Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

I appreciate your kindness.

Dr. Ogura took the cigarette and put it in his pocket.

"You must have something to ask me, right? You can just ask directly."

Seeing that Dr. Ogura's performance was similar to that in the original work, Wang Bai felt relieved.

People become exceptionally agreeable if they can obtain that specific brand of cigarettes, which is extremely helpful for intelligence gathering.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that the other party's stance is inclined towards demi-humans.

In the original work, Dr. Ogura had a profound understanding of the demi-human realm, and it was highly likely that he possessed information about the Holy Grail substance.

Dr. Ogura stopped smoking, not expecting that the first question would be this!

He gave Wang Bai a deep look: "Where did you learn about this substance?"

"I have my own methods."

Wang Bai became excited; Dr. Ogura's reaction proved that he did indeed know information about this substance.

Dr. Ogura shook his head: "No, we don't understand it at all. We've had this substance for almost half a century, and we still can't figure out what it is."

His words revealed a sense of despair: "This thing is impossible to study, let alone observe. Can you imagine?"

"The phenomenon that appears when that substance is placed under the highest magnification electron microscope is—utter darkness, or rather, utter nothingness."

"No matter what external substance can stimulate it, it can only be observed by the human eye."

"But when I saw the demi-humans, I felt that humans did not observe this substance with the naked eye."

"It's like how demi-humans observe the black phantom. The principle is that the special rays emitted by IBM particles are perceived by the special senses within the demi-human's body. When they are transmitted to the brain, they are converted into visual signals, which is how the black phantom is observed."

"That 'Holy Grail' might have been perceived by some organ common to all humans, just as the demi-humans perceived the Black Phantom. Perception was transformed into vision through the brain."

Wang Bai heard a term: "Holy Grail, you mean that substance was named the Holy Grail by you?"

Dr. Ogura shook his head again, his tone full of confusion: "No, it's not that we named it the Holy Grail, but that this substance tells us it's called the Holy Grail."

"When you see it, its name will naturally come to mind—the omnipotent wish-granting machine, the Holy Grail."

An all-powerful wish-granting machine? The Holy Grail?

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?

Familiar words made Wang Bai desperately try to recall them from his mind.

Soon, Wang Bai realized that this thing was from the Fate series in the Type-Moon universe.

Where the hell did this come from?

The Holy Grail? Black Mud?

Wang Bai suddenly realized something and swallowed hard: "You didn't make a wish upon the Holy Grail, did you?"

Dr. Ogura was somewhat surprised: "How is that possible? Why would you ask such a question?"

Wang Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

It's clear that they breathed a sigh of relief too soon.

Dr. Ogura continued, "People call it an all-powerful wish-granting machine, so of course we made wishes! I alone made hundreds, even thousands of wishes!"

Wang Bai's vision blurred, and he almost summoned Yan Yi to pinch his philtrum.

"What did you say? You've made hundreds or thousands of wishes? What's the point of this world?"

Seeing Wang Bai's strange reaction, even the slow-witted Dr. Ogura could sense it: "You seem to know about this substance called the Holy Grail?"

Could the Holy Grail be related to this boy?

He realized that even the United States couldn't find any information about this boy; it was as if this boy had suddenly appeared out of the world a few months ago.

But how could a person suddenly burst out?

Could it be that someone made a wish upon the Holy Grail and then their wish came true?

If given the chance, Dr. Ogura plans to ask his colleagues what wishes they made.

For now, let's try to find out from this boy how much he actually knows about the Holy Grail.

Wang Bai realized that his reaction was a bit too much, but there was nothing he could do about the dark substance called the Holy Grail.

If what Wang Bai believes is true, it comes from the Holy Grail in the Fate world.

This world may face destruction. Perhaps the world won't be destroyed, but the Earth Online server will definitely be wiped out.

Faced with Dr. Ogura's curiosity, Wang Bai knew he had to reveal something, otherwise Dr. Ogura would definitely not continue the conversation.

In the original work, this guy had his fingers chopped off without saying a word just so he could smoke the cigarette he wanted.

He didn't speak until Yu Tosaki brought the cigarettes.

"The Holy Grail that I know of is indeed known as an all-powerful wish-granting machine."

"But it works by using a lot of magic, which you can think of as a special kind of energy, to accelerate the process of fulfilling a wish, thus achieving the mechanism of omnipotent wish-granting."

Dr. Ogura pondered for a moment: "You mean the Holy Grail is essentially like a fast-forward bar in a visual novel, allowing a wish to quickly reach the stage of fulfillment?"

It turned out they shared the same hobby. Wang Bai glanced at the other person a couple more times: "That's right, that's exactly it."

However, Wang Bai also warned, "That is not a simple thing; it has another name: 'the evil of humankind in this world.'"

"All the desires it accepts will be fulfilled in a distorted way."

"For example, if your family is not harmonious, and you wish for family harmony, the Holy Grail might grant your wish by killing your whole family, thus burying your entire family in the grave."

Dr. Ogura's hand trembled. He had made hundreds, even thousands, of wishes, but thankfully, it seemed the Holy Grail hadn't granted them.

Taking a deep breath, Dr. Ogura calmed himself and asked Wang Bai for confirmation, "You mean, this Holy Grail is somewhat like a cursed monkey's paw?"

The monkey's paw, shaped like a dried-up claw, can grant three wishes, but all three wishes will be granted in a distorted manner.

This certainly aligns with the characteristics of the Holy Grail.

"That's right."

Wang Bai admitted it.

Dr. Ogura asked in bewilderment, "If what you say is true, then we've made hundreds, even thousands, of wishes with the Holy Grail, so why haven't we seen any response?"

"And how did you find out about this?"

Wang Bai shared Dr. Ogura's confusion, while simultaneously ignoring the other's second question: "I don't know either, which is why I have to go and see that 'Holy Grail'."

Wang Bai looked intently at Dr. Ogura, his words conveying an undeniable pressure.

"I need to know the location of the Holy Grail."
