Chapter 1574 The Situation Is Wrong

In the morning, start with Fang Zheng's words.

"Shinji, it's almost your birthday."

"Hey?"

Shinji Ikari, who was serving the meal, couldn't help being stunned when he heard Fang Zheng's words. He was almost at the end of his life, and he couldn't remember the date of his birthday. It would be nice to remember who he is.

"yes?"

"That's right, June 6th."

Fangzheng checked, he must have remembered correctly.

"It's the day after tomorrow, how about it? What birthday gift do you plan to get?"

"This, this is not good..."

Shinji Ikari, who already had a bit of manliness under Fang Zheng's training, felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"It's just my birthday after all..."

"What's the matter? It's rare for us to live together, so we should celebrate our birthday."

Fangzheng did not take Shinji's refusal seriously, perhaps in Japan, Europe and the United States, celebrating birthdays is a personal privacy. But in the mainland, there is no privacy for birthdays. I remember when I was in elementary school and junior high school, some people in the class celebrated their birthdays, and everyone paid for a cake together, and then had a great time. I don't care about any birthday presents or anything, it's just that the cake is all over the face and everyone has a good time with each other.

Of course, rich students will also ask their parents to set up a few boxes for the students in the class to have a meal. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, it's fun to laugh and make trouble in class. At least in many cases, this is much more interesting than simply holding a birthday party for you at home.

There is no such custom in Japan, and Fangzheng is not a class teacher, but it would be nice to have a birthday party at home to celebrate.

Of course, it also depends on the time and date, just like the little girls in the Tiandao Palace, if their birthdays are really counted, then there are 365 days in a year, and it may be impossible to celebrate their birthdays every day for 365 days. not enough...

"Don't be a mother-in-law. We have defeated the apostles so many times. It's time to have a celebration banquet. It happens to be your birthday. It's convenient to come together. By the way, you have friends in the class, so you can invite some to get along well." Since it’s a party, the more people there are, the more convenient it is, what do you think?”

"I agree!"

Asuka, who likes to be lively, is naturally the first to agree.

"Originally, we had to hold a celebration banquet after defeating the apostle, but we never did it... I wonder if the Japanese don't know how to hold a party at all! What do you think? The first qualified person?"

"I don't eat meat."

Rei Ayanami expressed her attitude in just four words.

"How can you live without eating meat? It's because you don't eat meat that you can't grow up!"

Ever since joining this big family, Asuka and Fangzheng have stood on the same front, never tired of seducing Ayanami Rei to eat meat.

"Fangzheng, why don't we eat the roasted whole lamb you mentioned this time?"

"I'm afraid I can't find the roast whole lamb, but the roast suckling pig is fine..."

Fangzheng was also very helpless. After the second impact, the environment of the whole world changed drastically, and it was summer all year round. One can imagine how many animals died due to this abnormal weather. But the sheep in Japan are not popular in the first place, and I can't afford to buy a piece of mutton right now, so I have no choice but to make do with roast suckling pig.

It's really not good to be a beggar chicken.

It's all said that this is up, and Shinji Ikari will naturally not refuse, so the matter is settled like this. Who they invite next is up to them.

After arriving at NERV, Fangzheng also invited Misato Katsuragi by the way, but...

"I'll forget it. I'm afraid the kid won't be particularly happy to see me."

For Fangzheng's invitation, Katsuragi Misato hesitated again and again, but finally refused. Ever since Ikari Shinji moved out from her side, the atmosphere between the two has been somewhat awkward. Fortunately, Ikari Shinji is now in Fangzheng's charge, and he doesn't have much time to meet Katsuragi Misato, so it's not a big deal. But this time, after all, the other party is the birthday star, so I'm going... It's inevitable that I feel a little embarrassed.

but…………

"You say the day after tomorrow... Wait, I'm afraid it won't work that day, and you won't be able to go either."

"Huh? What's the situation?"

"Just now, Ritsuko got the news that EVA No. 3 will be shipped from the United States the day after tomorrow, and you have to go and receive it together."

"Machine No. 3?"

Hearing Katsuragi Misato's words, Fangzheng couldn't help being taken aback.

"Have you identified the driver?"

"No."

"Then what am I going to do?"

Fangzheng's duty is to manage the driver. Without the driver, EVA is just a big iron frame to him. What does it have to do with him?

"Because there was a problem with the American branch, the No. 4 aircraft was blown up together with the North American branch, so they wanted to send the No. 3 aircraft here in advance, and... it is not confirmed yet. The pilot of Unit 4 is tentatively scheduled to be driven by Asuka."

"Doesn't Asuka have Unit 2? She doesn't know how to clone."

"No way, this is a deal made by Germany, and we are only following orders."

"Oh I got it."

Hearing what Katsuragi Misato meant, Fangzheng immediately understood what she meant.

To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. Originally, the No. 3 machine was made in North America, and the ownership was in the United States. But now, Germany wants to get the No. 3 machine, and they also want to master two EVAs at the same time like Japan. But obviously there are no redundant drivers in Germany, so what should we do?

It's very simple, that is to seal the No. 2 machine, and then let the driver of the No. 2 machine drive the No. 3 machine.

Because the ownership of the No. 2 machine is originally in Germany, as long as Germany does not let go, no one else can use the No. 2 machine. And Asuka herself is German, if she manipulates the No. 3 machine, it is tantamount to putting the No. 3 machine into the German camp.

In this way, Germany can get North American EVA without spending a penny... It can be called a model of empty-handed white wolves.

The only troublesome thing is that the procedure of turning the left hand into the right hand is a bit troublesome.

But for Fangzheng...

"You told me this because you wanted me to convince Asuka."

"That's right."

Seeing Fangzheng in front of him, Katsuragi Misato also chuckled.

"This is your job, I leave it to you."

"Hey………"

Hearing Katsuragi Misato's answer, Fangzheng sighed helplessly.

This is such a hassle.

Based on Fangzheng's understanding of Asuka, after she heard the news, she would happily accept it... What a ghost!

"Why do you want to seal my No. 2 machine!"

Sure enough, when she heard the news brought by Fang Zheng at dinner that night, Asuka exploded on the spot.

"Wouldn't it be better to let the idiot Shinji and the first qualified person go!?"

"It's useless for you to tell me, after all, the decision has been made..."

For Asuka's blow-up, Fang Zheng was naturally mentally prepared, so the moment Asuka opened his mouth, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Asuka's mouth, blocking her subsequent complaints. And Asuka was also chewing the meat in her mouth viciously, as if she was about to pull out her muscles.

"My lord is so ugly!"

Faced with Asuka's complaints, Rei Ayanami ate her meal in silence, while Shinji Ikari looked at this and that with some hesitation.

"Well, Mr. Fangzheng, in this case..."

"I will go to Matsushiro with Asuka for the start-up test of the No. 3 unit. If everything goes well, I should be able to come back in the evening. You guys continue to prepare. There must be time in time."

Although she was extremely reluctant, Asuka didn't say much because of Fang Zheng's willingness to go with her. On the morning of the third day, the two immediately drove to Matsushiro.

"The No. 3 machine is really ugly!"

Looking at the black aircraft No. 3 crucified on the cross, Asuka couldn't help complaining, and at the same time glanced at her pilot suit, her face flushed slightly.

"And this driving suit is... ugly enough..."

"Maybe the designer himself is a pervert."

Fangzheng looked at Asuka's driving suit, then shook his head.

"So………"

"Wait, I'll go with you."

"Hey?"

Hearing Fangzheng's words, Asuka was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say much, she just turned around and walked into the elevator silently. Soon, the elevator doors closed and began to slowly ascend.

"... To be honest, I never thought before that I would live with someone else."

Looking at the gradually rising scenery outside, Asuka suddenly spoke.

"yes?"

"That's right, isn't it tiring to match other people's emotions? I obviously hate this kind of occasion, but once I get down, I will be accused by adults of 'why is this child so disobedient'... But I Why do you have to listen!"

Saying this, Asuka clenched her fists.

"I decided a long time ago that I can live even if I am alone! Seeing other people's happy faces makes me very uncomfortable, so I am satisfied as long as I can drive EVA. Anyway, no one pays attention to me, unless I got the highest score record, otherwise people would not look at me. If this is the case, then other people don't matter to me."

Fangzheng didn't speak, just looked at Asuka quietly.

"But recently... I think it's good to be with other people, whether it's you, stupid Shinji, or the number one qualified person... Doesn't it feel a little strange?"

"It's not surprising at all."

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and patted Asuka's head.

"Because I used to be just like you."

"Huh? Really?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Asuka stared at Fang Zheng with wide eyes in surprise.

"That's right, although it wasn't driving EVA, but the relationship between me and my family was the same at that time. To my mother, I was just a tool man, a tool man used to deal with my father. Only I defeated my father according to her ideas. Father, I have the value of existence. So when she realized that I had lost my value, she decisively abandoned me."

"and then?"

Hearing this, Asuka couldn't help staring at Fang Zheng.

"In the beginning, I also hated the world. For me, this world is really rotten and can't be worse. But after all, children have no way to choose their parents. Of course, if I have to say, there are many children who are born miserable in the world. No one loves me, and the important thing is... Although children can't choose their parents, they can choose their own future."

As he spoke, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.

"So I also found my own life after this, and then... Well, after many, many things, I also found my place to stay."

Speaking of this, Fangzheng also smiled and patted Asuka on the head.

"I believe you will find it one day. You are still young, but you will grow up slowly and find your own happiness... Well, I can guarantee it, because Asuka, you are a gentle child. "

"Woo..."

Hearing this, Asuka blushed immediately and turned her head away.

"Didu."

And at this moment, the elevator arrived at its destination and slowly opened the door. At this moment, Asuka seemed to have packed up her mood, and walked out of the elevator bouncingly.

"I feel much better after hearing you say that, so see you later, Fangzheng."

"Uh-huh?"

Looking at Asuka who was waving at him, Fang Zheng wanted to nod at first, but at this moment, a trace of vigilance flashed in his heart, and the next moment, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Asuka who was about to enter the plug. .

"and many more."

"What's wrong?"

Fangzheng's sudden reaction also startled Asuka, she looked at Fangzheng with a reddish complexion, and asked in a low voice. Fang Zheng frowned, looking at the dark inside of the plug.

"not feeling good."

"not feeling good?"

"Hmm... let me think about it... Could it be...?"

While talking to himself, Fangzheng was suddenly startled. Until this time, he suddenly remembered!

If Fangzheng remembers correctly, there is indeed an apostle in the animation who corrupted EVA!

Frankly speaking, Fangzheng didn't think of this at first, because there is still a long time before the apostle appears in the animation, and more importantly, if Fangzheng remembers correctly, the person who was in charge of driving the EVA at that time should be Ikari Shinji's friend Toji Suzuhara is right!

Because of this, when Fang Zheng first heard Katsuragi Misato talk about this experiment, he didn't react immediately. After all, although I have seen animation before, but now I am in this world, the situation is different. Take Rei Ayanami's rampage in the experiment as an example. In the animation, any viewer can tell which episode the rampage took place, and the experienced ones can even give you the exact minutes of the animation.

But the reality is not so simple. Take the EVA synchronization experiment as an example. In reality, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami have performed hundreds of times in a row!

As for which one of the synchronization experiments caused the runaway, who can say for sure?

If Katsuragi Misato clearly told Fang Zheng that Toji Suzuhara was selected as the pilot, then Fang Zheng would definitely remember it immediately, but because Asuka was chosen this time, this is completely different from the plot direction in Fang Zheng's memory, so Fang Zheng On the contrary, Fang Zheng didn't react at the first moment, until he came to the insertion bolt, Fang Zheng suddenly grasped that feeling.

"Fangzheng?"

"Don't go into the plunger just yet, Asuka."

Fangzheng pulled Asuka behind him, and then quickly connected to Katsuragi Misato who was behind.

"Captain Katsuragi."

"What's the matter, Third Lieutenant?"

"I request that this aptitude test be canceled."

"Hey?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katsuragi Misato was taken aback.

"why?"

"not feeling good."

"Feel?"

"Didn't the EVA Unit 4 explode in the North American Division 2 before? Can you be sure that the Unit 3 has no problems in this regard?"

"This……………"

Hearing this, Katsuragi Misato was speechless, but at this moment, Akagi Ritsuko stepped in.

"That's why we're testing."

"I suggest a test run first. I have the responsibility to protect the safety of the driver. Under the current circumstances, I will not allow Asuka to enter the insertion pin unless it is confirmed that the EVA has no safety problems."

Although in terms of class, Fang Zheng is not as high as Katsuragi Misato and Akagi Ritsuko, but this aspect is within his jurisdiction, and no one else can do anything about it.

"I understand."

Ritsuko Akagi seemed to be convinced by Fangzheng, she thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I will arrange a trial run experiment immediately, you just need to wait nearby."

"Fangzheng?"

"Let's get out of here first."

Fangzheng didn't say much, but immediately left the EVA with Asuka. And just as they took the elevator back to the ground, Ritsuko Akagi also gave an order in the temporary headquarters on the ground.

"Begin trial operation and conduct the first inspection of EVA No. 3."

"Yes."

Hearing the order, the staff immediately tapped the keyboard, and soon, the insertion bolt without the driver spun into the body of EVA No. 3.

"Start testing the individual neuron contacts."

"There is no abnormality in the insertion plug sensor, and the error value is within the allowable range."

"very good."

Hearing the report, Ritsuko Akagi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"So……………"

"Did beep!!"

However, before Ritsuko Akagi's next order was issued, a row of red warnings suddenly appeared on the screen in front of her!

"Insertion depth, enter 100!"

"how so?"

Seeing this, Katsuragi Misato and Akagi Ritsuko were shocked.

Obviously there is no one in the plug!

"The experiment is aborted!"

After being reminded by Fang Zheng before, Katsuragi Misato was vaguely worried, and now she was breaking out in a cold sweat, and quickly issued an order.

"Cut the circuit!"

"No, there is a high-energy reaction in the body!"

"How could it be? Could it be...!"

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The next moment, the restrained No. 3 machine opened its mouth and let out a roar.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling blue light erupted instantly, swallowing everything.

After taking paroxetine for a year, the doctor asked me to reduce the dosage a few days ago. As a result, I started to feel dizzy and nauseated at the beginning of the reduction. , have to eat back......
