Does this work too?

Kaneki Ken: "There are exactly four of us. We'll go up from all four directions at the same time, laughing and 'Ahahahahahaha!'"

Kazuma: "Sparashi! Boom Donisparashi! Remember to call me when the time comes."

Upon seeing this, Yui Ikari immediately realized that these guys didn't take NEVR seriously at all; they were just doing this for fun...

-----------------

That same night, Shinji got up in the middle of the night and heard a crackling sound coming from his front door.

Out of curiosity, he quickly ran out and opened the door to find Leng Mo and three others punching and kicking several people.

Are you going to switch jobs or not?! Are you going to switch jobs or not?!

"You only have one chance! There's only one answer! And that is to pledge allegiance to us!"

"If you're not willing, then we'll fight you until you are!"

"Hey!"

Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle...

Shinji was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene. Although he couldn't see the people under Leng Mo's feet, he could imagine that it was quite tragic.

"What are you doing?" Shinji couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo stopped walking, turned around, and casually explained, "We are hiring."

What the hell are you doing hiring? Is this how you hire people?

Shinji glanced subtly at the bruised and battered people on the ground. "So they agreed?"

"Not yet, they're being stubborn. But that's alright, we have plenty of time, we'll probably agree around sunrise."

"Okay, you guys continue, I'm going back to sleep."

Shinji was at a loss for words. He glanced at the person on the ground with pity, then turned and went to the bathroom to go back to sleep.

"Waaaaah! Waaaah! Waaaah!"

As a result, the people on the ground let out cries of agony, as if they were begging for help.

however……

"It's no use! Even if you scream your lungs out today, no one can save you! Soon, you'll find that you can't do anything! There will only be one outcome! That is to pledge allegiance to me!"

Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!

Suddenly, the sounds of punches and kicks echoed from the front gate, without any pause.

Then, the next day.

Leng Mo happily unfurled a banner early in the morning to warmly welcome the new members. As for the new members, they sat in the living room with bruises and swelling on their faces, unable to speak, feeling extremely frustrated.

When Yui Ikari came out and saw these people, she paused, "Who are these people?"

"Of course, they are our new members. After our kind advice, they have abandoned their evil ways and sincerely joined our anti-Okioka organization!" Leng Mo smiled happily and even patted their shoulders affectionately.

Yui Ikari glanced at him subtly. "With this sudden increase in people, I can't handle it all by myself. I'm afraid I'll need to help with breakfast."

"Oh? No need for that. They'll take care of their own breakfast. We'll be building a new base later, so we won't be staying too long." Leng Mo smiled, indicating that there was no need to worry.

"Alright then." Yui Ikari made a subtle comment, then turned and went to the kitchen to cook.

-----------------

After assigning the new members to build the base, Leng Mo pulled Shinji and Yui together to start preparing for the next plan.

"Shinji, the Angels' attacks won't stop! So you'll have to work hard from now on!" Leng Mo said earnestly.

"Okay!" Shinji nodded eagerly.

Yui Ikari asked subtly, "What's the plan?"

Leng Mo gave a thumbs up: "The Angels are attacking! Gendo Ikari definitely won't sit idly by and will surely send Unit-00 to fight! In that case, we can take advantage of the chaos, Shinji can pilot Unit-01 and take down the Angels in one fell swoop, then carry Unit-00 and run away! Leaving NEVR dumbfounded! A perfect plan!"

Yui Ikari: "..."

Shinji: "Understood! When to move?"

Leng Mo: "Everything is ready except for the final touch! When the apostles arrive, that's when our operation will begin!"

Shinji: "Oh!"

Yui Ikari: "..."

-----------------

Meanwhile, NEVR.

Misato Katsuragi looked at the documents in her hand with a depressed expression. The entire action team that had been sent out earlier had disappeared without a trace, and they were probably in grave danger.

"That brat! I thought he was pretty good, but he left me with such a mess!" Misato Katsuragi complained bitterly, even gritting her teeth.

Ritsuko Akagi, standing nearby, was also having a headache, but the problem wasn't with Unit-01, but with the power Shinji was using.

"That kid's strength is too strange. I always thought humans didn't have superpowers... But is he really human? That punch must have had the force of several thousand tons..."

Misato Katsuragi sighed and asked, "What did the commander say?"

"He didn't say anything, he just focused all his efforts on searching for Unit-01. He seems quite angry." Ritsuko Akagi sighed helplessly.

"Damn it! Unit-01 is gone. If the Angels attack... are we left with only Unit-00?"

"You won't believe it, but from the very beginning we could only use Unit-00. Unit-01 was an accident."

"..."

Misato Katsuragi suddenly didn't want to speak. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that this made sense, and could only let out a subtle sigh.

Then, a week later.

NEVR Base!

"Unidentified life form detected!"

"Signal wavelength: Blue! It's an apostle!"

Boom boom boom!

Immediately, alarms sounded throughout the base, creating a tense atmosphere. Misato Katsuragi rushed to the command center.

Meanwhile, in the commander's office, Gendo Ikari silently stared at the descending Angel on the screen, his face filled with rage, performing the standard gesture.

Chapter 648 You're next, Unit Zero!

Misato Katsuragi's face turned serious upon hearing the reports from those around her; she had absolutely no idea what to expect.

She immediately turned to Gendo Ikari and anxiously asked, "Commander, what's the plan? Should we send Zero to intercept them?"

Gendo Ikari remained silent for a moment, maintaining his classic pose, then asked, "How is Rei?"

At that moment, Rei Ayanami's video appeared in the communication. She opened her eyes and said somewhat blankly, "I've recovered."

"Attack!" Gendo Ikari gave the order without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes," Rei Ayanami replied emotionlessly.

Soon, with everyone's preparations complete, Unit-00 entered its launch trajectory, and with a burst of fire, it instantly landed in the city.

The apostle flew from the direction of the Pacific Ocean and is still on its way. This apostle has the ability to fly. It looks like a squid, but its body is somewhat bloated. It has no hands or feet, only two tentacles floating in the air.

The moment Unit-00 appeared, it immediately pulled out a weapon from a nearby building—a huge sniper rifle.

In less than a second, the well-trained Rei Ayanami had set up her sniper rifle and aimed it at the Pacific Ocean.

Rei Ayanami's voice then rang out, "Ready, target is approaching, 500 meters... 300 meters... 100 meters..."

The moment the Angel entered attack range, Rei Ayanami pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom--!

A loud gunshot rang out, and bullets sprayed from the muzzle.

The moment it sliced ​​across the sea, it seemed to cut through the water's surface, then struck the apostle straight in.

when--!

A thud was heard, and an unseen wall deflected the bullet.

"It's an AT field! The apostle has deployed an AT field!"

"Rei, prepare for close combat." Misato Katsuragi was filled with helplessness at the situation; ranged weapons were almost futile against the Angels.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Rei Ayanami abandoned her sniping and stood on the shore waiting for the Angel to arrive.

The Angels quickly reached the shore, and Rei Ayanami immediately took control of Unit-00 and ran towards it without any hesitation, as if she were not afraid at all.

However, the next second, when the Angel saw Unit-00 attacking, its eyes flashed with a scarlet light.

biu——!

Boom——!

Instantly, the Cross Star exploded at the location of Unit 0, and the violent explosion instantly destroyed the surrounding buildings and ground.

The next second, Unit Zero flew back and crashed heavily to the ground, collapsing the tall building behind it.

Upon seeing this, Misato Katsuragi in the command center immediately called out, "Rei! How is it!?"

"It's nothing." Rei Ayanami's voice came through the communicator, sounding completely calm.

"This won't do. You need to find a way to break through the AT field."

"learn."

Unit-00 slowly rose from the ruins, intending to charge forward again, but at that moment a commotion suddenly broke out.

Li turned her head and saw that a tall, purple robot had appeared next to the high-rise building.

"Unit-01!?"

Shinji is back!?

For a moment, everyone was incredulous. Although they didn't know why Shinji had returned, they were certain that the situation was not so simple.

The next second, Unit-01 stood there with one hand on its hip in a stylish pose, raising its hand to the sky and sighing.

"Today is a beautiful, sunny day, and you should be a collector's item!"

It's Leng Mo's voice!

"What?! Not Shinji!?" Misato Katsuragi's eyes widened in disbelief.

It's important to understand that Unit-01's repulsion was absolute, but now the person piloting Unit-01 is someone else. This clearly tells everyone that Unit-01's repulsion can be controlled!

Meanwhile, Gendo Ikari, in the commander's office, clenched his fists in disbelief at the sight. He couldn't comprehend why anyone else could pilot Unit-01.

Shinji was able to pilot it because he was Yui Ikari's son, but now Leng Mo can pilot it...

But... have you given up?

Gendo Ikari stared at the screen with resentment, his expression filled with an unprecedented solemnity, as if something important had been taken away from him.

At this moment, Rei Ayanami looked at Unit-01 and asked in confusion, "Not Shinji?"

"Hehehe! That's right! It's not Shinji, it's me, Leng Mo!"

Unit-01 pointed a thumbs-up at itself, exuding confidence and dominance.

The next second, Leng Mo piloted Unit-01 and charged toward the Angel, his movements swift and even full of confidence.

Unit-01 then slid in with a shovel.

boom!

Then it slid directly under the apostle and fell into the sea with a splash, and there was no more movement.

"..."

"..."

For a moment, everyone—from the apostles and Rei Ayanami to the people in the command center—fell silent.

What is this operation?

Why do you make a shovel attack with the aura of wanting to wipe out the entire enemy family, only to fall silent the next moment?

Even Rei Ayanami, who usually has a calm demeanor, felt a sense of bewilderment upon seeing this scene.
