I'm a night stalker, an experienced informant.

I was born in Ju Cheng in the Malay Peninsula to a merchant family.

After graduating from Jucheng No. 4 High School, I volunteered to apply for the Longtan Military Academy in Singapore, the capital of the Straits Settlements.

At first, I wanted to become a naval commander, but it turned out to be very embarrassing, my score was slightly missing and I did not meet the admission standards of the naval department.

Just when I thought I didn't have a chance to join the military and was about to follow my family's instructions to enter a commercial school, I saw an ad for the NSA on the street that said the NSA was recruiting commission trainees.

My score was just enough for the NSA, so I simply signed up for the program. So, I entered the Longtan Military Academy as a member trainee of the National Security Bureau and became a reserve intelligence agent.

When I was 19 years old, I graduated.

According to the relevant contract signed at the time of enrollment, I automatically joined the NSA and will work for it for at least 15 years.

In the 27th year, a junior brother from Chang'an became my chief and took me to Limen City in the Northern Province.

To be honest, this young junior didn't actually get very good grades in school. I originally thought that the reason why he was able to get a rocket-like promotion was probably more or less related to the identity of [DATA EXPUNGED].

"You may call me Wuhua, gentlemen." At the first meeting, he said to us very politely.

This young man, who always used honorifics and bowed slightly when speaking to us, was soon recognized by us for his excellent professional skills and impeccable aristocratic manners. It's been a pleasure to work with him, and he's always able to sort out everything that needs to be done at a breakneck pace and post tasks according to our respective levels.

Working under him, we never had to worry about our boss doing something stupid in the heat of our heads, nor did we have to fear that we would be assigned a ridiculous task that we couldn't accomplish. Well... How to put it, we work like the cogs in a machine with a regular and efficient work, with almost no accidents.

Last month, I got a promotion with mixed feelings.

"Mr. Lu Wang, your excellent performance during your work in Limen City has made the Northern Provincial Security Branch very satisfied. In recognition of your outstanding contributions, you will be recommended to the Governorate of China as the second Director of the Sub-Bureau. ”

I nodded, obediently signed the notice, and pressed my handprint.

So Wuhua and other colleagues held a farewell reception for me.

"The Chinese Viceroyalty is a good place." At the reception, Wuhua said to me with a smile.

I always felt that there was something else in his smile, so I tentatively raised a glass to him: "For example? ”

"Like an old man." He and I clinked glasses, and instead of drinking, he held the glass high and watched the wine swaying through the crystal lamp above his head.

The gentle light sprinkled down, reflecting the sparkle of waves after passing through the wine, covering Wuhua's face with a flowing look.

"There are plenty of opportunities."

He smiled at me one last and said something nonchalantly.

————————————————

"Comrade Night Stalker, Comrade Major would like to see you."

The secretary's words interrupted my recollection. I snapped my eyes open and found that the secretary was looking at me with some surprise, presumably surprised that I had fallen asleep in the office.

I lifted up with a frown, grabbed the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Well, the coffee was cold like I was five years ago when I found myself missing out on my first date with a girl — hot coffee was delicious, iced coffee was delicious, and cold coffee was the most disgusting drink in the world.

Still, the horrible smell completely awakened my slightly confused spirit.

"Take this chair off." I pointed to the leather chair behind me and said to the secretary, "Change to a bench without a backrest, this thing is too easy to sleep." ”

The secretary nodded, quickly helped me get dressed, and then pushed the leather chair away, and I left with the folder handed by the secretary, and walked towards the Japanese Dispatch Army Headquarters.

His Excellency The Deputy Commander of the Dispatch Force is based in a small two-story building with a cement and concrete structure designed by our engineers. It's a nice little building, with a modified European-style exterior that stands out from the crowd of all the concrete-clad buildings in the neighborhood.

The guards in front of the building checked my papers, saluted, and barricaded me in.

When the dispatch army was still consolidating on Jeju Island, I got a list of all the officers of the army.

At that time, I knew who Wuhua was referring to by "old people".

However, I was very interested to see the strange expression on the face of Mr. Deputy Commander when he learned who the "night owl" in charge of the entire Japanese intelligence affairs was.

Well, that must be interesting.

Walking to the office of His Excellency the Deputy Commander, I knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

“......”

“......”

"Fuck me!"

I was glad to see that the Major, who had always shown the demeanor of an officer of the Republican Defence Forces, had a great change of expression and let out a very inelegant cry.

"Hello, Comrade Li Ruchu, we meet again." I took off my hat and nodded, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, and the major is becoming more and more handsome." ”

The major in front of him stood up with a twitch in his face and muttered in a low voice, "Why are you?" you're a night owl? ”

The smile on my face became brighter: "You know, those of us who do intelligence work always have to change some code names frequently. If a code name is used for a lifetime, then it is estimated that there will be a few years of life in this life. ”

Night Stalker... Or in other words, Asaami, was looking at me with a smile, looking at me, the "righteous and courageous officer" who was carried from the third floor to the first floor of the broken anchor bar by him a month ago.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Asami." I set my mind and asked him to sit down.

"Is the Void Fortress done?" I asked.

After getting to the point, the shallow sea... Let's call him a night stalker. He put away the smile on his face and replied with a stern face: "It has been completed, the relevant insiders have been taken away, and there is still a battalion of Japanese vassals left there to be used as bait." ”

I nodded, stroked my chin with my right hand, and looked at him, "How many people know?" ”

"Very few, all comrades who are qualified to know about our plan are in charge of directing this matter, and the others at most feel that this is a normal transfer, after all, we will carry out a disguised troop increase."

"What about Yamamoto United? How are they training? ”

"It's okay, they've trained a lot harder than our lads, and they're doing well with their obedience." The night owl smiled at my gaze, his right hand tapping lightly on the tabletop, making a soft "clucking" sound.

"Comrade Major, I remember that you also have the identity of the intelligence system, right?" He asked, but between the words was a declarative tone.

I nodded slowly, not knowing what he meant by the sudden mention of the matter: "You know. After the Limen affair was over, Wuhua helped me get the status of a lieutenant in the National Security Bureau. ”

"This is my reward, Comrade Asami." I emphasized his code name at that time, and then added, "I don't want to get involved in the Nanyang terrorist organization anymore now, not at all." ”

The night stalker couldn't help but laugh, and then said to me, "Comrade Lieutenant, you're too worried. He leaned forward, rested his elbows on the table, crossed his hands and dragged his chin and said, "I am Major in Intelligence, Comrade Lieutenant." ”

I looked at him and saluted somewhat helplessly: "Hello, Comrade Major. ”

He couldn't help but laugh again, pointed at me and said, "It's kind of interesting now." I am a major in intelligence, but I do not have the rank of Wehrmacht; You're an intelligence lieutenant, but you're a naval lieutenant in the Wehrmacht, so we're each other's commanders. ”

"You better call me a night stalker, don't say anything, sir." He held back a smile, "I also call you Major, not Lieutenant." ”

I nodded and continued to listen to him. However, his interruption has eased the strange atmosphere just now a lot.

"The Chinese Governor's District only formed a branch of the National Security Bureau last fall, and I am the second director." He said seriously.

"I hope to recruit you into the sub-bureau as the deputy director."

I looked at him with some surprise and pointed to my nose: "Why me?" I don't have the skills to be an agent, I don't even know how to collect fingerprints. ”

He shrugged, "That's a trick in detective fiction, Mr. Major, and I won't either." ”

"Being an agent doesn't have so many strange skills, Comrade Li Ruchu." He said to me with some bitterness, "You have shown such excellent reasoning and reconnaissance skills in Limen, and you are completely a seedling with the potential to grow into a towering tree, and you are about to participate in related work to accumulate experience." ”

"But why me?" I'm still very resistant, "You have so many talents in the National Security Bureau, aren't they all better than me if you find any people?" ”

"It's 'our NSA.'" He emphasized it, and then continued to persuade: "Comrade Li Ruchu, as a soldier of the Republic and a comprehensive talent who spans the navy, army, and intelligence system, I think you must take responsibility!" ”

"Go where the Motherland needs it most! Go where the people need it most! He stood up, looked down at me condescendingly, and his tone became a little stern, "The soldiers of the republic are bricks, where they need to be moved!" Remember the oath you took when you enlisted! ”

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became hot, and I had to stand up and reply loudly, "Yes, I naturally remember." ”

The night owl's face softened: "Very good. Comrade Li Ruchu, in my capacity as the director of the State Security Bureau of the Governor-General of China, I appoint you as the deputy director. The formalities will be completed within today and the letter of appointment will be handed over to you. ”

"Mind you, it's resignation." He repeated, "Not asking for opinions. ”

I smiled wryly.

Note: Later, I learned that the previous sub-bureau chief had embezzled and accepted bribes, and he fled to Ming before the Commission for Discipline Inspection caught him. The people involved in the case were caught, killed, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, in short, the middle and high-level of the Chinese branch were wiped out, and a large number of cadre positions were created in the entire intelligence system.
