I am a working emperor in Lobotomy City

Du Jue grabbed a chair and sat in front of her, starting to question her directly.

"What is the Emerald Journey?"

"It's a technology alliance that studies prosthetics and consciousness. They initially wanted me to join, but together with two other researchers, they created a prototype of a personality chip. Later, they expanded through mergers and acquisitions."

"Relying on hammers, regenerative ampoule fluid, and glass window technology to achieve perfect world travel—this is the ultimate effect the Techno Alliance aims to achieve."

"Do you know the Pope of my church?"

"Um, it seems that he is a person recruited later by the Emerald Green Trip. His name is An Ke, and he is in charge of the research institute specializing in personality chips."

"Don't ask me why he went crazy and made such a big fuss in the back alley. I can't guess what a madman is thinking. I'm just an investor!"

"You couldn't guess him, so how did you guess mine?! I'm telling you, I have a special way of detecting lies!"

Don't immediately take out a coin and slam it on the table.

"Don't worry, my strength is that I understand the situation. I would never lie!"

"But ever since the time travel experiment started, those guys have all become abnormal, and I don't have the ability to read minds!"

After struggling to get up, Weiban hurriedly explained, fearing that he would start a fight if they disagreed.

"The thing is, the Emerald Trip's theory had already been perfected, so I decided to seize the opportunity to help the Emerald Trip attack K Company and obtain the top-secret regeneration ampoule solution."

"At the time, Emerald Green Journey was losing ground in the patent war. In this precarious situation, Chief Researcher Du went against all odds and directly launched the world travel experiment."

"Once we succeed, we'll be rich. By then, we just need to show off our skills to the other World Wings and secure investment, which will allow us to challenge K Company. I might even become the founder of World Wings. It's a chance to skyrocket!"

Du Jue frowned and looked at Wei Ban's flushed face, and couldn't help but interrupt.

"That Encore from my church told me that the Emerald Journey was a success, but your leader got too excited in the other world and betrayed the organization."

"He knows nothing. The core technology of the Emerald Journey is in the hands of the original three people. It's a precious asset!"

"Du Jue did succeed in his crossover, and our entire alliance was excited. But three days later, I received bad news about the other two—that guy died."

"You see? Everything was fine for three days after the successful experiment, and then suddenly died. This means that the technology of the Emerald Journey has an unknown fatal flaw!"

"And there's only one person left who masters this technique, because the other guy went crazy for no apparent reason. I've never seen anyone suddenly transform into a banyan tree."

"The situation was originally very good, but it took a sudden turn for the worse. Only that guy and I can still manage it."

"We can't declare the Cuilv trip a waste at this critical moment. Everyone, please stop fighting and wait for us to correct our mistakes. I can only make the right choice!"

Du Jue immediately understood the reason for the tail spot's back thorns. It turned out that Cuilv's trip was too radical, thinking about making big news all day long.

"So I had no choice but to announce my plan to recall the leader from the other world and use this opportunity to gather everyone together. To be honest, I don't quite understand why even the leader is paying attention to us. I just informed K Company."

"Then why did that An Ke kid say that I was the mark of your leader's personality?"

"Ahem, when I recalled him that day, I knew the leader had long since died and couldn't fill in the original location. I could only randomly input some parameters. I swear it was absolutely a random string of numbers. Logically, it shouldn't have worked."

Snapped.

Du Jue looked at the silver coin facing up and nodded.

"But when I was assisting in the cleanup, I discovered that the recall was successful, which was simply impossible, so I secretly wrote down the coordinates and deleted the data."

"I thought you were a rare and unique specimen, so I sent someone to retrieve it because I thought you could fetch a high price. This information is definitely unknown to anyone, so there's no need to kill to silence you."

"Perhaps he's simply gone mad? Or perhaps he's trying to protect you under surveillance? After all, it's just a trace of consciousness, so perhaps it won't be cleared by the leader."

The situation seemed to become clearer, and Du Jue's arrival was just a coincidence.

"But why did I lose my memory?"

"Amnesia? Honestly, if the recall technique selects a leader who hasn't undergone hammer transformation, then what comes out should be just a personality. But I've never seen a situation like yours."

"Really? That Anxin swore that I had no memory before the age of 23, and I really can't remember it either."

Weiban immediately stared at Dujue in horror.

"I really don't know about that! If it's a personality transfer, the memory will be fuzzy at best. Even if there is amnesia, it won't disappear so neatly. This is not like cutting a cake! And I'm not a technical person!"

"Of course. Do you think it's possible that it was teleported to someone else?"

Snapped.

The coin still returned heads, indicating that the other party was not lying. Du Jue suddenly became confused and considered the statement about the tail spot.

Was he really divided into two?

The city can’t have another half of itself!

[Throws up the chopsticks and points to the missing part with the tip]

He threw it several times in succession, but the command kept circling near the building. He had never encountered a situation where the empty command was completely ineffective. He immediately pondered the reason and suddenly looked up to ask Weiban.

"Where is the headquarters of the Verdant Tribe?"

"We dug a huge factory underground for secret research, and all entry and exit are strictly inspected."

correct!

Chopsticks can only indicate the direction of a plane. He should find a dice with six sides to represent front, back, left, right, up and down. He should not rush out to buy a bag of dice.

[Toss the dice to indicate the location of the lost part. 123456 represents front, back, left, right, up, and down.]

Da da da.

5 o'clock, 5 o'clock and 5 o'clock, the direction the city is pointing to is actually upwards!

This result was completely beyond Du Ke's expectations. Half of his body was not underground but in the sky?!

Du Jue looked up at the dark night sky, and a deep darkness rose from the bottom of his heart, making him shiver.

"How can it be in the sky? Isn't there nothing here?!"

Looking at those shining stars, a creepy guess suddenly came to Du Jue's mind.

The stars in Lobotomy City are no ordinary celestial bodies. In layman's terms, they are manifestations of evil gods that can distort reality. Once you leave the protection of the city, you may come into contact with them.

This means that these stars are conscious, which means that there is something not completely empty in the sky.

"The part of me that lost my memory is on the Metropolis Star?"

Such an outrageous and bizarre idea made Du Jue unsure. He hesitated and stood there, quickly giving the order to toss the coin.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The coin keeps spinning.

The coin keeps spinning.

The coin keeps spinning.

It wasn't until it finished its long spin that the answer was finally revealed - heads up!

Shit! It really is!

Du Jue was stunned by the shock and understood everything completely!

The Emerald Trip was not destroyed by the leader because of some bullshit time travel and personality chip technology, but because they really wanted to cross the entire city and become a city star in the sky!

98

Chapter 98 Heads.

My horse's butt is hanging in the sky?!

Such a truth is simply unbelievable!

Du Jue returned to the room, holding his head in frustration, not knowing what to say. Wei Ban, who was standing next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Du Jue was not crazy, and then carefully observed the changes in his expression.

"Ahem, theoretically speaking, you're a new Du Jue, so the events of the Cuilv trip have nothing to do with you. How about we just pretend that nothing happened and just live our own lives?"

Bang!

Du Jue sneered when she heard that, raised her hand and punched the dwarf to the ground again. Did she think she could just brush off the two attacks before? She was dreaming.

"Let me put you back and continue to cause trouble for you? Why not just end it all here?"

"No, if I don't go back to the company, they will definitely continue to track down the murderer. Although my position is not high, World Wings will not allow unknown people to attack the company's management."

"Besides, not all the people on the Emerald Green Trip are dead. For example, I saved Shamisen. That guy Anko probably has a personality chip backup. After all, his technical adaptability is higher than Shamisen's."

"This personality chip transformation has a success rate, and completing the backup requires a strong will and stable emotions. Otherwise, it is easy for mutations to occur, causing the chip to be destroyed. Therefore, even in the Emerald Trip, not many people have undergone this operation."

"But I already knew that the remaining veteran researcher must have a backup in the suburbs. If these remnants of the Emerald Tribe target you, you'll be completely helpless. I can definitely provide you with intelligence, even including information about K Company!"

Looking at the preservation box and a dozen regeneration ampoules on the table, Du Jue felt that it would be a bit troublesome to kill the tail spot now. It would be better to keep it in the box and take it out when needed. As for letting her go, that was too far-fetched.

"I know you're so difficult to deal with, you definitely don't have any other intentions. After all, the cost is too high. This time, the secret laboratory I worked so hard to build is ruined. I will definitely not do something like this that will only lose money again!"

"But you're someone who likes to seize opportunities. If you realize through my case what taboos the Emerald Journey truly touches, you'll undoubtedly report me."

"Taboo? What do you mean?!"

With a sincere look on his face, Weiban frowned in confusion, a little bewildered by Du Jue's words. Wasn't Cuilv Xing targeted by the leader because of traveling through the world?

If she were the leader, she would definitely not allow the city to have such uncontrollable technology!

When Du Jue saw Wei Ban's expression, he immediately realized that this guy was just a lucky speculator. He had not touched upon or did not care about the truth of the city, and had no idea what the leader really cared about.

The half-body problem that needs to be solved now is probably not something that can be solved in a short time. Either we find the veteran researcher who may have survived, or we leave the protection of the city and go to the suburbs to look up at the stars.

He must solve this problem. No one wants to lose the memory of the first half of his life inexplicably, and it is not certain whether what is lost is memory. Perhaps it is something intangible like the soul or existence.

What is even more puzzling is that it is hard to imagine what the half of the body in the sky has become. How can human consciousness be placed on the stars!

What if this unknown object falls from the sky one day and comes to find him in the city? Will Du Jue be able to escape?!

Maybe I can bow down before the evil star god and become his guide.

"According to you, one of the three veteran researchers of the Emerald Journey died, and one went insane. What's the name of the remaining researcher who might have survived, and what does he look like?"

I don’t know if the air command talent can still be useful in the suburbs. After all, this thing only allows the city to provide help to oneself, but it does not make one become the son of the world.

"Um, amnesiac, do you understand? When they wiped out the Emerald Trip, that guy used an unknown method to erase our memories of her. Although she was eventually killed by her minions, her body was blown to pieces beyond recognition."

"That's why I suspect she might have noticed my new investment strategy and is already preparing for it. She might be hiding in the suburbs right now. These three guys are probably conducting other research experiments without the knowledge of the other members of the Emerald Trip."

This is trouble.

Even if you use an empty command to find someone, you have to make sure you don't know the person. After all, the city won't make a ding sound to remind you who the target is. As long as you don't run into the target, the command will naturally become invalid.

If he leaves the city and goes to the suburbs now, not to mention that the place is full of crazy research institutes and secret bases and is full of dangers, the journey will take a lot of time. But he still wants to be promoted to a finisher and join L Company before the launch of the Seed of Light!

Time is very tight, so the matter of City Star can only be put on the back burner!

Du Jue took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp as he looked at Wei Ban. The dwarf also keenly captured the changes in Du Jue and slid smoothly to his knees on the ground.

thump!

"Sir! Please let me follow you. I can't stay in K Company any longer. You've only been in the city for a short time and you've already created such a big scene. I've heard of your reputation as a gang member. You even defeated the fully armed Shamisen. It's my honor to be your subordinate!"

"I can see that you are very ambitious. If we work together, oh no! With my help, I will definitely allow you to enter K Company or other World Wings!"

"If you're worried about me, there's no need to worry. We can go to the notary office, or you can tell me about the so-called taboos you just mentioned. The leaders won't bother erasing the memories of those who violate them. They'll simply eliminate the destabilizing factors."

"I must have escaped this before because I didn't know about this. Now that I know, it's even more impossible for me to tip off the leader."

"I do like to seize opportunities, but now my Lord, you are the new opportunity in the city!"

Du Jue looked with a strange expression at a petite woman with wavy green hair who was kneeling before him, her face full of admiration and her mouth never stopping for a moment.

This guy might also have the talent to be a good person in the Good Guys Agency. He was almost tempted by what he said.

However, after what happened during the trip to Cuilv, Weiban still didn't learn his lesson and actually wanted to get information about taboos from him. This was already endangering his own safety.

If the information is leaked, no matter whether half of my body becomes a star or not, I will definitely be executed immediately by the leader.

"Well!"

With his little face covered by Dujue's big hand, Weiban stared at Dujue with longing eyes, and immediately licked Dujue's palm like a pet dog without any shame.

Du Jue clamped Wei Ban's shoulder with his other hand with an expressionless face, which immediately made her expression change. She could no longer hold back her emotions and started to curse.

"Stop it, you idiot! What bad luck did I have to run into a money-losing bastard like you? It would have been fine once, but now it's happening a second time!"

"Ahhh! I'm going to bite you to death, you bitch!"

Click!

He drew the boning knife from his waist, and without hesitation, he put the fresh head back into the storage box.
