Intro

You came to save me!

No, I came to hunt down the mole.

Fuck.... A colleague, already covered in splatters of blood, plunges a blade—likely a Fairbairn-Sykes—into my abdomen. My body loses all strength and leans forward helplessly, my knees slamming hard against the cold concrete. It hurts like hell and feels incredibly miserable. I spent my whole life switching my persona ninety-nine times for the country and its people, begging the Jade Emperor that it wasn't my time to go yet. In the end, my breath was torn to shreds by the hands of the colleague I trusted most. Ah, shit... If I'm going to go, I should have at least spat out a curse out loud. This is so unfair. Ah, I really am dying right now.......

Hell is damn bright, seriously.

That was the only thought I had when I finally regained consciousness. It's not like I died with my eyes open, but a strong light kept tapping at my eyelids. I opened my eyes with a lament that my luck was terrible even in death, but something was strange. Isn't hell supposed to have a scary and eerie atmosphere? Why... does it look exactly like the lodging on the outskirts of Shanghai where I stayed for the operation? My body, which had been brutally beaten after getting caught by the Public Security, and my perforated abdomen are all perfectly fine, which is confusing as hell. Pain isn't something you can hide even if you want to, so why? For what reason.... No way, fuck.

I pick up the phone that was scheduled for disposal after the mission—even though it's only been two weeks since I activated it—and tap the screen. The date March 13th and the time approaching 7:00 AM are clearly displayed. Aha, so...

I've regressed. To the morning of the first day of Operation Black Swan. I have about five days until I die, and three days until I'm kidnapped. Within this time, I have to either quit being a HUMINT and run away, or deal with the bastard who framed me as a mole first. Yeah, before I waste this life I've been given again. I'm going to spit out a proper curse and start my reformation. No, before that! There are four agents selected for Black Swan, including me. But, I can't remember which bastard killed me. Fuuuuuck....
