to be distracted elsewhere, but Linton had to distract him.

This person is also weird. Their NERV and SEELE intelligence can't find any information about him, as if this person has never been in this world before. Therefore, the investigation into him can be said to have made no progress. So far, they have not obtained any useful information about Linton, let alone understanding the other party's purpose.

Not to mention that he didn't have any bargaining chips with the other party, and this guy still caused trouble for himself from time to time. This guy was definitely outside of Ikari Yuantang's plan, which made him a little worried that this guy would hinder his plan. He doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't dare to provoke others, and he likes to make trouble. There is no one more troublesome than him.

Rather than using it, Ikari Yuantang now thinks more about Linton's non-existence. After all, his original plan has been planned for more than ten years, and there would be no problems. Linton is more like a troublemaker.

And SEELE here seems to have some intentions towards Linton. Although Ikari Yuantang is using SEELE to achieve his own goals and is not the same person as them, but now it is obvious that he cannot fall out with the other party, so these days God, he felt really bad.

"Yes." Misato Katsuragi here reported the situation very normally, including her own guesses and judgments. "No matter how you think about it, the learning progress is too fast. I tried to learn what he said. Magic can't even do the first step of extracting a kind of energy called chakra from the body, but Rei said it only took an hour to complete it. He explained that it was talent, but I think some question."

"The same applies to my previous cooking studies. In three days, Rei went from not knowing how to cook to becoming a chef comparable to a chef in a high-end restaurant. This degree cannot be explained by talent or anything else." Misato Katsuragi continued. , "In short, whether it's learning cooking or magic, he is advancing Li's progress. He obviously wants her to learn it, but I still can't judge his purpose."

"Hmm..." Ikari Yuantang nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Then how far has Rei reached now?"

"I was at the base yesterday. If I had been there the day before yesterday, Rei was breathing fire." Misato Katsuragi thought for a while and said.

"Spray fire?" Ikari Yuantang was stunned for a moment.

"It's... Phew, this kind of fire breathing." Katsuragi Misato said.

"..." Ikari Gendo looked at Misato Katsuragi speechlessly, and then imagined the scene of Rei Ayanami breathing fire. I don't know why I always feel that the style of painting in this world is a little distorted.

At this time, 6 days had passed since Linton said he started practicing magic. During this period, Linton rarely went out, except for coming to the base to say hello to Asuna, who was probably his subordinate from the scientific research department. There was no other action, and Ayanami Rei didn't go out for 6 days, and of course she didn't go to school. In the end, she asked NERV to say hello to the school without using any clones.

According to Misato Katsuragi, Linton said before that he only had one week to take leave. Does this probably mean that Linton would prepare for Rei Ayanami to learn magic in one week? But Katsuragi Misato also said that she saw Ayanami Rei breathing fire two days ago. Doesn't this count as learning, but it seems that the training is not over yet. Ikari Yuantang is now a little curious about what is going on.

He is also a little confused about what to do next. Unit Zero is ready, but Rei Ayanami still needs to come back to drive it. This week is up, and he should talk to Linton again after seeing the results.

"Then you continue..." Ikari Gendo was about to tell Katsuragi Misato to continue monitoring, but suddenly the alarm sounded, and a red color appeared on the screen next to him.

"What's the matter?" Ikari Yuantang pressed a button on the table and asked.

"A suspicious flying object was captured and the category of the flying object is currently being determined."

"Apostle?" Misato Katsuragi immediately got into work mode.

"It should be..." Ikari Yuantang said, and then thought for a moment, "Let Unit 1 prepare for dispatch."

"Where's Unit Zero?" Misato Katsuragi asked.

"The debugging test has not been completed yet. It can only be used as a backup at the moment." Ikari Yuantang said. Naturally, Ayanami Rei has no time to make adjustments in the past few days, so although Unit Zero is usable, it must be used directly. We are just afraid of a sudden loss of control like before, so of course we can't take action unless we have to.

"I understand, I will find a way." Katsuragi Misato said.

Shinji Ikari's driving training has gone very smoothly these days. Shinji Ikari is obviously no longer the rookie driver who had trouble walking in the last two games. He has become very proficient in basic movements. Of course, being a warrior does not happen overnight. He can indeed initially control Unit 1, but he is essentially just a junior high school student.

"The image is captured optically." When Misato Katsuragi came to the command room, the other party's appearance happened to be displayed on the screen. This is a blue diamond-shaped cube floating in the air moving from the sea to the inland. The speed is not very fast. It was much slower than the previous Pipi Shrimp, but it gave people a rather bad feeling. , this thing doesn’t even look like a living thing. The more incomprehensible something is, the more troublesome it is.

Although they didn't know the situation about the previous Pipi Shrimp, they could at least analyze some possibilities of it attacking with claws or the like, and they could also clearly see the opponent's weakness, where the S2 mechanism was exposed. But now with this blue cube, it is completely impossible to judge the situation of the opponent, and the attack method is also unimaginable. It can be said that we can only adapt to changes.

"The analysis type is blue, confirmed to be an apostle."

"The target has just passed Lake Ashi and is expected to reach the city in 12 minutes."

"Shinji-kun, are you ready?" Misato Katsuragi asked into the earpiece. Today happened to be a training day, and Shinji Ikari came here for training after class, so he was there as soon as possible.

"Okay, ah...well, I'm ready." Shinji Ikari replied.

"Unit No. 1 is ready to attack." Misato Katsuragi ordered directly.

"The holder is unlocked and Unit 1 is launched."

The ejection device was launched, and Unit 1 rushed directly to the ground. At this time, the apostles here were still several kilometers away from the city, but the apostles who were slowly drifting towards this side suddenly changed the moment Unit 1 appeared on the ground.

"A high-energy reaction occurs inside the target." The staff here suddenly shouted anxiously.

"What?" Misato Katsuragi looked directly at the screen next to her, her expression changed, and she immediately shouted: "Shinji-kun, get out of the way!"

"Ah?" Shinji Ikari obviously didn't know what was going on. Besides, he had just ejected and the fixed lock hadn't been opened yet. At this time, the apostle here suddenly changed in shape. The blue cube suddenly twisted and turned into a strange funnel shape. At this time, the familiar S2 mechanism was also seen in the center of its interior.

"Get away!" Misato Katsuragi shouted again.

With a "ding", a huge beam of light shot directly from the core of the apostle in the next second, and the target was of course the Unit 1 that appeared. The No. 1 unit here had no reaction time at all and was directly hit in the chest by the light.

At this time, a row of high-rise buildings that had been shot through exploded and collapsed in front of them, and at the same time, Shinji Ikari's painful screams came from the radio in the command room.

"The synchronization rate is starting to decrease!"

"Shinji-kun!" Misato Katsuragi shouted anxiously, and then shouted to the staff next to her, "Raise the defensive wall."

The ground in front of Unit 1 opened up, and a metal wall suddenly lifted up, blocking the path of the light. This time, it successfully blocked the light attack.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the apostle here transformed again, this time directly into the shape of a cross.

"The energy response in the target body is increased."

Of course, Misato Katsuragi knew that the apostle here was about to launch a stronger attack, and shouted again: "Shinji-kun, dodge quickly!"

"Ah...ah..." However, the first blow had already injured Shinji Ikari. How could he react so quickly?

There was a "ding", and sure enough, the next second, the apostles sprayed out more powerful light, directly hitting the No. 1 unit here. This was obviously much more exaggerated than the attack just now. Everyone could probably guess that such an attack and defense The wall can't stop it at all.

However, at this critical moment, an orange door suddenly opened in mid-air in front of Unit 1. Everyone was stunned when they saw this door, because this scene was very familiar, but this time it was not just Linton who came out, but two.

"The surprise exam is here." Linton held Ayanami Rei in one hand and said, "Come on."

After saying that, Linton let go and actually threw Ayanami Rei directly from the sky. You must know that this place is at least thirty meters above the ground, a dozen floors high. However, Ayanami Rei here not only did not feel nervous, but calmly formed a seal in the air: "Psychic Technique. Triple Rashomon!"
