The moment Du Mu heard the security personnel's shouts, he thought he had been exposed.
However, those footsteps did not approach his area but moved away towards the other side of the building.
It seemed someone else had also broken into the building.
"Another expert?"
Du Mu was slightly surprised, but the current chaos provided him with a convenient opportunity.
While the building's security forces were distracted, Du Mu swaggered towards a target office, again pulling out a universal key to unlock the door.
He quickly scanned the room, his gaze soon locking onto a seemingly ordinary mural on the wall.
In his vision, the edge of the mural was emitting a faint white glow of 'interactable', a typical marker for a mission trigger.
"I love games that don't require thinking."
Du Mu immediately walked over to examine the mural.
Sure enough, he soon discovered a hidden compartment behind the mural, with a small safe embedded inside.
Du Mu opened the safe with the universal key, and inside were neatly stacked notebooks—the legitimate kind.
Mission item easily acquired!
Du Mu stuffed all the ledgers into his game inventory and turned to prepare for evacuation.
Just then, footsteps came from the office doorway.
Du Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar red figure standing in the corridor: Matt, in his Night Devil suit.
"Oh, isn't this Matt Lawyer? Long time no see, are you also out for a walk in the middle of the night?" Du Mu greeted him in a relaxed tone.
Matt: "..."
Who would come to a place like this for a walk in the middle of the night?
Matt obviously hadn't expected to run into Du Mu here again, and his expression instantly became serious.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Please hand over the ledgers you just took. Those are important criminal evidence for The Hand, and you can't take them away."
"Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?"
Du Mu pouted, "And besides that, what use are ledgers to a blind man like you? Can you even see the words on them?"
"As a matter of fact, I can."
Du Mu didn't believe him, so he pulled a pen from his game inventory and wrote a few words on his hand.
"Then tell me what words are on my hand."
"I don't know."
"And you say you can see words."
"What you wrote on your hand is 'I don't know'."
Matt was a little speechless.
Is there something wrong with this person's brain?
Du Mu was also surprised; Matt's perception ability was simply too outrageous, to be able to even see words.
He looked at the other party suspiciously: "Matt Lawyer, are you really blind or faking it? You're not one of those perverts who pretends to be blind to teach piano but actually peeks at girls changing clothes, are you?"
How did it get back to perverts again?
Matt's mouth twitched involuntarily: "Now, can you give me the ledgers? This evidence needs to be handed over to the police."
"No."
Du Mu flatly refused, saying cheerfully, "It's too much trouble to give it to the police, with all the procedures. It's better to hand it directly to our S.H.I.E.L.D., professional team, high efficiency!"
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Matt quickly searched his memory, confirming he had never heard of any official law enforcement agency by that name.
However, judging from this lunatic Du Mu's behavior, this organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. was clearly not a legitimate organization either.
Matt was about to retort.
Suddenly, his keen ears caught a very subtle anomaly.
The next moment, more than a dozen figures in pitch-black ninja outfits emerged from the shadows, silently appearing in various corners of the corridor, surrounding Du Mu and Matt at the office doorway.
"It's you again, Night Devil! How dare you provoke our The Hand repeatedly? This time, you will surely die!"
The leading red ninja's voice was icy cold.
Suddenly, he violently flicked his right hand, and several shurikens shot straight at Matt!
Matt reacted extremely quickly, avoiding the attack with a difficult sideways dodge.
The red ninja did not hesitate, pulling a katana from his back with a backhand, letting out a low growl, and charging towards Matt!
In an instant, the two engaged in fierce combat, making intense fighting sounds.
Meanwhile, Du Mu was also surrounded by several black-clad ninjas holding katanas.
Their grip on their swords was steady and strong, and their eyes were sharp, clearly indicating they were all master swordsmen.
Du Mu pulled out a Machete with his left hand and said coldly, "Don't say I didn't warn you, I know kung fu."
The ninjas surrounding him looked indifferent, ignoring his words.
Their figures flickered, and they charged at an extremely fast speed simultaneously, several chilling sword lights flashing as they viciously slashed at Du Mu's vital points from different angles!
Even a martial arts master would be defeated under their combined attack!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out, and four ninjas fell to the ground!
Du Mu blew the white smoke from the gun barrel and shook his head: "I warned you guys early on."
Seeing this, the faces of the other ninjas froze.
This is kung fu!?
But the ninjas showed no fear on their faces, maintaining their speed, and charging at Du Mu, brandishing their katanas fearlessly!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they were, they weren't as fast as Du Mu's American Iaijutsu.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang--!
Du Mu raised his golden desert eagle and fired in quick succession, directly dispatching these master swordsmen.
In less than a few seconds.
Only the red ninja, who was fiercely battling Matt, remained on the field.
He caught a glimpse of his comrades' bodies piled at Du Mu's feet from the corner of his eye, and a flicker of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Baka yarou! I'll make you shinu shinu!"
The red ninja blurted out his native language, and disregarding his entanglement with Matt, he suddenly spun around, gripping his katana with both hands, and charged at Du Mu with astonishing speed!
Bang!
Du Mu raised his hand and fired a shot!
However, the red ninja quickly twisted his wrist, bringing his katana horizontally in front of him, and the bullet was actually deflected by his blade!
Du Mu was a little surprised but did not continue shooting.
He tightened his grip on the Machete in his left hand, watching as the red ninja, filled with savage killing intent, charged close.
"Shine!!"
The red ninja raised his katana with both hands, using all his strength, and brought it down fiercely towards Du Mu's head!
Just as the blade was about to fall, Du Mu suddenly raised the Machete in his hand.
"Parry!"
Clang--!
The blades of the Machete and the katana collided fiercely, producing a crisp and loud clang of metal!
The red ninja felt a powerful recoil from the hilt, and he stumbled backward uncontrollably, his body entering a bizarre state of stiffness, unable to move!
"Nani!?"
The red ninja's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
But before he could recover, a Machete flashed past, directly severing his head!
Matt, who was nearby, wanted to speak out to stop it, but it was too late.
"You're killing again."
Matt's voice was low, his face grim.
Du Mu looked at him disdainfully: "This is self-defense, don't you understand the law, Matt Lawyer?"
Matt: "..."
After taking down the red ninja, Du Mu saw another group of black-clad masked ninjas emerge from the end of the corridor, holding katanas, and charging towards them with murderous intent.
Du Mu's expression hardened, and he shielded Matt in front of him.
"Matt Lawyer, there are too many of them. Later, watch my eyes, and we'll split up and run!"
Matt: "?"
Before Matt could react, Du Mu suddenly gave him a meaningful look, then turned and ran.
Anyway, he had already given the look.
As for whether Matt saw it or not, that was none of his business.
