Chapter 022: Buddha Statue Aliens

In the plot of Gantz, although the protagonist is Kei Kurono, he is not the absolute protagonist.

Because he once died during a mission.

His position was then replaced by Masaru Kato.

Later, Kato worked hard to accumulate one hundred points and revived Kurono.

But just then, another member of the black ball team, an admirer of Kurono, revived Kurono once more. Thus, there were two Kuronos in the world.

This move had truly startled Wang Bo back then; his reaction at the time was simple.

Holy crap, there's actually such a move? That's just too flashy.

Wang Bo could revive a dead person, but he really couldn't duplicate a person, so even he coveted the black ball's technology. He even decided that before leaving this world, he would pack up all the high-tech inside the black ball.

This technology was not to be missed.

Every black ball mission had a few idle periods, and this time was no exception.

Especially this time, the black ball team members had suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Hagoromo Kitsune, and the recovery time was even longer than last time.

And Wang Bo used this time to conduct special training for Kei Kishimoto once again.

But halfway through the training, Friday told Wang Bo that she had found Sesshōmaru.

So Wang Bo left Kei Kishimoto and went to find Sesshōmaru.

However, before leaving, Wang Bo created a Heavenly Soldier and had it continue training Kei Kishimoto. With the Heavenly Soldier's strength, training a woman was no problem.

Meanwhile, Wang Bo, guided by Friday, went to meet Sesshōmaru.

At that time, Sesshōmaru was wandering around various parts of Japan, searching for traces of demons. Wang Bo found the traveling Sesshōmaru in the Kantō region.

To avoid revealing his identity, Sesshōmaru was wearing a suit, dressed like a graceful nobleman, with a head-turning rate exceeding 100% on the street.

If he were willing, he would have already achieved a thousand kills.

Along the way, some women who thought themselves attractive would approach him, but Sesshōmaru ignored them all.

If he got annoyed by these women, he would sweep them with his icy gaze.

As the son of Tōga, a powerful demon, Sesshōmaru's gaze was not something ordinary people could withstand.

Those women, seeing Sesshōmaru's cold stare, trembled all over and had to retreat.

But even so, some oblivious young girls still approached with their phones, wanting to add him as a friend.

After watching Sesshōmaru drive away two more girls, Wang Bo walked up and patted Sesshōmaru on the shoulder.

Sesshōmaru was startled and instinctively grabbed at Wang Bo's head.

Wang Bo raised his palm, blocking Sesshōmaru's claw strike. "Reacting so fiercely, trying to kill someone?"

Sesshōmaru slowly withdrew his arm and asked warily, "Who are you?"

As a powerful demon, he hadn't even sensed this man approaching; this person before him was truly unfathomable.

Wang Bo sighed. Almost every time he met a transmigrator for the first time, they would ask who he was. By now, Wang Bo was completely used to it.

But this was work; Wang Bo wouldn't slack off. He explained his origin and purpose.

Sesshōmaru said coldly, "I don't believe you."

He had seen too many instances of human deceit; he simply wouldn't believe Wang Bo's story.

In his eyes, humans were not to be trusted.

Wang Bo said, "I don't intend to make you believe me. My job is to send you back. Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me. I'm just telling you."

With that, Wang Bo used his telekinesis to bind Sesshōmaru.

Wang Bo's telekinesis was now extremely powerful; Sesshōmaru was no match, and once bound, he couldn't even struggle free.

Sesshōmaru's whole body stiffened; he couldn't move even a little finger.

His eyes widened, his demonic aura surged, his teeth became sharp, and his nails grew long, as if he were about to reveal his true form and fight Wang Bo with all his might.

But it was useless. Wang Bo's current strength was something Sesshōmaru couldn't contend with, not even Hōrō Kitsune could, let alone a mere Sesshōmaru.

Wang Bo increased his telekinesis a bit, and Sesshōmaru's demonic aura was instantly suppressed.

"Alright, stop messing around. Go back now."

Without waiting for Sesshōmaru to react, Wang Bo patted his shoulder and sent him back.

Thus, three of the five transmigrators had been dealt with, leaving two more.

One was suspected to be a vampire.

The other had never been seen and had not appeared yet.

Wang Bo wondered if he should start keeping a diary and arrange something for the other party.

Or perhaps find that suspected vampire and ask if he knew where the last transmigrator was.

After some thought, Wang Bo chose the second option.

...

A few more days passed, and Friday still hadn't found the suspected vampire; the other party was better at hiding than Wang Bo had imagined.

Meanwhile, Kei Kishimoto was teleported to the black ball room to start a new mission.

Wang Bo glanced at the black ball room. The Tokyo black ball team members who had gone to hunt Hōrō Kitsune last time were mostly dead; only Kei Kishimoto, Masaru Kato, Kei Kurono, and two or three others survived.

For instance, the woman who had originally fallen in love with Kurono at first sight was among them. There was also a karate expert and a young couple.

This time, to replenish the ranks, the black ball teleported another batch of people in.

There were no familiar characters; basically, they were all extras. Just by looking at them, you could tell they were cannon fodder who wouldn't survive an episode.

After confirming that this batch was a group of extras, Wang Bo lost interest in them.

Kato once again played the role of firefighter, telling everyone everything he knew and persuading them all to wear the combat suits to increase their chances of survival.

Then, the black ball issued a new mission.

When Wang Bo saw the several Buddha statues on the black ball, he knew the plot had returned to normal. Their mission this time was the Buddha Statue Aliens.

These included the Two Guardian Generals, many small Buddha statues, large Buddha statues, and a Thousand-Armed Buddha statue.

Although the Two Guardian Generals were tall, their strength was mediocre and nothing special. The small Buddha statues were similar, at most a bit stronger than humans, but only slightly.

The large Buddha statues, aside from their size, weren't much different from the Two Guardian Generals.

However, the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue had some tricks; each hand held a weapon, and each weapon had a unique use, very practical.
