Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

The wilderness, a battlefield strewn with corpses.

Lin Bai tossed the walkie-talkie around a couple of times and shrugged helplessly.

As a skilled con artist, he has an innate sensitivity to the smell of lies.

Anyone with a brain would know what was going on during that strange silence.

It's been exposed.

Although it's unclear exactly which detail caused the problem, the fact that the other party cut off communication means they've become suspicious of him.

"You reacted pretty quickly." Lin Bai pursed his lips, looking completely unconcerned.

"But it's not a big deal. Knowing the words 'Spiral Tower' makes this a worthwhile investment."

He turned around, jumped off the pickup truck, and slowly walked to the huge iron cage.

Inside the cage, Ah Qi was curled up in a corner, his huge body trembling uncontrollably.

The announcement "Experiment time is up" just now, while unlocking his abilities, also instantly drained his strength.

At this moment, his face was as white as a sheet of paper, and his glassy eyes were filled with fear, and... deep shock.

He really didn't expect it.

That doctor, who looked refined and even somewhat thin, actually killed Cade.

The man who was as terrifying as a devil in his eyes, Cade, now lay not far away like a pile of rotten flesh, cold to the bone.

and......

Ah Qi's gaze passed over Lin Bai and fell in horror on the skinny monkey standing on the truck bed, radiating an astonishing aura.

Resurrected from the dead?

This bizarre ability is extremely rare, even among extraordinary individuals.

"Who...who are you?"

Ah Qi's voice trembled, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Bai was no longer simply fearful, but rather held a hint of awe for the unknown.

Lin Bai looked at the giant in the cage, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

The moment Lin Bai saw Ah Qi, he understood exactly how he had been exposed.

He had initially assumed that the Spiral Tower wanted either the valuable "Sky-Splitting Cicada Wings" or the mysterious potion. That's why he had casually mentioned earlier that "the items are all with me."

But now, looking back, why would someone as greedy as Cade keep Ah Qi in a specially made alloy cage and have someone watch over him 24 hours a day?

Even when fleeing for their lives, they would rather abandon a large amount of supplies than leave behind this cumbersome cage.

The answer is obvious.

Those so-called treasures are nothing more than freebies.

What the Spiral Tower really wants is this big, silly guy in front of it who looks like a frightened rabbit!

Who I am is not important.

Lin Bai walked to the cage and gently tapped the cold iron bars with his slender fingers.

"The important thing is, you're worth much more than I thought, Number Seven."

Upon hearing the code name "Number Seven," Ah Qi froze, instinctively covering his head and wishing he could shrink into the ground.

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with calculations.

Take him away?

The thought was extinguished by Lin Bai as soon as it arose.

Although Ah Qi was an uncontrollable "ally" just now, it was purely because he possessed the parchment and knew the specific command words in advance.

This guy's mental state is extremely unstable; carrying him around is like carrying a ticking time bomb.

Furthermore, since he said someone would come to rescue him, it means he definitely has some kind of tracking device on him.

"call......"

Lin Bai exhaled a breath of stale air, and reason regained its footing.

"It seems our relationship can only go this far."

He shook his head, did not open the cage, and turned to walk towards Cade's body.

Since we can't take living people with us, we can at least make use of them, right?

Lin Bai planned to extract the [Crimson Blood Seed] from the skinny monkey's body and insert it into Cade's body.

With Cade's physique and those mechanically modified prosthetics, if he were to be forged into a [Blood Servant]...

That's definitely more than a hundred times better than that skinny monkey!

Lin Bai raised his left hand, and the red light on the ring began to flash excitedly, a signal that it craved blood.

He was about to make a move.

"If you're trying to resurrect him..."

Behind them, Ah Qi's timid voice suddenly rang out, tinged with urgency.

"I...I suggest you don't do that."

Lin Bai paused, turned to look at Ah Qi, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Give me a reason?"

"Cade... his modification surgery was done through official channels in Blackrock City. Each of those robotic arms has a unique serial number and an internal beacon."

Ah Qi mustered her courage, and although she still dared not look Lin Bai in the eye, she spoke rapidly:

"If you bring him along, you'll be locked up very quickly, and it will... it will be very troublesome."

Lin Bai remained silent for a moment.

indeed.

Walking around with a mechanical corpse that has distinctive features is practically like having the words "I am the murderer, come and catch me" written all over his forehead.

Moreover, the power of the Crimson Greenhouse is too exaggerated. In this world full of unknowns, revealing your trump card too early is tantamount to courting death.

Thanks.

Lin Bai said it casually.

This was the first time he had shown a genuine expression towards this "experimental subject".

This big, clumsy guy, though timid, is surprisingly smart.

Since we can't refine Cade, then for safety's sake...

Lin Bai turned to look at the skinny monkey standing on the truck bed.

This one can't be kept either.

Although Skinny Monkey is just a minor character, he could still be a potential threat if he were recognized and traced back to himself.

When you do something, you have to go all the way.

To cut the grass, you must remove the roots.

"Brother, dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Since I can't take you home, I can only sadly accept that you will disappear completely."

Lin Bai walked up to the skinny monkey and made a thought.

"vomit--"

The skinny monkey opened his mouth, and a scarlet, pulsating seed flew out from deep in his throat. As if it had a spirit, it disappeared back into Lin Bai's ring.

As the blood seed left his body, the skinny monkey's body, which was originally full of eerie vitality, instantly collapsed and turned back into a cold and stiff corpse.

After doing all this, Lin Bai took one last look around at this chaotic scene.

"When the stage play ends, the actors should also leave the stage."

Lin Bai pulled up his collar, wrapped the wolf horns behind him tightly, and disappeared silently into the vast wilderness like a ghost.

Only the prison van carrying Ah Qi remained, silently awaiting its unknown fate.

In the wind, the conman's last, light whisper could be faintly heard:

"Ah Qi, I hope that next time we meet, you won't be a bird in a cage."
