Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You are becoming more and more useless. You bother me with every little thing. Do you think it's easy for me? It's rare to find something interesting and you keep disturbing me!"

The ghost still looked unhappy and kept talking.

Lin Yi was also dumbfounded. How much time did you spend studying this? Does it always bother you? Just this once, okay?

Also, can being almost killed be considered a small matter? How do you feel about this, old man?

"I don't see any foreign objects in this room that can assist in locking! Maybe there was originally one, but maybe it was completely destroyed by that arrow."

Guidong complained a few words and vented his dissatisfaction with the interruption of his research, and then began to help Lin Yi search for it. However, after initial observation, he did not find anything different.

"Destroyed? In other words, the locked props were just placed where I was meditating? It's not that coincidental, right?"

Lin Yi felt that this inference was a bit unreliable!

He was not meditating on the bed or on a chair, but sitting cross-legged on the ground to deduce the third level of Thunder Escape Technique!

It would be a bit incredible if the other party could even calculate this!

However, Lin Yi still felt it was a pity that the body of the thunder eel was destroyed together.

Although everything that should be studied has been studied, it is a rare thunder and lightning sea beast after all. Fortunately, the inner elixir is still stored in the jade pendant space, otherwise it would really be a big loss.

"It's unlikely to be such a coincidence, so the only explanation is that the killer has the ability to lock on long-distance targets!"

The ghost pondered for a moment and then opened his mouth.

"This skill may be achieved through the aura on the items you have used, or it may be achieved through keen senses or spiritual consciousness. Because the rooms in this inn are restricted, the possibility of divine consciousness is very low. , and generally speaking, if the consciousness of the sea-splitting stage wants to lock you, we will inevitably find it, so I prefer that the other party uses something on you to lock it."

The analysis of the ghost is clear and logical. Sure enough, ginger is still hotter than old!

It's not that Lin Yi couldn't deduce these truths, but when it comes to himself, it's easy to get dark under the light.

"After listening to what Senior Ghost said, I also think that the other party may be using the items I have used to lock my aura. After all, I have used many items. It is not difficult to find one or two! So, that If the killer wants to kill me, can he do it at any time?"

Lin Yi felt a headache just thinking about it. With such an opponent hiding in the dark, ready to attack you anytime and anywhere, your mood would never get better no matter what.

"Isn't it possible that he will attack you at any time now? As soon as you relax a little, he will take action! But the only thing I am a little confused about is, how on earth did he determine that you were in a relaxed state and exposed your flaws?"

The ghost suddenly changed the topic and asked a new question.

Lin Yi was stunned. Yes, locking the position can be explained, but how did the opponent determine the timing of the attack?

When you can't determine the location, you can also sense the real-time status of the target person, right?

Lin Yi studied the Thunder Eel for a while today. Normally, it would be impossible for him to let his guard down like this.

"Senior Ghost, what do you think?"

Lin Yi suddenly felt that this matter was indeed a bit strange. Could it be that all his previous inferences were wrong?

"It's hard to say! Maybe people have this ability. When determining your location, they can also determine your status. Or maybe the killer is not far away at all, but is observing your movements in the nearest place, the inn room. Although there are restrictions, such simple restrictions have very limited effect on the masters."

The ghost couldn't come up with an accurate conclusion, but it raised another possibility.

An idea flashed in Lin Yi's mind, and he finally understood why he felt weird!

Perhaps as Gui Dongzi said, the killer simply launched a sneak attack from close range. He had always thought that those who used bows and arrows would definitely launch sniper attacks from a distance, so that it would be easier to escape.

After the attack, both Lin Yi himself and the little spirit beast responsible for tracking focused on the distance, instead ignoring the possible killer around him!

Lin Yi didn't see clearly the angle and direction of the arrow. He just calculated based on experience that the killer should be far away, so he fell into a blind spot in judging the distance.

"Senior Ghost, maybe the killer is really nearby. Let's search carefully again!"

Lin Yi remained calm on his face, but in his heart he asked the ghost to cooperate with him to search for the killer again.

Regardless of whether this guy came from the hidden killing sect, his hiding skills are indeed good!

Although Lin Yi's spiritual sense could not find any clues, with the help of ghosts, the effect was completely different!

I believe that as long as he is not a super strong person like Splitting the Sea and Breaking the Sky, he should not be able to avoid the joint investigation of the two.

If you really have the strength to split the sea and break the sky, there is no need to hide in the dark, just kill Lin Yi directly!

Guidong was still very concerned about Lin Yi's safety, so without saying a word, he started to join forces with Lin Yi to search for the killer.

At the same time, Lin Yi also gathered all the small spiritual beasts on the outside for defense, forming a closed net. Once the opponent is discovered, he can directly make him unable to go to the sky or the earth!

In just a few breaths, Lin Yi and Guidong discovered a somewhat unusual place!

This place is located in the direction of the arrow, not far from Lin Yi's room and diagonally upward, only twenty or thirty feet away. It is the best position to observe Lin Yi's room from a high position.

In this place, there is still a trace of almost imperceptible zhenqi fluctuation, which is exactly the same as the hole left by the arrow!

"Yes, it should be right here! That guy is so brave, he dares to attack me at such a close distance?!"

Lin Yi smiled coldly, feeling extremely unhappy. Although he was sure that the killer launched the attack at close range, he still could not find any trace of the killer.

One hit could not hit the target, but due to misjudgment, neither Lin Yi nor the little spirit beast paid special attention to the nearby range, thus giving the other party a chance to escape calmly.

"Boy Lin Yi, you really have encountered a troublesome opponent this time!"

The ghost also stopped joking and became a little serious:

"If you guessed it right, the first time he sneak attacked you, he was indeed at a relatively long distance! But this time it became a close attack. You can actually see it from the power of the two arrows. First The penetration was extremely strong, but this time, it is even more explosive!"
