Du Jue nodded, understanding his meaning. After all, if what Brandon said were true, it would be impossible to defeat such an enemy.
Moreover, his pity and affection for the urban girl were growing wildly at this moment, and the speed at which this erosion was too fast!
For a time, Du Jue was at a loss as to what to do about this situation.
The urban fairy gently picked up an unconscious employee and sadly closed his eyes. "Rest well so you'll have the energy to keep watching over the urban girls. It seems we'll need to find more people."
Is the key to being attracted simply the eyes?
Phew!
Trying to gouge out his own two eyeballs, enduring the momentary pain, and noticing with surprise that the mysterious allure of the urban fairy had weakened, he quickly called to Gabriel, "Take everyone back to the library!"
Although Gabriel didn't understand why Du Jue was so cruel and self-harming, he immediately did as he was told.
A large amount of smoke billowed from Du Jue's body, quickly filling the surroundings.
"Don't leave."
The urban fairy quickly stopped and composed herself, radiating an even stronger light that made the running employees turn around, with some even turning back like moths to a flame.
By immediately bringing the out-of-control employees under control, Gabriel was able to successfully evacuate with his men. Had he waited any longer, the employees might have turned around and helped the enemy.
Seeing that most of the people had disappeared, the urban fairy hurriedly tore off the thorns from her shoulders, wanting to go to a more crowded place, but white smoke completely enveloped her. "Stop it! No one can stop the urban fairy! Because they will all accept it willingly!"
Enraged, the urban fairy unleashed an incredibly dazzling light, causing Du Jue, who was wearing an eye veil and locking onto her, to waver in shock.
Swish!
Tearing off the blindfold, Du Jue hurriedly urged the down jacket to bite through his eardrums, and the other person's attraction indeed decreased again.
Feeling the world fall into dead silence, Du Jue casually cut off his own nose and, without hesitation, detonated the smoke again.
Rumble!
The terrifying shockwave caught him off guard and knocked him to the ground. The sudden loss of his three senses was also very uncomfortable for Du Jue, and he was even so unbalanced that he could hardly move.
After enduring a period of utter desolation, Du Jue gritted his teeth and used the gladiator exoskeleton, which brought about rapid regeneration that quickly eliminated his disability.
The repaired left ear can faintly hear sounds.
"Except for me, do you really hate me that much?"
“You are you, Brandon.”
Resisting the urge to pick my ears and suppressing the itch around my eyes gave me a strange sense of dread.
"I'm an urban girl... really."
The recovery of his right eardrum allowed Du Jue to hear more clearly. "Brandon, City Girl can't buy me a drink."
"It's useless. Compared to the city girl, everyone else will be forgotten very quickly."
Du Jue staggered to his feet and said, "Urban Girl is the same, it's just a matter of time. At worst, if you die, I'll announce to everyone that you're the actress who plays Urban Girl."
"No way! That would ruin the urban girl's worldview! An urban girl is an urban girl!"
"Really? Brandon, you see, you can still tell the difference between yourself and the city girl."
Du Jue was finally able to see the deformed and terrifying urban elf in front of him clearly.

Chapter 305 Conspiracy Theories.
"Look at me, Du Jue, do you really think I'm not a city girl?"
As the urban elf spoke, you could see her blown-up face swaying.
But Du Jue closed his eyes warily, "Brandon, you should change back to your original appearance. Right now you look like a mangy dog."
Avoid the urge to remind someone to look in the mirror, only to immediately remember that in the mirror world, the mirror doesn't reflect images.
"Really?! Then this is definitely not what a city girl looks like! But I've already forgotten what Brandon looks like. As you know, prosthetic bodies can be modified, but they can't be the same as real people."
The urban elf hurriedly touched her face.
[Angela: Note that the goal is rapidly merging with reality.]
“Come with me, Brandon. I’ll ask someone to help you find yourself again. There are always capable people in the city.”
Avoid taking a deep breath and mentally preparing yourself for self-presentation. "I will never let the truth be covered up by falsehood."
He will not back down here no matter what. He can't control what other people in the city do, but he can completely control his own choices, and his choices need no excuses or pretexts.
Either give up and ignore it, or never compromise!
Immediately, Du Jue felt a soft, muscular body embrace him, the touch like old, yellowed pages of a book. He couldn't help but open his eyes to observe the other person's condition.
"It's okay, Du Jue. Since you'll be watching me and remembering me no matter what, you can make me whatever you want."
The city girl elf's wings, along with her clothes, all fell off like withered leaves.
Twisted... he should be considered a madman who has already stepped into paranoia. Can someone in this situation be persuaded?
Suppressing his doubts and the urge to lash out, he tentatively said, "Brandon, you don't need to wear the suit and transform into something else anymore."
"No, absolutely not, I understand what you mean."
Brandon's skin was now fair and smooth again, and he was still eye-catching despite wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and trousers. "If you want, I can make new clothes with your gaze."
Brandon then released Du Jue, lifted the skirt that had suddenly appeared, and spun around on the spot. The relaxed atmosphere changed Du Jue's mental response to notice the other person.
We are all unfinished creators, practicing immortality with our broken bodies in the purgatory of others' gazes.
Du Jue immediately grabbed the other person's wrist and returned to the library. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no resistance in his hand. "I want to see what you look like, whatever you think you look like."
Brandon then used his free hand to remove the urban girl mask that blended perfectly into his skin, revealing a face without features. "Du Jue, I'm not lying to you, I really can't remember what I look like."
library.
The level of consciousness.
"I never expected that you could recover the target in this way."
Angela looked up at the pale yellow five-pointed stars hanging in the sky, one of which contained the unconscious Elena and Brandon.
The most dazzling thing in the empty level was the pieced-together silver star, even a small one, which illuminated the place like moonlight.
With mixed feelings of worry, Du Jue asked, "When will they wake up? And can their distortion be reversed?"
"I must explain that both divine preparation and distortion are changes within the human being, and the Seed of Light is like a catalyst."
Angela carefully explained to Du Jue, "Taking back the Seed of Light will only cancel the amplification, but the change has already happened."
"However, the significance of change lies in its infinite possibilities. The employees you just eliminated may have gone from being twisted to being divinely prepared. Their coma will last for a maximum of three days, and I cannot give an exact time."
Upon hearing this, Du Jue could only suppress his anxiety and said, "Notify me if you show any signs of waking up. I'll head back now."
"Wait, Du Jue, would you like a sandwich? It has beef noodles in it."
Angela suddenly hailed a food cart with steaming hot noodle sandwiches on a plate.
Exhausted, Du Jue was startled upon seeing this thing. "What is this...?"
Who cooks with staple food served with staple food?!
“Using the power of pages, libraries can recreate things from memory. I saw you eating beef noodles before, maybe you also like this flavor.”
Angela seemed quite pleased with herself. "After all, I'll need to eat when I become human too, so I can learn in advance now. I hope you'll accept my invitation to a dinner party then."
After wolfing down the sandwich, Du Jue felt a warm sensation in her stomach. "Angela, do you want to open a sandwich shop someday?"
"It's just a hobby."
Angela extended her right hand, gloved in white, and removed the cracked metal nameplate from Dujue's chest. "Remember to replace this if it gets damaged."
"Ok?"
Du Jue watched as Angela rubbed together a new nameplate, and then saw her lean closer to him and hang the nameplate back on.
He looked down and saw that there was even a new design on the nameplate, Angela's full-body imprint. "Why did you stamp it? Aren't you afraid of exposing yourself to the leader? After all, who knows how the leader defines humanity?"
"Not worth mentioning."
Angela didn't explain, but simply gave a familiar smile.
Reality, the live broadcast room.
The platform in the middle of the camera was empty.
Instead of stepping forward, Du Jue urgently called for Wei Ban to immediately cut off the live stream.
Although there are many things in the mirror world, they only last for a moment compared to reality. This little over one second of live streaming should not cause any major incidents.
"Boss, if you really want to transfer someone, you don't have to fire them, do you?"
As soon as Wei Ban entered the live broadcast room, he found that Brandon had disappeared. "And the live broadcast pictures that were just leaked are going viral. Our cybersecurity team can't delete them all."
"It's just a fleeting image; I'll forget about it in a few days."
Du Jue didn't seem to care much about it, since there were too many explosive news stories in the city, and this matter would soon be forgotten.
However, Ooban showed a strange expression, "But the disappearance of the city girl was captured in the live broadcast, and with the recent rise of conspiracy theories, it might be a bit troublesome."
"What conspiracy theory? Aren't all our live stream content positive and uplifting?"
Du looked at the tail with suspicion.
"That's true, but many people had the same dream one night. They all saw two city girls. The normal ones thought it was the city girls appearing to them, while the abnormal ones thought it was our company persecuting and replacing the original city girl."
Hearing this halfway through, Du Jue impatiently interrupted, "Isn't this pure nonsense?"
Ooban shrugged. "Then I'll skip the opinions of the madmen and believers. In short, this is bad for the company, of course! As long as we get your cube sorted out, we can directly transform into an energy company and ignore them completely."
"To prevent any unforeseen complications, let's start producing endorphins now!"
An eagerly anticipating the event, Ooma ran to Du Jue's side and exclaimed, "I've already had Shamisen seal off the live broadcast base!"
"No rush. Go and make a life-size urban girl doll first, then announce the suspension of the live stream. We'll talk about it tomorrow when Brandon wakes up."
I pulled out a pneumatic syringe and fired a shot to relieve some of my fatigue.
"Yes, BOSS!"
After thoughtfully leaving the nursery address, Tail-Spotted left humming a little tune, too lazy to even ask about Brandon's whereabouts.
Nursery.
Du Jue was surprised to find that the place hadn't changed much, and you could even see traces of the previous fire repairs. Just across the street was the wildly popular Urban Girl Amusement Park.
Even those two employees were still working as gatekeepers.
He couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Dude, why don't you rename this place Urban Girl Nursery? I bet the donations would increase at least tenfold."
Even though he was only wearing an eye veil, the two guards recognized him at first glance.
"Extinguish? I thought you were dead when you were wanted by the Ring Finger, but I didn't expect you to still be alive. Impressive!"
The bald security guard was quite surprised.
The doorman with the earring said, "Well, actually it's good that the nursery doesn't make money. Otherwise, gangs and the like would all gather here, and then there would be no peace."
Hearing this, the bald security guard said speechlessly, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was your idea. It's just that Smile Company wouldn't approve it, saying that this street is an undeveloped area. Otherwise, if the nursery had money, at least our wages would have increased."
"It's one thing for the development zone to be undeveloped, but they even sent the EMOJI team here to prohibit unauthorized personnel from entering. Even resignation requires approval. This place has become the territory of Smile Company."
From this perspective, tail stigma seems quite plausible.
Just as Du Jue was about to go upstairs, he heard a familiar voice. He had expected this, since he had been trying to ambush Jin Zilei when he was facing her, but she was too far away.
"Oh my god, why didn't you stay in the D Nest and wait for me? You made me run all the way here."
306
Chapter 306 Apple.
Du Jue turned to look at Gan Jian and suddenly remembered something: it seemed that the chief had asked him to give the other party an apple.
Now that the chief's troubles have been temporarily resolved, it seems there's no need to worry about any so-called contact.
He looked at the other person's concerned gaze and didn't know what to say. Although the other person helped him unconditionally, it was because he and the chief had split the money equally. In a sense, he and the chief were really brothers.
Gan Jian, whose face was full of joy, noticed Du Jue's unusual expression and stood still. "Do I... need money?"
