I will be stronger after the remake

Yuan Ji showed a look of disgust; she never bothered to hide her likes and dislikes.

Half an hour later, the table was filled with a sumptuous feast, which looked and smelled delicious.

After Tang Ping took his seat, he glanced at the table and couldn't help but exclaim, "Good brother, it turns out you weren't just bragging."

Although the psychic power proved that Ma Yiming was not lying at the time, there is a barrier between subjectively perceived facts and objectively existing facts. Now it seems that Ma Yiming has crossed this barrier in his ability to judge women.

"Hey, shouldn't I be the first one to be praised?" Yuan Ji said, feigning anger.

Tang Ping didn't hide anything and told Ma Yiming his evaluation.

"A traditional, family-oriented good woman..."

Yuan Ji pondered for a while, then laughed at herself, "Although I like fighting and killing and have a strong competitive spirit, there is no mistake, I am still a traditional woman."

Chapter 119 Finding the Drug Dealers

Despite establishing a romantic relationship for the first time in their lives, Tang Ping and Yuan Ji still had to go to work the next day.

Even the best companies offer the best benefits, but they can only give employees marriage leave, not relationship leave.

Neither of them complained, since their dorm rooms were next to each other, and they could see each other all the time except when they were sleeping.

"Based on Tang Ping's suggestion, I sought help from a sister unit. After consulting a divination, they were able to roughly determine the area where I would be active today."

As Hu Ze spoke, he turned on the projector and drew a circle on the city map, saying, "It's this area. Of course, to increase the margin for error, we might as well expand the area by another circle."

Then, he drew an even larger circle and said, "This time, there's no need to disguise our identities. Let's act quickly and decisively, and capture the person before they realize the danger and try to escape. I've already planned the route. We'll start searching from the center of the area and move outwards. If we still haven't found the person after searching the inner circle, we'll search the margin of error zone I just added."

Yu Shujiang muttered softly, "The department's efficiency is really high. I thought government agencies would definitely drag their feet."

Tang Ping casually explained, "Because our work is not administrative management, and the actions of psychics are based on individuals, not a department. For example, if Department A has psychics who are good at divination, they can ask them for help, but otherwise it won't be of any use."

"Oh." Yu Shujiang nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Hu Ze continued, "The core of the search operation remains Tang Ping, but others also need to assist, including protecting Tang Ping's safety, blocking the suspect's escape routes, protecting the people at the scene, and promptly contacting other departments for coordination in case of any accidents..."

He then assigned different tasks to each person based on their individual characteristics, secretly enjoying the process.

In the past, when we went on missions, we had to ask other units for assistance and often had to be mindful of Fu Zhengyi's attitude. Now we can finally be independent and even can't help but want to shout, "The Public Security Section has finally stood up!"

"...Everything that needed to be said has been said. Has everyone remembered it?"

The group exchanged glances, noticing that the director was in high spirits, and dutifully replied, "We've got it!"

Hu Ze waved his hand excitedly: "Great, let's go!"

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

Furthermore, the phrase "no need to disguise one's identity" refers to people other than Tang Ping. As a celebrity, Tang Ping faces the risk of being recognized by passersby, so he has to go to the Illusionary Realm to use the Campfire Fox Cry to change his appearance. This time, he chose Zhang Chulan from "Under One Person".

At the same time, Yuan Ji untied his ponytail, styled it into a middle part, and put on a rather drab baseball cap. He wore a slightly faded cotton short-sleeved shirt with a simple design, a classic round neck, and no excessive decoration on the collar and cuffs, giving it a plain and unpretentious look. He also wore a gray construction site jacket over it, paired with loose gray cloth pants and black cloth shoes.

"Are you cosplaying as Feng Baobao?"

Tang Ping glanced at Yuan Ji's attire and was speechless.

Because the other person wasn't wearing the corresponding makeup, it would be difficult to guess under normal circumstances, but by matching the person you're impersonating, you can understand instantly.

Hu Ze explained, "If you have no choice but to do it in front of the public, just say you're doing a cosplay event. After all, the characters you two are playing are quite capable fighters and are from a modern city, so it's easy to fool them and make it easier for them to fade from public memory later."

Yuan Ji said, "I think the director just thought that playing Feng Baobao was a low-cost role and could be done casually."

"Don't talk nonsense," Hu Ze advised earnestly. "You already have a boyfriend, can't you learn from his good points and try to be more tactful?"

Yuan Ji readily agreed: "I'm tactful with him."

"Be more polite to your superiors, and don't be so sharp."

Seeing Yuan Ji's nonchalant attitude, Hu Ze knew that the other party hadn't listened at all, but he wasn't disappointed. After all, it was expected. If the other party had actually said on the spot that he would no longer be sarcastic, he would have suspected that the other party was under mind control.

Therefore, he casually remarked, "Young people these days are all stubborn as mules. My child is the same. No matter what his parents say, he won't listen. He's stubborn and his grades are just average. I really don't know how he'll make a living when he enters society. Just thinking about the possibility of him being financially dependent on his parents makes my stomach hurt."

Yuan Ji said, "If you have a stomachache, take stomach medicine. Since you have the ability to let your child live off you, what you need to do next is to teach your child to be a person of good character. As long as they don't go astray and have the family business to support them, you don't need to worry about your child not being able to survive in the future. If the parents are more open-minded and don't urge them on this or that, they can even live a very happy life and find a job with a monthly salary of three thousand, which is still better than 99% of their peers in the world."

Hu Ze was silent for a moment, then said, "He could have done better."

Yuan Ji thought of himself and sighed, "But it doesn't necessarily mean more happiness."

Tang Ping looked at the two of them and said gently, "People usually have three steps to accepting reality. First, they realize that their parents are ordinary people. Then, they understand that they are ordinary people themselves. Finally, they discover that their children are also ordinary people. Everyone can do the first step. As long as they are not a fool, they will understand the second step sooner or later. But not everyone can accept the third step."

Hu Ze chuckled and said, "That makes a lot of sense, but we are psionicists, and we were never ordinary people from the beginning."

“But ordinary people tend to forget about things related to psychic powers. In their minds, we are just ordinary people.”

"..."

Seemingly triggered by some memory, Hu Ze fell silent and stopped speaking until they arrived at their destination.

"arrive."

Tang Ping got off the bus and found himself in a commercial plaza, bustling with people, lined with shops, and filled with noise.

Yuan Ji looked around and clicked his tongue, saying, "The flow of people is too large. Finding a suspect here will not be an easy task."

Hu Ze also felt rather helpless, saying, "According to the divination, this place is the most likely candidate."

Yuan Ji questioned, "Do drug dealers really dare to conduct transactions in broad daylight in public?"

“Even drug dealers can’t be out making deals all day. They also need to rest and have fun, go shopping and eat out. The condition for their calculations is the target’s range of activities for the day, not the location of the transaction.”

"Can't we narrow down the scope further?"

"The smaller the scope, the more difficult it is to perform divination. It's already good enough that they're willing to help. I'd be too embarrassed to ask for more. If I'm still not satisfied, I'll find a psychic who can perform divination to join us in the future."

"Old Hu, you've got your scheme back at me."

Tang Ping ignored their conversation and used her spiritual energy to scan the surrounding crowd.

On the way, he reflected on his actions and realized that he had made a silly mistake the night before. He didn't need to search for keywords in the character's profile; he could have just checked if the person was a psychic.

When a psionicist is identified, the accompanying description is significantly longer, making it easy to identify.

Han Lin was able to hide his information by possessing an ordinary person, but this drug dealer was a psychic, and he had nowhere to hide under the observation of the Three-Eyed Spirit, unless he was also a spirit of the underworld and had mastered the ability to separate his soul from his body and possess another's body.

"How could I only just think of such simple logic? Did my IQ drop that day because I wanted to be in a relationship?"

Tang Ping muttered to himself, his eyes quickly scanning the crowd for the long note, his efficiency more than ten times faster than before.

Ma Yiming and others took their positions one after another, standing in different locations to block possible escape routes.

But after glancing at the dense crowd in the square, everyone couldn't help but have an ominous premonition that they would leave empty-handed today, and they didn't think Tang Ping could really find the criminal.

Half an hour later, Yu Shujiang couldn't help but send a message in the group asking, "Are we ordering takeout for lunch or dining in at the restaurant? If we're dining in, I have a favorite restaurant that's not crowded right now. Why don't we place an order and make a reservation so we don't have to wait in line?"

"Order takeout."

Director Hu sent a cold, impersonal reply.

Yu Shujiang: "I also have recommended restaurants for takeout. The taste is no different from dining in, and I happen to have coupons, so I can make an appointment in advance and not have to wait."

Tang Ping: "I found it."

Yu Shujiang: "How could that be! I didn't even mention the name of this store to you. Could it be that we're on the same wavelength (shy)?"

Tang Ping: "I said I've found the suspect, stop thinking about eating all day (slaughtering pigs)!"

There was a moment of silence in the group, followed by a burst of messages.

Ma Feiyan: "Amazing, you found it so quickly."

Yu Shujiang: "Where? Where?"

Ma Yiming: "What clothes is the other person wearing?"

Yuan Ji: "Take care of your own safety first. Wait for me to arrive before you take action."

Hu Ze: "Don't rush into action. First, observe the target's surroundings to make sure there are no helpers. Don't alert them. Slowly approach them, narrow down the area, and cut off their escape route."

Tang Ping: "It's that guy who performs face-changing magic by the fountain."

Everyone quickly locked onto the target, and the same thought popped into their minds: Arrogant, this guy is too arrogant!

Not only did he appear in the public eye openly, but he also used his special ability to perform face-changing magic tricks, practically wearing the word "provocation" on his face.

Yuan Ji: "This person is not simple. If Tang Ping hadn't reminded me, I would never have been able to connect a magician performing in public with a drug dealer. Even if there is a clear connection between face-changing magic and the ability to change one's appearance, I would have subconsciously ignored it and thought that the other party would not take such a big risk. This is what they call 'the more dangerous the place, the safer it is'."

Hu Ze: "It's the darkest place under the lamp, so we can't let him get away, otherwise we don't know how the other side will laugh at us."

While discussing their plan in the group chat, the group cautiously approached their target.

Hu Ze: "The enemy is surrounded by a crowd. Is Yuan Ji confident he can strike successfully in one blow?"

Yuan Ji: "I'm not confident. The other party is a psychic, and their vigilance is naturally more acute than that of ordinary people. Even if they don't notice it themselves, the strange behavior of the audience will alert them. Even if they don't have time to escape, they can still take an innocent passerby hostage."

Tang Ping: "I can cooperate with Yuan Ji and pretend to be a cosplay to get close to the other party, but the characters in Under One Person lack symbolic meaning in appearance, so it is impossible for passers-by to make a connection at first glance. Therefore, someone has to take the lead and give the audience the impression of a two-dimensional character performance."

Yu Shujiang: "Leave this to me and Feiyan! It'll be fine!"

Before long, Tang Ping saw her sister and Ma Feiyan dressed in gorgeous magical girl costumes, laughing and joking as they approached the fountain. Ma Feiyan even started a live stream, something she hadn't done in a long time.

He didn't recognize the characters the two were playing, and guessed that it must be from a work that didn't exist in his previous life.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time! You haven't forgotten me, have you?"

"Oh dear, I have no plans to enter the film and television industry for the time being. Last time was just a hobby, helping a friend out. I know my own limitations. I'm okay at making games, but if I don't have the acting skills to act in movies and TV series, wouldn't I just be asking to be laughed at?"

"It's really my fault for not updating for so long, so this time I've brought in another beautiful girl to appear in the video. Please forgive me for the sake of the beauty. Thank you to Captain 'Rain After the Sky' for the crystal ball reward..."

Ma Feiyan, holding a selfie stick, skillfully talked to herself in front of the phone camera, completely ignoring passersby. In contrast, Yu Shujiang's expression seemed a bit stiff, but since she was a non-celebrity best friend who had been dragged along, it was a natural performance and didn't arouse suspicion.

Passersby in the square glanced at him and instantly pictured him as a "homebody streamer." They didn't find it strange at all; some even went up to ask for a photo.

Wang Weijing, who was performing a face-swapping magic trick, also noticed it, but this was not a rural town. It was too common to see live streamers dressed in strange costumes. Sometimes you could encounter two or three cosplayers on a subway ride, so there was really no need to be wary.

In particular, Yu Shujiang and Ma Feiyan did not approach him directly, but stopped at a distance of ten meters. Ma Feiyan even pointed her mobile phone screen at him and praised his performance to the audience.

The thought that he could use this to mock the Chinese police and point out that the person in the video was himself made Wang Weijing perform even more enthusiastically.

At this moment, Tang Ping and Yuan Ji appeared. The former intentionally imitated Zhang Chulan's outfit, changing into a slightly loose white T-shirt, paired with a pair of white sneakers, and deliberately messing up his hair, looking sloppy yet full of energy.

Tang Ping said with a roguish air, "Sister Bao'er, don't beat me too badly today."

Yuan Ji replied expressionlessly, speaking in a distinctive accent, "I know, I know, hurry up and get things done."

The two's makeup was really unremarkable, and passersby didn't immediately make the connection. It was Ma Feiyan who took the initiative to point it out: "Look, everyone, these two are also my friends. They are cosplaying Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao."

A barrage of comments scrolled across the screen.

"What's so great about cosplaying these two characters? Is wearing a T-shirt enough?"

"Hey, you know what, this guy actually looks a lot like Zhang Chulan. He looks like he stepped right out of a comic book. He really put a lot of effort into it."

"Speaking of which, Feng Baobao's face looks familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"

Ma Feiyan said with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, everyone thinks your cosplay is worthless. Can you prove it?"

Tang Ping said, "Alright, when it comes to the essence of these two characters, we have to look at their combat performances."

Chapter 120 Knowingly Breaking the Law

"Oh, look what I just heard! She has some special skills, she doesn't just rely on her looks to make a living."

Ma Feiyan spoke in the tone of a host.

Tang Ping didn't care about any character settings, and shouted in a loud voice imitating Zhang Chulan's tone, "Sister Bao'er, take it easy, my little body can't take your abuse."

After saying that, he exaggeratedly took a few steps back, making a frightened expression on his face.

Yuan Ji remained expressionless and replied in a broken Sichuan dialect, "It's nothing, you can't kill me."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked towards Tangping, looking like a hermit master.

Some passersby who had seen "Under One Person" were attracted and gathered around.

"Both of them have quite an imposing presence; could they be martial arts experts?"

"How could that be! They're just cosplayers. Haven't you ever seen a stage performance? They just strike a few nice poses and that's it. Don't have too high expectations of cosplayers."

"Feng Baobao's cosplay style is very different from the character, but she is quite pretty, especially since she doesn't look like she's wearing much makeup. On the other hand, the more I look at Zhang Chulan's cosplay, the more I think he looks like him."

The viewers in the live stream were unaffected by the "campfire and fox's cry" from behind their screens, but the audience at the scene were more or less affected. If they hadn't been told from the beginning that this was cosplay, they probably would have mistaken Tang Ping for Zhang Chulan at first glance.

Tang Ping gave Yuan Ji a wink, then suddenly charged forward, assuming Zhang Chulan's signature fighting stance, chanting, "Watch my Golden Light Mantra, I can't let Bao'er beat me down today."
