Living in the Republic of China era, from undercover agent to immortality

(This is a spy thriller, meant for your imagination; don't worry about the details...)

Friendly reminder: This story is set in a fictional world; please do not associate it with historical figures.

September, 1938, Shanghai.

Inside a villa in Hongkou District.

Li Changfeng stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Miss Naiko, you don't want Takeda-kun to know about our affair, do you?"

Upon hearing Li Changfeng's reminder, Kitada Naoko smiled slightly, tiptoed, and left a sweet kiss on his face.

"Don't worry, Nagamine-kun, Naiko won't tell anyone."

"When Takeda-kun is not around, I will hang a red ribbon on the window."

"Nagamine-kun, please come often..."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for making a sacrifice and developing an informant, Kitada Naoko. The strongest intelligence system has awakened.]

[New player gift packs are being distributed...]

[The reward is fluency in Japanese, a copy of Death Note, and 500 RMB.]

[The item reward has been stored in the system space. Please claim it promptly.]

[Friendly Reminder: Rewards are given for eliminating Japanese soldiers and traitors, obtaining intelligence, and discovering informants.]

[Rewards include money, lifespan, items, and special skills!]

Li Changfeng paused, and an electronic voice appeared in his mind.

A flood of information rushed into my mind, accompanied by the appearance of a hazy space containing several new items.

A black notebook, and a pile of silver dollars wrapped in red plastic.

In his previous life, Li Changfeng was a model young man in the 21st century who occasionally enjoyed watching spy dramas.

Unexpectedly, he was electrocuted and died while staying up all night watching a TV series. He has been transported to Shanghai for three months now.

Besides being the deputy head of the General Affairs Section of No. 76, he was also an undercover agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, codenamed Stinger.

I thought that after transmigrating, I would remain unknown until one day my identity was exposed and I would sacrifice myself on the nameless front.

Unexpectedly, this encounter with Kitada Naoko awakened his system and rewarded him with a bunch of good things.

Fluent in Japanese, Death Note!

Both of these awards made Li Changfeng very excited.

Originally, I was only mediocre at Japanese, but with the help of the system, I instantly mastered it.

As for the Death Note, it's a deadly weapon that can kill without leaving a trace.

Simply write someone's name and manner of death on it, and that person will die silently.

........

I hailed a rickshaw and returned from Hongkou District to the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters on Jisifeier Road.

"Section Chief Li, there is a letter for you."

"It seems to have been sent from my hometown."

As soon as I reached the main entrance, Grandpa Hu from the mailroom took out a letter and handed it out through the window.

He looked at Li Changfeng with a smile and complimented him.

Li Changfeng took the letter, glanced at it, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

The letter was sent from my hometown in Shanxi and was signed Huang Cuicui.

This Huang Cuicui is the wife of this body.

The original owner shared the same name as himself and had been transporting a batch of supplies for the action team three months prior, when the supplies were intercepted en route.

All six junior agents from the operations department who were with him were killed, and the original owner of this body was also shot.

He died after returning home, and that's how Li Changfeng transmigrated to this world.

"Thanks, Uncle Hu."

Li Changfeng thanked him, then opened the envelope, glanced at it, and headed towards the general affairs office on the first floor.

The envelope said that life back home was hard and they had been without food for half a month.

Huang Cuicui is preparing to come to Shanghai to seek refuge with Li Changfeng.

The original owner was taken away by a warlord on his wedding night and later ended up in Shanghai, where he joined the Lixingshe (a secret society).

He had almost forgotten that he had a newlywed wife at home until he received a reply from his hometown and learned about this matter.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Li Changfeng felt a headache coming on.

I can't refuse her, so I can only take it one step at a time.

After putting the letter away, Li Changfeng went into the General Affairs Department office.

I poured myself a cup of tea and plopped down in a chair.

Just as I was getting familiar with today's work, I heard a sudden screech of brakes outside.

Then another series of footsteps sounded.

All that could be heard was someone shouting outside:

"Quickly, take the prisoner in for interrogation!"

"Keep the news under wraps; no one can know."

Looking out the window, Li Changfeng saw that the person who was calling out was Wang Manchun, the head of the No. 76 intelligence department.

A dozen secret agents were escorting a prisoner wearing a black hood off a large truck.

"Squeak!"

Just as Li Changfeng was about to observe carefully through the window, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Operations Director Liang Zhongchun walked in leaning on his cane, and pursed his lips as he looked at the view outside the window.

"Deputy Section Chief Li."

"I heard that Director Wang has taken down a Kuomintang liaison point; this is another meritorious deed."

"This woman is definitely traitor material."

Liang Zhongchun sat down directly in Li Changfeng's office and spoke very familiarly.

After Bai Danian, the head of the General Affairs Department, was assassinated by the Hurricane Team, he became very close to Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng has taken over many tasks in the General Affairs Department, which has made things much easier for Liang Zhongchun.

Of course, Li Changfeng did this partly to obtain intelligence.

Another reason is that the original owner was a staunch supporter of Liang Zhongchun and had many interests involved with him.

"Director Liang is very well-informed."

"However, arresting people is a matter for the operations department."

"Director Wang handled it all by himself, which was rather unethical of him."

Li Changfeng paused for a moment, then closed the door, poured Liang Zhongchun a cup of tea, and said with a smile.

Everyone in No. 76 knew about the relationship between Liang Zhongchun and Wang Manchun; the two were practically irreconcilable enemies.

Li Moqun also tacitly approved of the internal struggles within No. 76, as this made it easier to maintain control.

Li Changfeng's words struck a chord with Liang Zhongchun.

"Hmph, I heard that this bitch has developed an inside contact."

"Relying on their relationship with Section Chief Nantian, they completely disregard our operations department."

"I'll kill her sooner or later..."

Upon hearing Li Changfeng's words, Liang Zhongchun lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Then he said fiercely.

Upon hearing the word "insider," Li Changfeng knew that there must be a traitor in the Shanghai intelligence station.

It seems I'm in a bad situation. I need to find out some information about the person who was arrested.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Li Changfeng's mind was racing, there was a knock on the office door.

The door opened, and an intelligence agent outside smiled slightly.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, this is our operating expense. Please reimburse us."

The spy's name was Liu Asan, and he was a squad leader under Wang Manchun.

This Liu Asan was Li Changfeng's informant in the intelligence department, and he often provided him with important information.

The reason is that Li Changfeng helped Liu Asan when his mother was seriously ill.

The original owner was able to infiltrate No. 76 thanks to the information provided by Liu Asan.

"Oh, it's Indians. There's a commotion downstairs. I heard the intelligence department made a fortune again?"

Li Changfeng walked to his desk, took the invoice from Liu Asan, and joked.

Liu Asan smiled and, seeing that the head of the action department, Liang Zhongchun, was also there, wisely refrained from making a sound.

Liang Zhongchun was a seasoned veteran; he didn't say anything when he saw Liu Asan.

He snorted coldly, slammed the door shut, and left angrily.

Liu Asan listened intently at the door until the footsteps faded into the distance before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

“Deputy Section Chief Li, to be honest, Director Wang led us to destroy a liaison point of the Military Intelligence Bureau.”

"Catch three, kill two."

"But there's a big fish in there, I heard his name is Qin Han, he's a liaison for the intelligence station."

"Director Wang is leading the interrogation team..."

Li Changfeng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Liu Asan's words.

This Qin Han was none other than his superior, whom he contacted directly, codenamed Polar Bear.
