After the battle, the battleships of the Victory Fleet, including the Burning Legion, passed through a huge entrance and entered beneath the Third New Tokyo City, into an incredibly huge underground space that was so large that it was unbelievable.
It is obviously just an underground space. Not only is the height inside the space exaggerated, but the area is also incredibly large. The ground of the entire underground space is covered with countless green plants, plus the pyramid-like shape of the Nerv headquarters. The building is like entering a paradise.
It is said that there is a large distance from the ground, so not even a single pillar can be seen in such a huge space, and it can also support the Third New Tokyo City built directly above the space.
But Xiao Ran also knew from Deputy Commander Dongyue who led the way that in fact, this huge space under the ground can be regarded as the real Third New Tokyo City, because countless buildings in the entire Third Tokyo City can be used for battles. when descending into this space.
After Xiao Ran and others followed Deputy Commander Dongyue into the door of the command room, what everyone could see was an empty room that was half the size of a stadium, but in this room there was only a table and a person sitting behind the table. Outside, it was empty and empty.
Except for Xiao Ran, who already knew what the situation was like in this place, the rest of the people who followed were basically a little surprised by the situation in the command room of Ikari Yuantang, because in such a strange command room, It's really not comfortable to stay in an empty office for a long time.
When Ikari Yuantang saw Xiao Ran and others walking in, he first pushed up his yellow glasses and stood up directly. He actively greeted Xiao Ran and others, and after walking in front of Xiao Ran, he stretched out his The right hand of the white glove said: "Hello, I am Ikari Yuantang, the commander of Nerv. I welcome you to Nerv and thank you for your previous help to Nerv."
The black suit, the slightly gloomy face, and the eyes covered by yellow or orange eyes, coupled with the dim lighting in this office, to be honest, Ikari Yuantang gave everyone the same impression at first glance. The impression is really not very good. I always feel that this person looks a bit cold and mysterious.
Xiao Ran also stretched out his hand and shook Ikari Yuantang gently. After his face was stunned for a moment, he returned to normal without others seeing the change in his expression. He smiled slightly and said: "I am from the Victory Fleet. Xiao Ran, I don’t hold any special position in this fleet. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yuantang Ikari.”
"Victory Fleet, is this the current name of your fleet?" Ikari Yuantang asked in a calm and low voice, while also looking at the people behind Xiao Ran.
Brad, Tessa, and Ultra Captain Ikari Gendo are naturally acquaintances. Although they are not familiar with each other, they have at least been in contact with them. However, this is the first time for him to see Okita Shisan, Hoshino Ruri, Maru, and Miss Huang. , and Ikari Gendo is also very confused in his heart, where did the Burning Legion, Nadeshiko, Yamato, and Ptolemy come from, and why have they never been seen before? Never heard of it either.
So asking about the composition of the Victory Fleet is also like asking Xiao Ran about their origins.
Xiao Ran nodded: "Yes, the victory fleet is composed of several battleships that have entered here, including Mithril's Son of Danu, Londo Bell's La Kellam and Nail Argama."
Ikari Yuantang's eyes changed, and he nodded silently and looked at Brad, Captain Otto, and Tessa, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, please, Colonel Brad, Colonel Otto, and Colonel Tessa, also You are welcome to come here, please follow me.”
Ikari Yuantang turned around to lead the way, but did not notice the weird look in Xiao Ran's eyes behind him. He just walked to his desk and pressed a button. Several chairs suddenly rose up in the originally empty office. and table.
Everyone sat on these tables one by one, almost forming a circle.
After sitting down, Ikari Yuantang, as the owner of this place, naturally couldn't let the atmosphere become indifferent. Considering that he didn't know the situation of the Burning Legion and other ships, Ikari Yuantang's next questions and conversations centered on Shengli. On top of the fleet.
After asking what was going on with the Victory Fleet, and with everyone's acquiescence and approval, Brad sighed and explained the situation of the Victory Fleet, the three worlds, the enemies to be faced, etc. Ikari Yuantang, on the other hand, has always maintained a serious attitude and listened to Brad's description.
Xiao Ran was also sitting aside. Although his face could not be seen, his heart was full of weirdness. As a changer, although he could not directly feel the inner thoughts of others, but needed communication to understand the other party, he had no understanding of emotions and moods. Or the inner tendency can be felt.
And at the moment when he shook hands with Ikari Yuantang, Xiao Ran could very clearly feel the calmness and kindness in Ikari Yuantang's heart. It is not surprising to say that it is calm, but if the person involved in this kind of calmness is Ikari Yuan If you don't, that would be a bit abnormal.
Because from Xiao Ran's understanding, Ikari Yuantang should be an indifferent guy. Even if he has feelings in his heart, he is still a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. It sounds a bit ruthless, but Xiao Ran sees from this Ikari Yuantang I don't feel this kind of indifference or cruelty at all. I just feel like a simple calmness. There is no indifference but there is no enthusiasm at all. It's like the feeling of an enlightened monk. .
And the kindness is also unabashed, not only the kind thoughts in the heart, but also the actions. It is really strange enough to stand up and shake hands with Xiao Ran. It is really not like what Xiao Ran remembers. The Ikari Gendo in the simple EVA plot.
In short, this Ikari Yuantang should be regarded as another person with a completely different personality, a person that Xiao Ran cannot look at with the influence of memory and vision.
After Brad finished talking about the Victory Fleet, the three worlds, and Londo Bell becoming a traitor to the Federation, Ikari Gendo fell silent until a long while passed. Then he said: "I understand, so the current situation is very unfavorable for the Victory Fleet. Without the logistics of the Federation, Londe Bell's situation will be quite bad. Just relying on the Mithril that has begun to shrink. It is indeed impossible to achieve perfect support and supply work.”
"Then for everyone in the Victory Fleet, all logistics, supplies and support will be handled by Nerv."
