"Entering K Nest? Didn't you go there to be a cleanup guy? Just have the firm sponsor a tourist visa for you."

"It's that simple?"

The two stood on the rooftop of the building, enjoying the breeze.

Upon hearing this, Du Jue immediately frowned, recalling his previous conversation with the Vision Agency. Aloko had insisted on doing a six-month mission on his own, and he immediately told Elena about it.

Elena just chuckled and mischievously pinched Du Jue's bright red earlobe.

"It would be difficult for ordinary residents and rats to get into the back alley, but you are a registered and legitimate person in charge of closing things up with the association. If something really goes wrong, people can find you directly without having to go through all that trouble."

"Hmph, these guys just want to exploit your information gap to use you as a tool."

"If it's this difficult to even go out, wouldn't those cleanup crews have had to obediently check my identity at the station if I just hid in my nest before?"

"Furthermore, if you are employed by the Nest's internal affairs office, you can obtain a temporary residence permit for the Nest, which allows you to come and go as you please."

Hey!

Now I understand what it means for an old writer to be a treasure. If I had been foolish enough to listen to others, I might have been led by the nose six months later.

He doesn't have time to waste on these people.

"So you were hiding here!"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you to leave? Even if I wipe out those Blue Square people, Ring will still find out what's going on here."

"Do I need to report to you where I go? You have no right to tell me what to do!"

"And how did you turn from a cat into a human? I haven't settled the score with you for what happened before, so get out of my house right now!"

Elena, standing with her arms crossed, completely ignored Du Jue's words. She lightly patted Du Jue's shoulder, then retreated to the edge of the roof and leaned back, quickly disappearing into the night.

Seeing this, Hui quickly pulled on Hui, who was still angry.

"We may not be able to defeat this blood demon, and she is friends with Senior Du Jue, so there is no need to cause a conflict."

"go away!"

"Hey, you guys quickly jump to the rooftop in front and hide. It looks like someone's coming."

"I do not!"

Just as he was about to reassure Du Jue, he caught a glimpse of someone approaching the large iron gate out of the corner of his eye, and immediately turned around and bent down to observe.

To everyone's surprise, the person who came was a smiling man. Du Jue immediately rushed downstairs and took out his communicator to check if he had missed any messages.

[Lesti: Ughhhh, this bastard company actually made me sign a voluntary suicide statement! It seems even World Wings is like this. I'm sick of all these trap-filled rules and regulations!]

[Olivia: Du Jue-ge, I have a communicator now too!]

[Park Hoi: Thanks, bro. Even though I ended up breaking up with my sister again, she still has a brighter future than me. She's got five fingers!]

[Yi Yin: What's with this bunch of lunatics from the association causing trouble? I probably won't have time to see you lately, I'm dying to see you.]

[Pianjiang: Self-Care for Urban Mental Illness (Txt)]

[Jingmei: You piece of trash, you just leave without even bothering to say goodbye? I'll punch you next time we meet.]

[Finn: Are you there? Olivia's request is complete, but she hasn't come to collect it.]

[Run: What are you doing? You advanced to a fifth-tier finisher so quickly? You didn't bribe a whole association's finishers, did you? I need to make up for that bribe too.]

[Olga: An association sent a notification to the firm that your review was successful. You have to buy me a drink, right?]

[Coco: No way, let's make a deal.]

Hey!

Why are there so many spam messages, and they're all unread?

Avoid constantly searching, only to find the smiling face message when you finally reach the door.

[Wang: Brother Dujue, recently Alley 23 has been targeted by Sections 2 and 3 of an association, making it not very safe here. Smiling Face, I'm going to take a break for a while. I've already sent someone to give you your share.]

The iron gate opened, and a man dressed in dark red with a smiling face respectfully handed a body bag to Du Jue.

"Respected monk, please take a count."

"Also, if we can pinpoint your location, it means the same applies to Ring Finger. You'd better find somewhere else to lay low, buddy."

"Even if Ring Finger is powerful, would he turn the back alley upside down for one person? Old Wang is asking if you know any reliable places. If not, come and hide in our place."

"Can you get into K's Nest?"

"Hehe, actually most of the people on the Smiling Faces team are planning to go to J Nest. It's very easy for us to get gambling visas."

Du Jue was somewhat disappointed. Although it was relatively easy to travel between nests, he didn't want to take the urban train developed by W Company at all.

That thing claims to reach any destination in ten seconds, but in reality, it involves being imprisoned in another dimension for thousands of years, and then using a technology called "current state restoration" to restore all passengers, giving them the experience of arriving in the blink of an eye.

Just thinking about spending a thousand years on a small train is enough to make my scalp tingle, and I might even become twisted myself.

"No need, I have my own plans. However, this contact number may be deactivated. After all, you know that I'm being targeted by the Ring Finger. I will contact the organization through Yi Yin when the time comes."

"Understood, brother. Then I'll take my leave."

Du Jue immediately contacted Olga to inquire about the K Nest travel visa, and paced anxiously back and forth in front of the large iron gate.

Although what I just said may seem like the Ring is insignificant, it is actually a huge organization with influence all over the back alleys of the city, and it is also the City Star that has stood for a long time in the cruel city!

Previously, Du Jue was able to defeat Wim head-on by taking him by surprise, catching the opponent completely unprepared. Now, if the Rings send out a professional team, Du Jue will have no choice but to run.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the nest? It might be good to go and take a look. Perhaps you can settle down in the nest someday."

"You have a way?!"

"If you really want to settle down, don't bother me. I'm actually thinking of moving into the Nest myself. But if you just want to travel, that's perfectly fine. After all, the Nest is quite welcoming to big spenders like the Enderman."

"I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow. Anyway, this matter has to be settled."

"Tch, now you think of asking me for help. But the visa application needs to be done during their working hours, so there's no rush. I'll go check it out myself tomorrow."

To his surprise, the step he thought would be difficult turned out to be so simple. He hung up the call with delight and began to think about how to capture Wei Ban alive. This guy must have a lot of security forces around him.

It wasn't that he was overly arrogant and thought he could capture enemies alive at will, but killing someone with one punch might leave some annoying loose ends, so the matter had to end there!

Du Jue immediately recalled a prop that Wim and the previous auction master had both used—the Current Status Preservation Box. It was a powerful container that could effectively preserve even severed heads, and could even be retrieved intact by a doctor to replace the head with a prosthetic.

This preservation technology from Company U is widely used in food containers, limb preservation boxes, and glass display cases. I need to find a way to get one, preferably not through the channels of the person who finished the job.

Du Jue immediately issued an order, hoping to save some money.

Get the Status Quo Preservation Box for free.

"No more, long time no see."

The sudden words made Du Jue look up abruptly. In front of him was a woman with long, curly orange hair, wearing a very tight-fitting slit dress.

its not right!

Upon closer inspection, Du Jue realized that the flag was too tight, completely revealing the other person's body curves. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at the area on the other person's shoulder illuminated by the streetlight. The texture didn't seem like fabric, because there wasn't even a seam.

It's body painting!

Du Jue, who had only ever seen one exhibitionist like this before, immediately gripped the boning knife at his waist and retreated repeatedly, but he didn't see anyone else lying in ambush.

The other party is that Cocoqi apprentice in the exhibition hall!

She stood there with her arms crossed, looking very reserved and dignified, but this guy was clearly a man before!

Before he could think it through, Du Jue was completely stunned by what the other person was about to say.

"Lead Grey Symphony"

No other word could make Du Jue's hair stand on end more. Although it referred to himself, it could attract the combined annihilation of powerful finishers, and even Elena, who dominated the city, perished because of it.

Once exposed, migrant workers become fugitives.

Chapter 89 Current Status Preservation Box.

Avoid remaining silent with a blank expression; in such situations, you must not react in response to the other person's words.

Let's not worry about anything else, let's just do it!

call!

As the smoke spread, a sharp boning knife slashed through the white mist, aiming straight for Coco's unprotected chest. Du Jue's eyes were filled with a determination to kill.

clang!

The blade stopped abruptly just before piercing Coco's skin. Du Jue immediately realized that countless strong, thin lines had somehow formed between him and Coco.

The hand holding the knife handle was easily scraped and had a lot of flesh scraped off by the dense fine lines; it was practically a stationary meat grinder.

He broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to imagine the consequences of crashing into it. He stopped making any rash moves and stared intently at Coco.

"Don't rush, Du Jue, we can make a deal."

"Wait, what did you mean by 'Lead Gray Symphony'? What kind of silly tricks are you Ring Fingers up to now?"

"Look what this is."

Koko simply opened her right palm to show some colorful beads, which Du Jue immediately recognized as the ones she had thrown at Wim during their previous encounter, and which were also the props used to release the so-called fear gas.

"These are inferior products extracted by Master Wim from the corpses of the Wailing Incident. I was the one who led this technology, but unfortunately those samples were too expired. No matter how much we optimize them, we can only get this quality."

"The pain inflicted by torturing living beings is difficult to compare with that, so the research on fear gas has reached a major bottleneck."

Avoid getting more confused as you listen, not understanding how this relates to you, and besides, Wim is dead, so what's the point of saying all this?

"And when I was collecting Master Wim's true remains, I discovered an exciting piece of news: she was in fear before she died."

"Otherwise what? Would you people of the Ring be happy if you were about to die?"

"It was a kind of excruciating pain that spread throughout the whole body and went beyond the flesh. The abnormally high hormone levels led me to use Master Wim's remains as material for my extraction experiments out of curiosity."

"Do you understand? That feeling is exactly like the leaden symphony. I almost couldn't take it, but the intensity still seems much weaker than the wailing incident."

Hey!

I had considered many possibilities for my identity to be exposed, but I never expected that it would be discovered by the person with the ring in such a bizarre way.

Instead of properly burying his master after his death, Cocoqi, you actually refined his corpse! Are you even human?!

Moreover, the normal death aura is definitely not as bad as the death aura that triggers a chain of suicides, which is a torment that exceeds the limits of the senses.

At the time, Du Jue was simply too angry about Wim's evil deeds and wanted to prevent her from dying so comfortably. Who could have predicted that Ring Fingers would have this trick up its sleeve!

"Are you fucking crazy?!"

"Although it's a bit troublesome to have offended Master Wim's corpse, I don't regret it."

"However, since such a masterpiece has been damaged, I must hand over a masterpiece in return."

Du Jue's lips twitched, and he put his ring finger together, showing no concern for the corpse; he simply treated it as a work of art.

"Then why don't you use Master Wim's inventory? She must have some artworks that she hasn't shown before."

“I did find a painting of a foot, but that’s in the style of Master Wim. You’re just a roughneck like me and you wouldn’t understand it. The styles of the masters are so strong that they’re easy to spot.”

Wait a minute, this guy calls himself a brute. This isn't how he would act when facing the leaden symphony. Du Jue's gloomy mood instantly brightened, and he tentatively opened his mouth with some anticipation.

"In that case, let's speak frankly and openly."

“Very good. I want you to contact Lead Gray Howl. I’m willing to pay a high price for their artwork, as long as you put the dead head of Howl Howl in this place and hand it over to me.”

"The more the better, so that I can put on a great performance while the other masters are paying their respects to the remains. I have a feeling I will become a performance art master."

How come these guys have such keen intuition that they can detect the subtle clues of the lead gray symphony, but they just don't consider themselves suspects?

"Don't you think I'm the one who's in the lead gray symphony? You should call me the master, shouldn't you?"

"You know nothing, don't tarnish the master's reputation! That great man must be a seasoned artist who has witnessed the anxieties and fears of city dwellers with compassion and pity to create such a masterpiece!"

Good heavens, so this is how people perceive Lead Gray's Wail as a psychologically disturbed old madman. No wonder they haven't suspected me yet.

While feeling speechless, he was also somewhat relieved, as the work card granted him a variety of powerful abilities that were quite deceptive to unsuspecting people.

She took the backpack that Coco had tossed to her with disdain. Inside, five current status preservation boxes were neatly arranged, preventing her from belatedly discovering that this was also a form of help from the city.

It feels so good to get a bunch of expensive items for free!

I had already researched the market price of this item before; even for a first-tier finisher, it was a precious item that would make their wallet ache.
