I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

A strange itch came from the liver area, but Du Jue couldn't tell that it was an axe tattoo, which would make his skin more resistant to chopping.

"If I get too many tattoos, I might not even be able to have surgery."

Du Jue couldn't help but laugh at the thought that he might have to use a chainsaw to cut open his chest in the future.

"Brother, you're amazing. Killing people is so easy for you."

The words behind him stunned Du Jue. If he didn't know Pian Jiang's personality, he would have thought the other party was mocking him.

Seeing the reflection of himself laughing after killing someone in the blade, Du Jue sighed, bent down, picked up the cadre's head, and walked out.

There's no point in arguing about it now.

"It's not simple at all, and we've already killed enough people this time."

"Yes, brother will definitely kill even more people next time."

"Shut the fuck up!"

"Ok."

Jingmei, who was cleaning up the scraps of meat from the iron chain with her hands on her hips, looked up and nodded in satisfaction when she saw the head that Du Jue had brought.

"Here, I've had someone install an iron gate on that building. You can handle the rest of the renovations yourself."

Du Jue was a little confused when he received the large bunch of keys.

"Didn't you really like that place? You went there several times in just a few days."

Du Jue was startled. He hadn't expected Jing Mei to have someone watching him. Did she know about the Blood Demon?!

Jingmei clapped her hands, looking at Du Jue's dazed expression with some confusion.

"I originally sent someone to see if you would run away, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. You shouldn't stay at that lousy clinic anymore."

"The guy who was keeping an eye on you said you were always running around and he was too lazy to follow you. Park believed you quite a bit, but he wasn't wrong about you."

"Alright, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."

"Tomorrow we'll go to Lane 23 to reap the rewards of our victory."

Du Jue nodded with lingering fear; he would have to be careful not to be followed in the future.

However, in the city, there are many people and many eyes, so how can you not leave any trace? You can't just shoot all the passers-by and garbage collectors, can you?

Perhaps the Death Tattoo can be used temporarily to evade tracking.

After all, the death aura would completely cover his figure and face, and he wouldn't even make a sound in his corpse state. The only drawback was that he would have to endure the pain of death.

It seems he still has a lot to learn about part-time work. He can't let his boss find out he's doing part-time work, otherwise, it'll be a minor issue if he thinks he's not working enough.

"Boss Jingmei, I'll be going now."

"Don't you dare be late for me tomorrow!"

33 Neurosis

Click.

The five men pushed open the huge iron gate, and next to the familiar building stood the courtyard enclosed by security bars and brick walls.

"Oh, this place belongs to us now? Du Jue, you're really something!"

"We'll be living here from now on, this is a huge sum of money!"

Carrying the black briefcase, Ai had never felt so excited to be in this place before, after all, it all belonged to them!

The two guards closed the heavy iron gate, marveling at the protective measure, which was certainly effective at keeping out mice.

A quick glance at the stairwell revealed that the rooms were empty and the doors had been replaced with security iron doors; this was probably Jingmei's doing.

Even if it's just a back alley, giving away a whole building is quite a generous gesture. Du Jue also felt that Jingmei was being very generous, perhaps as a reward she was receiving in advance.

He felt a little embarrassed for taking the extra ampoule, so he decided to buy Jingmei some jewelry from the workshop next time.

“No, this box only has half a tube of liquid, it should be fine, right? I searched the whole room.”

"There was an unexpected bonus as well."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of loose change and gave it to Du Jue to show off, then put it in Du Jue's pocket.

Half a tube?

Du Du looked at Pianjiang with disbelief.

"No problem, brother. It's a very high-purity substance. It's best not to open it without protection."

"How did the Emerald Journey get their hands on this thing? Are they really that skilled?"

Recalling the treatment sprays and injections that Katae had used, I no longer doubted that this thing might be the original solution.

Company K has a large eyeball called the "Thing That Cries," which sheds tears when it feels suffering, and its tears can bring living beings back to their original form in their consciousness.

The company's recycled ampoules are diluted, while the more concentrated dissolving ampoules will dissolve a person directly.

In order to improve extraction efficiency, the company went from telling tragic stories to watching gory movies all day long. Finally, K Company introduced glass window technology and started broadcasting the suffering in parallel worlds.

This is K Company's singularity technology.

We must avoid the misconception that these urbanites are all born abstract masters.

"Yes, the personality chip that is now essential for full-body cybernetic modification is their technology, but most workshops now know how to use it."

"I've also read most of the materials."

It's obvious without even asking that Du Jue didn't share the information openly and honestly; it was probably stolen while they were being beaten up by Company K.

I used to think that Katae was a doctor, but it turns out he's a technician.

However, he only realized now that such a mechanical chip that could make a person plug-and-play in a prosthetic body would violate urban taboos.

"Yes, actually the personality chip is alive. If the body is damaged and not properly stored for two or three days, it will become unusable."

"To put it simply, each time a prosthetic is inserted, it will overwrite the personality of the brain inside the prosthetic."

"This is why full-body cybernetic implants are tolerated; the chip is actually the core component."

Hey!

Du Jue, who only knows about prosthetic body modification, doesn't really understand the technology behind these components. After all, doctors don't manually operate operating lights.

"But won't this lead to a problem with self-identity? Like the Ship of Theseus, unable to determine what they really are?"

"So even for city dwellers, full-body cybernetic enhancement is considered crazy; most people who are willing to take a gamble would do it."

As Pianjiang spoke, he glanced cautiously at the three Iron Men and quietly shrank behind Du Jue.

Ai, however, was nonchalantly counting the keys, while the other two were choosing their new homes.

"In the city, you have to show your talents, or you will suffer misfortune."

"Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, isn't that my unique talent!"

Being completely indifferent to this matter requires a certain level of thick skin.

"Katae, why don't you choose a room on the first floor too?"

"Can I come with you, brother?"

The circular screen displayed a question mark as Ao put down his keychain and came closer.

"Aren't you a man? And who's your brother? You're very outgoing."

"You should call him boss; he has no manners at all."

Du Jue was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he opened the door to 101 and lay down on the sofa.

"Then you can go to bed. Just let Lan Silun run errands for the things needed to prepare the injections. That guy can't stay idle."

Just as Du Jue closed his eyes, he suddenly remembered something and quickly took out his communicator to ask Jing Mei when they would meet tomorrow. He also marked Yi Yin's spam message as read.

[Anteater: I tried a new recipe, I'll bring you some bone broth tomorrow.]

[Avoid using the excuse: "Um, I have something to do tomorrow."]

[Anteater: It's okay, being a stray dog ​​doesn't bother me, and besides, I miss you.]

That's why something happened!

Du Jue, having turned over, pondered how to deal with this powerful figure. He couldn't very well let Elena go; the Blood Demon was still severely injured and not a match for him.

This chef is really relentless; we need to find a way to shut her up.

[Lesti: Woohoo! I've finished my exams, now I'm just waiting for the results.]

[Refuse: Congratulations, I hope you can get me a manager position in World of Wings and give me special treatment.]

[Lesti: My first choice is W Company. I absolutely love WARP trains; those trains that only take ten seconds to get there are amazing.]

Du Jue sighed, feeling both happy for the other person and a little sad.

People like Lesti, who come from the back alleys, are just used as loyal expendable resources by Worldwing, and will never get to meet the management.

This is also why he refuses to go to the exam-oriented village; he needs to bring his own investment to the group, and he can't just honestly work for Lobotomy Corporation.

Even if I work for 100,000 years, I'll still be a clerical worker!

[Lesti: I really do have that talent! I'll pay you back double!]

[Don't: The way you're doing this makes me want to lend you money at exorbitant interest rates.]

Du Jue, who had just gotten up from the sofa, really couldn't think of a way to dissuade Yi Yin from coming over.

It's just drinking soup, there shouldn't be any big deal, right?

He pushed Pianjiang and Ai aside in frustration, and without paying attention to what they said, he walked to the rooftop.

Du Jue, who climbed six floors in one go, felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger, and that working was really useful for him.

Bang.

"Elena?"

Du Jue pushed open the iron gate, and found it strange that the Blood Demon was not there, and the dried corpses that had been piled up there were all gone, leaving only a few traces of blood.

I slowly walked to the railing, this was still my first time looking down at the night view of the back alley.

The residential area was covered with ivy-like light strips that illuminated people's faces in a kaleidoscope of colors, and robberies and fights could be seen from time to time.

The gang-controlled territories and commercial streets were as bright as day, and even after nightfall, people would still come and go for a while, like a frying pan sizzling with the sounds of people.

"City, I want to show you my talents."

Du Jue, whose mood had unexpectedly improved, took a deep breath and began to observe each location with great interest until she noticed something unusual about the coffee shop across the street.

The mentally ill man who kidnapped the little girl has reappeared and is fighting with the staff over the coffee machine. The chaos he caused has driven all the customers away, and Du Jue is getting angry just watching it.

Just as the two caregivers were about to grab the patient, a man in a leather jacket appeared from behind and knocked them unconscious.

After doing all this, the man in the leather jacket actually sat down in the coffee shop.

To prevent him from being seen drinking the previous customer's coffee through the window.

"You two are crazy! Don't bother going back to the hospital right now!"

Du Jue, who was turning around angrily, froze for a moment.

Bang!

A tremendous impact and excruciating pain shot through his right shoulder, causing him to roll three times on the ground, his blood splattering two meters away.

"Fuck me!"

34 Secrets

The pain felt as if it had pierced through every nerve in my body.

Fortunately, the Death Tattoo today greatly enhanced his pain resistance. He endured the excruciating pain and turned his head to look at his bloodied and mangled shoulder. He couldn't even feel anything in his right arm.

Who would be willing to use a gun to snipe him?

Even Aux uses a starting pistol!

Moreover, this level of power is not that of an ordinary bullet.
