Lin Mo opened his eyes and became Lin Yan, a small secretary of the Nanjing Renaissance Society in 1936.
As a time traveler, he has two secrets:
1. He can see the labels above everyone's head - name, identity, loyalty, recent keywords.
2. He knows every historical turning point in the next thirteen years.
From Nanjing to Shanghai, from the isolated island to the fall of Japan, he walked in the abyss wearing five masks:
The "surprise soldier" of the Fuxing Society, the "carrier pigeon" of Japan's Special High School, the "supervisor" of Wang Puppet No. 76, The top secret "Deep Throat" of our party, and the "lens" of the American OSS.
Dai Li said he was the sharpest knife, Yamamoto Ichiro regarded him as a confidant, Matsushima Yoshiko wanted to take him under his command, and Zhou Gong left an eight-character comment in the top-secret file: "I can entrust you with a heavy responsibility, and wait for the time."
He could not change the blood in Songhu, the pain in Nanjing, or the stormy waves in the Pacific.
But he can put a soft piece of cloth under the gears of history——
Let the people who deserve to die die "accidentally", let the people who deserve to live have a chance to survive, and let the fire of civilization continue quietly in the ruins.
1936-1949, This was a one-man war.
He is the watchmaker of history, calibrating the scale of the times in a silent place.
