I'm not a theatre god

Water mist filled the air.

Lin Xi held an oil-paper umbrella, lightly rowed across the road, and hurried toward the Furong Bridge based on her memory.

"Zizzizi..." A faint sound of electricity sounded from the intercom.

"Lao Lu, Lao Lu! Are you okay? How is the situation now?"

Lin Xi counted the time and realized that Lao Lu should have started fighting with Chen Ling by now. He had fought against Chen Ling before and knew how strong this guy was. It would be difficult for Lao Lu to be his opponent in a single fight, so he became more and more anxious.

"Cough cough cough cough..." After a long time, Lao Lu's weak voice came over the intercom, "Damn... He is so powerful. He broke through my defense with one punch. If I hadn't been able to fly briefly, I'm afraid... He was already beaten to death."

This result was similar to what Lin Xi had guessed. He immediately asked:

"What about others?"

"Still nearby, he saw that I was alone and was trying to hunt me down!" Lao Lu lowered his voice slightly, "I'm hiding under the bridge of Furong Bridge now.

"Wait for me! I'll be there soon!"

Lin Xi then spoke, "Where is Maple Ghost? Where are you now?"

"I'm on my way there, but I'm a little far away from Furong Bridge, so I might be a little late." After a moment, Maple Ghost's voice sounded.

"good."

Lin Xi knew that he could not rely on Maple Ghost in a short period of time. The worst-case scenario was that he and the seriously injured Lao Lu faced Chen Ling alone. But even if it was two on one, Lin Xi still had no confidence in defeating Chen Ling...

"We can only get to Lao Lu as quickly as possible, and then make more preparations to fight at home to suppress that guy." Lin Xi thought to himself.

Under Lin Xi's full speed, he arrived at Furong Bridge in about a minute.

After approaching Furong Bridge, Lin Xi's movements became noticeably lighter, and he looked around vigilantly, fearing that Chen Ling would rush out of the surroundings at the next moment... Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet, and not even a single bird was seen, let alone Chen Ling.

Lin Xi held an umbrella and jumped down from the bridge, landing lightly under the bridge opening. With a glance, he saw Lao Lu leaning against the wall in embarrassment.

"Lao Lu, how are you?" Lin Xi immediately stepped forward to check on his status.

"...I can't die." Lao Lu covered his sunken chest with one hand, his face extremely pale, "But it should be only a matter of time before he comes here... My combat power is limited now, Lin Xi, are you sure?"

Lin Xi's face was extremely solemn. He looked in the direction outside the bridge hole and nodded slightly.

"As long as you give me enough time to prepare, not to mention defeating that guy, I can at least delay Maple Ghost until he arrives. By then we will be three against one, and our chances of winning will be greatly increased."

A hint of joy appeared on Lao Lu's face, "That's best. Start preparing quickly. I'll rest for a while..."

Lin Xi carried an oil-paper umbrella and walked back and forth under the bridge, as if observing the terrain here.

After a moment, he fixed his gaze on the bottom of the Furong Bridge above, his eyes flashing with brilliance. He took off the oil-paper umbrella from behind, copied dozens of blank oil-paper umbrellas with a flick, and began to draw completely different patterns on the umbrella surface at the same time. pattern.

Lin Xi held the painted oil-paper umbrella in his hand and lightly touched the surface with his fingertips. The pattern on the surface was covered with a layer of gray-white. When he waved upwards, these oil-paper umbrellas hung upside down at the bottom of the bridge one by one, seemingly completely in harmony with the surroundings. It blends into one and is completely indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Lao Lu sat by the wall and asked doubtfully:

"What are you doing?"

"Don't that guy like to set up traps? This time, I will let him have a taste of traps." Lin Xi said in a deep voice, "These umbrellas are hidden above our heads. Each handle has a different function. As long as we lead him to Here, even if he doesn’t die, he will lose his skin.”

"Oh~"

Lao Lu nodded, "Awesome."

"However, once this thing is activated, it is easy to be accidentally injured. You must also note the location of these umbrellas, otherwise you will easily be implicated." Lin Xi kindly reminded.

Lao Lu stared seriously at the oil-paper umbrella with its handle hidden, and nodded heavily.

"No problem, I will note it down...not a single one will be left behind."

…

the other side.

"Fenggui, I'm almost at Furong Bridge, where are you?"

Lao Lu's figure quickly shuttled along the bluestone road, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and speaking in a deep voice.

"Zizzizi..."

After a brief sound of electricity, Fenggui's voice came from the intercom, "Lao Lu? Lao Lu! Is it really you?"

Lao Lu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"I should have thought of it earlier...I just ran into you!"

"Meet me?"

"Yes, I turned a corner and saw you coming this way, so I stepped forward to talk to you, but it turned out that the madman was pretending to be a Shinto!" Feng Gui's voice was mixed with anger, "I was beaten by him I almost died in a sneak attack, but fortunately the terrain here is complicated, so I turned into a maple leaf and escaped..."

Lao Lu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, "I almost forgot... that guy can disguise himself as us!"

"But even if he can disguise his appearance, he can't disguise his walkie-talkie. As long as we keep in touch at all times, we can identify the disguise." Maple Ghost said weakly.

"You're right, where are you? I'm coming to find you now!"

"The alley east of Furong Bridge."

"Okay, here we go."

Lao Lu figured out the direction and went straight to the alley mentioned by Feng Gui.

"After you enter the alley, turn right. There is a relatively worn-out path. Keep going along it..." Fenggui's voice continued to guide Lao Lu on the intercom.

Lao Lu followed the instructions exactly. After walking for about half a minute, he saw a figure walking towards here in the distance.

At the end of the narrow road, Maple Ghost had a walkie-talkie inserted into his waist. As he walked, he frowned and looked around, as if he was searching for something seriously.

"After seeing a locked warehouse, I climbed in through the window and hid there." Maple Ghost's voice came out from the intercom at the right time.

Lao Lu suddenly stopped.

"Old Lu?" Feng Gui, who was walking from a distance, seemed to have some doubts in his eyes when he saw Old Lu, "Why are you here?"

Lao Lu's eyes scanned the figure in front of him up and down. Not only was he not injured, he didn't even have the slightest trace of fighting. His body was still spotless... The most important thing was that he did not use a walkie-talkie to keep in touch with him.

Lao Lu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he quietly hid the intercom behind his back and pressed the button.

"I saw you on the road."

he said in a low voice.

The maple ghost in the distance walked straight towards here.

"Lao Lu?" Feng Gui frowned unconsciously when he saw Lao Lu frozen in place.

Just as the distance between the two kept getting closer, Fenggui's anxious voice suddenly sounded on Lao Lu's walkie-talkie:

"Lao Lu, be careful! That's not me!!"

A murderous intent flashed in Lao Lu's eyes, and he attacked the Maple Ghost in front of him without hesitation!
