Chapter 4 Peculiarities
Enemy?
What enemy?
His enemy or ours?
In what place?
All of a sudden, doubts loomed over Olga Marie, Matthew, and Rikka in their minds.
Before the three of them could ask, Roman in the projection seemed to have discovered something.
"A high-energy reaction has been detected, and it is presumed to be a wide-area attack, so immediately dodge! Fast!! ”
Before the words fell, an unparalleled sense of crisis enveloped everyone's hearts.
Immediately afterward, a piercing pop came from afar, the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air at an extremely high speed. Being hit by something of this speed, there is no doubt that humans will turn into meat sauce.
Matthew made an instant decision, holding Rika with his left hand and Olga Marie with his right hand to dodge in a roundabout way.
"There's no need for that!"
Caster, who was the first to warn, did not move, he reached forward without hurrying, and still had time to give the three of them a reassuring look.
"Even though I have to change places, I don't need to be in such a hurry, and it's good to say hello a little. Flames—"
With this announcement, the flames that were quietly burning on both sides of the road suddenly exploded, stirring up a huge pillar of fire with a height of more than ten meters, and the most intense burning part of the fire column happened to engulf the unknown object approaching at high speed.
It was like a detonator meeting a lead, and the pillar of fire exploded instantly, and the violent sound was no less terrifying than the aerial bombs dropped by bombers.
"Say hello and go!"
Interrupted by the light of fire and loud noises, Caster turned the impact of the explosion into thrust with a backhand swing, propelling the bodies of the four men to accelerate away.
By the time the fire had cleared, the group had long since disappeared.
"Ahh
On the roof of a building eight hundred meters away from the site of the explosion, a man hiding in the shadows muttered quietly.
"But—that strange Caster and the Castaways combined...... Looks like I can't continue to hang around outside anymore and must ...... as soon as possible."
Then, the voice vanished along with the figure.
……
Around the same time, Caster led the three of them into the sewers, turning around and coming to a relatively open cavern.
Olga Marie's eyes quickly swept over the tables, chairs, and household items by the wall, and said with a slight surprise.
"I didn't think you'd build a workshop here."
"The more unexpected the place, the safer it is." Caster pulled out the chairs for the three of them, "And I should say that it should be me who didn't think of it, you didn't complain along the way." ”
"What's the complaint? Drill down the drain? ”
Caster nodded.
Olga Marie wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"I'll admit it, I do hate going down this route, but I'm not the kind of wayward lady, and I can still tell the priorities of things."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the admiring eyes of Lixiang and Matthew.
"Director ......"
"Don't look at me like that, do you think I'm the kind of unreasonable person?"
The reaction was similar, but now everyone knew she was just hard-mouthed.
Caster smiled and sat down across from Olga Marie, "No, of course not, you're the head of that place." ”
"It's Chaldeans, the Chaldeans of the human security organ!"
"Yes, Chaldeans. So, Lord Chaldean, can you tell us about your organization and the purpose of your visit, and I'll tell you what's going on in the city - let's talk about it, let's talk about it, the enemy won't be able to find it for a while. ”
"To show sincerity, I'll start first."
Olga Marie skillfully begins the narrative.
Why so skilled? Because she had only spoken to the qualified ones a few hours earlier.
The meaning of the Chaldean existence.
Judgment that humanity will become extinct in 2016.
and the way to save humanity and protect the future of humanity - to travel back in time, to the past, and to correct the peculiarities of history.
A peculiar point, as the name suggests, a special, anomalous point.
The peculiarities of history are the points that are different from the correct history.
Time is a line, everything has cause and effect, and human beings can have the present because of countless pasts. If there is a problem with the cause of the past, there will also be a problem with the effect of the present.
The Chaldeans had special means of observing the past, and although it was not possible to observe it accurately, it was still possible to observe the general context.
Normally, the history of mankind should be a smooth line. But according to the latest observations, there is a black, unobservable point in human history, which is the "peculiar point".
After countless analyses and arguments, the Chaldean researchers believed that the "anomaly" had led to the end of humanity's demise in 2016, so they summoned the qualified and began the mission of traveling through time and space to correct the anomaly.
As a result, on the first mission, there was a violent explosion in the center of the Chaldees. Forty-seven qualified persons and the command were involved, suffering heavy casualties and almost total annihilation.
Only because of the coincidence that Olga Marie was transferred in time, the sub-servant Matthew, who was brought back to life by the power of the Heroic Spirit, and Romani Akiman, who was lucky enough to escape, and Rika Fujimaru, who was lucky enough to escape, were spared.
Later, Romani directs the aftermath in his headquarters, and Olga Marie shuttles alone and is rescued by Caster. Ritsuka and Mathieu are each other's masters and servants, and they have been together, and there are no dangers along the way, and finally they are attracted by the wind summoned by Caster to check, and everyone knows what happened next.
After listening to Olga Marie's narration, even Caster, who is a servant and has experienced legends, inevitably feels a little emotional: "It's really not easy for you. ”
"Ahaha, it seems like that." Ritsuka, who is a bit of a natural person, touched the back of her head and smirked, "So much happened." ”
"Fujimaru, you're now the last master, give me some energy." Olga Marie called a hater who does not make steel.
"Yes! Director. Rikka reflexively stood upright, but there was still a little dazed on her face.
"Okay, okay, no one wants something like this to happen, give him a little time to get used to it, and don't push it too hard." Caster stepped in to clear the way, "I already know your business, it's my turn, how much do you know about what's going on here?" ”
"Not much, because the person involved has concealed information, I only know that a ceremony called the Holy Grail War is being held here, and you should be the servant who participated in the Holy Grail War."
"That's right. I am indeed a servant who has been summoned to participate in the Holy Grail War-"
Caster affirmed Olga Marie's judgment.
The Holy Grail War is a war for the Holy Grail, the Seven Masters summon seven Servants to fight, and the final victor can get the Holy Grail and make a wish to the Holy Grail - the Holy Grail is also known as the universal wishing machine, which has a great attraction for human beings, whether they are living (Master) or dead (Servants).
"—and the last survivor."
