"I know I may not have much talent, but I will definitely support you, no matter what you want to do."
Avoid being speechless.
"I already said, Ai, can't you include us?"
"Senior, me too."
He quickly came closer, afraid of being overlooked.
"Then I'll become the pinnacle of the city, stand atop the wings of the world, and punch the leaders. You guys support that too?"
Seeing Du Jue's serious expression, the three of them were somewhat surprised; this didn't seem like a joke at all.
"I believe you."
An even greater surge of anger rose up, and Du Jue had no idea where it came from or why it was spreading.
"Believe my ass! You're all a bunch of junk!"
"Do you know how big the city is?! Do you know that the city has 26 nests?!"
"How powerful is the City Star? How many of those associations are capable of wiping out the City Star? And how dangerous is the Wings of the World!"
"You don't understand anything at all!"
At this moment, Du Jue was even more unable to understand the thought process of these three cybernetic people, who actually said they wanted to support him in becoming the pinnacle of the city.
“You’re right, I was beaten to a pulp by those stray dogs, but didn’t you keep your promise?”
"You said we would all get out unscathed, and we did."
He handed Du Jue the ham sandwich she had just bought.
"You've done everything you said, so this one too."
"Senior, the city is not trustworthy for us, but you are."
Du Jue, who had just accepted the sandwich, turned his head away, and even the boiling flames in his chest had been extinguished.
He stared blankly at the sandwich, lost in thought.
If a promise can change even the tin-clad city dwellers, then it can also change the city.
Perhaps this is one way for him to reach the pinnacle of the city.
After all, even a powerful organization like the Ruins Library can be driven away by its leader.
But the entire city believed him; ABC Company was the real deal! His rejection of ABC was what everyone wanted!
"Thank you all. I got a little too excited just now. I'm sorry."
Du Jue silently ate his sandwich and also made a decision regarding the Blood Demon.
"It's okay. Even before he had his full-body cybernetic implants, he was always like this, yelling and screaming over the smallest things."
"They can't find their own things, yet they yell at both of us."
"You are looking for death."
The circular symbol of the 鏌 changed from yellow to red. I raised my hand as if to give the 鏮鍶錔 a good whack, but I decided to behave myself and avoid being seen.
Because she noticed that the gaze she had previously avoided lingered on the gentle-looking man with long, straight black hair for quite some time.
"Alright, you guys check your weapons, then we'll go and deal with that Blood Demon."
27 relatives transformed
The four returned to the building, where the doors and windows had been repaired and it looked much more intact.
However, after patrolling back and forth, apart from the bearded man's corpse still lying there, no trace of the Blood Demon was found.
"Did they run away?"
"Hmph, I was careless last time and it managed to sneak up on me, but that won't happen again this time."
After asking several residents, Du Jue discovered that they were all new residents who had just moved in that day.
Thinking of the injuries he had inflicted on the Blood Demon yesterday, Du Jue felt a sinking feeling in his heart. It seemed that all the original people had become supplies for the enemy.
"Hey, you guys, this is a den of bastards' territory, get out of here right now!"
"If I see you again this time, I'll blow your heads off!"
"But we don't have the money to rent a place."
Hey!
Du impatiently reached into his pocket, only to find it emptier than his face.
Seemingly sensing the intention to prevent further rent collection, Hui recommended a good law firm to the residents, as it wasn't yet time to collect rent from that place.
Blood Demons seem to be completely incompatible with parasites.
But this kind of problem should be solvable by becoming the pinnacle of the city.
After all, the Seed of Light, the source of all evil, caused the birth of a new Blood Demon in the city after it was launched. So theoretically, the Seed of Light could also turn the Blood Demon back into a human.
"Let's go to the top floor!"
After a moment's thought, the decision to immediately eliminate the threat was made to target the rooftop.
If the Blood Demon wants to avoid being disturbed, that is a relatively quiet place.
However, the last staircase leading to the top floor was blocked by debris, but fortunately, the prosthetic body was a perfect fit for manual labor and easily moved it.
crunch.
Cautiously pushing open the rusty, dilapidated iron gate, a pungent smell of blood assaults the senses.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
The corpse was arranged clockwise on a raised platform, with a white plastic toilet standing in the middle and a cow cat standing on the tank.
Its crimson eyes, like rubies shimmering with blood, were fixed on Du Jue, who had pushed the iron gate open completely.
"You didn't flush the toilet."
"Meow?"
The black and white cat instinctively looked down at the toilet below, then hissed in displeasure.
We can't be sure this guy is rational; he's probably full and won't go berserk.
"Hmph, you say you want to be at the top of the city, that's crazier than what I've done, but I can still support you, it won't be any worse for me anyway."
"So, my friend, are you really willing to let me drink your blood?"
"This is a promise I made myself, and of course I cannot break it."
"That's why I said you're a very special city dweller, but don't you know the consequences of being sucked dry?"
"what?"
Suppressing the urge to back away, he raised his hand to stop the man wielding the sickle and the two men who were about to draw their swords.
As the kitten moved, it transformed once again into a ferocious red beast surrounded by blood aura. Its deep red tail was half-curled around Du Jue, making him feel dizzy from the stench of blood.
"Once you're bitten, you'll turn into a blood bag. In short, you're doomed anyway."
"Can't this thing be controlled by a switch?"
This seems different from the expected elimination of vampires, where at least the spread of vampires can be controlled. No wonder the Blood Demon is so infamous.
The monster's gaping maw opened at Du Jue's face, ready to bite off Du Jue's head at any moment, just as it had bitten off Ai's head yesterday.
"There is no other way but for me to specifically transform you into a member of my family."
Even so, would you still let me bite you?
As expected, the corners of Du Jue's mouth turned up after his huge red eyes froze in shock.
"It seems like it won't work?"
"For everyone else, only the Blood Demon is an exception, right?"
"Even those stupid Blood Demons who join gangs are despised and gossiped about by those scum in the shadows."
Du Jue's quick thinking allowed him to immediately perceive the job opportunity; his job-seeking radar is extremely sensitive.
Even a joke-like group like the Garbage Collectors can get incentivized hires, so why can't a special social organization like the Blood Demon's Kin?!
What does it have to do with him, the Emperor of Working for Others, if they thirst for blood?
As can be seen from the previous part-time job talent, it was generated and perfected according to the characteristics of the organization.
Whether it's the improved adaptability of the prosthetic body with [Cyborg] or the enhanced load-bearing capacity of the tattoo with [Tattooed Wild Dog], both have made certain improvements.
This is the distorted value of working for someone else!
"Then come forth, this is my promise, even if the object is a Blood Demon!" "However, I still don't know your name. May I have the honor of becoming your familiar?"
Du Jue decisively pulled up his sleeve, revealing the blue veins on his right wrist. The bulging flesh immediately whetted the Blood Demon's appetite.
This unexpected decisiveness and sense of responsibility stopped the red beast from biting, and even the beating heart beneath its blood-red fur seemed to be momentarily stunned.
"No one has ever believed me, no one has ever dared to lay a finger on the Blood Demon."
"Actually, I can understand them, because when the Blood Demon is thirsting for blood, he doesn't recognize even his own family, let alone maintain his rationality, but I don't quite understand you."
"In that case, I'm willing to try believing in you. My name is Elena."
Stable.
The organization that City Star belongs to is bound to take off once it joins; what is there to fear from the eight head chefs?
Although there are some risks involved, I must not blindly trust the power of a job offer; without Kaji's help, I would not have gotten to where I am today.
Under the worried gaze of the three Iron Men, the cow cat standing on the toilet tank gently bit Du Jue's wrist.
Elena swore she had never eaten so gently, the sharp teeth that tore at her veins merely piercing them slowly like needles.
"I'm about to begin. This is my first time transforming a familiar as a Blood Demon."
"Elena, I believe in you."
Let me see your limits, Kaji!
To prevent my wrist from being completely numb, I would have thought the other person hadn't even started if I hadn't seen Elena burying her head and biting down.
A feeling of weakness suddenly surged through my body, followed by the release of the anger that had been suppressed for so long.
The urban tragedies he had witnessed in the past no longer seemed to provoke his anger or agitation; this change, however, made him even more resistant to anger.
He didn't want to become a city dweller.
A strange throbbing sensation came from his wrist, and a powerful heartbeat made him feel dizzy and disoriented. Although he was standing on the rooftop, he felt as if he was about to fall into a dream.
My legs felt weak and I wanted to fall, and everything around me was distorted and deformed.
"The pinnacle of the city".
"what?"
Such a familiar voice.
An endless sea of blood surged forth, but the isolated island where Du Jue stood suddenly rose higher, leaving it all behind.
"The pinnacle of the city!"
The crimson tornado that swept across the sky attempted to land, but was once again blocked by a high wall that rose out of nowhere.
Avoid feeling like you're in a state between being fully conscious and confused; try to discern whose voice it is.
That's someone I can never forget.
"The pinnacle of the city!!!"
"Ugh!"
Du Jue suddenly woke up, clutching his wrist and kneeling on the ground. His mind felt as if it had been violently shredded by an egg beater, as if his brain and soul were about to be completely separated.
Only when Du Jue opened his eyes again did he regain all his senses and feel the solid ground beneath his feet; everything before seemed like a nightmare.
"Du Jue! Are you alright?!"
"Damn it, I knew this monster was up to no good, get out of my way!"
