Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

In just one week, Major General Qin Yansaburo, the newly appointed head of the Special Higher Police, arrived in this ice and snow city.

Unlike Kiriguchi Keiichiro, who was domineering and had a tough attitude towards outsiders.

Qin Yansaburo's first impression is that he is calm, low-key, and good at coordinating relationships between various parties, which is why Nishio Daisho chose him to quell the storm.

Therefore, Cui Ming, under the identity of "Kiriguchi Keiichiro", held a grand welcome banquet for Qin Yansaburo.

The banquet was held in a small restaurant inside the Special Higher Police. In addition to the two main characters, the attendees included several Japanese and puppet regime military and political officials from Harbin, as well as several core mid-level officers from the Special Higher Police.

Of course, two of the officers were already Cui Ming's puppets.

The atmosphere at the dinner party seemed harmonious between the old and new, but undercurrents were actually brewing.

After the dinner, Cui Ming invited Qin Yansanlang to his office for a "private talk" under the pretext of "handing over specific matters and introducing the local situation".

Qin Yansanlang had no suspicions and followed along with a personal adjutant and two guards.

Cui Ming led the person into the office, and the door was closed by the guard, cutting off the outside noise.

"Qin Yanjun, please sit down. Some internal documents still need to be handed over in person."

Cui Ming, disguised as Kiriguchi Keiichiro, pointed to the sofa, gesturing for the other person to sit down.

He then went to the liquor cabinet and poured two glasses of sake.

The adjutant was left in a position near the door.

Qin Yansanlang nodded and sat down. Just as he took the wine glass, something unexpected happened!

A glint flashed in Cui Ming's eyes, and a powerful divine soul force erupted silently, like an invisible hammer, instantly smashing into Qin Yansanlang and his adjutant.

Both of them froze simultaneously, their pupils dilated, and their consciousness went blank for a brief moment.

Almost at the same instant, a shadow crept up from the corner of the office.

The shadow controlled by the Night Slayer sprang out like a living thing, entangled the lieutenant's limbs and mouth and nose, and dragged him into the depths of the shadows.

A faint sound of bones cracking was blocked by the isolation array that had been set up beforehand.

Cui Ming's figure was already close to Qin Yansanlang like a ghost, and his fingers, covered with the power of Dan Shi, struck more than ten major acupoints on his body with lightning speed, completely sealing off his movements.

The entire process was completed in the blink of an eye, without even alerting the guards in the hallway outside.

Cui Ming decided to transform Qin Yansanlang into a puppet high-ranking Japanese officer under his command.

After all, he still needed Qin Yansanlang to perform his duties "normally" for a period of time to stabilize the situation and observe the reaction of the Japanese high command.

He laid Qin Yansanlang flat on the carpet and gently pressed his hands on either side of his head.

One's own divine sense acts like the most precise probe, carefully invading the other's sea of ​​consciousness.

He quickly flipped through Qin Yansaburo's memories to understand his personality, habits, interpersonal relationships, and style of doing things, especially the specific instructions and tasks given to him by General Nishio.

He then began to implant several concentrated Dan Shi powers deep into the other person's brain.

These Dan Shi powers are usually in a dormant state and do not affect Qin Yansanlang's self-awareness and daily judgment.

However, when it comes to key decisions, personnel appointments, and matters related to the Navy, he subtly exerts a biased influence that aligns with Choi Myung's interests.

At the same time, these Dan Shi powers also serve a monitoring and control function.

Once Cui Ming makes a move, he can instantly seize control or cause the target to die silently and "accidentally".

Brainwashing and memory modification are also being carried out simultaneously.

Cui Ming erased the brief memory of the attack he suffered after entering the office that evening.

Replace it with a late-night conversation with "Kiichiro Kiriguchi" that was "frank but slightly contentious".

The content revolves around the situation in Harbin, the conflict between the army and navy, and the key points of follow-up work.

Cui Ming easily transformed the adjutant into a puppet. It is believed that an accident will occur in a few days, causing the adjutant to die a heroic death, so that Cui Ming can make room for him.

An hour later, Qin Yansanlang slowly woke up and found himself leaning against the sofa, feeling slightly tired.

Meanwhile, "Kiichiro Kiriguchi" across from them was putting away several documents, looking serious.

"Qin Yanjun, please be cautious about the matter we just discussed."

Cui Ming said in a deep voice.

Qin Yansan rubbed his temples, his memory naturally connecting, and nodded.

"Don't worry, Kiriguchi-kun, I understand the implications. Leave the rest to me."

The handover was successfully completed on July 15, 1938.

Kiriguchi Keiichiro withdrew from public view under the pretext of "feeling unwell and needing to return to Japan to recuperate," but in reality, a carefully disguised mid-level military officer puppet took his place in public activities.

Cui Ming himself went back to the basement of the dye house and continued to remotely control Harbin.

Qin Yansanlang officially took office and began operations.

Under Cui Ming's subtle influence, the Harbin Special Higher Police Department's internal restructuring and rectification was ruthless and thorough.

Those who haven't undergone Cui Ming's reformation will be quietly dealt with during this turmoil.

While the strategy towards the navy has improved, the core resource conflicts and intelligence misdirection are still being carried out in a more covert manner under Cui Ming's control.

In order to deplete the Japanese forces and replace key personnel, Cui Ming continued to advance at the original pace, unhurriedly.

After the army had infiltrated sufficiently, Cui Ming turned his attention to the navy.

Through his connection with Akira Ito and the contacts brought about by the "improved" relationship after Hikaru Hata took office, he began to try to reach deeper into the Navy's inner circle in Harbin.

The objective is to obtain some naval technical intelligence, especially basic design concepts or material requirements related to aircraft carriers.

Progress was slow but fruitful; some technical documents began to gradually flow into Cui Ming's hands through Ito Akira's hands.

Just as he was preparing to intensify his infiltration efforts, a secret letter sent through the Shenji Alliance's emergency channels interrupted his plans.

The letter was written using secret methods of the Tang Clan, and can only be deciphered by specific practitioners.

The content made Cui Ming frown.

The village of ley lines was attacked again, and this time it was more intense than ever before.

The attackers were mainly composed of members of the Quanxing Demon Clan, but there were also many groups among them who were armed with firearms.

Through secret investigation, Jianghu Xiaozhan confirmed that Japanese spies were involved, and even acted as the vanguard of the assault.

They seemed to have some understanding of the internal structure of the village, and their offensive was swift, breaking through the outer defenses and penetrating deep into the cave.

But the village of Earth Veins is no longer what it used to be.

With the help of some mechanical techniques previously provided by Cui Ming and the assistance of the Divine Machine Alliance, the cave was filled with powerful mechanical traps, trigger-based arrays, and new Qi-energy weapons.

The villagers and the Tang Clan and Tiangong Hall disciples who stayed behind fought tenaciously, taking advantage of the terrain, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.

However, the enemy was numerous and fearless, and the battle was at a stalemate for a time.

In the end, the defenders of the Earth Vein Village used their trump card – an "Earth Vein Bombardment Cannon" that Zhang Xuan had modified twice!

It's no wonder it's made by Zhang Xuan; its power is truly terrifying.

A single blast destroyed the entrance to the main passage of the cave, triggering a massive landslide.

This will permanently bury the attacking force and keep subsequent enemies out.

However, this also blocked the convenient passage between the village and the outside world.

The crisis has been temporarily resolved, but the village of ley lines has paid a price, with some facilities damaged and people injured or killed.

The second half of the intelligence is even more serious.

Jianghu Xiaozhan and Tangmen's peripheral disciples discovered that the Japanese regular army's supernatural force showed signs of reinforcing the Hunan region.

All signs indicate that the Japanese are determined to take over the village of the earth veins, or that they have some plan to carry out there.

Chapter 174 Colluding with each other

“Li Muxuan…”

Cui Ming murmured the name, his voice echoing in the spacious office.

The reason this person was spared outside the Earth Vein Village was merely to use him to advance the plot of the destruction of the Trinity Sect.

Zuo Ruotong felt indebted to this person, and Li Muxuan had many entanglements with Quanxing, making him an excellent catalyst.

However, the village of Leyline was attacked repeatedly, and the enemy clearly had some knowledge of the situation inside.

The first suspect that came to Cui Ming's mind was Li Muxuan, whom he had released.

Few people knew the approximate location and defensive layout of the Earth Vein Village, and Li Muxuan was one of them.

If this person truly leaked the information to the Japanese or the Quanxing, then he has dug his own grave.

"The Quanxing... the Japanese devils..."

Cui Ming's eyes grew even colder.

The Quanxing gang are lawless and unscrupulous, acting solely on their whims without any moral compass.

It is not hard to imagine colluding with the Japanese devils who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

I never expected that they would actually dare to extend their reach to the Earth Vein Village and even cooperate with the Japanese superhuman troops.

These malignant tumors should indeed not exist in the world.

The infiltration strategy in Northeast China has been initially established.

Qin Yansanlang, this pawn, has also been transformed. Under the cover of his "normal" duties, it is still quite simple to gradually and slowly erode the Japanese forces, with the Harbin Special Higher Police Section as the center.

Cui Ming has ignited a spark of conflict between the Japanese army and navy.

Even without Cui Ming's instigation, given the Japanese soldiers' greedy and profit-driven nature, someone would naturally have started a fight.

And Cui Ming was just as well, hiding in the darkness.

It's a pity that his decision to leave now and head south has interrupted Cui Ming's exploration of naval vessels, and even aircraft carrier construction...

But the safety of the Earth Vein Village is of paramount importance.

Earth Vein Village is not only an important source of mineral resources for Cui Ming, the Divine Machine Alliance, and the Tang Clan, but also the foundation upon which the Earth Wandering Immortal Clan has guarded and collected special earth vein minerals for generations.

Research and development in government agencies, science and technology for people's livelihood, military construction...
