You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Beneath the stage, there was absolute darkness and deathly silence.

On the stage, Beethoven's "Fate" is roaring.

That magnificent melody, in Lin Chen's ears at this moment, was no longer art, but a countdown to death, the only battle drum to cover his crazy surgery.

Every accented note, every drumbeat, is a signal for him to take action!

Boom-!

When Su Ke'er's fingertips first struck that heavy chord, it was as if fate was knocking on the door!

Lin Chen moved.

[God-level magic hand speed], ultimate burst!

His hands lost their physical form in an instant, turning into two silver afterimages, so fast that even the afterimages could not be captured!

The phantom precisely probed into a pre-reserved maintenance gap, thinner than a hair, on the side of the Death Matrix.

There was not the slightest probing.

His fingertips frantically weaved through the lines that were a thousand times more intricate than a spider web, each touch carrying an absolute, unquestionable will!

Boom-!

The piano music overhead fell heavily once more!

"Click".

A faint, almost imperceptible click of a mechanism snapping open came from inside the metal box.

He precisely removed the safety clip of the first interlocking mercury balancer.

The moment the sound appeared, it was completely swallowed up and submerged by the overwhelming sound waves coming from above, leaving not a ripple in the air.

No one noticed.

Lin Chen's breathing rate had dropped to freezing point, and he seemed to have merged into the darkness.

His eyes were fixed on the core audio sensor diaphragm that was trembling violently under the vibrations of the piano music, his pupils reflecting billions of deconstructed data points.

This kind of extreme micromanagement at the atomic level is devastating to both the mind and body.

Lin Chen felt every muscle fiber in his body groaning in pain under this extreme tension, almost spasming.

A drop of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, tracing the contours of his chiseled face, but he controlled it with subtle muscle manipulation, keeping it suspended under his chin, refusing to fall.

He couldn't let any tiny variable affect this gamble with death!

Time passed by, second by second.

The music on stage is gradually gliding towards its most brilliant, yet most deadly, cadenza!

Just as Lin Chen was about to dismantle the last core component, at the critical moment when he was about to seize death by the throat.

An unexpected change occurred!

[God-level Danger Perception]!

Without any warning, a crimson bolt of lightning exploded deep within his mind!

Deadly threat!

From behind!

Almost at the same instant the alarm sounded, two ghostly figures that blended into the darkness had silently infiltrated to within five meters of him!

It was the two loyal apprentices of the sound engineer who stayed in the theater to do the final checks!

They came to admire "Teacher's" greatest work of art and to witness this grand funeral for three thousand people.

However, what they saw was their "sacred relic" being desecrated and destroyed by an intruder!

Those two pairs of eyes hidden in the shadows suddenly erupted with bloodthirsty madness and a murderous intent to destroy everything!

They are madmen, fanatics!

There was no nonsense, not a single warning.

The two apprentices moved in unison, drawing Glock pistols that had already been fitted with silencers from their pockets.

The dark muzzle of the gun instantly locked onto Lin Chen's back and head!

next second.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Two muffled, soft sounds, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

Two 9mm bullets, imbued with the aura of death, pierced the deathly silence, weaving a deadly net that struck Lin Chen from two completely different and cunning angles, aiming straight for every blind spot around him!

However, they were facing Lin Chen.

Just 0.01 seconds before the bullet was about to hit his body.

Lin Chen didn't turn his head.

His rock-solid body shifted five centimeters laterally to the left in a posture that completely defied human biomechanics!

Only five centimeters!

puff!

One of the bullets grazed his temple, the force of the gust of wind ruffling the black hair on his forehead.

Another bullet, aimed at his back, struck his left scapula hard!

A dull, muffled thud resounded!

[Intermediate Body Protection Vest] Passive Trigger!

A violent impact, mixed with searing pain, came crashing down, as if a heavy hammer had struck my back.

Lin Chen groaned, his body trembling almost imperceptibly, but he managed to lock the kinetic energy—enough to shatter the bones of an ordinary person—into his muscles!

The bullet deformed and fell limply to the ground, leaving only a hideous scorch mark beneath his suit!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

Lin Chen's left hand remained firmly in place, gripping the platinum coil at the very core of the bomb without moving an inch.

But the moment he completed that bizarre step, his right hand swung in the opposite direction!

A beam of silver light shot out from his sleeve!

[God-level mastery of hidden weapons]!

"Whoosh—!"

The specially made tactical dagger he had concealed in his sleeve transformed into a deadly streak of light that tore through the darkness, arriving before anyone else with a barely perceptible whooshing sound!

"Pfft!"

A dull thud as a sharp blade pierced flesh!

The sinister smile on one of the apprentices' faces froze instantly. He hadn't even seen what happened when the streak of light pierced his throat with perfect accuracy!

Scalding blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the cold, load-bearing pillars behind him!

The other apprentice was horrified!

He never dreamed that this man could turn the tables and kill him under such circumstances!

Extreme horror instantly transformed into a frenzy of mutual destruction!

"To dedicate myself to the teacher's 'Funeral'!"

He let out a hoarse roar, and instead of continuing to fire, he lunged at the black bomb!

He wanted to use his own body to manually detonate this magnificent work of art!

at the same time!

The music playing overhead had entered its final, ecstatic phase!

Su Ke'er's arms drew the most beautiful and sacred arc in mid-air, and she was completely immersed in the world of music, ready to strike that earth-shattering cadenza!

Lore!

Triple kill!

Below the stage, Lin Chen's pupils reflected three completely different images.

First, it is the fingertip that is about to touch the core resonant membrane.

Second, there was the fanatic's twisted hand reaching for the manually detonating device.

Thirdly, on the stage, Su Ke'er's delicate hands, about to fall and play a funeral for three thousand people!

Time seemed to freeze completely at this moment!
