American Comics: BOSS Invasion

#342 - The Old Man and the Invisibility Spell

God damn it, they're advertising right in my face!

The reporters aren't stupid either; they wouldn't let the old man take all the advantages.

Just as the old man was about to launch into his third round of advertising, the reporters suddenly surged forward, pushing the old man aside and swarming into the invisible building.

"Hey, hey! You can't do this! We haven't agreed on the interview terms yet. This is trespassing!"

Before he could finish, the reporters had vanished in a flash.

Visually, it was incredibly strange. A crowd of people rushed forward and suddenly disappeared, as if vanishing into water, without even a ripple.

Afraid of being at a disadvantage, the old man hurriedly ran back.

At that moment, A-Fen led several Shadow Ninjas over, holding a tablet displaying a coordinate arrow.

"Locking onto coordinates with latitude and longitude? The Sacred Lord is getting quite fashionable!"

A-Fen glanced at the invisible building, scratching his head in confusion. "Invisibility... that should be the Snake Talisman. But I remember that this kind of invisibility needs someone to activate it, and the range isn't this large!"

After thinking for a while without understanding, A-Fen shook his head. "Forget it, I'll just ask the Sacred Lord when I get back!"

With a wave of his hand, the Shadow Ninjas behind him darted out and quickly disappeared.

With the coordinates locked, the Shadow Ninjas could handle it.

By this time, many people had been attracted to the area, and with the media coverage, there were already several hundred, with the crowd growing rapidly.

In no more than twenty minutes, the place would be completely packed.

Several firefighters stood together, idly observing the outline before them. They still needed to water the area and couldn't leave yet.

"Lawrence, what do you think is causing this?"

"How would I know? Besides, I don't care. Anything is possible in this world, whether it's superheroes, supervillains, super robots, superpowers, or super technology. Nothing is surprising anymore!"

The man replied listlessly.

"That's true, but it's always been small-scale stuff. We've never seen a building turn invisible before. Maybe we should try our luck and see if we can find any treasure?" the first person suggested.

"Forget it. I just got a new girlfriend who's turning 18 tomorrow. I need to save my energy; I don't have time for these trivial matters! If it weren't for the 2,000 yuan bonus today, I wouldn't have come!"

"Wow, 18 years old! You animal! I'm so jealous!"

"Hehe, that's skill!"

After chatting for a few moments, they suddenly noticed the light in front of them shift, and the transparent building reappeared.

The sudden appearance of a five-story building on the empty ground startled the onlookers.

Several late-arriving news vans witnessed this scene. The reporters jumped out as if they'd been injected with adrenaline, stumbling through the mud in their haste, some not even bothering to put on their heels. They quickly fixed their hair and upper bodies and started reporting to the camera.

"Greetings, viewers. This is 'Midnight Assault,' and I'm your host, Mimi.

As you can see, the building that suddenly vanished 30 minutes ago has reappeared. We have reason to suspect that this is a large-scale scientific experiment, and a mysterious research organization has developed a large-scale cloaking device.

Perhaps some of you are wondering: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier already has a cloaking device, so what's new?

"What's going on? Is there a time limit to the invisibility?"

"No time for nonsense! Report! Report!"

The media personnel scrambled to set up their positions and continue their reporting.

The factory manager stumbled out without even putting on his shoes, his eyes wide like light bulbs, filled with disbelief.

His trembling hand touched the factory wall, and he screamed as if he'd been bitten by a dog. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his miserable cries echoing in the sky.

"No, this isn't real! How could you suddenly disappear? My dream! My travel and victory dream! My get-rich-quick scheme! My wealthy family! All gone!"

After a couple of cries, the old man suddenly jumped up, turned to see the camera pointed at him, quickly wiped his face, and flashed a practiced smile.

"As you can see, a five-story building has reappeared, and it's our eel can factory, the origin of this mysterious phenomenon.

We are the eel can that has been invisible, unique among similar products. Remember us, we are Nakamura, hooray!"

The old man put on a serious face to deliver the advertisement, then playfully made a V-sign.

The reporters rolled their eyes in unison, exhausted and not bothering to say anything to him.

This old man was wasted as a factory manager; he should be working in an advertising agency!

At this moment, the police finally arrived.

A large number of police cars slowly drove in, and the police quickly established a proper cordon, preventing the reporters and curious onlookers from approaching.

The fire trucks also stopped spraying water and slowly retreated.

The sound of propellers vibrated in the night sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a military transport plane, painted entirely green.

Obviously, the government couldn't stay out of such a major mysterious event.

Amidst the chaos, no one noticed the faint footsteps echoing in the empty hallways of the building.

Then came the sound of someone descending the stairs, followed by a faint whistle. Finally, someone pushed open the door, leaving footprints in the dust that extended onto the lawn, disappearing among the flattened grass.

A-Fen, still invisible, played with the Snake Talisman in his hand. He glanced up at the military helicopter and shrugged. "Indeed, it's a different world. The military in this world is much stronger! It seems the Sacred Lord is right; only by uniting can we outsiders conquer this world!"

He nodded, turned, and slowly walked away.

Regardless, he needed to deliver the Snake Talisman to the Sacred Lord first.
