Chapter 1066: Chapter 735 Human Continuation Assurance Organization Chapter 1066: Chapter 735 Human Continuation Assurance Organization The howling ice and snow flashed past the window, and Duanmu Huai aimlessly wandered the hallway. That being said, why hadn't he seen a single soul in this place so far? Also, since it was some sort of facility, couldn't they at least put up a map with directions on the wall…
“Tatatata!!”
Just as Duanmu Huai turned a corner, a flurry of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the side. Next, he saw a petite figure dart out and bump right into him.
If this were a shoujo romance manga, the two of them would have been knocked to the ground. If it were a harem manga, then the girl would have either ended up in the protagonist's arms or with her legs apart, seated on the ground, giving the protagonist a glimpse of what was under her skirt.
But alas, this was Duanmu Huai, a two-and-half-meter-tall wall of flesh, so there was only one outcome.
“Ouch!”
Accompanied by a scream, Duanmu Huai saw a girl holding her nose and sitting on the ground. Of course, with his height, he could basically see nothing.
“Ow… How come there's a wall here, it was clearly…”
The girl, holding her bright red nose, complained as she looked up. Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, her expression changed drastically, and she quickly jumped up, making a gun gesture with her hand aimed at Duanmu Huai.
“Who, who are you? Why are you here?”
“I am just the one who answered the call, that… 'Master Candidate'?”
“Master? You?”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's response, the girl frowned and scrutinized him carefully. Then she lifted her left hand and pressed something on the bracelet she was wearing. A holographic image then appeared in front of the girl.
“Duanmu Huai, special representative from the Tribunal… okay then…”
The girl compared the information in front of her with Duanmu Huai, nodded her head after cross-referencing them, and then lowered her hand.
“It seems you are indeed the Master. I am Olga Marie Animusphere, director of Chaldea, the Human Continuation Assurance Organization.”
“I am Duanmu Huai, Big Judge of the Tribunal, nice to meet you.”
Duanmu Huai nodded at Olga Marie, who stared at him before taking a step back.
“Hmm, hello, and welcome to Chaldea…”
While she spoke, Olga Marie glanced around, then her eyes lit up as if she had found something.
“Mash! You're just in time! Come over here!!”
“Ah, Director, is something wrong?”
As the voice rose, Duanmu Huai then saw a girl with pink hair and glasses approach. Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, she, too, seemed startled and involuntarily stopped in her tracks. Maybe it was the presence of a companion that gave Olga Marie the confidence to puff out her chest proudly.
“He's the newcomer who just arrived at Chaldea. I have urgent matters to attend to, and since you're here, you can show him around and help him get acquainted with the place. Oh, and don't forget to participate in the upcoming preparation meeting!”
Having said that, Olga Marie turned and ran away without looking back–whether she truly had urgent matters or just wanted to flee, or perhaps it was a bit of both?
Watching Olga Marie disappear in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Huai and the girl gave each other a silent glance before Duanmu Huai coughed.
“Hello, Miss, my name is Duanmu Huai, Grand Judge from the Tribunal.”
“Ah, hello, nice to meet you, senior.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, the girl quickly bowed her head.
“My name is Mash, Mash Kyrielight, pleased to meet you, senior. Please, follow me…”
As he followed Mash deeper into the facility, Duanmu Huai chatted with her and more or less understood some information about what exactly Chaldea was doing. According to Mash, Chaldea was an observatory and a research institution that gathered researchers from various fields without distinguishing between magic and science, all to ensure that human history would continue robustly and extensively.
Hmm, that was indeed similar to his own Tribunal. Currently, Duanmu Huai's Tribunal did not differentiate between science and magic either, which made him feel a bit of fondness for this organization called Chaldea.
Their primary research here was the development of the Earth Environment Model Chaldeas. According to the world's magical civilization theory, the planet itself possesses a soul, and this model was a miniature Earth that mimicked the soul of Earth. As long as lights remained lit on the model, it meant that humans still had a future.
However, the reason for the summoning trial this time was that all the lights on the model had gone out, indicating the end of civilization. According to their observations, humanity was predicted to go extinct in December 2016. After conducting investigations, they discovered Spatial Singularity F–a domain that wasn't supposed to exist in history and was undetectable.
Chaldea considered it the cause of human extinction and proposed a Spirit Particle Conversion experiment–a plan to send people back to the past to intervene and instigate change.
“So, to put it simply, that environmental model predicted human extinction, and the problematic node is in some city from twelve years ago?”
After listening to Mash's explanation, Duanmu Huai finally understood what was going on. If human history were compared to the branches of a tree, then they were located on the upper part of this branch. But someone had gone back to the past and cut off this branch from below.
