The violent storm a year ago, if it was for ordinary people, there was no big urgency, and they would definitely not want to go out.

Especially after midnight, the feeling of being dark and cold is by no means bearable to ordinary people.

Even I, an elite specially trained agent, felt uncomfortable, let alone an ordinary person.

So when I came to a wharf by the Huangpu River in a raincoat and in the pouring rain, as I expected, there was no one around, except for the sound of rapid raindrops, the sound of the wind whistling by, and the occasional harsh and dull thunder.

However, with a keen instinct by nature, I still smelled a hint of crisis from this seemingly calm dock.

"I've already checked three docks, so I guess this is it, right?"

When I felt my whole body tense up inexplicably, I muttered softly.

Whenever I suddenly face danger, my whole body involuntarily tenses, which is an instinct to detect crises in advance.

It is this inexplicable instinct that has helped me resolve many crises during the years I have been a special agent in high-risk industries.

Although the phenomena that manifested themselves before the outbreak of those crises were ordinary and hidden, I still perceived them in advance.

So over the years, I trusted and relied on this instinct and intuition, and never doubted it.

And the reason why I walked around the docks alone in the middle of the night in such a bad climate, checked the three docks despite the feeling that my whole body was almost soaked, and came to this fourth pier is also very simple, that is, to save someone.

To be exact, I didn't know who the person I was about to save was, only that she was a woman, but I still came without hesitation.

Even though I knew that my rash move to rescue her today would not only be dangerous, but might also cause me to reveal my identity as an agent of the military command in front of the Japanese, I still rushed here without hesitation.

Because the person I came to save this time was the nine-tailed fox woman who was loved and respected by the people.

I overheard a message from the Military Intelligence Department that the Japanese had set up an ambush at a pier by the river, intending to lure the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman, who had a great sense of justice, to show up and get rid of her.

Although the Military Intelligence Section received the news in advance through special channels, after consulting Chongqing, it was ordered by its superiors to block the news and stressed that it was not allowed to rescue it.

The reason for this is that the military commanders have assassinated anti-Japanese patriotic generals several times, as well as influential anti-Japanese patriots, and the mission of influential anti-Japanese patriots has been sabotaged by the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman, and the reason why the military commanders assassinated these national heroes is very simple, that is, they are all close to the Communist Party in private.

However, the Kuomintang has never really intended to join hands with the Communist Party to resist Japan, and has always regarded the Communist Party as a stumbling block to the future domination of the world, so on the surface it pretends to be willing to cooperate with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to resist Japan, and secretly never stops assassinating the Communist Party.

The behavior of the nine-tailed fox woman naturally angered the top of the military command, and since then she has been regarded as a pro-communist element, so although she knows that she is about to fall into the trap of the Japanese and face death, she is unwilling to come to the rescue.

Since it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening when I learned the news, it was too late to report this emergency to my upper line of the underground party of the Communist Party of China, and to ask the organization whether to rescue the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman through the online consultation.

In addition, the military commander blocked the news, so even though I heard about it by chance, I couldn't inquire about the details in detail, so I didn't know exactly where the Japanese set a trap.

So I had to go alone to rescue the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman, and after checking the map before I went, I picked out the four docks that were most likely to set traps, and then set off, intending to go to the field one by one.

It's just a pity that after spending more than two hours and looking at the first three docks, I found nothing.

Although I was anxious, I had no choice but to rush to the fourth pier again.

Just after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, I finally came to the fourth pier, and as soon as I entered the pier area, my hair stood up involuntarily, and my whole body tensed and uncomfortably, which made me immediately confirm that this pier was the trap set by the Japanese.

Fortunately, at this moment, the clouds were thick, the storm was raging, and the moonlight was extremely weak, although it was not so far that I could not lose sight of my fingers, but the visibility was very low, so I knew that even if there were Japanese people in ambush at the pier in front of me, they would not be able to spot me so quickly for the time being.

So, instinctively, I crouched down, bent over to the back of a tree, and took out a small military binoculars to examine it closely.

After about three minutes, I came to the conclusion that the pier ahead, like the three docks I had viewed earlier, did not have any enemy ambushes in advance, and everything looked normal.

The only difference is that the first three piers didn't make me feel tense, so I'm sure there must be something wrong with this pier, but I can't think of anything wrong for a while.

"Poof!"

Just when I was about to quietly grope to the riverside of the pier to check if there was anything unusual in the water up close, I suddenly heard the sound of a raincoat being punctured in the back of my head, and then I felt a cold and sharp thing in the back of my head, and there was a little stinging, a bit like an extremely sharp knife tip, which was pressing against my cervical vertebrae.

I know that the slightest change in my movement at this moment, and that the person behind me can make me look different at any time.

It stands to reason that with my skills and perception, I wouldn't let others appear behind me so easily, but at this moment, the wind and rain are coming, the thunder is rumbling, and the time is past midnight, I am worried that the nine-tailed fox woman has been ambushed and has an accident, and I am a little anxious, so my attention is on the dock in front, so I ignore the person who suddenly appeared behind me.

However, I quickly calmed down and analyzed the person behind me, and my conclusion was that the other party was the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman nine times out of ten.

Because I knew that with my super anti-tracking ability, the people behind me couldn't have followed me all the way, and they should have been hiding here before I came.

Even if they had already hidden in this tree beside me beforehand, they could suddenly jump down and appear behind me without me noticing.

After all, it's past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the calculation time is also the time when the Nine-Tailed Fox Woman usually haunts, and as far as I know, she has always been elusive, always hiding in high places and then suddenly pounced on her target, and is very good at taking people's heads with sharp knives.

Coupled with my intuition and experience, I was told that there was only one person behind me at the moment, and there was no sign of anyone else approaching me nearby.

So I'm completely sure that the person behind it is the nine-tailed fox alone, not the many Japanese who are ambushed here.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the famous Nine-Tailed Fox Lady in Shanghai, right? I believe that you, who have never killed innocents indiscriminately, won't kill me until you know whether I'm friend or foe, right? ”

After quickly clearing my mind and making a judgment, I asked confidently and softly.

"Although this girl has never killed innocents, the only thing you can do is to give me a reason not to kill you within ten seconds. Ten...... Nine ......"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a woman's indifferent voice behind me.

The countdown number seemed to make it feel like death was approaching.

"Well, I came to this dock tonight to prevent you from entering the trap set up for you by the Japanese, and losing your life in vain. Is that okay?"

I replied generously and cheerfully.

"Three...... Oh, it's kind of interesting, your life is left for the time being, but if you can't prove that there is indeed a Japanese trap here, this girl can't rule out that she will still be executed as a Japanese spy!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox Woman said with some suspicion, and after finishing speaking, she withdrew the knife in her hand.

After feeling the tingling in the back of my head go away, I slowly stood up and turned again, intending to get a closer look at the legendary woman.

However, when I turned around, I found that there was no one behind me!

I instinctively looked up and saw a woman wearing a purple demon fox mask sitting on a fork in the air, staring at me with indifferent eyes.

In this regard, I also secretly admire in my heart, to be able to go up and down a big tree freely on such a rainy night, which is absolutely impossible for people to do.

"Hello, Nine-Tailed Fox, I'll make a long story short. I also received information from the Military Intelligence Bureau a few hours ago that the Japanese had set up a trap on a certain pier with the intention of getting rid of you. But I don't know exactly which pier it is, and what kind of trap it is. ”

I looked up and looked at the nine-tailed fox and said the truth.

"Military Command Intelligence Section? So you are also a member of the Military Command? But, as far as I know, you military commanders should hate me to death, after all, this girl has sabotaged your mission to assassinate patriots many times, so how can you be so kind to save me?

The nine-tailed fox asked with some surprise.

"That's right, I'm a military commander, and my superiors have ordered the news to be blocked, and I have no intention of rescuing you. As for the information I also overheard, it is not complete, and I don't know the exact content. I only came here by choosing the four most likely wharves to set traps based on my experience, and after eliminating them one by one through field investigations. Originally, I didn't know what to do about this pier, but now I'm 100% sure it's this pier. Because my instincts are in danger when I come here, and my instincts are never wrong. Second, I met you again, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong to be able to lure you to the dock, so I believe that this pier is undoubtedly it. Truth be told, I'm here alone, and I just want to help you. Because aside from my status as a military commander, I am also a Chinese with a conscience, and I have no reason to see death and not save a patriot like you, who is deeply loved by the people, who eliminates harm for the people, and actively resists Japan. ”

I explained without any subtlety.
