Neo-Tokyo-3.
"Young and foolish, I didn't appreciate the older sister's charm, mistakenly valuing the young maiden as a treasure..."
The pitch-black space gate silently closed behind him, and Hansen hummed a tune as he emerged from the negative universe, his body and mind exuding the joy of relaxation from within.
It must be said, Gendo Ikari ate quite well in his younger days.
Even after a long, dead silence of confinement in the negative universe's spaceless and timeless environment, to this day, he is still... quite moist.
He raised his gaze to look into the distance; the somewhat naive Little Water was still playing a game of 'you bomb me, I stab you' with the UN forces' artillery, slowly and steadily advancing towards NERV Headquarters amidst the sky full of gunfire.
"So, what's next..."
Hansen overlooked the fortified city bristling with defenses beneath his feet, stroking his chin, "Since I've decided to stay in this world for a while, I need a suitable identity to facilitate things."
An interesting thought flashed through his mind.
The next second, an invisible Imaginary Divine Power, like the pulse of the universe, emanated from him, transforming into an unobservable ripple that instantly spread across the globe.
This idealistic power, which dominated reality, illusion, and the mind, silently tampered with the entire United Nations information database, like a top-level command.
It silently infiltrated all official records of the Neon government.
Finally, like a ghost, it snuck into the impregnable MAGI supercomputer system at NERV Headquarters.
MAGI's tripartite personalities—
Melchior the'Scientist,' Balthasar the 'Mother,' and Casper the 'Woman'—their complex logical systems simultaneously reported an incomprehensible high-dimensional information injection.
But in the next millisecond, all alarms were forcibly suppressed by the rewritten supreme underlying logic, and related records and data were seamlessly added and modified.
At the same time, all personnel who might come into contact with these materials—
From high-ranking UN officials in Geneva to ordinary clerical staff at NERV Headquarters.
Their perceptions and memories were also flawlessly corrected under this divine power.
Thus, from this moment on, a person who naturally existed was added to this world.
A special inspector directly appointed by the UN Security Council to supervise and evaluate the EVA project, possessing the same level of authority as NERV Commander Gendo Ikari, and even higher authority in certain specific matters—
Special Inspector.
At the same time, he was also the soon-to-be... physical education teacher at Neo-Tokyo-3 First Middle School.
"Entering NERV as an inspector to observe the performance of those old foxes up close, and by the way, as a teacher, to discipline the protagonist group who can't even collectively produce one mother... Hmm, it seems like it will be a very interesting experience."
Hansen's face showed a benevolent smile that would make Muzan Kibutsuji lose sleep if he saw it.
"But, before that."
His figure flashed in the air, then, as if teleporting, he appeared at the next intersection where Misato Katsuragi's little blue beat-up car was about to pass.
A new life in the EVA world was about to begin... The blue Renault sports car sped along the deserted road with a creaking sound.
Inside the car.
Misato Katsuragi sighed softly; her first contact with the reclusive boy had not gone smoothly.
Shinji Ikari was not entirely unwilling to communicate, but the boy's answers were full of perfunctoriness and distance.
He also showed no interest in the previous accident or the giant monster, as if he was only there to complete someone's task.
—Well, is this the result of a long-term lack of paternal love?
Misato Katsuragi, who had temporarily paused the conversation, secretly pouted, then chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Isn't this exactly like herself back then!
—Forget it, I'm not in a position to persuade him of anything.
Just as the atmosphere in the car gradually quieted down, Misato Katsuragi suddenly noticed a figure appearing around the corner ahead, waving his arm kindly at her vehicle.
He was a tall, handsome, almost unreal-looking black-haired young man.
He wore a well-tailored black trench coat, and despite standing in the midst of a messy ruin, he was as clean as if he had just stepped out of an apartment.
His demeanor was as calm as a bottomless pool of water, and his deep, platinum-gold eyes simply looked at you as if they could see right through you, yet they carried a hint of warmth that was impossible to resist.
Especially against a backdrop that was almost like the end of the world, his tall and imposing figure and leisurely stroll brought a contradictory yet tangible sense of security.
"Eh, he's..."
While instinctively swallowing, Misato Katsuragi tried hard to recall in her mind.
As if a nearly forgotten memory surfaced out of nowhere, she quickly remembered the numerous documents she had seen before—
She knew this man, a UN Special Inspector, like Shinji Ikari, scheduled to arrive at NERV Headquarters today.
Hansen.
It was only then that she remembered she had two tasks today.
One was to pick up the Commander's son, and the other was to welcome this important figure from the United Nations.
"Ugh... it's all because of the Angel that appeared out of nowhere and messed everything up!"
"Ahhhhh... I completely forgot!"
Shinji Ikari looked on in confusion as the beautiful, spirited older sister beside him suddenly let out a low shriek as if having a fit, while simultaneously slamming on the brakes.
The tires screeched as they locked up, leaving four smoking scorch marks on the ground, and the immense inertia almost threw the unprepared Shinji Ikari straight through the windshield.
"Good afternoon, you two."
Hansen looked at the blue sports car that stopped completely less than five centimeters from him, showing no sign of nervousness or displeasure; instead, he greeted them with a gentle smile.
His voice was warm and magnetic, flowing over her eardrums like a warm current, overpowering the harsh alarm still echoing over the city, inexplicably calming her agitated heart.
The car door made a grating, teeth-jarring sound as Misato Katsuragi hastily got out, instinctively looking up.
Their eyes met, and her cheeks flushed as if she had been electrocuted; she gave Hansen a standard ninety-degree bow, her beautiful purple hair almost touching the dusty ground.
"Gomen... Gomenasai! (I'm sorry! I'm sorry!)"
"It's... it's Mr. Hansen, right? I'm so sorry! I was disrupted by that big guy just now, and I completely forgot about such an important matter!"
At this moment, Misato was like a little girl who had made a mistake, her cheeks instantly turning crimson.
Half of it was professional shame, the other half was an uncontrollable acceleration of her heartbeat.
Oh my god!
The photos in the NERV internal database were already incredible, but he's a hundred times more handsome in person!
And this height, this physique, and this inexplicably reassuring calm aura... it's almost like... like...
