About ten minutes had passed since the end of the combat meeting.

In these ten minutes, a famous master and suitable person have already landed on their respective "baskets" and are waiting for orders, entering them at any time to carry out the transfer of spiritual children.

Luo Zhen is also waiting next to his own "basket".

It's just that...

"It's really unpleasant..."

Next to the "Basket Body", Luo Zhen muttered with an unhappy face.

Next to him, Matthew, who was also waiting next to his "basket body", said as if accepting the facts.

"I didn't expect that my seniors would be excluded from the list of Team A."

Yes.

Luo Zhen is not on the list of Team A.

There were nine of them who had been in the Chaldees a month earlier.

Team A, on the other hand, will select the top eight players in the simulated battle.

In this way, it is natural that one person will be left alone.

is so good that he can't die, this lonely person is Luo Zhen.

"Who made the previous simulated battles of the predecessors not serious?"

Matthew explained his reasons a little helplessly.

That's the fundamental reason.

Although in this month, Luo Zhen has been unprecedentedly active, and the simulated battle has almost every time he has a perfect score, but before that, Luo Zhen has never taken the simulated battle seriously, either just getting a passing grade, or simply not even getting a passing grade, and even sometimes being absent and late, all of which are recorded in the Chaldean computer as real results.

In this way, Luo Zhen's results ranked last, and he was successfully singled.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are left alone or not.

There are people from Team A in front to help him pave the way, and Luo Zhen is also happy and relaxed.

However, Matthew was one of the members of Team A.

Let this girl who is afraid of battle fight alone and go to the special point in advance, how can Luo Zhen rest assured?

"It's okay, Senpai."

It seemed that he saw the worry in Luo Zhen's heart, and Matthew said this very seriously.

"I will definitely pave the way for my predecessors and persist until the arrival of my predecessors."

It's not about being strong, it's about being strong.

Even if he was afraid of fighting, Matthew didn't intend to run away from the fight, let alone hide behind Luo Zhen's back.

In the face of this girl's strength, Luo Zhen couldn't say anything to refute it.

"There's no way..."Luo Zhen could only say to Matthew, "Then you have to be careful." ”

"Yes, I see." Matthew nodded heavily.

Luo Zhen reluctantly put away his complaints, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the command room.

There, a group of Chaldean technicians were in full swing to make the final adjustments to the transfer of the spirit child, constantly manipulating various instruments.

Olga Marie also wandered among the technicians, giving instructions incessantly.

Luo Zhen glanced at the situation, and then frowned.

"Senpai?"

Finding that Luo Zhen was abnormal again, Matthew couldn't help but speak.

But this time, Luo Zhen had no strength left to respond to Matthew.

Luo Zhen just stared in the direction of the command room, his expression extremely serious.

Because, there, there was a person who Luo Zhen had to care about disappeared.

"Where's Leif...?"

None other than Lef.

After carefully searching the interior of the command room, Luo Zhen still did not find Leif's figure.

This reminded Luo Zhen of the feeling that something was wrong when he first met Leif.

This sense of wrongness, now with Leif's disappearance, is growing stronger in Luo Zhen's heart.

In the end, it grew to the point where Luo Zhen was restless.

"How could that man suddenly disappear at such an important moment?"

The more he thought about it, the more Luo Zhen cared.

Thereupon...

"Before... Predecessor? Where are you going? ”

Matthew's stunned voice rang out.

At the same time, the rest of the royal masters and suitables also cast stunned and surprised glances at Luo Zhen one by one.

Luo Zhen didn't care about this, and ran towards the door of the control room, shouting at Matthew without looking back.

"I'll be back soon!"

After shouting, Luo Zhen rushed out of the control room amid Matthew's call and the whispers of everyone.

Faintly, it seems to be accompanied by Olga Marie's roar.

"Lorelei Agnère...!"

Listening to his name being yelled out, Luo Zhen ran out of the control room without looking back.

…………

"Huh... Ha... Hah..."

Not long after he ran out of the control room, Luo Zhen felt that his physical strength was about to run out.

If it were normal times, Luo Zhen would have complained a long time ago, and lay down directly.

But only this time, Luo Zhen kept consuming his physical strength, running in the corridors of Chaldea, and even used the magic of "Bird Summoning" to summon dozens of birds and spread them throughout Chaldea.

Luo Zhen just ran to find it, while dividing his spirit into dozens of parts, sharing his feelings with the demons, looking for Lef's traces.

Being able to divide the feeling into dozens like this, while still doing his own thing, shows that Luo Zhen's ability is excellent.

But...

"No...?"

Supporting one hand on the wall, Luo Zhen, who kept panting, couldn't help but feel a little incredible.

"How could it not be?"

Obviously, they had already divided their feelings into dozens of parts, and together with the flock of demon birds, they searched all over Chaldea, but they didn't even find any trace of Leif.

"Did he take refuge in some important facilities and workshops, or had he simply left Chaldees?"

In the case of the former, because it is an important place, it is generally set up with a defense system and an enchantment, so that the demons cannot enter.

Not to mention the latter, once Leif really left Chaldea, it would be impossible to find it.

No, that's not the problem.

"Why did Leif not only leave the control room at such an important moment, but also nowhere to be found?"

A bad premonition has always been breeding in Luo Zhen's heart.

And unfortunately, Luo Zhen has a hunch that only in the bad aspects has always been so effective.

And so, that happened.

For Luo Zhen and those closest to him, it was enough to decide his fate.

"Boom..."

A muffled sound without any warning suddenly rang out, causing the whole of Chaldea to shake as if it were shaking, and there was a rumbling sound.

"How... What's wrong!? ”

Luo Zhen couldn't help but be surprised.

The next second, a siren sounded throughout the Chaldees.

"There is a state of emergency, there is a state of emergency."

"There was a fire at the central power station and the central control room."

"The wall in the central area will be sealed in 240 seconds, please leave through the second gate quickly."

"Repeat."

"Central Power Station and Central ————"

The cold and merciless siren sounded as soon as it sounded, causing the entire Chaldea to begin a systematic process under the flashing of a red light.

And Luo Zhen's head was completely blank.

"Fire? Control room? ”

These two words flashed through Luo Zhen's mind, and Luo Zhen ran in the direction of the control room before he could react.

Because, there, there are people who are extremely important to Luo Zhen.

"Matthew...!"

With a roar coming out of his throat, Luo Zhen rushed to the control room.
