I will be stronger after the remake

Seeing the two people rapidly approaching her, Tang Ping smiled kindly and sincerely reminded them, "If I were you two, I would turn around and run right now."

Mao Hui said fiercely, "You can't run away now."

As he spoke, he activated his psionic ability "Hand in Hand," instantly traversing ten zhang to appear in front of Tang Ping. He used a grappling technique to grab her shoulder, while an invisible force bound Tang Ping's legs at the same time.

"Those who do not heed good advice will suffer the consequences."

As Tang Ping sighed, he swiftly threw a punch.

He didn't recognize Mao Hui's moves, but his intuition told him where to attack.

Caught off guard, Mao Hui felt a sharp pain as his five fingers were forcibly flung away, and he was punched in the chest. He felt that his opponent was incredibly strong. His spirit, "Constable," was supposed to be a martial arts type, but he couldn't withstand the force. He groaned in pain and flew out, breaking several of his ribs.

"how come!"

Upon seeing this, Tan Lili immediately stopped in her tracks, momentarily filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Ugh--"

Tang Ping sighed and said earnestly, "It's too late to run away now, but if you surrender on the spot, you can suffer less. Honest advice is hard to hear, but I hope you won't make the same mistake."

"Loyal my ass!"

Mao Hui roared, enduring the pain of his broken ribs, and once again used his psionic ability "Easy Catch" to teleport in front of Tang Ping. He then struck out with both arms, accompanied by sonic booms.

This time, he no longer had the idea of ​​capturing the enemy alive; every move he made was aimed at vital points, and he was ruthless and vicious.

Unfortunately, for Tang Ping, who had already borrowed power from Yuan Ji by "borrowing the tiger's might", close combat was the least threatening way to fight.

Tang Ping stood still, waving his hands, palms covering fists, perfectly receiving each of his opponent's attacks, without missing a single move or adding an extra one.

A moment later, Mao Hui's rib injury flared up, causing him to pause in his movements. Tang Ping seized the opportunity and slapped him hard across the face.

"puff!"

With two teeth flying out, Mao Hui was thrown backward and fell to the ground, feeling as if his body was about to disintegrate, unable to get up.

Tan Lili snapped out of her daze and exclaimed in panic, "You borrowed abilities from your colleague, but when exactly? You two clearly had no contact!"

"Naturally, it was at the very beginning, when she pushed my chest, that I activated my ability and borrowed power."

"So you're standing still on the shore to conserve your spiritual energy?"

"It seems you're not too stupid, just a bit slow to realize things."

Activating "Borrowing the Tiger's Power" does not consume spiritual power, but using the borrowed ability afterwards will consume spiritual power. Even remaining completely still will consume the minimum level of spiritual power to maintain the state. Once the spiritual power is insufficient, one will be forced to exit the borrowed state.

The "fox demon" is not a spirit known for its abundant spiritual power, so Tang Ping naturally had to use it sparingly.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Captured in Full Force

"I've mercifully answered all your questions. Now you can surrender, right?"

Tang Ping asked calmly.

"That's impossible!"

Tan Lili reached out and grabbed Mao Hui, then leaped backward and fled at high speed. At the same time, she activated her spiritual technique, summoning a sandstorm to attack Tang Ping and block her view.

However, she hadn't run far when her body suddenly stiffened, she began to convulse uncontrollably, and finally fell to the ground, unable to move.

A square-faced man in a Taoist robe stepped forward, looked at the two, and said in a calm tone, "I was thinking of waiting and seeing if you had any other accomplices, but it seems you've really run out of tricks. It's disappointing."

The square-faced man didn't cast any illusions on himself; he simply stood less than fifty meters from the battle. Neither Tang Ping nor the two assassins noticed his presence until he spoke, at which point they realized someone was there.

Tang Ping recognized the other person as Fu Zhengyi, the captain of the Armed Forces Section, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had never officially met, they were in the same unit and had a list of members and a photo album, so she recognized him.

Fu Zhengyi is a third-level psychic who has awakened a unique spiritual personality. He is very powerful. After all, the Armed Forces Section and the Public Security Section are different in nature. Compared with management ability, leaders need force to subdue the masses and defeat the enemy. Pure management talents can only be the second-in-command in the Armed Forces Section at most.

During casual conversations, Tang Ping learned some information about Fu Zhengyi from Hu Ze, including that Fu Zhengyi's spirit was of the beast type, but the specific uniqueness of this person was unknown.

Seeing that the other party was unfathomable and appeared with the demeanor of a powerful figure, he thought for a moment and then gave up the idea of ​​using his Three-Eyed Spirit to spy on him. He took the initiative to greet him and said, "Captain Fu, thank you for coming to the rescue."

Fu Zhengyi looked at Tang Ping, his serious expression softening slightly, and said, "It's not a matter of saving them. Judging from the situation at the scene, these criminals are being manipulated by you. Even if our armed forces hadn't come, you and Yuan Ji would still be safe and sound. Don't blame me for not taking action sooner."

"No, I understand the principle of luring the snake out of its hole thoroughly."

"He is indeed a reasonable person." Fu Zhengyi nodded with great appreciation.

Tang Ping noticed that the other party had a high level of affection for her, but she wasn't surprised. Someone as outstanding as her would be hard for the leaders not to want to recruit, especially since they were in the same company, just in different departments, and lived so close to each other.

“I’m fine here, but Yuan Ji has been fighting continuously, and I’m worried that she’s running out of energy.”

"Don't worry, besides me, several colleagues have also come. They are all keeping watch over Yuan Ji and will make sure that no cult member escapes."

As the two were talking, Mao Hui, who had been pretending to be unconscious with his eyes closed, suddenly launched an attack. He pulled out a bunch of small black props with one hand and threw them at Fu Zhengyi. Then, he activated his spiritual power and teleported to Tang Ping's side.

Tang Ping thought the other party wanted to take him hostage again, but he was always cautious. Even though he was sure of victory, he did not release the leverage state and was about to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and capture the other party.

However, Mao Hui had no intention of fighting. He teleported next to Tang Ping just to get away from Fu Zhengyi, and then ran away in a different direction.

The psionic ability "Easy Capture" combines both movement and control effects, making people subconsciously think of it as a close-combat skill. However, as an actual user, Mao Hui knows that this psionic ability is also excellent for escaping. As long as you choose a target with weak ranged abilities, you don't have to worry about being entangled. Moreover, after restricting the target's movement, you don't have to worry about being chased.

"Hmph, you are stubbornly resisting."

Fu Zhengyi waved his hand, using his sleeve to catch the hidden weapon thrown by the opponent. He then used a soft force to deflect it to the side, and there was a loud cracking sound as dirt flew and thick smoke billowed.

Clearly, the hidden weapons contained gunpowder, but their power was not great; they could only injure people at very close range. Instead, the smoke was more effective at obscuring vision.

Upon seeing this scene, Tang Ping instantly understood why the other party, despite possessing a beast-type spirit, wore a Taoist robe. It was because the sleeves of this robe were large and wide enough that, if replaced with modern clothing, the "Sleeve Flicking Skill" would be impossible to use.

Then, Fu Zhengyi spread his arms and galloped like a roc riding the wind, catching up with Mao Hui in no time and immediately grabbing his shoulder.

"Die to me!"

Mao Hui suddenly turned around and swung his sword, revealing a slender sleeve knife in his hand.

Fu Zhengyi seemed to have anticipated this, and in time, he changed his claws into palms, using a move of disarming Mao Hui to snatch the sleeve knife. He then thrust the knife into Mao Hui's shoulder blade and kicked him in the knee, sending him sprawling to the ground. Due to the impact of the fall, the sleeve knife went even deeper with a "thud".

Upon seeing this, Tang Ping couldn't help but be surprised: "Hmm, his fighting style is somewhat similar to Yuan Ji's."

He thought the battle was over, but to his surprise, Mao Hui was incredibly brave. Despite suffering so many injuries, he still did not give up the fight. He shouted and forced himself to get up, his eyes bloodshot, ready to pounce on Fu Zhengyi again and fight to the death.

"Commendable courage, but otherwise rubbish."

Fu Zhengyi neither dodged nor avoided the situation; in fact, he put his hands behind his back as if he had given up resisting, and simply stared at the other person with his eyes.

Their eyes met, and Mao Hui froze, his face showing fear and struggle. Then he gritted his teeth, and veins bulged on his forehead, as if he were fighting against fear with his own will.

Finally, he let out a roar of resentment and humiliation, and knelt down on the spot under the gaze of Fu Zhengyi.

"Did you do too many bad things and get overwhelmed by your own guilt?"

Fu Zhengyi glanced at the other person with disgust, then kicked him, knocking him unconscious.

The other side of the battlefield.

Upon seeing their captain take action, the two armed officers no longer concealed themselves, shedding their inconspicuous state, and helped Yuan Ji to attack the opponent from both sides.

One person used water-based spiritual magic, benefiting from the Qiantang Dragon King's ultimate move, which greatly increased the power of the magic. The octopus-shaped water elemental summoned was a lifetime larger than usual. The other person took out a flute and played music that could distract a specific target.

The tree spirit and the vanguard man were only barely evenly matched because Yuan Ji was holding back. Now that the opponent had reinforcements, they could no longer hold on and were defeated in just a few moves.

The vanguard man was bound tightly by the elemental octopus's tentacles and unable to move, while the tree spirit woman was pierced through the thigh by Yuan Ji's halberd and pinned to the ground. She was then stepped on in the chest, preventing her from dispelling the spirit resonance state. After all, if she were in a human body, this injury could very well have killed her by severing a major artery.

After the battle ended, Yuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Even she felt tired after the series of battles, but she didn't forget to express her gratitude. She raised her hand and greeted the girl with the flute familiarly, "Thank you, Qin Ji."

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Torture

With one dead and four captured, the operation was a resounding success.

When Fu Zhengyi learned that it was Tang Ping who discovered the enemy's whereabouts and came up with the idea of ​​stalling the enemy while calling for reinforcements to wipe them out, he couldn't help but praise her, saying, "Although the plan wasn't very detailed, being able to devise a counter-strategy in an instant is quite remarkable. Most people would only react by running away when they discover the enemy's whereabouts."

"After all, Tang Ping is a rising star in our security department. She must have some skills. Otherwise, how could she have gained the recognition from above?"

The speaker was Hu Ze, who had just arrived. He was staring at Fu Zhengyi with great vigilance, emphasizing the words "Public Security Section," just like Runtu guarding a melon field, only missing a pitchfork in his hand.

Fu Zhengyi understood the other party's thoughts, chuckled, and changed the subject without saying anything provocative: "I have learned about Comrade Tang Ping's situation. I really didn't expect these cult members to be so audacious. The previous operation plan just failed, and they immediately launched a revenge campaign without any concern for angering the psychic community in our country. It seems that we have really been underestimated by them!"

Tang Ping couldn't help but glance at the captain of the armed forces department; the reason he was lying was quite strange.

Yuan Ji said in a heavy tone, "No, I can understand their thinking now. Tang Ping was kidnapped by a cult, and the Psionic Administration will definitely send people to protect him. The initial period is definitely when their vigilance is at its highest, so it is not suitable to take action. The best time to strike will be when their defenses are relaxed in the future. Just imagine, even we ourselves think that the enemy is unlikely to retaliate immediately, so we should do the opposite. This moment may be the best time to strike."

Fu Zhengyi remarked with emotion, "Your analysis makes a lot of sense. It's rare to see someone with such a reflective mindset."

Yuan Ji seemed to have a conflict with this person and ignored him. She bowed her head and apologized to Tang Ping in a serious manner: "I have to apologize to you and admit my mistake to everyone. I subconsciously thought that the enemy could not retaliate the day after the attack, so I relaxed my protection and played around with the enemy, which gave them an opportunity."

Although Hu Ze had many opinions about Yuan Ji, he did so from the perspective of a department leader. In front of outsiders, he quickly defended him, saying, "Alright, alright, it's good that you realize your mistake. From the result, you have actually done well and have no faults. Even if you hold a grudge, it's a case of making up for your mistakes with good deeds. No one will hold a grudge."

Yuan Ji pursed his lips and stubbornly said, "Merit is merit, and fault is fault. I am willing to accept punishment. If it is my responsibility, I should bear it."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense. The people from the Armed Forces Section were not in a position to speak, and Hu Ze was also put on the spot, feeling both angry and admiring. After all, there were many people who would take credit and shirk responsibility, but very few who would take the initiative to take responsibility.

Tang Ping thought for a moment and, going along with the other person's personality, said, "I accept your apology, but I also criticize your careless attitude. Given your performance today, I don't think there is any need for punishment, but you must adjust your mindset and better fulfill your guard duties."

Hu Ze quickly said, "Punishment is nothing more than two aspects, public and private. As for the private aspect, Tang Ping, the person involved, has already made a ruling. As for the public aspect, our leaders will discuss and decide. You don't need to interfere. You just need to accept it obediently."

"……I see."

Yuan Ji frowned and thought for a while before nodding in acceptance, which relieved everyone.

As if to quickly move on from this matter, Fu Zhengyi brought the topic back to the main point: "Although the Psychic Management Agency is in charge of the four major cult organizations, and the agency has already sent people to receive the criminals, the higher-ups have also agreed to let us conduct temporary interrogation to extract information as soon as possible. After all, when dealing with psychics, if we are even a second late, the gang behind them may have moved away because they have sensed the danger."

Everyone looked at the vanguard man and the tree spirit woman who were still conscious. An armed officer asked sternly, "Confess honestly and we'll try to get leniency!"

The vanguard man was very tough, and said coldly, "Forget about it, we won't say anything."

Without any need for negotiation, another member of the armed forces department, who already had a tacit understanding, played the good cop and said, "If you don't talk about it now, you'll still have to talk about it later. You know how psionicists are. You can't just choose not to talk about it because you want to. It has nothing to do with your own thoughts or will, unless you really don't know. Anyway, you'll have to confess sooner or later, so why suffer for nothing?"

The tree spirit was no longer so stubborn and said dejectedly, "It's not that we don't want to talk about it, it's that we really can't. You all know the methods of psionicists, it's not something I can just talk about whenever I want."

Knowing that the tree spirit was not lying, Tang Ping spoke first: "What she said makes sense. Cult members are all a bunch of ruthless people. It is reasonable for them to impose some kind of restrictive spiritual energy on their subordinates. Is there any way for us to bypass this restriction?"

If he could keep the Three-Eyed Spirit Radiance a secret, he would have loved to tell everyone that these five assassins were members of the New Realm Alliance and that they shouldn't waste time on other things.

The girl, whom Yuan Ji called Qin Ji, said somewhat insecurely, "My spiritual energy can remove mental restrictions, but the effect is weak and it takes a while to take effect. If the other party's restriction has some kind of countermeasure, it may backfire."

The tree spirit said in a panic, "Yes, yes, there must be countermeasures. Don't use them on me, or people will die."

The member of the armed forces, playing the bad cop, cursed: "You bunch of cult members, you usually treat human life as nothing, how come you suddenly cherish it when it comes to yourselves?"

The tree spirit opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to refute, but constrained by her current predicament of being at the mercy of others, she ultimately swallowed her words.

Yuan Ji said, "Using living people to test is indeed a waste. It would be better to use dead people for experiments, as if we were recycling waste."

Tang Ping reacted the fastest: "You mean, a changgui?"

Yuan Ji nodded, raised her hand to summon a humanoid ghost that appeared beside her. It was the unlucky guy who possessed the Stone Demon Spirit and was instantly killed by her.

"Tell me, which organization sent you, the Guiling Cult or the Spiritual Evolution Research Society?"

The ghost looked conflicted, seemingly reluctant to answer, but as a ghost, it had no choice but to obey its master's orders. Finally, it opened its mouth and said, "Neither, I am uh!"

The words stopped abruptly. The ghost clutched its throat with both hands, letting out a low growl of fear and despair. Finally, with a "bang," it turned into ghostly energy and scattered.

Seeing this, everyone could only sigh helplessly.

The tree spirit said, "I told you, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it."

Fu Zhengyi said, "It seems the restriction is set directly on the soul rather than the body. We can only hand the person over to our superiors and let them find a way to lift it."

He then turned to lead the four of them away.

"Wait a minute!" Tang Ping suddenly spoke up, "I think there's still a way to get around it."

Chapter 80 Psychological Suggestion

Before anyone could question him, Hu Ze quickly interjected, "What method do you have that you're sure will work?"

The tree spirit pleaded, "There's no way to get around it. We'll definitely fail in the end. Don't do anything reckless!"

Suddenly, Tang Ping knocked the tree spirit and the vanguard man unconscious.

Fu Zhengyi didn't intervene, but frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Ping explained, "They can't hear what I'm about to say, otherwise my method won't work."

"You really have a way?"

Fu Zhengyi was somewhat skeptical, not out of deliberate obfuscation, but because this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
