Chapter 172 Confiscating Spellcasting Tools

Ian was wreaking havoc on the deck. He attacked the fighter planes with great force, cut off the arresting cable with the AT force field, and threw it under the sea.

They came quickly and left quickly. The Survey Corps led by Levi soon robbed a lot of goods. After all, they were few in number. Compared with the number of thousands of people on an aircraft carrier, the Survey Corps of just over a hundred was pitifully small. If they robbed on the road, they would not be able to hang on.

When Levi fired the flare, everyone reunited on the deck again.

The Music Angel split into two, and the stolen equipment was placed in the middle of the cross section. Then the Music Angel merged again and took the equipment into its body.

They ran away after robbing, and never stayed any longer. When the goal was achieved, everyone jumped into the sea.

The Fish Angel and Hange and others responded below. Hange had inserted the arresting cable into the cavity from the Fish Angel's ventilation hole in advance. Soon, everyone returned with a full load.

This process was repeated more than once. In order to avoid running out of ammunition and food, Ian used the same trick again and looted several fleets.

As for fuel, he directly robbed the fuel of the aircraft. The Angel of Music took the initiative to attack and disassembled the fighter. The purpose was not the engine or its other high-tech products, but just for the small fuel tank. It was quite luxurious to eat crabs and only eat crab roe.

In fact, before leaving, he wanted to say loudly, "Thank you for your equipment", but it seemed that this was a bad thing, and people should not be too extreme, so he just waved and said goodbye.

After that, he returned to the interior of the "Fish Angel" and left without taking away a cloud or a green leaf.

The captain and crew on the aircraft carrier could only watch him leave helplessly. Many stripped soldiers gathered together, sneezing and trembling in the cold wind, and were glad that they were still alive.

Soul Seat, Conference Room.

The people of SEELE watched the video sent by the Pacific Fleet with heavy faces.

"Too embarrassing!"

"The heretics have shown new abilities again."

"The crystal people have different forms and appearances, they don't look like mass-produced weapons."

The old people were arguing, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were being fooled.

But the fish angels have already dived into the deep sea, and no matter how advanced the radar is, it can't monitor a high-speed moving object through thousands of meters of sea water.

The fish angels themselves are apostles born for the sea, and humans can't compete with apostles in the ocean.

"Silence." Speaker Keel said solemnly: "As long as the EVA mass production machine is completed, we will naturally have a way to deal with the heretics, don't mess up the formation yourself!"

The speaker spoke, and the old people finally quieted down.

But judging from the clenched fist of Speaker Keel, he was not as calm as he said.

From the result, it was obvious that they lost the second confrontation again.

"A great harvest!" Hanji counted the equipment.

They classified the weapons and equipment they had robbed, including rifles, pistols, grenades, and bulletproof vests.

In addition to weapons, they also took some soldiers' personal belongings, such as a two-dimensional beautiful girl vest lined inside a bulletproof vest, more than ten sexy beauty photo albums, and even a well-disguised silicone spellcasting prop in a bag.

Shinji, who was still a child, didn't understand what it was at first and thought it was a special bulletproof device.

It wasn't until Kaji Ryoji saw Shinji trying to use his fingers to test the depth of the spellcasting device that Kaji explained it to Shinji.

Shinji blushed and sat up straight without saying a word.

Ian was not idle. He collected the equipment and went to make the final production of the three-dimensional maneuvering device.

There are several types of fuel for the aircraft. They tested it and found that two types of fuel met the standards of the three-dimensional maneuvering device. It seemed to be liquefied natural gas, which could be made into compressed jet gas.

The arresting cable also perfectly meets the standards of the sling. Such an unprepossessing arresting cable can be sold for as much as 10 million US dollars internationally.

It is woven from a cable core and special steel wire. After the carrier-based aircraft tail hook successfully hangs the cable, the arresting cable must be bent and can be used repeatedly after returning to its original state. Therefore, it has very good toughness and is quite soft.

Each of its steel wires has a diameter of only 0.5 mm. It only needs to be disassembled to directly replace the high-strength and high-toughness wires required for the three-dimensional maneuvering device.

Ian already has the last condition for the three-dimensional maneuvering device.

Hanji raised three fingers: "Within three days, the improved version should be able to be put into actual combat."

"I know." Ian nodded: "The rest is to wait for the Ninth Angel."

At the NERV headquarters, Rei Ayanami finished the resonance experiment of Unit-01 and left the insertion plug.

"No, it can't start." Ritsuko Akagi frowned: "Unit-01 has no response. Are we rejected?"

Ayanami Rei walked out of the bathroom and looked at the empty seat. Usually, after the experiment, she could hear the noisy voices of Asuka and Shinji, but now it has become unusually quiet.

It was like going back to the time when Shinji Ikari hadn't come yet. At that time, there was only her and Unit-0.

At that time, Unit-0 had an accident and she was ejected from the plug. It was Commander Ikari who manually turned the plug valve and rescued her. For this, Commander Ikari's hand was burned.

When fighting with the Thunder Angel, Shinji also saved her once. Unit-0 defended against the Thunder Angel's light and the external armor melted.

When she was rescued by Shinji, she had an indescribable feeling.

That person shed tears for her, and she didn't know how to respond.

"At this time, just smile." Rei Ayanami recalled the words of Ikari Shinji.

But Ikari Shinji, that person, has been determined to be dead.

"Ikari-kun, what should I do at this time?" Rei Ayanami was a little stunned.

She was subtly different from her past self, and something called "emotion" was sprouting in her heart.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ayanami." Ritsuko Akagi interrupted her thinking: "Now go for routine 'backup'."

"Okay." Rei Ayanami nodded.

She and Ritsuko Akagi took the elevator to the lowest level of NERV.

Rei Ayanami took off her clothes and soaked in LCL. She was in a huge glass jar with a device that looked like a brain connected to the top of the glass jar.

She was an artificial person and had to come to this place regularly to "backup" and "repair" her memory, otherwise her body and mind would collapse.

Now Rei Ayanami is already product number two, and it is unknown when there will be product number three and four.

Through the shadow of the glass, she can see the culture medium there, where many "Ayanami" like her are soaked, but those "Ayanami" have no soul, just a shell.

"What am I?"

"What is that person?"

Rei Ayanami remembered the one-time encounter that day.

"Ikari-kun, were you killed by that person?"

"Okay." Ritsuko Akagi finished her routine work.

This work is usually done by Commander Ikari, but the commander is not here now, so it was handed over to Ritsuko Akagi, who is one of the few people who know about it.

Ritsuko Akagi looked at the "Ayanami" soaked in the culture tank and felt a physiological nausea.

Why did that person ask her to help?

Even his own son could be abandoned, but he took such tender care of a clone.

She became more and more aware of Ikari Gendō's cold attitude towards her. In his heart, she was probably just something that could be abandoned at will.

Ayanami Rei left the incubator and asked, "I heard that the second qualified person is imprisoned in NERV. Can I see her?"

"Did the commander tell you?" Akagi Ritsuko clenched her fist slightly.

It was originally a secret, but Ikari Gendō still told Ayanami Rei privately.

"Can I see her?" Ayanami Rei asked again.

"You can only see her for ten minutes at most." Akagi Ritsuko said.

"Yes." Ayanami Rei nodded.

"Come with me." Akagi Ritsuko took Ayanami Rei to the prison inside NERV.

Misato and Asuka were imprisoned in the same place, and Ritsuko just wanted to see Misato.

"Are you here again? Ritsuko." Misato looked up at Ritsuko, her mind was distracted. She hadn't had a good sleep for a long time: "It's about time you told me what you are doing, what is the Human Completion Project?"

"That's confidential." Ritsuko put her hands in her white coat: "I can't tell you now, Misato."

"Ikari Shinji is dead." Rei Ayanami said shockingly.

"What" Misato was stunned, and the next second she became emotional: "Hey! Ritsuko! What did you do! Is this true!"

"He was pronounced dead." Ritsuko said: "But his death itself is not certain."

Rei Ayanami wanted to say something, but Ritsuko stopped her: "Asuka is in the room inside, don't you want to see her?"

Rei Ayanami glanced at Misato, bowed slightly, and walked into the cell inside.

Asuka seemed to be in a much better mental state than Misato Katsuragi.

She lay on the bed, glanced at Rei Ayanami, and turned her head.

"Ikari Shinji is dead, do you know this news?" Rei Ayanami asked.

Asuka shrugged: "If he dies, he dies. That idiot is not my friend. It's good that he died. Otherwise, who knows if he was secretly reading a pornographic magazine somewhere?"

"Do you think so?"

"Do you expect a prisoner who has been locked up for more than ten days to be in a good mood? Instead of worrying about that idiot, you might as well care about me more. I think I'm going to die."

"What on earth is that person, that person called Ian?" Rei Ayanami asked.

"Are you here to interrogate me?" Asuka crossed her arms: "If you want to know, go and look through the interrogation materials yourself. I've heard such words, and I'm sick of them."

Rei Ayanami was silent. She was full of doubts and felt more and more confused.

She stood here for a while, and suddenly, the alarm sounded, and the red light flashed.

"Energy reaction detected, the image is blue, it's an apostle!" The voice of the command room came from outside.

Asuka's mouth curled up slightly, and she looked at Rei Ayanami with a little meaning.

"Go and fight, the first qualified person. Now, you are the only one who can fight the apostle."

"Well, I'll come to see you again after seeing you." Rei Ayanami bowed and left the cell with the guard.

"How could it be. Shinji..." Misato hugged her head and muttered to herself in her cell.

"Let's talk next time, Misato." Ritsuko said, "I've tried my best to get you out on bail."

"Let's go, Ayanami, go and fight the Ninth Apostle."

"The Ninth Apostle? Isn't it the Tenth Apostle?" Rei Ayanami asked.

"Sorry, I remembered it wrong." Ritsuko Akagi said.
