I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

He knocked back the werewolves who were attacking him with a single punch. Du Jue immediately realized that those guys hadn't fled far but were lurking in the dense forest of mirrors. Acting rashly would only lead to his death.

After all, the sheer number of mirrors was dazzling, making it impossible to immediately discern the direction from which the enemy was attacking.

"Stop running around!"

Before the finisher could even rejoice as he rushed into the hole, he discovered that the werewolf who had been lying in ambush on the dark ground ahead had opened its bright yellow eyes.

He held his weapon against the opponent's claws, but couldn't spare a hand to block the gaping maw that was now 180 degrees wide. He felt as if the guillotine of death was right in front of him.

Tear!

Du Jue leaped to his feet, pressing the head of the finisher down, and pierced the werewolf's head through its throat with a single slash. The werewolf's taut mouth immediately relaxed, and the corpse quickly transformed back into human form.

"Come back!"

The panicked person was dragged back into the church by Du Jue. He glared at Du Jue with a mixture of joy and anger, finding Du Jue's contradictory actions of both saving and harming him incomprehensible.

In a short time, the besieged and returned workers regrouped.

"The outside is full of cult lackeys. Even if you escape the church, you'll be too conspicuous and won't be able to escape at all!"

"Is this why you dragged me back? I was almost able to escape!"

“Listen to me, these cultists are so devoted to that leader, why don’t we go and kidnap him? Even if he dies, we can dress him up and pretend he’s still alive.”

"If we stick together, we're less likely to be ambushed, and isn't that much safer than fleeing alone? I don't need to tell you how big the parish is."

Do not speak while being wary of cult members in front of you.

With the help of his two companions' feigned attack, the tiger monster finally threw the man it was holding to the ground and then roared as it charged at the group.

"Sasha, don't worry about me!"

The blood-soaked man was helped up by his companions, his face and heart filled with emotion. However, a werewolf suddenly appeared from the sky, causing his pupils to shrink and him to push Sasha away.

Tear!

A heavy sword from the workshop slashed horizontally from the side, cutting the werewolf in half at the waist. Its intestines and blood splattered all over the man and Sasha, the crimson covering them resembling their festive wedding dresses.

Du Jue's forehead veins bulged, and behind him were three workshop longswords held by binding wires, which he had picked up from the ground when he called everyone back.

At this moment, he felt that the workshop hamster gave him a completely different experience of body manipulation, just like controlling a game character. As long as he wanted to make a move, his body would immediately and without fail.

Even if the task involves using heavy weapons like carving knives!

"What's your name?"

"put an end to."

"We'll go with you to kidnap the cult leader!"

Du Jue's eyes lit up immediately. He watched as Sasha helped the person up. The others who were cleaning up the mess agreed after only a brief consideration of the pros and cons, seeing Du Jue's strength.

After all, there were no other priests inside the church, making it safer than the terrifying sea of ​​cultists outside.

"You have once again entangled your relationships, and the chains of imprisonment in the city are constantly growing."

The tiger-man covered his face and howled in agony, as if his heart and lungs had been ripped out. His human form finally collapsed at this moment, and the monster, whose limbs could still be barely discerned, charged forward recklessly.

While everyone was distracted, they hurriedly continued collecting the workshop weapons on the ground.

In less than half a minute, a large number of workshop tools were placed diagonally behind the device, and dense gray threads tightly bound it.

"Get out of the way!"

Du Jue's unparalleled speed allowed him to cross the battle line in an instant. His boning knife precisely sliced ​​through the monster's skin and flesh, performing a masterful dismemberment surgery as if he were a skilled butcher.

Only after Du Jue stood up from the carpet of blood and flesh did the men swallow hard and look at each other in disbelief that the monster had died so easily.

"go!"

No one dared to object to Du Jue, who was covered in blood.

Straight past that annoying mirror, you'll see a huge, pale green open space with a familiar black cone hanging in the center—clearly a miniature version of the church.

To everyone's surprise, apart from a corpse directly beneath the cone, there was no one else.

"Why are there no guards left in the Baptismal Forest? Did they run away?"

"No, that corpse is the target of the mission!"

"If we wipe the blood off, it should still be usable, since those lunatics don't seem to be very intelligent anyway."

Suddenly, a fair hand emerged from the hole through which the black cone was suspended. The black cone, as large as a football field, actually had an interior space, just like a real church.

Du Jue stared nervously at the protruding face, which was surprisingly well-proportioned, unlike the wild temperament of the others.

"How come he looks exactly like my cult leader? Is he a clone?"

Boom!

The black cone suddenly fell, creating an extremely piercing sound wave. Du Jue quickly covered his ears, feeling a churning in his stomach. However, his strong resilience allowed him to continue forward.

Now that the cult leader is dead, he can only ask the guy who emerged about the journey to Emerald Green. He's gone to such lengths that he can't possibly return empty-handed.

The white-clad man who had just crawled out was lifted up by Du Jue and slammed against the black cone.

"I'm asking you, what exactly are they researching during the Emerald Journey?! Are they trying to capture me?!"

The man just stared at himself, lost in thought.

"Have you forgotten? We walked through the dense forest, searching for that light of freedom."

An unimaginable surprise emerged. He could accept whatever the other party said, but he was afraid of being completely clueless. Otherwise, how long would it take him to figure out about the assassin squad?

Even though there has only been one attack so far, the feeling of being targeted is tormenting me day and night.

"Stop speaking in riddles, tell me!"

Du Jue pulled out the workshop's longsword and pinned it to the man's ear, then grabbed his shoulder and pressed him against the black cone again, causing him to groan.

The man's expression became extremely strange; Du Jue couldn't even tell if it was laughter or anger, only that the answer was within reach, and his anxiety grew.

"The hammer can solidify the mind of the test subject, and even completely extract the subject's consciousness when extracting personality. The personality chip has already verified this."

"And that window allows us to glimpse the splendor of parallel worlds, but unfortunately only personalities can be transmitted through it."

“Sending consciousness into another world is too dangerous. If it were to summon a personality, we could prepare a precise location, but if it were sent there, it might land in an abyss or the ocean, or even land on a rock.”

"But there is a singularity technology that can restore the body to its original state in accordance with consciousness, and that is K Company's regeneration fluid. Could there be a more coincidental thing than this?"

Skeptical, I refused to put down the workshop weapons, and couldn't find any related storylines in the game.

"The Violet Teardrops have given us the tools to inject Singularity Technology into serum. What reason do we have not to seize that ultimate light of freedom?"

"Nothing can be more liberating than traversing the world, where no relationship can bind you, not even the eyes and claws of the city can restrict you."

Du Jue was greatly alarmed and quickly turned to look at the other people who were finishing up, only to find that there was only a group of wild beasts tearing at each other and killing each other.

When did they become like this? Are there cult members lying in wait?

"No, no, no, what does the trip to Emerald Green have to do with you? And do you even know who I am?"

"You're making up lies right here!"

55 Imbalance

"Hehe, I'm a member of the Emerald Journey. Isn't that why you came here?"

"The Hammer Labs have been destroyed by the Chief. I am merely surviving here using a personality chip, but the Wings of the World will not let me go."

Du Jue looked at the man's fresh flesh and felt a sense of disbelief. Then she thought of herself and could no longer hold back and spoke.

This is definitely not the game world I know!

"The Green Journey was wiped out because you all wanted to travel to another world together? I came here because of your experiment?"

"This is utterly absurd!"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately roared excitedly.

"absurd?!"

"You went to the land of freedom alone, but forgot all of us to suffer all kinds of torment in this unbearable hell. Now it is just to let you return to your homeland!"

"The forest has been completely scorched and blackened, and we can't go anywhere. At this moment, I can only turn my back on the light of freedom and seek the freedom of the soil, so that all the relationships here can be melted away!"

boom!

A tremendous shockwave emanated from the black cone, shattering all the mirrors inside the church visibly from the inside out, and then propagating through the holes throughout the entire parish.

Du Jue hurriedly dragged the man outside the church. The man was already bleeding from his eyes and nose from the shock, but his physical condition was almost the same as that of an ordinary person.

He roughly pressed the man to the ground, and when Du Jue turned his head, he saw that the entire parish had rioted. The horrifying scene shocked Du Jue greatly.

"Roar!"

Du Jue turned his head and saw countless coarse hairs covering his body, and the wild roars stirred up countless howling ripples, which in the next moment unleashed a huge wave of beasts he had never seen before.

With such an outrageous scale, several back alleys will likely be affected.

Du Jue immediately realized that the sound was probably a way to trigger the counterattack hammer, which was why the finishers had turned into beasts. But why was he the only one who was unaffected?

"Are you crazy? Why did you create such a disaster?!"

"With so many people, the stampede alone could cause tens of thousands of injuries and deaths!"

The wildness had materialized, leveling all the buildings in the parish before sweeping away, the chaotic, earth-shaking noises sending chills down one's spine.

"You can no longer understand this pitiful freedom of briefly escaping the city, because you have abandoned hell from your heart, just as you want to abandon us completely!"

"Let them play freely, it's a pity that you and I are both hardened by the hammer, and we can't join this natural parade no matter what."

"When I heard the gunshot, I knew my life had to end today, but you are different. Go and have a good revisit to hell."

Avoid being so breathless that you don't know how to respond.

What nonsense is this guy spouting? Could I really be an experimental subject of the Green Journey? But how can I believe what the enemy is saying!

"Wait, who exactly wants to capture me?!"

The man, who had been thrown to the ground, leaned against the black sloping wall of the church and laughed so hard, while his hands clenched into fists and he kept pounding his chest.

The completely unexpected situation left Du Jue somewhat at a loss, and he could only grip his weapon tightly.

"Who else wants to catch you now?"

"Of course, you're a traitor just like me. If we didn't have the higher-ups at K Company, how could Green Journey have successfully attacked their headquarters? That guy must be craving a success story like yours."

"No one can resist the temptation to go to the Free Forest, but unfortunately he didn't know one thing."

Du Zui could clearly see that the man's face was contorted with laughter, and he was suppressing his urges, his face flushed red.

"What's going on? Who is he?!"

“You are nothing. Let me tell you, you are neither the Extinction of Consciousness nor the Extinction of this place. You are nothing but a laughable imprint!”

"Right, you don't remember anything about this place, do you!"

"You think you grew up in the jungle, don't you! You're nothing!"

"Isn't that right! A rubbing is just a copy of a fake fragment, isn't it!"

Upon hearing this, Du Jue was enraged. He pulled out a boning knife and stabbed the man in the arm. Then, he kneed the man in the abdomen, causing him to vomit a mouthful of acidic liquid.

That's all bullshit!

"Don't try to fool me! Who exactly is that high-ranking executive at Company K?"

"Hehehe, as long as you keep hitting yourself with the counterattack hammer, that hammer-hardened shell will shatter, and then your ridiculous imprint will slowly dissipate inside your body, like ink dripping into the ocean."

"Remember, you are nothing."

"You just need to take off my hand bone counterattack hammer and try it. Remember to strike like this."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man punched himself so hard he vomited blood. Then, his skin and flesh twisted back, and a large amount of hard, black hair was pulled out.

Seeing that the other party was about to transform into a beast, Du Jue, who had been stunned, finally reacted and slashed down the man's right arm before it could flip.

"I'm everything!"

However, the man's head was split into four pieces, as bizarre and terrifying as a demon from hell, leaving Du Jue no time to hesitate and prompting him to act decisively.

The boning knife struck the other man squarely in the head, and Du involuntarily staggered back three steps to the edge of the church, below which raging beasts lay.

Even though he tried desperately to clear his mind, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt. The suffocating feeling of falling into the abyss caused Du Jue's legs to give way and he fell backward.
