Perhaps due to the influence of the will of the universe, the battle against the fourth angel was no different from that in the animation.

Of course, at the beginning, because it was Shinji Ikari's first time to pilot Unit-01, he naturally crashed. However, because the Fourth Angel did not have the ability to pierce the brain with a lightsaber like the Third Angel, he just used a whip to roll up Unit-01 and threw it outside.

Then, the Unit-01 that was thrown into the mountain collided with the two idiots, Suzuhara Touji, who had sneaked out.

The subsequent plot was not much different. In order to save the two, Shinji Ikari opened the insertion plug, then ignored Misato Katsuragi's order to retreat, and directly took out a knife to kill the fourth angel.

After watching this wonderful show, Fang Zheng hummed a little tune and went to find Ikari Shinji.

Sure enough, he soon saw Misato Katsuragi and Shinji Ikari in the temporary lounge.

"Why are you ignoring my orders?"

Staring at Ikari Shinji, Misato Katsuragi asked coldly, but Ikari Shinji just stared at the ground.

"sorry."

"I am your operations manager."

"yes."

"You are obliged to obey my orders."

"yes."

"This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen again in the future."

"yes."

What made Katsuragi Misato depressed was that no matter what she said, the other party just answered with human nature, as if she didn't care at all.

Looking at Shinji Ikari in front of her, she also became angry.

"Did you really listen?"

"Of course, Miss Misato, it doesn't matter, we've already won. I'll drive as long as you give the order, what else do you have to complain about?"

"you……!"

Hearing this, Misato Katsuragi stretched out her hand angrily, but at this moment, suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"You have the nerve to quarrel with a child, Captain Katsuragi."

"Third Lieutenant Fang Zheng..."

Looking at Fang Zheng who appeared between herself and Ikari Shinji, Misato Katsuragi was stunned for a moment, then stepped back.

"Do you have any problem with what I'm doing?"

"Of course, I can't stand a woman as stupid as you. As Shinji said, hasn't he already won? What are you still talking about here?"

"But he ignored the order..."

“Oh.”

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"So? We let them operate the EVA because we need to rely on their own on-the-spot reactions and ideas. If the operation fails, we can learn from it. If it succeeds, then there is no need to reprimand them. What? Captain Katsuragi, you dare to say that according to your plan, Unit-01 will definitely win? Come on, tell me one. How do you plan to fight? Do you want to drive it yourself?"

"But disobeying orders during combat is not allowed..."

"So I said you are a stupid woman..."

Fang Zheng interrupted Katsuragi Misato coldly.

"Ikari Shinji has only been at NERV for a few days? What do you think he is? 007 or Rambo? He's just an ordinary junior high school student, okay? Are you going to train him to be a superman? If you are so capable, why don't you go and operate the EVA yourself? What kind of ability is it to take it out on a child?"

Having said that, Fang Zheng patted Shinji on the head.

"Come on, Shinji, let's go have a feast to celebrate your success today! What do you want to eat?"

"Eh? I..."

"How's the barbecue? It's different from the barbecue in Japan. I had a lot of trouble getting cumin. I'll let you taste our Northwestern flavor... I must let Li eat it this time. Let's go..."

"Ah, yes..."

Although he was a little hesitant, Ikari Shinji was still pulled away by Fang Zheng, leaving Katsuragi Misato standing there alone, clenching her fists and saying nothing.

Haha, stupid woman.

After taking a look at Misato Katsuragi's back, Fang Zheng snorted.

Of course he knew what Katsuragi Misato was thinking, her father died in the Second Impact, so Katsuragi Misato was always thinking about revenge on the apostles. However, she couldn't do it herself, so she set her sights on the pilot.

Why does Misato Katsuragi always ask Shinji Ikari to obey her orders?

How many times did her orders take effect?

The reason is very simple. Only if Shinji Ikari obeys her orders and defeats the angel will Misato Katsuragi feel a sense of "revenge".

If Shinji Ikari defeated the Angel himself, then what does it have to do with her?

It's like a football team playing soccer. If the team wins the game with tactics under the command of the coach, then that's the coach's credit. But if the tactics are useless and the whole thing depends on the brilliance of the talented players, then the team can win even if they replace the coach with a pig. It doesn't matter whether you are the coach or not.

The former media can report that "the great coach saved the team", while the latter media can report that "the great players saved the coach and his team".

Misato Katsuragi wanted to take revenge on the apostles herself, so of course she couldn't tolerate the latter.

So she always asked Shinji Ikari to obey her orders and follow her instructions, and she would get angry if he didn't obey.

However, Shinji Ikari is not a retard.

You are treating others like puppets. Do you really think they can't see anything?

It’s just that when you live under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head.

Just as Fang Zheng said, it was quite unreasonable for Misato Katsuragi to get angry at Shinji Ikari at this time.

Please, he is only a 14-year-old junior high school student. He has not even received military training before coming here. Can you expect him to be like a regular soldier?

So it seems that you, Misato Katsuragi, don’t understand human nature.

But this has nothing to do with Fang Zheng.

After happily scolding Misato Katsuragi, he drove directly home with Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari.

"Um...Mr. Fang Zheng."

However, in the car, Shinji Ikari's autism apparently flared up again.

“Did I do something wrong?”

"Um?"

"Because, as Ms. Misato said, I pilot the EVA to protect all of humanity. I..."

Shinji didn't know how to organize his words, but Fang Zheng understood what he meant. He had argued with Misato before because he was angry. Now that he was no longer angry, he naturally realized whether he had done something wrong. All children are like this, and Shinji Ikari is no exception.

“I think that’s right.”

"Eh? Really?"

"Well, didn't you save those two today... I remember they were your classmates."

"Yes."

"That's it, isn't it?"

"But, Ms. Misato said that I violated the order... If I hadn't violated the order at that time, maybe..."

"Let me ask you, Shinji."

This time, Fang Zheng interrupted Shinji before he could finish his words.

"What?"

"How did you feel when you were asked to drive the EVA and save humanity?"

"this……"

"Doesn't it feel unreal? It's like the teacher suddenly found you and asked you to play the leading role in the next school festival, but you never thought about it? On the surface, you would thank the teacher for giving you the opportunity to play the leading role, but in fact you just want to play a tree on the stage? After all, the leading role has many lines and is annoying. If you mess up, people will blame you. It's better to play a tree, which is easy and simple."

"Ah, um..."

Hearing this, Ikari Shinji also nodded hurriedly, and looked at Fang Zheng with a little more intimacy. After all, he didn't dare to say this to others before, which was normal. Because this idea is quite anti-mainstream. You said that you want me to save humanity, and if I don't save it, then will you all say that I am a coward or a cold-blooded animal?

"So, what about those two classmates you saved?"

“…”

This time, Shinji didn't say anything. Just as Fang Zheng said, compared to the illusory "saving humanity", saving two of his classmates gave him a more practical feeling.

"There's a saying in my hometown, 'If you can't even clean your own room, how can you clean up the world?' It means that if you can't even clean up a room, how can you rule the world? I think this saying is very appropriate here. If you can't even save the two people in front of you, and you still tell me that you want to save humanity, that's really laughable."

“…”

This time Shinji didn't say anything, but his expression was obviously much more relaxed. Then, Ikari Shinji seemed to have thought of something, and looked hesitantly at Rei Ayanami who was sitting in the back without saying a word.

"So, what about Ayanami?"

"Li's situation is a little different from yours. After all, she has been trained as a qualified person for a long time. Although I have only taken over her for more than a month...Okay, clean up and prepare for dinner."

Dinner was naturally harmonious. The Northwest-style barbecue that Fang Zheng prepared was well received by Shinji, who ate a lot of it with his mouth watering. But Rei Ayanami still insisted on not eating it. Shinji Ikari was not surprised by this. Before he quarreled with Misato Katsuragi, Fang Zheng had taken him home to eat several times. At that time, he knew that Rei Ayanami didn't like to eat meat and Fang Zheng was trying to seduce her to eat meat.

But for Shinji Ikari, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, if Ayanami doesn't eat it, then he will have a treat, right?

And that night, Shinji Ikari did not go back to Misato Katsuragi.

Not only that, after just less than a day, he took the initiative to submit an application - hoping to revoke the part that originally allowed Misato Katsuragi to take care of him, and hand him over to Fang Zheng again.

After all, in the anime, Shinji Ikari had no one to rely on except Misato Katsuragi, but here, he felt that he had found a completely new direction.

There was nothing Katsuragi Misato could do about it. Although she regretted it later, through this incident, Katsuragi Misato realized that she had no talent for raising children. Unlike in the anime, Fang Zheng was in charge of this matter, so Katsuragi Misato didn't hesitate and agreed quickly.

Thus, Ikari Gendō's plan was declared bankrupt.

And Fang Zheng officially started his training plan for Ikari Shinji.
