The Double Agent of Lungmen

Chapter 1: Damn it, Ch'en Sir!

"I swear it wasn't me, leader! It wasn't me!"

Inside the hideout of the Reunion Movement, a member was wailing in distress.

Talulah held a set of documents in her hand and calmly said, "You joined Reunion from the very beginning, fought for our compatriots eighteen times, suffered severe injuries three times, and were on the verge of death once. If it weren't for these reports in my hands, I wouldn't have believed that you were actually a senior intelligence officer of the Ursus Empire's Intelligence Bureau."

Upon hearing these words, the person strapped to the chair turned pale, but he continued to desperately plead, "I... I have nothing to do with the affairs in Lungmen!"

A flame ignited in Talulah's hand as she shook her head and said, "Your previous contributions will not be forgotten, but now it's time for you to be on your way."

The member raised his hand, panic-stricken, as he desperately pleaded, "Leader! I have made significant contributions to the organization! I have shed blood for the cause!"

"And you have in turn made your comrades shed blood for you," the flames drew closer.

"You bastard!!" At the final moments of his life, the senior intelligence officer, having given up on begging, said, "Who's the bastard behind this?! I won't..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already turned into a pile of ash.

Talulah looked at the members in the meeting room and said, "Reunion harbours hidden traitors within its ranks. Our operations have been repeatedly disrupted due to attacks on several of our hideouts. Before we proceed with our next plan, we need to uncover these rats!"

"Yes!"

..............

On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Chernobog.

Xiu Xian pushed open the door to the top floor and saw a girl standing by the railing, wearing a hood.

He walked over and leaned against the railing, avoiding eye contact with the girl but speaking nonetheless, "The Reunion Movement is temporarily suspending their operations."

"I knew already," the girl replied.

"You knew?" Upon hearing those words, Xiu Xian's previously calm tone faded, and he abruptly turned to look at the girl, saying, "You knew, and yet you sent me to this place! For what! This is Chernobog, not Lungmen, Ch'en sir! Are you deliberately trying to screw me over?"

Indeed, this girl was none other than a superintendent of the Lungmen Guard Department.

"I came here to handle some matters and also to meet you," Ch'en didn't remove her hood, instead she looked at Xiu Xian and said, "And by the way, I am your superior officer, so show some respect when you speak."

"*Lungmen swearing*" Xiu Xian didn't mince his words, "You sent me to this place and still expect me to be respectful? It's already good enough that I didn't betray you."

Xiu Xian, a bewildered person who had been inexplicably isekaid to this world... It had been two years since he arrived.

He might have heard a voice at that time, or maybe he didn't, but regardless, when he appeared, he was already at the LGD Academy as a student.

What surprised Xiu Xian the most was that his body, appearance, and name were all his own, and as a traveler, he unexpectedly had a genuine identity in this world, albeit as an orphan.

It took him a while to adapt to life here, and then he began to look for records of his past, luckily as a student of the LGD.

During a sneak visit to the archives room, while browsing through the files, he was caught in the act by Ch'en.

Later, when he was about to graduate, Ch'en found him and used his files as leverage, making him work undercover for the Reunion Movement in exchange for information about his past.

"Xiufeifan." Ch'en simply looked at Xiu Xian, "We always have to pay some price for what we want. Your file is in my hands, and within the whole Lungmen, I am the only one who knows your true identity. So, I advise you to show at least some respect to your superior. What you want can only be given by me. Take this."

As she spoke, Ch'en handed over a document folder.

Xiu Xian reached out and took it, opening it while grumbling, "My name is Xiu Xian, not Xiufeifan! It's fine if others call me that, but could you please stop mentioning that name? I hated it from the beginning."

"It's not easy to establish a fake identity, it's just a name anyways. Why do you have so many complaints?" Ch'en retorted.

Xiu Xian shrugged and, upon opening the folder, he discovered a yellow disc inside, "A combat recording?"

"Consider it your birthday gift," Ch'en said.

Xiu Xian's pupils dilated slightly, "Hey, Ch'en, thanks for remembering my birthday. But who the hell gives combat recordings as a birthday gift?"

"At least it's something," Ch'en said, "Your previous intel was good. We destroyed several strongholds of the Reunion. I never expected that they had infiltrated so deep into Lungmen."

Xiu Xian's eyes lit up, "Does that mean I can go back now?"

"Not so soon," Ch'en said, "You still have several tasks ahead. I've heard that the Reunion is planning something big. Look into it. And remember to destroy the combat records after watching."

"I knew there wouldn't be anything good when you showed up," Xiu Xian put away the combat recording, muttering to himself, "Remember, you promised to take me back after three months."

"Don't worry," Ch'en said as she was about to leave.

But Xiu Xian suddenly stopped her with a shout, "Ch'en."

"Hmm?"

Xiu Xian paused for a moment, then asked, "Don't you need any help with...your condition? It's still a secret, right?"

Ch'en hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will handle it myself."

"If you need any help, remember to find me."

"Alright."

Ch'en finished speaking and was about to leave, but Xiu Xian called out to her again.

This time, instead of speaking directly, Xiu Xian stared at Ch'en.

"Why are you staring at me?" Ch'en frowned, "Don't forget your job. Perhaps I'll find you in three days."

Xiu Xian shrugged, "Fine fine, it's impossible to have a normal conversation with you. Is this mission really that important?"

"Yes." Ch'en finished speaking and quickly walked away.

Watching Ch'en's departing figure, Xiu Xian sighed with a wry smile. He opened the combat recording and said helplessly, "If only it was so easy to get such good intelligence..."

The info he had provided to Lungmen was not actually obtained by himself, but rather derived from what he remembered from the game, he simply reminded them of a few places. He had hoped that this information would get him back to Lungmen, but it ended up assuring Ch'en of his usefulness as a spy.

Nevertheless, Ch'en personally giving him a birthday gift... this might not be so bad after all. Dismissing the random thoughts in his mind, Xiu Xian looked at the combat footage, only to find that instead of a cute operator, it was a yellow spiky... bug thing. an infused originium slug!

His fleeting appreciation for his superior vanished in an instant, and Xiu Xian spoke with gritted teeth, "Damn you, Ch'en!!"
