I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 191

Brandon, feeling embarrassed, got off the doll and turned to say, "Boss, I'll do my part. Although I've never fought before, this mask is like a new limb to me, and I can fully control its power."

“Brandon, you only have one job now, and you must forbid anyone from finding it.”

Du Jue pointed to the urban girl doll kicking her endorphins.

He then looked at Obito and said, "I'll take care of the agency. As for the gang, there's still Wenda to clean up the mess. These are just problems that can be solved by working a job."

Still skeptical, Oobara couldn't understand where Du Jue could work after returning as the owner of Smile Company. "Work?"

“Yeah, once we become the Wings of the World, we might even have the chance to work for the leader.”

After saying a few words to the urban doll, Du Jue immediately contacted Angela to go to work at the library.

Although ABC is also part of the World Wings, its prestige is clearly different from that of other companies, much like the difference between one association and other associations.

However, Du Jue currently lacks access to capital and cannot even imagine what kind of rewards he would receive for joining the leadership.

Upon hearing this, Oomaru couldn't help but retort, "Why bother working when you're already at this level? Just enjoy life!"

A dark golden light flashed by, and Du Jue's figure had already disappeared.

library.

Technology layer.

Du Jue had just landed when he heard Angela's voice.

"Du Jue, what is that cube? It can actually bring a puppet to life. But wouldn't that make it a non-human, sentient being? Perhaps the leader will discover it."

Angela was clearly very interested in what had just happened in the live stream.

Gabriel, standing nearby, was completely bewildered. He looked at Du Jue, who was eager to try, and said, "Does Du Jue also want to create an artificial intelligence with intelligence? Although this has already happened, I still have to say it's very dangerous."

"Yes!"

Ilya quickly chimed in, "You absolutely cannot... rashly break the taboo!"

"Once the leader makes a decision, there is absolutely no turning back."

Gabriel looked worried. "If possible, it would be better to consult the librarian in the philosophy department."

Gallion? It is indeed a valuable asset of the library.

Du Jue nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said, "Angela, please work on Run Agency. I think the L Nest people are very valuable for recycling, after all, the Seed of Light was launched from here."

Street-side chess and card room.

"No way, Finn, how come only your camera was confiscated? Or did Wendo take it?"

Ellie teased with a hint of schadenfreude, "Then why didn't he kill you?"

Finn hesitated before speaking, "It's probably because of past feelings, but I probably won't be so lucky next time."

The two stopped talking only after Run left the card room.

Run glanced at the group with some displeasure. "So, only the two of you listen to me? The firm is full of rebellious guys."

He then handed out envelopes, bringing smiles to Finn and Ellie's faces.

"I'll be going now, I still have to go do some moving and cleaning work."

Finn carefully put away the envelope and quickly spoke.

Ellie scoffed, "How much does sweeping cost? Besides, information about Smile Company isn't fetching much these days, so everyone's doing their own reconnaissance."

"It's not sweeping."

Finn immediately wanted to prove he wasn't doing menial work, "After all, not everyone in the back alley can afford a car to hitch a ride in, and with energy prices soaring lately, people basically just bury people near houses after they've been killed."

"I helped the new residents find the bodies, dig them up, and clean them up. It was very rewarding. Ellie, do you want to come with me?"

Ellie pouted and rolled her eyes. "I want to investigate Smile Company more thoroughly. By the way, isn't that Wen Duo from our firm? Run, can't you contact him?"

call.

Run took a drag of his cigarette and looked at the sign for the card and mahjong parlor hanging in front of him. It was a five-story building that not only offered a full range of services after a crime, but also had a large number of temporary workers and other jobs. In a short period of time, it had become the center of several streets.

He never imagined that his firm's performance would be stolen by something like this, leaving him only able to make a little money by piggybacking on Smile Company's success.

"Ellie, you're right. If we don't get some big cases soon, the firm will go out of business."

Just as Run had made up her mind, she suddenly saw the notice that had appeared out of nowhere in her hand.

310

Chapter 310 Bells.

Da da da.

Du Jue shook the lucky can and pressed the grenade into the pages of the book. He found that the grenade pages were convenient and easy to use, and he could prepare more while the three people at Run Agency were having a heated discussion.

"Since the target's impression of you is insufficient to pinpoint the location of the consciousness, an invitation-only system will be used this time."

Angela looked at the mass-produced grenade printing with a puzzled expression. "Dujue, can you also make book pages?"

Gabriel, staring at the lucky can, said, "Actually, I've wanted to ask you for a while now. Where did you get so many... magical gadgets? They don't look like the Abnormality at all."

"Truly worthy of being called a deterrent."

Michelle, on the other hand, fully embraced the style of avoiding jack-of-all-trades.

Mirror world.

As Run and the other two pressed their fingerprints on the notice, they noticed that the sky had turned gray and the glass walls of the surrounding shops no longer reflected their figures.

Ellie looked around curiously. "As long as we don't lose our so-called heart, can we take the enemy's pages? This sounds like a wrestling match, but do we only need to take down one person?"

"That's Wen Duo."

Run, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, took a deep breath and stared at Finn, who was still somewhat bewildered. "I knew it. Smile Company wouldn't let a thief get away with it so easily."

Noticing the gazes of the other two, Finn immediately became anxious. "We're going to fight Wendo?! Is this a joke? Is this library some kind of new Smile Company unit?!"

Tear it apart!

The Crusher's serrated teeth instantly crushed Finn's head, the speed so fast that Finn's expression didn't even have time to change.

Ellie raised her hand to cover her face. "I just became an eighth-tier finisher. I should have switched jobs. I wouldn't have come here because I didn't have money."

Spitting out his cigarette, Run glanced at Finn's corpse and gripped his weapon tightly. "Wen Duo, you're such a mature and powerful finisher now. You're a member of the company now, it's the kind of life we ​​all dream of."

Originally, Jun had wanted to use his past pleas for mercy to extinguish this ridiculous thought, but now he felt ridiculous. First, he came here hastily under the pressure of the firm's bankruptcy, and then he had illusions after meeting Wenda.

"Wen Duo, you let Finn go last night just because Smile Company wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop, right?"

Even though they were dealing with high-level enemy finishers, Ellie and Run still had to grit their teeth and attack from both sides in order to survive.

clang!

The Giant Workshop snapped the heavy saw blade that Ellie had desperately cleaved in two, followed by the sound of bones breaking and tiny pieces of blood and flesh splattering all over her face.

Runxin felt despair, but then she remembered hearing Du Jue say that he wanted to be a good person. That was probably just a rhetoric. Compared to her own irrational behavior, Du Jue was definitely the type to clean up the mess.

"I never imagined that even exploiting others required talent."

Faced with a battle he had no chance of winning, Run appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was heartbroken. "When I heard that Finn was spared, I should have decisively eliminated him."

Seeing Run's demeanor, Du Jue realized that the other party mistakenly believed that having one's heart stolen meant death. "Yo, Run, long time no see. You should have known the price when you were trying to pry into Smile Company's secrets."

As Run gasped for breath as if she were starving, she could truly feel the immense pressure of death. "Du Jue, don't presume to know me, but I only now realize the price of being soft-hearted at the end."

"Don't worry, this will only give you nightmares for a few days, you won't die."

Run, who was still trying to maintain his dignity before death, was so surprised that his expression twisted. He looked at Ellie and Finn's carcass in a panic, "You won't die? Is this a company warning, or your personal behavior?"

"No! The company wouldn't do something that increases costs like that. The person handling the cleanup will ignore the risks as long as they get more money!"

Run turned to stare at Du Jue, "Are you going to let us go?"

Du Jue has seen the styles of various companies, and Run's reasoning is indeed correct, but he is the BOSS of Smile Company, so how to deal with him is up to him!

"Let's leave it at that. I'll settle you into the company later."

"Why?!"

Run had just accepted the situation where Du Jue would turn on him without hesitation, and now he couldn't understand the other party's motives. "If they were to kill us, then there would be no risk of Wen Duo's identity as the cleanup man being exposed!"

Run lost control of his emotions, "Du Jue, you were promoted so quickly, I don't believe you understand the principles of the cleanup person at all!"

"You said it yourself, that's the principle of the person who closes things out, not my principle."

Du Jue smiled and lifted the man who had been crushing the card room. "The company plans to reorganize the card room and turn it into a site for maintaining community security. Are you interested?"

Looking at the chilling, crushing saw teeth above her head, Run felt that things were developing very differently from what she had expected!

Smile Company isn't short of money; after all, its profit margin is too high. It's a lifesaver for Run Firm at this moment, but there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Everything Du Jue had just said might have been a joke, so Run couldn't help but question, "Hasn't the company already hired the Second Association to protect its assets? Why are you protecting other unrelated people for no reason?!"

"Irrelevant?"

Avoid using your arms to gather strength, striving to give Run a pleasant death experience: "Do you know why there are daytime shooting stars? Do you know why there are urban taboos? Did you hear that bell?"

Run's eyes widened at the three consecutive rhetorical questions, because he couldn't find any connection between the three questions, let alone answer them!

"In the city, no one can remain unaffected. When someone encounters misfortune, the bell will ring. It is frightening and terrifying, but there is no need to run away, nor to ignore it, and even less to identify who it is ringing for. It is ringing for you and me."

In that instant, Run understood what Du Jue wanted to say—"I want to be a good person," and exclaimed, "You really are, you haven't changed at all!"

Phew!

[Angela: Recovery complete.]

In reality, it's a card and chess room.

"Yes, pack up everyone in the firm who's unconscious."

Shamisen skillfully directed the EMOJI team members to gather the unconscious victims and rush to the next location without stopping.

Upon answering Du Jue's call, Sanmisen exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, how did you do that? All the staff in these agencies are unconscious! This technique is simply unbeatable! They're lying there all crookedly, just like in the kitchen!"

"The kitchen?"

Having just swept through all the firms near the company with great intensity, Du Jue was still a little unsatisfied. Unbeknownst to him, he was now able to sweep through low- to mid-level finishers simply by virtue of the tattoos etched into his body.

"Yes, didn't I tell you I used to be a cook?"

As the truck drove away, Shamisen led the remaining team members to the card room. "Seriously, are we really going to clean up the gangs in the card room? They also generate revenue for the company."

Having emerged from the sewers, Du Jue planned to drive to the Sixth Association in the South, not wanting to keep Section Chief Shao waiting too long. "Why would a cook like you go and become an assassin for the Fourth Association when you were doing so well?"

"You tell me why? Because that idiot owes me wages."

Shamisen spoke with a hint of anger, "Every time we receive ingredients, we have to grade them; every dish we make has to be graded; and even the wages we receive have to be graded!"

"I hate having so many complicated levels. I always cut meat in the easiest places, but every time that idiot criticizes me for being inferior, he even made me pay for it after I accidentally cut his precious son. It's just because I didn't fix the fancy knife properly."

Shamisen cursed viciously, "Then I chopped this idiot to pieces! Then I ran into a member of the Four Association who came to finish off the assassination. She was a workaholic and very unhappy that I killed the target first, so she gave me some money as hush money."

“Boss, you probably won’t believe it, but someone who does assassinations is actually so upright. She was so generous with the money. I kicked the kitchen sink and ran off with Yoo Jin right then and there.”

Shamisen kicked open the door to the card room, ignoring the abruptly frozen atmosphere. "If it weren't for what happened later, I wouldn't have joined Green Walk. It was the second worst job I've ever had!"

At this moment, Du Jue did not respond to the shamisen because he had suddenly received a new message.

[Olivia: Damn it! Why didn't anyone tell me you were coming back, Du Jue?! I was in the escape room theater with my friends! You had to let me know if you were home, Du Jue!]

"A secret theater?"

Du Juejue was a little puzzled by the place name.

Upon hearing this, Shamisen replied, "Boss, you're interested? I don't understand why Ring has time to do this kind of thing when gangs are fighting. I heard that play starts tonight."

【Absolutely avoid: What kind of friends?!】

How did Olivia end up in the Ring's territory? Du Jue was a little worried, but the other person was just young, but her intelligence was normal. It must be that her friend had a problem.

Bang!

A loud bang came from the other end of the communicator, bringing Du Jue back to his senses.

The strange sound of the shamisen rang out: "Uh, BOSS, someone's causing trouble here, wanting to play another round with Wendo."

Boom!

"Damn! This guy is a Blood Demon!"
