Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

"roar--!!"

In the center of the battlefield, a deafening roar signaled the end of the team fight.

It's Cadet.

He was covered in blood, and his once-proud hydraulic mechanical arm bore three deep, bone-revealing cracks—the wolf king's final, desperate attack.

But he won.

The wolf king, whose size was comparable to that of a bull, had its head smashed into its chest cavity and was beyond dead.

"Huff... huff..."

Cade, panting heavily, kicked the wolf king's corpse aside, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Commander! Help... I can't take it anymore..."

Several seriously injured members of the group were groaning on the ground.

Without even glancing at it, Cade dragged the wolf's leg toward the heavy truck, casually pulling out a serrated dagger to prepare to cut the materials.

But he had just gone through a tough battle and was severely exhausted.

A figure walked over silently.

"Commander, let me do it."

Lin Bai held the still-dripping scalpel, his expression respectful, neither seeking credit nor flustered.

Cade paused, staring intently at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai met his gaze calmly, and even took out a roll of bandage from his pocket, skillfully bandaging the wound at the interface of the robotic arm for Cade.

"Oh......"

Cade suddenly grinned, a smile tinged with a bloodthirsty admiration.

"Kid, I saw it all just now."

"Even though it's just picking on the weak and picking on the easy targets... at least you're thinking about killing monsters instead of wetting your pants in this situation, which makes you better than those useless guys."

"He has some backbone."

Lin Bai smiled shyly, like a primary school student who had just been praised by his teacher: "Commander, you flatter me. It's all for survival."

"Alright, stop pretending."

Cade tossed the dagger to Lin Bai. "Go, take the horn off the wolf king's head. It's a valuable item."

Lin Bai took the dagger, turned around and got to work, as obedient as a rabbit.

Cade leaned against the wheel and lit a crumpled cigarette.

At that moment, a tall, slender figure walked over.

Deputy Commander, "Hidden Raven".

She carried a long-barreled sniper rifle, and the deep scar across her face made her look particularly ferocious.

"Commander, the situation is not good."

The raven's voice was hoarse. "More than forty slaves, all of them except him, are dead. Half of our men have been wiped out, and Skinny Monkey is gone too."

As she said this, she glanced at Lin Bai, who was dissecting a wolf carcass not far away, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

"We were originally going to sell these slaves to the Bone Sanctuary... but now, those lunatics are probably going to go berserk."

"Losing his temper?"

Cade sneered and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Let them send it."

He stretched out his intact left hand and grabbed Yin Ya's waist, his rough hand roaming freely.

"As long as that 'silver-haired ghost' isn't dead, it doesn't matter if everyone else dies."

Cade lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with the fervor of a gambler trying to turn the tables.

"Have you forgotten what we got in Cloud City?"

He patted the side of the carriage behind him.

"Those poor bastards from the Bone Sanctuary can't afford that stuff."

"This time, the buyer is a big shot in the inner city... a supplier that even the Bone Sanctuary has to grovel to!"

"Once we get to Blackrock City, we'll get rid of this thing and then hand over the wanted criminal..."

Cade clenched his fist, his smile twisted into a ferocious and greedy grin.

"We've earned enough money to sleep in piles of silk for the rest of our lives! Who the hell is still risking their life eating sand here?" Cade lowered his voice, continuing in a tone only he and Raven could hear:

"As for the rest of the group... the items this time are too valuable. Let's find a place to go once we get closer to Blackrock City..."

He paused, then held his hand to his neck, making a throat-slitting gesture.

The raven paused for a moment, then a seductive yet twisted smile appeared on its face: "So, I'll just wait to go to the inner city with you and enjoy a life of luxury?"

"Hahaha! No problem!"

After exchanging a few jokes, Yin Ya swayed his hips as he went to tidy up the mess.

At this moment, Lin Bai had already cut off the wolf's horn and handed it to Cade.

Cade's smile faded: "Alright, go ahead and get busy. There are quite a few wounded, you'll be busy enough."

Lin Bai nodded and left.

But he didn't go far. Instead, he found a blind spot and kept his eyes fixed on this side, his gaze icy.

Although he hadn't heard what Cade and Raven were saying.

But as the two were talking, the malice emanating from Cade stung his brow.

He had only ever felt this level of malice in those moments when the bizarre creature wanted to devour him.

"So, Commander... you want to kill me, right?"

......

Cade turned around to face the black metal box on the truck bed.

"Click".

A slight mechanical popping sound.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in Cade's damaged robotic arm.

A highly concealed compartment that can only be opened at a specific angle is activated.

He pulled out a strangely shaped brass key from inside.

Socket, rotate.

The box was opened.

Cade didn't open it completely, but only opened a crack and quickly stuffed the wolf king's horn inside.

In a fleeting glimpse, everything inside was revealed.

A potion gleaming with a faint blue light.

A tattered, yellowed parchment fragment, on which the three characters "Aurora" are faintly written.

at last......

It is a pair of transparent wings folded together, as thin as cicada wings, that refract dreamlike ripples in the sunlight.

【Sky-Splitting Cicada Wings】

Cade touched the dark blue potion.

He found this on the wanted criminal; he didn't know what its purpose was.

But judging from my intuition, this thing is definitely not simple.

Once we get back to the city, we'll find a pharmacist to identify what kind of potion it is.

Cade quickly closed the box, pulled out the key, put it back into the hidden compartment of the robotic arm, and turned around nonchalantly.

Nobody saw it.

The cold glint in Lin Bai's eyes, hidden in the shadows not far away, was colder than a scalpel.

Mechanical arm... hidden compartment... brass key.

Lin Bai pressed the tip of his tongue against his palate, suppressing the surging greed and excitement in his heart.

Wow, hiding the key in your arm is definitely safe.

Unfortunately, she met me.

"Commander Cade..."

He murmured the name to himself.

"Thank you for your generous demonstration. Even the top-ranked customer isn't as considerate as you."

"In return, I will select the best burial plot for you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

......

"Ouch—! Go easy! It hurts! Are you trying to kill me?!"

On the cot, a scavenger with a fierce face let out a pig-like howl.

A large chunk of flesh had been torn from his thigh by wolf fangs, exposing the stark white bone, which looked gruesome.

Lin Bai held a pair of rusty tweezers in his hand and pushed up his glasses, which weren't actually on his nose.

His face wore that gentle smile typical of experts:

"Don't move, brother. The wound needs to be thoroughly cleaned. This place is teeming with bacteria. If you develop sepsis, no one can save you."

"But it hurts so much! Do you have any anesthetic? Give me some anesthetic!" The wounded man was in so much pain that his cold sweat soaked through the sheets, and he gripped the edge of the bed tightly with both hands, his veins bulging.

"Anesthetic?" Lin Bai paused, his eyes revealing three parts pity and seven parts helplessness.

"In the wasteland, anesthetics are more valuable than your life. However... as a doctor with medical ethics, I do possess a family-inherited pain relief technique."

The wounded soldier's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had grasped at a straw: "What treatment? Use it quickly! I can't take it anymore!"

"This is a mysterious technique originating from the ancient East, and its scientific name is—Deep Sleep Interruption Technique."

Lin Bai's voice was soft and gentle, possessing a captivating charm that drew people in.

He slowly extended his left hand, his slender fingers gently pressing on the side of the wounded man's neck, as if searching for some key acupoint.

"Come on, relax, take a deep breath... You'll feel your eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and all the pain will be receding..."

The wounded soldier instinctively did as he was told, taking deep breaths.

Just as his chest bulged to its limit.

"Bang!"

Lin Bai transformed his right palm into a knife, swiftly and ruthlessly striking the wounded man's carotid sinus.

That chop was delivered with such precise force.

The wounded man rolled his eyes back, didn't even utter a sound, and instantly went limp like mud, fainting on the spot.

The whole world became quiet in an instant.

"Physical anesthesia is extremely effective."

Lin Bai casually shook his hand.

He roughly wiped the wound with an alcohol swab, then grabbed a needle and thread, and following the instructions of the parchment, stitched it up in a few quick strokes, like sewing up a burlap sack.

Tie a knot, cut the thread, and you're done.

As for the effect... what does it have to do with him?

"Alright, next one," Lin Bai called out to the wounded soldiers queuing behind him.

The bald, burly man at the back of the line watched his brother being dragged away like a dead pig. His Adam's apple bobbed laboredly, and his legs trembled slightly.

"Doctor...is he alright? I think he's stopped breathing..."

"It's nothing, the pain will go away after a good night's sleep, that's a medical miracle." Lin Bai flashed his standard eight-tooth smile.

The scalpel in his hand spun a beautiful pattern in the sunlight, its cold gleam dazzling.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? How about we try a deep sleep treatment?"

The bald man looked at the knife, then at Lin Bai's harmless smiling face, and suddenly felt that his minor injury didn't hurt so much anymore.

"No...no need! I suddenly feel much better!"

......
