The Secret Chessboard: Undercover in No. 76

A modern researcher of history unexpectedly travels to the isolated island of Shanghai during the War of Resistance, and as soon as he opens his eyes, he is plunged into the endless factional strife between the Military Statistics Bureau and the Central Statistics Bureau. To survive in this chaotic world and to protect his countrymen, he seizes the opportunity to enter the game himself and infiltrates the notorious No. 76 Secret Service Headquarters. Inside the devil's den, wolves surround him; Wang Jingwei's puppet agents intrigue against each other, and the Japanese from the Special Higher Police scrutinize his every step. Every interrogation and screening is a life-or-death test. Relying on his later historical knowledge and ability to foresee the course of history, he plays the role of a ruthless and opportunistic traitor agent, maneuvering among the cracks of multiple forces. He tries to lay plans in advance to avert the tragedies recorded in historical sources and to save countless people on the verge of sacrifice. But he soon discovers that history is not an unchanging script; every intervention he makes triggers a butterfly effect, spawning new crises. The massive war machine rolls on, and individual will is insignificant before the tide of the times. Deep in the enemy camp and bearing the stigma of a traitor, he transmits intelligence on the edge of a knife while struggling to ponder: with the trump card of foresight, how much of the predetermined fate can he rewrite in this grand chess game? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Secret Chessboard: Undercover in No. 76 — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
