The use of the invisibility cloak is limited every day, Xu Fang cannot maintain the invisible state all the time. He needs a place to rest and hide, and this place cannot have cameras.

Even if he killed Guster, Xu Fang still cannot expose himself to surveillance.

Because there are other authors who know about Xu Fang's existence.

Guster is at most a "high-level monster". Although he is aware, he fears observation and is too arrogant, and his brain is not smart enough.

Authors are different. Anyone who can become a high-level author is not an easy opponent.

Ye Huai let Xu Fang see a glimpse of the iceberg of the author's world in advance, and made him more vigilant about authors.

However, the existence of life-saving props reduces the conflicts between authors, and increases the difficulty and risk of high-level authors hunting low-level authors. So that author will not attack Xu Fang because of Guster's death, if that person is not a fool.

What Xu Fang needs to do now is to remain silent, to conceal himself as much as possible, and even if he appears, he must not reveal his purpose, otherwise he may lose the initiative.

Whether it's an enemy or a friend depends on that author's attitude.

...

Xu Fang landed above the police station where Luo Bing was, and contacted him through the ear feed, "Luo Bing, find a place with no one, don't waste time."

"Finally here."

Luo Bing didn't hesitate and walked out of the police station. He looked around, searching for Xu Fang's figure.

"I'm invisible, you can't see me. You and Xiaoming find a quiet place to stay, I'll follow behind you."

"Okay."

Luo Bing nodded and speculated on Xu Fang's intentions.

(Looking like this, Gu Xi has something to discuss with me. But didn't she say it was only about the ghost? The ghost has been eliminated, she hasn't left, what else does she want from me?)

In the end, it should be about money, right? That is what he lacks the least. Gu Xi is someone he absolutely cannot offend, he just hopes that she won't ask for too much.

Of course, it could also be something other than money.

Having spent some time with Gu Xi, Luo Bing has a bit of an understanding about her. He speculated that Gu Xi might represent a certain mysterious force, and eliminating evil spirits is their mission. They stand on the side of humans, but it's inconvenient for them to show themselves, so Gu Xi approaching him is likely to request him to keep this matter a secret...

Luo Bing imagined various possibilities and finally smiled: no matter what, as long as the ghost is eliminated, everything is good!

"Now where should we go?" Xiaoming, who was following behind, asked.

"A hotel."

Although Luo Qingyuan had bought two apartments in Boston before, those were used for investment purposes and not for living. They weren't even decorated and were far away. Besides, Luo Bing didn't have a green card, so it was inconvenient for him to stay here for long. It would be better to find a five-star hotel.

"We're going to a hotel? Hey, I don't want to drink!"

"Idiot! I mean HOTEL, not drinking at this time."

Xiaoming frowned and felt unhappy, "I admit that I owe you a favor, but don't think that just because you saved me, you can talk to me like that."

"Have you paid me back enough for what you owe me?" Luo Bing stopped and coldly replied.

Xiaoming was taken aback and couldn't say anything. He fell silent in the end.

Seeing that Xiaoming lost his momentum, Luo Bing continued walking forward.

Luo Bing treated Gu Xi with respect, but towards Xiaoming, his attitude was completely different.

He didn't think he was being excessive at all, and instead felt that he was generous enough. After all, Xiaoming was the "source of all evil" who caused his mother's death, and he almost died because of him. If it were someone else, they might have already tried to kill Xiaoming.

Suddenly, Luo Bing thought of something and put his hand next to the ear feed, asking in a low voice, "By the way, Gu Xi, how should we deal with Luo Xiaoming? She has been following me all this time, and it's easy for her to expose your existence. Should I send her away?..."

Luo Bing made up his mind, if Gu Xi agrees, he will immediately abandon Xiaoming and go to the hotel alone. After all, Xiaoming has money on him, he won't starve being alone in the United States, at most he will be caught by the police and sent back to his country.

"Gu Xi?... Madam? Are you listening?" After a while, Gu Xi's voice finally came from the ear feed."Oh, alright then."

Xu Fang followed silently behind the two, first looking at Xiao Ming - she bit her lip lightly, looking restless, obviously, Luo Bing's words had hurt her a lot.

Xu Fang then looked at Luo Bing, his gaze gradually becoming "gentle", he finally understood why the doppelganger didn't like Luo Bing.

Suddenly, Luo Bing felt a chill in his heart, worse than being stared at by a vengeful ghost. He felt a little confused, thinking and thinking, feeling like he was dressed a bit too lightly...

Luo Bing first exchanged some change at the bank, and then began to look for a hotel.

There was more than one five-star hotel near Newbury Street, he used an app to search and chose one with the best conditions, but also relatively expensive.

Depending on the different specifications, the price per night for a single room ranged from $398 to $998. The $998 one was actually a small suite, complete with bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc. There were also common areas outside the rooms such as a bar and swimming pool.

Some groups of tourists would book a room like this together, as long as it did not exceed 4 people, the hotel allowed it. In this case, the average cost per person was less than 300 dollars, which was quite cost-effective for a five-star hotel.

Luo Bing booked two neighboring suites, followed the procedure of presenting his passport, paying a deposit, filling in a form, receiving a card, and then, led by the service staff, took the elevator to the top floor.

The female staff member introduced various services to Luo Bing with a polite smile, her attitude impeccable.

After being dropped off at his destination, Luo Bing handed a small amount of money to the staff member, who accepted it, bowed, and left.

"Your room is that one, swipe the card to enter." Luo Bing looked at Xiao Ming and pointed to his own next door, which was the room on the right. "You stay inside and don't bother me, if you need anything, call the front desk."

"Humph, I know." Xiao Ming entered her own room and forcefully closed the door.

Now the corridor was empty, leaving only Luo Bing. He opened the door to his room but didn't walk in, instead, he looked around for a while. Just as he was about to ask where Gu Xi was, he heard a voice from inside the room.

"Why are you standing there, come in already."

After confirming through the Devil's Eye that there were no cameras or similar devices in the room, Xu Fang released his invisibility and casually sat on a soft sofa.

Supporting his cheek with one hand, Xu Fang scrutinized Luo Bing.

"Lord Gu Xi, I have missed you so much! During this time you were invisible, it felt like an eternity!" After closing the door, Luo Bing looked at him excitedly, his eyes revealing his excitement.

Xu Fang still stared at him without speaking. He didn't remove his hood, so Luo Bing couldn't see his face or eyes clearly.

Xu Fang's silence made Luo Bing a little uneasy, and he smiled, "You vanquished the ghost, saved me, and also saved many lives. Besides gratitude, the only feeling I have left is admiration..."

"Stop, there's no need for such courtesies." Xu Fang interrupted the flattery.

"Luo Bing, first of all, I want to make it clear to you... I am not Gu Xi, Gu Xi sacrificed himself in the battle against the ghost." Xu Fang said calmly.

Luo Bing: ???

"Um... who are you then?"

"I am Gu Xi's fellow, although we look the same on the outside, we are not the same on the inside, so this is our first meeting."

Luo Bing didn't know whether to believe or not, he could only pretend to agree, "Then... how should I address you?"

"I didn't intend to tell you my real name, because I'm only here to silence you."

Luo Bing was taken aback, but quickly understood, "This joke isn't funny..."

"Do you think I'm kidding?" Xu Fang's voice gradually became colder.

Luo Bing smelled the aura of death, at this moment, he realized that this guy with the same voice as Gu Xi was indeed not Gu Xi. Although Gu Xi occasionally had some eccentric tastes, he never showed any intent to kill humans.

His heart raced uncontrollably, and his survival instinct made Luo Bing turn to run towards the door, but before he could even lift his leg, his shoulders sank and an overwhelming force pressed him down.

Luo Bing was instantly pinned to the ground, he tried to get up but couldn't."Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" Luo Bing was scared out of his wits and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

...I haven't even started yet, why are you screaming?

Xu Fang looked at the man in disbelief. He had only intended to scare him a little and punish him for bullying Xiao Ming, but he didn't expect Luo Bing's reaction to be so extreme that he even forgot to beg for mercy.

It's like playing a game where the opponent gives up before the game even starts. It's not fun when they don't give you a chance to dominate them.

Just then, there were two knocks on Luo Bing's door, and Xiao Ming's puzzled voice came from outside, "Luo Bing, what happened? Why did you make such a loud noise?"

Actually, the soundproofing of the hotel walls was decent, but Luo Bing's voice was too loud, so Xiao Ming could hear it clearly.

"Xiao Ming, help me! Help me, I'm dying!"

Xiao Ming realized the seriousness of the situation and asked anxiously, "What happened? Did those criminals come over?"

Xiao Ming was scared and wanted to run away, but she also worried about Luo Bing's safety. Just as she took out her phone to call the police, the door opened.

Xiao Ming couldn't help but take a step back and assume a defensive posture.

It was Xu Fang who opened the door.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ming, I was just playing a game with Luo Bing," Xu Fang said casually, "he's fine."

Xiao Ming was stunned and noticed that standing in front of her was a child in a black cloak... the cloak seemed to be wearing nothing, and his feet were bare, a far cry from the image of a vicious criminal.

Looking past Xu Fang and at Luo Bing behind him, she realized that he was unharmed aside from the tears and snot all over the floor, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Come in, I also have something to say to you," Xu Fang glanced at the position of Xiao Ming's pocket, reached out his hand, and led her into the room, closing the door again.

Luo Bing, who had snapped out of his fear, climbed up from the ground in a sorry state and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Luo Bing knew he had been played, but he dared not even be angry. In his eyes, Xu Fang was a hundred times scarier than a ghost. He began to miss Gu Xi and compared to Xu Fang, Gu Xi was like a gentle little angel. At least Gu Xi wouldn't maliciously frighten him like this.

Xu Fang waved his hand, causing the unsightly liquid on the floor to evaporate, and then pointed to the long sofa in the center of the living room. After Xiao Ming sat down, Xu Fang sat beside her.

"Who are you?" Xiao Ming looked at Xu Fang, feeling uncomfortable with their close proximity.

"I am Xu Fang."

"Xu Fang..." Xiao Ming repeated softly, suddenly feeling that the name sounded familiar.
