Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

As the heavy, soundproof door to the office closed.

Fuminuma, who had been looking lazy, suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

He suddenly sat up straight.

He stared intently at the black metal box, his expression shifting from nonchalant to extremely solemn.

He pulled out an unmarked encrypted communicator from his pocket and dialed a number.

beep - beep -

"Feed".

A deep male voice came from the other end, carrying a sense of oppressive authority from someone who had long held a position of power.

"General Li."

Fuzuma's voice instantly became unusually respectful, even somewhat trembling.

There wasn't even a trace of the bigwigs from the outer city left:

"This is Fukunuma. There is an emergency that I must report to you."

"explain."

"The Spiral Tower... those people are really crazy."

Fuzuma took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the patterns on the box:

"Their experimental material leaked and even created a strange zone in the outer city. If it weren't for luck, my men would have accidentally taken care of it..."

"You mean, you got that 'sample number 039'?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly rose, revealing an undisguised urgency.

"Yes. The body is intact and right here with me."

silence.

A full five seconds passed before a hearty laugh came from the other end.

"Okay. Very good."

"Keep an eye on that box. My men will be there in half an hour. In the meantime, anyone who dares to reach for it..."

"Kill them all!"

Snapped.

The phone hangs up.

Fuzuma let out a long breath.

He glanced at the box, and the name Xie Qingtang had just mentioned popped into his mind again.

"To be able to escape unscathed from a ghostly realm of this level, and even turn the tables on the monster..."

Fuminuma stroked his chin, his eyes deep and unfathomable:

"This Mr. Bai seems to be quite remarkable."

"Luck...do you really think I'm stupid?"

He shook his head. "Qingtang... she's gone astray..."

......

Inside the apartment, the curtains were tightly drawn, blocking out the midday sun.

The room was silent, with only Ah Ya standing guard at the door like a silent iron tower, never leaving.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged on the bed, tightly gripping the [Spirit Erosion Mother Plate] in his hand.

hum-

An invisible force field instantly expanded, enveloping a space with a radius of three meters.

The restless, even polluting, spiritual energy in the air was rapidly filtered out the moment it passed through this force field.

Impurities are removed, and agitation is calmed.

What remains is pure, high-purity spirituality.

call--

Lin Bai took a deep breath.

Every pore was rejoicing, and the spiritual pool was growing at a visible rate.

This pleasure was so wonderful that Lin Bai didn't want to stop.

A moment later, Lin Bai opened his eyes, feeling the abundant power within his body, and couldn't help but sigh:

"This is the effect of the Spirit Erosion Mother Plate? It's practically a cheat code."

He had seen those mass-produced "spirit etching plates" on the black market.

Those inferior products with a filtration rate of 30% are touted as high-quality goods.

Achieving 50% was a special privilege reserved for the gentry of the inner city.

As for 70%? That's the grand finale item at the auction.

The one I have here has a filtration efficiency of 100%.

It can even be superimposed on other motherboards to create a certain qualitative change.

This is something that no other etched plate can match.

Consciousness sank into the mind.

[Spirit Erosion Motherboard III: Filters spiritual pollution in the air, allowing it to be directly absorbed by those with extraordinary abilities; filtration efficiency 100%.]

[Additional effect: Increases the maximum amount of spiritual energy]

[Note: Look at you, so pathetic! You think you're all that pure spiritual energy?]

The real use of this thing is to filter the spiritual energy from materials affected by calamities; that's the true "direct charging from the pump station."

[A naive, unsophisticated mongrel.]

Lin Bai automatically filtered out the last sarcastic remark and was in a very good mood.

As long as I can become stronger, I don't care if I'm just a mongrel.

However, how could such a marvelous artifact be treated as an ordinary antique and left to gather dust in a warehouse?

Any extraordinary person would probably discover its remarkable qualities after using it.

Question: Why didn't the Dirt Brothers recognize its value?

[Driving simulation in progress...]

Answer: Because it cannot be used.

[Note: You idiot, you don't think just anyone can activate this thing, do you?]

[This thing can only be activated by forbidden sequences. In the entire Blackrock City, the highest quality sequence among those bumpkins is only gold-level.]

It turned out to be the case.

......

Lin Bai put away the stone slab and turned his gaze back to the two remaining spoils on the coffee table.

A piece of black [doll metal], and half a pale, eerie [broken porcelain surface].

【Puppet Tin: An extraordinary material that can be processed using alchemy or used directly】

We don't need this for now.

However, this is only temporary.

Since Gu Canglan is a master alchemist, perhaps he can process it into some kind of powerful armor.

The real highlight is this mask.

With a thought, Lin Bai instantly unfolded the detailed information on the parchment:

[Forbidden item: A famous actress's broken mask].

[Core Ability: Stand]

[Description: In this grand stage play, the lead actors are always glamorous. Pain and death? That's for the lowly stand-ins.]

[Mechanism: Binds to a "flesh and blood creature". During the binding period, all physical damage received by the user will be 100% transferred to the substitute.]

[Visual effect: You get hit by an RPG, you'll only flicker like a hologram, your hair won't even be messed up. But your Stand... explodes on the spot.]

[Restrictions: 1. Within a 50-meter radius. 2. Damage transfer is bidirectional (damage taken by your Stand will also be transferred to you).]

Upon seeing this, Lin Bai instantly understood.

The power of forbidden objects originates from the bizarre.

The reason why the puppet lady in the ghost realm seems to be "physically immune" is not because she has thick skin, but because she transfers all the damage to the puppets in the theater!

Unless all the clones are killed, the original body is invincible.

"That's interesting..."

Lin Bai stroked his chin, his mind racing, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the mute by the door.

Aya is a [Blood Servant].

What are the characteristics of Blood Servant?

First, I can't feel any pain.

Second, as long as there is enough blood energy, severed hands and feet can be reattached instantly and regenerated at lightning speed.

A "health pack" that restores health infinitely, plus a "conduit" that forcibly transfers damage.

Isn't this just... an invincibility cheat?!

Lin Bai's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

But suddenly, he shook his head.

No, that's not right, you can't use it like that.

"We can't just tie Aya up directly."

Ah Ya is now Lin Bai's main fighting force, so injuries are inevitable.

If he were to be bound to A-Ya, the injuries he sustained would be transferred to Lin Bai.

He can't stand that.
