Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Outside the emergency building of the Central Hospital, a taxi slowly pulled over and came to a stop.

"Thank you, Master."

The young office worker with dark circles under his eyes in the back seat paid the fare, opened the door, and got out of the car.

He walked unsteadily toward the hospital gate.

"Let's go."

The Mediterranean driver stepped on the gas, and the car had only slid about twenty meters before he slammed on the brakes and slammed on the gas!

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

The driver peeked out and immediately started cursing, "Who the hell set up this roadblock? The whole road is blocked!"

"The radio broadcasts about places being designated as restricted areas every day; I never thought I'd be the one to experience something so unlucky."

A hundred meters ahead, there were three layers of warning lines.

A group of heavily armed combatants blocked the main road completely.

"Well, buddy, I guess I'm done for today."

The driver slammed his fist on the steering wheel in frustration, pointing to the long line of cars ahead: "At this rate, it won't be clearing up anytime soon."

Lin Bai didn't reply, but simply turned on his phone screen.

23:45

There are still more than six hours until that fatal reset point, "6:00 AM".

If we can't get out of the Chengdong toll station before that time, all our efforts will be in vain.

His memories were reset, he reloaded his save file and woke up again as an ordinary person next to Su Wan... The despair he felt was worse than death.

"Fine, I'll just get off here."

Lin Bai pushed open the car door and got out. The night wind carried a pungent smell of disinfectant.

He squinted as he scanned the blockade ahead, a playful smile playing on his lips.

Any defense line composed of "people" will inevitably have loopholes.

He has this confidence because he possesses the ability of a "fraudster".

Lin Bai straightened his collar and took a step forward.

"Waaaaah—!!"

A piercing alarm suddenly tore through the night sky, followed by a frantic roar from the loudspeaker:

"Get out of the way! All of you get out of the way! Get lost if you don't want to die!!"

The roaring sound grew louder as it approached.

A pristine white special ambulance with no windows roared out from the end of the street!

It showed no intention of slowing down at all.

With a loud bang, several pedestrians who couldn't avoid the impact were sent flying.

Blood was spilled on the asphalt road and instantly crushed by the wheels of a car.

"Squeak—"

The ambulance braked suddenly and came to a stop across the hospital's main entrance.

Lin Bai's gaze focused on the car door, where a pure black pattern was painted:

A spiral pattern that continuously contracts inward and spirals downward.

"Click".

The rear door popped open, and white, cold air gushed out like dry ice.

"Quick! Stabilizer!!"

"We have to keep him under control! That guy's heart rate is about to explode!"

A group of "doctors" dressed in fully enclosed biohazard suits rushed out, pushing an extra-large stretcher in a flurry of activity.

On the stretcher, shackles made of an unknown metal bound a terrifying humanoid creature.

Judging by appearance, it was at least three meters tall, with a sickly bluish-gray skin and blood vessels bulging out like black earthworms, writhing wildly under the skin.

This isn't human! It's a piece of mutated, rotten flesh forcibly shaped into a human form!

"Oh my god... is that a monster?"

"Call the police! Call the police now!"

The surrounding onlookers screamed in terror.

Bound by the rules, they were unaware that they too were monsters.

At this moment, the fear they displayed was incredibly real.

There was only one attending physician wearing wire-rimmed glasses, running and shouting into the walkie-talkie:

"Everyone, go on high alert! This is the first known superhuman! And the first sample in the entire god-making project! We cannot afford to lose him!"

Extraordinary?

Lin Bai blended into the crowd, trying to minimize his presence, but inside he was experiencing a storm of emotions.

In this city, besides myself, are there other "superhumans"?

Or rather, did it happen in the past?

His intuition told him that this thing was extremely dangerous and he had to get away immediately!

Lin Bai made a quick decision and lowered the brim of his hat.

[Scent Disguise]

[Regulate one's own spiritual frequency and life magnetic field. Simulate control of one's own breath.]

At that moment, his presence was reduced to its lowest point, as if he had turned into a roadside stone.

Even the frequency of their breathing blends in with the ambient noise.

ten meters.

five meters.

They were about to step out of the shadow of the warning zone.

On the stretcher, the blue-skinned giant, who had been in a deep coma, suddenly opened his eyes.

Those were eyes without pupils, only a chaotic gray-white.

He struggled violently on the stretcher, the metal shackles making a sickening twisting sound.

Then, he suddenly turned his head.

His gaze pierced through the layers of people and the chaotic blockade, his muddled eyes fixed on Lin Bai, who was preparing to make a run for it.

Time seemed to stand still.

The blue-skinned giant roared from its throat.

Immediately afterwards, two crystal-clear words exploded in the deathly silent square:

"A living...person?!"

boom!

These two words seem to possess some kind of magic.

The noisy crowd fell silent instantly.

The doctor stopped in his tracks, the patient froze in place, and even the taxi driver who had been cursing just moments before stopped shaking his leg.

The wind stopped.

Lin Bai felt the [malice perception] between his eyebrows instantly spike to its maximum!

It was no longer a simple stinging pain, but rather like someone was holding a red-hot branding iron and stabbing it hard into his brain!

"grass."

Lin Bai only had time to utter one word in his mind.

The next second, the world changed.

The taxi driver's head was rotated 180 degrees on his neck, facing Lin Bai directly.

His mouth stretched from ear to ear, revealing a mouthful of fine, sharp teeth, with drool dripping onto the steering wheel.

The expressions on the faces of the terrified passersby instantly twisted into extreme greed.

"Living people? Where are there any living people?"

"It smells so good...it really smells so good..."

"Is it him? Is it that guy who looks like a stone?"

The rules have been broken.

Lin Bai never dreamed that there would be someone in this city who could disregard the rules and directly expose his human identity.

"roar--!!"

Someone shouted first, and the entire square instantly erupted in cheers.

The well-dressed office worker tore his clothes apart, revealing sharp claws;

The old woman, who was using a cane, threw it away and crawled on all fours like a spider.

Countless red eyes were fixed on that one and only outcast!

Run? Where to run?

All around him were monsters that craved flesh and blood.

A certain death trap.

"Since we can't escape, then..."

There was no fear in Lin Bai's eyes, only an extreme madness.

"Perfect timing to test this new skill!"

He casually swung his right hand downwards.

A sharp fruit knife appeared out of thin air in his palm—it was something he had taken from his home.

There was even a trace of dark red left on it.

That was... Su Wan's blood.

[Magic Space]

[A small, portable subspace exclusively for a con artist]

"Come on! Let me see how strong your teeth are!"

[Poker Face] Activation.

Don't assume that the function of a poker face is just about managing facial expressions.

This ability allows Lin Bai to perfectly control bodily functions such as heart rate, perspiration, and body temperature.

This means...

Within his body, adrenaline was being secreted at an uncontrolled rate.

Heart rate is forcibly locked at 120, blood supply is fully activated.

The world seemed to slow down in his eyes.

The sound of the wind was clearly audible, and the monsters' ferocious movements seemed to be slowed down.

This is the "fraudster".

What kind of skill is it to fool others?

Deceiving your own body and pushing beyond human limits is what truly matters!

A monster dressed as a nurse pounced first, its sharp nails aimed straight for Lin Bai's throat.

But in Lin Bai's eyes now, it's too slow.

Lin Bai's body instantly made a dodging movement that defied human ergonomics.

The sharp claw barely grazed the tip of his nose.

The ordinary fruit knife seemed to come alive in his hands.

The blade danced, spun, and twirled at her fingertips, creating a dazzling display of bladework.

[Passive Ability: Dexterous Fingers]

[Significantly improved hand speed and finger dexterity]

The dexterity of these hands is now so great that even the most skilled magicians would be ashamed to the point of suicide.

"Pfft!"

A flash of silver light, and it precisely cut into the monster's carotid artery.

It was originally just a normal attack.

But the moment the blade touched the monster's skin, something unexpected happened!

The trace of blood belonging to Su Wan that remained on the blade emitted a sizzling sound, similar to strong acid corrosion, the moment it came into contact with the monster's filthy blood!

"Aaaaaah—!!"

The nurse monster let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if it wasn't her neck that was being cut open, but her soul!

Black smoke billowed from the wound, and the surrounding flesh instantly became necrotic and ulcerated, making it impossible to heal!

Lin Bai's pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with elation.

Su Wan's blood... has this effect?

Good guy!

The nurse monster staggered back, clutching her smoking neck, her eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

"Pain? Why does it hurt so much...? This is the aura of someone in a superior position..."

The swarming monsters around them paused briefly.

In their minds, living people are food, and how could food possibly turn around and kill its diners?

This unscientific!

But it was only a brief pause.

The strong smell of blood only fueled their ferocity.

"Eat him!!"

"Peel his skin off and give it to me!!"

More, stronger, and more twisted monsters surged like a black tide, instantly engulfing that tiny figure.

Lin Bai did not retreat. He weaved through the gaps between the monsters, his knife flashing like afterimages.

[Dexterous Fingers] turn every attack into an art form.

The blade weaved between his fingers like a bloodthirsty silver butterfly.

A forehand strike to the eye, a backhand slit to the throat; a flick of the fingertip, and the hilt of the knife strikes the temple with precision.

[Poker Face] shields him from all negative statuses, making him like a sophisticated machine born for killing.

In just three seconds, the results were remarkable.

He blinded one of the monsters and severed the tendons of the other.

Handsome? Absolutely stunning.

But this is still a war that is doomed to fail.

There were too many monsters, and... that fruit knife wasn't a true divine weapon after all.

"Click."

After slicing open the throats of more than a dozen monsters, the fruit knife, a free gift from the supermarket, finally succumbed to the intense impact and broke off.

At the same time, a huge, hairy hand grabbed Lin Bai's neck from behind and slammed him to the ground.

Then came the second one, the third one...

"Well......"

The sensation of flesh being torn apart kept flooding my mind.

Even if a poker face blocks out pain, the damage to the body is still very real.

My vision began to blur, and my consciousness was rapidly plunging into darkness.

In the last second before he completely stopped breathing, Lin Bai stared intently at the special ambulance through the shadowy figures.

The green-skinned giant was lying on a stretcher, a hint of mockery flashing in his gray eyes, as if he were looking at an ant that had been stepped on.

He is laughing.

Behind the stretcher, the downward spiral sign became clearer and clearer through the blurry vision...

......
