I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 140

"Du Jue, you're quite interesting now. But there's no need to apologize now, because I originally planned to wipe out the research institute you set up. I just took advantage of Ilya's betrayal to eliminate them first."

So the trip to Emerald Green was quite lucky. Could it be that extending a helping hand to Ain was just to have more people to take the fall for? Otherwise, why would these shady research institutes be so kind?

Du Jue felt much more relaxed after thinking about this. "All of that is in the past. The important thing is to finish this project as soon as possible so that everyone can have a bright future."

Galion smiled in response, a smile as unpleasant as tea that had gone cold. "Is that so? But I feel that the cycle of the city never ends, and no one can escape it. Aren't you being driven by the past too? Like a donkey pulling a millstone."

"You're right, do you know why? Because I think the city's leader must know secrets and have unique insights."

Without a hint of annoyance, Du Jue rubbed his hands together with a touch of anticipation. "Do you think I have any chance of becoming the head of state?"

"You're quite cute. Let's talk about this again tomorrow."

tread.

Du Jue impatiently blocked her way. "Such a small matter can wait until tomorrow. Let's talk about it now! Although I may have gone astray before, I love the city now, so we can discuss this!"

"Hmph, that's why I always find you quite adorable. You're great in every way, but you're just stubbornly naive."

"Minister, can't you speak normally?!"

Frustrated, Du Jue gripped the hilt of the Blood-Nourishing Sword, feeling that this guy still retained the arrogance of a leader, hiding things that could be said in a few words.

"of course can."

Seeing Du Jue's somewhat tense demeanor, Galion laughed even more heartily, "You are different from those guys who take on responsibility on their own and then break down and commit suicide, and you are also different from those who take other people's goals as their means of survival."

"You simply believe that as long as you do it, you can change everything; all that's missing is you putting it into action. To put it simply, you believe that the stars can grant any wish, and that everyone should try to catch them."

"So you don't understand cities at all, and you still don't."

“That’s not what I want to hear! I’m talking about the methods or standards for becoming a leader, not the kind of thing you get by becoming an employee of ABC Company!”

Du Jue was so angry he wanted to take action, but unfortunately the other party was his boss.

Garion then suppressed all his smiles. "Well then, I'll demonstrate for you tomorrow. After all, being a leader isn't something that can be explained in a single sentence."

"Demonstration?"

This answer left Du Jue completely bewildered.

"Garrion, are you kidding me? This is headquarters that even the leader hasn't discovered yet!"

"If you want to become a leader, you should first get rid of the impossibility in your mind. See you tomorrow."

As Galion passed by, he carefully examined Du Jue's eyes.

Du Jue felt uneasy under the stare and couldn't help but take a step back, asking suspiciously, "What are you looking at? And how can you be so sure I'm Du Jue?"

Weren't all the clones of the Blind Society female back then? Besides, his appearance now is not exactly the same as it was many years ago. After all, a person's temperament can greatly affect other people's memories.

"Because I believe that you are all in the urban cycle, without exception."

This time, Du Jue did not stop the other party from leaving, because the demonstration that Galion had given him was truly unfathomable.

"Miss Angela, what do you think?"

Perhaps she meant the core suppression of the R&D department. In fact, Galion is aware of our plans to some extent, and she manages the wells that can retrieve the anomalies.

Galion wants to see us fail again and again; it's her twisted sense of humor, so ignore it.

Also, regarding the previous exchange of supplies, I received some communications about you.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, Du Jue quickly took out his long-unused communicator.

[Shao: Company L? But aren't you working for Company K? I've never seen anyone as busy as you at finishing up.]

[A: Wow! How did you even get to World Wings? Hurry up and give me a backdoor, I'll even do odd jobs for you.]

[Olga: Now I have another friend in World Wings. You wouldn't disappear as soon as you joined like Myo, would you?]

[Harold: We're looking to wrap things up. Our association is in dire need of staff right now. If you're interested, you can join us. I personally think you have the potential to become a leading figure.]

[Elena: That annoying blood demon is finally gone. You should thank me; I drove away quite a few blood demons around here beforehand.]

This message immediately reminded Du Jue of the red dress. No wonder this guy didn't find him right away; he was distracted by Elena, who was in cat form.

After flipping through several selfies by Olivia and Katae, I came across a photo of a vegetarian feast.

[Yi Yin: That group of people from the association has finally quieted down, and all the chefs' restaurants have reopened. Mom, are you free to go out for a meal? There are some new trendy dishes now.]

[Lesti: Finally! After all this work, I can finally get down to business. To be honest, the daily training is so boring! But I'm really curious about what L Company is like inside. Do they give out endorphins for free?]

[Ootori: Why are the people from Index Finger showing up? Didn't you say they wouldn't interfere? I hate doing business with these lunatics; they have absolutely no understanding of the art of management.]

[Brandon: Uh, Boss, there's a problem with the Urban Girl Q&A segment. While you were away, all the viewers received the instructions to answer questions. Was that part of your plan?]

[Shamisen: Boss, you're awesome! I love dealing with gangs; there aren't so many complicated things going on, and besides, these messengers are pretty easy to talk to.]

[Pala: Did you join Company L? People from big companies have been coming to the depreciation team lately; it seems material wealth doesn't affect the size of the emptiness in people's hearts.]

Du Jue, who had been browsing information, soon fell asleep, feeling that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner and that the work at headquarters would soon be completed.

Startled awake by the alarm clock, Du Jue quickly put on her colored contact lenses and immediately saw Angela's reminder.

Please report to Central Headquarters.

However, Galion's voice suddenly came through the headset, "Except for Du, please come to the disciplinary department. Let's begin today's... cycle."

223

Chapter 223 Twisted.

Central Headquarters.

After much deliberation, Du Jue ignored Galion's words. Who knew what she was up to? Anyway, Angela was watching.

"Oh, it's you, Du Jue."

Wearing a dark yellow dress, Lisa crossed her arms and looked at Du Jue, stomping her bow-tied Martin boots with a hint of displeasure. "Let me tell you beforehand, I'm completely different from other lazy and lax ministers!"

pat.

A strange sound rang out, and the world seemed to slow down. Du Jue felt a familiar sensation, a strange change in time.

Galion's inner voice suddenly resonated within him.

The flow of time cannot be stopped by anyone.

Du Jue felt the slow motion vanish in an instant, and looked up in surprise to find that the alarm at the central headquarters had been raised to the highest level, level three, even though today had only just begun.

"Angela?! What happened?!"

Seeing the bewildered and panicked employees, Du Jue immediately noticed that green shoots were sprouting from the walls and pipes of the lobby.

Lisa didn't have time to give the new employee a hard time; she quickly started directing the chaotic scene.

Bang!

The ferocious, sharp wolf claws instantly pierced through the heavy iron gate of the central headquarters.

[The situation is urgent. Several ministers have entered a state of core suppression, and the Welfare Department has just weakened the suppression of the Reverse Kabbalah.]

"Everyone, stay alert and don't panic!"

The petite Lisa quickly stabilized the situation, "Don't just stand there either."

However, the renewed echo in her mind left even the composed Lisa stunned.

The supreme privilege of "leaders," "informants," and "lackeys" lies in manipulating the mysteries of the world.

Du Jue was utterly horrified, realizing this was a sudden test. Ignoring Lisa, he anxiously shouted to Angela, "Why are they all crammed together? Quickly, turn back time!"

[He couldn’t do it. With the help of the Seed of Light, Galion regained the power he had during his time as a Tuner, a singularity technology that could open up everything.]

According to the plan, things can be restarted once everything is over, but at that time, you and the minister and staff will probably have to go through death again.

In fact, headquarters is in disarray. If you think it can still be salvaged, head to the Department of Punishment immediately.

I have informed everyone that you have become the temporary secretary to the department head and staff, and I hope you will…

Hey!

Just as Du Jue was about to take action, he looked up and saw the ferocious giant wolf breaking through the iron gate. It forcefully squeezed into the door frame, twisting and deforming it.

Du Jue turned around hastily, ignoring Minister Lisa's orders, and hurriedly left through the other corridor. The next moment, however, he heard a chilling echo in his heart.

We try to accept them time and time again, no matter the cost, we must understand!!!

Boom!

The floor shook violently, and Du Jue almost stepped off course. Once he regained his balance, he looked incredulously at the surrounding high-rise buildings, the amber cocoons, and the fleshy monsters all around.

"What is this place?!"

Even though he had witnessed countless strange events, the fact that he had been completely transported to a different place in the blink of an eye still left him feeling bewildered.

Suddenly he looked up at the sky and could only see iron-white metal plates, with the ceiling lights faintly visible like stars.

The echoes in his mind suddenly became chaotic. Du Jue felt as if a broken, hoarse radio had been roughly shoved into his heart, "Angela, are you still there? Doesn't the supervisor care about this situation?!"

However, Angela, who should have been present at headquarters, did not respond for a long time.

"I don't want to die here! If I did, would I still be me?! And I can't die here!"

Du Jue felt that the situation at headquarters was deteriorating rapidly, and he was extremely anxious, but he couldn't even find someone to analyze the situation.

no! We can't sit still and wait for death!

Du Jue forced himself to calm down, but then he saw three-legged deformed monsters attacking him from all around, and behind them appeared the figure of a familiar person.

"Song Ya!"

Du Jue exclaimed in surprise, and quickly took out his Thorn Spear to smash the attacking monsters. He now had to find the minister or Angela, otherwise he would not know what was going on.

Upon hearing this, Song Ya, who was running, froze. He gripped the penitential cross sword in his hand angrily and swallowed hard. "Uh, leader, why did you kill my classmates? They didn't violate any taboos at all!"

What the hell? !

Du Jue glanced at the three legs on the ground, confirming that he couldn't possibly be blind. "Have you been corrupted by the anomalies? These are all derivatives of the test, not human!"

Song Ya bit her lip, trying to look up and avoid looking directly at them. "Even if you are the leader, you can't so arbitrarily conclude that they are impurities. I clearly spent my university years with them and made a promise to enter the Wings of the World together."

"Am I an impurity too?!"

Congratulations on your promotion at Company L! You have received a work-related item.

[Work Props: Proof of Self]

[Description: I think, therefore I am]

[Effect 1: Insert this card into your heart, and you will be able to choose multiple part-time job items to showcase yourself.]

[Effect 2: When you enter a state of multiple self-presentation, a pseudo-personality will be generated to carry the excess prototypes.]

[Effect 3: Your reality distortion resistance is greatly increased.]

This unexpected turn of events left Du Jue both surprised and delighted, and he stood there blankly, a rare sight indeed.

What's going on? !

Although Du Jue desperately wanted to see the newly appeared white card in his hand, he had to deal with Song Ya's bloodshot eyes immediately. "I'm Du Jue! Don't you recognize me? And when did I become the head? Wake up!"

Du Jue really wanted to knock the person unconscious with a stick, but with the changes at headquarters, all he had on hand was a small amount of endorphins from a pneumatic injector, which was simply not enough to save the person.

"Of course I know! We used to work together at Company L. Back then, you were perfectly normal. Yesterday, when the whole city issued a notice, I was happy for you to become the head. But why are you doing this now!"

Song Ya's tense body gave Du Jue a faint sense of threat, as dark red thorns spread from both of his arms.

Has the headquarters not only changed in its environment, but also distorted the employees' perceptions?!

The announcement... Could it be about Angela promoting me to be her temporary secretary?

"Wait, Song Ya! These aren't human, they're monsters! Can't you see it has three legs?!"

Looking at the Confession Cross Sword in Song Ya's hand, Du Jue suddenly realized that the headquarters' suppressor had been downgraded, which meant that the power of EGO and the Abnormality would be restored to most of its original state.

He kicked those three legs away one by one, trying to make Song Ya understand the current situation.

"What are you talking about?! Isn't this just a human being? What's wrong with having three legs?"

Song Ya trembled with rage as he looked at the corpse of his classmate, whom Du Jue had so humiliated.

"Song Ya, don't do this. We can't disobey the leader. You know the consequences."

A man with a slicked-back hairstyle quickly approached Song Ya from behind, bringing him back from his irrational, furious state.
