Chapter 1: The War to Reclaim the Future

- Humanity will become extinct in 2016.

How would you feel if someone said such things to you?

The first reaction must be that the person speaking is crazy or stupid, or that he believes in a cult or has a secondary two illness - no matter what time it is.

Needless to say after 2016, we are still alive and well, and you may be dreaming and not waking up.

Before 2016, it wasn't much worse, after all, the apocalyptic theory had appeared several times, such as in 1999, and in 2012. It turns out that it is all fake, and humans are still alive and well, and they are still the only masters on this planet.

But what if this conclusion is the highest peak in the world, and the top scientific research institutions have calculated and verified it countless times?

The same conclusion has been reached by the highest-level organizations that sound like myths and legends, but in fact are real, exercising mysterious powers that cannot be explained by science.

Can you laugh out loud and scoff so easily?

I'm afraid as long as it's a normal person, it's impossible to do it.

No matter how powerful you are, no matter how rich you are, you are all equal in the face of the crisis of human extinction.

Survival is the first instinct of life.

Ants still steal life, let alone humans?

So the people who knew the news joined hands and began to save themselves, and began to look for the cause of their demise.

No country, no race, because in the face of the crisis of the extinction of all mankind, that is meaningless.

After frequent checks, all possibilities are screened out one by one.

Humanity has found an answer and pinned its hopes on a certain technology - "travel back in time, go back in time, eliminate peculiarities"!

It may sound like a fantasy, but in reality humanity has touched this realm. Besides, it is possible to even peek into the future and conclude that humanity will die in 2016, and it seems that it is not impossible to go back to the past.

The person who presided over this project was the "Phoenix Chaldeans, the organ for the guarantee of the survival of human beings".

It is an organization of research institutes and observatories from all over the world, which gathers researchers in various fields, regardless of science or mystery.

There is only one purpose, to ensure that the history of mankind can continue long and strongly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the last line of defense of mankind.

It was the morning of July 30, 2015.

"It's today."

Olga Marie, who is only 23 years old, patted her cheek and straightened her appearance in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

Although it may not seem like the real thing, she is the last line of defense of mankind, the head of the Chaldeans, that is, the supreme responsible.

"Director, the time is almost up." A male alert is heard from the communicator connected to the internal loop.

"Got it, here it is."

Finally pulling her bow tie, Olga Marie stepped out of the mirror, saying to herself as she routinely said to herself a moment before touching the door's sensors.

"I won't let you down, father."

Her father, Marisbilly Animsfia, was the founder and original director of the Chaldees.

The daughter inherits her father's business, which seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the pressure she is carrying is only known to herself. If she does it well, she should do it, and if she does it badly, she will be incompetent, and not only herself, but even the reputation of her deceased father will be disgraced.

So, she's been working really hard and trying to be the best she can be in every way and not give people any chance to attack, especially today, this crucial day.

With a swipe of the palm and a "swish", the auto-sensing door opened.

"Good morning, Director."

The man waiting outside the door greeted him customarily, and Olga Marie frowned slightly.

"Good morning, Romani. What about Leif, why didn't he come? ”

"Professor Reif said to do the final check-up, let me meet the director."

"That's right, on such an important day today, it's good to check more, he has always been so careful."

Olga Marie's expression softened considerably. Leif was one of the most important Technologists in the Chaldees, and at the same time she had longed for her since she was a girl.

The man known as Romani hesitated for a moment and said, "Director, can I make a suggestion?" ”

"Say."

"When you meet with the Master's Qualifications later, please keep that on your face. It's fine that we're old employees, but many of us who are new to Chaldea may be ...... Scare them. ”

In the end, Romani may have felt that it was a little inappropriate, and his voice was much quieter, but unfortunately it was too late, and Olga Marie's expression was even worse than when she walked out of the room, exuding a piercing aura.

"Romani, I accept your suggestion. But again, I have to give you a piece of advice, no, it's an order! You are not allowed to be present at today's opening ceremony, as long as you are there, the atmosphere will not be serious! ”

"If I don't go to the venue, where should I go?" Romeani asked with a wry smile.

"Wherever you go. Don't think I don't know, what you do best is being lazy. ”

Olga Marie said angrily, turned and left.

"Director ......"

"Don't call me, you can come by yourself when the mission officially begins."

The voice still sounded angry, as if he didn't want to see the man of ordinary height, ordinary figure, ordinary appearance, except for the pink hair that was a little conspicuous, and had no characteristics.

Actually, Olga Marie was not so angry. After all, she has known this man for more than ten years, and the other party has watched her grow up, and she also recognizes his abilities in all aspects, but-

"If only he weren't so lazy, he would have become a man no worse than Leif, well, if he wasn't lazy, he wouldn't be him."

The woman walking alone in the hallway put her hand to her cheek, but put it down and shook her head before touching it.

"I don't want to keep a straight face all the time, it's just that if I don't do that, I'm afraid not many people will listen to me."

Thinking so, Olga Marie straightened her face again, and walked to the conference room in the heart of Chaldea, standing alone in the chair's place, and giving a speech to everyone below.

"Welcome to the Secret Service, Chaldea. I am the director of the Chaldeans, Olga Marie Asmiret Animsfia. ”

"You are people who have been selected by the nations, or who have been found to have rare talents. The so-called talent is the adaptability to the infiltration of the reiko, the person who has the magic circuit, and the person who has the qualifications to become the master. ”

"That being said, this is just a special talent, and it doesn't mean that you are a special person. Remember, you are just a tool for the preservation of human history. ”

The speech was prepared long ago and rehearsed countless times beforehand, carefully considering the possible consequences of each sentence. Now, for example, there is a murmur of dissatisfaction clearly mixed with dissatisfaction, but this has long been expected.

As she just said, the people here are real geniuses, and geniuses are always arrogant, and if they don't give them a dismount, the next management will be more difficult.

Today is the opening ceremony of the "Time Travel" project, and after the ceremony, the qualified people will start time travel and officially fight to save humanity. She didn't want to see someone disobey orders and act privately during the mission.

Olga Marie took a deep breath and loudly suppressed all the noise.

"Silence! If you can't accept it, leave Chaldea at once! ”

Of course, no one has left, this is the Antarctic continent, and those who leave have only a dead end, which is also a necessary step for them to recognize the reality and who is the chief.

"Good. We in Chaldea have achieved a lot so farβ€”"

The volume decreases, and the expression softens slightly.

A slap in the face and a candy give, this is the management science that my father taught himself.

However, she was just about to begin to state the honor of the Chaldeans and the importance of her mission when a distinct breath reached his ears.

This sound is very familiar to her, and when people are sleeping, they will make much heavier inhaling and exhaling sounds than usual because of their body position or respiratory system, commonly known as snoring.

Who dares to snore while I am speaking, who dares to sleep at such an important moment!

Olga Marie suppressed her anger, her eyes swept over the room, and soon she found the person she was looking forβ€”a black-haired, good-looking teenager who was sleeping soundly with his head bowed.

Recall data from a portable data terminal.

"At the end of the sequence, number 48, ordinary people."

A total of 48 qualified people are selected to ensure diversity and more possibilities. 38 people were selected by the major celebrities of various countries, and the other 10 people were screened from ordinary people, and the boy who fell asleep was obviously one of the 10 people.

Olga Marie did not have much dissatisfaction with this plan, she was only dissatisfied with the teenager's sleeping behavior. As soon as he established his authority, someone did this, didn't he go against himself?

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they must be punished, otherwise the image they have built up with great difficulty will be greatly reduced.

There is no need to hesitate, decisively pull people up and throw them out of the conference room.

This is not enough, there must be heavier punishments.

By the way, kick him out of his first mission and deprive him of the greatest glory of being here!

Anyway, there are 47 of them, not worse than his one! Give me back to my room for reflection!

After standing up again, Olga Marie looked at the obviously much more upright people below, and then at Leif who smiled approvingly behind her, nodded in satisfaction, and continued the ceremony.

Tell about the history and achievements of the Chaldees.

Tell the mission that the qualified people are about to carry.

Explain the precautions for time and space travel, and how to use the auxiliary equipment "Lingzi Frame".

Then distribute the battle suits for the mission, wait for everyone to change their clothes, and the first time travel will officially begin.

"This is a war to reclaim the future of humanity! Olga Marie Asmiret Animsfia, Director of the Chaldean Security Agency, announced that the First Order has been launched, and the transfer of the Spiritual Child has begun! ”

In the midst of the impassioned and high-pitched female voice, the central system of the Chaldeans began to operate according to a pre-set program.

"Anti-summoning system, activate."

"Start the spirit child transformation."

"There are still 3 or 2 ...... left before the transfer of the spirit child begins"

During the countdown, Olga Marie's tense body finally relaxed.

Well, I succeeded, father.

I will surely carry on your legacy and ensure the prosperity of mankind.

However, just as there was one last second left in the countdown, she was about to exhale her last breath.

Buried six thousand meters underneath, the core area that even the world-famous Tsar hydrogen bomb "Big Ivan" could not shake suddenly began to shake.

The dazzling fire and piercing roar engulfed all the frames in an instant, and then the entire command center.

"Noβ€”"

Olga Marie only had time to shout before she lost consciousness from the violent impact.

At the last moment when consciousness was taken away, she vaguely saw a vague figure flashing by.

The man's hair appeared to be red, the same color as the burning flames.
