Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Master of Disguise
Chen Gang's target was to kill Lu Hong, but he had to first gather knowledge about Lu Hong from the people around him to increase his chances of a deadly strike against Lu Hong.
In that case, he would strike the other law enforcers first.
At this moment, Chen Gang had already approached Ma Feiguang on the second floor, who was disguised as an old man.
"Xiao Ma!"
Chen Gang could choose whether to block the tracking devices, and to learn from Ma Feiguang, he did not use this ability, so Ma Feiguang could see him even though he was wearing glasses.
"Wang He, how did you get here? Weren't you guarding the west staircase?"
Ma Feiguang did not realize that the Wang He in front of him was Chen Gang in disguise.
A line of text appeared on Chen Gang's system interface:
[You have learned Ma Feiguang's accent, Voice Material Library +1]
"There's Luo Shan at the west staircase, Xiao Ma you need to head to the north stairway, I just discovered there's actually another intersection there we all missed, and it's unguarded," Chen Gang said.
"What? That shouldn't be, we've checked all the entrances to the mall, I remember there's none at the north," Ma Feiguang said.
"No intersection? Can't we create an entrance? Have you forgotten who we are dealing with? Why do you think he appeared silently on the fourth floor?" Chen Gang said.
Ma Feiguang realized and said, "Are you saying that the entrance on the north side was created by Lai Wuying?"
Everyone had their own system, and they had suspected that Lai Wuying had the ability to create entrances and exits, which was the only explanation for how Lai Wuying always managed to vanish when cornered.
"Then I'll head there now!"
Ma Feiguang turned and ran towards the north side.
"I'll come with you."
Chen Gang followed Ma Feiguang, and another line of text appeared on his system interface:
[You have learned Ma Feiguang's movement habits, Body Language Library +1]
Chen Gang's running movements gradually matched Ma Feiguang's, making their strides and movements identical.
But when Ma Feiguang turned a corner and ran to the north side of the mall, he found only a wall in front of him.
"There's no entrance, did it disappear?"
Just as Ma Feiguang was about to turn around, Chen Gang's palm struck the back of Ma Feiguang's head, causing him to lose consciousness immediately.
Originally disguised as Wang He, Chen Gang slowly crouched down and reached out to touch Ma Feiguang.
[You have learned Ma Feiguang's appearance, your Appearance Material Library +1]
[You have accessed Ma Feiguang's knowledge about Lu Hong, Thousand Faces Slash Moon (targeting Lu Hong) kill rate is 7%]
Chen Gang sneered, and his suit seemed to melt, lighting up with trails of blue light, and in a blink of an eye, he had transformed into Ma Feiguang!
——
By the time Xiang Beifei arrived, Chen Gang had already disappeared; he found Ma Feiguang amongst a pile of cardboard boxes, fortunately, he was just unconscious and still had vital signs.
"This guy is so fast!"
Xiang Beifei tried to wake Ma Feiguang, but was not successful.
Chen Gang's goal was only to kill Lu Hong and then disguise himself as Lu Hong.
Naturally, he couldn't kill Lu Hong's followers if he was to replace him.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhiwei also hurried over, "Hey, Xiang Beifei, don't run off...huh? Isn't this—"
Lu Zhiwei was startled when she saw Ma Feiguang lying on the ground.
"How could Xiao Ma end up like this?"
"He's been attacked!" Xiang Beifei stood up.
"Attacked? Are you talking about—Lai Wuying?"
When Lu Zhiwei heard this, she didn't panic, and although her reasoning skills were terrible, her training as a Law Enforcer was still evident.
She quickly shouted into the communicator: "Captain, this is Lu Zhiwei, something unusual on the second floor, Xiao Ma has been attacked!"
"Xiao Ma was attacked on the second floor? When did Lai Wuying get to the second floor? Wait there, I'll be right over!" Lu Hong replied in a deep voice.
However, no sooner had he spoken than another voice rang out from the earpiece: "Captain, I'm on the third floor and I just saw him take down Zhao Li!"
Did he attack someone on the second floor and then immediately run up to the third?
"I'll be right there!"
Lu Hong had almost run back to the second floor, but upon hearing this, he immediately turned and ran toward the third floor.
"Beifei, go to Xue Mo and stay with him, don't run around, I'm going to help," Lu Zhiwei said.
Xiang Beifei didn't move. He was wearing glasses, quickly scanning the entire mall.
Soon, he spotted Chen Gang at the men's clothing store on the first floor—not that he actually saw Chen Gang himself, he only saw Chen Gang's system panel.
"You disguised yourself as Luo Shan, successfully deceived the Law Enforcers, disguise ability +20"
"You accessed Luo Shan's perception of Lu Hong, Thousand Faces Slash Moon (specifically against Lu Hong) has a lethal chance of 18%"
In just a couple of minutes, Chen Gang had already disguised himself as several Law Enforcers.
The Thousand Faces Refined System was truly powerful!
Xiang Beifei didn't chase after him. Even if he did, he couldn't possibly capture Chen Gang, who was a practitioner of Meridian Opening and not someone he could contend with.
He had to think of another plan.
Chen Gang's system mission was clear, needing first to learn about Lu Hong from those familiar with him, and then use the targeted lethal technique to kill Lu Hong and take his place.
He had Lu Hong running around just to complete other tasks first, while incidentally draining Lu Hong's energy.
"If he ultimately plans to kill Uncle Lu, then all I need to do is stay with Uncle Lu, but—how do I tell him about this?"
Xiang Beifei knew that Lu Hong would not listen to him at this time.
Lu Hong was very agitated at the moment, wanting to catch "Lai Wuying" to avenge his old friend "Chen Gang."
Even if Xiang Beifei told Lu Hong that "Lai Wuying" was actually Chen Gang, Lu Hong would definitely not believe it.
Apart from himself being able to identify the disguised Chen Gang, no one else could distinguish him. His claim would seem too implausible, and Chen Gang could disguise himself as any Law Enforcer. He had also accessed others' perceptions, making it difficult to find flaws.
He certainly couldn't say he was able to see what Chen Gang's system was.
It was clear that Xue Mo's cat prophecy wasn't very accurate and couldn't provide much help to Xiang Beifei.
At the moment, Xiang Beifei was the only one who could pinpoint who Chen Gang was disguised as.
"How can I break his disguise?"
Xiang Beifei planned to first figure out the weaknesses of the Thousand Faces Refined System.
Chen Gang was continuing to move forward, about to walk into a blind spot of the mall's surveillance, but Xiang Beifei promptly found some precautions on the Thousand Faces Refined System panel:
"The Thousand Faces Refined can learn and disguise as anyone, but following are flaws of this system, please be aware…"
"I see, so that's it!"
Looking at the flaws reminder of the Thousand Faces Refined System, Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised.
A plan gradually formed in his mind.
