I'm not a theatre god

Lin Xi held up the charred umbrella handle in his hand, and a layer of oil paper automatically grew back on its surface, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"Rose Grove."

Lin Xi murmured, and hundreds of bright red roses bloomed on the umbrella, like fiery red flowers blooming in the ruins, suddenly breaking the confinement of the umbrella, and countless petals intertwined into a red dragon, roaring towards the afterimage in the sky!

Lao Lu raised his hands, and a dense swarm of tiny ants gathered behind him, as if a pair of black wings sprouted out of thin air. With a slight wave, the whole person leaped into the air!

As for the Maple Ghost standing at the end, he just snorted coldly, and his body instantly turned into hundreds of maple leaves and disappeared from the place.

These maple leaves rose with the wind, surrounding the red dragon in Linxi, like a dark yellow hurricane rolling into the sky, going to seal the escape path of the afterimage!

Lin Xi was the main attacker, Lao Lu was in close combat, and Fenggui was intercepting. Although it was the first time for the three of them to cooperate, they had a tacit understanding of each other. They seemed to have made up their minds to keep Chen Ling here... After all, this guy's methods were too weird. I missed this opportunity, and I don’t know how long I will delay trying to catch him again.

This miraculous scene fell in the eyes of other residents, and their eyes widened!

"Sure enough! They are the rumored messengers of the gods!"

"[The Circle] and the divine messengers all appeared, and three of them appeared in one breath... What happened to our Liu Town?"

"It should be to catch the madman who was killing people in the theater troupe, right? I heard that the madman is very powerful."

"It's such a blessing to see the rumored messenger of the gods taking action..."

"That madman is dead."

"..."

While everyone else was whispering, the four people in Room 301 walked out slowly and stood in a row in the corridor, looking like curious spectators.

But after they saw the situation on the battlefield, their expressions were a little subtle...

"Wow, you guys are so awesome." The innkeeper stood beside Lin Xi and couldn't help but sigh,

"Now the person who bombed my room must be unable to fly, right?"

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

Lin Xi was holding an oil-paper umbrella, concentrating on controlling the red dragon to chase the afterimage in the thick smoke, without any intention of answering.

The innkeeper still kept saying:

"Is there any danger if I stand with you?"

"If he wants to kill you, won't it implicate me? You will protect me, right?"

"By the way, after catching him, can I ask him to pay me the cost of repairing the room?"

"..."

"Leave me alone!" Lin Xi couldn't help but turned around and cursed, "Didn't you see that I was busy?!"

The innkeeper kept his mouth shut silently.

As the strong wind gradually weakened, the movement speed of the afterimage seemed to gradually decrease, and it was far less flexible than before.

The red dragon made of intertwined roses roared out of the thick smoke, riding the strong wind to bite the afterimage in one bite. At the same time, Lin Xi's eyes lit up.

"Bite it!"

"Really?" The innkeeper was the first to applaud, "Awesome!"

Although other onlookers couldn't see clearly what happened, when they saw the shadow being bitten by the red dragon, joy appeared on their faces, and they clapped along with Chen Ling.

Lao Lu waved his black wings and hovered next to the red dragon. The maple ghost on the side saw that Lin Xi had captured the target and landed steadily on the top of the nearby building;

The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and Lao Lu was slightly startled when he saw what was in the red dragon's mouth.

"Wait, this is..."

Lao Lu pulled the thing out of the red dragon's mouth. The next moment, his face looked extremely ugly!

A bright red bellyband for adults was lying quietly in his palm. There was even a carp blowing bubbles embroidered on it... However, the bellyband seemed to have been smoked for a long time, and it was completely black in his hand. It was red and looked inexplicably funny.

The smile on Lin Xi's face suddenly solidified.

The applause in the hands of passers-by A, B, B and D who were watching stopped suddenly... They stared blankly at the bellyband, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"Huh." The innkeeper said in confusion, "Why is it a bellyband?"

As soon as these words came out, the inn fell into a dead silence.

Lin Xi's expression changed one after another. He seemed to have remembered something and roared in a low voice:

"Damn...that guy has the ability to replace items. Last time he replaced my umbrella with a branch! He is playing tricks on us!!"

The faces of Lao Lu and Feng Gui were so gloomy that they could shed tears. They took action with such great fanfare, and finally grabbed a bellyband in front of everyone... Thinking that Chen Ling might be hiding around, watching their actions in a joking way. The farce suddenly made everyone very angry, and they felt a rage burning in their chests!

"court death……"

"He has teased us over and over again. Do you really think we can't do anything to him??"

"He must not have gone far yet!! Let's look for him separately!"

"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I have to find him!!"

Lin Xi and the others were completely irritated. They planned to follow the clues and use the simplest method to find Chen Ling, but they didn't expect to fall into Chen Ling's trap again and again, and were disgraced... This also shows that Chen Ling is indeed They have been secretly monitoring them, they are definitely not far from here!

Burning with anger, the three of them directly chose the simplest and crudest method. Anyway, they had walkie-talkies to communicate. Once anyone discovered Chen Ling's traces, they could immediately call the other two for support!

Three figures rushed out of the thick smoke one after another and left the inn, leaving only the innkeeper standing alone in the yard, no one paying attention.

He shook his head, sighed, and walked to the lounge alone.

In the thick smoke, his figure looked particularly lonely, like a middle-aged man who had lost everything, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

Click——

As he locked the door to the lounge, the corners of Chen Ling's mouth raised slightly.

At this moment, the inn has completely lifted its surveillance, and all the ants have been taken away by Lao Lu... Under Chen Ling's misleading, they completely cleared the suspicion of everyone in the inn. After all, before the explosion, everyone was in the ant. under surveillance.

As long as Chen Ling wants to, he can continue to play the role of the innkeeper. Until the [circle] disappears, no one will doubt him anymore;

But he doesn't plan to hide like this forever.

His feint shot just now had easily deceived the three of them into using their ultimate moves. Chen Ling had a basic understanding of their respective strengths and skills. If Fu Sheng Hui wanted to catch a turtle in the jar, Chen Ling would make them pay the price.

It’s time to reverse the identities of prey and hunter.

With the fingertips tearing off his chin, a piece of face floated into nothingness. Chen Ling returned to her original appearance, wearing a bright red opera robe. She leaped lightly from the window onto the narrow road and walked slowly away. go.

At the same time, the account book on the inn counter was blown by the breeze and gently turned to the next page...

On that page, there's just a simple line of characters:
