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

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Changfeng and the others drank three bottles of red wine, and Inukai Ken brought out two more bottles of sake.

Shiro Ono was already slightly drunk and went to the restroom several times during the night.

In the ship's command center, U.S. agency advisor Yoshimasa Fujita hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Fujita-kun, just say what you want to say."

Kagesa Yoshiaki sat in front of a desk, still holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

He smacked his lips and said.

"General, that Takeuchi-kun was drinking with Inukai Ken and Ono Shiro."

"Is this really good?"

The Army has explicit regulations prohibiting the consumption of alcohol during operations.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor's special envoy didn't take it seriously at all.

Fujita Yoshimasa felt very uncomfortable.

"Fujita-kun, don't be too nervous."

"How can you make a mistake if you don't drink?"

"This time our ship will sail to international waters, and the round trip will take at least half a month."

"You'll get used to this kind of thing..."

As Yingzuo Zhenzhao spoke, he took out an empty cup.

He poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Fujita Yoshimasa.

"Thank you, General."

Fujita Yoshimasa licked his lips, then picked up the cup and took two big gulps, instantly feeling refreshed.

Kageyama Yoshiaki waved his hand.

"Alright, it's almost time."

"Put away the deciphered content and compare the results."

"Notify Kenjiro Inukai to prepare for the interrogation of Vronkiel."

Upon hearing Kagesa Yoshiaki's words, Fujita Yoshimasa immediately perked up and went outside.

........

In the ship's conference room, Gu Xiaomeng was the first to stand up and hand in her answer.

Then, two cryptography experts from the Special Higher Police also successfully deciphered the coded message.

Finally, the bespectacled man from the 76th Telecommunications Division handed over a note.

The others were either frowning in thought or still writing down numbers with pencils, calculating the final result.

Fujita Yoshimasa glanced at his watch and immediately frowned.

"There are fifteen minutes left. The rest of you, hurry up!"

"Those who have already submitted their answers, please rest on the right."

As they spoke, Gu Xiaomeng and the others were led to a rest area.

Fujita Yoshimasa's meaning was clear: this was to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

Ten minutes later, two more people stood up and handed in their answers.

Finally, the two looked at each other, their foreheads already soaked with sweat.

"I...I've deciphered it!"

Five minutes later, the last person stood up and handed in their calculation results.

He had just sat down next to Gu Xiaomeng and glanced at the telegram, already guessing its general contents.

However, the middle-aged man in a long robe opposite him was in a terrible predicament.

As the time drew to a close, they were still unable to decipher the coded message.

"Time's up—"

"Throw this Mr. Shen into the sea and feed the fish!"

Seeing the middle-aged man trembling all over, he still couldn't give any answers.

The Japanese advisor, Fujita Yoshimasa, turned cold and gave instructions to Inukai Ken and Ono Shiro, who were standing to the side.

Shiro Ono slapped his forehead, immediately stood up, and led two Japanese military policemen toward Mr. Shen.

"Ono-kun, I'm here to help you!"

Li Changfeng stood up and followed Ono Shiro.

Two Japanese soldiers tied Mr. Shen up, and several Japanese spies dragged him away.

Li Changfeng casually slipped a razor blade into the guy's hand.

Then I watched as Shiro Ono led his men out.

Not long after, a scream came from outside...

........

"Colonel, something terrible has happened."

"That guy cut the rope and bit off one of Kusunoki's ears."

"Then he jumped off the deck with Ono-kun in his arms..."

Just when everyone thought that Mr. Shen had been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

A Japanese military policeman ran in, looking utterly dejected.

Li Changfeng pursed his lips, and a system notification sounded in his ear.

[Congratulations, host, for killing Japanese Major Ono Shiro. You have gained thirty years of lifespan and your X-ray vision skill has been extended to five minutes.]

All of this was arranged in advance by Li Changfeng.

Ono Shiro got drunk and was then pulled into the water by Shen Qingshan, where they both perished.

This Shen Qingshan is a true traitor of the 76th Division.

They were sent here to monitor Gu Xiaomeng and the bespectacled cryptography expert.

Getting rid of him, and incidentally eliminating Ono Shiro, would be a good choice.

"Baka! Wasn't a body search already conducted?"

"How could he cut the rope and take Ono-kun down with him!"

Japanese advisor Fujita Yoshimasa could hardly believe his ears.

This happened in full view of everyone.

"Fujita-kun, please calm down. Ono-kun may have been drunk, which is why he was caught off guard and lost his life."

"However, everyone on the ship was personally searched by him and me; it was his incompetence that made him the problem."

"You can't even handle such a small matter properly. You're a disgrace to Fujita-kun."

Ken Inukai stood up and said with a cold laugh.

Fujita Yoshimasa and Ono Shiro are in cahoots; he's disliked them for a long time.

It's truly gratifying to see this guy killed now.

"Please accept my condolences, Fujita-kun. Let's continue with Project Zero."

"As for the military police, I suggest that Vice Captain Waseda take over from Ono and continue to maintain order."

Li Changfeng also stood up and bowed slightly.

Upon hearing their words, Fujita Yoshimasa felt a burning pain on his face.

However, he took a deep breath and nodded.

“Alright, I agree with Your Excellency.”

"It's getting late, let's announce the results, and then please go to the back for your meal."

As he spoke, Yoshimasa Fujita took out seven slips of paper for comparison.

The deciphered answers were surprisingly consistent, and then I checked the time.

He nodded to the cryptography experts.

"The content you deciphered is correct, and it is almost identical to the results from the Secret Code Department."

"Based on the time it took to decipher the code, expert number 76, Gu Xiaomeng, came out on top."

"Shota Saita and Jiro Hashimoto ranked second."

"Li Zhongliang and Fang Xiaojing ranked third."

"The last one is Yang Zexian from the intelligence department, who barely passed."

"It has been proven that you are all capable cryptography experts."

Yoshimasa Fujita ranked the seven students based on their scores.

Then cough lightly twice.

"Ahem, according to the rules, each person will be awarded 50,000 yen."

"You will be invited to join the Mei Agency Special Training Department to become intelligence experts for the Empire."

"And he owns a residence in Hongkou District, with a dedicated maid."

Fujita Yoshimasa looked at everyone and said very seriously.

Applause immediately erupted from the crowd.

The seven people were taken by the Mei Agency's action team leader to the restaurant next door to have a meal.

Li Changfeng followed behind Gu Xiaomeng, and the two sat at the same table.

"Miss, may I sit here?"

Gu Xiaomeng looked at Li Changfeng, who was dressed in a suit and had a small mustache, and immediately curled her lips.

"Your Excellency, haven't you already sat down?"

"Even Mr. Fujita has great respect for you."

"How could I, a mere woman, dare to refuse..."

She had long realized that this special envoy was no ordinary person.

It's such a waste of his talents to just work as a translator on a ship.

However, she didn't have a good impression of the Japanese.
