I will be stronger after the remake

There was not a trace of hesitation in Yuan Ji's eyes when he spoke.

The lie detector also proved that she was telling the truth and was not saying it on purpose to comfort Tang Ping, but she did not recall Gu Linglong because she questioned her own memory.

Tang Ping let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go back first. I will investigate this matter myself."

The three returned to the real world and rested for a while. After returning to work, Tang Ping began to subtly inquire about information related to Gu Linglong. If it was proven that only Yuan Ji and Ma Yiming had forgotten, or only the people in the security department had forgotten, things would be simpler.

Unfortunately, the investigation revealed the worst-case scenario: no one remembered Gu Linglong, as if she had never existed.

Moreover, it's not just memories that have been altered.

Tang Ping searched for "Zhuque Gu Linglong" on the intranet but found no information. She continued to search for the other party's deeds and found that she had been replaced by several other fourth-level spiritual energy users.

For example, in the spider demon calamity he personally experienced, according to the event records on the internal network, it was ultimately the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Gai Shi Ying who came to the rescue and summoned the Golden Exquisite Pagoda to suppress and kill all the spider demons.

Undeterred, Tang Ping called Ling Chong, but received the same conclusion.

For a moment, Tang Ping couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the person whose memories were altered was actually herself?

There is no such person as Gu Linglong in the world. He was infected by some kind of spiritual power, such as a monster named "Gu Linglong" parasitizing his consciousness and wanting to possess him and be reborn. The more he cares, the easier it is for him to be possessed.

After all, from a rational perspective, it is undoubtedly much easier and more practical to alter the memories of one person than to tamper with the memories of everyone in the world and erase all related information.

It should be noted that "Visionary Eyes" is already a very powerful psychic ability, but it can only alter the memories of one person. What level of psychic ability can alter the entire world and even historical records?

If things get even more terrifying, what if the past itself is also altered?

Tang Ping is not a particularly determined person. He doesn't have the absolute confidence that "the world is wrong, I'm not wrong." Unless it's a matter of life and death, he will want to retreat to his comfort zone when faced with a problem that is too difficult. After a day of investigation, he was really confused.

Between me and the world, which side is wrong?

On the way back to the dormitory, Yuan Ji noticed Tang Ping's mood, took his hand and said, "No matter what others think, I will always believe in you. Don't hesitate at all, you will definitely be the right one."

Tang Ping smiled wryly and said, "I'm not that confident... What if I'm really wrong?"

Yuan Ji answered almost instantly: "I'll make the same mistake with you."

"..."

Tang Ping remained silent as he walked back to his dormitory. When he reached the door, he let out a long sigh, patted his cheeks, and rallied his spirits: "I can't give up for you, even if it's wrong, I'll make it right!"

Yuan Ji smiled but remained silent.

"Think again, think carefully, is there anything I've overlooked? My intuition tells me there must be something that proves Gu Linglong existed..."

Tang Ping paced back and forth in the corridor, trying to examine her memory and find anything she had missed.

Compared to the other members of the Public Security Section, he didn't spend much more time with Gu Linglong. When he examined the last memory, he found the "opportunity".

"Have it!"

Tang Ping returned to his room and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets. He found a sealed iron box, opened it, and took out a red feather, which was the medium through which Gu Linglong had bestowed good fortune upon him.

"I can't believe I didn't think of something so obvious right away. It seems I was affected to some extent. Fortunately, the thing didn't disappear with me."

Tang Ping felt relieved. With this item, at least it proved that the problem wasn't her, but the world!

He showed the feather to Yuan Ji: "This feather was given to us by Gu Linglong when we were preparing to escape from Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. She said it would bring us good luck. We were able to enter the palace on the second underground level and find Xu Fu's elixir. This good luck must have played a part in it. Do you remember?"

Yuan Ji stared at the feather for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still don't have any related memories."

Tang Ping was slightly disappointed, but he was prepared for this. If it was so easy to break through the restrictions, he couldn't help but suspect that the feather was actually a backup plan left by Gu Linglong.

"No need to apologize. Your reaction is a positive feedback. If you suddenly came up with a memory related to the feather, but completely different from mine, that would be the worst thing. The fact that you don't know the origin of this feather proves that my memory is correct and that your memory has been tampered with."

Yuan Ji nodded, not surprised. She had always thought this way; the only one who was wrong was herself, not Tang Ping.

In contrast, she cared more about something else: the name "Gu Linglong" sounded like a woman's name, yet Tang Ping treasured this woman's belongings, which showed that it had a special meaning.

However, now is clearly not the time to be jealous. She doesn't consider herself an unreasonable or emotionally unstable woman, and decides to settle the score later.

"This can't awaken my memories either. I feel like I'm out of options."

Tang Ping felt a little discouraged, but he had already adjusted his emotions and did not give up.

Since no items directly related to Gu Linglong can be found, let's focus on the cards we have and try to play them in a good way.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a way. He immediately said to Yuan Ji, "Wait for me for half an hour. I have something to get from the Illusionary Realm."

"Do you need me to follow?"

"Just wait here, I'll be back in half an hour."

Tang Ping deliberately emphasized the time, then took out the Illusion-Breaking Stone and headed to the Realm of Illusion.

Yuan Ji was unsure of Tang Ping's intentions, but since she was told to wait for half an hour, she obediently stayed in the room and waited.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

The person outside did not respond, but continued to knock.

Yuan Ji's intuition didn't detect any danger, but she still became more vigilant. She opened the door and saw a girl with a strong anime/manga style standing outside. She was holding a black and red lace princess umbrella, had bright red lips and a sickly pale complexion, and looked like a vampire. A half-smile played on her lips.

A familiar figure, a familiar aura—in an instant, it was like a thunderbolt exploding into my mind, cleaving through the invisible shackles and unleashing the true memories.

"Gu Linglong!" Yuan Ji blurted out, "How did you get here... no, you're Tang Ping!"

She noticed the red feather in the other person's hand, realized the flaw, and her distorted perception was corrected.

Gu Linglong revealed a hearty smile that didn't suit her usual demeanor, and said, "My idea is correct. Using the alteration of cognition to counter the alteration of cognition, two negatives make a positive, that's the standard solution!"

The psionic ability "Campfire Fox Cry" can distort other people's perceptions, causing them to subconsciously believe the falsehood. Even if the transformed image is based on an anime character that does not exist in reality, they will instantly believe it without a doubt.

Tang Ping recalled the method she had used to deceive the recognition of magical artifacts, so she first transformed into Gu Linglong's appearance by making a "campfire fox cry," then concealed her spiritual power and activated the aura of her feathers, achieving a double deception and succeeding in one fell swoop.

……

The main stronghold of the Genesis Society.

A man dressed as a priest shuddered, turned to look at the other seat, and exclaimed with surprise, "Incredible! You actually broke through the Primordial Oblivion!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to succeed either."

Sitting in the chair, Gu Linglong took out a feather from her bosom and murmured, "Although it was a contingency plan I deliberately left, I never expected it to be the one who pulled me back from the state of meditation."

"Thank you for the man you mentioned. I will thank him as I would thank John the Baptist!"

The priest made a blessing gesture, then eagerly asked, "Are you ready for what's to come?"

Gu Linglong nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's begin the creation."

Chapter 144 Sudden Emergency Mission

Tang Ping felt that her memories had been altered for a day, with the alteration being that she "believed Gu Linglong's existence had been erased."

It's no wonder he had this misconception, because when he went to work the next day, he found that everyone remembered Gu Linglong, as if the things he had asked around and everyone had said they didn't know about yesterday had never happened.

Tang Ping searched for information on the intranet and found that messages related to Gu Linglong had returned. He even checked the recording of the phone call he made to Ling Chong yesterday and found that it had been corrected. The person who appeared at the end to eliminate the spider demon had changed from Gai Shiying to Gu Linglong.

If it weren't for the calendar proving that a day had indeed passed, and Yuan Ji's memories not being forcibly awakened, he would probably have started to doubt himself again.

"I did consider that forcibly correcting someone's memory might trigger a chain reaction and spread like a virus, but the effect would be too immediate."

During the lunch break, Tang Ping remarked to Yuan Ji with emotion.

“Perhaps the way to break the ‘erasure of existence’ is for someone to remember,” Yuan Ji suggested, then added suspiciously, “No, it seems you never forgot in the first place.”

"It might be because of the feather she gave me, or it might be because of my own uniqueness."

Tang Ping leaned towards the former. The "Three-Eyed Spirit" was indeed very practical and had played an important role in many events, but he thought it was unlikely to be able to counter a spell that could affect the memories and history of people all over the world.

Yuan Ji was slightly jealous: "It's very simple to verify the truth of the matter. Just contact her and you'll know."

Tang Pingquan pretended that he was too slow to notice and said seriously, "I have already asked someone else to try to contact them, but I haven't received a response yet."

"You don't have her contact information?"

"No."

This answer greatly improved Yuan Ji's mood, and he couldn't help but hum a little tune while taking a walk.

In the afternoon, Tang Ping received an urgent notification from headquarters. The person who notified her was Wen Xia, whom she had met briefly at the entrance of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. Wen Xia immediately delivered a bombshell message.

“A female fourth-level psychic is preparing to advance to the fifth level, tonight, in Lin’an. She specifically asked you to protect her safety.”

The Three-Eyed Spirit issued a warning about the lie, but the reason for the lie was strange.

Tang Ping's mind raced, but she feigned sudden realization and said, "So it really is the result of our last exploration; she performed it perfectly?"

Wen Xia said, "I'm sorry, it's a confidential matter, I can't tell you the details."

Tang Ping quickly made a knowing look: "I understand, I understand, but I'm not prepared at all. Isn't this too hasty?"

"It is precisely because we are caught off guard that we can ensure safety. Other countries' psionic organizations would never want a fifth-level psionic user to appear in their country, as that would disrupt the current world order."

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept strictly confidential?"

"No matter how much we try to keep it secret, we can't stop divination and prophetic spiritual energy. In particular, advancing to the fifth level will create a huge connection. Even if we send professionals to cover it up, we can't hide it. When she starts to advance, she will definitely be sensed. So, acting on impulse is the best way. Even if the enemy finds out, they won't have time to organize a manpower attack."

Tang Ping cautiously replied, "I am merely a third-level cultivator. If a true expert were to come, I would have no chance of stopping them."

Wen Xia said, "The country has assigned special personnel to monitor the movements of all fourth-level psionicists. Currently, there are no psionicists in the world who can teleport long distances. Moreover, there is a large barrier set up in the core area of ​​our country's Illusionary Realm, which can sense the invasion of powerful enemies immediately. If you really encounter a fourth-level psionicist from abroad, you don't need to stop them. Others will take care of it."

Even so, I am too weak and alone.

“You can mobilize any local psionicists. Headquarters will give you the title of temporary commander-in-chief. I remember the local head of the armed forces department was also a third-tier psionicist.”

Tang Ping knew that the other party was referring to Fu Zhengyi, and thought that this person's stance was unclear, so it would be better to have him than not.

Wen Xia was unaware of this and continued, "In fact, in order to distribute combat power as evenly as possible, a psychic energy management bureau will only assign one third-level psychic energy user to be stationed in a department. The reason why your Lin'an City has two is that you have only recently been promoted and the higher-ups have not yet made arrangements. Another reason is that there has never been a third-level psychic energy user in the security department before. Apart from the four municipalities directly under the central government, your Lin'an City is the local unit with the strongest psychic energy user strength."

Indeed, it is the strongest, because there are three level-three psychic energy users in the area.

Tang Ping made a quick judgment and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will do my best to ensure that the promotion ceremony proceeds smoothly."

"Okay, the formal appointment will be issued soon. Note that this matter is classified as top secret. Only local psionicists are allowed to participate, and all participants must not have any contact with the outside world. Otherwise, it will be considered treason and can be dealt with on the spot."

After saying that, Wen Xia hurriedly left to find her superior to reply.

After a while, the Psionic Management Department sent an official document.

Tang Ping and Wen Xia took the official documents and began to allocate manpower. First-level psychic energy users were too weak to participate, and second-level psychic energy users who were more inclined to clerical work also did not need to participate. However, they all had to stay at the Psychic Energy Administration Bureau and were not allowed to leave. They had to work overtime all night, and Hu Ze was in charge of supervision and management.

The Public Security Section sent Tang Ping, Yuan Ji, and Ma Yiming, while the Armed Forces Section sent Fu Zhengyi, Qin Ji, and three others, for a total of five people.

The group arrived in the Illusionary Realm and followed Wen Xia to their destination.

Tang Ping stared at the towering structure that suddenly appeared before her, speechless for a moment. The silhouettes of the White Snake, Bai Suzhen, and Xu Xian were faintly visible on the tower's surface, as if frozen in stone, telling the poignant story of their love.

Even the most obtuse person could guess upon seeing this that this tower clearly corresponds to Leifeng Pagoda in "The Legend of the White Snake," and that it had never been seen before, clearly having grown overnight.

An uninformed person might think that a scaled psychic was about to advance in rank here.

Due to the highest level of secrecy, Tang Ping did not explain the details of the mission to everyone, only saying that it was to carry out a protection mission and not allow any living creature to approach the tower.

The armed forces had carried out similar missions before, so no one raised any questions and they silently followed the arrangements.

Wen Xia was skilled in formations. She set up the Four Symbols Formation with Leifeng Pagoda as the center. She, Tang Ping, Yuan Ji, and Fu Zhengyi were stationed at the four positions, while the others hid in the corners of the formation, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Due to the strict confidentiality regulations, no one whispered or talked to each other, and they remained vigilant peacefully until nightfall, when the full moon climbed into the center of the night sky.

As time went by, strange changes began to occur around Leifeng Pagoda. The once calm air seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, and the distant stars flickered with eerie light. Their light twisted and intertwined, forming strange arcs of light, like mysterious runes flowing in the sky.

Dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, as if summoned by an invisible force, rapidly surging towards the top of Leifeng Pagoda from all directions. These clouds were thick and oppressive, with eerie red light flashing inside, and faint rumbling sounds emanating from them from time to time, as if the heavens and earth were roaring in anger at what was about to happen.

The unusual phenomenon slightly drew everyone's attention, but no one was alarmed. After all, today's unexpected mission was clearly not simple, and it would be strange if nothing unusual happened.

Moments later, a spectacular firestorm formed at the top of Leifeng Pagoda, and dark clouds followed, turning an eerie red as if they were set ablaze.

Before long, a huge cloud and flame vortex formed with the top of Leifeng Pagoda as the center. Deep inside the vortex, crimson light surged like magma, and countless firebirds danced within, as if celebrating the imminent birth of a great being.

Tang Ping murmured, "The acting is quite convincing, but it's still lacking. It needs a more straightforward portrayal."

As if to prove his words, a sharp cry of the Vermilion Bird pierced the night sky, and a crimson beam of light, like a giant blade that split the heavens, instantly broke through the top of the tower, pierced through the vortex of clouds and flames, and burst out with dazzling light, illuminating the darkness.

Almost at the same moment, the moon suddenly began to fall from the sky, crashing down towards the top of the tower.

Everyone initially thought this was part of the ritual, until a golden pagoda appeared out of nowhere and blocked the moon, at which point they realized that the enemy had launched an attack.

"How dare you act so presumptuously on the land of China!"

A powerful and majestic voice came from the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder that shattered the illusory moon image, forcing out a figure riding in a carriage.

A slender woman, wearing a radiant crescent crown, a long robe, and a veil, with wings on her back and a golden halo around her head, was seen riding a moon chariot pulled by two divine oxen, speeding through the night sky.
