Chapter 371 Weaving Destiny
[△Hearing the explosion, three members of Fushenge rushed over immediately]
"what happened?!"
Lin Xi was the first to rush into the inn and saw the innkeeper holding his head in his hands, hiding timidly behind the table.
"No... you don't know?!" Chen Ling's voice was trembling, "I was settling accounts here, and suddenly there was an explosion in the yard, and it seemed like the kitchen..."
The three of them looked away from Chen Ling, and Lao Lu nodded:
"This boss is innocent. He has been here just now."
"Go to the explosion site!"
Lin Xi and the other three rushed towards the smoke-filled yard without hesitation.
The boss behind the counter saw Lin Xi and the others rushing to the kitchen, and he mustered up the courage to follow them.
The raging fire was still burning, and blazing light flashed from time to time from the blackened kitchen doors and windows. With the vision obscured by thick smoke, everything around was gray.
"I just blew up a room, and now I'm blowing up a kitchen! What evil have I done..." The boss's wailing sounded from behind the three of them.
"Shut up!" Maple Ghost, who was concentrating on searching for traces of the enemy, frowned and shouted.
The boss's face turned pale and he was so angry that he stopped talking.
"The ants arranged in the yard have basically been burned, and now you can't see anything." Lao Lu said in a deep voice.
"So there are ants in the kitchen?"
"I asked Ant to investigate. No one was inside, so he came out."
"Now it seems that that madman has probably been hiding in the kitchen and deceived your perception in some way..." After all, Lin Xi had fought against Chen Ling. From his perspective, Chen Ling had too many tricks. It's so weird. It's not surprising that there are special hiding methods.
"But why did he blow up this place suddenly?"
"Maybe they are impatient under our surveillance and are planning to use this method to destroy the ant colony and force their way out." Lao Lu put forward the most likely hypothesis.
"Then is he still in the kitchen now, or has he come out?"
As soon as this question came out, the faces of the three people suddenly became ugly. Lin Xi gritted his teeth, took off the oil paper umbrella behind his back, and rushed into the blazing kitchen!
[△Just as the umbrella painter was about to rush into the kitchen, the burning flames heated and expanded the gas in the two spare gas tanks, and the pressure continued to rise, triggering a second round of gas explosions]
boom--! ! !
Lin Xi stepped into the kitchen, and a dazzling explosive fireball exploded in the kitchen, and the fire beam instantly engulfed his figure!
The explosion this time was even more terrifying than before. The small kitchen had been completely blown open. After the surging sea of fire flooded Lin Xi, it rushed toward the three Lao Lu people behind them.
"Is it a trap?!" The faces of Lao Lu and Feng Gui behind him changed greatly!
Maple Ghost raised his hand, and countless fluttering maple leaves rolled out from his sleeves, blocking the surging sea of fire in front of him and protecting Lao Lu beside him and Chen Ling, who was disguised as the boss behind him.
"This... this..." The innkeeper's legs were trembling, "Why did it explode again? It really cost me my life..."
"Shut up!!" Feng Gui was so annoyed with this nagging boss that he wanted to slap him to death.
Chen Ling immediately shut her mouth.
His face was full of panic and despair, but in his heart he looked at everything in front of him calmly, without the slightest surprise.
For others, everything that happens here is full of unknowns, but for Chen Ling, he clearly knows what will happen next... After all, he personally choreographed and directed all of this.
Chen Ling's [Fate Weaving] can bring his sense of faith as a choreographer to the extreme, thus affecting the surrounding environment. In other words, he can control everything on the "stage". Just like when he was in the theater, he arranged every lighting, sound effect, and timing of using props in advance.
As long as the "script" is written in advance, they will happen as Chen Ling prepares... Of course, these things must be logical.
For example, glass slag on the floor of the courtyard ignited the trash can under strong light; for example, the pressure of the backup gas tank increased due to high temperature, causing a secondary explosion... There was indeed broken glass in the courtyard of the inn, and there were indeed several in the kitchen. Gas tanks, these are the "props" that come with the stage. What Chen Ling can do is to arrange the props reasonably and create coincidences through the script to advance the plot.
The only thing he can't control is the "character".
Just like Chen Ling's previous work as a director, he can perfectly arrange the scenes on the stage, but he cannot perfectly arrange the characters. After all, they are played by actors, living individuals with thoughts, and they may forget the words or make mistakes in their movements. They are all beyond his control.
Therefore, Chen Ling can only use events to change the actors' actions, or guess their psychology... For example, using an explosion to attract three Fusheng-e members, or letting the three of them enter the kitchen to search.
In the final analysis, Chen Ling can control the development of scenes and events by preparing the "script" in advance, thereby affecting the fate of the "character";
The extent of the impact on the "character" depends on Chen Ling's ability as a director, the diversity of stage props, and his understanding of the "character"... the scene, lighting, sound effects, props, everything on the stage. Everything is like a thread held in Chen Ling's hand. By weaving them, Chen Ling can guide the fate of all "characters" to a certain extent.
This is Chen Ling’s [Fate Weaving].
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
In the flames of the ruins, Lin Xi staggered out of the ruins carrying a blackened umbrella handle.
The scale of this explosion was completely different from the previous dust explosions, and Lin Xi was too close. Even if he reacted quickly, he would not be able to escape. At this moment, his body was covered with scars and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Trap, another trap... Damn it, where is he?" Lin Xi's eyes were full of anger.
"Someone!!"
The innkeeper behind the three people suddenly spoke!
The three people suddenly looked in the direction of his finger, and saw an afterimage flying rapidly in the billowing smoke, surrounding the three people in the center, and a sharp sneer sounded.
[△The explosion shook off the clothes drying on the edge of the courtyard, and began to swirl in the sky in the strong wind. Covered by the thick smoke, it looked like a ghostly humanoid afterimage]
[△The strong wind surged through the exploded water tank, making a sharp sound, like a sneer that echoed in everyone's ears]
"It's him!!?"
"He is indeed here! He has been watching us!!"
"Damn it! We can't let him escape!! Come together!!"
When Lin Xi and the three of them saw the afterimage, their eyes burst out with brilliant light at the same time. They didn't care about the innkeeper who was still standing aside, and shot towards the sky with terrifying murderous intent!
