I am a working emperor in Lobotomy City

"Yes, yes. I was the smiling man at the front of the parade. It was so glorious. But without the official certification, they wouldn't let me dance."

"It's a pity that I specially learned the smile dance. Not many people can do it now."

The other two responded with a smile, as if they were not talking about any past events related to them at all, as if they could always be full of smiles by wearing a smiling face.

Du Jue couldn't help but ask.

"Then what happened?"

"Hahaha, of course the parade turned into a riot! I still remember that huge fire that nearly burned the entire area down. No one could expect to be safe."

"But that's all in the past. Aren't we out now just to vent and plunder? We can just kill those noble executives we don't like, and we can easily get money and fame. It's really just as happy as it was at the beginning."

"Yeah, yeah. It makes me emotional when I think about how we drove out the gangs before. Time flies so fast."

“That exhibition hall is really making me want to try it.”

Du Jue had previously thought these three people were inherently evil gangsters, but he never expected that they had such a tortuous and bizarre past. He was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Du Jue becoming a little sad, Lao Wang chuckled and patted the table, then took out a stack of dark red cloth from the side.

"Before you came, Smiley Face spent some money to buy information from the Vision Office. Master Wim is not in the exhibition hall. We can just go and parade tonight. Smiley Face and the others will be there too."

"The only ones we have to deal with are the Association security guards and the Ring Finger guys. They're probably just apprentices or something like that, nothing to worry about."

"By the way, do you know the Leaden Movement?"

These words immediately made Du Jue feel like he was falling into an icy cave. Fortunately, his strong resilience allowed him to keep his expression calm and not reveal any flaws. When he looked up, he found that all three of them were looking at him.

No one picked up the pipe, it seemed like they were just chatting, but Du Jue still didn't dare to be careless.

"I have some friends who are closers, and I heard that this is a rising urban star recently."

"Yes, the chefs and the Ring Finger are all very interested in it, but we've never heard of such a person appearing in Alley 23 before."

"But there's more than just a few people interested. The art auction there is nothing like Master Wim's solo exhibition. I heard it's an annual event for the Ring Finger, held in a random location in the back alley to avoid trouble within the nest."

"Tsk, the city is full of accidents. No one's predictions count. Look, everyone died in one accident, including many important figures. I think it was a brilliant job, hahaha!"

"Hehe, just like Wim, he didn't expect us to visit. So everyone should prepare themselves and don't make a fool of themselves in the parade."

Lao Wang stood up and everyone dispersed on the spot.

He draped the dark red cloth over his body. He was too lazy to ask a tailor to make it into clothes, so he simply wrapped it around his arms and body like a close-fitting cloak.

He rolled up the red cloth and stuffed it into his clothes, then bought a new bundle of bandages from the nearby store and wrapped it around the lower half of his face.

He can't go home yet, he has to rush to the next event to deal with his boss, after all, the social engagements cannot stop.

Drool bar.

This special plum juice will make your mouth water. Different flavors of wine candies can turn your saliva into fine wine, allowing you to mix your own drinks. You can control the taste of the wine yourself!

【Self-produced and self-sold, absolutely natural! 】

After passing by the creative banner, I was quickly led into the box without saying Olga's name. As soon as I entered, I saw a table full of colorful candies, which could probably be made into a color spectrum.

"Wen Duo, come and try this thing, it's really interesting. I've never drunk saliva wine before, but I have to drink water from time to time, otherwise my lips will be dry."

"I specially reserved a place for you in the new list!"

Olga raised her hand and greeted Du Jue casually. Next to her sat a kind woman with a smile on her face. She looked very gentle with white gauze gloves on her hands.

Du Jue, who was sitting down, suddenly thought, what should he do if the commission and the parade conflicted?

Chapter 71 Nightfall.

"That's about it. There's a commission for the Ring Finger Exhibition Hall, but don't worry, Wen Duo. We don't need to fight against those gang artists. We just need to save one person."

"The order is clear and unambiguous. As long as we don't make a big fuss, it'll be fine."

Olga grabbed a handful of wine-flavored candies and stuffed them into her mouth, then placed the photo on the glass coffee table, so as to avoid having to see what Park Hui's sister looked like until this moment.

She had long blue hair and sat in a dignified and formal manner, but her unsure and evasive eyes made her look very weak.

"This commission is quite difficult, so I plan to invite Mika, Ryan, and you. This is Pearlie, the representative of the glove firm."

"He's also a fifth-level finisher, and he's also been involved in commissions for my church before. He's very reliable."

Pearlie folded her hands in white gauze gloves, looking reserved like a young lady, but she didn't care about her image like Olga did.

"Hello, Mr. Wenduo, after preliminary investigation, we found that the personal exhibition will only last for three days, so we plan to take action when the museum closes."

"This way, we can avoid conflict with the ring finger to the greatest extent possible. Now we just need to confirm the target's location in the exhibition hall."

"So soon? I was thinking of waiting until they were packing up and shipping the things away, then I could just hijack the car and drive it directly to the client."

Olga put her legs on Pearly's feet without any grace, forcing her to move them away with her hands helplessly.

"Come on, Wen Duo, you eat too."

He leaned back to avoid the colorful alcohol-flavored candies, and was very shocked by their slow plan. If he got promoted like this, who could stand it?

What's more, Park Hui might be treated inhumanely if she stays in the exhibition hall.

“I have an idea!”

Du Jue stood up suddenly, letting Olga snort as he ate all the candy, and then went to get a new bottle of plum juice.

"Oh? Mr. Wen Duo, do you have anything else to add?"

Pearlie looked at Du Jue strangely, not quite understanding what insights this subordinate of Olga could have.

It’s not that she looks down on low-level finishers, but the Ring Finger is not something that people of this level can access, and she probably hasn’t seen many commissions involving the Ring Finger.

"In fact, I have a friend in Laughing Noodles."

Before Du Jue could continue speaking, Olga, with flushed cheeks, put her arm around him, and the hot smell of alcohol blew onto Du Jue's face, making him feel like he was in an alcohol sauna.

"No wonder!"

"So you were able to complete that commission by getting in through the back door. You're quite capable of completing commissions as a finisher, Wen Duo."

"I can't let a treasure collector like you get away. Come on, have a drink!"

Pearl sighed softly.

"Olga, next time, please don't discuss things in a place like this."

"Ahem, sorry, Pearlie."

After Olga calmed down, Du Jue spoke seriously.

"Smiling Face is planning to attack the exhibition hall tonight, so there's no waiting or avoiding conflict. We just need to follow them and do our thing."

"The plan is just that simple, because if it gets more complicated it will be too late."

"It's almost late night in the back alley."

At this time, Pearlie stood up, her brows furrowed, obviously considering what to say, and then shook her head.

"This is too hasty, and are you sure the information is correct? The scavengers will be very troublesome to deal with. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we will all die."

"No matter how powerful a finisher is, he won't go out into the back alleys late at night. There are too many scavengers. So many that he'll die of exhaustion."

What Pearly said was true. Even a powerful first-level finisher could not withstand the human wave tactics of a lower-level enemy.

Du Jue realized why the Association designated Lead Gray Melody as the City Star so quickly. After all, Death Pain is a lethal AOE that can continuously expand the attack range.

"It's okay. We can just rent a house nearby temporarily. When the time comes, we can have our own people open the door. The scavengers will become a good helper to stop the pursuers."

"That sounds great, let's do it!"

Seeing that Olga agreed with this proposal very much, and since it was the other party who invited her to participate in this operation, Pearlie nodded.

"Well, I'll contact the person right away. I hope everything goes well."

Pearlie stood up and wanted to leave, but Du Jue immediately spoke up to patch herself up.

"I can't be with you on this operation. You can understand, I think. I've only met my friend a few times before, and it would be bad if the Smiling Face guy figured out we were connected."

"I understand. Then you can act alone and I will explain it to the others."

The night waits a long time before stopping looking up.

Du, who changed into a smiling red dress, looked desperately at the dark sky dotted with silver moon and felt that the starry sky in the city was a little strange. There were bright lights everywhere, but he could still see so many stars.

Suddenly he picked up a coin from the ground, threw it into the air and gave himself instructions.

[Use a coin to confirm whether you are a City Star. Heads means yes, tails means no.]

The coin bounced immediately after it hit the ground, spinning around on the rough concrete road surface, and suddenly fell into the sewer through a gap.

"What does it mean?"

Du Jue squatted down in surprise to see the coin more clearly, but was shocked to find that the thing was stuck in the black mud, with neither front nor back.

Bang! !

It was late at night in the back alley and the streets were empty and quiet, except for a huge fire that erupted in front of the exhibition hall. The vehicle that hit the gate exploded instantly, smashing the door and its frame into pieces.

A large number of smiling members wearing red clothes and holding various types of pipes immediately emerged from all directions, led by Wang, Mei and Jin.

"Du Jue, what are you looking at? There's nothing we want there. Let's act quickly."

Screams and shouts were heard everywhere on the first floor.

The members of the Second Association who were sleeping on the floor were instantly awakened and immediately started fighting with Xiao Mian who rushed in.

The VIP tourists who stayed in the exhibition hall were in even greater chaos. Du Jue, who walked in slowly, was somewhat surprised that there were still so many people here after dark.

But he didn't hesitate and rushed straight to the second floor.

"What a bunch of barbarians who don't understand beauty."

A bronze statue wearing a small round hat was blocking the entrance to the second-floor stairs. Du Jue immediately recognized that the other person was the Thinker, and smoke immediately filled his body like clouds.

Wow!

Who knew that the bronze statue had no intention of confronting him head-on. It suddenly stepped back and raised its hand to push over a large number of canned paints beside it.

The staircase was suddenly flooded with colors. Even the drifting smoke was stained with a light color, becoming like cotton candy, and a pungent smell spread.

Just as Du Jue was about to step over the paint and move forward, he saw that the blended colorful paints instantly corroded the cement stairs, causing white smoke to come out. The nausea and dizziness he had felt before came to his mind again.

Fuck! You guys use this stuff to draw?!

"Your gas mask is quite nice. I want to paint on your face. Then I'll skin you alive. Maybe I can surpass Mr. Wim's skin painting."

Du Jue hurried downstairs to avoid the paint corrosion and looked up to see that the bronze statue was holding a palette in one hand and a paintbrush like a pistol in the other.

He slowly raised his thumb and began to compare the size of Du Jue.

"Let's start painting."

call out!

The caltrops wrapped in smoke shot out towards the bronze statue as fast as lightning.

72

Chapter 72 Pigments.

There was a noticeable gap in the right shoulder of the bronze statue, and he couldn't help but back away. As soon as he stabilized himself, he saw a puff of smoke flying up the stairs.

clang!

The paintbrush pistol blocked the incoming boning knife in time.

"Smiley! How dare you destroy Master Wim's exhibition!"

The angry apprentice twisted the brush instantly, and the paint-filled tip cut through the surrounding smoke but only hit the air. He immediately turned his head in panic.

A sharp boning knife instantly pierced the skin on his temple.

Swish!

"Uhhh! Mei can't see me!"

Even though the bronze statue tried its best to dodge, the terrifyingly sharp boning knife still pierced its eye sockets. Both of its eyes were instantly blinded and it bent over in pain, covering its face.

He flipped the blade, not wanting to waste time talking to this psychopath, and immediately chopped off his head.
