Obviously, he had divided his senses into dozens of parts and searched the whole Chaldea with the group of tamed birds, but he couldn't even find Lev's trace.
"Did he hide in some important facility or workshop, or did he just leave Chaldea?"
The former was an important place, so it was generally set up with a defense system and enchantment, and the tamed demons couldn't get in.
Not to mention the latter, once Rafe really left Chaldea, it would be impossible to find him.
No, that's not the problem.
"Why at such an important moment, Rafe not only left the control room, but also disappeared?"
A bad premonition has been growing in Reynolds's heart.
Unfortunately, Reynolds's premonition was only accurate when it came to bad things.
Therefore, that thing happened.
For Reynolds and the people closest to him, it was enough to decide their fate.
"Boom …"
A muffled sound suddenly resounded without any warning, making the whole Chaldea seem to be shaking, and there was a rumbling sound.
"What … what happened!?"
Reynolds couldn't help but be surprised.
In the next second, an alarm sounded throughout Chaldea.
"There is an emergency, there is an emergency."
"There is a fire in the central power station and the central control room."
"The wall in the central area will be blocked in 240 seconds, please leave from the second gate quickly."
"Repeat."
"The central power station and the central …"
The cold and ruthless alarm sounded, and the whole Chaldea began to deal with the fire under the flashing red light.
Reynolds's mind was completely blank.
"Fire? Control room? "
These two words flashed through Reynolds's mind. Before he could react, Reynolds ran wildly in the direction of the control room.
Because there were people who were very important to Reynolds.
"Mashu …!"
Reynolds screamed from his throat and ran to the control room. Someday in the future, Reynolds would certainly make such an evaluation of himself today.
"This is the first and the last time in my life that I have to go beyond my physical limit."
That was because no matter how tired and weak his body was, the anxiety in his heart still made Reynolds rush to the central control room without caring about anything else. He was so anxious that he didn't even have the energy to summon his Familiar. He could only rush forward without stopping.
After 240 seconds, the wall in the central area would be completely sealed off.
If he didn't rush to the central area before that, Reynolds would never be able to enter that place, let alone rush to that cute junior's side.
Therefore, Reynolds was only left with regret.
Why did he leave the control room?
Why look for Rafe?
He had already made up his mind to stay by that girl's side.
If … if I'm still there …
"Damn it …!"
Realizing that his thoughts had started to turn negative due to uneasiness and anxiety, Reynolds hurriedly shook his head, shaking off the negative emotions and the sweat on his forehead.
Now is not the time to blame yourself.
The most important thing now was to find Mashu.
He allowed his body to be driven by such emotions. Reynolds seemed to want to squeeze out all the strength in his body and finally rushed to the front of the control room.
"Chi!"
The automatic door suddenly opened with a whistle-like effect, telling Reynolds that he had successfully arrived.
However, the next moment, the scene that entered his eyes made Reynolds stop.
"— — —"
Red.
Hot red.
The control room, which used to be cold and full of mechanical feeling, was now covered by a fiery red flame.
"Pa … Pa … Pa …"
The scalding hot pebbles kept rolling in every corner of the room.
"Bang …"
The concrete blocks that fell from the ceiling made a muffled sound.
The entire control room was covered in flames, as if it was completely blown up and turned into ruins.
In such a situation, the alarm was still ringing.
"It has been confirmed that the power part has stopped, the power generation is insufficient."
"Switching to the backup power source, there is an abnormality, please manually switch."
"There are 90 seconds left before the wall is completely sealed off. The staff in the central area, please go to the second gate as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Reynolds finally reacted.
"Mashu!"
Renault shouted at the surroundings and rushed into the fire, ignoring the rising temperature.
"Mashu! Mashu! Where are you!? Mashu! Answer me if you hear me! "
Reynolds shouted as he kept rushing in.
Along the way, Reynolds also saw a Capsule that was like a pillar that was pushed down, leaning in every corner.
Renault looked for them one by one, but what he saw was a master candidate lying in a capsule one by one.
However, they all fainted one by one.
Seeing this, Reynolds somewhat understood.
"When the fire broke out, did the master candidates already enter the Capsule?"
That was probably Olga Marie's order, right?
Although Reynolds had run out of the control room before the battle, he knew that woman's style. Even if Reynolds was absent, she would not delay the important first battle just because of Reynolds's problem alone. She would definitely continue to give orders in a fit of anger while preparing for the spiritual droplet transfer.
Thanks to that, the masters who entered the capsule didn't seem to die because of the sudden fire, and they maintained their life activities through the capsule's protection.
"So …"
Mashu was most likely among them, and she did not die because of the fire.
Thinking of that, Reynolds thanked Olga Marie for the first time and turned to look for Mashu's Capsule.
Unfortunately, this time, Reynolds guessed wrong.
"Fu!"
Just when Renault was desperately looking for Mashu's Capsule, he heard a familiar voice.
Reynolds quickly turned his head and saw a white creature standing on a piece of concrete wreckage.
"Fou? Why are you here? "
Reynolds couldn't help but be stunned.
Fou should never appear in front of people, so it should never appear in the control room full of Chaldea's masters and technicians.
"Fu!"
Ignoring Reynolds's surprise, Fou continued to shout, turned around, and ran in a direction.
Seeing that, Reynolds's heart moved.
"Could it be …"
Reynolds rushed in the direction Fou ran.
It didn't take long for Reynolds to stop again.
His mind, however, became completely blank.
"Fu!"
Fou called out from under a huge lump of muddy soil.
However, it wasn't yelling at Reynolds. It was yelling at the young lady whose lower body was pressed down by a huge chunk of mud. Her lower body had already turned into a pool of blood.
"Predecessor …?"
The girl's voice was like a bubble that was about to burst, it sounded so illusory.
