Nozaki’s Undercover Operation Has Been Exposed to Xinxi.

It all began with Liu Mingxuan, Nozaki’s subordinate who was believed to be dead. With Nozaki’s coded messages also deciphered, the Beppan rescue mission reaches a critical point—and a ruthless decision must be made.

Five years before the events of VIVANT began, Nozaki’s (Hiroshi Abe) past was revealed. As Xinxi’s true objective begins to come into focus, Nozaki’s undercover operation is exposed.

Then, a man believed to be dead suddenly appears: Liu Mingxuan (Masato Sakai, in a dual role), a former subordinate of Nozaki who bears an uncanny resemblance to Nogi (Masato Sakai).

To make matters worse, the encrypted messages Nozaki had been secretly sending to Japan are deciphered, leaving him in a desperate situation.

As Nogi races to save Kurosu (Tori Matsuzaka) and the other Beppan operatives, he receives a merciless ultimatum.
