Chapter 33: God-Level Makeup Technique

Even if Shanghai doesn't have ten thousand beggars like this, it still has eight thousand.

You can see them on every street, so nobody pays them any attention.

Chen Yongren followed his gaze.

A cargo ship with the word 'Marie' sprayed on its hull came into view.

Chen Yongren became increasingly certain that he had a problem.

In the next second, Chen Yongren directly focused his insight, locking onto him.

In an instant, all the chaotic noises in Chen Yongren's ears vanished, leaving only his own thoughts.

"What a pity."

"The operation suddenly started, there are many tasks, and we are short-staffed."

"But fortunately, the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau is severely damaged; they are also overwhelmed!"

"We can free up our hands to do more things."

"It's better for one person to earn merit than for a group to fight over a share of merit."

Earn merit?

You damn well have to go report downstairs today.

"A Ren, why did you stop?" Zhang Haifeng walked a few steps, then realized Chen Yongren hadn't moved, walked back to his side and asked.

Chen Yongren smiled and said softly, "Haifeng, do you know how to tell on the street who is a Japanese spy?"

"How do you tell?" Zhang Haifeng instantly became interested.

He really wanted to know Chen Yongren's technique for catching Japanese spies.

"Those who appear to be doing something else but are absent-minded are Japanese spies." Chen Yongren looked and said softly.

Zhang Haifeng followed Chen Yongren's gaze and looked at that beggar.

But Chen Yongren had already crouched beside him and said concisely, "Where is the Pangolin?"

He didn't expect to get any information from this Japanese spy's mouth.

But as long as the Japanese spy thought about information concerning the Pangolin, I could drag that old beast out.

Seeing a person approach, this Japanese spy originally intended to pretend to ask for money.

Especially after hearing Chen Yongren's words, his face changed.

"Chuan Shan Jia Section Chief, how would I know where he is?"

"No, he's a Military Statistics Bureau agent; I've been exposed!"

Firing openly would surely alert the Marie cargo ship; the Japanese spy's face showed a ruthless expression, and he instinctively drew a dagger.

However, Chen Yongren acted even faster!

The Japanese spy only felt a soreness in his wrist, lowered his head and looked.

The dagger actually appeared in Chen Yongren's right hand.

In his astonished gaze, Chen Yongren swiftly slit his throat.

The Japanese spy widened his eyes, desperately trying to shout, but blood had already flooded his windpipe, making no sound possible.

It's a long story, but everything happened in a flash; soon the Japanese spy's head drooped, and he was completely still.

The Japanese spy's eyes held a hint of shock and disbelief, as if he hadn't imagined he would die in such a stifling way.

Since this little Japanese devil in front of him doesn't know the Pangolin's whereabouts, Chen Yongren also couldn't be bothered to waste more words.

Kill him first, talk later.

Anyway, the Japanese spies' Rainstorm Plan has already been activated.

What Shanghai lacks least now is Japanese spies.

After killing that Japanese devil, Chen Yongren heard a long-missing system prompt in his ear.

【Congratulations, master, for successfully killing one Japanese spy and gaining one lottery chance】

【System lottery in progress…】

【Congratulations, master, you have obtained the skill, God-Level Makeup Technique】

【God-Level Makeup Technique: In a spy's career, how could one show one's true face? Use your superb makeup skills to conceal your identity and toy with the enemy in the palm of your hand】

【You will possess godlike makeup skills; even those who know you well will find it hard to discern your identity】

【God-Level Makeup Technique is not limited to applying makeup on oneself; it can also be used on others】

【Makeup includes clothing coordination; everything will be naturally perfect, with no jarring inconsistencies】

As the system voice sounded, Chen Yongren felt a clear sensation in his mind.

Especially, his understanding of makeup techniques improved somewhat.

Seeing this reward, Chen Yongren immediately burst into laughter.

God-Level Makeup Technique?

This is a good thing, huh—killing, looting, framing…

Pah!

With this skill, before future operations, I can also better conceal my identity.

Zhang Haifeng was still dazed.

Chen Yongren had already walked to his side and said softly, "Hurry up!"

Zhang Haifeng instantly came to his senses, followed behind Chen Yongren, turned his head to glance at the beggar's corpse, and couldn't help but silently admire.

A Ren's killing technique is simply becoming more and more mature.

It seems there are still many places where I need to learn.

After dealing with that Japanese spy, Chen Yongren immediately took Zhang Haifeng to buy some cosmetics and two sets of clothing.

Afterwards, Chen Yongren again took Zhang Haifeng to a small alley.

Having Zhang Haifeng, this 'lab rat', around made it perfect to try out makeup on him.

Under Chen Yongren's makeup skills, Zhang Haifeng completely changed his appearance.

Originally his face had a bit of a baby-face, and his skin was also somewhat pale.

But after Chen Yongren's touch, the originally baby-faced look became angular, his skin turned sallow, and he even gained a few pockmarks.

Holding the small mirror given by the merchant, Zhang Haifeng exclaimed in surprise, 'A Ren, is this still me?'

'If not you, then who could it be?' Chen Yongren quickly did up his own makeup as well.

'A Ren?'

Looking at the person before him, Zhang Haifeng stared, dumbfounded.

The original Chen Yongren resembled a wealthy young master, his looks surpassing even the current top male film and television stars by a few degrees.

Especially those eyes, which at first glance seemed to have weathered countless hardships, as if full of stories.

At this point, Chen Yongren had completely changed his appearance: his beard was unkempt, his skin oily, his mouth full of yellow teeth, and even his originally story-filled gaze had become quite ordinary.

Such a face is everywhere on the street; you'd forget it the moment you turn away.

After changing their appearance, the two left the courtyard again; Chen Yongren activated his Inspection once more, with a radius of twenty meters, beginning to search for Japanese spies.

Just as Chen Yongren had judged, the streets were never lacking in Japanese spies.

Such places as warehouses, granaries, various government offices, even fire stations and police posts all revealed the presence of Japanese spies.

After a round of Inspection, they were all minor figures.

Regarding this, Chen Yongren had only one word.

Kill!

【Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the skill, Inspection lv1】

【Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the item, gag】

【Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the knowledge, captive binding technique】

【Congratulations, Master, you have obtained silver dollars, 500 units】

……

The system, silent for a long time, saw its rewards burst forth.

But seeing rewards such as gags and bindings, Chen Yongren increasingly felt that the damned system was hinting at something.

In just a single day, the number of Japanese spies dead at Chen Yongren's hands reached seven.

But whether it was the Pangolin Project or the Rainstorm Plan, there was still no progress.

Time quickly came to five in the afternoon.

After running around all day, Chen Yongren also felt a bit weary, so he took Zhang Haifeng to Jinling Road.

They bought two bottles of women's perfume, and also a delicate women's pendant.

The two had just come out of the jewelry store.

'A Ren, it's one of our people—what do we do?!' Just as they stepped out of the shop, Chen Yongren heard Zhang Haifeng let out an anxious low growl.

Looking up, they saw Lin Dayou actually leading a group of people passing by.

'Damn it, I just don't believe we can't find anyone!'

'Search for them!'

'No matter what, we must drag those two brats out!'
