I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

"Staying to spy on company secrets is strictly prohibited!"

Ilya quickly put the stack of papers into the shredder, her lively demeanor now tinged with shyness at having her secret exposed. "Du Jue, you should go back. I'm very busy here!"

Du Jue was somewhat speechless. It was Ilya who had just asked him to stay, but he didn't refuse and was escorted out of the office by Ilya.

"I'm confident that this task will be completed successfully. Let's work together!"

After a hurried, eager wave, Ilya quickly retreated back into her office.

Du Jue turned around and responded, then saw the words displayed on the contact lens.

Let's all work together! Please continue with your work regarding the head of the training department.

Training Department.

"Oh, so you've already finished the suppression?"

Michelle looked at Du Jue, who had changed into a new shirt, with some surprise, noticing that his windbreaker and jeans were still in good condition. "...I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting as well."

"Of course, Minister! Shouldn't we get back to work?"

Upon hearing this, Michelle's expression immediately became somewhat troubled, but she still managed a forced smile. "You're right. However, normally the department only needs to focus on employee training and development, which already has a mature system in place. We only need to handle unexpected situations."

"But I heard that you, Minister, have done a lot of extra planning because you care about your employees. Isn't that also a key part of your work?"

Without further ado, Du continued, "Why don't we submit the previous plan to the supervisor and see his opinion? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the minister's good intentions?"

Just then, the electronic screen displayed the conference room scene, and Angela's voice came through.

“Michelle, do you remember Tiffany?”

Michelle replied with some confusion, "Angela, what happened? I think these are the names of employees from other departments."

"You don't need to remember this anymore. Tiffany went to a psychologist after get off work yesterday, and then died in her dormitory due to hallucinations caused by endorphin addiction."

Angela's emotionless words made Michelle frown with anxiety.

However, Angela continued, "Employees only expect to obtain medication from mental health clinics without the comfort of a psychologist. This project is simply creating individuals who are dependent on medication. Therefore, this project is terminated."

With Du Jue present, Michelle still managed a smile. "It seems... my plan still needs improvement, but I won't let her sacrifice be in vain..."

Angela did not comment on this.

"But if we cancel it, the employees' psychological problems will still exist. Minister, perhaps you could come up with a better plan?"

Du Jue felt a pang of pity looking at Michelle, but still picked up where she left off.

"Actually... I just wanted to help every employee. I really gave a lot."

Michelle lowered her head, looking like a frightened squirrel. "Maybe I should change the therapy clinic into a book club?"

After joining the Carmen Institute as its youngest member, Michelle witnessed her colleagues die one after another from inhumane experiments. She then informed the leader, but unexpectedly, the leader massacred the institute as a result, and she eventually committed suicide.

The ministers you see now have all undergone brain resuscitation and personality chip modification; in other words, they are people who have experienced death, and it takes the things they least want to face to shake them.

Don't wait until you've finished reading to realize that Michelle wasn't like Ilya, who was determined to prove herself by pursuing one project after another. After all, being the youngest member of the suburban black research institute was quite prestigious. She simply wanted to offer help.

After all, Michelle wasn't like the shameless Oozumi; she probably felt very guilty about her betrayal and brought that desire to repay into her management of employees.

At this moment, Du Jue felt that the mental illness rate at headquarters was probably higher than outside, but he still had to cooperate with Angela. "The book club's plan is full of the minister's unique creativity, and I agree with it very much."

"why?"

Michelle probably felt that the word "pioneering" wasn't a good thing, and asked in confusion.

"Although book clubs are not appealing to exhausted office workers and employees, they can keep them under control and prevent a recurrence of Tiffany's incident."

Michelle shut her mouth dejectedly at the mention of Tiffany.

"Of course, the minister's plans are definitely not limited to this. Maybe a fight club will be opened next to the book club. Anyway, the headquarters has a large number of recycled ampoules, enough for employees to vent their inner pressure with violence."

Angela, of course, approved the new project without a doubt.

Michelle nodded quickly after hearing this, "Yes, I did have that idea, but it seems I don't directly help the employees, since I don't box. If it's a book club, I can share and recommend works to everyone."

A thoughtful employee needs to accurately grasp their boss's needs!

It's clear that Michelle prioritizes her ability to help her employees face-to-face, which is probably why she ignored the risks of endorphins and continued to run her mental health clinic.

"That's simple. The minister only needs to act as the referee for the fight. After all, it's just an amateur match for venting. The minister can recite some poems of praise for the winner. I think you can use this to let the employees feel the minister's recognition and care."

Michelle hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement, then gently thanked Du for the suggestion, "Thank you for your advice. I'm not really good at management... but I'll do my best."

If headquarters retained its memories after ten years of reincarnation, then there would be no way to prevent such things from happening here. However, each time the plan restarts, only Angela retains her memories, meaning that for the ministers, it's like running a dungeon without gaining experience.

Moreover, Michelle was working as a researcher when she committed suicide; she had now switched to management, which was not her field of expertise.

"No, no, no. As my superior, Minister, you undoubtedly possess outstanding talent, but you only need a little assistance from me."

Chapter 201 Security Department.

"Um... the disciplinary department wants you to go there immediately to receive your punishment."

Michelle said with some concern, "Even though I told her it was almost time to leave work, Carly still insisted."

Even though it was at the request of other ministers, Michelle nodded apologetically to Du Jue, her long brown hair swaying gently, with a tuft of hair sticking up and down with it.

what?

Du Jue frowned in confusion, wondering how he had offended the head of the disciplinary department, but then he thought about the mental health issues of these people and felt relieved.

"anyone there?"

The office's floor-to-ceiling screen suddenly switched to an image of the security department, showing an absent-minded man sitting half-sitting at his desk, his long green hair pulled back into a bun, and what was striking was that his green right eyebrow was broken in the middle.

“Michelle, the challenges seem to have changed… Have you updated your employee training manual? Could I borrow it from you?”

The man spoke weakly, "Work is so annoying."

Michelle readily agreed, "No problem, Giovanni. I'll send you the new contingency plan right away. Do you need me to send an administrative staff member over to provide guidance?"

"That works too, thanks."

Then the screen went black.

Du Jue was somewhat surprised after watching the whole thing. This green-haired guy was even more uncooperative than the coffee cup manager he had encountered before. At least the blue-haired guy in the welfare department would personally make a trip to the welfare department.

Seeing Du Jue's puzzled expression, Michelle kindly explained, "That's Minister Giovanni from the Security Department. Although he doesn't look very energetic, he's a very nice person."

"The security department is responsible for training new employees into security personnel, predicting potential incidents, and developing operational plans, so they need my help. Please escort the administrative staff there, since a containment breach might occur."

Security Department.

The pale green room features a large screen covering the wall on the left and numerous transport pipes and several transparent storage tanks filled with colorful liquids on the right.

The staff here meticulously confirmed the number of people, their names, and their purpose of visit, but they did not see Giovanni.

Just as Du Jue was about to head to the disciplinary department alone, he heard a rapid alarm sound.

Giovanni's voice came over the loudspeaker, "The anomaly has breached containment. It's troublesome, but we have to suppress it."

Bang!

The lights in the control room and the corridor went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness. Fortunately, the walls seemed to have been coated with a large amount of fluorescent paint, so it was still possible to see roughly.

"It seems the security department is not safe at all."

Giovanni, still showing no sign of anxiety as he left the office, said, "Now go to the right corridor to suppress the escaped 0-02-40 alien entity. Hopefully, the supervisor is sending reinforcements."

Du Jue only heard half of what was said before stepping into the corridor first. After all, he was the strongest employee here and should obviously take on the responsibility of being the vanguard.

Just one glance was enough to give Du Jue goosebumps all over.

It was a huge and abstract black chocobo, with countless yellow pupils that looked like glowing vortexes or crammed together like holes in an anthill, and its slender claws holding an invisible yellow lamp.

[0-02-40 Big Bird]

After breaching containment, a major power outage will occur in the department where "Big Bird" is located. Employees in the blackout area may become possessed by "Big Bird" after it shakes a light, and any possessed employee who comes into contact with "Big Bird" will have their head bitten off by it.

The harm suffered by employees under the spell will be greatly reduced. However, if the spell lasts too long, they will lose control and slowly approach the "big bird".

The possessed employee will return to normal once they leave the area affected by the power outage.

Hey!

Noticing the invisible lamp rising, Du Jue quickly turned around and anxiously reminded the employees who had followed him to retreat back to the security department. However, the soft yellow light still illuminated the entire corridor, and an extraordinary fear enveloped his heart.

The fluorescent walls have all disappeared, replaced by a dark forest where countless enormous monster silhouettes crawl through the woods.

The profound darkness prevented him from even seeing the ground, and he lacked the courage to take a step, simply because he couldn't be sure whether he was walking on a deep abyss or flat ground.

coax!

The brand suddenly appeared on the ground, and the orange-red light dispelled a large area of ​​darkness.

"You think you can scare me with such a simple trick!"

Du Jue, who had just drawn his thorn spear, hurriedly turned around to defend himself, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

A colossal celestial body, beyond logic and imagination, stood motionless before his nose. It was so large that it made all thoughts of suppressing the mind seem insignificant and disappear, and made everything around him appear as insignificant as dust.

The rings of pure black circles on it stared into Du Jue's eyes, then took control of his heart and legs, the ultimate power crushing the concept of resistance.

The indescribably huge yellow eye made Du Jue involuntarily lift his foot and walk towards it. Even the mark on his body quickly went out, leaving only that eye and the yellow light in the entire space.

puff!

He grabbed his right eye and crushed it, struggling to close his eyelid in pain, but his remaining left eye was already captured by the dim light and he couldn't get rid of it.

Another viscous popping sound rang out as Du Jue viciously crushed the remaining eyeball once more.

Du Jue, who had been plunged into blindness and darkness, hurriedly took out a blindfold and quickly covered himself with it. Instantly, his vision in the corridor returned, and he was less than three steps away from the giant bird anomaly!

The bird's long, slender beak, like a guillotine, was already open, waiting for him to offer his neck!

"What kind of bullshit bird-head guillotine is this! Die!"

Red Dragon Scales!

Having narrowly escaped death, Du Jue was filled with shock and anger, and countless marks were instantly imprinted on the large bird's yellow eyes, large and small.

That wasn't all. He suddenly exhaled a cloud of smoke, and the incredibly pungent, smoky smoke immediately filled the area in front of him.

Du Jue caught sight of the employees rushing to his aid and immediately shouted excitedly, "Get out of the way! It's going to explode!"

Swish!

The thorn spear pierced the large bird, but no blood was spilled; it simply stopped the bird in place.

The next moment, the strange black bird opened its sharp beak to 180 degrees and lunged at Du Jue.

The distorted brand, along with the billowing smoke, exploded simultaneously. The massive, overlapping flashes of light instantly overshadowed all the alluring yellow light. Even Du Jue had never experienced such a terrifying impact.

Boom!

He flew out like a cannonball.

Du Jue, who had smashed the corridor wall, felt dizzy and disoriented. Just trying to stand up pushed aside countless shattered scales on the ground, and then he was choked by the remaining smoke and coughed violently.

After standing there for a long time, he finally managed to get up with difficulty. Looking down, he saw that the scales hadn't all fallen off. This thing was much more useful than the Duel Exoskeleton in dealing with explosions.

"I'm telling you, are you crazy?"

Giovanni stood there in surprise, pulling his hand out of his pocket and directing the staff to carry out the recontainment work. "I've heard that before. You're quite fond of heroism. You dared to detonate it when you were so close."

He looked Du Jue up and down, clearly puzzled that Du Jue could still stand up. "Although it's a bit troublesome, more employees can solve the problem. You didn't need to make it like this."

He brushed aside the scales tucked into his sleeve and replied incredulously, "Why drag things out when I can handle this quickly and avoid casualties? I'm already this strong, is this thorn spear in my hand just a decorative ornament?"

Giovanni sighed. "Just looking at you makes me feel the pressure of the battlefield... This isn't good. I need to tell my supervisor not to put you in my department."

After saying that, he put his hand that had been giving instructions into his pocket, lowered his head with some worry, and walked back to the minister's office.

Looking at this guy's thin back, Du Jue felt that he was the strangest one among the ministers.

Suddenly he looked up at the electronic clock at the end of the corridor and realized that there were less than five minutes left before the normal closing time.

"Oh no, I haven't been to the disciplinary department yet!"
