Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

The three walked through the deathly silent corridor, the atmosphere so oppressive it was suffocating.

Buck followed closely behind Lin Bai, each step feeling like he was stepping on a landmine, his eyes darting around as if afraid something might jump out from the corner.

In contrast, Lin Bai.

Strolling leisurely, his gaze casually swept over the eerie oil paintings on the wall, as if he were browsing his own private art exhibition.

when--!!!

The dull, drawn-out chimes rang out again without warning.

The air in the entire corridor froze instantly.

Buck shuddered, as if a pause button had been pressed, and froze on the spot, maintaining an extremely awkward one-legged stance.

Cold sweat dripped down his nose, but he didn't dare to breathe, his heart pounding like a drum.

Ahead, darkness surged.

Four enormous "Clockwork Butchers," dragging massive chainsaws, emerged from the shadows.

Sizzle sizzle...

The sound of chainsaws spinning idly echoed through the corridor.

Their red-glowing glass eyes stared intently at the three of them as they approached step by step.

Buck's heart was pounding in his throat.

He glanced at Lin Bai, who was leaning gracefully against the wall with his arms crossed, looking incredibly composed.

"As expected of Advisor Bai... He remains unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before him."

Buck's admiration had just begun to rise when it turned into terror in the next second.

Because he saw—

That bodyguard, Ah Ya, who's as tall as an iron tower, actually moved!

Despite the inevitable death rule of the resounding bells, Aya did not stop. Instead, she strode forward and charged towards the four clockwork butchers!

Are you crazy?!

That's suicidal!

"Don't move!!!"

Buck didn't have time to think and instinctively roared out.

puff!

The instant he opened his mouth, an invisible thread tightened instantly.

Buck's mouth was slashed open, blood spurting out, leaving a gruesome gash on his left cheek.

The excruciating pain nearly made him faint, but he couldn't care less about himself and kept his eyes fixed on what was ahead.

It’s over.

That big guy is going to be sliced ​​into sashimi!

however.

The next second, Buck witnessed a scene that shattered his worldview.

Aya rushed into the monster horde, seemingly oblivious to the powerful, crystalline threads of rules in the air that could cut through gold and jade.

There was no cutting sound, no wound.

Ah Ya grabbed a Clockwork Butcher's chainsaw and unleashed a burst of brute force; the pure, violent aesthetic was almost like taking apart a toy.

Click!

He actually managed to tear the chainsaw off along with the monster's mechanical arm!

boom!

With a powerful backhand slam, he smashed the other butcher into the wall like a nail, and it couldn't be pried off.

violence.

Pure, rule-ignoring, and unreasonable violence.

In just three seconds, the four elite monsters that had terrified Buck were reduced to scrap metal.

when--

The lingering sound of the bell faded away.

The corridor returned to deathly silence, with only the occasional crackling of electricity from the chainsaw.

Aya shook the liquid off her hands expressionlessly, then stood back behind Lin Bai as if nothing had happened.

Buck covered his bleeding mouth, his eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, his head buzzing.

He looked at the wreckage scattered on the ground, then at the unharmed Aya, and finally stiffly turned to look at Lin Bai.

My mind is a complete mess.

Why?

Why was he fine after he moved?

Why do I get stabbed every time I move?

Could it be that the rules in this strange realm... discriminate based on the person being served?!

That's such a double standard!

"Hmm..."

Lin Bai stepped forward, glanced at the wound on Buck's face, and shook his head with some regret.

"His loyalty is commendable."

He patted Buck's stiff shoulder and handed him a handkerchief.

"But next time, don't talk so much."

Buck took the handkerchief with trembling hands, pressed it against the wound on his face, hissed in pain, and asked indistinctly:

"Consultant Bai... why...?"

Lin Bai raised a finger and placed it to his lips.

"Shhh."

In those deep eyes, there flickered a mysterious light that Buck couldn't quite fathom.

"In this world, some people are born to follow the rules."

"And some people..."

Lin Bai glanced at Aya behind him, who looked like the Grim Reaper, and chuckled, his tone carrying a captivating arrogance:

"Born to trample the rules underfoot."

Buck was startled.

Although he didn't understand everything, he was deeply moved.

At this moment, Lin Bai's image in his mind instantly rose from "high-IQ strategist" to "an indescribable big shot".

The rules here don't apply to Consultant Bai's people?!

What kind of extraordinary means is this?

What kind of dimensional reduction attack is this?!

Without a second thought, Buck knelt down on one knee with a thud, his eyes burning with the fervor of a believer.

"Advisor Bai! My life is yours from now on! If you say east, I'll never go west!"

A fleeting smile crossed Lin Bai's eyes.

well.

This show-off was perfect; that's exactly the effect I wanted.

"Get up, don't waste time."

Lin Bai turned around and walked into the depths of the corridor, his back view elegant.

"Since the host sent so many toys to welcome us..."

"It would be extremely impolite of us not to say hello."

......

For Buck, the rest of the journey was like a dreamlike experience with superpowers.

What was originally a terrifying and treacherous realm was transformed into Lin Bai's personal stage.

Along the way, they found two more underlings who had miraculously survived but were terrified.

The two men, who had been huddled in a corner trembling with fear, had expressions as varied as if they had witnessed God descending to earth when they saw Lin Bai leading his men and pushing their way through.

"Keep up."

Lin Bai didn't waste any words, simply uttering two words.

The two immediately scrambled to join the group, looking at Lin Bai as if he were their second parents.

The team has grown to five people.

Every time the bell rang, Lin Bai led everyone to gracefully freeze, as if they were performing a large-scale performance art piece.

Meanwhile, Ah Ya transforms into a bulldozer, wreaking havoc in a static world.

They swept through the enemy lines.

Unstoppable momentum.

at last.

After passing through a long red carpet corridor, a huge double wooden door, five meters high, appears at the end.

The door is carved with countless distorted human faces, seemingly wailing silently.

An eerie crimson light shone through the crack in the door.

Faintly, one could hear ethereal yet eerie nursery rhymes coming from inside.

"Only obedient children...can get candy..."

"Disobedient children...will be made into dolls..."

Buck and his two underlings swallowed hard, their legs feeling weak.

The eerie sense of oppression emanating from those in high positions made them instinctively want to escape.

"arrive."

Lin Bai stopped and looked up at the door.

He could sense that the so-called doll lady was behind this door.

"Open the door."

Lin Bai gave the order calmly.

Aya stepped forward and braced her hands against the heavy door.
