Chapter 2728 Controversy
The attack methods of the apostles are varied, and the upper and lower limits are very different, so the residents of the Third New Tokyo City have no sense of security at all. Maybe today's apostles are as weak as a chicken, but tomorrow's apostles may destroy the world and even neurons can't stop them. So in this case, many people in the Third New Tokyo City chose to move away.
The evacuation work went smoothly. Now even if you hide underground, you can't stop this apostle that fell from the sky. Once it lands, the whole city will be evaporated.
At this time, the operations room formulated tasks again, because in the absence of the commander and the deputy commander, Katsuragi Misato became the highest person in charge and was responsible for this battle. She was under a lot of pressure, because if she failed, it would be completely over. So after evacuating the people within 30 kilometers, she chose to stay at the base to show her confidence in this operation and her trust in the driver, so that the driver would give it a try.
The CICs also agreed to stay because they had faith and were not afraid of death. They wanted to die to protect all mankind. Although these members did not actually belong to the core of the altar, they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect mankind. This is faith.
The operation was decided, and the content was very simple, which was to catch the apostle and kill the apostle before the apostle landed. The most difficult part of the whole process was to catch the apostle, because when the apostle fell to a certain height, the monitoring could not calculate the orbit, and it all depended on the improvisation of the three EVAs. One EVA must stand under the apostle, fully open the force field to catch the apostle, and then the other two completed the killing of the apostle.
The operation was simple, and there was no need to waste money to test, but it required the cooperation of the three drivers.
Misato Katsuragi entrusted her life to them, deployed the three EVAs in three areas, and then waited for the apostle to attack.
This time, Shinji Ikari was not nervous at all, because he was very confident in running. After all, he had been chased by the jeep for so long, and he had to get some results.
There were not many people in the neuron base again. The insignificant people were evacuated, and the remaining ones were those who were determined to live and die with the base. They would complete their mission and persist until the last moment.
The satellite was monitoring the altitude of the apostle, which was getting lower and lower, and had entered the atmosphere.
Misato Katsuragi was on edge, success or failure depended on this one move.
"If this operation is successful, you should be promoted." "I congratulate you in advance, First Lieutenant." Duran was elusive, and whenever there was no one in the Neuron, he would come here for a walk.
"You, bastard?" Misato Katsuragi saw that it was Duran who was wanted, and immediately wanted to call for support, but now there was obviously no one else in the Neuron. Forget it, if the operation fails, everyone will die anyway, Duran is not afraid of death, so let him stand here. If it succeeds, then find someone to catch him.
Duran didn't care whether the other party was scolding him or not, but smiled and said: "Don't worry, this operation will definitely succeed, because I have special training, Ikari Shinji, Ayanami Rei, Asuka are all good at running."
Misato Katsuragi also heard that Duran used to drive to chase Ikari Shinji. It's really shameless for an adult to do such a thing.
"Ichizo, do you think I've gone too far? Do you think adults should be gentler to teenagers? So as not to regret it later? You are totally wrong. Everyone's gentleness is different. Sometimes it seems harsh or even ruthless, but it does not mean that they are not gentle. It's just that they think it's meaningless to show gentleness, but at the critical moment, they are willing to protect their children with their lives." Duran's words were pointed, and it was obvious that he was talking about Misato Katsuragi's father.
He usually buried his head in work and ignored his family, but during the second impact, he would rather give up the chance to survive to his daughter, making Misato Katsuragi the only survivor. Such gentleness is better than a thousand words, but it's a pity that Misato Katsuragi didn't have the chance to repay it in the end.
"What do you mean?" Misato Katsuragi was a little angry. She felt that Duran must have investigated her past.
"You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. Although the death of the deceased had nothing to do with you, you benefited from his death, so you can't repay him, so you hope to do something else to make yourself feel better, such as taking care of the teenagers and sharing your feelings with them. These behaviors can only show that you are still brooding and have not yet completed yourself." Duran pointed out that the problem of Katsuragi Misato is that she benefited from her father's death, but she couldn't repay him. No matter how many young drivers she takes care of, she can't repay her father.
"Who are you?" Although Katsuragi Misato's experience is not a secret, it is not something that anyone can investigate. Who is Duran?
"I said that I'm a life mentor. Seeing someone like you who has inner flaws, I can't help but want to educate you. But I have to remind you that your idea of influencing these three pilots in your own way is not necessarily correct. For example, treating them as family members, or as adults, or as people with independent personalities, and trying to make them feel cared for through various means in the hope of reducing their inner distress will not succeed. Because from the beginning to the end you have been thinking from the perspective of charity, and have not tried to get into their hearts." Duran said that Misato Katsuragi's efforts were not so effective, because these three pilots were also abnormal humans, and ordinary, normal means would not work.
Misato Katsuragi's method is too normal, it is the charity attitude of adults towards children. It might work for other children, but not for these three children. Because these three children are very smart and have their own way of looking at the world. Although Shinji Ikari has been escaping, there is nothing he can't do as long as he wants to. Although Asuka is arrogant and insecure, she is also very aware of the antagonistic relationship between herself and the world. Although Ayanami Rei is restricted from emotions, she can even break through the limitations of genes and learn emotions.
Therefore, none of these three teenagers were simple. Dulan regarded them as rough jade and polished them vigorously. Before Misato Katsuragi could speak, he continued: "What they need is not care, but knowledge. In this era, relying on others It is impossible for them to rely on their own knowledge and strength to express their voices. No matter how much you care about them, you cannot fulfill their ideals on their behalf, and I can teach them knowledge, even if the process is very complicated. Cruel, but one day they will realize that knowledge is the most important power in this cruel era."
Misato Katsuragi cannot deny that caring about nature cannot replace knowledge. But care can turn into spiritual power, she said: "Only a person who is cared about will care about others. If they only have knowledge, how can they use their knowledge to help others?"
"Learning to care is not just about accepting care. Once you learn knowledge, you will understand that there are three gangs of heroes. No one can change the world alone." Dulan said that knowledge also includes caring for others, and it is even broader, not only It is not only the concern of individuals for individuals, but also includes the concern of individuals for the world.
