Chapter 2: The Collapse of Human Reason

The year 2015 in the Gregorian calendar is the last era when magic is still established.

The Chaldeans, the organization for the survival of human science, was set up to observe the whole world that could not be seen by magic alone, and that science alone could not balance the whole world, in order to prevent the extinction of mankind.

On this day, the future realm of Chaldeans' constant observation disappeared without warning.

The fact that humanity will perish in 2017 is confirmed...... No, it was proven.

..............

..............

[There are 180 seconds left until the wall is sealed.] Please evacuate the staff who are still in the central area from the second gate immediately.

[System, the transfer of the spirit child has entered the final stage]

[Coordinates: January 30, 2004, Higashiki, Japan]

[Laplace for transmission guarantee, established]

[Added factor to the anomaly, ensured]

[Anti-summon system, already set, please make the final adjustments to the master]

Why.......

"Uh....."

Why........ I'll be here.

"Ah...... Right. Explode. ”

It was an explosion, a sudden explosion that destroyed the entire central control room.

The staff located in the control room, as well as the 47 masters in the 'Lingzi Transfer Frame' except for themselves, are unknown in their lives and deaths....... No, I'm afraid everyone except the people in the frame were killed by the explosion.

Even himself, who was only lucky not to be affected by the explosion, but .......

"Ahem!"

Blood spilled from the corners of Matthew's mouth, and she smiled helplessly as she looked at the huge stone that was crushing her lower body.

The explosion blew up the ceiling, and the square stone fell from it, and it happened to hit her. The body below the waist has been crushed by the weight that the human body cannot bear, and even if it can be rescued, it will not live long at all.

Although I had long known that my life would come to an end one day, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.

She was scared, trembling with fear, but Matthew was more worried about something else than the fear that her life was about to pass.

[Warns observation staff that the state of Chaldeas has changed]

[Sheba's near-future observation data has been rewritten, and it is impossible to confirm the survival of human beings on the earth in the near future, and the future of mankind cannot be guaranteed]

Sheba is the most important and core prop in the Chaldees, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chaldeans exist for it.

The usefulness of Sheba lies in its ability to 'predict the future' to a certain extent on the premise that existing known data is included in the calculations. This may sound unbelievable, but since it was built, Sheba has been 100 percent accurate in observing the future.

In other words, Sheba's prophecy has the potential to come infinitely closer to reality.

And the emotionless broadcast that came from above was tantamount to announcing the end of the world.

The future of mankind has fallen into darkness. The only way to save the future is to travel back in time through the transfer of the spirit child, correct the peculiarities caused by the dislocation of history, and direct human history in the right direction.

However, the 'Master', who has the qualifications for the transfer of the spirit child and the technology that can correct the anomaly, has all fallen in the sudden explosion. The only one who is still awake is Matthew, who is on his deathbed.

"We ........ It is already the last hope of humanity. If we can't carry out the transfer of the spirit son, if we don't stop the collapse of human history, Renli, our future will be ........."

Matthew closed his eyes reluctantly.

Is humanity destined to become extinct on this day.......? This is the fate of humanity.........

"Fu!"

There was a lovely chirp in his ears, and Mathieu looked at it, and a slight smile appeared on his originally low face.

"Fufu, are you alright, great......."

"Fleur......

Standing next to Matthew on all fours, the creature she called 'Fufu' was a small silver creature shaped like a squirrel. It has long ears like a fox, purple hair on the inside of the ears, and a furry appearance that looks like a doll.

Fufu was very close to Matthew, but she generally did not appear in front of anyone other than Matthew, so even many of the Chaldean staff only regarded Fufu as a legend that did not actually exist, not knowing that it was actually real, and it could be described as an incredible creature.

For Matthew, Fufu is more like an irreplaceable companion living together than a pet.

Matthew's eyes looked at it through the cracked glasses, and with pain, he reached out and touched Fufu's head comfortingly, and then closed his eyes regretfully.

God, though I am not your faithful believer, please listen to my last wishesβ€”

"Just once, I really want to look at the blue sky......."

[Standby power connection, the preparation is finished, the Lingzi transfer starts, countdown to three seconds, three, two, one........]

The flames that spread engulfed her.

At the end of her life, she saw a white-haired young man, as if to say something to her, but as the last bit of consciousness dissipated, everything calmed down........

When Matthew woke up again, he saw the night shining with orange fire. A little spark drifted into the air, and when the wind blew, it quickly extinguished, but there was still a golden phosphorescent light that continued to come and go.

The girl stood up from the ground in a daze, and the flexibility of her body startled her more than the change in the environment.

"How come, my hurt ......."

What surprised her was not only the healing body, but also the power that could be clearly felt. If it were her now, I am afraid that she could easily smash the ground with one punch, which was impossible to do without using magic in the past.

And ........

"What ...... is this armor and shield?"

Matthew's original Chaldean uniform had been replaced with dark purple armor, and he held a thick shield taller than her.

At this moment, Matthew recalled the noble and gentle figure he had seen before he died.

Although her memories are very vague, she seems to have been ........ by a white-haired young man who was also wearing armor No, it should be said that he was saved by the [Servant]. She survived by merging with his spiritual base, and in exchange, the Heroic Spirit entrusted her with the future of humanity, hoping that she would be able to carry out her mission in the place of herself, who could no longer survive in this world.

The so-called heroic spirit is the existence of a hero whose great deeds have been left as a legend after his death and have become the object of faith. Normally, the Heroic Spirit, as a force to protect humanity, is called by the will of the world, that is, the 'inhibition force'. And the one who is summoned by humans is the Servant.

As for the armor and shield, they were all the equipment possessed by the Heroic Spirit.

Although none of these things belonged to him, Matthew intuitively felt that the armor aside, the shield in front of him seemed to be a very important thing that should not be easily discarded. But where this premonition came from, there is no way to recall, no way to talk about it, maybe it's just the obsession left by the spirit of the heroic spirit.

Matthew looked away and glanced around.

She was sure that she was supposed to be the one who had been transferred to Fuyuki City in 2004, but the burning ruins weren't a 'city' at all, and more importantly, no one could see them.

So, what's next.......

Just as Matthew was thinking, a cute animal chirp came from her feet.

"Fufu! Fufu! ”

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then looked in surprise at the white-haired creature circling at his feet.

"Fufu!? Why are you here too? ”

"Fu!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, if you don't transfer together, you'll probably die there." Matthew bent down and picked up Fufu, "But it's so nice to have you here, it's always a little uneasy to be alone." ”

"Fufu!" Fu rubbed Mathieu's hand affectionately, jumped on her shoulder with a nimble jump, and then shouted twice into the street ahead, "Fu! Hibiscus! ”

"Huh? Is there anything there? ”

Matthew looked ahead suspiciously, and in the next second, she seemed to feel something, her eyes changed, she stared at the end of the street, and she clenched the grip of her shield, her expression nervous.

Soon, the strange sound of "bang-la-la" and the sound of chaotic footsteps came from a distance, and I saw a teenager with slightly long hair and a black and white sweatshirt suddenly appear at the end of the street.

The young man rushed towards this direction in a panic, and as long as he glanced behind him, he could naturally understand why he was so distracted.

It's a skeleton, a large piece of skeleton.

To be precise, it's a skeleton with a weapon in its hand, and it can run and jump.

The group of skeletons numbered more than a dozen, and they ran after the teenager in a hurry, like a group of wild dogs chasing meat, and at first glance not only did not feel dangerous, but was a little funny.

But the skeletons are a real threat to people.

"That's ......." Matthew, whose eyesight had been strengthened several times, could naturally clearly see the crisis that the young man was facing in the distance, her face suddenly changed, and she rushed forward without thinking.
