I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 141

The thought of questioning the leader made Song Ya break out in a cold sweat. "Flo, but this doesn't make sense."

Swish!

Song Ya turned his head and saw Du Jue mercilessly sever half of Flo's body.

"Damn! How come there are so many impurities?!"

Du Jue, who had sheathed his sword, looked around and felt that he couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise those employees with distorted perceptions like Song Ya would probably die very quickly.

He immediately ordered Song Ya, "Song Ya! Follow me!"

224

Chapter 224 Annihilation.

"No! I've had enough of this living in constant fear!"

"My goal in all my efforts was to live a peaceful life with my friends, but now that they're all dead, what's the point of obeying them anymore?!"

Song Ya, tears streaming down his face, roared in anger, which made Du Jue feel a sense of familiarity and disorientation.

This was clearly the image of the other party's breakdown that he had seen in the conference room, and Du Jue's face darkened as he clenched and unclenched his right hand, which was gripping the Blood-Nourishing Sword.

"Song Ya, calm down. Just listen to me, and you'll find out what happened!"

Song Ya angrily slapped away Du Jue's outstretched hand. "Do you even believe this kind of bluff and prevarication?! They're dead, and I have no will to live anymore. Give me an explanation now!"

Even though Du Jue understood that the other party's perception was flawed, he still felt wronged and confused after being sprayed with spittle. He was clearly right.

You simply believe that doing something will change everything; all that's missing is for you to put it into action.

Take a step back and stop panting heavily. Force yourself to calm down and not panic or get impatient.

"Think about it, I've handled so many troubles before, and this time will be no different! No matter what happens, Kaji still believes in me!"

Perhaps, as Galion said, he treated his desired vision as merely a light switch to be turned on, hoping that achieving a self-imposed goal would solve everything.

The goal is to prevent the tragedy of Kaji from repeating itself in the city; simply becoming the pinnacle of the city is meaningless.

Blindly rushing towards this goal will only make you more and more impatient, and even your original dream will be distorted. In fact, the closer you get to the goal, the further you are from your true vision.

As his chest heaved violently, Du Jue gradually calmed down, and he had never been clearer about what he needed to do than at this moment.

Being a leader in the city requires not only the courage to take the first step, but also the courage to remain passionate even after clearly understanding the cycle of suffering.

To change a city, one must first confront its changes. To reach the pinnacle of urban life, one cannot escape or ignore urban dwellers, nor can one treat them as stepping stones. Otherwise, what is the point of creating a torture dungeon like Lobotomy Corporation?

Becoming the pinnacle of the city is not something he can achieve alone!

"Phew! I get it, Song Ya!"

Du Jue, having sheathed his Blood-Nourishing Sword, quickly looked around. A large number of monsters were roaming and hunting.

The headquarters at this moment is like a small city, filled with all kinds of shops and buildings, and there are even many physical goods inside, perhaps reproduced according to the memories in the employees' minds.

Enraged, Song Ya was puzzled when he saw Du Jue pushing the smart cart to collect his classmates' heads. "What are you trying to do?!"

“Song Ya, there’s a cognitive distortion here that’s confusing humans with monsters. I need people to suppress this problem. Please help me.”

After laboriously tossing the monster heads into the cart, he perked up at the sound of shouts coming from the east.

"You...you mean all of these are...? But how can you prove it?"

"It's very simple. Do you know about K Company's regenerative ampoules? Or perhaps the personality chip from Green Journey?"

Du patted the blood off his hands, turned to look at Song Ya, and said, "As long as you bring the head to the right place, I can bring the person back to life."

Angela should have the ability to save the brain, albeit through a method like a personality chip that is not widely accepted.

“Follow me, obey my orders, and I will do as I say. When it’s all over, you’ll know they’re all monsters. As the leader, don’t you think it’s simpler and more efficient for me to kill you than to deceive you?”

Du Jue also learned to speak in accordance with Song Ya's perception at this moment, but he guessed that when Galion took office as the tuner, he really thought that the method of annihilation was more efficient.

Hesitantly looking at the heads scattered all over the bottom of the car, Song Ya finally sighed, "Can they really be brought back to life? Du Jue, do you keep your word?"

"Of course!"

Song Ya put away the repentance cross sword and hurriedly stepped forward to push the cart, following Du Jue as they headed east.

Along the way, Du Jue captured several more administrative staff who were mixed up with monsters. They were even collecting human corpses as food reserves.

"Uh, boss, the city is in chaos right now. Why put all the sausages in refrigerated trucks? Wouldn't it be better to put them on a trolley for easy access?" the office worker with the braided hair asked cautiously.

Du Jue was tired of explaining to the monster heads and human corpses stuffed into the carriage, but he still patiently replied, "The situation of the mutation is unknown, so we need to make plans for the future. From now on, you must report to me even when you drink water or eat!"

The group exchanged glances, but nodded helplessly. "Alright, you decide who the representative is."

As the convoy moved forward, Du Jue discovered that the group's cognitive biases were actually different; the clerk seemed to think he was the representative of the Closing Agent Agency.

Perhaps their self-identity is generated according to their expectations, after all, they had already discovered that Song Ya really took good care of those classmates.

Turning the corner, Du Jue came across a huge ranch, where the amber cocoons covering the corpses were rhythmically contracting and expanding.

"Huh? Why are there so many cows here?"

Having calmed down on the journey, Song Ya was somewhat surprised to see this scene, and then discovered the fierce battle in the center of the ranch. "Holy crap! That's the City Star - Crimson Mist!"

clang!

In just one exchange, the Crimson Mist's Crimson Eyes, covered in crimson spider eyes, swept Yu Wen back repeatedly.

"Section Chief Yu Wen! Support from other departments has arrived. Don't risk a direct confrontation!"

Two EGO employees quickly stepped forward to help Yuwen out of the predicament.

Yu Wen took another step forward, "This is inside the nest. If we don't wipe it out in time!"

As she watched the crimson mist raise the Cross of Repentance sword and cleave the newly emerged carapace-like worm-man from the amber cocoon in two, she gritted her teeth and ordered everyone to swarm and attack, "Not only the inhabitants of the nest, but the entire association must be wiped out!"

"This time, I am not a powerless bystander; I can change things!"

puff!

The samurai longsword named Heart of Death seemed to sense Yu Wen's fearless determination, and successfully pierced through the dark red armor of Yin Hong Miu. The trickling blood only made it more ferocious.

Carly's face was completely covered by a stone mask, but her roar allowed those at the ranch entrance to imagine the angry face beneath it.

“I have returned from my suffering, and hatred has brought me back to this place to protect you, but you… neither need my protection nor are you grateful for it!”

"I'm going to destroy everything here... Die!"

Hey!

Upon witnessing this scene, Du Jue immediately understood the situation: it was a clash between an employee with distorted cognition and a minister with core repression, and there was still a test causing trouble!

"Song Ya! You all stay put and stand by. No one is allowed to approach except me!"

With that, Du Jue rushed into the battlefield and immediately saw Carly wearing amber gauntlets that she had somehow acquired. The EGO weapon was exactly the same as the one Lin Enjing used, but it was rapidly growing larger.

"Golden Flash, charge!!!"

The amber cocoon blocking the way was almost instantly shattered by that golden punch, and the shockwave even plowed a hideous ravine into the ground, about to crush the fish, who had no time to retreat, into mincemeat.

Hey!

This is a completely different version from the one used by our employees!

In a moment of panic, Du Jue hastily pulled out the workshop's binding thread from his sleeve and immediately began to reveal himself.

225

Chapter 225 Blood Mist.

The illusory sardines now had physical form, vying to cover Du Jue's body, forming blood-stained bandages that gave him a suffocating feeling of being bound.

The prototype of the bound person instantly wrapped up Du Jue into a bloody mummy.

"Stop! You actually dare to stand in my way!"

Carly roared and instantly crushed Fishman's right hand bone with her amber gauntlet.

Swish!

A light red bandage instantly wrapped around Yu Wen's terrified right arm, and then Du Jue yanked her away to the right.

thump.

Du Jue hurriedly grabbed the fish that was flying towards him and immediately shouted at everyone, "Everyone! Get away from the Crimson Mist!"

Yu Wen quickly snapped out of her daze in Du Jue's arms and exclaimed in surprise, "President?! Why did you come in person? The enemy's strength is far beyond our expectations. We need to reconsider our tactics!"

Before he could respond to Yu Wen, Du Jue's pupils contracted when he saw the portal that opened in front of Carly. He immediately turned around and found that she had teleported to the edge of the ranch and was charging towards them again.

"I am protecting you. If you can't even understand that, then neither you nor your protection has any reason to exist!"

With a thick mist of blood emanating from her, even Carly's screams became difficult to hear.

Meanwhile, a large number of clerical staff were still fighting against the beetles, wondering why their colleagues had been manipulated by the crimson mist.

The crusher, having already managed to grab the two giant, armored insects that were trying to approach, smashed them to pieces. The monster's terrifying vitality caused it to continue crawling slowly even after most of its body was broken.

"President?! You're crazy! Those are Timon and Proud from the First Division!"

Yu Wen, who was still fixing the bones in her right hand, looked on with horror and resentment. "They were the ones who stopped the Crimson Mist just now."

"No time to explain, now listen to me, everyone get out of the way!"

Pushing aside the furious Yuwen, Du Jue anxiously grabbed the numerous bandages covering his body with both hands and flung them forward forcefully.

The light, blood-stained bandages wrapped around the unsuspecting office workers almost instantly, while Carly's figure followed closely behind, her golden fists effortlessly crushing through all the living and dead creatures in front of her.

"Holy crap!! This is the real-life idiot!"

An unimaginable, excruciating pain struck instantly. Du Jue, who was completely unprepared, immediately collapsed to the ground. He gritted his teeth and hugged his bandaged body, only then realizing the power of the original form.

Those who are bound and practice asceticism suffer for the sake of others.

Du Jue almost immediately discovered that his repeatedly shattered body was still able to move, simply because he was now in control of the blood-stained bandages rather than his physical form.

"What?! What...what happened? I'm perfectly fine!"

The clerks who had been knocked over all stared in astonishment at themselves and the tough bandages binding them.

Many people got up and looked back curiously, only to find that the crimson mist, with its huge ravines, had arrived in front of Du Jue. "Wait, that's the store manager! Isn't today payday?"

Boom!

Du Jue, who had just stood up, was immediately knocked back down after spinning several times. He had never felt his body so fragile before. The bandages that had been loosened twisted and tightened, binding Du Jue tightly.

"Protect? What can't Shen Yan do!"

Carly, once again wielding the Cross of Repentance and the Crimson Hammer, turned around angrily, "Extinction! You will only perish in this endless plunder, just like I once did, because there are no sandcastles that last forever on the beach!"

"And they won't even understand or remember you!"

shhhhhh!

Three bandages wrapped around Carly's arms and neck, causing her to raise her cross sword to sever them, only to find them too tough and only slightly damaged.

"What does this have to do with me!"

I've never used such a terrible prototype before. It feels like my skull is soft; I wonder if it's mixed with pig brains.

A surge of rage towards everything suddenly welled up in Du Jue's heart. He immediately gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill every living thing here and then completely destroy the headquarters.

The extreme anger almost destroyed his ability to think, but Du Jue realized that this was Carly's emotion, and even caused a faint blood mist to appear around him.

The two immediately began to pull and wrestle over the bandages.

"If this is just work, what they think has nothing to do with you! Just do your job!"

The burning rage within Du Jue forced him to think hard before he could speak, "If this were entirely your own idea, then what right do you have to care what they do!"

Upon hearing this, Kali planted the EGO in the ground and gripped the bandages on her body tightly with both hands. "My protection is both unsuccessful and unanswered! Just like when I encountered that damned Galion at the research institute!"

"No one can defend a sandcastle beneath the waves; this place is full of people who deserve to die!"

Tread.

The terrifying, monstrous strength immediately caused Du Jue to stumble, and then he couldn't stop falling towards Carly.

"You might get bitten while protecting a dog, and it might suddenly leave while you're protecting a cat. Don't even think about protecting everyone. If you can't even accept a horse, what are you protecting?"

Just as he was about to crash headfirst into Carly's sword tip, Du Jue suddenly remembered that he was capable of multiple self-expressions.
