Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Seeing Shiomi coming, Olga Marie immediately showed a relaxed expression. With only Leonardo da Vinci by her side, she really couldn't feel at ease.

"Are you going to open it?" he asked.

"No, it's still three minutes away from opening," said Da Vinci.

"You guys really want to meddle in everything." Goldruf was slightly dissatisfied, but he could do nothing about it.

After all, he is only the deputy director. He has some authority, but not much. He has no control over Shiomi and Romani at all.

Shiomi raised an eyebrow: "Are you alone here, Goldruf? Where's your fox-like female secretary?"

"She's got something else to do," Goldruff explained casually, obviously not taking it seriously.

"Oh..." Shiomi made a meaningful sound.

He has investigated Koyanskaya in the past few days. The company that the other party calls NFF Service was established around March, while Koyanskaya started to work in the economic field at the beginning of the year.

Goldroof's auction of Chaldea's rights was the result of Koyanskaya's lobbying.

Although this woman of unknown origin did not exude any magical aura, she could not hide her powerful fighting ability.

Conservatively speaking, it can be on par with excellent servants.

Unfortunately, that woman has been socializing in Chaldea these days, but has always been careful to avoid contact with Shiomi and his related people.

Of course, everyone on the review team was avoiding Shiomi.

——Although most of them are due to the simple and sufficient reason of “fear of death”.

“Chaldea, which my father left behind, is now…” Olga Marie was a little sad.

"You've done everything you can. There's nothing we can do about it. No one knows about Leif's conspiracy." Shiomi said softly to comfort him.

At this time, the staff on the scene made a report:

"Three minutes have passed. Now open the basket of the first Master of Group A, Kirshtalia Vodem."

With a familiar sound, the hatch of the basket opened.

However, the inside of the basket was covered with white frost, and there was no human figure.

Not only that, the other five baskets that were opened one after another were also empty, with no signs of the Masters who were in cryo-sleep.

"How could this be! Four days ago, I personally confirmed their condition!" Olga Marie panicked.

Shiomi was about to wonder if other people who had come into contact with the basket during these four days had tampered with it without Chaldea's knowledge, intending to frame them.

Suddenly, the alarm in Chaldea sounded.

"Warning, warning, observations at this moment, ██ occurred."

“This is——!”

Romani and everyone who were checking the basket were suddenly startled.

Chapter 59: Pursuit

"There are no consistent records of observation results in the past, so it is difficult to respond, forecast, and predict based on statistics."

"Observations, no anomalies detected, electromagnetic waves could not be fully detected."

"No cosmic rays have been detected that are directed toward Earth."

"The satellite images have been interrupted. Contact with the Mauna Kea Observatory has been lost. Now - no other celestial bodies can be detected from Earth."

After a series of strange broadcasts, the celestial sphere of Chaldeas suddenly stopped moving, fell into a frozen state, and cracks appeared.

“Huh?! I didn’t do anything!”

When Shiomi grabbed Goldruf's collar and was about to question him, the other party panicked and hurriedly made excuses.

He knew the value of that thing.

There is no doubt that he was panicked and indeed ignorant.

However, as it happened suddenly, Xijian decided to ask nearby, and then when he was sure that it was unnecessary, he let go.

"Intruders confirmed. Magical power detected from the front gate, the third gate, and the sixth gate! What is this? It's increasing... and still increasing?!"

The staff in the control room confirmed the situation from the radar and reported it immediately.

But the observation mirror Sheba also stopped working.

Romani immediately ran back to the command seat, called up Chaldea's cameras, and projected the images onto all available screens.

Countless human soldiers dressed in strange clothes and wearing medieval bird-man masks, led by a silver-haired girl, surrounded Chaldea.

The guards guarding the various gates sent communications to report the attacks on the gates.

Then the guards brought by Goldruf began to scream one after another and stopped communicating.

"Tsk..."

Shiomi gasped, grabbed Olgamari's hand and ran out. No matter what it was, the attack on Chaldea had already begun, and they had to prepare for evacuation immediately.

As he ran, he greeted Romani.

"Doctor, stop looking at the surveillance camera and leave!"

Romani immediately ran out the door with several staff members in the control room.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Goldruf was so frightened that he froze and asked in a panic, "What happened?"

"If you don't know, run quickly! Unless you want to die here!"

After saying this, Shiomi ran out with Olga Marie and met up with Romani and the others in the corridor.

"Next...we can only follow that plan!" said Da Vinci.

"But Chaldea!" Olga Marie hesitated for a moment, "And my... body!"

Xijian grabbed her shoulders and said seriously: "Surviving is the most important thing! Chaldea and the inheritance mark are not as important as your own life. Don't... let my saving you become a meaningless bubble."

"……I see."

His words calmed Olga Marie down immediately.

Everyone ran along the Chaldea corridor towards the hangar, where the mobile fortress that Leonardo da Vinci was about to complete was stored.

"Da Vinci, you lead the way, let's go to the container. Romani, quickly contact the others, no matter if it's Madam Ash or the Master, tell them to take the others there quickly."

However, Chaldea was invaded extremely quickly, and the Chaldean Corridor, which had been as bright and clean as new not long ago, was now in ruins.

The Christmas decorations that had not yet been taken down were now scattered on the ground, stepped on countless times, and mixed with broken glass and gravel.

"stop!"

Shiomi suddenly gave an instruction, and Gungnir instantly appeared, spinning in his palm.

There was a flash of fire, and the ground in front of him was covered with all kinds of bullets.

The soldiers who invaded Chaldea have already entered and started suppressing activities towards the control room.

On the road they passed, they could see the bodies of dead investigators and Chaldean personnel.

Obviously these people do not belong to the Magic Association.

"Da Vinci, protect everyone."

Shiomi took a deep breath, and his magic circuits, which had basically recovered, started working again, filling his whole body with magic power.

Just as the soldiers were about to reload their bullets and shoot again, they were pierced by a cold light and their bodies fell down powerlessly in an instant.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Xijian shook the gun that was still as good as new.

The blow was so fast that blood couldn't even get on it.

He turned around and waved to everyone, and they started running again, continuing to retreat towards the hangar.

Obviously, the number of soldiers was limited, and it was still too scarce for Chaldea, so they were divided into several teams to suppress the enemy separately. This also resulted in limited time for other teams to rush to support after a team fell silent.

Soon, the hangar door was in sight.

The bodies of soldiers were scattered everywhere outside the door, and most of them seemed to have died from attacks with spears and swords.

The door opened, and a container as big as the control room appeared in front of them. Scathach, Morgan, and Altria stood guard outside, alert to the surrounding situation.

When they saw Xi Jian and his group arriving, they all looked relieved.

"Where are the survivors?" Olga Marie asked.

"When we received the call, those soldiers had already invaded Chaldea." Scathach shook her head. "We tried our best to search and rescue on the road, but only found seventeen survivors. Including the ones who followed you, there are a total of nineteen surviving employees."

Of course, this number does not include the Shiomi family and managers like Olga Marie and Romani.

"Hey! Where are you going... Don't leave me behind!"

Goldruf appeared at the door of the hangar. He looked quite disheveled, with blood all over his face and body, but he was not seriously injured.

"Why are you alone? Where are the others?" Xijian turned around and asked.

"Killed by...those soldiers..." Goldruf panted, his legs trembling.

If he hadn't known some magic tricks, he would probably have died on the road.

Behind him, another dozen bird-masked soldiers came over.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Shiomi grabbed Goldruf and threw him into the container.

"Lock him up first and interrogate him after we set off."

Then Goldruf was put at gun and sword at the neck by Scathach and Altria and was taken into the container.

"Where's the teacher?" Olga Marie asked loudly from behind.

"I'll cover you, you guys quickly start the container!"

Shiomi reached out and closed the door leading to the hangar, then rushed towards the soldiers who were gradually catching up and increasing in number.

Even though there were dozens of them and they were stronger than ordinary soldiers, they were no match for him.

After quickly dealing with this wave of pursuers, Shiomi looked out the window in the corridor.

"Then once the container starts sliding down the hill, we can break the window in the corridor and jump onto the container—"

Before he could finish his muttering to himself, he felt a chill behind him. Xijian turned around and swung his gun, colliding with the opponent's attack.

"Unfortunately, your journey ends here."

After seeing clearly the attacker who was speaking, Shiomi found that he was not that surprised.

Chapter 60 Snow Mountain Retreat

Kotomine Kirei.

At the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, that man was killed from behind by the Greater Holy Grail that he had summoned.

After that, Shiomi also investigated Ryudo Temple through the Holy Church and the Magic Association, but in the end, no bodies or even remains were found.

So now, more than twenty years later, when they met again in Chaldea in Antarctica, Shiomi suddenly had a feeling that this would inevitably happen one day.

"It has been twenty-three years since we last met face to face." Kotomine Kirei put his hands behind his back and smiled shamelessly, "I have aged a lot, but Shiomi-kun still looks the same. It really makes me feel emotional."

Compared to 1994, Kotomine Kirei looks much more aged.

"Are you the mastermind behind this attack?" Shiomi held the gun.

There was a startup sound coming from behind the door. In a few minutes, the container would break out. He had to prevent anyone from approaching and hindering the retreat.

"No, I'm just one of the personnel ordered to fight." Kotomine Kirei put his hands behind his back and spoke in a nostalgic tone, "Originally, I should have come to Chaldea as a dispatched personnel of the Holy Church to participate in the investigation. Unfortunately, you are here, so I can only hide in the dark."

"The Holy Church actually allowed the illegal agent to re-enter the interior." Shiomi sneered.

"I'll have to trouble Ms. Goyanskaya to take care of this. She helped me obtain another identity in the Russian branch of the Holy Church, and then came here." Kirei explained calmly, "To be honest, it doesn't matter what happens to the other people in Chaldea, but you must stay here."

"Try if you can." Xi Jian frowned, not disguising his murderous intent, "You look stronger now, compared to before, I also want to see how you are now."

It was Shiomi's fault that he was not able to put an end to Kirei with his own hands last time.

This time, whether for Kallen or for someone else, he must kill this man.

The robes on Kirei's body had obviously been specially modified, and even though he was hit by Shiomi's gun, it made a sound of metal collision.

The strange aura he exuded made Shiomi feel that he was very similar to those living servants, but not as weak as most of the servants when they were alive.
