Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss
Chapter 20: Curtain Call, Filming Wraps Up
In the wilderness, sandstorms raged.
A dozen or so bright car headlights illuminated the area as if it were daytime.
Cade, along with his remaining dozen or so fully armed henchmen, surrounded Lin Bai.
When they saw the horrific scene in the back of the last truck—the haphazardly laid corpses of Crow and several others—everyone's face paled.
Especially Cadet.
His intact left eye was fixed on Lin Bai, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing, a sign of extreme anger.
"Dr. Lin."
Cade's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a strong metallic taste of blood, "Don't you owe me an explanation?"
Facing more than a dozen dark gun barrels and a veteran scavenger leader on the verge of going berserk.
Lin Bai, however, showed no fear whatsoever.
He stood in the open space between the two cars, his blood-stained clothes fluttering in the wind.
He wore a warm, welcoming smile.
"Commander, don't be so angry."
Lin Bai spread his hands, speaking in a relaxed tone as if he were discussing what to have for dinner.
"I just feel that there are too many people in our group, and it's too crowded when it comes to distributing the money. I'm helping you with layoffs and optimization; it's for everyone's benefit."
"Okay...what a great idea of doing it for everyone's good!"
Enraged, Cade laughed coldly, then abruptly raised his hand, pointing at Lin Bai, "Then go explain to them in hell!"
"Open fire! Turn him into a sieve!"
"etc!"
Lin Bai suddenly shouted, his smile instantly turning eerie and unpredictable, "Commander, before we fire, I'd like to perform a magic trick for you."
"Magic?" Cade sneered. "Magic your mother! Die!"
"shot!"
But Lin Bai's voice was faster than the gunshot.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze passing through the crowd to the prison van, and his lips parted slightly:
"Number seven, it's time for the experiment."
In that instant.
Time seemed to stand still.
Inside the cage, the giant Ah Qi, who had been trembling and hugging his knees, suddenly raised his head.
Those originally timid, glassy eyes were instantly replaced by a violent, deathly white—the color of shattered reason.
"ah--!!!"
A shrill scream, unlike any human voice, burst from Ah Qi's throat.
"boom--!!"
A visible, transparent ripple spread wildly outwards in a ring shape from the center of the prison van!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"
The thugs closest to the prison van didn't even have time to scream before their heads exploded like ripe watermelons, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.
Cade and his gang, who were a little further away, instantly felt as if their brains had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and blood gushed from their eyes, ears, nose and mouth at the same time.
He flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground.
Even Lin Bai himself was so shocked that his brain was buzzing and his nose was bleeding profusely.
But he was prepared.
The spiritual essence belonging to the "Trickster" within his body surged wildly, constructing a barrier in his mind that fiercely protected the core of his consciousness.
"Now!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Lin Bai exerted force with his feet, propelling himself like an arrow shot towards the dazed Cade.
While you are sick, I will kill you!
Cade was, after all, a seasoned scavenger. Despite bleeding from all seven orifices, he instinctively swung his mechanical arm to block as Lin Bai approached.
Lin Bai ducked, the scalpel gleaming coldly, and thrust it straight at Cade's throat!
What puzzled Lin Bai was that Cade didn't dodge when faced with his attack.
next moment.
"when!"
A crisp metallic clang.
The scalpel pierced the skin, but was blocked by something underneath.
Lin Bai's wrist went numb, and he cursed inwardly:
Holy crap! This old dog replaced his throat with an alloy one? What kind of good person is doing renovations in his neck?!
Lin Bai's attack missed, and Cade's eyes blazed with ferocity. The huge hydraulic mechanical arm, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed down towards Lin Bai's head.
If that hits hard, Lin Bai's head will definitely explode like a rotten tomato.
At the critical moment.
The parchment's hint flashed through Lin Bai's mind—[Weakness: The tear in the middle.]
Instead of retreating, he lunged forward, twisting his body at an extremely bizarre angle, defying the laws of physics to avoid the direct impact of the mechanical arm.
The scalpel in his hand drew a tricky arc in the air.
"Snap!"
The blade tip precisely pierced the barely perceptible crack at the joint of the robotic arm, and then twisted it forcefully!
A sickening sound of gears snapping rang out.
The once formidable mechanical arm froze just one centimeter from Lin Bai's nose.
The hydraulic oil inside gushed out violently, spraying Kaide's face.
"Wh...what?!"
Cade's eyes widened, his mind still blank from the shock.
But he was, after all, a fugitive.
Even if the robotic arm is useless, he still has his hand cannon!
He roared and raised the large-caliber hand cannon, the muzzle almost touching Lin Bai's chest.
"Go to hell!!"
At such close range, even a god couldn't escape.
Instead of retreating, Lin Bai advanced, grabbing the hand cannon from Cade's hand.
A ferocious and gleeful laugh spread across Cade's face.
"Kid, are you going to use your hands to block my gun?"
"Click".
A soft sound.
There was no fire, no loud noise.
Only the crisp sound of the firing pin striking the empty chamber could be heard.
The sharp crack sounded particularly jarring on the battlefield.
Cade's smile froze on his face, as if it had been paused.
At that moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
Lin Bai took a step back, creating some distance between them.
He smiled and opened his left hand.
In the palm of his hand lay six large-caliber, bright yellow bullets.
"Commander, is this what you're looking for?"
Lin Bai toyed with the bullets, his tone playful, "I thought this gun was too heavy, and I was worried you'd get tired, so I just helped you lighten the load."
【Magic space + nimble fingers】, this is the art of a con artist.
"You...you..."
The anger in Cade's eyes instantly turned into terror. This kid... when did he do this?!
Just then, the robotic arm started up again, and the transmission arm, which had been temporarily disabled by Lin Bai's interruption, was restored.
Overjoyed, Cade suddenly raised the drive arm and smashed it towards Lin Bai.
However, Lin Bai neither dodged nor avoided the attack.
All the planning and arrangements were actually for this moment.
With Cade's abilities, ordinary firearms, unless they are used in a sweeping attack, are simply ineffective against him.
He may not be as fast as a bullet, but he is definitely faster than the person who fires the gun.
Only when he is at his most triumphant, and most certain of victory...
"It's time to end this, Commander."
Lin Bai's smile vanished, replaced by a cold and indifferent expression.
He snapped his fingers lightly.
"Smack."
Behind Cade, in the bed of that pickup truck.
The "corpse," which was originally covered by a canvas, suddenly sat up straight.
That's a skinny monkey.
But the way he looked at that moment was enough to give even the most daring villain nightmares.
The wound on his neck was twisted like a centipede, his eyes were bloodshot, and he held two pistols steadily in his hands.
That was the gun that Skinny Monkey loved most when he was alive.
Goodbye, boss.
Lin Bai said softly.
Cade turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
He saw his brother, who should have been dead, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gunfire erupted in the night.
Without any hesitation, without any pity.
Bullets rained down on Cade's head and body, causing him to tremble violently and splatter blood.
Until the magazine is empty.
Cade's imposing body then collapsed with a thud.
His eyes were wide open, staring intently in the direction of the skinny monkey, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.
"This...how...is...possible..."
With his last breath, this thug leader, who had roamed the wilderness for over a decade, became an integral part of the wasteland.
The sandstorms continue.
Blood Servant, Skinny Monkey, lowered his gun and stood blankly on the truck bed.
Lin Bai straightened his slightly disheveled collar, and facing the empty wilderness and the only audience member—A Qi, he gracefully bowed and gave a standard curtain call.
"The performance has ended."
"Thank you all for your cooperation. In your next life... remember not to mess with scammers."
