Are S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra no longer distinguishing themselves?

Not bad at all, a triple blessing!

Du Mu was in a great mood; this Frost was truly a lucky star.

If the guy hadn't already been reduced to ashes, he would have liked to invite him to the beach for a nice sunbath.

After all, that face was so pale it screamed severe anemia; getting some sun would definitely be good for his physical and mental health.

Blade walked over and asked Du Mu, "Is Frost dead?"

Du Mu replied, "Unless he has a second phase, he should be dead as a doornail."

A flicker of subtle regret crossed Blade's face.

It wasn't that he mourned Frost, but rather that he hadn't had the chance to dig those few kilograms of silver bullets out of his corpse.

As for that strange black flame that devoured Frost, Blade wisely chose to remain silent; everyone had their own secrets, and digging deeper was meaningless.

"Since Frost is dead, it's time for me to leave."

Blade put away his long silver sword, donned his signature sunglasses, and returned to his cold, stoic demeanor.

[NPC Eric Brooks has left your party]

The system notification chimed.

Du Mu didn't pay it much mind, merely asking out of curiosity, "Where are you heading? Let's add each other as friends; maybe we can team up again in the future."

To be honest, teaming up with Blade these past few days had been quite pleasant; teammates who voluntarily hand over the kills were truly a rare breed.

Blade was clearly accustomed to Du Mu's way of speaking, his brain automatically translating it into something he could understand.

"There's no need for contact information. I plan to head to other cities to continue hunting those vampire bastards hiding in the dark corners."

Blade 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 sheepishly, "Alright then, good luck."

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Director's office.

Nick Fury sat with his hands clasped, chin resting on his fingers, looking grave.

"You're telling me that I sent you to investigate a missing persons case, and you ended up uncovering a connection to legendary vampires, while incidentally wiping out the vampire faction within New York City?"

"And in the process, you discovered that the vampire leader was performing a mysterious ritual to obtain the so-called Blood God Power, attempting to lead the vampire race to dominate the Earth?"

"Finally, you stepped in just in time to stop him, thwarting the vampire conspiracy and saving human peace?"

Du Mu gave a thumbs up, "As expected of the Director! Your summary is incisive and spot on!"

Nick Fury: 👁️‍🗨️

He found himself at a loss for words.

A simple missing persons case had actually spiraled into such earth-shattering events.

The most ridiculous part was that by the time he learned of the incident, Du Mu had already wrapped the whole thing up!

It felt like making a wish on a shooting star before going to sleep, only to wake up and hear that the meteor had nearly triggered an apocalypse, and while the whole world had experienced a night of terror, he was the only one snoring away.

Nick Fury rubbed his temples, "With something this big, why didn't you notify me from the start?"

"No need, you would've just handed the follow-up missions to me anyway, so it's better to just skip to the end," Du Mu said as if it were obvious.

Nick Fury: "?"

Who said anything about handing the follow-up missions to you?

If he had known it involved vampires, he would have mobilized S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that very day and used UV lights to disinfect those bloodsuckers—a bunch of creatures that couldn't see the light of day daring to cause trouble on his turf!

However, Nick Fury knew Du Mu was a bit touched in the head, so he couldn't be bothered to argue.

Besides, Du Mu had indeed done a good job on this incident; aside from not notifying him, everything else was handled well.

Still, Nick Fury was genuinely surprised that Du Mu had kicked over an entire vampire faction all by himself.

In fact, Nick Fury had known for a long time that Du Mu possessed some kind of special ability.

After all, it was hard for Nick Fury not to notice something strange about a guy who could arrive at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters instantly from thousands of miles away.

Moreover, Du Mu didn't even bother to hide it, performing tricks like disappearing acts, instant costume changes, and pulling items out of thin air right in front of him every day, as if he didn't consider Nick Fury a person at all.

He only had one eye, but he wasn't blind!

And so, one day, Nick Fury flew into a rage... but that was all he did!

There was no helping it!

Du Mu was just too useful!

He only needed to issue the missions, and Du Mu would handle everything else; it was incredibly worry-free and efficient.

Of course, Du Mu would occasionally stir up some trouble, even causing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget to become quite tight at times, but compared to an agent with a one-hundred-percent mission completion rate, Nick Fury could grit his teeth and accept the cost.

Nick Fury, however, had not expected Du Mu's abilities to be quite so far beyond his imagination.

To think he could actually take down a vampire as near-immortal as Frost—this truly exceeded his expectations.

Nick Fury narrowed his eyes and slid a prepared file across the desk to Du Mu.

"This is your new mission. Once completed, the agency will evaluate whether you qualify for promotion to a Level 6 agent."

[NPC Nick Fury has issued you a status advancement mission]

[Mission: Mystery of the Ninja]

[Objective: Investigate a mysterious organization known as The Hand and obtain vital intelligence to deliver to Nick Fury]

[Reward: Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. (Hydra) agent clearance]

It was interesting.

The rank systems for S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra were actually interchangeable.

Does this mean the two organizations have reached the point where they are indistinguishable from one another?

In the early hours of the morning.

Following the mission guidance, Du Mu arrived near a heavily guarded building.

Several security personnel were stationed at the entrance, and every entrant had to pass their rigorous inspection before being allowed through.

But this could not stop Du Mu.

He crouched down to activate his Gravity Boots, stepping directly onto the side of the building to scale the wall, reaching the roof with ease.

He then pulled out his Master Key, effortlessly unlocked the iron door on the roof, and slipped into the building's interior without a sound.

The hallway was dimly lit, yet it was clear that cameras were installed in every corner, monitoring every position with full, blind-spot-free coverage.

The security measures could be described as quite airtight.

Du Mu was not the least bit flustered; he pulled a cool-looking phone from his game inventory.

[Item: Hacker Phone (A phone belonging to a top-tier hacker, capable of easily hacking most electronic systems)]

Du Mu had used this very Hacker Phone to successfully breach the system in Pierce's office.

If even a defense system on the level of S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't stop it, a commercial building's system was naturally a piece of cake.

With a few swift taps on the screen, Du Mu successfully hacked into the building's surveillance system, replacing the live feed with a looped clip.

"A perfect infiltration!"

Du Mu's lips curled slightly, quite satisfied with his performance.

Let's see who dares to say I only know how to go in guns blazing from now on!

However, he had barely taken a few steps forward when a series of urgent alarms suddenly blared.

Mixed in were the panicked shouts of the security personnel.

"Damn it, someone has broken into the building!"

Du Mu: "???"
