Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

"Haha." Lin Bai laughed, without responding to the others.

Instead, she turned to look at Lan Xiao, "And what about you? What do you think?"

at this time.

Lan Xiao, who had been watching the spectacle with amusement, changed her expression the moment she saw the pills in Lin Bai's hand.

He stared intently at Lin Bai.

That is......

That was exactly what he was looking for!

Gene stabilizer for "Number Seven"!

The teacher repeatedly emphasized that these were crucial items that must be taken home; if you didn't get them, you'd see the disappointment in the teacher's eyes...

Lan Xiao suddenly shivered.

"Put it down."

Lan Xiao's voice was no longer aloof; it now carried an undisguised urgency.

"That's not something you can touch, you mortal. Don't go looking for trouble."

"Oh?"

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow slightly, his fingers deftly rotating the two strips of pills, making a crisp "clattering" sound that was pure torture to Lan Xiao's ears.

"Isn't Iron Fist already made things very clear to you? I can take whatever's on the ground."

Lin Bai looked at Lan Xiao with a half-smile, his eyes full of amusement:

"What's wrong, sir? Are you in a hurry?"

Lan Xiao took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the murderous urge in her heart.

He didn't want to lose his composure in front of these lowly people, and he certainly didn't want to get his gloves dirty over a few ants.

"Twenty gold coins," Lan Xiao said coldly.

"That's just two strips of expired nerve suppressants; it won't work on you. Twenty gold coins are enough for someone like you to squander for a year, or even buy a temporary residence permit on the outskirts of the inner city."

Lin Bai didn't speak, but just smiled and shook his head.

"Fifty!" Lan Xiao gritted her teeth.

Lin Bai maintained that charming smile.

She even slowly put the pills into her pocket right in front of him, and patted them to make sure they were secure.

"One hundred!!"

Lan Xiao's voice even carried a hint of roaring, and the veins on his neck bulged out.

"Don't be ungrateful! A hundred gold coins could buy your life ten times over!"

Iron Fist and his henchmen were completely dumbfounded.

One hundred gold coins?

Just for two strips of cheap medicine?

Is this mysterious person out of their mind? Or is they just burning money?

At this moment, the way they looked at Lin Bai was as if he were a god.

It still has to be a strategist!

That's vision! That's insight!

He picked out the most valuable treasure from a pile of scrap metal at a glance! It was a whole 100 gold coins...

Lin Bai patted his pocket before raising his head and calmly meeting Lan Xiao's gaze.

"This isn't about money."

Lin Bai raised a finger and gently shook it in the air.

I really didn't like the way you looked at me just now.

"You call us ants."

Lin Bai took a step forward, his smile gradually fading, replaced by a chilling coldness.

"Now, the item is in my hands."

"Since you want it so badly..."

Lin Bai tilted his head slightly, speaking each word deliberately, his words chilling and insidious:

"Please, me, please."

boom!

These words were like a spark that ignited the powder keg of Lan Xiao's "self-esteem".

"You're asking for it!!"

Lan Xiao's pale face instantly turned a deep liver color, a mixture of shame and anger, and fury at being provoked by an ant.

Since becoming a superhuman, no one, not even a single mortal, has ever dared to rub his face into the ground like this!

call--!

The air inside the tunnel instantly became restless.

Three clusters of dark blue flames exploded out of thin air and spun rapidly around Lanxiao.

A sudden gust of wind rose, causing his elegant gray robe to flutter wildly.

"I'm going to burn you to ashes and then scatter them down the drain to feed the rats!"

Lan Xiao made a fist with both hands, and the flames instantly lengthened, transforming into three burning spears that pointed directly at Lin Bai's brow.

"Damn it! Do you think I'm dead?!"

With a roar, Iron Fist's skin instantly turned red, and a large amount of steam gushed out as if a pot had boiled.

He was like a runaway humanoid tank that suddenly burst out.

at the same time.

A black figure emerged from the shadow of the pillar like a ghost.

Xie Qingtang gripped the short knife in reverse, crouching low like a venomous snake poised to strike, with only one target—Lan Xiao's throat.

And Aya was even more direct.

He took a step forward, blocking Lin Bai's path, his eyes gleaming with a bright, scarlet light.

A terrifying field of telekinesis was poised to explode, ready to crush anything that came near.

Three against one!

Although Lan Xiao is an extraordinary being, he is still a fragile mage.

Facing two Sequence 9 combatants, plus a top-tier assassin.

If a real fight breaks out, he will most likely be torn to pieces on the spot.

But his obsession with completing the task assigned by his teacher, coupled with the anger of being humiliated, caused him to completely lose his mind.

Iron Fist's fist was already close to Lan Xiao's face, and the battle was about to break out.

......

creak-

A piercing, ear-piercing sound, like fingernails scraping against a blackboard.

Suddenly, it came from that black iron box that everyone had forgotten.

The sound was like a woman's shrill scream, born of extreme resentment.

"whee......"

Immediately following was a faint, almost imperceptible laugh, light and airy, yet sending chills down one's spine.

Everyone froze in that instant.

Iron Fist felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

It was a chilling feeling of being watched by some great terror, as if a cold hand were gripping your heart.

The lid of the huge black iron box suddenly flew off on its own!

An invisible, transparent ripple, like water, spread out instantly from the box.

Wherever it passed, the light distorted, the colors faded, and the world seemed to turn into a faded black and white photograph.

"This...this is..."

The expression on Lan Xiao's face, which had been filled with murderous intent, instantly changed from anger to terror the moment he saw the ripples.

That was a look of utter disbelief.

"A ghost realm? How is this possible... How could this thing go out of control at this time? This is the ghost realm of the 'Doll Lady'!"

Lan Xiao screamed, her voice cracking, and the flaming spear she had been holding instantly shattered into sparks.

At this moment, none of the medicine or face mattered.

He disregarded his appearance and used the wind to retreat frantically, desperately trying to escape the area covered by the ripples.

He knew all too well what this was.

Once you get it, you're guaranteed to die!

But Lin Bai and the others were too close.

"Back off!"

Lin Bai only managed to utter two words.

That invisible ripple had already silently swallowed everything.

hum-

The world is quiet.

Lin Bai, Aya, Xie Qingtang, and a few unlucky underlings closest to the box vanished instantly.

Along with the black iron box, it vanished into thin air.

The tunnel was empty except for a few flickering emergency lights that hissed and illuminated the corpses scattered on the ground.

Lan Xiao stood dozens of meters away, panting heavily, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.

He stared intently at the open space in front of him, his face extremely grim.

"It's over..."

"It's all over."

Entering that level of bizarre realm, let alone those few mortals, even a Sequence 8 powerhouse would face a near-certain death.

And as long as they die inside.

Those two vials of potion will be lost forever in the Ghost Realm, along with that damned mortal.

Lan Xiao gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with both the relief of surviving a disaster and the panic of mission failure.

Now, the only way is to ask the teacher for help and try to forcefully break through the ghostly realm from the outside!

Hopefully, those few ordinary people can hold on until the teacher arrives...

With trembling hands, he pulled a communicator from his pocket.

The call had just connected, and before anyone could speak, Iron Fist, who had narrowly escaped being engulfed by the shockwave, suddenly charged forward.

She grabbed his collar.

"What did you do?"

Where is my brother?

Lan Xiao's spiritual energy surged, and the elemental power shook off the iron fist's palm.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"That's a ghost realm, the Puppet Lady's ghost realm. Even a Sequence 8 powerhouse who enters will not survive!"

"I don't have time to talk to you right now. If you want them to live, get out of the way and I'll get someone to help!"

Iron Fist stood there, stunned.

Strange realm?

Originating from a powerful and eerie force, it is filled with rules that manifest the essence of the eerie entity, making it dangerous and deadly!

The problem is, this is Blackrock City. How could there be anything strange in the city?

Beside him, Lan Xiao was reporting into the walkie-talkie with a look of terror on her face.

"T-Teacher..."

Something's happened.

"The stabilizer... got caught up in the Doll Lady's bizarre realm..."
