Chapter 366 Ambush
309.
After seeing the house number clearly, Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He silently reached his hand behind his back and grabbed the handle of the oil-paper umbrella, as if he was ready to pull it out the next moment.
Seeing this, Lao Lu on the side also reached into his sleeve with one hand and took out a folding fan. Only Feng Gui, who was standing at the end, still stood there expressionless, as if he had no intention of taking action.
Lin Xi's hand slowly grasped the door handle, took a deep breath, and pushed hard!
Stab-!
The door was pushed open by Lin Xi in an instant. The next moment, a large amount of flour was swept up by the airflow and hit his face instantly!
At the same time, a thin needle at the bottom of the door grazed the ground at high speed, sparks bursting out. Seeing this scene, the pupils of Maple Ghost behind him suddenly shrank!
"careful!!"
boom--! ! !
Sparks ignited the dust flying all over the room, and the fire twisted the air and exploded, submerging the three people in the blink of an eye!
…
A loud bang sounded not far away, and even the floor and walls of the inn were shaking slightly.
All the residents woke up from their sleep and walked out of the room in a daze. Through the window, they saw the blasted corridor not far away and the thick smoke billowing out of it. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
"What happened?"
"It seemed like something exploded..."
"God, no one was hurt, right?"
"..."
Everyone's discussion rang out in the corridor, and four figures among them also watched the excitement and came to the window, curiously looking at the direction of the explosion.
The innkeeper hurried up to the third floor and was shocked when he saw the thick smoke billowing out!
"This this……"
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
A violent cough sounded from the thick smoke.
Three figures walked out of the black smoke in a somewhat embarrassed manner. The oil-paper umbrella in Lin Xi's hand was scorched black, and a lot of Lao Lu's hair was burned off. As for Maple Ghost, he didn't look injured on the outside, but the palms in his sleeves were also darkened. one slice.
They saw the crowd in the corridor looking blankly at them, their expressions as ugly as if they had eaten flies.
"Damn it...we were tricked! Did he guess that we were coming??" Lin Xi said in a deep voice.
"Didn't you say that that person is a reckless man with an extreme personality?" Lao Lu stroked his few hairs and said angrily, "A reckless man can predict our actions and set up explosions in advance. trap??"
"After discovering the existence of the [Circle], most people will panic because they have nowhere to escape, and subconsciously look for a place to hide themselves... But not only did he not hide, but he arranged a counterattack in such a short period of time. I didn’t intend to be a prey from the beginning.” Feng Gui’s voice was cold to the bone.
"I can guarantee that he is definitely hiding nearby now, watching us step into the trap!"
Lin Xi's eyes immediately swept around, but now there were more than ten people watching them in the inn alone, and in the alley outside the inn, more and more people came after hearing the sound, pointing in this direction. .
"It's too easy to hide people in this place, and if he is really a magician, he may change his face and blend into the crowd..."
"What to do next? Arrest them all?"
"Then things would be too big...and even if they were arrested, it would take time to identify them one by one. What's more, we are not sure whether he is in the crowd at all, maybe he is secretly watching here from somewhere else. ”
Several people were communicating in low voices, and more and more people gathered around them. The innkeeper walked forward with a pale face, and his hands trembled when he saw the blackened room behind.
"You... what are you doing? It's not easy for me to run a small business. This..."
Lin Xi saw the boss coming and asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, has that person ever come out since he checked in?"
"No, I never came out."
The three of them looked at each other, and Lao Lu gave them a secret look, "I understand, let's go first."
The three of them walked down the stairs in a state of embarrassment and left the inn amidst the confused discussions of many residents.
When they walked out of the door of the inn, Lao Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and gently flipped the palms under his sleeves. The fine black dots gathered into a turbulent flow, fell from the sleeves to the ground, and then spread in all directions.
If you look closely, you can see clearly that these black dots are actually countless tiny black ants. The ants' bodies seem to be outlined with extremely fine pens, small, precise, and vivid.
With Lao Lu's wave, most of these ant colonies got into the inn, and a small part radiated out to the surrounding lanes.
"Are you sure?" Lin Xi asked.
"We left under the watchful eyes of everyone. If he was among them, he should have lowered his guard." Lao Lu turned his head and glanced at the outline of the inn in the mist and rain. "I have already kept an eye on this place. If anyone behaves strangely, I will be there immediately." Can lock him in."
"What a handy skill."
"It's okay. Although there are a lot of them spread out, the range of action is very limited. I can't leave within two hundred meters of them."
Lin Xi glanced around and locked onto a teahouse not far away. "In that case, let's go there and wait... If we lock him in, we can intercept him as soon as possible."
"good."
…
The innkeeper stood at the door of the bombed-out room, looked inside for a moment, and sighed with pain on his face.
"It seems to be a dust explosion. I think everything inside was blown up."
"Yes, it will cost a lot of money to repair it now. Who were those three people just now?"
"I don't know, but he doesn't look like a police officer."
"Did you hear about it? Liu Zhen is now covered by a [circle]. He can only enter but not exit. He should be investigating something important. Could the three just now be..."
"Ah?! Don't tell me, I think that person is carrying an oil-paper umbrella, it's weird, maybe it's true!"
"Then this is an eye-opener for us..."
"It's just that the boss is pitiful. His good-looking room was bombed. It's an unreasonable disaster."
"Yes, I don't even know who to ask for compensation..."
"..."
Amidst the whispers of everyone watching the excitement, the innkeeper walked down the stairs dejectedly. After writing a few notes in the book on the counter, he turned and walked into the lounge, as if he wanted to be quiet for a while.
As the door closed, the loneliness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a pair of shining eyes...
He raised his hand and tore it off on his chin, and his face floated in the air.
"There are three people in total, all of whom are Level 3. If nothing else happens, this should be all the people they have to capture me... They didn't alert the Level 4, which is good news.
Unfortunately, the umbrella painter opened the umbrella too quickly and protected the two people behind him, failing to test their skills. "
Chen Ling seemed a little disappointed as she recalled what she had just seen.
