I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 180

He then realized that what had happened earlier was indeed a huge secret to Yuri, and it was understandable that she was worried that he would kill her.

Swish swish!

A sheet of A4 paper was printed with the image of a hand grenade. Du Jue took a moment to comfort the somewhat introverted girl, saying, "Don't worry, if I really wanted to kill you, it wouldn't be for the sake of secrecy, but to save the daily wage of 100 million eyes."

Upon hearing this, Yuri choked up with grievance, but didn't dare to stop working. "Well, it's not like I asked for a salary. Actually, I'd be perfectly content with 100 million eyes a month. I'm really cheap and durable!"

Du Jue, who couldn't help but laugh, immediately felt a headache coming on and lost all interest in joking with the other person.

The battlefield downstairs.

Once Goza fully understood the way these metal insects moved, he immediately turned around and shouted angrily, "Block the roads! Watch out for the lead insect; that guy is the manipulator!"

She turned around and cleaved all the approaching metal worms in two with a single sword strike, then stepped out with her right foot and crushed them. "I don't believe these worms can keep going like this. Call all members of Section 5!"

The two associations specialize in conservation. The finishers wielded their double-edged swords so tightly that they couldn't catch the giant cockroaches in the short term, but the smaller insects could only bite any finishers who accidentally got separated into their own bodies into honeycomb corpses.

"Be careful not to let them climb onto your body, otherwise you'll be easily distracted and attacked!"

Boom!

The metal cockroach suddenly moved, easily smashing through a six-story building. It was crushed by countless bricks and stones connected by steel bars, leaving only a mark on its back.

The two associations in front of it were all forced to retreat.

Seeing the situation was turning against him, Langdon didn't wait any longer. No matter how strong his ability to conjure metal insects was, it couldn't withstand the opponent's desperate attempt to decapitate him. After all, for the person in charge of finishing things up, the mission was of paramount importance. "Everyone, go back!"

The insectoids, locked in fierce combat, hastily retreated, only to be met with a dense swarm of tiny metal insects that rushed in to halt the enemy's pursuit.

"Damn! Is it overloaded?"

Langdon, who was simultaneously controlling a large number of small insects, covered his head, feeling the voices in his mind becoming more and more focused and clear.

He nervously ordered the giant cockroach to spread its elytra and crawl inside, looking somewhat flustered. "This Wen Duo is a bit strange. Did he kill everyone who went up there?!"

"No, we have to leave first and kill that bastard Will from the military court. I'll tell the minister later. I don't believe that old guy will be unmoved when he hears that Wendo killed so many of our people!"

Langdon, who was maneuvering the giant cockroach to charge, ignored the soldiers who hadn't returned in time. He was extremely annoyed that the extra mission had failed, all because of that damn Wendo.

Can't you just obediently come to him?!

Boom! !

The heavy spear that fell from the sky instantly pierced through the retracted giant elytra, and the visible shockwave and spiral patterns paralyzed the giant cockroach on the ground.

The manned cabin under the elytra was instantly twisted and deformed.

Du Jue, who had neutralized the recoil, looked up and saw Langdon staring at him in disbelief, along with a group of incredulous insectoid soldiers beside him. "So you're called Langdon, right?"

thump!

Langdon decisively severed the cockroach body between himself and Du Jue. Seeing the monstrous strength that the other party unleashed and his unharmed appearance, he realized that Wen Duo was not the second-tier finisher he had imagined.

"Wen Duo, the finisher, I actually invited you at the behest of the Void Fist, but I have to carry out a mission now. Until we meet again."

Langdon, having uttered those words, frantically manipulated the front half of the cockroach he was in.

The severed cockroach half-body instantly transformed into a giant cricket, its metal limbs emitting a teeth-grinding crunching sound as it charged up.

“You’re here and you want to leave?!”

Instead of simply reaching out and flinging out the workshop's binding wire, they precisely tied the cricket's right leg.

Although Langdon was terrified upon seeing this, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to capture the other party alive, and disregarded the side effects, he began to manipulate the new giant insect under his feet.

Bang!

The colossal metal cricket was like a demolition roller, its frantic high-speed movement leaving the Gezha behind helpless. After all, who would have thought that these insectoids would dare to act so recklessly inside their nest?

"Hmph! If you've got the guts, don't let go!"

Turning his head to look at Du Jue, who had smashed a huge hole in the road, Langdon immediately increased the force of the cricket's jump, intending to crush the metal insect if it let go.

Realizing he had the rhythm under control, Langdon immediately tried to cut the string wrapped around the cricket's right leg, but when he raised his hand, he found a notice in his hand. "What is this?!"

The hidden dragon should not be used!

The three consecutive landings generated a lot of buzz for Du Jue, and at that moment he could even clearly see the giant cricket's metallic contortions resembling bulging muscles.

Swish!

With a sudden tug on the workshop's binding wire, Dujue leaped onto the cricket's back, while his other hand grabbed the freshly made book and flung it at Langdon's face, which was gradually showing signs of surprise.

Tread.

Du Jue, who had just landed, felt time quickly return to normal and snapped his fingers in front of Ge Zha and the rest of the Second Association who had arrived later.

Snapped.

The grenades sealed within the pages of the book overwhelmed Langdon's mind.

Rumble!

Various grenades that were in the activated state paused for two or three seconds before exploding like a chain reaction.

Countless thin sheets of iron flew out from the orange-red light, and the heat wave and shockwave that followed were instantly obscured by the intense flash, causing everyone to look away.

The entire metal cricket was engulfed in flames, and tear gas mixed with thick smoke spread in all directions.

293

Chapter 293 Fraud.

The explosion left behind a pile of charred scrap metal. Du Jue immediately began searching frantically, ignoring his red-hot fingers. Following the guidance of the silver star block in his pocket, he finally dug out the silver star fragment.

The moment he touched it, he heard the chief's familiar but faint voice, but it quickly disappeared.

Snapped.

When you gently place the fragment on the silver star, it immediately adheres perfectly.

[Objective: Langdon recovery complete]

[Prevent this. This silver fragment seems to have a gathering effect on the Seed of Light, in other words, it amplifies the holder's emotions and may even affect reality like Langdon did.]

However, the specific implementation seems to be based on Langdon's thinking; otherwise, making giant insects out of metal would be a very inefficient and meaningless approach.

"is it?"

Du Jue touched the silver star block in his pocket with a serious expression. "Perhaps it would be safer to store it in the library, but even then, it's hard to guarantee that the silver star itself won't pose a danger."

[No problem, the library can have an extra floor. Remember the devices headquarters used to suppress anomalous entities? I think using them to control Silver Star is much safer than preventing you from carrying it alone.]

"Makes sense."

After transferring the Silver Star Block to the library via the pre-notification letter, Du Jue, feeling instantly relieved, quickly took Yuri, who had just come downstairs, to the hamburger shop.

Yuri looked suspiciously at the military green tarpaulin above. "Lord Wenduo, is this person really still alive after suffering such serious injuries?"

"Just take it down and see."

Although Angela said that the other person would only be unconscious for a day or two in this situation, Du Jue is not quite sure about the other person's current condition.

Using the wall as a springboard, he climbed up, making sure not to bring Huo Kexiao, who was still lying down, down with the insect-like limbs on Huo's right arm clearly visible.

The tiny insect's limbs, when magnified, had an indescribable sense of strangeness, especially when it was attached to a person's body, which made Yuri, who was hurriedly bringing over a folding ladder, frown slightly in fear.

However, once she thought about how to prevent the entire building from being breached, she put aside these useless thoughts.

"Dude, wake up."

He placed Huo Kexiao on the dining table and tried to pat his face, but was drawn to the shards of glass that had spilled out of the other man's pocket. Upon closer inspection, he found several broken ampoules covered in familiar endorphin residue.

Du Jue then noticed the other person's eyelashes flutter slightly. "You're awake, but still pretending to be asleep?"

"I, I've already said what I don't need."

Huo Kexiao opened his eyes weakly, his pupils unfocused. "Now you have annihilated my troops and officers. Now I am a stray dog, or rather, an insect hiding in a corner."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm after your remaining value!"

"what?!"

Even Huo Kexiao, who had just vaguely watched the street battle, did not expect Du Jue to say such a thing. What did he mean by taking a liking to his remaining value?

Click.

The lights in the store suddenly dimmed. Du looked up in confusion and asked Yuri to ask her. Then he persuaded her, "You know what Smile Company does, right? They'll make a comic about the insect people and ride on the popularity of the urban girl. Who knows, someone might even get insect transformation surgery."

“Discrimination is not a problem at all, and Smile Company is just about to expand and needs cheap mercenaries like you who have no one to rely on.”

Just then, Yuri rushed back and quickly explained, "The shopkeeper thinks that insects, like moths, are attracted to light, so he turned off the lights hoping we would go to another bright place."

Hey!

How come you can think so quickly in this kind of situation?

"Did you hear that? Get up now."

Du Jue didn't want to cause trouble for the store manager, since he was the one who broke the burger sign. He had to leave quickly, otherwise the manager wouldn't have the money to compensate him.

Huo Kexiao hesitated for a long time before finally grasping Du Jue's outstretched hand. "But I have to report to the minister. After all, this is the procedure."

"Row."

Just as Du Jue was about to turn and leave, he saw Ge Zha standing at the door with a group of people cleaning up. The other party stared intently at Huo Kexiao, and then turned to look at him.

Wiping the blood off his two-handed swords, Goza spoke in an unfriendly tone: "Wenda, you want to join an association, right?"

Central Association, D Nest Site.

"Wen Duo, the person in charge of closing things up, it's good to see you safe and sound. Your status has been changed from missing to active - Section 1 of the Sixth Association."

Upon receiving the new certificate, it was immediately noticed that many people at the office were looking over.

"Your identity is actually real, but if you want to take this bug away, you'll have to pay a fine."

Afterwards, Ge Zha's attitude towards Du Jue immediately improved, but he still looked at the insectoid next to Du Jue with disgust, "It's not directed at you, but this is the rule of the Second Association."

She apologized very politely for the previous misunderstanding, making Du Jue feel that this guy was a completely different person. "We can't let every troublemaker leave without paying a price, especially those dangerous individuals who have repeatedly caused damage."

Seeing that Huo Kexiao could not explain himself and lowered his head, Du patted him on the shoulder with a consolation, "No problem, I just need to make a phone call."

Fortunately, he still remembered Omadara's phone number, and confidently dialed it directly using the communicator he bought with the money he borrowed from Kazama, hoping that Omadara wouldn't turn his back on him.

"who are you?"

"It's me, Wen Duo. I ran into some trouble and was buried under the ruins of the L Company branch. I just got out recently. Anyway, I damaged some streets and need some compensation. As long as you transfer the money first, I'll..."

Damn, why did it hang up?

Goza's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "If it were me, I would hang up too. Your behavior is too much like that of a scammer. No wonder people are prejudiced against you. I suggest you just have a video call."

I tried calling back immediately, only to find that I had been blocked.

This guy has a pretty strong sense of fraud prevention!

After borrowing Geza's communicator, Du Jue finally managed to contact the other party and was greeted by a cramped office.

Sitting properly behind his desk, Oomon looked very kind, and a yellow smile badge hung on his company uniform. "It's a pleasure to meet the esteemed head of the fourth section of the Chubu Second Association, Uta. Hmm? And you are...?"

Hearing this smooth, long greeting, Du Jue looked at Ge Zha with confusion, wondering if the two of them knew each other.

Gorza simply shook his head at this, "Do you really think there's any data security or privacy protection in the city? I bet some scoundrel sold off all the contact information he could find before leaving the company."

She got very angry when she mentioned this, saying, "This kind of rotten apple spoils the whole bunch, it's absolutely despicable!"

He quickly pointed the camera at himself and said helplessly, "Tailband, that number was mine. Hurry up and send some money over, or I won't be able to leave this place."

Upon seeing Du Jue dressed in bandages and an eye patch, Wei Ban looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know how many people claim to be Wen Duo who want the company to send them money? Of course, there's also Wen Duo who's on the verge of death and wants to see City Girl one last time."

"To put it bluntly, there are more people trying to pry into company secrets for all sorts of reasons than cockroaches in a back alley. And Wen Duo is indeed missing, but not in D's Nest. I hope you can get the information straight before you speak. You have no professional ethics as a corporate spy."

Upon hearing this, Du Jue finally understood. The disintegration of Company L must have caused chaos and monsters to fly around in the L Nest, otherwise, Wei Ban wouldn't have done this.

Swish!

He pulled out his signature Crusher, and with each swing he drew gasps from those around him. He casually showed off his newly replaced Cleaner ID, "Do you really need me to stand in front of you to believe me? By the way, did Index Finger cause any trouble for City Girl? After all, I wasn't here."

When this was mentioned, Oo-Ban suddenly fell into an odd silence, making Kaza and Yuri next to him think the video had stopped, and then the screen went black.

"Wen Duo, you didn't get fired by Smile Company, did you? There's no friendship between you and the company's executives. She probably stole your endorsement fees while you were missing, and now that she sees you alive, she wishes you were dead."

The poem, written in a tone of profound knowledge, offered words of comfort and reassurance.

Suddenly, Dujuan's communicator rang. As soon as he answered, he heard Obito's anxious, suppressed voice urging, "Quickly, find a safe place to talk! I need to verify your identity!"
