Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

"I don't believe you."

The answer was very calm and composed, as if without any emotion, and was simply stating a fact.

This answer makes people feel that it is Xiao Yun who is anxious now.

"I don't need you to believe me." Xiao Yun laughed and said, "There are only two options before you. First, just sit back and watch the apostle approach here. Second, hand over the EVA to me to deal with the apostle."

"Where's the child?"

"The third qualified person?" Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "Of course he is in my hands, but I won't hand him over."

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone could hear that Xiao Yun was thinking of taking the so-called third qualified person as a hostage.

Misato Katsuragi opened her eyes wide and wanted to say something but she couldn't get rid of Lingyi's restraints at all. Even her mouth was tightly blocked and she could only make whimpering sounds.

On the other side, Commander Ikari Gendo was looking at the group of people on the screen who were covered tightly in combat uniforms. He stared through the screen at the figure holding the communicator and frowned slightly.

He didn't know what was happening and had no way of finding the most suitable solution for the current situation. He had just learned about the disappearance of Shinji Ikari and Misato Katsuragi not long ago, and then he found someone breaking into the passage leading to the NERV base. He originally thought that the force he sent out was enough to deal with this group of people and bring Misato Katsuragi back, but who would have thought that the other side only had three people to deal with their soldiers.

The extraordinary skills, the incomprehensible combat uniforms, the incomprehensible technology, the origins of this group of people made Ikari Gendo deeply puzzled. The shock in his heart was completely different from the calm expression on his face.

The pupils behind the glasses flickered, and his eyes turned to the Apostle Water Angel who had regained his ability to move and was still heading in this direction under fire. After a moment of silence, he said, "I can't trust you, and I can't hand over the EVA to people of unknown origin like you. I don't know any opposition organization that has the technological capabilities of you."

Xiao Yun sneered, "You are just surprised by what you have seen. No wonder this woman has so many problems and such a short-sighted vision. It is true that like bosses determine like employees. You are not the only ones who want to save humanity. We just have different paths. We do not agree with your way and want to use our own way to save humanity. What happened today was just an accident and a coincidence. No matter what we did before, no one wants to trigger the Third Impact."

"Haha, is that so?" Ikari Gendō laughed calmly and said, "Let's believe that you are on the side of humans, but not everyone can drive an EVA. If you want to solve the current problem, the most important thing you should do is to send back the people you took away."

"Then it looks like we can't communicate." Xiao Yun pulled out his pistol and pointed it directly at the bound Katsuragi Misato, causing the woman's movements to stiffen and she dared not make any more rash moves. "If the negotiations break down, the hostages will be useless. We'll withdraw and you can play by yourselves."

Xiao Yun was really ready to pull the trigger without hesitation. Misato Katsuragi's only role was to lead them to find the way in. Now that this role is gone, she naturally cannot be kept. What's more, Misato Katsuragi also knows that Shinji Ikari is dead. Xiao Yun can't let Misato Katsuragi tell this matter. After getting rid of Misato Katsuragi, the next step will be to occupy NERV by force.

"Wait a moment."

Ikari Gendo's voice suddenly sounded: "You can come in, I can give you a chance."

Xiao Yun looked towards a camera above his head and raised his eyebrows: "Changed my mind."

Ikari Gendō said calmly, "The current situation really is such that we cannot continue the meaningless conflict between us. If you cannot activate the EVA, then have your people send the third qualified person back."

"Okay." Xiao Yun smiled and looked at No. 1 and said, "Take this woman away with you, and No. 2 will assist you."

No. 1 nodded and grabbed Katsuragi Misato from Rei's hands, and quickly retreated to the rear with No. 2. Gradually, the three of them completely disappeared from the sight of others.

"Optical camouflage technology, your technical capabilities are indeed not to be underestimated."

"Save the compliments for later." Xiao Yun threw the communicator away and continued to move forward quickly with the rest of the people. There were green lights on the side of the road indicating the direction of movement for Xiao Yun and the others.

Not long after, Xiao Yun appeared on a plank road. In addition to a few people in white coats standing here, there was also a girl lying on a hospital bed. The girl was wrapped in bandages all over her body and had an expressionless face.

On the right side of Xiao Yun was the purple Unit-01. It was quite shocking to see this thing up close. Xiao Yun had never seen a machine of this size before. Moreover, Xiao Yun knew that this thing was not a robot at all, but more like an alternative apostle, a man-made apostle.

A middle-aged man in a white coat came up to Xiao Yun, stretched out his hand and handed him something like a hairpin.

"Brain wave synchronization device?" Xiao Yun took it and looked at it, then raised his head to look at the many figures behind a viewing window: "Let's get started."

Ikari Gendo's voice rang out through the loudspeaker: "If you fail, you may die. Even so, are you unwilling to bring the person back?"

"The person who can kill me hasn't appeared yet." Xiao Yun turned the thing in his hand and said, "It's time to start."

Behind the observation window, a woman in a white coat looked at Ikari Gendo beside her and said, "Commander, do you really want to let someone of unknown origin enter EVA?"

"What can we do now?" Ikari Gendō frowned slightly, his mind full of thoughts but expressionless as he said, "They are just three people and they wiped out our entire combat team. They were also able to break through our firewall and get in without us knowing. If these dozen people were to occupy by force, we would not be able to stop them. Besides, this is the only option now."

"What are you whispering about?"

Ikari Gendo and Akagi Ritsuko immediately saw a black figure outside the observation window. The height from here to the lowest ground was dozens of meters, so how could this person appear outside the window?

"Hurry up." Xiao Yun waved his hands impatiently, and said unhappily through a window: "If we continue to waste time like this, can you afford the consequences?"

Akagi Ritsuko looked at the figure emitting green light particles in surprise, and turned around with a strong desire in her eyes: "Everyone, get ready and enter combat mode."

Xiao Yun turned around and flew away, landing on top of Unit-01. He reached out and touched the big horns on Unit-01's head. The purple armor all over the body was Unit-01's armor but it was also some kind of restraint device. This thing was a replica of the Angel and a combination of human precision electronic technology and biotechnology. It was very valuable.

In fact, Xiao Yun didn’t know whether he could drive this thing, but since it was operated by brain waves, then there wouldn’t be any problem. This was how the Giant God was operated, so there was no problem in operating it.

The problem is the qualifications. Without the qualifications, you may not be able to fly the machine even if you can operate it.

As for spiritual pollution, Xiao Yun was not worried at all. He was the only one who polluted others and it was impossible for anything else to pollute him. With his soul like mud, how bad could it be at worst?

Xiao Yun looks crazy but he is actually very confident in his heart. Even if it is an apostle, so what? Even if there is a soul hidden in Unit-01, so what?

As long as they are in sync with him mentally and maintain a connection with him, except for the Vajra who can suppress him with the power of the entire tribe, all others will become his corrupted objects.

GEASS is the reason why Xiao Yun is so confident. He just can't use GEASS in other worlds. But if something establishes a direct mental connection with him, then he will be the source of chaos and can corrupt everything comparable to Crusoe.

Xiao Yun's problem is not just about his soul. The GEASS he obtained in World No. 3 also exacerbated Xiao Yun's soul problems on another level. While exacerbating the problem, it also stabilized his spirit. This two-sided combination made Xiao Yun gradually go down a unique path and never return, becoming hated by gods and ghosts.

After sitting in the long tube-like cockpit, the people who appeared with Xiao Yun all stepped back and disappeared from everyone's sight. Ikari Gendō, who noticed this, flickered his eyes again.

He couldn't let himself get furious, but he could clearly feel his powerlessness now. He had no solution and no plan. All he could do now was to stabilize this group of people of unknown origin and see if he could get rid of the water angel outside.

Xiao Yun sat in the cockpit, took off his helmet and put on the hairpin he had just received.

"Cooling complete."

"The flywheel stops working and the binding connection is released."

"Auxiliary voltage is normal, the freezing plug has been removed, and the plug insertion process begins."

"Spinal cord conduction system link preparation."

"The probe needle is implanted, the plug is inserted to a depth of 20, and the push continues."

“The degree of mental pollution is within the marked value range.”

"Fixed and complete."

Akagi Ritsuko nodded and said, "Begin the first startup test, contact begins."

The originally dark cockpit suddenly lit up. Xiao Yun took out a dagger and was trying to pry up a baffle in the middle of the operating lever in front of him. With a clang, the thing was pried down by Xiao Yun. After taking a look, he slapped the board back.

"What are you doing."

Xiao Yun looked up at the projection screen that suddenly appeared in front of him: "Nothing, just looking to see if there are any interfaces or something like that."

Akagi Ritsuko was silent for a moment, then said, "There is no such thing. Now we will inject LCL, or the water of life, which can provide oxygen directly through the lungs."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Come on."

Akagi Ritsuko glanced at the person next to her and said, "Liquid injection begins."

After giving the order, he looked back at the communication screen and said, "I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Not only is he young, but he's also in good shape."

Xiao Yun, who had taken off his helmet earlier, raised his eyebrows at Akagi Ritsuko, smiled, and noticed that the liquid in the cockpit had already reached his chin, and he could also smell a faint smell of blood.

When the liquid completely covered him, Xiao Yun tried to breathe. His lungs were immediately filled with the liquid, but it felt very natural, just like breathing in the air. It even felt better than breathing in the air.

Xiao Yun nodded: "It's okay. Once you get used to it, it's like it doesn't exist at all. I'm very comfortable with it."

Ritsuko Akagi did not give Xiao Yun any answer on this question, but listened to other people's reports.

"The synchronization rate is 63 percent, and the harmonic values ​​are all normal. Amazing! This is the first time I've driven it, and I haven't even put on my combat uniform yet, but I've already achieved such high data!"

"No problem, you can attack."

Akagi Ritsuko looked at Xiao Yun again: "What weapons do you need?"

"Whatever." Xiao Yun looked around, as if talking to himself: "So honest? Why don't you jump up and down? Just put up a fight. You make me feel so unsuccessful."

"who are you talking to?"

"Nothing." Xiao Yun shook his head and closed his eyes.

"The synchronization rate is increasing. Sixty-five percent, sixty-eight percent, seventy percent... Wait, the harmonic values ​​are reversed, and the mental pulses are flowing back! It's a mess, completely a mess. The signal link is broken? Hmm, it's forcibly linked again. The synchronization rate has dropped sharply... No, this... What's going on? One hundred percent, thirty percent, sixty percent, forty-five percent... Why is the synchronization rate jumping up and down like this!?"

In the spiritual world, two are running away and one is chasing. He is chasing her and it is running away, but she and it have nowhere to escape.

"Just a replica, just a human."

Xiao Yun suddenly opened his eyes and all the data seemed to have returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Just now he closed his eyes to use GEASS, and when using this ability, Xiao Yun felt two different spirits, or should I say, two incomplete spiritual units.

He couldn't detect anything more specific, but he knew that there were two incomplete spiritual units in this body. One should be Shinji's mother, and the other might be the soul of Unit-01 itself. Xiao Yun didn't know much more, but he could just feel that the spiritual fluctuations of one of them were slightly larger. The latter was like a kitten who was usually well-behaved but could get angry at any time. It was very stable under normal circumstances, but would explode when stimulated.

He was not an expert and could not figure out what was going on. The two seemed to be sharing the body but neither could fully control Unit-01. It was hard to say whether the soul inside Unit-01 was similar to that of Xiao Yun. In fact, it was also a fusion, but the fusion was not complete enough so there were two kinds of feedback.

Akagi Ritsuko frowned and said, "What did you do? What happened just now?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yun didn't have any idea of ​​answering, and said directly: "We can attack now."

Akagi Ritsuko took a deep breath and looked behind her at Ikari Gendō, whose expression had become darker for some reason and whose head was inexplicably glowing green. "Commander, we can attack now."

Ikari Gendō nodded calmly: "The battle begins."

The attack sequence began, and Unit-01 was ejected directly, twisting its way upward through a long pipe before finally stopping on the ground with a clanging sound.

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand, grasped the joystick and looked forward, just in time to see the huge body of the Water Angel appear in his sight.

"Relying on imagination and manipulation..."

"I don't need this level of explanation." Xiao Yun interrupted and said, "To die or to live."

Akagi Ritsuko was stunned: "Ah? Dead? Alive?"

But the next second, Unit-01, under Xiao Yun's control, rushed directly towards the Angel of Water. At the same time, Unit-01 opened its mouth and let out a piercing roar towards the sky: Aa ...

Akagi Ritsuko was startled by the movement of Unit-01. When she turned her eyes back from the external surveillance camera, she found that there was something on Xiao Yun's face. She was immediately shocked: "Where did you get those sunglasses from?"
