If Ritsuko Akagi were to slip out of control as a result, the plan would undoubtedly become much more unpredictable.
"Ikari, you're already this old, it's not that important whether you have it or not," Fuyutsuki said earnestly, forcing a smile.
As his close partner, he was the one who stopped the rumors from spreading further.
To avoid letting the outside world discover that NERV's commander had suffered a fatal blow and was in a state of collapse.
Otherwise, the entire organization might become a laughing stock.
Look at that Commander Ikari, he's crippled.
However, given the suddenness of the incident, some rumors inevitably circulated within the hospital and at NERV headquarters.
Gendo Ikari remained silent with a dark expression, knowing that the old man opposite him was also watching the spectacle with amusement.
"Is it possible to transplant or regenerate it?" After a moment of silence, Gendo Ikari asked, feigning composure.
With current medical technology, it is not entirely impossible to restore Yilin Yiqi to her former state.
“No, your body can’t handle that kind of risk right now,” Fuyutsuki reminded him. “Besides, time is running out.”
Gendo Ikari fell silent upon hearing this; the plan was still more important at the moment.
Therefore, we cannot stop, no matter how severe the injury or even if it is more serious.
Thinking this, Gendo Ikari felt a sense of powerlessness. Could this be Yui Ikari's punishment for him?
Is he taking revenge on him for not taking good care of Shinji all these years?
If that's the case, he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At least Yui Ikari responded to him, didn't she?
Of course, even after suffering setbacks, Gendo Ikari showed no remorse and remained determined to go down this path to the bitter end.
They decided to intensify their persecution of Shinji Ikari, giving Unit-01 the opportunity to go berserk.
Even if Yui doesn't understand, he still wants to see her again.
Looking at Gendo Ikari's somber expression, Fuyutsuki's smile grew even wider.
Not only is their mind tormented, but their bodies are also so broken, which is truly delightful.
If this was truly Unit-01's intentional act, then all Fuyutsuki can say is: Go all out!
While the two were lost in their own thoughts, the door to the room was pushed open.
Yalin strode into the ward carrying a gift basket. He paused for a second upon seeing Gendo Ikari's miserable state before greeting him with a smile.
"Commander Ikari, you seem to be in good spirits. It looks like you'll be back to take charge soon."
Gendo Ikari's gaze was indifferent, like a high-ranking monk who had been in seclusion for many years, unwilling to pay him any attention.
Dongyue suppressed her smile and looked out the window with a serious expression.
“I already know the situation. Life is full of disappointments, so there’s no need for you to be too sad.”
Seeing this, Yalin sat down in front of Gendo Ikari and gently comforted him, "At least you still have Shinji as your son, so it's not like you have no successor."
Gendo Ikari's gaze turned icy upon hearing this; this person had only come to watch the spectacle.
Given their underlying rivalry, this is not surprising.
To be honest, Yalin was already being very polite by not opening champagne to celebrate on the spot.
Even so, he couldn't stand the ridicule.
The hardest thing between people is to put themselves in each other's shoes. If Gendo Ikari could have done that, he wouldn't have ended up being bitten in two by Unit-01.
"Ah, honest advice is hard to swallow." Yalin sighed, facing Gendo Ikari's death stare.
The gift basket was then placed on a counter to the side.
"Lord Yalin, what is this?" Dongyue glanced at it and found that it was full of various irregular long objects, which gave him a vague guess, but he couldn't be sure.
"As the saying goes, 'like cures like,' we've specially placed cow, sheep, and donkey penises here. Perhaps consuming them will allow Commander Ikari to grow back?" Yalin laughed.
Upon hearing this, Gendo Ikari's eyes widened, and he coughed incessantly.
Even the bandage around his waist was bleeding again. If he hadn't been so weak, he probably would have gotten up and fought Yalin right away.
That's really mean.
"Don't get excited. You still need to take good care of your health. NERV can't afford to lose its commander."
Seeing this, Yalin quickly held down Gendo Ikari and patiently advised him, rendering him unable to move and only able to glare angrily.
Knowing that they couldn't continue, Dongyue quickly pulled Yalin back.
If things continue like this, Gendo Ikari might not live to see the plan succeed before he dies.
The worse Gendo Ikari's situation, the happier he is.
A moment later, the ward returned to silence.
Even though Yalin went too far, Gendo Ikari could only endure it.
After all, he had secretly plotted to kill Yalin and Rei Ayanami more than once before.
No amount of revenge from Yalin would be excessive.
A few verbal provocations are already quite mild.
Under the watchful eye of referee Seele, Yarin was practically a model member, commanding far more trust than Gendo Ikari.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Yalin, but Ikari is currently too weak to take these," Fuyutsuki said seriously.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think to myself, "Do you really think he doesn't know about the food therapy in China?"
The premise of using form to supplement form is simply that it must exist.
Gendo Ikari has already been uprooted, so what else can be repaired? Phantom limbs?
"Oh, what a pity. These are all the freshest ingredients. I specially had them packed and delivered." Yalin said regretfully, then chuckled.
"Don't worry, the outside world doesn't know the truth. It's just a rumor that Commander Ikari is feeling listless and needs these ingredients to nourish his body."
There will be a day in the future when I will be full of vigor and glory, perhaps?
Well, I should thank you then, Gendo Ikari was so angry he almost coughed up blood.
He has suffered more in recent years than he has in all the years combined.
As Commander Ikari, who holds a high position of power, even the members of SEELE speak to him kindly.
Add to that his face, which exudes a chilling and intimidating aura that can strike anyone in the dark, and no one dares to speak like that.
Putting aside everything else, Yalin's words were all directed at him, which was truly upsetting.
"By the way, once Shinji wakes up, should we have him change how he addresses you? The word 'father' is no longer quite appropriate," Yalin suggested. "How about calling Commander Ikari...?"
"Get out!"
Gendo Ikari couldn't hold back any longer and let out a lion-like roar, stopping Yarin from continuing.
The excessive excitement aggravated the wound, causing the abdomen to rupture again, and the bandage became stained with a large amount of blood.
"Commander, don't get agitated," Yalin said with a smile.
He constantly put pressure on Shinji Ikari, causing him to narrowly escape death several times, and even sacrificing all of humanity to fulfill his dream.
When it comes to his own setbacks, he can't handle them. Koizumi needs to work on his mentality.
Volume 1: Chapter 102: Entrapment (」3镏引〒棋尔寺肆坝L曰易〢4k)
After Yalin left, the ward was shrouded in silence.
All that remained was Gendo Ikari's constant coughing.
Blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth, making him look utterly disheveled.
He was truly tormented, both physically and mentally.
"Yarin is too reckless, but with Seele backing him up, Ikari can only suffer in silence."
Dongyue immediately rebuked him, then her tone turned helpless, thus absolving herself of any responsibility.
As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself." He's already quite old, and he doesn't want Yalin to expose his shortcomings.
It's going to be tough for Ikogendo.
He's been heartbroken for so many years, a little more excitement won't hurt.
"Cough cough, Yalin must die." After calming down slightly, Gendo Ikari gritted his teeth and said.
If ordinary mercenaries and firepower can't handle it, then send in troops and missiles; if all else fails, drop an N2 mine.
Even the apostles would be injured; I don't believe Yarin could survive.
If the puppet system hadn't been taken over by Yalin and unable to intervene in this matter, he would have even wanted to control Unit Zero to crush Yalin into pieces to avenge today's humiliation.
Aside from the day Yui Ikari threw himself into Unit-01, his emotions had never fluctuated so drastically.
The heart that was thought to be dead is now beating fiercely, and the anger is rising.
"Ikari, calm down. Yalin can't be allowed to get into trouble, at least not in the short term."
Seele has already shown that he values him highly, and acting rashly could lead to many unforeseen circumstances. "Fuyutsuki immediately advised.
Even the replica of the Spear of Longinus could be taken out after being persuaded by Yalin, which shows Yalin's status in Seele.
He could only achieve this if at least two-thirds of the twelve members supported him.
If they had known from the beginning how important Yalin was, he and Gendo Ikari would never have acted rashly.
If something goes wrong, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and SEELE might even order a thorough investigation.
Gendo Ikari is the undisputed leader at NERV, yet he cannot stand up to SEELE, otherwise he wouldn't have been so evasive.
At least until Unit-01 consumes the S2 engine, Yalin cannot run into any problems, otherwise ten years of preparation will be in vain.
"Yes, yes..."
Gendo Ikari muttered Yui Ikari's name several times before he could suppress his anger and calm down completely, though his gaze grew increasingly gloomy.
That's right, what's a little grievance compared to getting things done?
