The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 7 Sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now.
Du Mu walked out of Nick Fury's office.

After much persuasion, Nick Fury finally believed that he had no intention of leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.

Du Mu then took the opportunity to make a request: from now on, apart from high-difficulty tasks, please don't ask me to do low-value tasks anymore, because I no longer find them appealing!
Then, he was happy to get a day off.

The reason is that there are no high-difficulty missions available in S.H.I.E.L.D. at the moment; the higher-level missions have all been taken by other agents.

Nick Fury decided to give Du Mu a day off so he could rest properly and avoid exhausting this 'sales champion'.

"This game is unplayable, even the NPCs are so annoying!"

Du Mu grumbled as he strolled along the corridor.

Come to think of it, he has never properly explored the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Every time he comes, he goes straight to Nick Fury's office and hasn't even fully lit up the map of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is a good opportunity to open up a map and see if there are any hidden easter eggs.

After all, some game designers like to stuff treasure chests into every corner of the map, deliberately making players go through a lot of trouble to find them. This disgusted Du Mu back then.

Just do it!

Du Mu opened the minimap and moved towards the location that S.H.I.E.L.D. had not yet highlighted.

It has to be said that the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is indeed huge; Du Mu spent more than an hour exploring and still couldn't light up the entire map.

Soon, he arrived at the door of an office, which, according to the map, was an unexplored, dark area.

There aren't many people with private offices at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and they usually have impressive backgrounds, with at least an 8th-level agent level of authority, far beyond the reach of a 5th-level agent like Du Mu.

But Du Mu clearly had no qualms and pushed the door open to enter.

Upon entering the office, Du Mu saw a blond old man in a suit sitting behind a desk, with a bald man wearing glasses standing opposite him, seemingly reporting something.

Du Mu's sudden intrusion startled the two of them.

The bespectacled bald man reacted quickly, looking at Du Mu warily: "Who are you? How did you get in? Why didn't the office security system trigger the alarm?"

So many problems!

Du Mu suspected that he might have triggered some plot, and replied, "I am Du Mu. I don't need to explain how I got in, right? As for why no alarm was triggered, it's simple: I hacked the system."

The bespectacled bald man: "?"

How can you say that so confidently?
"you"

"Alright, Agent Sitwell, you can go out now. I have something to say to Agent Du Mu."

The blond old man suddenly interrupted Sitwell.

“Mr. Pierce, but he…”

"It's alright, leave it to me."

".clear."

Sitwell gave Du Mu a deep look before leaving the office.

"Please take a seat."

Pierce gave Du Mu a rather friendly smile.

Du Mu, without any hesitation, plopped down opposite Pierce, casually fiddling with a wallet in his hand.

"This is.?"

Pierce looked puzzled.

"Oh, this? My wallet."

As Du Mu spoke, he took out all the cash from his wallet and stuffed it into his pocket, then casually threw the wallet into the trash can at his feet.

Pierce had excellent eyesight and clearly saw a driver's license slip out of the wallet; the person in the photo was none other than Sitwell, who had just left.

Pierce: "."

This is a master thief!
Moreover, he's petty; Sitwell had his wallet stolen just because he glared at him.

Pierce had made a preliminary assessment of Du Mu and said bluntly, "I know you, Agent Du Mu."

"Oh? You've heard my story too?" Du Mu's interest was piqued.

“Of course, your abilities are quite outstanding. You were promoted from a graduate to a Level 5 agent in just two months, which is unprecedented in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Pierce praised.

"You flatter me." Du Mu's impression of Pierce improved greatly; it was rare to find an NPC with such good taste.

"However, I know more than just that."

Pierce gave a meaningful smile.

Du Mu disliked riddle-makers the most, but considering the other person's praise, he still cooperated and asked, "What else do you know?"

"of course……"

Pierce leaned forward slightly, leaned close to Du Mu's ear, and whispered, "Long live Hydra!"

Du Mu's eyes widened suddenly as he stared at Pierce in disbelief.

"you you"

Pierce nodded with satisfaction, it seemed Du Mu had fully understood: "That's right, that's me."

"what do you mean?"

Du Mu finally finished speaking.

Pierce: "."

Can you please stop panting when you speak?
Pierce's face darkened, and he chose to lay his cards on the table: "Don't you understand? I'm Hydra!"

"He's also your boss!"

Upon hearing this, Du Mu suddenly realized what was happening, immediately stood up, and said seriously, "I'm sorry, sir! I didn't recognize you just now!"

That's right!

Du Mu originally chose the identity of a Hydra spy!
According to the system, he was a secret spy planted within S.H.I.E.L.D.

His task was simple: to conceal his identity and not be discovered by anyone, especially by that heartless bald egg.

In addition, he can still accept S.H.I.E.L.D. missions as usual and receive the rewards without fail.

"It's alright, it's normal that you don't know. For the organization's safety, all inactive Hydra members will not know of each other's existence until they confirm each other's identities."

At this point, Pierce looked at Du Mu speechlessly: "If you hadn't barged in today, I wouldn't have activated you, this hidden mob."

This time, Du Mu stumbled upon another of his superiors by sheer chance.

"However, your awareness of precautions is commendable. Even if someone shouts 'Long live Hydra' to you, you don't admit it on the spot. You did a very good job in that regard."

"Uh, thank you for the compliment, sir."

Du Mu scratched his head somewhat guiltily.

Can he say that he's been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for so long that he almost forgot about Hydra?

No, this is the ultimate level of disguise. Even you forget your true identity, so who can find out?

Upon thinking this, Du Mu suddenly felt capable again.

Pierce's expression turned serious: "Now that it's activated, don't waste the opportunity. I happen to have a mission that needs manpower, and your conditions seem very suitable."

"What mission?"

Du Mu immediately perked up.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. can't get involved, then Hydra might be able to as well.

“This is a long-term mission. I need you to keep a close eye on Nick Fury. If he assigns you any special tasks, or if you discover any unusual movements he makes, you must report to me immediately.”

[NPC Alexander Pierce has given you a new quest]

[Mission: Long Live Hydra]

Objective: To promptly report the progress of missions issued by Nick Fury to Pierce.

[Reward: Determined based on mission completion and intelligence value]

"Mission accomplished, sir!"

Du Mu stood at attention in response.
