Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Most of it consists of target information for "Project Painted Skin," tips on disguise, and some codes and coded language used to communicate with the Curse Binding Society and the Special Higher Police.

Inside a hidden safe that Cui Ming easily broke open using his radiated true qi.

He found several more heavily encrypted files involving a long-term infiltration plan targeting higher-ups in the Eastern Kingdom, as well as information about the Cursebound Society's key strongholds in the Northeast.

"The harvest was quite substantial."

Cui Ming put away everything of value.

Then, he took a closer look at Qian Fu, who was convulsing on the ground.

This person has special abilities, and this place happens to be very secluded, making it a perfect opportunity to transform this Jing Fu into a puppet.

Cui Ming also summoned Fu Jiang, and a large number of tools used to modify human puppets were taken out of the Devouring Pouch one by one.

He wanted to transform Qian Fu into a controlled "covert agent," just like the previous ones.

But this time, he wants to acquire the complete innate superpowers of Qianjingfu and deeply integrate them with the Thousand-Faced Puppet.

At the same time, he also needs to dig out more detailed information from his memories about the Curse Binding Society, the Kwantung Army's superhuman unit, Hira Ninja, and the "dyed workshop".

After all, this guy might have already sent countless Japanese spies into the East.

Once this intelligence is obtained, it will be even easier for Cui Ming to completely remove these thorns planted in the land of Dongguo.

Chapter 167 Kiriichiro Kiriguchi

The renovation of Qianjingfu lasted for a whole week.

After taking over the entire dyehouse, Cui Ming also cleaned up the surrounding area. This abandoned warehouse area is now entirely under Cui Ming's control.

Cui Ming, on the other hand, dug a completely soundproof basement deep into the existing dyehouse.

It was in this basement that Cui Ming brainwashed and transformed Jing Qianfu into a half-human puppet, and gradually disassembled Jing Qianfu and completely merged him with the Thousand-Faced Puppet.

This process can only proceed slowly and requires an extremely high degree of precision.

I don't know if it's because the Japanese are prone to producing perverts, but the two have very similar supernatural abilities.

As long as integration is promoted step by step, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Thanks to the devastating blow to Qian Jingfu's mind from the power of divine retribution, his consciousness is now shattered.

All that remains is the biological instinct to resist foreign objects, which makes the disassembly and fusion process less troublesome.

Now is the time for Qianjingfu to completely merge with the Thousand-Faced Puppet.

Today's Thousand-Faced Puppet can have a surface that flows like water ripples.

The color and texture can be customized to Cui Ming's liking, simulating the texture and temperature of wood, fabric, and even different skin.

Cui Ming tried to control the Thousand Faces to cover his arm again, and the thought came to him.

His arm then transformed into the skin of a middle-aged man, exactly like the one in the story of Jing Fu, down to the tiny spots on the back of his hand.

"It's done!"

Cui Ming was somewhat excited.

This means that in the future, his disguises will no longer be limited to changes in the appearance of the puppet, but will be able to simulate the physiological details of the target.

In a sense, this is no longer a disguise but a direct transformation into the other party.

After dealing with Qianjingfu, Cui Ming turned his attention to the dye shop itself.

The location here is secluded, and security can be handled entirely by formations and puppets.

The interior of the dye house has been cleaned up by the Shadow Spiders and others, and the outer illusion array and isolation array can be maintained for a long time with the help of the ley line power piles.

This is clearly the most ideal base for Cui Ming.

For the next three months, Cui Ming did not leave.

Centered around this dyehouse, and using the identity of "Deep Diver" Jing Fu as a cover, he patiently wove a large net.

The corpses of the five superhumans who were originally responsible for guarding this place were not wasted.

They were all transformed into human puppets by Cui Ming, and were parasitized by four strands of Cui Ming's divine soul, responsible for the daily guarding and miscellaneous tasks on the surface of this stronghold.

Through these puppets, Cui Ming took in all the dying compatriots who had been sent by the Japanese during this period and hid them in the basement to recuperate.

Cui Ming's counter-infiltration of the Special Higher Police began with their rotation of personnel within the "Dyehouse".

As is customary, a new person with supernatural abilities will come to take over every two weeks, while also delivering instructions and collecting the finished "painted skin" products.

So when it came time for the first rotation, Cui Ming used the same trick again.

Cui Ming launched an attack the instant the handover personnel entered the dyehouse, using the Earth Vein Dragon Locking Formation to suppress them, and with the help of numerous puppets and mechanical arms, quickly subdued and modified the two superhumans who came to relieve him.

The process was extremely clean and efficient. Under the cover of the isolation array, the already deserted abandoned warehouse area remained completely undetected.

At 2 p.m., the Special Higher Police Department headquarters building was still filled with that unique sense of oppression.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming had transformed into "Takahashi," a medium-sized, sharp-looking superhuman agent.

Together with another colleague, "Kobayashi," whose eyes were slightly vacant but who had actually been transformed into a half-human puppet, they passed through the heavily guarded sentry post and stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor.

The two men carried leather briefcases marked "Confidential," their steps steady, no different from the cold-faced, hurried spies passing by.

At the end of the third-floor corridor was Lieutenant General Keiichiro Kiriguchi's office.

Two armed guards stood on either side of the door, their eyes sharp as eagles, scrutinizing everyone who approached.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming's own spiritual power had quietly spread out, scanning the surroundings like a radar.

Directly below the second-floor offices is the office area for dozens of superhuman agents;

In the room next door, separated from the office by only one wall, there were three chilling auras, like lurking venomous snakes.

Those were the bodyguards of Hirai Shinobu, who were responsible for Kiriguchi Keiichiro's safety; their strength was not to be underestimated.

Inside the office, besides the target, Kiriguchi Keiichiro, there were two other presences.

He looked rather frail, just an ordinary person, probably a secretary;

The other one possessed the crude and sharp aura unique to Japanese ronin, with refined Qi, and was the only enemy outsider in the office.

'The guards are quite thorough.'

Cui Ming snorted coldly in his heart.

'It seems he knows he's done many wrong things, that he's so afraid of dying.'

But in Cui Ming's eyes, these layers of protection were nothing more than a matter of a little effort.

Upon seeing Cui Ming and his companion approach, the guard first sized them up.

Only then did he reach out and take the documents handed to him, glance at them, and then spit out a contemptuous look before letting them pass.

"Get out of here! Behave yourselves!"

Cui Ming could tell from the guards' attitude.

These Japanese soldiers and strange individuals don't seem to have very high status...

He silently lowered his head and entered.

The office was spacious but gloomy, with heavy curtains blocking out most of the light, and the air was filled with the smell of cigars and old paper.

Behind the huge desk sat an elderly man with gray hair and a stern face; it was none other than Kiriguchi Keiichiro.

He wore a crisp military uniform, his eyes were sinister and full of disdain, carrying the inherent contempt and wariness towards those who were not of his kind.

A young secretary wearing glasses stood beside the desk, head down, organizing documents.

In the shadows of the corner of the room, a middle-aged man dressed as a ronin, with a sword at his waist, stood with his arms crossed against the wall.

He slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at the two people who had entered, and then closed them again, but a faint aura had already quietly locked onto them.

"General."

Cui Ming and the half-human puppet Xiao Lin bowed at the same time.

Kiriguchi Keiichiro responded with a short syllable through his nose, his gaze fixed on the briefcase.

"How has the work of the 'leather makers' been going these past three months at the dye shop? I need a detailed report, especially on the 'adaptation' of the new materials."

"Yes."

The half-human puppet Kobayashi stepped forward, opened his briefcase, took out the documents, and began to repeat the report that Cui Ming had already fabricated:

"...Since the last rotation, Master Qianfu has completed three intermediate-level camouflage skins and seven basic-level ones. Those successfully implanted into their targets are currently showing stable results..."

…The three newly discovered targets with special physical characteristics have been sent to Processing Point Two and are awaiting further…

Cui Ming lowered his head slightly and stood behind and to the side of Xiao Lin.

He appeared respectful, but in reality, he used his divine sense to take control of every detail inside and outside the room.

The thickness of the walls, the structure of the office, the precise location of the three ninjas next door, the sporadic conversations and Qi flow of the strange people downstairs... all of these were reflected in his mind.

Right now.

When Xiaolin reported on a certain data node, a glint flashed in Cui Ming's eyes.

Without any warning, an invisible and intangible yet soul-chilling force of divine punishment, mixed with the power of the pill-devouring, quietly spread from Cui Ming as the center, instantly enveloping the entire office.

The three people in the office were all stunned, and even the supernatural being was unable to move.

At the same time, Cui Ming took out two simple array compasses and flicked them upwards, sticking them to the ceiling.

The isolation array runes, pre-engraved in the fine lines of the compass and activated by the radiating true qi, glowed slightly.

Multiple barriers are stacked to completely isolate the room from the outside world, eliminating sound, light, and energy fluctuations!

Chapter 168 Reverse Infiltration

"Let's do it!"

The moment the divine thought was transmitted, several Devouring Pouches slid out from the sleeves of Cui Ming's arms and opened upon landing!

A dark shadow suddenly appeared!

With a figure that seemed to float elusively like a "terrifying ghost," he pounced on the ronin in the corner first, his eyes blazing with a captivating, eerie light that pierced straight into the opponent's soul!
