Chapter 205: The Human Instrumentality Project

Chapter 205: The Human Instrumentality Project

Moon, Lingus' house.

Lacus placed Ade in the middle of the dining room table, carefully adjusting his posture so that Ade didn't roll around on the table. Then she took the test tube with Lilith from the refrigerator and placed it side by side with Ade. After all this, she pulled out the chair and sat down gently, looking at the silver-white spherical object seriously.

Alice looked at Lacus confused, and then looked at Mineva, who was holding a glass of water and taking small sips. She raised her hands and asked, "Lacus, what are we doing? Didn't you say you had a way to change Ade back?"

"Yes, but we can't let Ikari Yui know that way," Lacus looked up at the time, "C.C. and the other girls should be back soon, I'll tell you when they get back."

"Oh." Alice nodded obediently, and the space once again fell into silence.

After a while, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance. Not long after, C.C. and Momoka, who had changed their shoes, came in one after the other. The former had a haggard look on her face.

"Ange is settled in the hospital and Loran has sent someone to take care of her. The doctor says she's out of danger, but the wounds are healing too fast" C.C. took off her jacket as she walked, and the maid behind her took it and hung it up for her, "Didn't you go to see Aeolia? What did he say?"

"Exactly the same thing as Ikari Yui said, with the current human technology, there is nothing that can be done about Ade's situation. Either wait until technology develops or simply give up." Lacus watched C.C. sit down across from her, while Momoka stood obediently behind C.C. "Mineva tried that too, neither Ade nor Lillith could be sensed. They both may be out of a similar situation now."

"The key is that Lillith is not there now either, otherwise, we could still think of a way." C.C.'s eyebrows frowned, picked up the glass of water placed in front of her, and drank it all, "Maybe we can only wait "

"But have you thought about it, C.C.?" Lacus said softly, "What if human science and technology can't develop to that degree that is able to save Ade? What if the human race were extinct because of the loss of Ade? What if Ade's LCL container is destroyed by people with bad intentions? What if even the technological development had developed and Ade still couldn't be saved?"

C.C. was silent for a little while, "Do you have a solution?"

"Yes, I do have a solution, thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls provided by Ikari Yui." Lacus smiled faintly, "Since the solution will eventually depend on Lilith, let's build a Lilith."

"Do you mean create a new Lilith by us?" C.C. eyes rounded, "Lacus, Lillith is the creator of all Lilin, is this kind of thing really possible to do?"

"It can be done, for Ade, there is nothing that can't be done." Lacus' blue-gray pupils flowed a firm and icy gaze, "The Laplace program is currently in my hands, we first follow the clues to find the box, destroy all angels, and then artificially trigger the second impact. When all humanity returns to the sea of LCL, we seize the collective consciousness of Lilin, taking the opportunity to recreate Ade by using the authority of Lillis and Adam. That's my plan."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" C.C. stood up at once with her trembling hands braced on the table, "Do you know what the Second Impact means? What's the difference between doing that and the plan of the madman Charles?!"

"Of course there's a difference." Lacus stared at her without flinching, "He was trying to seize power, eventually make himself a god, unify the consciousness of all mankind, and create a world without lies, while I'm just an ordinary wife trying to get my husband back."

"No, it's not like that." C.C. pointed aggressively at the test tube on the table, "Lillith is already like this, triggering the second impact can only be done by the contact between the angels and Adam. In the first place, you have no way at all to ensure that you can dominate the collective consciousness."

"I already said I have a way, all the technical details are designed, and I have the funds for the operation ready. The only problem that needs to be solved is the lack of manpower and force." Lacus stood her elbows on the table and crossed her fingers in front of her, "This plan is only waiting to be finally implemented, and will definitely be implemented. C.C., are you in?"

"Mineva, do you understand what Lacus is saying?" C.C. dropped her head feebly, her long hair covering her face, "She wants to get Ade back by wiping out all of humanity, well, you heard right, wiping out all of humanity."

The scale of things was suddenly too big for the young girl to comprehend, Mineva shrank into a ball in horror, looking left at C.C. and right at Lacus, not knowing what to do.

"Mineva is still young, she can't understand what we're talking about, don't get her involved." Lacus shook her head with an indifferent look, "Now that Ange is in a coma, I have no intention of discussing it with anyone else, give me your answer."

"Answers?" C.C. slowly raised her head, "Do you need me to tell you what kind of person Ade is? Don't you know the actual reason why he was working so hard? Even if this kind of thing can succeed, he will not be happy at all!"

"Then ask him to tell me!" Lacus slapped the table and stood up abruptly, shouting hysterically, "How do I know what he thinks now? You tell him to stand in front of me and tell me himself!"

"He's a NewType, don't you get it?" C.C. yelled at the top of her lungs, "Even if he does come back the way you did, how do you expect him to be strong enough to live with a world that was destroyed because of him? He said he loved the world! He'll go crazy!"

"Time will heal everything, that's what you told me." Lacus took a deep breath to control her violent emotions, there was a vague sparkle in her eyes, "I can't be sure if NewTypes and Coordinators will be LCLed, but even if we are all gone, his favorite Ange can always be with him. That's enough."

"Lacus, calm down, don't be impulsive." C.C. raised her two hands, "We can consider it after Ange wakes up, and then discuss it with Loran and Aeolia. I believe we can always find a way."

"Don't say irresponsible words. We all know Ikari Yui's and Dr. Aeolia's judgment, and you can't deny that this is probably the only way." Lacus pursed her lips with mixed feelings, "In fact, from the time Ade was swallowed by The Twelfth Angel Leliel, I guessed that this day might come. This is the answer I've been thinking about since then, not the result of any impulse."

"Ade would never agree to this plan if he was there." C.C. thought fast about what to say, "Think about yourself, in case your plan really succeeds, how are you going to face Ade when he comes back? How is he going to face you?"

"He said he would forgive me." Lacus spread a smile, "If he chooses not to forgive me, then I will take responsibility and die."

"But"

"No more buts, C.C., the argument ends here." Lacus looked up at the clock again, "Yes, or no, give me your answer."

"Do you need to ask? I'll take responsibility to stop you, Ade wouldn't want to see you commit such a" C.C. suddenly froze, "What did you put in the tea?

Lacus faintly smiled, "I knew you would not agree, but I could not beat you, so I had to resort to this."

C.C. moved her arms a little and found that her nerve response was starting to lag, but she decisively ignored this and lifted her feet towards Lacus: "You think that's going to restrain me? That's naive, I"

Several silver streams wrapped around C.C.'s body like lightning, and in an instant, she was bound. C.C. struggled a bit and found herself unable to move. She couldn't help but roared, "Alice!"

"I never underestimate the threat posed by force, I always play it with caution." Lacus chuckled softly, "Humans are nothing to Alice, her position is actually very clear, isn't it?"

C.C. pinned her hopes on the character that Lacus might have overlooked. She called out that name with her last strength, "Momoka!"

"Sorry." The owner of that name replied behind her, "I'm also "

Only to feel a sharp blow to the back of her head, and then C.C. couldn't feel anything. Momoka held her body and softly put her on the sofa, "The maid's main goal is to make her master happy, so if her master is missing, the maid must find her master back."

Lacus, who was watching everything develop as expected, sighed and went to Mineva's side and stroked the little girl's head compassionately: "I'm going out with Alice and Momoka for a while, and we'll be back with Ade. You can look for Mayu or Cagalli for help, then"

"Don't touch me." Mineva smacked Lacus's hand away, "What are you doing? Going to run away?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just remember that I will bring Ade back." Lacus ignored the little girl's resistance and patted her little head, "But you probably can't wait for the day to fight for Ade with me. When the time comes, go and fight Ange."

Mineva wanted to say something more, but she could no longer resist the sleepiness, closed her eyes, and fell into Lacus' arms.

Lacus carried Mineva back to her room, took off her shoes and clothes, and put on her bear pajamas and tucked her in before she came downstairs, while Momoka and Alice were all ready and waiting in the living room.

"Momoka, you drive." Lacus tossed the car key to the maid, who caught it with one hand, "Alice, you take Ade and Lilith, we are leaving now."

The car was traveling alone underground. Momoka had never been to this place before and was just driving strictly following the navigation provided by Lacus.

Lacus on the passenger side was now whispering on her cell phone, "Passwords, boot code, I want them all sorry, you have no right to refuse. If you don't want you and your sister's affairs to be on the headlines of major websites around the world early tomorrow morning don't ask the reason, there's no point don't try to convince me, I just need to know yes or no very well, thanks for your cooperation."

Momoka glanced at the silent Alice and said to Lacus, who had just hung up the phone, "Since there is not enough fighting power, aren't the MSs in Ade-san's hangar more convenient to get?"

"Those are not enough." Lacus pulled off the phone battery directly, casually throwing it out of the window, "The best choice is TurnA, but Ade had returned TurnA to Loran and Diana. So we can only choose the current one. "

"Then "Momoka thought about it and asked, "After leaving the moon, where are we going?"

"There is my secret stronghold on Earth, and we will use it as a base for our future activities." Lacus looked out of the car window, "I had proposed to give it to Ade, but was rejected by him. I  didn't expect it to be able to come in handy again."

"It seems that you have everything arranged, please don't have to worry about giving me the task, I assure you that I will be able to complete it." Momoka murmured, "As long as we can get Ade-san back "

"I thought you would choose to stay and take care of Ange, I didn't expect you to come with me. " Lacus looked at her out of the corner of her eye, "Momoka, you"

"I am very clear about my role, I am an appendage, a gift to Her Highness Angelise. My master's happiness is my happiness, a qualified maid is not allowed to think other things." Momoka interrupted her in a loud voice, "Miss Lacus, we are here."

Lacus sighed silently, got out of the car and walked to the coded door, entering the access instructions she just got from the phone.

Relying on the leaks from the core staff, the rest of the way was unhindered, and the three of them made it all the way to the innermost hangar without a hitch. As Alice turned on the lighting, a chic, angular Gundam appeared in their sights.

"You really have chosen this path." Ikari Yui slowly paced out from the shadows, "I felt something was wrong when you approached me for the Dead Sea Scrolls, you planned it from then on, didn't you?"

"Ade is always surrounded by smart and beautiful women," Lacus laughed helplessly, "And you're not only one of the smartest, but you're also an assistant and a student. You have some new attributes that no one else has."

"This kind of trash talk is meaningless to me, I can't let you continue your madness any longer. Shinji will die." As Ikari Yui reached for her pocket, she saw a black shadow flashing before her eyes, followed by a pain in the back of her neck, "What"

Momoka put Ikari Yui gently on the floor and returned to Lacus' side with a cold look. The latter looked at the young girl lying unconscious on the floor and sighed, "Violence is always the most direct means of solving problems, but smart people always think they can ignore violence."

"Lacus, ignore her, let's hurry up and move." Alice raised the silver sphere, showing impatience, "Will we also put Ade and Lillith in the cockpit? But there is no fixed place inside, what if the tubes are broken or lost?"

"So we need two safe places "Lacus recalled the information of the MS and pondered for a moment, "Then let's put them inside the GN-Drive. There should be no safer place. "
