Ambush
Room 309.
Seeing clearly this door plate, Lin Xi's eyes slightly narrowed.
He silently reached his hand to his back, grabbing the umbrella handle of the Oiled Paper Umbrella, seemingly the next moment then prepared to draw it out.
Old Lu on the side seeing this, also one hand reached into the sleeve, taking out a Folding Fan. Only Maple Ghost standing at the very back, still expressionlessly stood there, seemingly having no meaning to make a move.
Lin Xi's hand slowly gripped the door handle. After taking a deep breath, forcefully pushing!
Rip——!
The room door was instantly pushed open by Lin Xi. The next moment, a massive amount of flour then was swept up by the airflow, instantly bumping onto his face!
At the same time, at the bottom of the room door a fine needle at high speed brushed past the ground surface, bursting out traces of sparks. Seeing this scene, the rear Maple Ghost's pupils suddenly contracted!
Boom——!!!
The sparks ignited the dust fluttering full in the room. Fierce fire distorted the air rumblingly exploding open, instantly submerging the three people's figures!
...
An earth-shattering loud sound sounded from not far away. Even the Inn's floor and wall bodies were all slightly swaying.
All the guests were startled awake from sweet dreams. Blankly walking out of the rooms. Through the windows seeing the blasted open corridor not far away, as well as the thick smoke rolling out from within. In their eyes full of shock.
"What matter happened?"
"Seemingly something exploded..."
"Heavens, no one is injured right?"
"..."
The crowd's discussion sounds sounded on the corridor. Among them four figures also watching the bustle gathered to the window edge, curiously sizing up the direction of the explosion.
The Innkeeper hurriedly ran up the third floor, seeing the thick smoke rolling out turning pale with fright!
"This... this..."
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
A burst of violent coughing sounds sounded from the thick smoke.
Three figures somewhat wretchedly walked out from the black smoke. The Oiled Paper Umbrella in Lin Xi's hands was already scorched black. Old Lu's hair was also burned away not little. As for Maple Ghost, appearance looked like didn't suffer much injury, but the palms in the sleeves were also already a patch of pitch-black.
They saw the crowd on the corridor blankly looking towards here. Faces exactly like having eaten a fly generally ugly.
"Damn it... we were played! He guessed we were coming??" Lin Xi in a deep voice opened his mouth.
"Didn't you say, that person is a reckless man with extreme personality?" Old Lu smoothed his few not many strands of hair, irritably saying, "Reckless man, can predict our actions, and can set up an explosion trap in advance??"
"Ordinary people after discovering the 【Enclosure Circle】's existence, all would due to having nowhere to flee feel panic-stricken and at a loss what to do, subconsciously looking for a place to hide themselves... But he not only didn't hide, instead in such a short time arranged well counterattack means. He from the very beginning didn't plan to be prey." Maple Ghost's voice was bone-chillingly cold,
"I dare guarantee, he right now definitely is hiding nearby, watching us step into the trap!"
Lin Xi's gaze immediately swept across the surroundings. But right now just in the Inn, surrounding watching them then had over ten people. And on the Alleyway outside the Inn, also had more and more people following the sound coming over, pointing and talking towards this direction.
"This place is too easy to hide people. Moreover if he truly is Path of the Actor, very likely changed face mixing into the crowd..."
"What to do next? Catch them all up?"
"That way the matter then would be caused too big... Moreover even if catching them up, one by one identifying their identities also needs time. Not to mention we fundamentally aren't sure whether he is in the crowd, perhaps is in another place secretly attentively looking at here."
The few people while exchanging in low voices. The crowds gathering around became more and more. The Innkeeper walking forward with a pale face. Seeing the room blasted scorched black behind, hands all trembled up.
"You all... you all this is doing what ah? My this doing a bit of small business is also not easy, this..."
Lin Xi seeing the boss came, in a deep voice asking, "I ask you, after that person checked in, has he come out?"
"No ah, all along hasn't come out."
The three people looked at each other one glance. Old Lu secretly gave them a look, "Understood, let's leave first."
The three people covered in wretchedness walked down the stairs. Amidst the many guests' doubtful discussion sounds, straightly left the Inn.
Waiting until they walked out of the Inn's main door. Old Lu then both eyes slightly narrowed. The palm under the sleeve hem lightly flipped. Dense black small dots converged into a turbulent flow, falling on the ground from the sleeve, then spreading out towards all directions.
If looking fixedly, then can see clearly these black small dots, actually are countless fine and small black ants. The ants' bodies like they were outlined out by extremely fine soft brushes, small and precise, vivid and lifelike,
Along with Old Lu's waving hand, the large part of these ant swarms drilled into the Inn inside. Still had a small part, then radiating out towards the surrounding Alleyways.
"Have certainty?" Lin Xi asked.
"We left under the crowd's attentive gaze, if he is also among them, should lower guard." Old Lu turned head glancing at the Inn's outline in the misty rain, "I have already stared dead at here. If there is anyone whose whereabouts are bizarre, first time then can lock onto him."
"Truly a convenient skill."
"Still okay, although the quantity spread out is many, but the movement range is extremely limited. I cannot leave within two hundred meters range from them."
Lin Xi's gaze swept across the surroundings, locking onto a teahouse not far away, "Since it's like this, we go wait there... if locked onto him, also can first time make a move to intercept."
"Good."
...
The Innkeeper stood at the doorway of the blasted destroyed room. Looking inside for a moment, sighing a breath with a face full of heartache.
"Seemingly is dust explosion, I see the things inside are all blasted gone."
"Yes ah, this time repairing anew has to spend not little money, exactly who were those three people just now?"
"Don't know, however looking like not Police Officers."
"Have you all heard? Willow Town right now is covered by the 【Enclosure Circle】. Can only enter cannot exit. Should be investigating some important matter. Just now those three could they be..."
"Ah?!! Don't say, I saw that person carrying an Oiled Paper Umbrella on his back was exactly strange. Perhaps might really be!"
"Then our this also is considered broadened our horizons..."
"Just that the boss is pitiful ah. A perfectly good room was blasted, simply is an unexpected disaster."
"Yes ah, this compensation all don't know who to look for to compensate..."
"..."
Amidst the watching the bustle crowd's whispers. The Innkeeper dejectedly walked down the stairs. After recording a few strokes on the notebook on the counter, turning around walking into the rest room inside. Like wanting to be quiet by himself for a while.
Along with the room door closing. The loneliness in his eyes disappeared unseen. Replacing it, was a pair of refined light flashing eyes...
He raised hand tearing on the chin. A facial skin fluttered scattering in the air.
"Altogether three people, all are Third Tier. If no accidents, this should be all their manpower coming to arrest me... Didn't alarm Fourth Order, this instead is a good news.
What a pity that Umbrella Painter opened the umbrella too fast, protecting the two people behind, failing to test out their skills."
Chen Ling recalled everything seen just now. Seemingly somewhat disappointed.
