I really can't control myself

Below the combat position, the personnel who were previously in the NERV command room were gradually withdrawn from inside. Yes, the previous battle has affected the command room. Half of the entire command room has collapsed and the personnel must be evacuated. Of course, there is no technology in combat yet, and most of the staff are still working with laptops.

"Shinji-kun." Misato Katsuragi looked at Unit-00 not far away and murmured, "Why...are you back."

The appearance of Shinji Ikari was indeed unexpected by no one. Misato Katsuragi also thought that the other party should have left the Third New Tokyo City. However, she did not expect that just now, when Unit-01 could not be started using the puppet system, Shinji Ikari It appeared directly in the hangar.

I don’t know what he realized, but Shinji Ikari, who always likes to escape, took the initiative to ask to pilot Unit 1 this time. The situation outside at this time is still anxious. Although Unit 2 and three humans (?) are fighting against the apostles, the entire underground space will be destroyed because of this fight. Although the apostles here seem to be suppressed at the moment, the apostles' goal is not to defeat Unit 2. The danger is Lilith below.

In short, the apostle must be dealt with quickly no matter what. With Commander Ikari's approval, Shinji Ikari once again boarded Unit 1. But before the No. 1 unit was fully activated, a huge explosion sounded, and the entire command room exploded. It was caused by the apostle's attack on the No. 2 unit.

Many staff members who had not had time to evacuate were directly buried by the collapse caused by the explosion. Before the No. 1 unit here could be launched, the top was directly blown through, and what you can see above is the position of the apostles.

When Shinji Ikari saw the situation, he stepped forward and hugged the apostle without saying a word. He didn't know who was driving Unit 2, but it must be a teammate. He shouted directly: "Pilot of Unit 2, do it quickly. !”

"Here we come!" Makiha took a step forward and rushed towards the apostle's position again, aiming at the Amanuma spear inserted in its chest. If he pushed it inward a little further, he might be able to penetrate the core and finish off the opponent. . However, the apostle who must have felt the threat here was also making a final struggle, aiming at the position of the No. 2 machine, his eyes flashing.

With a "bang", a laser penetrated directly through the head of Unit 2. Even with the protection of the powerful Susanoo, half of Unit 2's face was blown off. Linton, who was standing on the nose of No. 2 aircraft, was thrown away by the explosive bomb. Of course, he was just thrown away. He was not injured. However, the powerful Susanoo here also dissipated at this time.

Makiha, who controlled Unit 2, screamed, and Unit 2 slipped directly in front of the apostle, falling forward and rolling in a circle.

"Pilot of Unit 2!" Shinji Ikari shouted anxiously. Unexpectedly, he still had time to care about the pilot of Unit 2 whom he didn't know, because just when his attention was focused on the front, The apostle who was held by him slowly turned around and looked at him.

Yes, the body of the apostle here is very strange. When he was hugged by Unit 1, he twisted his body very strangely, and looked directly at Unit 1 with a face that looked like a ghost mask. Suddenly Fear surrounded Shinji Ikari in Unit-1.

But at this moment, Shinji Ikari also saw the spear stuck in the opponent's chest. Since Unit 2 was knocked down, he had no choice but to do it himself. He raised his hand and was about to attack, but at this moment, the apostle in front of him suddenly changed again.

I saw the core of its chest twisting for a while, and then before Shinji Ikari could react at all, its mask-like mouth suddenly opened and spit out a long tube full of fangs, just like the opposite sex. It was like a second mouth, and the second mouth that spit out suddenly expanded after it came out, and quickly became extremely huge. And the next second, this mouth opened directly and bit the No. 1 unit in front.

Shinji Ikari here didn't react at all. He just suddenly felt that the screen in front of him went black, and then he seemed to suddenly be unable to see anything. Before he could react, a large number of mixed emotions suddenly came from all directions. It was not the first time that he felt such a situation, and he suddenly understood that this was a situation similar to mental pollution.

The situation that people outside saw was completely different, because they just saw the apostle here spit out his mouth, and then swallowed the Unit 1 in front of him whole with one mouthful. Yes, it was very unscientific. Swallowed in one second, the huge body of Unit-000 suddenly disappeared completely after being swallowed again, and the apostle immediately sucked back the spit. From a scientific point of view, such a large Unit-1 cannot be digested in seconds even with the strongest digestive juice. Of course, this world is obviously not a scientific world.

And this was just the beginning. After the opponent swallowed Unit 1, the apostle's form also changed. Previously, the opponent's body was made up of a large number of bandages. Except for the bandages on his arms, almost the entire body was covered with bandages. When floating in the air, you can clearly see that the position of the body is empty.

But after devouring Unit 1, the opponent's body suddenly changed. A huge sarcoma-like thing suddenly grew under the body, and then quickly changed to look like a human body. Now the feeling of the entire apostle has changed. Before, it was more like a monster, but now it is more like a person with a huge weird headgear.

"It's impossible to actually swallow EVA." Of course, everyone who had just moved outside also saw this scene, and they were all shocked by what they saw.

"Shinji-kun!" Misato Katsuragi screamed. Everyone else cared about EVA, but she was the first to care about Shinji Ikari.

"Strange, the apostle's identification signal has become Unit 1." This is the staff member who was operating a laptop to monitor the situation and said in surprise.

"What? I see, this way, even if it enters the dogma area, it will not explode there. Is this the plan?" Ritsuko Akagi said immediately, "This is bad, no one can stop it from touching Lilith."

"This... you are wrong." Suddenly a voice came from the side, startling everyone here, but when everyone turned their heads, they saw Linton walking towards this side.

"Linton!" Misato Katsuragi said more anxiously when she saw Linton, "Didn't you say you would save them? Why did you watch Shinji-kun being eaten by the apostles?"

"I was really trying to stop him. I wasn't the one who asked him to get on Unit 1 again." Linton said, "It doesn't seem like it was anyone else. It should have been his own request."

This left Misato Katsuragi with nothing to say. It was indeed Shinji Ikari who requested to drive the EVA. After thinking about it, she said anxiously: "Then can you save him?"

"Can you stop that guy? If it touches Lilith, the world will end." Ritsuko Akagi next to her also said.

"Sorry, I'm not as easy to deceive as you think." Linton said with a smile, "You said the apostle wants to touch Lilith? What will happen if you let him touch Lilith? I don't think so, right? After all, the apostle’s goal from the beginning was not Lilith.”

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

"The goal of all the apostles at the beginning is to return to Adam. The Lilith below you mentioned was not their goal from the beginning. There is nothing wrong with this. The only people who can stop it from touching Lilith are themselves, because they I didn't plan to do that from the beginning." Linton said, spreading his hands.

"What are you...what are you talking about? In that case, the third impact will not happen from the beginning? In this case, why should we defend against the apostles' attack? Why do they come here, if Lilith is not theirs? As for the target, wouldn't it be strange for them to attack here?" Misato Katsuragi asked.

"The apostles were also deceived. Of course they didn't know that the person below was not Adam. They just felt the breath and rushed here mindlessly. After all, the intelligence of the apostles is just that." Linton said, "As for what you said The third impact of course exists, but not much is known about the triggering method, am I right, Commander Ikari Yuantang?"

Linton said while turning in one direction. Everyone also turned their heads, and saw Ikari Yuantang slowly walking out of the shadows.

"Ikari...Commander?" Misato Katsuragi looked at Gendo Ikari in surprise, "Is what he said true? What is it that you have been hiding?"

"..." Ikari Gendo did not answer Katsuragi Misato, but looked at Linton, "So...who are you? What is your purpose?"

"Before, there was really no purpose." Linton said, but now, I came to you specifically because I really need your help with something. Linton said.

"What?" Ikari Yuantang asked.

"Can you lend me the thing on your right hand?" Linton said with a smile, "Although it is a theatrical version, that thing may have something to do with Adam. It is most likely to be a valuable item, and it cannot be compared with it. The apostle has nothing to do with it. Anyway, can you lend it to me? After all, it’s the last moment.”

Ikari Yuantang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Linton's purpose to be this. But this Nebuchadnezzar's Key is the key to his plan. Without it, he would not be able to lead mankind to complete the plan, so of course it is impossible to give it to Linton.

"What do you mean by theatrical version and valuables?" Ikari Yuantang asked, but Linton felt that the other party did not really want to know the answer, but was stalling for time.

"Wait, you two..." Misato Katsuragi next to her was about to say something, but suddenly the staff member on the other side who had been observing the computer spoke up.

"The signal of EVA unit No. 1 has been detected...wait a minute, what's going on with this value? It's all over the top, and the synchronization rate is over 400%? It's undetectable. What's going on?"

Before he could finish speaking, the apostle over there who had just swallowed Unit 1 suddenly began to twitch. Something seemed to be moving around in his body, and the scene began to become a little weird.
