Reborn in Tokyo: From the Start, Sacrificing Yasukuni Shrine

Wang Che, codenamed "Zhulong," dies during a mission in Tokyo Bay, only to wake up reborn as a rising Japanese Cabinet spy.

On the surface, he pledges loyalty to the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office. In secret, he activates the highest-level infiltration mission, "Project Guixu."

With a cherry-blossom blade in his left hand, he makes a show of preparing to disembowel himself. In his right, a Han sword points straight at Yasukuni Shrine.

Japanese politicians die one after another, secrets of the Mitsui conglomerate are leaked, and a US military base is rocked by a sudden explosion.

Masako Kiyota, the Cabinet's chief investigator, presses a dagger to his throat and whispers, "Who are you, really?"

Wang Che smiles as he wipes the blood from the blade. "A Chinese man who's going to set Japan back another thirty years."

He opens the dossier. The first page reads: National Security Bureau Division Seven's "Zero Agent" has been activated.
