The Collection of The End

——2016.5.13——

Gathering Garden.

Ikari Shinji was wandering around the campus, counting the information collected so far on his mobile phone as he walked.

To use the "Angel Falls" plan to pull the "angel" down, the key is not to find an unconscious body as a descending container, nor to find the formation materials in the sense of mysticism and the meaning of placing them in various positions of the formation. Unknown sacred relics are not very important. As for an AI that can control the overall situation and not be affected, it may be more critical, but it is still not the core part.

At the heart of the whole plan is that there must be someone who will not be "crowded out" by the consciousness of others and who will always be himself.

This person's responsibility is to "return" all of them one by one in a situation where everyone's self-awareness has been replaced with each other and is already in a mess.

The method of homing is "match-to-touch".

As the only person who retains the personality before "Angel Falls", as long as Shinji Ikari finds matching "personality" and "ontology", 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 doesn't mean things are more complicated, in fact, the recovery behavior is more like twisting a Rubik's cube, the more squares that come back to the correct position, the better the rest will recover, no matter how messy it looks.

The same is true for the retrospective "Angel Falls" plan. As long as the number of people who have been "recovered" reaches a certain number, other people who have never been in contact with them will be wrapped and turned back into themselves. After the "Angel" loses the body to rely on, he will have to show his true body. Next, it is the work of the first machine.

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

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

"Sakura, there's another set of clothes here, put them on quickly and let me take a picture~"

"Humph, are you convinced by Yu's beautiful figure? That's right."

"Guang, don't pay attention to this king's stupid little sister, let's go conquer the world with this king!"

This is Hikaru Toki, Sakura Suzuhara and Toji Suzuhara playing at the amusement park.

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

"It's time for afternoon tea and reading, and I will not accompany you."

"Hey, although this is a game, it's not a joke."

This is Misato Katsuragi, Ritsuko Akagi and Ryoji Kaji who quarreled at the EVA test ground.

"I'm not a human being! Oh oh oh!"

"I want to surpass humans! Ouch!"

"That's the momentum! I'll be able to finish the work today!"

This is because the supervisor was quarreling and lost a lot of work, Aoba Shigeru, Hinata Makoto and Ibuki Maya.

How to put it, although it is very strange, but it matches their usual performance subtly.

Of course, there are also those that don't look right, 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 tell Ayanami-san about this kind of thing, it's a waste to tell me?"

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Training? I work hard to improve my attributes and synchronization rate, so I can better help seniors in the future."

"Then come on."

"Oops, the appointment time for special training is coming, I'm so busy... Bye bye, senior!"

You tell me this energetic and generous girl is Kirishima's real name?

In addition to these people who can still work and live normally although they seem a bit strange, there are also situations where they cannot adapt, such as...

"Makiba-san? Are you here?"

"Alas!"

"No, it's obviously you who asked me to come, why are you afraid of this?"

"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 call back with Ben and Li..."

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

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

"puff."

"Ah ah!"

Xiao Lingbo in this state, although it is not impossible to continue to tease, but when her personality switches back, I am afraid that she will retaliate against herself, so let's forget it.

At present, after the success of the Angel Falling Plan, everyone Ikari Shinji knows has switched personalities. Many people in key positions have caused some trouble because of their mismatched personalities, but because of "Noah" The bottom line is that things are generally controllable. By the way, it seems that because "MAGI" doesn't know the plan and is confused about the status quo, "Noah" is in a very 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 people's memory is based on the existence of the body, because Eve always exists, Ayanami can retain the memory, and other people, including himself, because the body is reset, or Say, "formatting", I won't remember anything, at most there is a little "sense of sight" like my 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 indigenous characters. Just a big change.

Shit, isn't that what you're doing?

Ikari Shinji shook his head and opened a communication software.

[EVA01: Noah? 】

[Noah: Hi, little Shinji~ Have you found a matching personality? 】

[EVA01: I'm not sure yet, but I'll give you a list later. You use your authority to trick them into going for a medical examination and try it together. You shouldn't be wrong too much. 】

[Noah: I’m really bothering you, because humans are cunning and changeable, I can’t judge who their current personality should belong to, I can only let you confirm them one by one, after all, I’m just an AI. 】

[EVA01: How is Ayanami? 】

[Noah: I'll declare her brain-dead if it's an ordinary person. How can there be a living person's brainwaves in a straight line, but since you said it's hanging up, then it's really good. 】

[EVA01: I still have to walk around the campus, so please take care of her. 】

[Noah: Don't expect me to tell you, I don't have a hobby of being a matchmaker. 】

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

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

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

So far, the plan as a whole has no major flaws, but there are still loopholes in the real key, which is why "Angel Falls" will cause "Weave of Life" to no longer appear.

In Noah's words, they wrote a BUG (program), and then the program (BUG) just ran and achieved the desired goal. After that, when they wanted to achieve this goal again, they didn't even think about how to eliminate the BUG. To improve the program, but decided to use the bug directly, out of the world.

In this regard, Shinji Ikari can only show his helplessness, there is no "pioneer" in other world lines to step on the thunder for them, and the arrival of the "woven thread of life" is imminent, so he has no time to plan and arrange calmly.

After this crisis is over, think about it slowly.

Preliminary guesses are that although "Angel" and "Weaving of Life" are far apart in personalities, they share the same "slot". Advent", as recorded in the "Dead Sea Documents", only one apostle will appear at a time.

"[Wow-wow--]"

The harsh siren 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 the personality of a chemist?

He stopped, turned on his mobile phone and flipped through the school's forums and chat groups, and quickly figured out what happened in the sudden explosion of information.

Six students passed out after eating in the cafeteria. The reason has not been found out. The principal of the academy specially asked all the students who had dined at a certain period of time to undergo a detailed medical examination.

Hmm... This is the plan of "deceiving people to go for medical examination" after getting the list and counting the common intersection of these classmates? As expected of the AI ​​that shoulders the heavy responsibility of the "Ark Project", it would be nice if the character was more reliable.

If nothing else, the uproar should have ended in an ironic way, without damaging the reputation of the assembly garden, after all, she still has the title of head of the school.

Of course, this is none of my business, Ikari Shinji shook his head and continued to observe Lu Yu's classmates.

He didn't know every classmate, let alone their personalities, but he couldn't help but "someone" was familiar with them.

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

Why do you think their relationship is not progressing?

Idiot, look at that kid's shocked look, right? It wasn't a character issue, but he didn't remember a time when his girlfriend was so active.

So now we're looking for someone who's shy to hold hands?

That kind of personality is commonly known as social fear? Can you find them on campus?

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 right, go and see if there are people who can never be in the library.

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

How should I put it, if everyone has a split personality, wouldn't they seem normal.
