My name is Du Zhaolin. I’m a deadbeat who hauls cargo at a dock in the foreign concession. With war raging all around, I just want to scrape by and wait for death. Then one day, I touched a Japanese agent’s confidential report, and the next second, I had copied his fluent Japanese and lock-picking skills!
At first, I thought these abilities would only let me pick up a few tricks and earn enough to eat. But when I ran into a woman codenamed “Mayfly” in the ruins and saw the encrypted radio in her hands, it hit me: I hadn’t copied just a skill. I might have copied intelligence capable of changing the entire course of the war.
Lao Chenfan of the Juntong has set his sights on me, and the Japanese military police are hunting for me everywhere. This deadbeat has been swept into the heart of the spy war.
Copy skills, steal the enemy’s secrets. This time, I don’t just want to turn my life around. I want to flip the entire board!
