Or was it Zhang Tao, the refined "Councilor" of Manchukuo and the savior of the Japanese Prince? Perhaps it was the underground anti-Japanese organization in South Manchuria, or the secret agents infiltrating Northeast China for a revival plan! In bustling cities and remote forests, the shadow of Kill in all directions lurked everywhere.
