Spy Wars: Codename Impermanence, A Buddha Among Demons

He was the Military Statistics Bureau’s ace agent, a rising star in the National Salvation Association, an elite of the Comrades’ Association, a prized operative of the Lixing Society, and the Bureau’s trump card in Shanghai. In the eyes of the Japanese and their puppet regime, he was an all-powerful mediator. Japanese intelligence in China adored him as a diplomatic “big shot,” while American, British, and French intelligence agencies all considered him a “walking encyclopedia.” He was fluent in English and Japanese, skilled with firearms, and an expert in hand-to-hand combat and grappling. He was also a senior member of the Green Gang, from the “Tong” generation. Not only was he acquainted with the Three Tycoons, but within the Green Gang, he was nominally the “junior uncle” of the Chairman himself. Before his burning patriotism could be put to use, he died during an operation. A middle-aged loser from a later generation inherited his body and began a life of espionage in Shanghai. With his golden finger, the “Violet Eyes,” he forged a fearsome reputation under the codename “Wuchang”! This is an espionage novel, not a mindless power fantasy, and the plot progresses at a relatively slow pace. The protagonist, whose soul has crossed over from the future, is an ordinary man from the lowest rung of modern society, with no particular loyalties. All he cares about is staying alive. Readers who mind this are welcome to move on to something else.
