"Nice, nice, three happy occasions at once!"
Du Mu was in a great mood. This Fees really was a lucky star.
If that guy hadn't already turned to ashes, he would have invited him to the beach for a nice sunbath.
After all, his face was so White, a clear sign of severe anemia; getting more Sun would definitely be beneficial for his physical and mental health.
Eric walked over and asked Du Mu, "Is Fees dead?"
Du Mu said, "If he doesn't have a second phase, then he's definitely dead."
A hint of undetectable regret flashed across Eric's face.
It wasn't regret for Fees, but regret that he hadn't had the chance to dig out those few kilograms of silver bullets from his corpse.
Regarding the strange black Fire that devoured Fees, Eric wisely chose to remain silent. Everyone has their secrets, and delving deeper was pointless.
"Since Fees is dead, I should leave as well."
Eric put away his silver longsword, put on his signature sunglasses, and reverted to his cold demeanor.
The system prompt sounded: "NPC Eric Brooks has left your team."
Du Mu didn't pay attention, just curiously asked, "Where are you going? Let's add each other as friends, maybe we can team up again in the future."
To be honest, Du Mu had a pretty pleasant time teaming up with Eric these past few days. Teammates who actively give up kills are truly rare.
Eric was clearly used to Du Mu's way of speaking and his brain automatically translated it into something he could understand.
"There's no need for contact information. I plan to go to other cities and continue hunting those Vampire bastards hiding in dark corners."
Eric paused, his voice low and firm: "Besides that, I also need to find my mother. There are some things I must ask her face to face."
"Uh…" Du Mu scratched his head guiltily, "Alright, then I wish you good luck."
...
At S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Director's office.
Director Fury sat with his fingers interlocked, supporting his chin, a serious expression on his face.
"You're saying I sent you to investigate a missing persons case, and you found out the case was related to the legendary Vampires, and you also cleared out the Vampire forces in New York City."
"And during this process, you discovered that the leader of the Vampires was holding a mysterious ritual to gain the so-called power of the Blood God, attempting to lead the Vampire race to dominate the Earth."
"Finally, you intervened in time to stop him, thwarted the Vampire's conspiracy, and saved human peace?"
Du Mu gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the Director! Your summary is incisive and accurate!"
Director Fury: 눈 灬 ●
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
A missing persons case actually involved so many World-shaking events.
The most absurd thing was that by the time he learned of the incident, Du Mu had already wrapped up the entire affair!
This feeling was like making a wish upon a shooting star and then going to sleep, only to wake up and hear that the shooting star almost caused the end of the World, and the whole World experienced a terrifying night while he was sound asleep.
Director Fury rubbed his temples: "Such a big matter, why didn't you inform me earlier?"
"No need, you'd just give me the follow-up tasks anyway, so it's better to skip straight to it," Du Mu said matter-of-factly.
Director Fury: "?"
Who said I was going to give you the follow-up tasks?
If he had known it was related to Vampires earlier, he would have mobilized S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents that very day to disinfect those Vampires with UV lamps. A bunch of creatures that couldn't stand the light dared to cause trouble on his territory!
However, Director Fury knew Du Mu had a screw loose and couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
Besides, Du Mu did a good job in this incident; apart from not informing him, everything else was handled well.
Nevertheless, Director Fury was still quite surprised by Du Mu single-handedly taking down an entire Vampire force.
In fact.
Long before, Director Fury knew that Du Mu possessed some special ability.
After all, for a guy who could instantly arrive at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters from thousands of miles away, it was hard for Director Fury not to notice something unusual.
Moreover, Du Mu didn't even bother to hide it, constantly performing various tricks like disappearing acts, instant costume changes, and conjuring objects out of thin air right in front of him, as if he didn't even see Director Fury as a person.
He was only blind in one eye, not completely blind!
So, one day Director Fury, in a fit of rage… well, he just got angry for a moment!
No choice!
Du Mu was simply too useful!
He just had to issue tasks, and everything else was left to Du Mu to complete, which was both worry-free and effortless.
Of course, Du Mu also caused him trouble from time to time, even making S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget quite tight at one point, but compared to an Agent with a 100% task completion rate, Director Fury could grit his teeth and accept this amount of expenditure.
However, Director Fury hadn't expected Du Mu's abilities to be much stronger than he had imagined.
He could even take down a nearly immortal Vampire like Fees, which was truly beyond his expectations.
Director Fury narrowed his eyes and pushed a prepared document towards Du Mu.
"This is your new mission. After it's completed, the Bureau will evaluate whether you qualify for promotion to a Level 6 Agent."
"NPC Director Fury has issued you an identity advancement mission."
"Mission: Mystery of the Ninja."
"Objective: Investigate a mysterious organization called The Hand, and obtain important intelligence to give to Director Fury."
"Reward: Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. (HYDRA) Agent authority qualification."
What was interesting.
The hierarchical ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA were actually interchangeable.
So, had these two organizations reached a point where they were indistinguishable?
...
In the early hours of the morning.
Following the mission's guidance, Du Mu arrived near a heavily guarded building.
Several security personnel were stationed in front of the building, and every entrant had to undergo their strict inspection before being allowed in.
But this didn't stop Du Mu.
He squatted down, activated his gravity boots, and directly scaled the side of the building, easily reaching the top floor.
Then he pulled out a master key, effortlessly opened the locked iron door on the roof, and silently infiltrated the interior of the building.
The hallway was dimly lit, but cameras were clearly visible in every corner, monitoring every position with full coverage and no blind spots.
The security measures could be said to be quite stringent.
Du Mu was not flustered in the slightest. He pulled out a cool-looking mobile phone from his game inventory.
"Item: Hacker Phone (A phone from a top hacker, capable of easily infiltrating most electronic systems)."
Du Mu had used this Hacker Phone to successfully hack into Pierce's office system back then.
Even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s level of defense system couldn't stop it, so a commercial building's system was naturally no match.
After a few swift operations on the screen with his fingertips, Du Mu successfully infiltrated the building's surveillance system, replacing the real-time footage with a looping segment.
"What a perfect infiltration!"
Du Mu's lips curved slightly upwards, quite satisfied with his performance.
Let's see who dares to say I can only go berserk now!
However, he had barely taken a few steps forward when he heard a sudden, urgent alarm sound.
Amidst it were the exclamations of the security personnel.
"Damn it, someone's broken into the building!"
Du Mu: "???"
