I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

But this advantage has now become a disadvantage, making Du Jue extremely anxious, yet unable to stop the Blood Demon Cat's advance.

Crunch!

The circular iron head was torn off the mechanical body by the Blood Demon Cat, and it leaped back onto the ceiling with two samurai swords facing it.

"Hoohoo!"

In a short time, their battle reached a fever pitch, and now it has suddenly come to a stalemate.

"Boss Cat, let's talk this out. Can you please put your head down first?"

"Du Jue, I've been watching you all along."

What kind of monster is this?

Besides, after killing to this extent, Du Jue never expected that the cat would still talk to him.

"Have we known each other before?"

“I was hiding here safely, and you took away all the servants who were covering for me.”

"Who, who is your servant? You're clearly a cat."

The dragon seemed somewhat unable to comprehend the situation, especially since the monster was carrying the dragon's head.

Du Jue looked at the Blood Demon Cat's forked tail and numerous knife wounds, only then realizing that the other party didn't seem to have any murderous intent.

The blood he licked from the blade, mixed with a strange smell, made his mind somewhat confused.

"Then you can just keep hiding."

"Because you smell the best here. Sometimes when I'm starving, I can't help but run out, and you make me go without food for days."

"And I'm curious, I heard they massacred the firm where you work, and they weren't even human, so why risk being discovered by stray dogs to save them?"

"Bullshit! I'm still a human, just modified!"

The 鏮鍶錔 protested from below, while the 錒鍩鍀 stared silently at the 鏌's head, observing the angle from which to cut off the Blood Demon Cat's jaw.

"Can a person be considered human if their body is replaced and repaired at will, they can't eat normally, and they go insane uncontrollably due to rejection of the prosthetic body?"

I think he is.

A very ominous thought began to creep into my mind.

With such high intelligence and such precise blood manipulation ability, this guy could never be a cat that has been transformed into a blood demon!

"Is that Blood Demon human?"

"I think so too, otherwise the leader would have expelled you."

The Blood Demon Cat tightened its grip, and the creature's head instantly cracked open, nearly crushing to pieces.

Even if you are extremely anxious, the only thing you can do right now is to try to calm the other party down with words.

"Calm down, I'll answer whatever you ask."

"Then why did you save these three good-for-nothings? They should be your enemies."

Because they are very useful tools.

Du Jue gripped the boning knife, trying to snatch the head, only to find that the man behind him was slowly raising his katana, aiming.

He immediately replied that he wanted to draw the enemy's attention.

"Ahem, let's let bygones be bygones. We consider each other friends, so of course we should go to great lengths for our friends."

"But they killed many innocent people just to satisfy their own desires."

"Hey, who doesn't? I do the same thing."

"No, you're different. Didn't you let them save a child before?"

"They did it; I was just shouting slogans from below."

"But they would never do something that doesn't benefit them; they would only act because you asked them to."

At this point, even Du Jue couldn't understand what the cat was thinking.

"What do you mean?"

"If your friend were a Blood Demon, would you do the same?"

"Of course, you can't make sure everyone is okay in the city; taking care of your friends is the limit."

call out!

The Ao-Duo machine behind it was running at full power, and the samurai sword in its hand was hurled fiercely toward the Blood Demon Cat's neck.

At the same time, Du Jue also did not hesitate to take action and launch a sudden attack.

23 Crimson Night

The samurai sword pierced the Blood Demon Cat's chin from behind, forcing its mouth open.

Blood pump!

The recently drawn tattoo on his kidneys allowed the blood that had been suppressed to still surge in the face of the Blood Demon, and power welled up from his limbs and bones.

With his veins bulging, Du Jue stepped on the wall and leaped down, slashing down. The boning knife instantly severed the cat monster's mouth. Du Jue gritted his teeth and reached out to hook the sharp beast's mouth.

"Come closer, all of you!"

Du Jue, whose right hand was covered in wounds from sharp teeth, was overjoyed to see the head in his arms, but he immediately gathered with the other two Iron Men to guard against a monster attack.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon Cat simply hung on the ceiling and slowly drained the bearded man's blood.

"It seems you're telling the truth. You're willing to risk your life for a head of steel. That's really strange."

"I could understand if you were a long-time team of wrap-up partners, but you two have only known each other for less than a week."

"Few city dwellers get as excited about others as you do, which is why I didn't drain you dry at first. This emotion, like fine wine, gets better with age."

"So how can I become your friend?"

The replenishment of blood allowed the Blood Demon Cat's wounds to heal rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the external injuries were almost completely healed, which made Du Jue's heart sink.

If the opponent is of this strength, I'm afraid there's no chance of victory; we must think of other ways!

"I really want to say that we're friends now, but this isn't an exam, so I can't give you a standard answer."

"I apologize for disturbing you this time. Let's make a deal."

“I will never reveal your information, nor will I ever come here again. Let’s pretend nothing happened.”

"Of course, as an apology, I can come and let you bleed for a while until you are satisfied."

As the Blood Demon Cat recovered from its injuries, it gradually closed in. Du Jue's breathing became rapid, and it immediately prepared to jump out of the window, even though it was on the fourth floor.

"Being a long-term meal ticket for a blood demon is a sure way to get sucked to death."

"Well, then we can be friends. As long as you support me in reaching the top of the city, our friendship will be unbreakable."

too close.

Du Jue anxiously looked out the window. He could clearly hear the Blood Demon Cat's panting and see its black and red fur intertwined with blood.

"My friend, it's delicious."

With a flick of its tail, its enormous body rapidly shrank, transforming back into a cow-and-cow cat standing before the shriveled, bearded corpse.

Du Jue tentatively approached the room door, and finding that the Blood Demon did not stop him, he quickly had Iron Man take the headless machine out.

Before leaving, Du Jue looked back at the cat with disbelief.

"By the way, last time at the prosthetic clinic, when I was hiding in the ventilation duct, was it you who deliberately attacked the stray dog's people?"

“I don’t care about those machine servants. I was going to leave quietly after I recovered, but I don’t want them to kill someone as delicious as you.”

"Thanks."

Du Jue calmly turned and left, only finally breathing a sigh of relief after walking out of the building; he almost collapsed to the ground.

His jacket was completely soaked with sweat; the situation had just been far too dangerous.

"Are you alright? Let's get out of here quickly."

He immediately helped Du Jue up and rushed back to the prosthetic clinic before nightfall in the back alley.

No one was in the mood to talk. They were too exhausted to perform the prosthetic surgery, so they simply put Ai's head in the rice cooker for now.

"It hurts."

Du Jue looked at his bleeding arm and guessed that the Blood Demon Tattoo was working. This growth talent was indeed very powerful.

It gains resistance after fighting only one type of enemy, making it an incredibly durable and formidable warrior.

But the thought of that enigmatic Blood Demon Cat made Du Jue so anxious that his abdomen tightened and even ached.

[Avoid asking: Are you there?]

[Pangolin: I've always been here. Do you like bone broth? I can make you some myself right now.]

[Excuse me: No, I meant to ask if anyone knows how to transform a cat into a blood demon?]

[Pangolin: Don't go near the Blood Demon, you'll stink. That stench of mixed garbage soup shouldn't exist in this world.]

[Pangolin: But these guys take the garbage soup in their veins very seriously, they wouldn't mess with cats and dogs. It's more likely that a high-level blood demon suffered a fatal injury and had to manipulate animal corpses to evade the search.]

Hey!

Could this cat be Crimson Night?!

[Du Jue: Oh, I thought it was some special ingredient. Isn't there a City Star called Crimson Night that's a Blood Demon?]

[Pangolin: Who cares about this garbage soup? But when I was at the market, I heard that Charles's firm recently completed a big job; they shot down Crimson Night.]

[Pangolin: In this matter, I must commend them a few times; they should have wiped out the Blood Demons long ago.]

What a coincidence!

Du Jue now believes that the Blood Demon Cat is very likely the Crimson Night that was shot down.

Did she really want to let herself go just now, or was it a relapse of an old injury, and she was just putting on a brave face to deceive herself and gain more time to recover?

It was obvious that the cat's intelligence level was gradually improving. Perhaps it didn't intentionally save people at the clinic, but simply couldn't control its instincts.

If absorbing blood could restore strength, then there would be no need for Crimson Night to let him go and increase the risk. It's only possible that she was a paper tiger at the time, all show and no substance.

Despite his chaotic thoughts, Du Jue gave up on the idea of ​​turning against the Blood Demon Cat. After all, if it really came down to growth speed, could she really grow faster by sucking blood than he could by working and getting promoted?

He's the king of wage earners; he'll figure out how to take down the Axe Gang leader tomorrow!

Silent all night.

"What do we do?!"

Du Jue sat up and paced back and forth in frustration, racking his brains but unable to come up with a way to kill the Axe Gang leader.

We can't exactly resort to some kind of self-inflicted injury ploy; city dwellers aren't brain-dead.

Since we can't figure it out anyway, let's just perform a connector surgery on the snake. Compared to connecting biological nerves, sorting out the circuits and reconnecting them is much simpler.

When Hui Silong and Ao Yide returned from shopping, Du Jue had almost finished. The two handed over the protection money they had plundered to Du Jue and discussed where to go in the afternoon.

"Could we use one tiger to devour another?"

Du Jue, having removed his static-free gloves, thought of Blood Demon Cat and Yi Yin, but he couldn't command them either.

These two guys are just greedy, not really his sycophants. We still need to think this through carefully.

"put an end to!"

Du Jue shook his shoulders, somewhat annoyed.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't ignore me. Didn't you say I'm your friend?"

"Hey, can't you include 'we' in your speech?"

Seeing the three iron men gather around, Du felt a warmth in his heart and briefly explained the difficulties he was facing in getting a promotion.

"Is this Jingmei out of her mind? You were able to take down the Axe Gang leader before they made you a cadre?"

"Oh, is there no bonus? That's so stingy."

"How about we ambush him while he's in the bathroom?"
