Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin
Chapter 29 The Holy Grail
Two months have passed.
The matter of Dr. Ogura's kidnapping gradually subsided.
The US troops, who were on high alert, relaxed their guard somewhat and were no longer as tense as they had been initially.
As a result, the control measures across Japan were relaxed.
Wang Bai's personal fundraising project was also successfully implemented.
They extorted enough funds from those who had previously promoted the theory of the Ajin threat to support the entire operation.
Thanks to Representative Tachibana's efforts, the human rights movement against Asians in the United States is progressing better than expected.
It created a wonderful chemical reaction with other local organizations.
Black people believe that Asians are oppressed and have no freedom, and consider them brothers.
Animal protection organizations believe that demi-humans are a unique and rare protected species that need to be protected.
Environmental organizations, gender organizations...
A whole host of organizations have linked Ajin together for some inexplicable reason, and some people even want to form an international Ajin organization to protect them.
It's just too surreal.
Of course, this period of good fortune was short-lived, and the unorganized actions were naturally suppressed by the local authorities.
However, just as Wang Bai had predicted, the authorities did not completely ban it.
Control these subhuman organizations through funding and personnel.
For Wang Bai, these were all insignificant matters.
They still have the right to be fully informed about the locations of these organizations' operations.
Now is arguably the time when the enemy's attention is most scattered and their vigilance is at its weakest.
Oushan was responsible for creating fake identities and hacking into the airline system to book tickets, allowing the main combat members, led by Wang Bai, to land in the Americas.
The combat team consisted of twelve people, who were divided into several groups and entered the Americas from different airports and by different means of transportation in order to avoid attracting attention by acting in large groups.
After everyone reunited and finalized their plan, they split up again, breaking the group into smaller units.
……
Nighttime, near an air force base.
Wang Bai crouched on a hill three kilometers from the perimeter of the base, observing the target area through night vision binoculars.
Tanaka, standing beside him, was inspecting the equipment; his black tactical backpack was filled with various tools and weapons.
"Twelve patrol points, four people per group, rotation time is twenty minutes." Wang Bai put down his binoculars, his voice low. "There's an infrared alarm system around the laboratory building, and at least six sniper positions."
Tanaka looked up, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Sounds challenging. But for us, death is just another tactical option."
Wang Bai nodded.
As demi-humans, their greatest advantage is their immortality. Even if they die in battle, they will be fully resurrected within seconds, giving them almost unlimited opportunities to try and fail.
Wang Bai glanced at his watch: "It's almost time. The other party has already changed shifts."
One of the team members sensed something in the air and looked over warily, but found nothing.
When he turned around, he found that the rest of his patrol team had disappeared.
"What's going on?!" He was stunned for a moment, then realized that something was wrong with the base. Just as he was about to call the police, he felt a cool breeze brush against his neck.
The head slid down the neck as smoothly as butter.
Yan Yi and Yan Er, the two black ghosts, picked up the soldiers' guns on the ground and began to inspect them.
Wang Bai and Tanaka emerged from their hiding place and changed into the soldiers' clothes and passes found on the ground.
Tanaka sighed, "Wang Bai, you've become this powerful in such a short time. We're both demi-humans, so why do I feel like my Black Phantom hasn't changed much?"
Wang Bai tried to reassure Tanaka: "Don't worry, under normal circumstances, the number of IBM particles in your body will increase over time, meaning you get stronger as you get older."
Tanaka nodded; most demi-humans were just like him.
Only the black phantoms of Wang Bai, Nagai Kei, and Sato were like monsters.
If it weren't for the ordinary qualities displayed by the later Ajin, Tanaka would have thought he was dragging the Ajin group down.
After changing his clothes, Tanaka asked doubtfully, "Will this disguise fool the guards?"
In Tanaka's mind, a military base couldn't possibly be so easy to infiltrate.
Wang Bai nodded: "It's definitely not that simple. Even though we used Black Phantom for disguise, this team is still short-handed, which is immediately obvious."
"Our purpose in disguising ourselves was simply to get closer to the guards and then eliminate them at close range."
"Of course, you don't need to be nervous. Even if we are discovered and trigger the alarm, our comrades in other directions will launch a collective attack to help us cover and draw the enemy's attention."
Tanaka felt a little embarrassed when Wang Bai saw through his thoughts, but he still stubbornly said, "I'm not nervous at all. I just never thought we could invade military bases in the American interior."
Wang Bai looked at Tanaka seriously: "Although you, Tanaka, are Japanese, I want to tell you that the tsundere attribute is only attractive to girls in the two-dimensional world. A middle-aged man in the three-dimensional world who is tsundere can only be called a 'lowly man'."
Tanaka was speechless: "What do you mean by 'middle-aged man in the real world'? I'm not even 30 yet, I'm still a young man!"
No, you're only concerned about age?
"Wait a minute, aren't you 30 yet? But you look like a middle-aged man!"
"Of course not. Wait, you've always thought of me as an old man, yet you treat me this disrespectfully?"
The two chatted casually as they walked toward the base gate, as leisurely as if they were taking a stroll.
The sound didn't even bother the guards at the gate to hear it.
The soldiers never imagined that someone would actually launch a surprise attack on the base from the American interior; they had long since lost their vigilance over the years.
They could only watch helplessly as Wang Bai and Tanaka entered the base.
Wang Bai hadn't expected this at all. He was already prepared for battle, but they walked in so easily.
Unfortunately, even after entering the air force base...
The base was also enormous, and Wang Bai had no idea where the Holy Grail was located.
However, when you don't know something, you should not be ashamed to ask.
He found a lone soldier, took him to a corner, and used special means to learn the location of the laboratory from him.
And so, the two of them arrived at the laboratory.
But this luck ran out as soon as they reached the door, where soldiers stopped them, questioned them, and asked to see their identification.
Unfortunately, Wang Bai didn't have any of these things.
With a swift movement, the black phantom's claws sliced open the necks of two soldiers.
Wang Bai and Tanaka carefully leaned the two corpses against a nearby pole and used the Black Phantom to hold them in place, trying their best to avoid revealing any flaws.
However, the piercing alarm still sounded.
The base instantly erupted in excitement.
The alarm blared, searchlights swept across the area, and soldiers gathered on the east side from all directions.
Commanding voices could still be heard coming from the dead soldiers' earpieces.
"Intruders spotted! Intruders spotted! They're running towards the lab building!"
"Evacuate all key personnel immediately! Deploy all soldiers immediately!"
"Damn it, what went wrong?"
Tanaka cursed at the sound of the alarm.
"Never mind that, just get into the lab building according to the original plan."
Wang Bai ran quickly toward the laboratory building. According to Dr. Ogura's information, the "Holy Grail" substance was in a safe on the first basement floor of the laboratory building.
The two suddenly realized that they faced an even greater challenge—the open area in front of the laboratory building.
The area is brightly lit, with perfect cross-beam coverage, ensuring that any intruder attempting to force their way through will be detected instantly.
"Let me knock these light bulbs out first!"
Tanaka took out a specially made sniper rifle from his backpack. The rifle had been calibrated before the operation and was ready for immediate use.
However, Wang Bai took the gun from Tanaka's hands: "Let me handle this, your marksmanship is poor."
Tanaka: ( ̄ー ̄)
The bullet struck the light bulb precisely, instantly plunging the room into darkness. Then came the second, the third...
"The searchlights on the north side have been damaged!"
"Sniper spotted!"
Soldiers already deployed in the experimental building opened fire in the direction of the sound.
However, the sniper seemed completely unafraid of being hit by bullets and continued firing relentlessly. Soon, the surrounding open space turned completely dark.
Only the lights coming from inside the building illuminated a portion of the area.
"Fire a signal flare to locate the enemy."
However, the soldier who was about to fire the signal flare next to him seemed to be lifted into the air by something invisible, and then slammed heavily to the ground.
Judging from the blood he was vomiting, the soldier clearly had internal organ damage and was probably beyond saving.
This extraordinary situation left everyone bewildered and momentarily speechless.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Yi and Yan Er also took the lives of several soldiers around them.
Seeing the devastation unfolding before them, the squad leader immediately ordered everyone to fire at the wounded soldiers.
However, the inability to see the target resulted in a significant waste of the soldiers' bullets. Furthermore, since Yan Yi and Yan Er, as Black Ghosts, also possessed their own consciousness, none of the bullets hit their targets.
A squad of soldiers capable of waging a small war outside was wiped out in just a few minutes.
Wang Bai and Tanaka entered the laboratory building. The corridors were filled with surveillance cameras and motion sensors, and armed guards could be hidden at every corner.
As a form of urban warfare, it is a nightmare for individuals.
But for demi-humans, it is undoubtedly a place to amplify their own advantages.
Without pausing, the two rushed into the building as if it were empty, heading straight for their target.
Wang and Bai's swift actions had been captured on surveillance footage, shocking the higher-ups who received the news.
At the same time, their eyes were filled with longing.
"Is this what demi-humans are like? Are their abilities really this powerful?!"
"If all these demi-humans could become our soldiers, then just ten thousand, no, a thousand, would be enough for us to rule the entire world!"
"Their ability to utilize their skills is exceptional, far exceeding what is described in the data. We cannot afford to be careless."
"Everyone, our top priority is to capture these two demi-humans and find out their purpose for coming here!"
"Let's deploy the special anti-submarine force."
"Don't waste the other units in the laboratory building. It cost a lot of money to train these young men."
The military leadership reached a conclusion in a short period of time.
On the other side, Wang Bai was trying to blow open the sealed gate with the high explosives he had prepared in advance.
They had long anticipated that a building of this size would have robust security doors and the like.
Okuyama's proposed solution was a lethal dose of explosives.
There is no door that cannot be opened with explosives; if there is, then the explosive charge is insufficient.
Wang Bai and Tanaka each carried a backpack containing high explosives capable of blowing up an entire neighborhood.
Of course, Wang Bai didn't believe that two backpacks, with a maximum of fifty kilograms of explosives, could blow up an entire neighborhood.
Even though the distributor claimed that this ten-meter-long high-energy explosive was specially developed by a certain country, Wang Bai felt that there was some exaggeration in it.
If such powerful explosives really existed, why would they be sold?
However, the use of explosives was merely to save IBM particles. Don't forget that once Wang Bai finds the "Holy Grail" substance, it's estimated that an entire army will be needed to intercept him, potentially spanning several states.
Even if Wang Bai had dozens of IBM particles from Tanaka, he still had to save money for the retreat.
When the heavy door was blown open, there was a long corridor inside, with rows of symmetrical rooms.
Upon entering, Wang Bai felt a shiver run through his body.
He could feel something calling to him from inside the corridor.
It's like they're from the same origin and belong to the same kind.
Wang Bai had a premonition that this feeling was probably due to the influence of the 'Holy Grail' substance.
"Tanaka, you keep watch. I've found out where the Holy Grail is!"
"Huh? So many rooms, how did you...?"
Before Tanaka could finish speaking, Wang Bai rushed into the corridor and ran for a full minute until he reached the spot where the call was strongest.
For safety reasons, no explosives were used. Instead, the arm was severed, and the demi-human body's regeneration mechanism was used to open the sealed alloy iron door.
Upon opening the door, one sees a black substance, roughly the size of a watermelon, placed on a table.
The black substance vibrated continuously, and ripples caused by the air vibrations could be seen all around, but these ripples dissipated a few centimeters away from the black substance.
As Wang Bai approached step by step, that special feeling grew even stronger.
Reach out and try to touch this 'Holy Grail'.
At the same time, he took out a gun, pointing one hand at his head, ready to reset his body immediately in case of any abnormal situation.
The moment Wang Bai's fingers touched the Holy Grail, time seemed to stand still.
The Holy Grail stopped vibrating and naturally disintegrated, with Wang Bai's body instinctively releasing IBM particles.
The two slowly approached each other, then began to rotate around each other, and at an increasingly faster pace.
