"Now we will transmit the observation data of Mount Asama from Balthasar to Melchior."

Maya looked at the book in front of her with a confused look, as if she was studying.

Hyuga holds "Jump! ", I kept laughing while watching. Talking about Jump! Hasn't it disappeared...

Aoba took out her beloved guitar.

Ritsuko pressed the spout of the coffee machine, and another cup of coffee was ready.

Pick up coffee and take a sip. Ritsuko began to examine the report in front of her. "Stop school trip? It's this time, they are really leisurely."

"That's the time, those kids just want to find a chance to play for a while." Miri leaned against the fence and looked at the busy crowd below.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Liu Ling sat quietly in the cockpit of the No. 7 plane.

On the display in front of me, a percentage figure is slowly rising.

————————————————————————————————————————————

NERV Tactical Research Room.

Several people stood by the huge display screen and looked at the observation image displayed on the display screen under their feet in an ultra-high-definition resolution of unknown few K.

"It's hard to tell by this alone." Dongyue said.

"But as the Asamayama Research Institute report said, this shadow is really interesting." Aoba continued.

Maya and Ritsuko did not speak for a while. Just staring at this picture in a daze.

"Of course you can't ignore it." Dongyue agreed, "This can't be caused by a natural phenomenon in any way."

"What do you think of MAGI?" Ritsuko asked.

"Each half." Maya replied.

"Has anyone been there?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Katsuragi is already there."

——————————————————————————————————————————

Misato stared at the magma in the picture without blinking.

The depth of the detector gradually decreases.

"It's already the limit of falling!" The staff of the institute reported, in a very anxious tone.

"No. Please descend another 5 meters." Miri's tone became more determined.

Therefore, the unmanned detector, which looks like an ultra-small Bigromia (an MA model of the Universe Century), can only continue to dive at the risk of scrapping.

"Papa" seemed to be the sound of glass cracking. "At a depth of 12, the pressure-resistant partition wall was broken."

"Miss Katsuragi!"

"If the machine breaks, we will immediately pay one-another 2 meters down." Misato said to Hyuga, who is in charge of the operation.

But actually the machine is broken, isn't it?

"The display is responding!"

"Start parsing immediately!"

"The analysis is complete and the instrument will be recovered."

"The result?" Miri's face moved closer.

"The pattern control analysis result is blue." Hyuga repeats.

"That's right, it's the apostle."

The picture in front of me is in the middle of the egg-shaped enclosed material. It is an object that looks like an embryo.

Now that it is confirmed to be an apostle, then it is our turn to act.

The corner of Miri's mouth evoked a smile like "the prey was hooked". "From now on, this research institute will be blocked, and NERV will take over the management. All personnel are prohibited from entering and exiting, and information within six hours is prohibited from being leaked and made confidential."

Institute corridor.

"Apply to Commander Ikoji for the issuance of the A-17 order, it is extremely urgent!" Misato shouted to the other side of the phone.

"Also, please be careful. This is an ordinary route." Aoba responded.

"I know, switch to a secret line."

——————————————————————————————————————————

SEELE

"A-17?"

"Should we take the initiative to attack?"

"Yes." Old Ding still replied with his waveless and deep voice from the ancient well.

"No, it's too dangerous. Don't tell me you forgot what happened fifteen years ago!"

Old Ding's eyes reflected strong light under the light, making it difficult to see his look.

"This is an opportunity. We who have been defensively have now finally had the opportunity to take the initiative to attack."

"The risk is too high." The Jilu Speaker finally spoke.

"But the importance of living apostle specimens, you don't need to say you can understand the position, right?" Ikura asked back.

"...I see, don't fail."

The projections of everyone in SEELE disappeared.

"If it fails, then humanity will disappear." Dongyue sneered.

Lao Ting remained silent as always.

"Is it okay?" Dongyue was a little worried.

The corner of Lao Ting's mouth conjured up a "planning" smile.

"Don't worry, Liu Ling is here."

——————————————————————————————————————————

Combat meeting room.

"Thick—? An apostle in embryonic state." Liu Ling became a little interested, "Is going to capture this guy, right?"

"Yes. This is the first time we have discovered a living apostle whose embryonic state has not hatched. If it can be captured as a specimen, it will be of great significance to the study of the apostle." Ritsuko replied.

"How to catch it? Use the net to catch it after diving down?"

"We have a special electromagnetic restraint device."

"No, I don't think it's safe." Liu Ling felt that such a reckless action was still inappropriate. "It won't incubate for the time being, it may be related to the temperature and pressure there, and even I can guess that excessive momentum changes may cause it. Frightened and hatched suddenly. We should adopt a more complete capture plan."

——————————————————————————————————————————

Unit 7 and Unit 0 arrived at Mount Asama.

Wearing special equipment-heat-resistant, high-pressure-resistant, and nuclear-resistant special environment combat aircraft D equipment, now looks like an astronaut.

Why is it not the zero machine?

Since the zero machine is a body test model, there is no reserved interface for special equipment. Can't equip D equipment.

"Okay, let the two machines stand by now. Hurry up and prepare the laser positioner and crane."

"To understanding."

Liu Ling pulled out the four buckles on the driver's seat and obtained four circulation tubes. The four circulating tubes are connected to two symmetrical ports on the waist of the driving suit—they are reserved by Liu Ling for cooling or antifreeze. Due to the new design of the cockpit, the special driving suit for the seventh unit cannot use the built-in insulation fluid to achieve the heat resistance effect like the previous driving suit. Therefore, like the seventh unit, the coolant circulation system is used to maintain the temperature. Safe range.

But this also has an advantage-for the No. 7 machine with its core, as long as it can withstand the temperature, it has the ability to provide electricity to keep the driving suit at a safe temperature. Thanks to Lei Jiang, in this regard, the seventh machine has the ability to perform this task without D equipment, which is really remarkable.

As for the capture device, it is now installed on the mobile stand of the seventh unit. When it reaches the contact area, as long as it is activated, the constant-temperature and constant-pressure shock-absorbing restraint cage will unfold on its own to contain the huge egg.

In accordance with Liu Ling's request, this time the circulation tube was thickened by three layers on the basis of the original combat design, which greatly enhanced the pressure resistance capability.

Twenty minutes later, the test operation of all the instruments was completed and the operation began.

The laser first confirmed the position of the apostle, and then the seventh unit was moved directly above the apostle.

"The number seven machine arrived at the departure position."

"Understood." At this moment, the palms of Mili's palms suddenly sweated.

"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel, shouldn't you be afraid?" Liu Ling made a joke. "Are the bombers from the gang of defeated dogs still watching a good show?"

"How could it be possible to let them appear." Misato smiled pretendingly.

The two strategic bombers from the war were fully loaded with N2 strategic bombs. If this battle fails, they will be responsible for the indiscriminate saturation bombing of this area to confirm that the apostles will not pose a threat to mankind. This is the arrangement that Liu Ling applied for and approved by Lao Ying's raising his hands (but Miri still remembers how funny this old guy raised his hands for the first time in history).

Thinking of this, Misato couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, it seems that our commander has entered the state." Liu Ling nodded, focusing on the upcoming battle.

"Then Lieutenant Liu Ling. See you in a while-launching the No. 7 plane." Misato said sternly.

"I wish us success." Liu Ling saluted.

The No. 7 machine was half-fixed on the bracket and slowly descended.

"Gudu", just entered the magma.

"Ding! Congratulations to you for unlocking the title of'Goblin Sneaking in Magma'. After equipped, the endurance of high temperature, radiation and high pressure has been improved~" The century system, which has been not serious, has been messing up again, "It seems that your progress is good. "

"During the battle, don't disturb us." Liu Ling complained in his heart.

"Yes, yes--" Century System temporarily hid aside.

"Now the depth is 17, the descent speed is 12, and there is no abnormality in all parts."

"There is no field of view at all in the visible light area... Xuefeng sauce, switch to the sensor's integrated field of view."

"Roger." Xuefeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat behind Liu Ling, replied in a crisp voice (in the telepathy channel).

Xuefeng now looks like a 13 or 14-year-old girl, with her charming long black hair running down her snow-white neck, where it is **** with a big white bow. It stretches to the end of the back.

She was wearing the same driving suit as Liu Ling, and her head was also equipped with a mental strength enhancement unit that also serves as an A1 nerve connection device. The sky-like, luminous eyes have the layering sense of a camera, which shows that she is different from human beings.

In the ears, there are a handful of mischievous hair on the left and right. The stroke looks like a pair of small wings. The two seemingly fragile, but actually strong, white legs grow happily downwards until they reach the feet...

All in all, it borrowed the powerful capabilities of the S2 mechanism to create a body in the shape of the soul. But like this magical technology. Except for the three traversers and Ayanami, Liu Ling would not let others know.

Wow-we have the vision again.

But the surrounding magma is hot and sticky, so the visibility of the field of view is still not high. Almost only the space sensing radar is at work-marking itself, the apostle, and the ground.

"Depth 4...45...5...5...55..."

"6"

"65"

A total of ten circulation and load-bearing pipes slowly deepened, and even the No. 7 unit was slowly descending under the traction of gravity.

"……9……"

"...95..."

Soon after breaking through the depth of 1, Liu Ling and Xuefeng are still as stable as poi.

The speed of the dive slowed down.

"1...12..."

"Break through the depth of safety!"

A sense of slow movement comes from the driving suit. Although this feeling is very slight because of the special design, Liu Ling realizes that this is the result of the activation of the coolant circulation system of the driving suit.

"...Depth 13, reach the predetermined target location."

"Lieutenant Colonel, that guy seems to be deeper down below... The magma convection here is faster than expected." Liu Ling replied after taking a look at the data given by Xuefeng.

"Data correction, fast!"

"Then, please continue to decline here." Liu Ling said that he asked to continue fighting, "I will develop the AT position to strengthen the heat and pressure capability."

"Understood." Hyuga was surprised and chose to execute the command.

Today, why are Liu Ling and Miss Meili so persistent...

"...Depth 148. Exceeding the critical depth!"

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the circulation tube and the load-bearing tube are thickened by three layers. Isn't this still very strong up to now? Liu Ling said that it is still as stable as poi.

"Wow, it's a bit hot!" Liu Ling began to complain, "How deep is it now! Why hasn't it reached yet?"

Then there was silence for a while...

"Depth 178! Arrived at the revised meeting point!"

"I saw it!" Liu Ling, who had been bored for a long time, became excited, "Now send the image."

This is a black egg, thin and long, which looks like the egg of some insect.

"So. Ready to capture."

"Understood." Although Liu Ling was excited, his good driver quality kept his hands very stable-

2.2, +1.3……-2.1, +.2……+.1, ——

"Okay! Catch!"

A large amount of metal stretched out from the stent, and spontaneously began to form a regular dodecahedron, enclosing the egg. Subsequently, the instrument hidden in the metal began to work, creating layer after layer of protection.

"The capture was successful, and the request began to return." Liu Ling sighed, "Remember to slow down."

The winch began to reverse, slowly retracting the pipeline.

————————————————————————————————————————————

After six hours of ascent, the recovery operation has been successfully concluded.

"Aha, since then, our NERV finally has a live specimen of the apostle." Liu Ling took a bath, feeling comfortable.

"Then, now—"

"Cheers! []~(c┝c)~*" The senior NERV staff gathered together (excluding Lao Ding and Dongyue) for a celebration banquet.

"I don't know what Shinji would think of seeing this guy after they came back?" Liu Ling joked with a bit of wickedness.

"Hahaha..." The cabin was filled with happy air.
