Chapter 2708 Believers

Duran was a little bored in the small dark room. After all, there was nothing in the small dark room. It was just placed there to create psychological pressure, but this trick didn't work on Duran.

"It doesn't seem to be anything suspicious. Maybe after the course is over, Shinji will come back by himself." Akagi Ritsuko smiled.

Misato Katsuragi rolled her eyes at her friend. She had no way to deal with this friend with a weird temper.

Her friend was smart and calm, but sometimes what he said and did was different from mainstream common sense. It can only be said that smart people have smart opinions. Anyway, Misato Katsuragi couldn't stand it.

"This matter is very serious. The problem is not whether Shinji can come back, but that as the pilot of Unit-01, he must be on call 24/7. We don't ask him to get good grades at all, as long as he can complete the combat mission." Misato Katsuragi told the truth. Sometimes she really regarded Shinji Ikari as a tool for revenge.

Fifteen years ago, her parents were at the core of the Second Impact.

Seele has existed for half a century, and existed before the Second Impact. It is a global secret organization similar to the Brotherhood. This organization relied on the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered half a century ago to investigate the apostles, and finally found the first apostle Adam in Antarctica and started experiments.

This experiment was fully responsible by Seele. After all, for countries on Earth, studying the apostles did not bring much benefit at the time. Only civil organizations like Seele would regard the Dead Sea Scrolls as a treasure book and search for the apostles according to the map, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Half a century passed between the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the occurrence of the Second Impact. Only a group of elites really believed that the Dead Sea Scrolls could guide the future of mankind, just like religion, believing that humans came from the apostles rather than evolution.

Therefore, Seele is incompatible with mainstream society and adopts the operation mode of secret societies. Only through introductions from acquaintances can you join.

Ikari Gendō joined through Ikari Yui, and Fuyutsuki joined through Ikari Gendō. Although Fuyutsuki is their teacher, Ikari Yui is the first person to join Seele and start research. She is ahead of everyone.

Misato Katsuragi's parents are also members of Seele. She grew up in Seele's research facilities. When the second impact broke out, her family was in Antarctica.

Misato Katsuragi's parents were not a respectful couple. On the contrary, they often quarreled, and her father spent much more time on research than on his family. Misato Katsuragi didn't like her father, but it was her father who saved her life in the end. During the second impact, he gave his daughter the chance to escape, making Misato Katsuragi the only survivor of the Antarctic Research Institute.

So her heart was also empty and autistic.

After the second impact, Seele became the protagonist of the world stage and the guide of the chaotic earth by deciphering the Dead Sea Scrolls and mastering the apostle technology. They traveled around the world to promote their technology and obtained a lot of funds, which led to their current scale.

And the fanatics who joined Seele at the beginning and their descendants also joined Neuron one after another, and stepped onto this lively stage one after another.

Misato Katsuragi, Ritsuko Akagi, their parents were members of Seele from the beginning, and they were believers of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the beginning.

Of course, it is unknown whether their parents support human completion. Maybe they support it, maybe they don't, maybe they support it at first but don't support it at the moment of death. For example, Misato Katsuragi's father may know about the human completion plan, but in the end he realized the beauty of life, so he entrusted his life to his daughter.

"He is not afraid at all. It seems that confinement can't make him submit." Ritsuko Akagi said as she looked at Duran, who was bored on the screen.

"I will use violence when necessary." Although Misato Katsuragi did not want to go to the point of using violence, after all, Duran was Shinji Ikari's teacher, and arranging Shinji Ikari to study extracurricularly was not an extraordinary thing, but Shinji Ikari's identity determined that he was not an ordinary student and must be treated specially.

Ritsuko Akagi laughed and said, "Since he is a knowledgeable history teacher, let me meet him. I am very curious about his idea that neurons will betray everyone." Although Ritsuko Akagi is a good friend of Misato Katsuragi, as the chief scientist of neurons, she knows much more truth than her best friend.

Without Ritsuko Akagi's secret help, Ikari Gendō's plan to usurp the Instrumentality Project would not have been possible. It was Ritsuko Akagi's continuous technological support that allowed Ikari Gendō to conceal his little tricks under Seele's nose.

So Ritsuko Akagi knew about the Human Instrumentality Project and knew that Seele's final action was indeed to betray all mankind. Because all mankind hopes to defeat the apostles and continue to survive on Earth, while Seele's goal is for everyone to return to the origin together. The ending of the Instrumentality is completely unknown. It may be a chaotic form where all souls gather together, leaving the flesh and turning into Alaya consciousness or something like that. Anyway, by then, the life civilization and cities that humans are proud of will no longer exist.

But Ritsuko Akagi knew this because she was a scientist of Seele. She was very curious whether a history student could really infer the results from history? Infer that Seele would betray all mankind?

So Ritsuko Akagi, wearing a white robe, walked into the small black room gracefully and talked to Duran.

"Hello, I'm Ritsuko Akagi, a neuron scientist." Ritsuko Akagi introduced politely. They were all scholars. Although she was a science student and Duran was a liberal arts student, there was no need for scholars to be hostile to each other.

"Hello."

"I heard that because neurons have secrets, you believe that neurons will take away benefits from humans and that neurons will eventually betray humans. I wonder if this is too arbitrary. All countries, departments, and even individuals have their own secrets. It can't be that only the secrets of neurons are conspiracies, while the secrets of other countries are not counted." Ritsuko Akagi was indeed smart. She used Duran's theory to attack Duran and find contradictions.

Duran said: "I made this judgment because Neuron is a feudal organization. Feudal organizations hide secrets only for themselves, not for others. So as long as it is a feudal country, they hide secrets and there is only one result, that is, betraying the people. I am not targeting Neuron, I am targeting all feudal organizations."

"Then how do you judge that Neuron is a feudal organization?"

"Feudal organizations are subordinates who do not know the goals of their superiors. When superiors perform tasks, they do not need to explain to their subordinates, but just force them to complete the tasks. The experience of classmate Shinji Ikari illustrates the problem. There is also classmate Rei Ayanami. I can feel the secrets she carries, and she obviously has no choice. In addition, the island country has never experienced a thorough change, and the old forces still exist after World War II, so I can judge that Neuron is feudal."

It makes sense, Ritsuko Akagi must admit this.

Enlightened armies directly inform every soldier of the combat mission, no matter how difficult it is, they will tell the truth, and then the soldiers will go to the battlefield and fight in the face of gunfire and rain of bullets. Even if they fight to the last survivor, they will insist on focusing on the mission. Because this is their own choice, their own will, not deception, and it cannot be done by force.

In the Neuron, there is no spiritual counseling for the pilots, no psychological construction, and no truth. They are just forced and tricked into sending them to the most dangerous battlefield.

"You are an interesting person. Do you want to help Shinji Ikari? Fight against the Neuron by influencing the pilots?" Akagi Ritsuko asked. She wanted to know what Duran would do to fight against the feudal Neuron.
