Chapter 171: Sne

~7 min read 1,293 words

【Rifle: Perfect Accuracy】: Your use of rifles will reach a miraculous level, peak perfection; even in the most chaotic environment, you can easily hit the target.

Limited to targets within the master's line of sight.

Seeing this new skill, Chen Yongren wore a satisfied smile.

Finally, another combat-type skill has appeared.

With it, from now on we can carry out long-range assassinations!

In past long-range assassinations, the assassin only had one chance to fire.

But with this skill, as long as the target is within line of sight, the assassination will succeed with 100% certainty!

Even a second shot need not be worried about.

Chen Yongren looked satisfied at the system panel.

The little treasury increased considerably, skills also increased a bit; watching myself gradually improve, it's indeed a very satisfying thing.

Finally, Chen Yongren turned his gaze to the mission column.

Mission.

【Assassination of Xichuangong Xiuzai】

【Status: Uncompleted】

Today is the day Keisenomiya Xiuzai holds a banquet.

Chen Yongren no longer wasted time, disguised himself, mixed into the team delivering ingredients tonight, and sneaked into the consulate.

Rashly stealing someone's invitation, if it causes a commotion, will surely alert the little Japanese.

Moreover, given that I've been frequently conducting assassinations these past days, the consulate's guards have increased significantly, so Chen Yongren decided to adopt the safest method.

After all.

No one would be idle enough to re-check the invitations after all guests have entered the banquet hall.

After sneaking into the consulate kitchen's backyard, Chen Yongren found an empty corner.

Taking out the prepared suit from the system storage, changing his face, he then swaggered into the banquet hall.

At this moment.

The banquet hall already had many guests gathered.

Through the scan eye, Chen Yongren could easily see through these people's identities.

People from all walks of life in Songhu had gathered here; acquaintances were clinking glasses and chatting.

Chen Yongren casually picked up a glass of champagne from the table, interestedly surveyed the surroundings, and noted down each person's identity for future needs.

Chen Yongren even saw Fujiwara Chikata and Umiya Kazuto.

He deliberately walked past them with a glass of wine; they merely glanced lightly and did not discover that this person was Chen Yongren in disguise.

Fujiwara Chikata's face bore a solemn expression.

"The situation of Prince Keisenomiya is not good."

"According to normal timing, the banquet should have started, but he is still resting in the bedroom."

"Although holding a high position with tremendous power, it's not necessarily good; all the blame ends up on one's back."

"I really fear that under great mental pressure he might jump straight out of the third-floor window."

"But… falling from the third floor probably wouldn't kill someone, right?"

"If Keisenomiya dies, wouldn't Umiya Kazuto lose a backer?"

"The Japanese underlings overthrowing their superiors is truly a tradition; Fujiwara Chikata appears respectful on the surface, but in his heart he mutters about his superior jumping off a building."

Third floor?

Chen Yongren's heart stirred, thinking of a way to go to the third floor.

His gaze was suddenly drawn to a person in the corner of the banquet hall.

Looking at the string of information that popped up before his eyes.

"……" Chen Yongren.

Damn it.

Songhu actually has someone with more identities than me.

At a table in the corner sat a refined gentleman.

Name: Yuan Da Yi.

Gender: Male.

Age: 26.

Native place: Huaxia Huguang.

Current identity: Songhu Daily reporter.

Hidden identity 1: Red Party special operative.

Hidden identity 2: Japanese external intelligence officer.

Hidden identity 3: Party Affairs Office agent.

Hidden identity 4: Disciple of Cao Shan, boss of the Qinghong Gang, member of the 'Tong' generation.

Recent situation: Songhu has recently seen multiple successive sabotage actions targeting the Japanese, especially the recent baffling assassination cases, which have aroused his strong interest.

Those four hidden identities before him genuinely surprised Chen Yongren somewhat.

Red Party, black gang, Japanese, Party Affairs Office.

He's getting a share of everything.

"Where has Keisenomiya Xiuzai gone? Why haven't I seen his shadow all along?"

It is said that this guy can only fall asleep by taking medicine every day; he also doesn't eat himself to death.

"Songhu has recently caused such a huge commotion, and I actually knew nothing about it?"

"Don't mention him, I even have a headache."

"And there's that guy called 'godfather', his name is so arrogant, I really want to see what he looks like."

"Also there's Xiao Tu! Thanks to the supplies he sold us this time, our comrades were able to get through this winter."

"Those pieces of equipment were also continuously sent to the rear, and the comrades were so excited they couldn't stop smiling."

"No, can't call it selling; that price is hardly different from giving it away for free."

"He must be a young man full of ideals and ambition; if our China had more people like him, what worry would there be about not being able to drive the Japanese out of China?"

"After the organization learned that the enemy also wanted to uncover his identity, it ordered me to find him first and secretly protect his safety."

"But where exactly is he?"

"Suddenly so many interesting people have appeared; Songhu is really becoming more and more interesting."

A stream of thoughts entered Chen Yongren's ears.

You didn't expect that, I'm right in front of you, Chen Yongren thought to himself.

Hearing these thoughts, Chen Yongren could be sure that Yuan Dati was one of their own, lurking inside the Japanese to gather intelligence.

This banquet really came at the right time.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have met such an interesting person.

I wonder what expression Yuan Dati would have if he found out that those people he mentioned actually all belong to one person?

The stairs leading to the third floor were guarded by sentries.

Not long after, Chen Yongren saw a lieutenant colonel walking down the stairs, looking relieved.

This guy is none other than the aide to Prince Sakikawa.

"How is Prince Sakikawa?" Amagi Kazuto quickly walked toward him.

"Your Excellency Amagi, the prince said that the banquet will begin in 10 minutes." The Japanese lieutenant colonel said softly.

"Okay, I understand." Amagi Kazuto also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

10 minutes?

You just wait; after 10 minutes we'll hold a memorial service for him!

It's definitely impossible to go to the third floor straight through the front of the banquet hall; Chen Yongren took advantage of people's inattention and came to the consulate's backyard.

This is a backyard garden.

Only a few couples were fooling around; the Japanese soldiers originally stationed in the backyard, seeing them entwined, turned away one after another, not daring to look further.

This instead gave Chen Yongren an opportunity; he quickly climbed up to the third floor along the drainpipe by the wall.

Soon after, an angry roar was heard.

"Get out, all of you get out!"

Then Chen Yongren saw a few Japanese soldiers run past before his eyes, heading down the stairs to the second floor.

Seeing that, Chen Yongren immediately went to the third floor via the window, following the sound to a room's door.

Pushing open the door, he saw Prince Sakikawa Hideyoshi sitting by the bed, panting heavily.

Hearing movement at the door, he glared at it, intending to shout, but upon seeing a stranger, he froze for a moment and instinctively said:

"Who are you?"

"I'm your grandfather." Chen Yongren quickly entered the room, simultaneously closed the door, and immediately locked his mental control onto Prince Sakikawa Hideyoshi.

Immediately after.

Prince Sakikawa Hideyoshi then heard another sound in his ear.

"You damned thing."

"What exactly is the Dandelion Plan!"

……

As usual, update first, revise later!
