I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

"Death is ever-present; it stands right behind me."

Taking a deep breath, Kapil, his expression returning to calm, looked at Du Jue again. "I've said all this to tell you, Du Jue, that I'm afraid of death, but I'm not afraid of dying either. If you lose the bet or run away, I'll blow this place up."

Seeing the madman's calm expression, Du Jue's heart sank. He knew he had encountered another urban psychopath. This guy was truly insane yet logically sound. "What if I win?"

"I'm willing to accept the consequences of my actions."

Kapil bent down and picked up a coin. "The rules are simple. You toss the coin. If it lands heads, I win; if it lands tails, you win. Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kapil reached out and removed a die from his chest that had rolled a six. The six then appeared on his right cheek. "Let's see who's luckier and enjoy the allure of this life-or-death gamble."

Sensing something, he pulled out his communicator and saw a pattern on his left cheek reflected in the screen. He felt an indescribable pressure and was unsure whether the empty command could cover the other party's twisted power.

After all, urban assistance is not unlimited; the more difficult the situation, the less effective it becomes.

Crash.

Numerous pages of the grenade flew back to Du Jue's surroundings and then stuck to him from all sides, as if he were wearing a layer of paper armor.

Kapil dismissed this with a sneer, "If you don't throw it within three minutes, then I will. If the coin is damaged, then we'll throw the next one, until a winner is decided."

"The bet is in effect the moment you agree to it, and once you toss the coin, no one can touch it again until it stops."

Like a vicious dog, Kapil's gaze darted back and forth between the game coins and the ban.

Du Jue nodded with a confident smile. "I understand. But even if I win, I won't kill you because I'm after your remaining value. Smile Company just happens to need a fearless thug."

"After all, these gangs are really rude."

Du Jue pointed to the Night Cone team, who were fighting against the EMOJI members, causing the entire Night Cone team to pay close attention to the betting game.

The team leader, Ross, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, now looked grave. Kapil alone was troublesome enough; if Du Jue were to win, wouldn't this entire operation be a complete failure?!

"Don't worry about the team leader."

Elan, also sweating profusely, struggled to defend against the shamisen's fierce attack. "That guy Kapil seems to be able to manipulate luck. That Wendo, or rather Dujue, is doomed. Let's ask Thumb for help."

Shamisen severed Ailan's right hand with a single stroke, then yelled at Du Jue, "Hey! Don't talk big about winning and then lose. If the company really replaces you, I'll only be responsible for your salary. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

[Angela: I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly. Do you need to take refuge in the library? As long as we don't throw out game coins, the twisted ability probably won't be triggered. We can send the other librarians to deal with the target.]

To this question, Du Jue simply shook his head. "Of course I'm confident of victory. Shamisen, get out of the way."

Win this bet.

After giving the order, Du Jue decisively tossed the game coin into the air, and the small metal reflecting sunlight immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Tear!

At that moment, the pages of all the books on Dujue's body cracked open, and grenades exploded violently along with the red scales.

The immense pressure of the explosion sent countless shattered scales flying, and a massive amount of heat filled his entire body, making Du Jue feel as if his whole body was on fire.

The hidden dragon should not be used!

The time it took for the game coins to fall was enough for him to break Capil's will!

Chapter 313 New Colors.

hum!

Du Jue felt for the first time that the air was as thick and hard as a wall, and that the features of her entire face were compressed and distorted into a flat surface. She even felt that the bridge of her nose was broken.

The rapid loss of body heat gave him the illusion of hypothermia.

Crunch!

The red scale fragments and grenade shrapnel floating in the air tore through Du Jue's skin, making him realize that all the dragon scales on his body were slowly retracting under his skin.

It was probably the high-frequency grenade bombardment that removed more than half of the scales, forcibly dispelling the dragon scale state.

"Ugh, time accelerated way too fast this time! I'm even having trouble breathing!"

Just rushing out of the solidified smoke from the explosion, Du Jue felt constant ringing in his ears and was under unimaginable pressure all over his body.

However, no one could see his posture of fighting against the air. Everyone was still staring at the game coin that Du Jue had swept past, and even the contraction of his pupils due to shock was slowed down countless times.

call!

As Du Jue struggled to lift the thorn spear, he felt as if everything had come to a standstill, except for the glass windows on both sides of the street, which still reflected his swift figure as usual.

Du Jue could even see his own reflection in Kapil's blood-red pupils, but even with the thorn spear pointed at his chest, the other party still wore a maniacal smile of absolute certainty.

call out!

"Life and death are unpredictable; how could we gamble them on such a trivial matter?!"

Grip the gun tightly, determined not to mercilessly pierce Kapil's chest, which was riddled with hollowed-out dice.

The workshop hamster's incredible resilience allowed him to withstand the high speed and pressure and desperately pierce through the enemy's body.

He then braced his arms against the gun, using a full-force upward thrust to send his opponent flying into the air.

The moment he saw the bombs strapped to his opponent, Du Jue lost all interest in a serious gamble. He disliked leaving his life and death to chance. "If I can't use the game currency, I can still kill you!"

Du Jue grabbed the thorny spear and threw it upwards with all his might. A large number of grenade pages stuck to the spear, and the layers of white paper made the spear look like angel feathers.

The immense heat was quickly exhausted, and the seemingly static world in our eyes began to run again.

Chi Chi Chi!

A large amount of scorching steam rose from Du Jue's reddened skin, and the path he had just walked on exploded with a terrifying shockwave, leaving a charred pit in the ground.

"what's the situation?!"

Shamisen noticed that Du Jue's communicator signal seemed to have teleported. Following the location, she realized that Du Jue had crossed a hundred meters in the blink of an eye without her noticing.

Everyone felt as if the time on the battlefield had been abruptly cut off.

They just stopped only throwing out game coins, so why is there a white light rising into the sky now?!

Boom! !

As Kapil awaited victory, he felt excruciating pain and deadly fear overwhelm his thoughts before he could even react. Then, before he could think about what had happened, the Thorn Spear shattered him from below.

When his chest collapsed and his body exploded, Kapil only had time to feel doubt and confusion.

The shamisen above could only detect a fine drizzle of blood and flesh, and blue cracks covering the sky. "Damn! How come you always manage to make such a commotion? You could be frying French fries in the kitchen."

"Wait a minute?! Isn't this a bet on heads or tails?!"

Ross stared wide-eyed at the still-spreading heatwave from the explosion on his left, then at Du Jue, who had abruptly taken Kapil's place on his right. "What exploded?!"

Even the EMOJI team members and Night Cone team members who were fighting were startled by the two deafening explosions and all stopped fighting to look at Du Jue.

The tremors shattered all the building's windows, but the residents, both amazed and eager, craned their necks to film. "What a spectacle! This is going to be a hit! No wonder it's the publicity ambassador, Wen Duo; this is amazing!!"

Flashes of light appeared everywhere.

"Phew! These people must be stunned by what they're seeing on the live stream, daring to interfere like this."

I raised my hand to block out the light, and with some exhaustion, I discovered that the dice marks on the back of my hand had faded.

thump!

Kapil landed next to Du Jue with half his head and neck severed, his pupils unfocused, clearly stunned by the rapid attack just now, the six-dot mark on his face had disappeared.

[Angela: Very good, target awareness is scattered, Seed of Light has been successfully retrieved.]

Ding!

He casually picked up the game coin at his feet and tossed it again, raising his index finger, which had been cut by the shards, to Kapil's head. "That game coin should be destroyed by the explosion. According to the rules of the game, I'll toss it again."

The bright red blood dripping from his fingertips onto Kapil's face caused him to react, and his right eye barely focused on the game coins.

Snapped.

The result was undoubtedly the opposite, which meant that Du Jue had won, causing Kapil's right eye to slowly and listlessly close.

"I've heard that Blood Demons can live for a very long time, maybe a thousand years? Now I want you to work for me for a thousand years. Each time you go to work, I'll reduce your time by a few months or a few years. When the time is up, we can play another round."

His right eye glared at Du Jue, and his blood-soaked lips parted with difficulty. "Really?"

He kept a close eye on the other person, showing no doubt or resistance, but rather anticipation and excitement. Perhaps this was the meaningful desire he was pursuing.

If this guy hadn't been able to control his bloodlust, and if he hadn't had such good sportsmanship, he wouldn't have deliberately deviated from his aim just now.

Although he has mental problems, his remaining value is considerable.

"Kapi, wasn't this the bet you proposed?"

After firing a pneumatic syringe, Du Jue asked Kapil a question, then saw the other party stick out a curled tongue, revealing a die without any points.

Du Jue reached out and picked it up, only to find it stuck to the back of his hand before disappearing. "What is this?"

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Then the head completely lost consciousness.

"Hurry! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

As Ross turned to retreat, he shouted orders to his men not to linger.

Whoosh!

Two Night Cone members tried to take advantage of the distraction to finish off Kapil, but were smashed into the concrete by the Crusher's Serrated Edge, along with their short swords.

Reach out and catch the thorny spear falling from the sky, without letting out a breath.

Seeing this, Ross could only curse under his breath, "This is beyond our control! Only the Thumb Army can handle this kind of massive explosion. We really have to retreat this time!"

"Come and go as you please? I don't think you care about my bonus at all!"

With a sudden swing of the fully charged, extra-long shamisen, Ross staggered backward.

Take it!

The thorn spear tip, whistling through the air, easily shattered Ross's head. The spurting juice made Alan, who was providing support nearby, turn pale and immediately flee. Even when his right arm was severed by the shamisen's charged blade, he didn't turn back.

Watching the EMOJI team clean up the mess, Du Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and beckoned Wei Ban to come over and settle Kapiel first, so that he could test the effects of the bitter water on him later.

[Du Jue: Section Chief Shao, I'd like to ask if the association has any requests regarding this Night Cone group. I offended them while cleaning up the company just now.]

[Shao: Of course, it would be abnormal if any of the larger gangs didn't have their requests. I'll send it to you later.]

The six associations in the south.

living room.

"Yes, I am aware of the difficulties faced by the Southern Association, but we still need to consult Wen Duo himself on this matter."

Shao, sitting upright, nodded to Mirina across from him.

Taking the hot tea that Tsubaki brought, Mirina smiled slightly, "It is indeed impolite of me to come and borrow people from Wen Duo as soon as he returned to the Sixth Association, but the First Association is a little short of manpower."

"Due to the Great Howl incident, the First and Second Departments suffered heavy losses. We wanted to gather the eight chefs of color processing, but we couldn't contact Dark Silence, and Azure Echo refused. Only Crimson Cross responded."

Mirina pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, her light brown shoulder-length hair making her look very elegant and quiet. "Since the daytime flying star, a large number of distortion events have caused the difficulty of the missions to increase significantly, and even troubles at the City Star level have appeared frequently."

"For all reasons, we urgently need to appoint a dedicated, strong and well-known new color finisher."

Click.

As soon as Du Jue, wearing a black veil, entered the room, all the high-ranking staff in the reception room stopped and looked at her.

"Ok?"

Somewhat puzzled, Du Jue glanced at Olivier and Harold to either side of Mirina and raised his hand in greeting, "What brings the First Association here for tea? Are you worried that I'll return crippled after my disappearance and want to test my strength again?"

Harold's face twitched upon hearing this, after all, she had almost been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by the Absolute Crusher when she was careless.

Standing behind Shao, the red-haired Milis couldn't help but speak up: "I don't think it's necessary. After all, if you're no longer useful, Shao might consider it, but Smile Company will definitely fire you immediately."

"Wen Duo, you're still the same as ever."

Chun brought over another cup of hot tea and looked Du Jue up and down. "You actually worked for another company after L Company collapsed. I thought you would settle down in the Sixth Association. Turns out you're still a workaholic."
