I am a working emperor in Lobotomy City

"I feel like your strength has changed a lot."

"Do you like this pillow? It's velvet, so it should be nice to sleep on."

Hearing this, Elena immediately climbed up Du Jue's arm and onto his shoulder, then looked at her claws.

"By the way, why do you keep the appearance of a cat? I heard you are in human form."

"I was hunted by many people before, and this void has not been filled yet. Do you want to see my true appearance?"

"Any normal person would be curious."

"But I'm a little afraid you'll get scared when you see it. The cat version is better."

Du Jue watched Elena running quickly to the edge of the roof with a red pillow in her mouth, and he didn't know where the other party had moved her nest.

"Where are you going?"

Elena just looked back at Du Jue and rushed off the roof.

Could it be that the blood demon has stayed in the cat's body for too long and its habits have become similar to those of a cat?

"At this time, Run Office should still be open."

Workers don’t have much time to relax during their busy schedule, so they have to continue moving forward.

Du Jue was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that he had run into a crowded and noisy crowd.

"Don't buy a coffin, free yourself from the constraints of others."

"Instead of buying a bunch of useless things for the dead, why not use the money for the living? Is the purpose of death to increase the burden on the living?"

"Right, the weather is perfect now, and we don't really need these clothes to keep warm. These are just constraints imposed on us by the city."

"What does it matter what others say? You must be a free person. This life and the world belong to our free self."

Du Jue took a closer look and realized that the guy was the psychopath in leather jacket he had seen on the rooftop before. Was there no one to take care of him? Were all the staff in the mental hospital dead?

I looked up and saw the name of the store - Standard Coffin Shop.

From precious wooden coffins to straw mats, we have packages of all sizes, and now there is a 10% discount on organ donations.

Bang!

As expected, the guy was kicked away by the clerk, which made the onlookers laugh.

I decided to avoid these lunatics and quickly walked to the door of Run Office.

"Finn."

Finn turned around and subconsciously took the owl wood carving from Du Jue. Before he could react, Du Jue went upstairs.

As soon as I opened the office door, a strong smell of cigarette smoke filled the air.

Du Jue frowned uncomfortably and saw Run scratching the wall with a cigarette in his mouth. It seemed that this place had only been roughly repaired and there were still damages in many places.

"Run, I brought you a pack of cigarettes."

Run was a little surprised. When he saw Du Jue, he put out his cigarette, walked over, picked up the cigarette box on the table, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Trophy?"

"Yes, I left it specially for you."

Unexpectedly, Run was the only one who guessed the origin of this thing. He is quite smart.

Run held the cigarette box and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Du Jue, do you want to change your identity?"

"If Jingmei finds out about your job as the cleaner, it might not be good. I have some information here for you to take a look at."

Snapped.

Du Jue picked up the stack of papers and saw that it was a ninth-level finisher with facial burns, and there was also a medical report stating that he had died.

"He's considered a veteran of the firm, but unfortunately he's timid and mediocre, and now he has bad luck."

"In the city, having no talent is the saddest thing, and it's even more hopeless for the person himself."

"If you can bring me the head of the Axe Gang cadre, I can also arrange for you to be promoted to an eighth-level finisher with this identity, but the bounty will probably be much less."

Du Jue was a little stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Run would say something so considerate of him. Is a box of cigarettes so attractive?

37 Eighth Level Finisher

"Of course, I'll let Park take care of the brain issue, but why are you so eager to help me?"

Du Jue suspected that this guy might have seen him as a lost cadre, so he finally decided to maintain contact with him to prevent the spy from escaping.

Run just turned his back and stared at the ashtray on the table.

After a moment's thought, he finally spoke.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that because you're very talented and have displayed it perfectly, your journey in the city will definitely not end here."

"If I try to get close to a high-level closer, they might not even pay me any attention even if I spend a fortune. At least you'll seem like you'll be nostalgic, and then my investment won't be wasted."

"Besides, I didn't have time to thank you for what happened with the Axe Gang before. Just consider this as part of your repayment to Run Firm."

"This new identity requires you to bandage the lower half of your face. This way, even if Jingmei becomes suspicious, she won't be able to confirm it unless you're caught in the act."

"His name is Wen Duo. He likes to cover the burns on his face with breathable bandages. He is a quiet person and has no family or friends."

Run said as he handed over a bundle of white bandages.

Looking at the bandage in his hand, Du Jue nodded and took out the medical report.

If it was this new identity, even if Run wanted to tell Jingmei about it, it would be much more troublesome, after all, the person who was in charge was Wen Duo, and he had to stop everything.

"How quickly will the promotion be finalized? Also, if I want to purchase information about the Emerald Trip, is it better to go to an independent firm or the association?"

"Why are you suddenly interested in this? A few days ago, K Company and the association issued a commission to recycle all things from the Emerald Journey. If you want to go against World Wings, you have to pay more."

“And it’s not a small amount.”

This news was not unexpected to Du Ke. It was troublesome to involve a big company, but he did not have so much cash now.

I can't just sell the building that Jingmei gave me. That guy will definitely be angry.

“But there are ways to get around it.”

Run deliberately kept the secret and raised his hand to let Finn, who was peeking at the door, leave. Before leaving, he winked and said hello to Du Jue.

Du Jue, who was still thinking about how to make money, immediately brightened up. To deal with the association, one must have a professional closer like Run.

"An eighth-level finisher is actually qualified enough to accept related missions. Although those who traveled with you may be dissatisfied, you can definitely explore the laboratory left behind by the Emerald Journey yourself."

"This kind of commission issued by World Wings is very dangerous. Who knows what kind of monsters will be in the laboratory, but at least you can get firsthand information."

"Don't take on tasks if you're not sure. Otherwise, the association will think you're unreliable during the year-end evaluation."

I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, I ended up back to working. This is really unfamiliar.

It's just that the scene has changed from gang to association.

He immediately went back to the factory and took out the head of the Shuang Axe cadre he had killed. Park Hui, who was standing next to him and wearing new clothes, pretended not to see it.

"The assessment for lower-level finishers isn't that strict. Wen Duo already has the qualifications, but he just lacks the achievements that would convince the association."

"But you'll have to go in person to get your new closer's license. Don't worry, though. All you need to bring is the certificate from Run Office and your old license."

"After all, there are so many urban transformation technologies that it's difficult to identify them based on appearance alone."

"You can handle everything on your own from now on."

Du Jue was very surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful.

It seems that the finisher system is more suitable for workers. As long as you complete tasks diligently, you can improve all the way, and there are ten clear levels for promotion.

Bustling commercial district.

The building of the Second Association for Maintaining Public Security stands at the entrance of the street, letting everyone know that this area is paid for.

The neon lights of the bright and bustling world make people involuntarily indulge in it, as if the surrounding hustle and bustle and popularity can fill the emptiness in their hearts.

I felt surrounded by noisy voices, but when I walked into an association building in the center of the block, it became much quieter.

The finishers, carrying all kinds of workshop weapons, walked back and forth between the waiting area and the reception window, without any of the impatience and rudeness typical of the back alleys.

After all, those association finishers dressed in black and white were scattered around, and even if they did nothing, one could still feel the dangerous atmosphere from them.

"Wen Duo, 26 years old, a ninth-level finisher, right?"

"Yes."

In order to be more distinctive, Du Jue even went to borrow a leather jacket and leather pants from a lunatic. Now, the lower half of his face was wrapped in white bandages, making him look a little gloomy.

The customer service staff handed the document bag out from under the bulletproof glass window with an expressionless face, and it was obvious that she was very tired after a day's work.

Congratulations on your promotion at Run Law Firm.

[Obtain crafting item: Blood-Moistening Sword]

[Description: When a killing weapon is unsheathed, one person will be injured]

[Effect: This sword can absorb blood to repair the sword body]

What beheading sword?

Avoid touching the extra heavy objects on your back. They will feel cold as blood, and your fingers will feel an inexplicable attraction when they touch them.

This thing's blood-sucking seems to be a passive skill. If it stabs a sword into someone's body, it can suck the blood out of them. Why does it give me the illusion of a blood demon?

dong dong.

The customer service representative knocked on the glass impatiently to signal Du Jue to move aside. Only then did Du Jue react and took out his brand new eighth-level finisher license.

The photo used above is a photo taken at the moment. He looks like a bandaged weirdo, and the slightly loose leather jacket covers up the details of his body.

"not bad."

Du Jue came to the mission hall excitedly. There were many small tables with electronic screens set up here, and many finishers were browsing the commissions given by the association.

Compared with the commissions received by the firm itself, the association's tasks are obviously more difficult, but the remuneration is naturally more generous.

Most of the latest commissions are related to the Vacuum Fist and Thumb, so of course we will go straight to the series of commissions released by K Company.

"My church, a new church that has emerged in the past six months, is suspected of having inherited the legacy of the Emerald Walk. Its cathedral is located on the ruins of the Emerald Walk."

"Missionary activities are currently underway in the southern part of the city. It is recommended that we start with a new mission point."

"The commission requires you to investigate the relationship between my church and the Emerald Green Tribe, and then bring back all the inheritance."

Unexpectedly, the things that puzzled Du Jue would have clues right here. It was so convenient to have a huge organization as a backer. Just by browsing these commissions, he could know the general dynamics of the city.

Stop thinking about how to enter the office directly under the association.

Unlike a gang moving to another location which is equivalent to betrayal, a closer changing firms is just a normal business behavior. Frequent job hopping will at most make some people think that the person is impetuous.

Du Jue accepted the commission without hesitation in the name of Run Firm, but this was not a commission for a single person or a team, and the payment would only be based on the person who submitted the task the fastest.

At this time, it is estimated that other finishers have already taken action, so he must leave immediately, but he can first go to the gang to inquire about the news of my church.

After all, the target of the mission is obviously a cult, and maybe the stray dog knows more than the association.

Suddenly, Du Jue stood up, walked to the corner, and took out his communicator.

Katae: Come on, come on, I'll heat up the soup. I heard you were in a gang fight yesterday, so I think you must have cooked yourself to be even more delicious.

This tone is Yi Yin!

[Du Jue: What did you do to Katae?!]

Du Jue immediately closed the screen on his desktop and stood up to go back. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the Molar Office that Thorfinn had hired before. The representative, Olga, took out the small wine flask from her coat and took a sip.

Perhaps we can cooperate with the other party on the matter of my church. After all, according to the certification of an association, this is an urban nightmare that has caused casualties of tens of thousands of people, second only to the Urban Star.

This cult has caused countless tragedies just through its awakening rituals, not to mention its terminally ill fanatics.

Fortunately, the target's high rating is due to its large number of members, not its combat power.

Katae: She said she's your doctor. It's hard to believe such a mediocre person could be your nutritionist. Fire her.
