The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 96 The copy is opened

And so, Du Mu, this Hydra spy, became Nick Fury's informant within S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible for investigating the Hydra agents lurking within the organization.

Of course, he himself was also among those being investigated.

This is really hard to break down.

Du Mu outwardly agreed to Nick Fury's task, but in reality, he planned to give Nick Fury a big surprise later.

The list of almost the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. mole—are you surprised or not?
Nick Fury said solemnly, "Agent Du Mu, this mission is extremely difficult. Remember to conceal your identity and never let the mole find out."

It's indeed quite challenging. The main problem is that I can't be discovered by you, the Hydra mole, otherwise the mission will be difficult.

Du Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the mole in S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Well, I believe you."

Nick Fury had great confidence in Du Mu.

He couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that Du Mu was one of his own; otherwise, the other party would have been a mole.
The moment the thought crossed Nick Fury's mind, he couldn't help but shudder, realizing he was being far too paranoid, even instinctively doubting a loyal and reliable agent like Du Mu.

With Nick Fury's trust and a few servings of fried chicken, Du Mu left the safe house, then immediately contacted Pierce and decisively betrayed Nick Fury!

Sorry, I'm the mole!

Even Pierce couldn't hold back for a moment when Du Mu recounted Nick Fury's words.

Sending an insider to investigate another insider? That's something Nick Fury could come up with!
After a moment, Pierce spoke up: "You did a great job, Agent Du Mu. In the future, if you have any similar intelligence, be sure to report to me immediately. As for the task that Nick Fury gave you, just ignore it."

"Don't worry, sir, I would never betray the organization!"

"Well, I believe you!"

Pierce had great confidence in Du Mu.

He also knew that Du Mu had passed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s highest level of security testing, and even truth serum couldn't pry a single piece of information about Hydra out of him.

This perseverance is undoubtedly the best proof of Du Mu's loyalty to the organization!
After hanging up the phone, Du Mu decided to sell Pierce to Nick Fury at the right time.

That way he can receive two rewards!

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

The aftermath of the Battle of New York continued to unfold, with unusual events occurring frequently across the United States.

These days, S.H.I.E.L.D. is extremely busy and running around like crazy.

Especially the newly appointed director, Hill, who appeared very capable on her first day in office, but as the workload increased, her image gradually began to spiral out of control.

Now, every time Du Mu sees Hill, the other man is almost always disheveled, with bloodshot eyes, and has a temper even more fiery than Hulk's. He is completely unrecognizable from his original refined and dashing appearance.

Sure enough, after a period of intense work, even a goddess will turn into a ghost.

Du Mu adapted very well to this work rhythm. For him, the current situation was simply that the task was slightly more difficult, but the corresponding rewards were also more generous, which was actually a good thing.

During this time, he took a break and returned to the library in Kamar-Taj, intending to study magic and shed the title of novice mage as soon as possible.

However, while searching through ancient texts, he unexpectedly discovered a book that recorded melee weapon techniques.

Well, as a sacred place for mages to cultivate, it is quite reasonable for the library to include melee weapon techniques.

Out of curiosity, Du Mu tried a keyword search and discovered that there were quite a few books related to weapons in the library.

Most of these are practical experiences and insights summarized by sorcerers throughout history, covering the use of various melee weapons, and even weapon insights written by the Ancient One herself.

Kamar-Taj is truly a place where everyone is a weapon master!

Du Mu immediately picked up these classic texts and started studying them, diligently watching videos and reading books!

[Attention players, the new dungeon is now officially open]

Players will receive generous rewards upon clearing the dungeon, depending on their completion rate and quest completion!

[Enter the instance immediately/no]

The system notification sound suddenly interrupted Du Mu's studies.

"The dungeon has opened?"

Du Mu was taken aback.

This instance system was a new feature that he unlocked after being promoted to Level 7 Agent, and it had been completely ignored until he had almost forgotten about it.

"System, what kind of gameplay is this dungeon?" Du Mu asked.

The dungeons are created by randomly selected game servers, allowing players to embark on brand-new adventures and challenges.

Players can return after completing the dungeon quest, or choose to abandon the challenge and return immediately.

"What about my main storyline progress?"

Du Mu didn't want to finish a dungeon and come back to find the main storyline already completed automatically, without even getting a taste of the broth.

Rest assured, the server will automatically save your progress when you enter a dungeon, and automatically load the save file when you leave the dungeon. There will be no loss of progress or automatic progression of the story.

"That's good."

Du Mu originally wanted to go straight to the main text, but after thinking about it again, he decided to make some preparations first.

After all, it's my first time challenging a dungeon, and I don't know the difficulty or rules. It would be embarrassing if I failed.

So he seized the time to work hard, and after watching videos and reading books, he finally mastered the skill of 'basic use of one-handed sword', and finally didn't have to cut Xia Ji eight times anymore.

Afterwards, Du Mu returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, replenished the ammunition used in the Battle of New York, and also inquired with Hill about the location of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s large strategic weapons.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to check if any thieves had sneaked in and were eyeing these large strategic weapons.

But after spending time together, Hill had already figured out Du Mu's style of doing things very well. No matter how he tried to get information out of him, Hill resolutely refused to reveal any information, which made Du Mu sigh and wonder where the trust between people had gone.

After everything was ready, Du Mu took out the newly acquired magic mask.

The mask was made of some strange wood material; it felt warm to the touch, yet it exuded an eerie coolness.

The natural wood grain is deeply embedded in the surface of the mask, like obscure runes that appear and disappear as the light shifts.

At the edge of the mask, there are indescribable twisted patterns carved on it. Looking at them for a long time gives people a disorienting feeling, as if the patterns are slowly wriggling and reorganizing on their own.

This doesn't look like the kind of equipment a decent person should wear.

But it's not a big problem.

For him, as long as the intensity is high enough, the appearance doesn't matter at all.

Du Mu decisively put on the magic mask.

The moment the mask was put on, it clung tightly to his face.

With the support of the equipment and the Bull Warrior's skills, Du Mu felt a surge of power coursing through his body, and his confidence instantly exploded. Even if the Ancient One came at this moment, she would have to take two slaps before she could leave!

"What a unique mask."

The voice of the Ancient One suddenly rang out calmly in his ear.

Du Mu was startled and turned around to find that Gu Yi was standing next to him at some point.

In addition, the surrounding reality had shattered and distorted like glass, clearly indicating that he had been pulled into the mirror space by the Ancient One.

Du Mu's lips twitched: "Ancient One, do you always have to appear and disappear so mysteriously every time you show up?"

The Ancient One said calmly, "I've always been here, you just didn't notice."

Du Mu: _

You're in the mirror space, how am I, a novice mage, supposed to detect you?

Du Mu, too lazy to argue, asked, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yi's gaze fell on Du Mu's magical mask, and she said calmly, "Just now I sensed an evil magical aura appearing on Earth, so I came to check it out, and it turned out to be you. No wonder."

Du Mu: "."

What do you mean, "No wonder"?

He's at least a guy with superhero codenames, and two of them at that: Iron Glide and Demon!

Okay, that doesn't sound like a good guy.

Du Mu glanced at the map. The cursor representing the Ancient One had not turned red and remained a neutral NPC marker, so he felt relieved. At least the other party hadn't come here to exterminate evil spirits. No, he wasn't an evil spirit to begin with!
But Du Mu still looked at Gu Yi warily and asked, "You wouldn't be thinking of taking my equipment, would you?"

As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, the Ancient One might be the kind of character who upholds justice and cannot tolerate any evil magic. The Ancient One shook her head slightly: "Power itself is neither good nor evil. The key lies in the person who uses it. Even if someone uses dark magic, as long as the purpose is to protect, their actions are worthy of your respect and worthy of your learning."

Du Mu nodded. What he said made a lot of sense, but he still felt that something was off, as if there was an underlying meaning to what he said.

"Also, I'm saying goodbye to you," the Ancient One suddenly said.

"Goodbye?"

"Yes, I must leave Earth for a while to deal with matters in the multiverse. My return date is uncertain, so you don't need to come looking for me. During this time, Kamar-Taj will be managed by Mage Mordo. If you encounter any trouble, you can seek his help."

"and you."

"No need for farewells, I'm leaving now."

Before Du Mu could finish speaking, Gu Yi gently waved her hand, sending him out of the mirror space.

"Gu Yi, you're such a busy person!"

Du Mu had intended to mutter a curse under his breath.

But then he realized that the other person might still be spying on him in the mirror space, so he immediately changed his mind.

In the end, Du Mu didn't slap her twice. It wasn't that he didn't dare, but Gu Yi ran too fast!
That's right, that's it!
Without further thought, Du Mu immediately opened the game's instance system and selected to enter an instance.

[The dungeon teleportation process is about to begin. Please prepare accordingly.]

A few seconds later, Du Mu's figure disappeared from the spot.

When he came to his senses again, the scenery around him had completely changed.

A damp, musty smell filled Du Mu's nostrils, and he found himself in a dark alley.

In the corner, an old newspaper fluttering in the wind caught his eye. The front page featured a wildly imaginative photo of a president, and the headline read "1962."

Du Mu couldn't help but complain: "It's one thing for the game to start in 2008, but why is the timeline of this dungeon pushed forward?"

"At this rate, won't the dungeons be released earlier and earlier? If that happens, there won't be any dungeons to play. After all, America's history is only a little over two hundred years old."

Before he could take a good look around, a suppressed argument came from nearby.

"Hand over the money!"

"Please, don't hurt us."

Du Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gunman threatening a trembling family of three.

Is this a familiar scene, the Wayne family?
However, he was soon disappointed, because the couple was holding a girl whose name was not Wayne Bruce or Wien Bruce.

Du Mu immediately lost all interest, stepped forward, and casually asked, "Excuse me, what place is this?"

"Which bastard is being nosy?"

The thug turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound, only to see a man wearing a strange mask and odd clothes staring at him.

He trembled with fear, hastily raising his gun to point at Du Mu, his voice trembling: "Shit! What the hell are you?!"

Du Mu sighed: "Don't point a gun at me, I have a fear of gun muzzle."

"Fake."

Bang! !

Before the thug could finish speaking, Du Mu kicked him away, sending him crashing heavily into the wall, where he couldn't be pried out.

"I forgot about the skill bonus and didn't control my strength well."

Du Mu felt somewhat helpless.

He had planned to play it safe in the first dungeon and figure out the situation first, but unexpectedly, monsters came to him as soon as he landed.

Du Mu turned to the family of three, who were pale with fright, and comforted them, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person. May I ask where this place is?"

The man, battling his fear, shielded his wife and daughter behind him and answered in a trembling voice, "This is New York."

So I was still in New York.

It seems that no matter the era, the spawn rate of monsters in the alleys of New York is always this high.

Du Mu said, "Why are you walking through alleys at night? You're not the Wayne family. If you rob someone like this, they might go crazy and not leave you with a daughter to grow up and beat you up."

The man didn't understand what she was saying, but he knew that she was reminding him.

"We understand, we will definitely pay attention in the future."

"It's good to know."

Du Mu nodded with satisfaction, then took out his golden Desert Eagle and pointed it at the other party.

"Now that we're robbing you, please hand over all your money."

A family of three: "."

Du Mu robbed the family of three of their cash, but didn't take any jewelry or anything like that; he had a whole bunch of those things in his game inventory.

Although he had a lot of money, it was obviously not accepted in this era.

Ignoring the warning about the increasing sin value, Du Mu put away his Golden Desert Eagle and walked out of the alley.

After walking only a few steps, they heard a voice coming from the side.

"Are you a mutant?"

Du Mu turned his head at the sound and saw a young couple standing at the alley entrance, and it was the brown-haired man who spoke.

[NPC: Charles Xavier]

Codename: Professor X

【Favourability: 20】

[Evaluation: The most powerful telepath, one of the strongest bald men in the Marvel Universe, one of the leaders of mutants, the creator of the X-Men, and his legs are not very good.]

Upon seeing this assessment, Du Mu immediately put on the "foolish ring" without saying a word.

The most powerful telepath sounds much stronger than a little Karami like Kilgrave; we have to be on guard.

After putting on the silly ring, Du Mu immediately felt much more at ease.

He asked calmly, "What are mutants?"

Charles explained, "A mutant is someone whose genes mutate, causing them to develop a special ability, just like you."

“You can’t just say things like that. My race is still human.” Du Mu immediately denied it.

Charles smiled slightly, assuming that Du Mu was being cautious or unwilling to reveal his identity in front of strangers.

He had seen this reaction before.

For example, Raven, the woman beside him, was initially wary of him, but only after confirming that he was one of her kind did she let her guard down.

Charles then said no more and immediately activated his telepathic abilities.

"Don't worry, we're the same kind of people."

Charles relayed these words directly into Du Mu's mind.

He had assumed that Du Mu would be as surprised as everyone else upon hearing this.

However, after waiting a few seconds, they found that Du Mu did not react at all.

Charles frowned slightly and sent the message to Du Mu's brain again, but the other party still did not react.

Has my ability malfunctioned?
Charles looked at Raven beside him with a hint of confusion, silently asking himself, "Can you hear me?"

Raven nodded, indicating that the call went very smoothly.

Charles was at a loss now, so he focused his attention on Du Mu again and launched a third call, unwilling to give up.

This time, Du Mu finally responded.

"What are you looking at? I've been watching you staring for ages, I've been putting up with you for a long time!"

Charles: "."
