The moment Daniel heard the security guards shouting, he thought he had been exposed.
However, those footsteps did not approach his area, but rather moved away towards the other side of the building.
It seemed that someone else had also broken into the building.
"Another master?"
Daniel was slightly surprised, but the current chaos provided him with convenience.
While the building's security forces were distracted, Daniel swaggered towards a target office, once again pulling out his master 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 indicating 'interactable', a typical trigger marker for a mission mechanism.
"I like games that don't require thinking."
Daniel immediately walked over to examine the mural.
Sure enough, he quickly discovered a hidden compartment behind the mural, with a small safe embedded inside.
Daniel opened the safe with his master key, and inside, some notebooks were neatly arranged—yes, the legitimate kind.
Mission items easily acquired!
Daniel stuffed all the ledgers into his game inventory and turned to prepare for evacuation.
Just then, footsteps came from the office doorway.
Daniel followed the sound and saw a familiar red figure standing in the corridor—it was Matt, dressed in his Night Devil costume.
"Oh, isn't this Matt Lawyer? Long time no see, are you also out for a walk in the middle of the night?" Daniel 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 was clearly not expecting to run into Daniel here again, and his expression instantly turned 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 cannot take them away."
"Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?"
Daniel pouted: "And putting that aside, what use are ledgers to a blind man like you? Can you even see the text on them?"
"Yes," Matt nodded.
Daniel didn't believe him, so he pulled out 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 somewhat speechless.
Is there something wrong with this person's brain?
Daniel was also surprised; Matt's perception ability was too outrageous, he could even see text.
He looked at the other party with suspicion: "Matt Lawyer, are you really blind or just pretending? 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 uncontrollably: "Now, can you give me the ledgers? This evidence needs to be handed over to the police."
"No."
Daniel flatly refused, saying cheerfully: "It's too much trouble to give it to the police, there are so many procedures. It's better to give it directly to our S.H.I.E.L.D., a professional team, highly efficient!"
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Matt quickly searched his memory, confirming that he had never heard of any official law enforcement agency with that name.
However, judging from Daniel's crazy 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 subtle disturbance.
The next moment, a dozen figures dressed in pitch-black ninja outfits emerged from the shadows, appearing silently in various corners of the corridor, surrounding Daniel and Matt at the office doorway.
"It's you again, Night Devil! How dare you provoke our The Hand again and again. This time, you will surely die!"
The red ninja leading them spoke with a chillingly cold voice.
Suddenly, he violently swung his right hand, and several shurikens shot directly towards Matt!
Matt reacted extremely quickly, avoiding the attack with a difficult side-step.
The red ninja didn't hesitate, pulling a katana from his back with a backhand, letting out a low growl, and charging at Matt!
In an instant, the two engaged in fierce combat, producing intense sounds of struggle.
Meanwhile, Daniel was also surrounded by several black-clad ninjas wielding katanas.
Their grip on their swords was steady and strong, and their eyes were sharp, clearly indicating they were all master swordsmen.
Daniel pulled out a watermelon knife 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, charging simultaneously at extreme speed. Several chilling Sword Light flashed, savagely striking at Daniel'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!
Daniel blew away the white smoke from the muzzle and shook his head: "I warned you already."
Seeing this, the faces of the other ninjas stiffened.
This is kung fu!?
But the ninjas showed no fear on their faces; their speed did not decrease as they wielded their katanas and charged at Daniel, fearless of death!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they were, they weren't as fast as Daniel's American Iaido.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!
Daniel raised his golden desert eagle and fired repeatedly, directly dispatching these master swordsmen.
In less than a few seconds.
Only the red-clad ninja, who was passionately fighting Matt, remained on the field.
He caught a glimpse of his fallen comrades' bodies piled at Daniel's feet from the corner of his eye, and a flicker of rage crossed his gaze.
"Baka yarou! I'm going to make you shinu shinu!"
The red-clad ninja burst into his native tongue, and disregarding his entanglement with Matt, his body suddenly spun, gripping his katana tightly with both hands, and lunged at Daniel with astonishing speed!
Bang!
Daniel raised his hand and fired a shot!
However, the red ninja quickly twisted his wrist, bringing the katana horizontally in front of him, and the bullet was actually deflected by the blade!
Daniel was a little surprised, but he didn't continue shooting.
He tightened his grip on the watermelon knife in his left hand, watching as the red ninja charged forward with his sword raised.
"Shine!!"
The red-clad ninja raised his katana high with both hands, using all his strength, and furiously chopped down towards Daniel's head!
Just as the blade was about to fall, Daniel suddenly raised the watermelon knife in his hand.
"Parry!"
Clang—!
The blades of the watermelon knife and the katana collided fiercely, producing a crisp and loud clang of metal!
The red-clad ninja felt a powerful recoil from the hilt, and his entire body stumbled uncontrollably backward, his body falling into a strange state of rigidity, unable to move!
"Nani!?"
The red-clad ninja's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
But before he could recover, a watermelon knife flashed past, directly severing his head!
Matt, who was nearby, wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"You're killing again."
Matt's voice was low, his face grim.
Daniel looked at him disdainfully: "This is self-defense, don't you understand the law, Matt Lawyer?"
Matt: "..."
After taking down the red ninja, Daniel saw another group of black-clad masked ninjas emerge from the end of the corridor, brandishing katanas and charging towards them with murderous intent.
Daniel's expression hardened, and he shielded Matt in front of him.
"Matt Lawyer, there are too many of them. Later, follow my lead, and we'll split up and run!"
Matt: "?"
Before Matt could react, Daniel suddenly gave him a meaningful look, then turned and ran.
Anyway, he had already given the signal.
As for whether Matt saw it, that was no longer his concern.
