Chen Mo feels as if he has had a very long dream.
In it, someone speaks beside his ear, saying things like “spacetime anchor locked” and “soul compatibility: ninety-seven percent.” A cold mechanical voice chimes in at the same time every day: “Daily intelligence refreshed.”
He thinks he's dreaming, so he goes back to sleep.
When he wakes, he finds himself an unemployed young man in 1931 Shanghai, and activates a System. On his first day, he receives crucial intelligence: a Japanese secret gathering is taking place at Hongkou Park today. He witnesses a military intelligence agent's attempt to assassinate a traitor and accidentally saves Zheng Yaoxian's life.
Chen Mo soon discovers that this isn't just the world of The Kite, but also The Disguiser, The Lurking, The Cliff, The Rebel, Deep Dive, and When the Stars Shine.
Now that he's in this world, how could he not throw himself into the maelstrom and see the splendor of Shanghai's ten-mile foreign concession?
Sixth Brother, I like to watch spy games the most.
