Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin
Chapter 19 Sogabe: ?
"So, what are we here to discuss?"
Wang Bai asked the crowd.
Kei Nagai explained, "Mr. Wang Bai, we have received covert communications from the government, hoping to reach a settlement with us."
As a rational player, Kei Nagai really hoped that Wang Bai and the others would agree to his request.
Given the current atmosphere of oppression faced by Ajin, Kei Nagai cannot directly express his desire to coexist peacefully with humans.
Given the current situation, peaceful coexistence, led by the government, is still very likely to be achieved.
Sato laughed dismissively: "In the wars I've witnessed, none of the weaker forces that reconciled ever had a good ending."
Wang Bai also leaned towards Sato's idea.
With such a small population as demi-humans, reconciliation is a major issue.
Once they break up, each individual is no match for the government.
Kei Nagai said, "We can cooperate with others and gain a new identity in society. As long as nothing unexpected happens, our demi-human physique will never be discovered."
Wang Bai simply asked a few questions: "Can you guarantee you'll never be discovered? Can you guarantee your identity will never be revealed? Can you guarantee the people who help us obtain our new identities will remain loyal?"
Kei Nagai, along with the others around him who were interested, fell silent.
There's no way to guarantee something like this, no matter what.
"How many people specifically requested a settlement, and who are on the list?"
Tanaka stepped forward and marked the list on the blackboard with a green pen.
It clearly and intuitively presents the individuals who currently seek a reconciliation.
And the representative of the hardliners in the original work, Kai Keiichi, the president of the security company.
"Most of the hardliners on the list have been purged, leaving only the most hardline security president, Kai Hirokazu."
"According to Tosaki Yu and Sogabe, this guy is the kind of absolute elite who has the kind of spirit that says, 'I will overcome any difficulty.'"
The environment has indeed changed recently. With the verification and widespread dissemination of experimental videos online, public opinion has begun to lean towards the side of the demi-humans.
The reasons include long-standing grudges among some people involved in the drafting of the list, which led to Ajin unintentionally getting the role of Robin Hood, which can be considered an unexpected bonus.
"Very good. These people want them to pay the ransom in anonymous cash. The task of collecting the cash is assigned to you guys, Tanaka and Kei Nagai."
"As for the rest, Mr. Sato, Takahashi, and the others, let's go deal with the other tough nuts to crack."
After briefly outlining the next steps, Wang Bai told the others to rest for the time being, leaving Tanaka and Sato behind.
"I have made an amazing discovery."
Wang Bai's words piqued their interest, but after he finished explaining his discovery of the origins of the demi-humans, neither of them seemed particularly interested.
Sato said, "This matter has nothing to do with us now. Even if we know the origin of the demi-humans, so what? Do you want to get rid of your demi-human identity? Then how will you prove that you are not a demi-human? Shoot yourself to death, then you will really be dead."
Tanaka shared the same thought: "I don't know why you're so interested in this, Wang Bai, but even if we wanted it, it's currently in the most powerful country on the other side of this planet, and we have no way to obtain it. You're not planning to send all of us to attack that most powerful country, are you?"
If Wang Bai were a local like them, he would probably have the same thoughts.
But Wang Bai is a time traveler, and the original work has already ended, yet this strange substance has never been mentioned.
This likely indicates that this substance is not a product of the demi-human world at all, but rather an alien species like Wang Bai.
Perhaps this is his hope of going home.
However, the Ajin people in Japan currently have no interest in this matter, so it seems we need to find a way to make them interested in it later.
……
Sogabe was a demi-human.
After Sato's first public appearance, he joined the other party's team and made a surprising discovery.
The true mastermind behind this team is not Sato, who is publicly known.
He was the first and third demi-human, and the only one whose identity remains unknown to this day.
The other person appeared to be someone who came from across the ocean, and his name was Wang Bai.
No matter what, there was no way to find out the other party's identity and information. Even using some special methods to check the local household registration system, no information about the other party could be found.
There are two possibilities that this could happen.
One possibility is that the other person is not from this world at all.
Another scenario is that the other party's information is highly confidential, with only paper records remaining.
Sogabe immediately thought it was the second possibility; it couldn't possibly be the first, could it?
At that moment, he made up his mind to use this team to achieve his own obsession.
At that moment, due to work reasons, my department was unable to attend the other party's meeting. Just then, Wang Bai needed to talk to him, so he came over in person to make contact.
Follow the country's ancient traditions.
Stand in a higher position.
The bottom overcomes the top.
On this day, he received a private invitation from Wang Bai, the leader of that team.
"You mean, you helped me become the leader of the demi-human management department, and in return, you gave me information about this mysterious substance?"
"That's right."
Sogabe sat opposite Wang Bai, looking extremely cautious, like a model employee.
Based on past observations, Sogabe also adopted this attitude when facing his superiors within the department.
If one didn't know Sogabe's character, anyone would probably think he was someone tamed by the standard hierarchical system.
But Wang Bai knew that the other party could be described as a typical example of an underdog defying his superior.
Therefore, it is essential to make certain things clear to someone like Sogabe, otherwise the other party may have their own ideas or misinterpret Wang Bai's thoughts.
However, such people are also the easiest to understand and exploit; all you need to do is cater to their preferences.
In fact, they had a solid foundation of interests beforehand.
In a society that discriminates against, or even hunts, demi-humans, if someone's identity is exposed, their career is basically over.
They might use a meeting as an excuse to put it on the test bench and hold the meeting.
"I've never heard of anything like this before, and I've never seen it in any files or reports I've reviewed. Are you sure this is true and reliable?"
Sogabe asked skeptically, "The origin of creatures like Ajin has never been determined, but how can such a dark substance form an immortal miracle?"
He was somewhat skeptical; surely a being like a demi-human would require at least a divine intervention to accomplish such a feat?
