My fiancée Yukino

With a pursed lip, Tendo Kisara said, "I think that guy already has an idea, but I don't know if the shareholders of Sima Heavy Industries will agree to it."

"Whether the shareholders agree or not doesn't matter, as long as Sima Weizhi and her family, as well as the core researchers, go with us. There's no need to bring back the other shareholders who only know how to enjoy dividends."

Fifteen minutes later, Sima Weizhi came down.

Seeing her smiling expression, Luo Bai knew that things were almost certainly going well.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting, Luo Baijun. Let's have a meal together sometime. My parents will be coming. You should also have someone in charge here, right? Can you invite them over as well?"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Of course, but before that, we need to retrieve the Seven Stars' legacy. Well, let's finish this quickly, including dealing with Hiruko Kageyu and that potential Stage Five."

Sima Weizhi was also very interested in the upcoming operation, and narrowed her eyes as she said, "Speaking of which, you're all going to the operation this afternoon, right? Including you?"

Seeing that Shima Miori was looking at him, Tendo Kisara nodded: "Of course, there will probably be a lot of battles this time, and I will go and lend a hand."

Clapping her hands, Sima Weizhi said, "In that case, let's prepare our equipment after lunch. The enemy this time is very strong, Rentaro, your prosthetic leg needs an upgrade, and we'll need to change our ammunition and other supplies. Luo Bai-kun, may I take a look at the weapons you're using?"

Luo Bai shrugged.

"As for weapons, we don't really have any. Does this count?"

Then he took out his Nichirin Blade from his bracelet.

"As for firearms, we already had them, but we just weren't used to using them."

Tendo Kisara hesitated for a moment, then looked at the three of them.

"Really, only this is needed?"

Rentaro Satomi nodded: "Yesterday at the Ministry of Defense, even those who were unarmed, the real espers are still different from us."

"Superpowers..."

Blinking her bright, large eyes, Sima Weizhi looked at Luo Bai and said, "Luo Bai-kun, I wonder if there's a chance for our Sima Heavy Industry to study your abilities? Perhaps, in the future, we'll have the opportunity to research a method for giving birth to superpowers?"

"Do you even understand gene technology?"

Sima Weizhi smiled confidently: "Gastrodin has been rampant in this world for so many years, so naturally we have been trying to find a solution. Although our technology in this area is not the best, we have accumulated some expertise."

"Sure, when you come to our area in the future, after your technology is evaluated and deemed feasible, I wouldn't mind letting you study it."

The main reason is that Luo Bai himself wants to know whether his children with Yukino and the others will also inherit superpowers, given that he has superpowers.

After discussing the basics, Sima Weizhi was officially accepted as a member of this camp.

After lunch, the group went to Sima Heavy Industry to begin upgrading their equipment.

Enju Aihara changed into a new pair of combat boots, while Rentaro Satomi repaired his prosthetic limbs and loaded them with some new combat ammunition.

Shinobu Kocho and Kisara Tendo wore protective suits developed by Sima Heavy Industries.

Luo Bai, on the other hand, did not use any equipment.

These things will only limit your ability to perform, so it's better to travel light.

Volume 1: Chapter 345 Obtaining the Suitcase (1/2)

After preparations were completed, the group left Sima Heavy Industry.

Sima Weizhi gently waved her folding fan and looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone, please be careful on your journey. I will be going to the command center of the operation to provide you with real-time information."

After that, the car arrived and took everyone directly to the military base in the Tokyo area. There, they boarded a military aircraft and flew to the edge of the barrier.

Just a few minutes after arriving at the target area, the group spotted a giant spider flying in the air.

This spider-like Gastrea achieves its ability to fly by spinning webs between its legs.

Looking at this thing, Luo Bai stroked his chin and said with a smile, "It's quite interesting. Is it a unique ability? Are you sure this is it? Is the legacy of the Seven Stars inside this Gastrea?"

Kisara Tendo, who was standing to the side, nodded: "Based on the information we've gathered, it's definitely this one."

"OK, let's not delay and set off immediately."

Luo Bai stood up abruptly and walked to the back of the plane.

"Huh? Enju?"

Rentaro Satomi also noticed that his partner Enju had followed them.

Luo Bai also noticed the little girl standing beside him and said with a smile, "What, want to vent your frustrations?"

With puffed-out cheeks, Aihara Enju nodded: "I'm still not in a good mood."

"Haha, I understand. Let's go together then. You can lead the attack, and I'll provide support to prevent you from getting hit."

Then, he looked at the three people who had followed behind him.

"The three of you can come over after you've descended a bit. Don't worry, Satomi, I'll stay with Enju and make sure nothing happens to her."

Rentaro Satomi obviously

Knowing that Yeonjoo hadn't been in a good mood, he didn't object to her actions.

"Then trouble you."

The cabin door at the rear of the plane opened, Luo Bai gently patted Yan Zhu's head, and then the two of them jumped out without wearing any landing gear.

Flying beside the falling Enju Aohara, Luo Bai pointed to the Gastrea below.

"So, should we attack directly?"

Lan Yuan Enju nodded, then tugged at Luo Bai's sleeve and said, "Brother Luo Bai, thank you for your help. I want to test the power of the new equipment!"

"Okay, then be careful. I'll follow behind you."

With his hands supporting Lan Yuanyuan Zhu, Luo Bai used his superpower to compress the surrounding air and, in a five-second countdown, launched Lan Yuanyuan Zhu out.

With its speed increasing several times over, Enju Aihara suddenly caught up with the flying Gastrea.

"Oh my god!!!"

A standard knight's kick landed squarely on the Gastrea's body, slamming it to the ground with tremendous force amidst a loud wail, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

"boom!!!"

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "That was really strong."

Turning his head, Luo Bai waved towards the plane and then sped off to the ground.

In the forest, the Gastrea that had fallen had created a large crater in the ground. After the dust settled, Luo Bai saw Lan Yuan Enju looking ahead with a serious expression.

"Gah!!!!"

With a sharp cry, the Gastrea, with two spider legs severed, slowly crawled out, then accelerated and charged towards Enju Aohara.

Enju Aihara leaped up to dodge the attack, then kicked the large Gastrea away, sending it crashing into a grove of trees.

Luo Bai leaned against a large tree, looked around at the surroundings, and said, "Little Yanzhu, speed things up! I'll take care of those Gastrea that are coming from around here."

After landing on the ground, Aihara Enju also noticed that the commotion of the battle had attracted some Gastrea that were lying in wait nearby.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it right away!"

As Lan Yuan Yanzhu continued her relentless attacks on the spider Gastrea, Luo Bai produced ice spears in his hands and flew into the air, looking down at the Gastrea rushing in from all directions.

These gastrulators vary in size, but based on the information Luo Bai has gathered about gastrulators in the past two days, they should all be around stage two.

"It seems the bigger ones are yet to come. I wonder if Phase Five has sensed this area yet."

As he spoke, Luo Bai flicked his right hand, and two-meter-long ice spears were launched, accurately hitting the heads of each Gastrea creature and instantly freezing them from the inside out.

In the sky, Tendo Kisara and Satomi Rentaro, sitting inside the plane, also saw what was happening below through binoculars.

Although they were quite far away, they still managed to see the frozen Gastrea.

"Wow, that's amazing. They took care of more than a dozen Gastrea in just a moment."

Putting down his binoculars, Rentaro Satomi said, "And judging from the looks of it, he didn't put in much effort at all."

Tendo Kisara, who was standing nearby, also said, "The results from Enju's side are in."

With a few kicks, the Gastrea, which already had little power to resist, was directly smashed by Enju Aihara, and a silver-white briefcase fell out as well.

Upon seeing this, Luo Bai flew over and used his telekinesis to pick up the suitcase. He then used his superpowers to wash away the disgusting Gastrea liquid on it.

Taking out his phone, Luo Bai contacted Shinobu Kocho on the plane.

"Rin, we've sorted things out here. Have you found a place to land?"

"Found it! We've reached the ground. We're coming right now."

"Okay, we'll wait here."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Bai looked at Lan Yuan Yanzhu who was walking over, patted the girl's head and said, "How was it? Got all vented?"

Lan Yanyuan looked at the briefcase Luo Bai was holding and nodded, saying, "Hmm, much more comfortable. So, is this the briefcase? Do you want to open it and take a look?"

"I think it's better not to open it for now, and I don't think it makes much difference whether it's open or not."

After saying that, Luo Bai sensed the danger, picked up the little girl, and flew into the air.

The next moment, a huge impact swept towards the spot where they had just been standing, plowing through the ground and trees.

"You've arrived, Hiruko Kagetane."

As Luo Bai spoke, Hiruko Kagetane and Hiruko Kohina slowly emerged from the forest where the attack had occurred.

Hiruko Kohina looked at the two people in the air, brandishing her small dachi and saying, "Dad, they can fly, that's not fair!"

Hiruko Kagetane looked up at Luo Bai and said, "Luo Bai-kun, you really have exceeded my expectations. With this ability, are you also a modified new human?"

After returning to the ground with Aihara Enju, Luo Bai looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Sorry, I have no interest in human modification. My ability is innate."

As he spoke, Luo Bai showed the briefcase in his hand.

"Now that I have the goods, what are you planning to do?"

Volume 1: Chapter 346 A Brief Battle (2/2)

Seeing the briefcase dangling in Luo Bai's hand, Hiruko Kohina couldn't contain herself and tried to rush over to snatch it with her kodachi, but was stopped by Hiruko Kagetane the next moment.

"Don't be impulsive, Hina."

Pressing Hiruko Kohina's head down, Hiruko Kagetane looked at Luo Bai and said, "Luo Bai-kun, can we make a deal and give me the box? You're not from the Tokyo area, right? I've confirmed that after my investigation. I can assure you that I won't summon Stage 5 immediately after getting the box. I'll summon it after you leave, so it won't cause you any trouble."

"You're actually going to discuss this kind of thing with me?"

Luo Bai was surprised that Hiruko Kagetane would say such a thing; it seemed he really wanted the Seven Stars' inheritance.

Looking at Hiruko Kagetane, Luo Bai asked, "Although I'm quite interested in Stage Five, I'm sorry, I really can't give it to you. Of course, if you defeat me, you can take it as spoils of war."

"Oh, is that so?"

Hiruko Kagetane adjusted his top hat and sighed softly.

"Looks like we have no choice but to fight. Hina, let's go."

"Yes, Dad!"

Hina nodded excitedly and rushed forward.

Aihara Enju naturally wouldn't let her have her way so easily, and kicked out to block Hiruko Kohina's slash.

The two girls started fighting, while Hiruko Kagetane charged towards Luo Bai.

With a snap of his fingers, a tremendous repulsive force appeared and pressed towards Luo Bai.

"A decent ability, but useless to me."

Luo Bai chuckled, and a semi-transparent longsword formed from condensed flames appeared in his hand, which he gently swung down at the attack in front of him.

"Oh!"

A massive fiery slash appeared, shattering Hiruko Kagetane's transparent attack.

Seeing the flames coming towards him, Hiruko Kagetane quickly dodged to the side, barely managing to avoid them, but the hem of his clothes was still set ablaze.

After patting it a couple of times, he realized it was impossible to extinguish; Hiruko Kagetane could only...

He took off his tuxedo, clenched his fists, and charged towards Luo Bai.

With a swing of his longsword, Luo Bai launched an attack, and Hiruko Kagetane reacted quickly, managing to hold his own for a few rounds even when Luo Bai held back.

After testing the waters and understanding his opponent's tactics, Luo Bai changed his approach and slashed Hiruko Kagetane's shoulder with his sword.
