Anti-Japanese War Espionage: I Have an Omniscient Perspective

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The hands of the pocket watch were pointing exactly at 12.

Lin Rui looked out the window. The street was completely silent. Two police officers patrolling the night with flashlights passed by below.

He checked his equipment.

A dagger and a Mauser C96 pistol.

The Mauser C96, also known as the Box Cannon or the Mauser C96 pistol, is a self-defense weapon issued to undercover agents by the Fuxing Society. It features a 10-round 7.62 Mauser pistol magazine.

The dagger was a souvenir given to him by Zhao Hu, a military training instructor in Qingpu.

He then activated his special ability and began to stealthily move at night.

From a 3D perspective within a 100-meter radius, you can see that most of the guests in each room are already asleep.

To get out from here, you have to go past the hotel reception desk.

The receptionist was a young man with a buzz cut, who was slumped over the counter, dozing off, his head nodding slightly.

Immediately, Lin Rui opened the door and tiptoed forward. When he reached the front desk, he crouched down and walked past.

A moment later, the person had arrived at the stairwell.

During the observation, in the police station on the right, only three remaining officers were chatting idly.

On the street, the two police officers had already passed by, and the dim streetlights were deserted.

He went down the stairs and disappeared into the shadows on the street, heading towards the pharmacy.

Along the way, they did encounter patrolling police officers.

Because he could foresee things in advance using his supernatural abilities, he wasn't discovered by the patrol officers.

And so, without anyone noticing, they sneaked over to the pharmacy.

Lin Rui stopped and used his supernatural abilities to observe carefully in the darkness.

There was a person squatting in the clothing store across from the pharmacy.

There were also people hiding in the alleys on both sides.

This ambush was too insidious. Without superpowers, no one would know where they were hiding, especially the one hiding in the garment room.

But they didn't know that there was another entrance in the alley behind the pharmacy.

Then, Lin Rui went around to the back and climbed over into a courtyard.

This place is actually vacant; no one lives here. In the open space in the courtyard, there are still the bundles that Lin Rui threw in yesterday.

Lin Rui picked up the bundle and placed it among the miscellaneous items in the corner.

Then, they prepared to climb over the other side of the courtyard wall and enter the dead-end alley behind the pharmacy.

Wait, he stopped.

According to my supernatural perception, there was a moving object inside the pharmacy.

A Japanese intelligence agent was crouching in the darkness of a corner of the pharmacy. If he hadn't moved, Lin Rui would have almost overlooked him.

Lin Rui broke out in a cold sweat. Even with his superpowers, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Calming himself down, he considered how to enter the pharmacy without alerting the man hiding in the shadows.

Obviously it is impossible.

After all, how could the noise generated by turning the Buddha statue's mechanism possibly escape the notice of someone a few meters away?

The only solution is to take it down.

Moreover, only cold weapons can be used.

Lin Rui took out the dagger, and Professor Zhao Hu's military assassination techniques came to mind.

This is a killing technique called Qiao Gaiquan, which is based on "quickly defeating the enemy and killing silently".

It is Zhao Hu's unique skill, which is different from traditional martial arts. It is extremely focused on practicality, concealment and lethality. The movements are simple and fierce, without any fancy moves.

The moves are divided into three categories: strangulation, bone breaking, and striking vital points. The movements are simple but extremely powerful.

However, this method of assassination has certain prerequisites.

That is, approaching the other party without their awareness, ambushing them on their likely route, or feigning an approach to suddenly strike.

In this situation, Lin Rui needs to find a way to attract the other party's attention and then take the opportunity to sneak in.

What should I do?

Lin Rui used his three-dimensional vision to observe the back door of the pharmacy. The tiles above the back door were loose and about to collapse.

Have it.

..........

1pm late at night.

After finishing their first round of patrols, the police officers on the street stopped at various intersections and stood chatting.

On the pharmacy side, two plainclothes officers were lying in ambush at the alley entrance, their hands in the pockets of their cotton robes, their eyes scanning the pharmacy with vigilance; across the street, behind the window of a clothing store, a guy was hiding with a rifle, the muzzle pointed at the pharmacy entrance.

There was no one behind the pharmacy.

But hidden inside was a man wielding a short gun.

Lin Rui took a deep breath, climbed over the courtyard wall and landed in the dead end, then tiptoed to the back door.

He took out a thin wire with a hook and gently dropped it onto the tile surface.

Although the force was small, the iron hook still made a slight sound when it landed on the tile surface.

Lin Rui immediately tensed up and used his supernatural ability to observe the activity inside the pharmacy.

The person did not move.

Lin Rui gently pulled the thin line to make sure the hook was caught on the tile.

Then, he carefully inserted a wire into the door crack and lifted the bolt inside.

The door opened.

He slowly pushed the door open, stepped inside, and then bolted it shut.

This series of actions was completed silently, without alerting the people in the room.

Then, Lin Rui walked to a shady corner in the backyard and squatted behind the water tank.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath and pulled the thin thread sharply.

Immediately, the tile fell and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

The people in the room moved.

He picked up his pistol and leaned against the door, waiting nervously.

Then, the two people who were hiding in the alley outside came out and went around to check behind the door.

They searched the house and asked, "Fifth brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. What's the situation outside?"

"The sound of falling tiles hitting the ground, but I didn't see anyone. Maybe it was a stray cat making noise on the roof."

"Really? I'll come out and take a look."

The guy called "Fifth Brother" opened the door and cautiously scanned the yard.

His gaze fell on the water vat in the corner, but he didn't notice Lin Rui hiding behind it.

He then walked to the back, unlocked the door bolt, and went out to check.

Looking at the broken tiles on the ground, he talked with his two companions.

"I thought the Fuxing Society's spies had returned, but it turns out it was just Wildcat's doing."

"Why has the fifth brother become so timid?"

"Here, have a cigarette."

The three men offered cigarettes and lit them.

Just then, Lin Rui seized the opportunity, quietly approached the door along the shadows in the corner of the wall, and slipped inside.

......

ten minutes later,

The man dressed in black entered the house and went straight to the wooden stool by the medicine grinder and sat down.

Judging that no one would come this time, he took out a gun cloth and wiped his pistol, humming a little tune.

Little did he know that someone was watching him from the darkness behind him.

Lin Rui drew his dagger, tiptoed closer, and when he was still a meter away from the man, the man seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up as if to turn around. Lin Rui's eyes flashed, and he suddenly sped up, stepped forward, covered the man's mouth, and precisely pierced the man's collarbone with his dagger, then cut it.

The man struggled in excruciating pain, making muffled whimpering sounds, but Lin Rui held him firmly and he couldn't break free.

After a moment, the man's movements gradually subsided, his arms hung down, and his legs stiffened.

Lin Rui slowly released his grip and dragged the man's body to the corner behind the medicine cabinet.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down to wipe the sweat from his brow.

Although this wasn't his first time killing an enemy, the last time he drove a tank and killed Japanese soldiers from a distance, which felt completely different from now.

After a short rest, he stood up again. Now was not the time to relax. He had to retrieve what Old Zhou had hidden immediately and leave.
