Liu Xiaoxiao's words made Shan Nan frown instantly.
This issue was indeed the most crucial of all.
If even entering the country was a problem, then all subsequent reconnaissance missions would be mere talk.
Seeing everyone's worried expressions again, Han Lang appeared relaxed.
He chuckled and replied,
"I don't think we need to worry about that. Before you all arrived, I already had a plan in mind!"
Liu Xiaoxiao quickly asked,
"What plan? Tell us quickly!"
Han Lang calmly replied,
"If we were to enter as we are, the risk factor would naturally be extremely high. After all, our appearances are very different from those of the Bai Xiang people. We might be discovered the moment we enter. But if we disguise ourselves, this problem might be solved!"
Hearing this, Tang Geng seemed to have thought of something.
"You mean, we should put on makeup? Make ourselves look like Bai Xiang people and then enter?"
Han Lang nodded.
"Even if they are on guard, they won't guard against their own people! And since ability users don't have divine sense, as long as our disguise is good enough, I believe they won't notice anything even if we stand right in front of them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Nan raised another doubt.
"This plan is feasible, but makeup isn't that simple, is it? Even with rouge and powder, it's impossible to achieve such perfection!"
Han Lang chuckled.
"Deputy Officer Shan misunderstands. The makeup I'm talking about isn't ordinary makeup, but a high-level disguise technique called 'Yi Rong' that exists in martial arts novels!"
Everyone was stunned and raised doubts.
"Isn't this something from movies? Can it be achieved in reality?"
"Exactly. And even the so-called disguise techniques in movies aren't that sophisticated. Sharp-eyed people can see through them at a glance!"
"Can this work?"
Seeing their disbelief, Han Lang became even more smug.
He chuckled.
"Have you forgotten my identity? I am the Shen Nong Heavenly Doctor!"
Even so, everyone still didn't fully believe Han Lang.
"So what if you're the Shen Nong Heavenly Doctor? This is disguise, not medical skill."
"Right! I believe you when it comes to treating illnesses, but disguise, I haven't seen it, and I don't dare to believe it!"
Han Lang, hearing this, became somewhat flustered and quickly retorted.
"Why are cosmetic surgery hospitals called hospitals? Don't they also originate from medical principles?"
The crowd was speechless.
Finally, to ease the awkward atmosphere, Shan Nan stepped forward and said,
"Deputy Commander Han. We truly don't understand your disguise technique. So how about this, you try it on me first. If it's feasible, we'll proceed as you suggested. Otherwise, we'll have to discuss other options!"
Hearing Shan Nan's sensible suggestion, Han Lang immediately nodded.
"Alright. It's rare for Deputy Officer Shan to trust me. In contrast, my own brothers make me feel disheartened."
His words made Tang Geng and the others blush with shame, wishing they could disappear into a hole.
Meanwhile, Han Lang had already begun disguising Shan Nan.
This special method of disguise is also detailed in the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles.
Furthermore, after a long period of optimization and summarization, the ancestors of the Shen Nong Heavenly Doctors had even evolved it into a needle technique.
The needle technique was named "Qian Mian Huan" (Thousand Faces Illusion).
It was specifically designed for disguise.
However, while the basic principles of this needle technique were the same, there were no fixed acupuncture points.
Because the subject of disguise differed, the points for needle insertion also varied.
Therefore, to completely disguise everyone as Bai Xiang people who were difficult to distinguish, Han Lang had to conduct different research based on his understanding of the Bai Xiang people's physical characteristics.
Of course, he had been considering this issue since he planned to cross the border.
So now, without any hesitation, he directly began to "work" on Shan Nan.
As the silver needles condensed with spiritual energy were inserted into Shan Nan's face and neck, everyone could visibly see Shan Nan's face begin to contort.
Even his skin tone started to darken.
Before the disguise was even complete, everyone began to exclaim.
"Holy cow! This is too awesome. Is this the seventy-two transformations?"
"Disguise is also within the scope of study for Shen Nong Heavenly Doctors? Isn't the knowledge base of Shen Nong Heavenly Doctors too vast?"
"No wonder they are so rare! I finally understand why Shen Nong Heavenly Doctors often remain in legends!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... People who can be Shen Nong Heavenly Doctors must have different brain structures than ordinary people. Ordinary people's brains can't remember so much. Like me, I forget what happened yesterday today!"
"That's because you're heartless!"
Amidst everyone's chatter, Shan Nan's facial condition finally stabilized.
Looking at him now, he was no longer Shan Nan.
He clearly looked like a native Bai Xiang Indian!
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Shan Nan was also full of anticipation. He quickly called out,
"Mirror, give me a mirror so I can see myself!"
Tang Qin quickly took out her usual mirror from her storage ring and handed it to Shan Nan.
And when Shan Nan saw his reflection in the mirror, he too widened his eyes.
"Holy cow, holy cow! This is divine craftsmanship!"
While marveling, he kept pinching his face, as if trying to peel off the disguise.
Han Lang, seeing this, was amused.
He said with a smile, "Deputy Officer Shan, you don't need to doubt it. My 'Qian Mian Huan' technique changes the structure from within the body, so even if you tear your face until it bleeds today, you'll never find the so-called 'human skin mask'!"
Shan Nan was even more shocked by this.
"You mean, you didn't put any auxiliary items on my face?"
Han Lang nodded.
"If auxiliary items were used, it would only be considered makeup, not disguise!"
Shan Nan was even more astonished.
He immediately put down the mirror and then slammed the table.
"Good! With such a disguise technique, we are definitely going on this border crossing mission!"
Hearing Shan Nan agree to the plan, everyone else was also overjoyed.
Liu Xiaoxiao quickly asked,
"Then, in your opinion, who should we arrange to go this time?"
Hearing that slots were being chosen, Tang Geng quickly interjected,
"In terms of strength, I should go, right? I'm now on par with Political Commissar Liu!"
Ma Long, hearing this, became anxious.
"I was a scout in the regular army before, with rich experience, I must go!"
Tang Qin retorted, "Ma Long, are you discriminating against me with what you just said?"
Zhao Wu also chimed in, "Expelling ability users is our undeniable duty."
When Han Lang was about to speak, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately interrupted.
"Hold on. Han Lang, Commander Song specifically asked me and Deputy Officer Shan to come here, and I think you understand the intention. Your identity is special, and the army needs you very much, so I don't object to them going, but you. I think we need to discuss it with Deputy Officer Shan."
Hearing this, Han Lang felt as if a sensitive spot had been touched, and he quickly protested.
"Why? In terms of rank, I'm higher than them and should lead by example! In terms of strength, my combat power is not weak, enough for self-preservation; and I'm the one who did the disguise, so it would be unfair not to let me go!"
"But..."
Liu Xiaoxiao intended to persuade him further, but Han Lang directly dropped a bombshell.
"And I'll tell you. My disguise technique uses spiritual energy needles, and they will dissipate after a period of time. If you don't take me, who will replenish the disguise technique for you then?"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao and Shan Nan exchanged glances.
They never expected that Han Lang's disguise technique would have a time limit.
Thinking about this, Liu Xiaoxiao became troubled.
"Deputy Officer Shan, what do you think now..."
Deputy Officer Shan also replied helplessly,
"What else can we do? We'll go together then."
Han Lang then broke into a smile.
