Driven by his survival instinct, Shinji still managed to control Unit 1, and with such high agility that it could be said to be rolling and crawling for a huge life form, he avoided the slashing attack of the purple light whip.

But in the rush, Unit No. 1 was still entangled in one leg by a light whip, and then smashed it towards the city.

Amidst the earth-shaking explosion, Shinji turned around in disbelief and looked at the countless wreckage under the No. 1 fuselage.

These are all...residences?

In the last battle, luckily there were no casualties. What about this time?

If I can't quickly deal with this apostle, not to mention the apostle's own damage to the city, even if he moves inadvertently, he may destroy countless people's homes.

But, can I really do it?

At this time, Carl's praise for him suddenly appeared in Shinji's mind.

In fact, Shinji rarely gets compliments. As a person without the ability to take action, everything he does is because of other people's instructions or orders. In this case, getting a "well done" is already overwhelming. If not,

The most uncomfortable thing is to blame and complain when the task is successfully completed, or to deliberately show disappointment and indifference.

If he could defeat this apostle... Karl would definitely praise himself, right?

Shinji gritted his teeth and felt a rare courage from the bottom of his heart.

Unit No. 1 stood up and pulled out a 'dagger' from the raised structure on its back.

Although it is said to be a dagger, the proportions are actually relative to that of Unit 1. Its actual length is at least ten meters.

However, such behavior was still reprimanded.

Misato Katsuragi said frantically: "Don't take out the high-frequency dagger at such a long distance! The apostle is not blind, he will definitely be vigilant!"

But since Shinji has already taken it out, where can he put it back?

He could only roar and rushed towards the fourth apostle!

However, the distance between them is still very far. This middle distance is the optimal space for the fourth apostle's long whip to be used.

The dazzling light whip was swung towards Unit-1, and Shinji could only barely dodge it by relying on instinct and only two weeks of training.

But the Apostle is not the Stormtrooper in Star Wars, it doesn't know how to draw borders.

In the blink of an eye, a long whip was blocked by the high-frequency dagger in the hand of Unit 1, making the apostle understand the danger of that knife.

Immediately, the second long whip was like a spear, piercing into the left leg of Unit 1, causing it to instantly lose its balance.

The first long whip that was then blocked penetrated from the collarbone and came out from the back, directly piercing Unit 1 to the core.

The driver is synchronized with the EVA through the link of the spiritual source. In fact, it is somewhat similar to the hunter mecha, but the spiritual level has a stronger metaphysical meaning. While its flexibility far exceeds that of the hunter mecha, it also has a huge side effect...

…

When the mecha is damaged, the pilot will feel the pain as if it were personal pain.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Shinji wailed loudly in the cockpit, his painful tears melting into the LCL liquid.

The severe pain of his body being pierced by a sharp instrument made it impossible for this young man to think normally, and there was only boundless fear and regret in his mind.

Why do I want to drive a giant robot? Why should I listen to the orders of those strange adults and go through life and death when my father is not here?

All of them only ask others to pay, keep making demands, and never give themselves any chance to refuse.

Why? Why? Why should I do this?

The huge tearing pain made Shinji feel as if someone had taken out his internal organs and strangled his throat. The resentment towards the people around him became stronger and stronger in his heart, whether it was towards his father, Misato Katsuragi, or all NERV never

Take care of yourself, adults, and complain to those people on the Internet.

But at this moment, Carl's appearance appeared in Shinji's mind.

"Shinji, if you don't want to go to the battlefield next time, just say no politely."

"Next time if you encounter a fearful situation again, don't push yourself. It's not something you should bear."

These were the only words Shinji had heard for so long that did not require him to take any responsibility.

Tears of regret flowed out and disappeared silently into the surrounding oxygen supply fluid.

If only... I had listened to Karl's advice and said no properly...

However, Shinji recalled his father's emotionless face and the natural orders of everyone around him.

Can I really refuse?

You must refuse it yourself!

If I can still live, I will go back to my hometown, leave my father, leave Tokyo, and go back to the countryside to continue school. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely don’t suffer like this again!

Finally, Shinji remembered Carl's unclear words.

But his grievances against his father and everyone on NVER and the Internet gathered together, and he finally cried and complained loudly: "Even if I shout for help, what's the use?!"

"No one will come to save me!"

"boom----!!!"

Huge roars and earthquakes were heard, and one could only be thankful that the fourth apostle only had two pigtails and could not deliver a fatal blow to Unit 1 for the time being.

Shinji endured the severe pain, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at the side view in the cockpit.

A huge, slender, humanoid robot made of mercury stepped on the smoke and came with a bang.

Its appearance looks very similar to humans, but its mercury-like body is covered with red stripes that match the direction of the muscles, and is full of surging vitality. There is no mechanical mechanism in the whole body, and it is like a huge creature with mercury flowing on its surface.

Its mouth is as delicate as an ancient Greek sculpture, but its eyes are shining with bright golden light. The whole person is filled with a kind of Buddha-like compassion and a kind of god-like majesty.

"What...what is this?"

While Shinji was stunned, a communication line was connected to the cockpit of Unit 1.

"Shinji, am I not late? It took some time to fly here from Hawaii."
