I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 116

Hearing Dong Lang's fearful words, Du Jue simply shook his head and said, "I don't want promises, I want a deadline."

Within a month!

Bang!

Du had absolutely no trust in these city dwellers, but he believed in his own power and their fear.

"A week? No, within three days!"

Despite vomiting blood continuously, Dong Lang struggled to his feet and hurriedly explained, "I must first take some time to explain the situation to Director Alfonso. Of course, I cannot betray you, otherwise I, as the middleman, would be completely worthless!"

Upon seeing Du Jue reach out, Dong Lang closed his eyes in despair, only to find that the other person had merely patted his shoulder.

"You see, when it comes to discussing cooperation, you have to talk face-to-face to show sincerity."

Du Jue's tone was stern, but he finally felt relieved. He immediately released the deathly aura and the symphony, feeling that he needed to rest for a day. The lingering effects of the leaden gray movement were giving him a headache.

"That's right, I didn't think it through!"

How could Dong Lang, covered in blood, possibly refute? "I'll arrange for you to go through the motions for an interview tomorrow. Company L and Company K have a close partnership; we can handle something as simple as this."

"Have you enjoyed working together?"

Du Jue reached out his hand, a gesture that startled Dong Lang on the ground. He then forced a smile and reached out to shake her hand.

"Happy cooperation!"

Chapter 178 The Great Lamentation Incident.

Armored vehicles bearing the K Company logo blocked the entire street, while a large number of drones armed with weapons were systematically deployed throughout the research institute to search for survivors.

"No target found in the broiler breeding laboratory!"

The employee operating the drone inside the vehicle immediately reported the incident, which relieved his tense nerves considerably. However, the devastating battle report he had just heard made him dare not relax for a moment, and he remained vigilant about the situation outside the car window.

Reports then began pouring in from all directions.

"No target found at the recycled ampoule warehouse!"

……

"No target found in central monitoring room! Lead Gray Melody confirmed to have disappeared. Set up a cordon and begin clearing the scene!"

Listening to the noisy cleanup scene behind him, Du Jue, dressed in a K Company security uniform, silently dragged all the bodies from the handcart into the truck bed, quietly watched the driver drive it away, and then lowered his head and turned into the alley next to him.

clang.

Du Jue tentatively knocked on the lid of the trash can, and only after finding no one inside did he take off his combat uniform and throw it all in, then used the branding to set it on fire. Only then did he relax and change into a set of civilian clothes provided by Dong Lang.

The mess that followed was left to Donglang to clean up.

Du Jue wasn't too worried about the other party causing trouble again, because he could find out Dong Lang's intentions by going to the interview at L Company tomorrow. He had already fully demonstrated his abilities on this trip.

It may not seem like much compared to the sheer size of World Wings, since this is just one of its research sites, but it's more than enough to kill one person!

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

It's best to avoid getting dressed only to find that Gan Jian has suddenly turned her head and is staring at the trash can; generally speaking, she will stare at you relentlessly.

Gan Jian was a little embarrassed, but seeing Du Jue's curious expression, he couldn't help but speak up: "When I first came to the city, I found that many people threw trash into the trash cans, and everything cost money. So I thought of scraping off the words on the trash cans with a stone and changing them to money, but no one paid any attention to me."

"I really missed you back then."

"But I learned it later!"

Gan Jian tried to salvage the situation by saying, "Some guy tried to steal my sandwich, so I broke his hand and found out he had more money than me!"

"stop!"

Needless to say, Du Jue already knew what would happen next. Perhaps this was why Gan Jian ignored others. He quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I've met Gan Dao of the Vacuum Fist before. Is he my mother's godfather?"

Gan Jian recalled with confusion, then suddenly realized: "Oh, that guy was originally an employee of Company S. Later he said he would take me to Vacuum Fist to make money. He gave me a lot of my bank cards."

"Company S?"

Some doubts and suspicions arose, wondering if Vacuum Fist and Wings of the World were related.

Seeing that Du Jue was interested, Gan Jian quickly continued, "At first, I suspected that he wanted to cheat me out of money, so I checked and found that he had previously been in charge of the S Company's sandwich standards committee, soap carving competition, moth appreciation day project, and hairstyle encyclopedia compilation project."

"What are these things?!"

"I'm not sure, but the news said he was affected by the anti-corruption campaign. He must have been targeted when he was making a lot of money. Those people are really bad. I need to be careful too."

Well, being able to fire a corrupt official like Gando who's just lining his own pockets is already a testament to his good character.

Although Worldwing is a company, it also assumes governance responsibility for the corresponding nest, which is why cannibalism is rampant in Lane 23, because it is not illegal.

The contract that Obito signed with himself probably took into account the legal differences between Wings of the World.

Throughout the journey, Du Jue listened attentively to Gan Jian's ramblings about navigating the city.

"Mom, you don't need to go to Vacuum Fist anymore. I just started a company, so you don't need to investigate the Emerald Journey anymore."

Du Jue sighed and grasped Gan Jian's left hand, feeling that there was really no need for the other party to make a fuss.

"Ah."

K Nest Inspection Entrance.

Just as Du Jue stepped out of the security checkpoint, he suddenly received a call. He immediately thought it was Dong Lang or Ke Keqi, but when he picked it up, he was surprised to see it was Sinclair. The name even made him, who was affected by the phantom pain, think back for a while.

Oh, it's that shy kid from Kafka town.

"Excuse me, are you the one who finishes things up in Wenduo?"

A respectful yet anxious voice rang out.

Du Jue could almost picture the kid standing properly in front of him, and he was even more puzzled as to why the boy was calling at this time.

"how?"

"I'm so sorry if I've bothered you. I only heard about the surprise attack on K Company by Lead Grey Melody, and I only called after confirming that it was over."

Sinclair paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps this is a bit rude... but what do you think, Wendo?"

Upon hearing this, Du Jue finally realized that this kid was concerned about him. He immediately replied, "What else can you do? Go home and sit down to watch. You'd better go home too, or this brutal City Star will come and get you."

Looking up at the setting sun, Du Jue was somewhat surprised that this kid, unafraid of Lead Gray's infamous reputation, still dared to contact him.

To outsiders, Lead Grey Melody is probably an antisocial lunatic who despises the Wings of the World. Even if you heard about him, you wouldn't think he's a normal person who can communicate peacefully.

Sinclair remained silent for a long time before speaking: "I... understand. Worldwing is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. Perhaps... I am not very capable, but I will do my best if needed."

"Really? Then I'll remember that."

Du Jue said bluntly, then suddenly became interested and teased, "You sound scared. If Lead Grey Symphony really comes to arrest you, you can come to me."

"Thank you, Wenduo, for finishing up, but this is a decision I made after flipping a coin. Even if I'm scared, I have to do it!"

After hanging up the call, Du Jue thought for a moment and realized that the security chief of the Green Journey, Shamisen, really needed a high-level prosthetic body, and Kafka Town was also a good partner. He immediately sent a message and checked the live stream comments.

Hey!

This Future Life Insurance company is actually advertising here! I can't stand it, so I'm banning their account!

After blocking Future Life Insurance, I finally saw Roland's problem.

To be honest, even knowing the general plot, Du Jue really doesn't know where in the city can be considered safe.

suburbs?

That place was already teeming with monsters, and the leaders couldn't handle the impurities they were throwing out.

Back alley?

The Five Fingers may sound nice, but they're all gangs; murder and arson are commonplace for them.

As for the inside of the nest, it is much safer, but the people of Worldwing still like to treat the residents as consumables, such as the unscrupulous researcher Donglang.

[To Roland: Anything is possible in the city; To Boga: What you keep in mind will surely come to pass]

Now, it seems that the city girl has become an object of prayer for some people. This guy, Boga, was promoted by his superiors and actually attributed the credit to the city girl. He's quite a character.

Du Jue only glanced at the news and found that the websites related to the K Nest's great lamentation incident were all experiencing connection failures. By then, it was too late for him to see them.

[Katae: Brother, Olivia said she wants to be the finisher and wants you to teach her a few moves.]

Chapter 179 Agreement.

Nursery.

As soon as Du Jue got downstairs, he saw the thank-you board at the entrance, which listed the names of many donors. He finally recognized Sasha and Darcy on the board; they seemed to be the two who had lent him coins before.

"Brother Du Jue!"

Olivia, who was leaning on the new railing on the second floor, excitedly leaned out and saw Du Jue. Surprised, she looked up and jumped down, stepping on the railing.

puff!

Du Jue quickly and firmly held him in his arms, then scolded him with some displeasure: "Don't do such dangerous things. From now on, take the stairs normally."

"It's okay, anyway, Brother Dujue is down there!"

Olivia nonchalantly reached out and patted Du Jue's face, then blinked her big eyes expectantly and asked, "Brother Du Jue, are you here to train me to be a cleanup person? I want to be like you in the future!"

"Uh, if you're like me, then forget it."

In the room, Pianjiang thoughtfully cooked a pot of hot porridge, then sat down next to Du Jue with a reassuring expression, watching Olivia wriggle excitedly in Du Jue's arms.

Avoid taking advantage of rare free time to pull out your communicator and check for messages you missed earlier.

[A: Are these people crazy? They're fighting me over a stupid doll. Luckily, the shamisen prosthetic you recruited is pretty good.]

[A: Where are you? Reply to me! Did you read the message and pretend you didn't see it?]

Below is a selfie of Zhang Yi in front of the truck, with Wei Yi and Yi Yi carrying cardboard boxes behind him.

[Stop talking]

[A: You're just trying to fool me!]

Olga: Are you out of your mind? I heard you got into trouble with the middle finger and thumb after just one job. I'm really afraid someone will break down the door when we're drinking together.

[The answer is: Then just quit.]

Olga: You wish!

Then came a photo of two cans of pineapple beer stacked together.

Elena: Who is that woman?! She actually called me dirty! I'm so angry! You probably think so too, Du Jue!

[Never say: I miss you.]

Du Jue reluctantly sent her location, realizing that city dwellers can be quite sensitive sometimes. She immediately saw the cute little tiger tooth photo Elena sent.

[Park Hoi: Damn, Du Jue, you left just in time. Vacuum Fist is too difficult to deal with. Luckily, the Six Associations wiped out our southern headquarters.]

[Yi Yin: Mom, do you want me to bring you some chicken marinated in Lead Gray Symphony? This time it's all fresh stuff from K Nest, of course! Nothing beats Mom!]

Du Jue felt a headache coming on when she saw the news. She wondered if she should send a few arms to this glutton using ampoules, so that at least she wouldn't be eating people anymore.

[Coco: Great! You delivered just in time! I'm truly honored to have participated in the performance of the Lead Gray Symphony, even though my contribution is insignificant! Do you know how rare it is to have such a large-scale chorus performance that is publicly recorded?!]

[Roland: Wow, buddy, you've made quite a stir with your commission. I heard someone's already declared you their nemesis. By the way, does City Girl offer target intelligence services?]

Du Jue was too lazy to bother with these two. He could contact them when he needed them. Then he dragged Pianjiang and Olivia to lie down on the big bed after a long time.

crunch.

The Blood Demon's head peered out of the window, but when Du Jue turned around, he only saw strands of hair flying in the wind.

The next day.

Lobotomy Corporation K-02 Branch.

"It's that simple?!"

Du Jue looked at the clerical staff in front of him in disbelief. He hadn't expected the job interview to be so simple; he had hardly been asked any difficult questions.
