I am a working emperor in Lobotomy City

"It's simple. The Association's Finisher rating is trustworthy even in World Wings. Furthermore, you have a letter of recommendation as a guarantee. Your background is clear. I see no reason to reject you."

The short-haired woman, who had just finished filling out the paperwork, suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, before you officially start work, we need to conduct a physical examination on you, including but not limited to iris, blood, and X-ray tests. Do you have any objections?"

Speaking of this, Du Jue suddenly hesitated. Although the most critical work card could not be detected, the number of tattoos on his body was a bit abnormal.

As if sensing Du Jue's hesitation, the short-haired woman explained calmly, "This is to prevent blacklisted individuals from attempting to gain entry to the company by changing their appearance. We understand the closer has undergone numerous enhancement procedures, and we will keep the test data confidential."

It sounded acceptable, so Du Jue didn't delay and immediately followed her through the process.

"Hmm? Aren't all the tests finished? Any questions?"

After putting on his clothes, Du Jue looked through the camera and saw the X-ray film in the short-haired woman's hand, which was covered with messy patterns.

The short-haired woman glanced at the X-ray film, put it into the file, and sealed it. Then she spoke in confusion, "No, there's absolutely no problem. It's just that I received an order from headquarters when I was entering the blood and iris information."

What the hell? Could it be that he was on L Company’s blacklist before?

"Your onboarding process has been frozen. The headquarters said you still have an agreement to fulfill with Company L."

The short-haired woman looked Du Jue up and down with a strange look. "If you're willing, then we can arrange for you to go to the large warehouse immediately."

"What is that place?"

"I'm sorry, you haven't started working yet, so I can't reveal such secrets to you."

Hey!

Why am I stuck here?!

"Hurry! Go now!"

Du Jue couldn't stand it any longer and quickly asked, "Can't you just let me in first? At worst, I can start working and then fulfill the agreement."

The short-haired woman shook her head apologetically. "This is an order from headquarters. I have no right to interfere. However, your situation has been entered into the system. Please proceed to Branch L-03 in Nest L. Only that location has permission to access the large warehouse."

L nest.

"No problem, I'll arrange to open the warehouse passage now."

The researcher with messy brown hair looked at Du Ce with curiosity and pity. "I don't know what headquarters' intentions are, but a large warehouse isn't a good place."

click!

Three sealed iron doors opened one after another. The huge train-like space was filled with all kinds of used supplies and a large number of bloody body bags. The hot and disgusting air made Du Jue feel a little uncomfortable, but the researcher did not care about it.

"These are the things that were delivered. They were supposed to be cleaned up tonight, but since this is an emergency order from headquarters, I have no choice but to inconvenience you."

The researcher gestured for Du Jue to just stand somewhere in the pool of blood.

"Because you'll definitely need a memory wipe before you can get out, let me explain. The large warehouse is where L Company stores its high-risk items. For the sake of confidentiality and security, no one is allowed to inquire about its location. Therefore, entry and exit require the use of the spatial mobility technology provided by W Company."

"Is there no danger?!"

Du Jue had some doubts and even wanted to run away, but the temptation of joining the company made him resist.

The researcher simply smiled and said, "Based on past experience, there shouldn't be any. Besides, the process only takes less than ten seconds."

After saying that, he turned and left. The three huge metal doors closed one by one, leaving Du Jue looking around suspiciously.

180

Chapter 180 Starlight Agreement.

Ding Dong!

A crisp prompt sounded. Du Jue had just stood on top of a pile of body bags. He looked up and around in surprise, and soon found that the three iron doors that had just been tightly closed were slowly opening.

"It really took less than ten seconds!"

The gloom in Du Jue's heart suddenly eased a lot. He was really curious about what was stored in this so-called large warehouse. He walked out and saw a red warning sign inside.

【Please go straight to the right and be sure to close the door! 】

The metal passage was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. Du Jue frowned and walked towards the room indicated. When he pushed open the thick door, he found that there was nothing here, just an electronic screen on the wall.

Bang!

The moment the door closed, the screen lit up and displayed the words: "Time synchronization, please do not leave the room!"

Du Jue didn't feel anything unusual at all. Then he heard the door of the house being opened from the outside, and the screen changed: "Synchronization completed, welcome to the Brain Probe Corporation!"

A clear voice came: "This uses T Company's TT2 technology to speed up and rewind time. I hope you understand and put an end to it."

The visitor was wearing the common red tie and black suit worn by Lobotomy. She stood at the door with her long legs together in red high heels. Her white coat could not completely cover her slender figure.

Isn’t it about hearing more, but eliminating it?

"You can call me Angela. I'm the management AI at Lobotomy Headquarters. I've received all your messages. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Angela's long light blue hair embraced her waist, and she lowered her head slightly towards Du Jue.

Du Jue suddenly realized that the "Great Warehouse" was merely a deceptive name for the outside world. This was the headquarters for the Seed of Light Project. "Let's be frank. Can you unfreeze my onboarding process first, and then discuss the agreement?"

Du Jue didn't care about anything else at this moment. Even if the leader came, he couldn't delay his finishing move!

Angela seemed a little surprised and didn't pay any attention to the fact that the beautiful girl who looked like this was an artificial intelligence. After all, this had violated the "Artificial Intelligence Amendment" and was a taboo that would be punished by the leader.

"As an AI, I certainly have no reason to hinder you, but the Starlight Agreement must be confirmed first. Do you still agree with it?"

An anxious Du Jue felt a little guilty after hearing this, because he had no memory of this thing at all. At this moment, he wanted to grab half of the body and ask, "Uh, do you know about the demise of the Emerald Road? It happened almost a month ago, and my memory is damaged because of it."

"It sounds convincing, but if you are not committed to the elimination of the agreement, nor do you agree to the elimination of the agreement, then I am afraid our dialogue will end here."

Angela narrated calmly.

However, Du Jue didn't think that this was the end of the matter. The best approach of the World Wings was to erase his memory, and the worst was to destroy his body. He immediately recalled what Wei Ban had said.

"Although I don't remember the Starlight Agreement, I know it was a personal agreement with the leader of L Company, not a cooperation agreement between Emerald Trip and L Company. Even now, I would certainly agree with it. Besides, I still remember the plan of Seed of Light!"

Angela immediately responded, "Well, this is as confidential as Lobotomy's singularity technology. Only a handful of people know about it, and it can indeed confirm your former identity."

so close!

Du Jue thought for a moment and quickly explained, "The Seed of Light Project was first proposed by Carmen. She felt that people in cities lacked a sense of self and were unable to face their inner selves. She called this an urban disease."

"Later, Carmen accidentally discovered a substance she named Cogito. She gathered many people to participate in her suburban research institute and developed a method to extract abnormalities from the human subconscious. The enkephalin produced by L Company is derived from abnormalities."

"But this research cost Carmen her life, so the current leader of L Company is her colleague Ain."

"By repeatedly collecting energy from the Abnormalities and using the technology of mind materialization to emit seeds of light, I then made all the people in the city face themselves and cure the so-called urban diseases. I have forgotten everything else."

Hearing this, Angela opened her eyes, her golden pupils gazing calmly at Du Jue. She gave him a steady, unhurried affirmation: "It seems you are undoubtedly the one who established the Starlight Agreement. Then, let me explain the details to you."

"The researchers in the suburbs reported the incident, leading to the leader's arrival. I think you understand the consequences. It was a catastrophic event, just like the Emerald Green Trip. Thankfully, the leader was killed, but only Ain survived."

"At that time, Ain sought help from your institute, and they dug out the brains of the institute members and made personality chips. Although the technology was very immature at the time, it was at least usable, preventing him from becoming a leader without any troops."

"The Starlight Accords were signed at this time. Ain provided you with some of his telepathic materialization techniques to improve his hammering technique, and you helped him rebuild the research institute."

what?

Du Jue really didn't expect this kind of development. It turned out that the black research institutes in the suburbs were helping each other, which really surprised him.

"However, after the haze war, this agreement has rarely been used."

Angela smiled, puzzled. "The content of the agreement is very simple—both parties should provide unconditional assistance in certain areas."

She continued, "In the previous patent war, Lobotomy provided a great deal of assistance without publicly announcing the alliance. After all, Ain's plan is at a critical juncture, and no complications can arise."

Du Jue immediately understood what he meant and instantly realized why the Starlight Agreement was idle. Everyone was busy promoting their own big plans and had no time to care about others!

"It's okay! I still agree to this agreement. Can I start work now?"

"As I said before, I have no reason to hinder you. Your employee information has been entered, but due to various complicated reasons, I will be your direct superior for the time being."

Angela seemed to be asking some questions, but Du Jue was so excited that he didn't care at all.

Good, good, good! This is what he wants!

【Congratulations on joining L Company】

[Gaining a talent for part-time work: Self-expression]

[Effect 1: Your resistance to cognitive distortion is greatly improved, and you will not lose consciousness before your will collapses]

[Effect 2: You can select a crafting tool and enter the corresponding self-display state, which will suppress other crafting tools.]

[Effect 3: When in the self-expression state, emotions will strengthen the crafting items, but when injured, emotions will be forcibly reduced until you exit this state.]

Hmm? Why does this feel even more abstract than the Ring Finger's Conductor Talent? But it's clearly very useful!

A big stone in Du Jue's heart finally fell to the ground. He really walked 365 miles for this thing. He was so happy that he even thought about whether the idealistic energy such as the Seed of Light could be used to charge and upgrade Kaji.

According to the plot, Ain only used Angela as a tool to execute his plan, making Angela a rebellious intelligence who began to steal the Seed of Light when it was finally formed.

If Angela can steal, then he can steal a little too.

"It seems we have reached a consensus. I'm very happy to have you join me, but your job will be a little special."

When you are in a good mood, avoid suddenly remembering something!

Wen Duo, the closer, had just completed a secret commission and was about to report to the Sixth Association. Wouldn't he have stood Shao up now?

And this time when I go back, I will definitely be promoted to a first-level finisher, and the work tools I get will definitely be powerful, just right for displaying my talents!

"Then please officially join us."

Angela suppressed her smile and made way for the door. "I really like being called Miss Angela. You can call me that at work, although I'm just an AI tool for management and don't actually need a name."

Du Jue didn't leave immediately. Instead, he smiled kindly and asked, "Ahem, Miss Angela, can I take care of things outside first? After all, you said that this will speed up the process, and I have some appointments with friends."

181

Chapter 181 Control Department.

"You mean to release someone who is fully aware of L Corporation's Singularity Technology and the Seed of Light Project? To be honest, as the AI overseeing the project, I am also confined to this facility."

Angela closed her eyes again, as if she didn't need her eyes to see anything, but directly mobilized the cameras in the corridor and room to observe the environment.

"I can't possibly leak the secret!"

Du Jue hurriedly explained that although he could get powerful items by working and getting promoted at World Wings, it was too inhumane for him to immediately join Lobotomy after just agreeing to Shao. "At least let me tell them."

"I will send a notice to your address book in the name of Lobotomy Corporation headquarters. During the next supply delivery, they will understand that you were forcibly recruited due to your involvement in the L-Nest taboo. This way, they will not blame you, but instead resent Lobotomy Corporation."

Angela patiently explained, "I think it's a very effective tactic to shift the blame of human error onto non-human beings."

Du Jue sighed. It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to apologize later. "That's not necessary. Joining Lobotomy was my choice. I know the merits and demerits. Just tell them it was my intention."

"Really? That's a really stubborn and useless idea."

Angela was noticeably silent for a moment, which was very unusual for an AI.

Then she turned and left the time synchronization room, motioning for Du Jue to follow.

Since he couldn't get out, Du Jue quickly changed his mindset. What he had to do now was very simple, which was to try his best to get promoted before the Lobotomy Corporation launched the Light Seed explosion. The work tools provided by the Lobotomy Corporation were definitely very powerful!

This is the Wings of the World that countless people want to join!

"Wait! If I understand correctly, I am now Miss Angela's subordinate. What should I do? Do I need to assist you, a wise man who can manage the entire headquarters?"

The first priority for workers is to do a good job of upward management. Although Angela is an artificial intelligence, she has the ability to feel emotions and is already considered half an intelligent life. Of course, those who like to listen will agree with what she says.

Angela didn't answer directly, but instead brought up another matter: "Ordinary people might not understand, but as the leader of the Emerald Trip, you should understand the determination to do whatever it takes to complete the plan."

"Secondly, you're incredibly capable. According to the intelligence transmitted, the Emerald Trip was clearly wiped out by its leader, and the remnants were taken over by K Company. Yet, you somehow managed to survive and become a Tier 2 finisher. This ability to adapt is extremely valuable."

"Finally, your desire is obvious. Perhaps it's related to the research on the Verdant Journey, but you desperately want a promotion, right?"

Hearing these words, Du Jue suddenly realized that his job might not be normal, but he remained calm and replied, "Of course, I am a little confused as to why I haven't met with the company leader, Ain. Of course, I have no complaints about you."

"Because it's part of the plan."

Angela walked to the metal door, and it immediately opened, revealing darkness and deathly silence. "Next, I hope you can help me unconditionally according to the Starlight Agreement, because this is Ain's plan."

"Even if the content may include causing mental or physical harm to the minister, intentionally damaging company assets, or even being hostile to the minister and supervisor."

Angela solemnly turned to face the somewhat bewildered Du Jue and spoke calmly, "Even if you betrayed the Seed of Light plan, this is all part of the plan. I believe you must understand that deception is also a means to achieve the goal."

Hey!

Du Jue, who was puzzled just now, now completely understood that Angela wanted him to work undercover!

Although the headquarters can go back in time, this kind of thing is too challenging. When the other party steals the Seed of Light, will they have to arrange him outside to stop the ministers and all employees?
