After this public appearance, Du Jue became quite the celebrity in this back alley, and even the most ruthless people greeted him with utmost respect.
Park was sitting on the freezer, impatiently counting the heads of the Axe Gang members. Before Du Jue could go up and greet him, Jing Mei strode out and yelled.
"Alright, stop wasting time. We can't let someone else take our spoils."
Jingmei didn't give her subordinates any time to respond and immediately announced that she was heading to the Axe Gang's base.
It was an eight-story building, similar to a school building, with graffiti of axes covering the walls.
Du Jue immediately recalled Pianjiang's description: this place was originally the exam-preparation village where Pianjiang studied, but it was later completely wiped out by Oakes and used as a gang base.
The exam-oriented village is a gathering place for people hoping to join the Wings of the World through exams, and Lesti works hard to join them.
Hey!
What did it do to deserve this?!
Zulu and Dino led their men to sweep through the area layer by layer. All the gang members who came out to carry out the orders were overjoyed, and their gazes toward Du Jue became much more amiable.
A bunch of money-grubbing bastards!
We must prevent Jingmei from using newly appointed cadres as her laborers simply because there are few available.
"Hurry up and move what you can, burn the rest tonight!"
Du Jue followed Jing Mei to Oakes' room. This guy liked to sleep on a pure white hospital bed, and there were many psychotropic drugs on his bedside table.
Watching Jingmei engrossed in flipping through the Axe Gang's ledgers, Du Jue went to the next room, which was so clean and tidy that it didn't seem like the residence of a gang member.
Among a large stack of review materials were several thick folders. Du Jue pulled them out and read them carefully, and soon discovered that they were the experimental records of the Green Journey.
"Personality experiments in collaboration with the Ring Finger, and hammer modification."
Avoid looking at the description of the hammer in the document; it is a powerful technique that can solidify the mind by striking the body.
As the core technology of Green Journey, the hammer has been partially implemented in the form of personality chips.
However, this information was completely unrelated to what Du Jue was looking for. He wanted to know why the Green Trip attacked K Company, which might be related to the assassin squad that attacked him.
After all, he couldn't possibly investigate K Company; that would have to wait until he was barred from joining World Wings.
"No, I can't just passively wait for the next attack. Perhaps we can start by targeting the cleanup crew."
"The gang's promotion system has hit a bottleneck, so perhaps we could try raising the level of the cleanup crew."
"But Jingmei is a problem; she can't be discovered."
Du Jue, who had packed up the documents, wished she could go to the firm right now, but still loyally followed Jingmei to tidy up the office.
After clearing out this most important room, Jingmei looked at Du Jue strangely, making Du Jue feel a little uneasy.
"You're actually pretty clean-cut."
"Of course, I am absolutely loyal to you, Chief, and this is part of fulfilling my promise."
"There are only the two of us here, so what are you pretending for? I know what kind of person you are. I brought you here so you can take whatever you want!"
"For example, that ridiculous ring-shaped artwork on the wall, although I think it's just a spilled paint bucket, it would still be worth some money if you sold it."
Du Jue never expected to be scolded for this, and then saw Jing Mei go to the door to light a cigarette by herself.
He was only thinking about getting promoted, but Du Jue thought that some people in the association seemed to be very susceptible to bribery, so money was still quite important.
And since it wouldn't be good to offend the leader, I'll just take a little, instead of grabbing a yellow bag and starting a shopping spree.
Are you going to take me shopping?
Jingmei forcefully stubbed out her cigarette and looked at Dujue, who was carrying a bulging bag.
"Should I put some back?"
"Stop, stop, stop dawdling. Go back now."
"By the way, remember to find some people yourself. A cadre shouldn't just have three idiot subordinates all the time."
Du Jue quickly thanked him. He was about to leave, but he didn't plan to hire more people, since it was hard to trust others.
A two-story wooden house.
Lesti picked up his machete and cautiously walked through the thick wooden door. Someone was knocking on the door.
Du Jue, carrying a bag, strangely sent a message to Lesti.
"Huh? Du Jue, it's you!"
Lesti opened the door with a look of great surprise on her face; her messy short hair made her look somewhat languid.
"You're not here to collect a debt, are you? I just finished my exams and I'm still resting."
"It's nothing, I was just passing by and brought you a gift."
Never pick up a beautiful gold top hat and spin it steadily with your fingers.
Everyone loves beauty, and Lesti is no exception. Besides, this thing is from AUX, so the quality is definitely not a problem.
"It's a bit lighter than my hair color, you really put in the effort."
"We're friends, that's only right."
You like me?
Wearing a yellow top hat, Lesti spoke so matter-of-factly that Du Jue thought he had misheard.
"I also have feelings for you. Shall we get married?"
"Wait, I'm just giving you a gift, you've misunderstood."
Leslie showed no disappointment, but instead played with the hat with obvious delight.
"Oh, I see. Then we're good friends. I'll return the favor once I enter World Wings."
"I'm embarrassed to compare anything I have now with this."
Do you feel like you haven't adapted to the pace of city life yet? Is it really that direct and fast?
He then simply chuckled.
"It's alright. I heard that the head of Lobotomy Corporation once received help from a friend, and later, when he was in a high position, he received two jars of water from that friend."
"Everyone thought they were making fun of him, but the supervisor happily drank it all and then returned two jars of fine wine."
“You see, people who do great things don’t care about these things. Gifts are inanimate, but friendship is alive.”
Supervisor, your reputation is almost obsolete, so let me use it a little longer. After all, we've known each other for a long time.
Lesti immediately ran back into the house and took out a sandwich that had been cut in half.
"Here you go, this is my lunch."
It's sandwiches again; I'm so sick of them.
36 New Identity
Although figuring out the details of the suicide squad was urgent, Du Jue decided against thinking it couldn't be resolved quickly and instead focused on maintaining good relationships along the way.
After all, dealing with the Axe Gang made Du Jue realize the importance of connections; he couldn't have orchestrated such a large-scale operation without knowing so many people.
After swallowing the last bit of sandwich, the taxi returned to the factory.
"Dude, you look so haggard since I last saw you?"
"Don't do anything rash."
Du Jue even gave this guy some extra change, considering it a good deed for the day.
“It’s alright, I’ve found a more reliable companion than a person, it’s the pet snake left behind by her lover.”
"It only hugs me when I get home, instead of scolding or blaming me, and it's very tolerant."
“The toys my wife left behind are still usable. The vet said that it’s called the cloaca, which doesn’t sound very nice. I want to change the name.”
Farewell.
Instead of feeling sorry for city dwellers, you might as well eat a sandwich; investing any time in it is a waste of time.
Upon entering the factory, Du Jue once again saw the gatekeeper of the stray dogs—Park Hoi, who stood on the freezer, scolding the people below.
"You think you can join the 'Stray Dogs' group with your level of skill? We don't accept real stray dogs here!"
"Park Hui."
He pulled a black plastic bag from his backpack and tossed it to Park, who was squatting down.
"what?"
"A matching suit and trousers, with shark print on it, you have to be presentable enough to match your sister when you go out."
Who knew that Park would suddenly jump down from the freezer and grab Du Jue by the collar.
"You little rascal, you're not after my sister, are you? That explains why you kept sending me things."
"No, weren't you in charge of keeping an eye on me when I first joined the gang? Jingmei told me all that. This is to thank you for your help."
"That's it."
Park looked at the high-quality material of the clothes and felt a little lost.
It's not that no one has ever tried to bribe him, it's just that no one has gone out of their way to give him such a thing like Du Jue did; after all, everyone just transfers money directly.
"Uh, it's nothing serious, is it really necessary to come all this way?"
"What are you looking at? Go play somewhere else!"
Park Hui, who had just finished packing his things, wanted to thank Du Jue, but then he saw Du Jue hurriedly leave.
Efficiency is also important when giving gifts.
Du Jue also planned to deal with the cleanup crew and see if he could get any information about the Green Journey from the association.
Although the organization was recently wiped out, the various laboratories it left behind have certainly not been cleared out yet.
"Hey!"
"You, it's you. What's your name?"
When Du Jue realized that he was being called, he immediately turned around and glanced left and right, his hand already reaching for a boning knife.
However, it turned out to be a little girl leaning on the third-floor railing. This seemed to be the nursery we had passed by before.
Du Jue didn't answer, but instead took out a wine-red bow tie. The skill enhancements from his various talents allowed him to accurately throw it into the other person's hand.
That thing was originally meant to be a matching suit, but I left it behind when I took it out, and I just happened to give it away.
"Hey, hello!"
Instead of walking home, and too lazy to open the heavy door in front of the building, he simply jumped over the wall.
“Pianjiang, I bought you a stun gun for self-defense. Just stick it against the wall when you need to.”
"Thank you, brother."
"It's nothing, but if someone brings soup over today, tell her I'm with the stray dogs. If all else fails, contact me."
"Ok."
To avoid feeling tired while climbing stairs, pull out the pneumatic injector, press it against your chest, and directly press the two buttons.
Hiss!
The feeling of weakness immediately subsided, and I instantly felt a sense of comfort coming from all directions, which greatly improved my irritable mood.
This stuff is really useful, can we increase the dosage?
"Elena?"
Du Ju didn't take the red pillow out of the bag; it was a bit strange why this Blood Demon was always swaying around with a cat's body on its head.
Although they became friends, this Blood Demon was elusive, and Du Jue could only wait for her on the rooftop if he wanted to find her.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind.
Do not wrap her up with a pillow behind your back.
"Um!"
Elena struggled to her feet and stood on the pillow Du Jue was holding, peering at Du Jue through her cat-like eyes.
