Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Next, you will return to your respective positions and continue playing your original roles.

Those who need to return to headquarters should return to headquarters, and those who need to remain at their posts should remain at their posts. Everything will continue as usual.

Cui Ming paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

But there's one difference!

From this moment forward, you are my eyes, my ears, and my hands.

I need to know every move the Curse Binding Society makes.

Everyone responded in unison.

Cui Ming walked up to Yamada, the person in charge of the Okayama Prefecture base, who was bowing his head respectfully.

"Yamada, you will remain in Okayama Prefecture."

Those in the stronghold, those who can be controlled, can be controlled; those who cannot be controlled…

Cui Ming made a throat-slitting gesture.

Yamada nodded.

"Understood, my lord."

Cui Ming then looked at Zhui Ya and Ying Feng.

"You two, take a few people back to headquarters."

If they encounter a checkpoint on the road, they should say that the pursuit has failed and the losses are heavy.

A large number of people need to remain in Okayama Prefecture to recover from their injuries.

He pointed to the twenty cyborgs.

"Among you, those who return to the Cursed Bound Society headquarters with the Crow Chaser will remain in Okayama Prefecture to assist Yamada in taking control of the prefecture."

Once the rest of the Curse Binding Society arrives, subdue them together and hand them over to us. Understand?

Zhuiya and the others immediately nodded and agreed in unison.

Cui Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"Then let's do it this way."

He turned and walked back to the head of the table, sat down, and glanced at everyone.

"Three days later, you will leave in batches. Remember, do not leave together, and do not leave any trace."

Once at their respective positions, they should lie low and wait to be activated.

He stretched out his hand, and a faint blue light shimmered in his palm.

“I have planted the power of Dan Shi in your bodies. If I arrive nearby, you will sense it, and I will notify you through telepathy if needed.”

The crowd responded again.

......

Three days later, Okayama Prefecture began to bustle with activity.

The first to leave were Chasing Crow and Shadow Stitch, who, along with five colleagues, traveled by carriage towards the northern part of the island nation.

Along the way, they encountered several checkpoints set up by the Curse-Binding Society. They showed their tokens and explained the situation, and passed through them all smoothly.

The second group was led by Yamada, who returned to the casino with several trusted subordinates to continue operating it.

That very night, several of the Cursed Guild's informants in the casino were secretly replaced with cyborgs.

Furthermore, thanks to the tireless efforts of Cui Ming and others, they captured many scattered members of the Demon Alliance and the Curse-Binding Society.

After being modified, they were scattered throughout the southern part of the island nation.

In just three days, Cui Ming planted countless spies within the Curse Binding Society.

All of this was completely unknown to the Curse-Binding Society.

On that very day, members of the Curse-Binding Society began entering Okayama Prefecture, falling into Cui Ming's bowl like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

On the fourth day, a message began to circulate in Okayama Prefecture.

Some say they saw monsters in the mountains outside the city.

It's not just any ordinary little demon, but a legendary great demon!

The blue lantern, the guhuoniao, and the hairy prostitute are all still alive and wandering in the mountains and forests.

At first, nobody believed it.

But soon, a woodcutter said that while he was chopping wood in the mountains, he saw a woman in a kimono sitting under a tree, holding a blue lantern in her hand.

He tried to get closer, but the woman disappeared.

Some hunters say they heard a baby crying in the mountains in the middle of the night.

Following the sound, they saw a woman squatting on a tree branch, her face covered by her hair, holding a baby in her arms.

He was so frightened that he turned and ran, and even after running for two miles, he could still hear the baby's laughter.

Some people also said they saw a group of monsters gathered together, as if they were having a meeting.

The news became increasingly bizarre, quickly spreading throughout Okayama Prefecture and even reaching neighboring Tottori and Kagawa.

The members of the Curse Binding Society began to tense up.

Ordinary people may not understand, but don't they?

There are no monsters, they are just members of the Monster Alliance.

But weren't those monsters sealed or destroyed long ago?

How come they've suddenly reappeared now?

Could it be that the Monster Alliance is about to make a big move?

Cui Ming stood deep in the mountains, looking at the faint lights in the distance.

That was arranged by him; several cyborgs, disguised as puppets made from mechanical devices, were wandering around the mountains and forests.

Occasionally, they would make a commotion to deliberately attract attention from passersby.

The results were surprisingly good.

"Master, why are you spreading this kind of news?"

Yongen asked, puzzled.

Cui Ming smiled.

"Naturally, the goal is to muddy the waters."

He pointed to the lights in the distance.

"What has enabled the Cursed Society to run rampant in the island nation for so many years? First, the resurrection of the sacred pool; second, the intelligence network."

Now, I've planted spies within their ranks, but that's not enough. To completely overthrow them, I need even greater chaos.

"The reappearance of monsters will make them nervous. They will send people to investigate and mobilize more manpower."

The more people there are, the more loopholes there will be. We can then take advantage of the chaos to plant more spies and control more people.

Yongen suddenly realized.

Meifumen listened intently, his eyes lighting up.

"My lord is truly wise!"

Cui Ming ignored her and continued.

"Moreover, this news will cause panic when it reaches the ears of ordinary people."

Panicked people, losing their rationality, will do many things they wouldn't normally dare to do. At that point, the island nation will become increasingly chaotic.

He gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"The fact that the entire island nation is now united is actually detrimental to us."

The more chaotic and muddy the water, the more advantageous it is for us.

On the fifth day, the Curse Binding Society's regular reinforcements arrived.

The first group came from Tottori Prefecture, consisting of twelve people, led by a minor leader.

After arriving in Okayama Prefecture, they went directly to Yamada and asked for information.

Yamada gave them a warm welcome and arranged for them to stay in guest rooms in the casino's backyard.

That evening, the entire casino was bustling with activity.

The next day, they appeared in the cyborg team and became Cui Ming's new subordinates.

The second group, consisting of nine people from Kagawa Prefecture, did not come to provide support, but rather to investigate the rumors surrounding yokai (supernatural beings).

They were more cautious than the people of Tottori, choosing to stay in a hotel instead of a casino.

But it didn't work.

In the middle of the night, ground beetles crawled out from under the bed, and shadow spiders crawled in through the window. The nine people, still asleep, were silently dragged underground.

When they woke up, they were already lying in Cui Ming's underground secret room.

Three days later, both groups of people completed their transformation and joined Cui Ming's team.

On the eighth day, Cui Ming decided to move.

The number of members of the Cursed Bonds Society gathering in Okayama Prefecture is increasing. Although he has them all under his control, the fact that so many people are staying for so long will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Cursed Bonds Society sooner or later.

Moreover, those modified humans need to be dispersed to various places in order to truly be effective.

"Next, we're going to Osaka."

Cui Ming spoke frankly during a meeting with several core members.

Yongen asked.

“Osaka? That’s Sumitomo Group territory, we…”

Cui Ming waved his hand.
