The secret that had never been known by anyone was exposed by Rogge, who had just met him.
This made Dum, who was used to having everything in his hands, feel an instinctive threat.
When Dum stood up and exuded a strong magic wave and killing intent, Rogge's body also shone with a light blue light.
Of course, Rogge knew how his words would affect Dum.
Although this would make Dum wary of him, it was the only trump card that could move Dum at the moment.
In order to get Dum to cooperate with him, he could only choose to take the risk and try.
Moreover, even if Dum really wanted to kill him, he had enough power to protect himself.
Dum looked coldly at Rogge across the long table as if he was considering his final decision.
"Who are you?"
Dum spoke again.
Although it was Dum's first time meeting Rogge, he was no stranger to Rogge. In fact, he knew him very well.
Since Rogge appeared as the "masked man", Dum had been paying attention to his existence and had even quietly investigated his past.
However, like everyone else, Dum's investigation of Rogge could only be traced back to the time when Rogge was a private investigator.
As for who he was before he became a private investigator and what kind of past he had, Dum did not obtain any useful information.
In the beginning, Dum even suspected that Rogge was an alien from another planet, just like Thor Thor from Asgard.
However, it did not take long for him to overturn this conjecture.
A person who was greedy and lustful on Earth, who did whatever he wanted, and who was also extremely domineering, could not be an alien from another planet.
An alien from another planet could not be so interested in the existence of Earth.
Even if it was a disguise, it was impossible to disguise so thoroughly.
Through the analysis of Rogge's actions and the various signs shown in his daily life, Dum could be 100% sure that Rogge was a pure earthling who had lived on Earth since he was a child.
After overthrowing the theory that Rogge was an alien, Dum had also suspected that he was one of those supernatural cultivators with long lives.
However, this conjecture was quickly overturned by him.
From Du Mu's point of view, although Rogge was powerful enough, he wasn't steady at all. He didn't have the calmness and indifference of someone who had experienced the world.
If he was not an alien, nor was he a cultivator who had lived in seclusion for many years, then it was very suspicious where Rogge's strength came from.
Doom knew that there were some geniuses in this world who were born far beyond ordinary people. He himself was a very obvious representative.
However, Dum did not sense the aura of a "genius" from Rogge.
Coupled with the secret Rogge had just revealed, Durm increasingly felt that he had signed a contract with the Lord of Hell, Mephisto.
Because he had signed a contract with Mephistos, his origins were a mystery, and he displayed great strength the moment he appeared.
It was precisely because of this that he knew that his mother, Cynthia, had been imprisoned by Mephisto, and that he had a bet with Mephisto.
Rogge had publicly announced at the Thunder Secret Team's press conference that he was from a place called Konoha, and that he was the Fourth Hokage of that mysterious hidden village.
However, Dum didn't believe a single word of it.
If there really was such a mysterious village on Earth, it was impossible for there to be no news of it at all.
Even an existence like Kamar-Taj was more or less connected to the real world.
Dum didn't think that the Konoha hidden village that Rogge was talking about would be more mysterious and powerful than Kamar-Taj.
"You don't have to look at me like that. I know you'll think I'm suspicious, and even wonder if I have something to do with Mephisto, and if I'm someone he specially arranged.
"I do have something to do with him, but it's not the kind of relationship you think!"
With that, Rogge summoned the contract that he hadn't signed with Mephisto.
"You've had a lot of dealings with Mephisto. You should be able to recognize his things."
Under Rogge's control, the unsigned parchment contract slowly floated in front of Dum.
Then, the living room fell completely silent.
Dum carefully checked the contract that floated over and confirmed its authenticity.
In the end, Dum let the parchment contract float back to Rogge. The magical fluctuations and killing intent emanating from his body completely disappeared, and he sat back on the high-back chair.
"Although I don't know how you did it, you didn't sign a contract with Mephisto. You have no reason to return to Hell."
Dum said calmly.
"Of course I have a reason to return to Hell.
"You've also cultivated in the Himalayas, so you should have heard of the term 'inner demon'.
"I don't want a crack to appear in my cultivation state, so I have to go to Hell."
Rogge explained.
He didn't make up the term 'inner demon'; it really existed.
Even if it wasn't an Extraordinary person like them, it was possible for an ordinary person to have inner demons.
Among them, the most common was the so-called "eternal second place" in sports competitions.
"The Himalayas? What's your relationship with Kamar-Taj? "
As a Mage, it was impossible for Dum not to know about Kamar-Taj's existence.
"Ancient One is my teacher!"
With that, Rogge stretched out his right hand and opened a small portal that only allowed one's arm to pass through.
This portal magic was one of Mage Kamar-Taj's signature spells.
Just like the Ninja School's Triple Body Technique, a Mage who hadn't learned the portal magic couldn't be considered a real Mage Kamar-Taj.
After hearing that Ancient One was his teacher and confirming the portal magic with his own eyes, Dum dispelled his suspicion that Rogge was Mephisto's subordinate.
Although he was still wary of Rogge, one thing he could confirm was that Rogge was a student of Ancient One and couldn't be one of Mephisto's men.
The name of the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One, was still very convincing in the Extraordinary World, especially the Magic World.
"Tell me about your plan. If it's reliable, I don't mind going to Hell with you once."
Dum took the initiative to ask about Rogge's plan.
Rogge didn't hide anything and told him about the plan that originally belonged to Dum and Doctor Strange in his memory.
But this time, the person who joined forces with Doctor Destruction Dum was no longer his junior brother, Doctor Strange, but himself.
"The plan sounds feasible, but the specific implementation steps still need to be carefully thought about."
After listening to Rogge's plan, Dum suddenly felt like his train of thought had been completely opened.
All this time, he had only been thinking about how to defeat Mephisto, win the bet, and regain his mother's freedom.
However, he didn't expect that there would be such an alternative way to save his mother.
"I agree to your plan. What do you want in return?"
Dum had investigated Rogge, and of course he knew about Rogge's strange commission "obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"It's very simple. I want all your magic cultivation information."
In the beginning, Rogge intended to get a promise from Dum.
For example, he wanted him to promise that when Thanos attacked Earth, he would go all out against Thanos once, so as to achieve the tactical effect of using "Supervillains" to fight "Supervillains".
However, this reward was quickly rejected by him.
Although the system will recognize the commission reward of the promise type, the problem is that the promise is a kind of reward with no fixed time.
If Thanos never comes to Earth, he won't be able to receive Dum's promise, and he won't be able to get the commission reward given by the system, and he will always occupy the only commission slot.
So, he directly changed his goal and changed the reward to Dum's magic cultivation information.
Although Kamar-Taj doesn't lack this content, most of Kamar-Taj's magic belongs to the category of white magic.
But Dum's magic is different. He is the kind of magic that doesn't refuse.
Whether it is white magic or black magic, he has a lot of it here.
And the commission reward is just a bonus. What he really wants is the ninja coins given by the system.
He now has 660 unspent ninja coins. If he completes Dum's commission, he won't be too far away from 1000 ninja coins.
After he saves 1000 ninja coins, he can exchange the Yin Kyuubi in the system and let Yin and Yang Kyuubi reunite as one.
"You have a big appetite, aren't you afraid of eating too much?"
Dum didn't doubt Rogge.
In his opinion, if Rogge's reward was too low, then there would be a problem.
He wasn't afraid of Rogge's appetite, he was only worried that Rogge wouldn't try his best.
Although the plan proposed by Rogge just now is very feasible, there is only one chance.
If it fails this time, Mephisto will never be fooled a second time.
"A man should have a big appetite and a big dream!"
Rogge replied with a smile.
"No problem, I agree, sign the scroll!"
As soon as Dum finished speaking, Rogge threw the commission scroll that he had prepared long ago.
More than ten seconds later, a new commission appeared in the system's commission page.
"Commission Content: Assist Professor Dum and let Cynthia's soul regain freedom; Commission Status: Incomplete; Commission Reward: 250 ninja coins!"
Dum's commission passed the judgment smoothly, and the system also gave a very reasonable commission reward.
"In a month, we will set off for Hell!"
Throwing the completed commission scroll back to Rogge, Dum set the date of departure.
Going to Hell is not a trivial matter. Even Dum needs to be prepared in advance.
And unlike the previous gambles, Mephisto won't be as easy to talk to as before.
"No problem."
After putting away the commission scroll, Rogge opened the portal back to Konoha's headquarters and left Dum's castle.
After returning to Konoha, he first went to see the Fantastic Four who were adapting to their superpowers, and then teleported from the headquarters to Konoha's hidden village.
Dum is not the only one who needs to prepare in advance.
Before going to Hell, he also needs to prepare well.
And there is one thing he didn't disclose to Dum, that is, he plans to take something from Mephisto.
