Chapter 074: What Do You Want to Do to My Baby?

[Name: Serpent Eye Orb]

[Category: Weird Object]

[Quality: Blue]

[Ability: After use, it will cause fear in the target, making them fall into a fearful illusion. The duration, intensity, and number of targets affected will depend on the user's mental strength.]

[Usage Requirement: The user's mental strength must be at least 18.]

[Note 1: The item can be used even if the mental strength is insufficient, but it will greatly consume mental energy, especially when facing higher levels of weird contamination.]

[Note 2: If worn on the forehead, it will reduce the mental energy consumption and lower the mental strength requirement. The fear deterrent effect will also be enhanced.]

[Special Reminder: This item is a weird object. Every time a weird object is used, it will bring about contamination and erosion. Players are advised to use it with caution.]

"Blue item, weird object."

At first, I thought this orb was strange, so it was the right decision to take it with me.

"That black powder is from a game player,"

"Wearing it on the forehead is because their mental strength doesn't meet the requirements for using the weird object."

Lin Ye looked at the weird object in his hand and decided to test it tomorrow. Afterward, he put the orb into his backpack.

The player's backpack is probably the safest place.

After tidying up the desk, Lin Ye stretched his muscles and bones to relax. Finally, he took off his clothes, turned off the lights, and rested.

The night was deep, and the room was quiet, with the faint sound of steady breathing.

Time passed.

Lin Ye was woken up by the alarm clock.

Six o'clock.

He endured his sleepiness, got out of bed, and changed into his sportswear.

"Exercise continues."

After a half-hour jog, Lin Ye returned to his room, washed up, and ate the breakfast he had bought from the convenience store.

Once prepared, he left the apartment and went downstairs.

Today, he was going to the fire department and the police station to gather more information about the Chiba Train Station fire.

"If someone from above is there, this information will be relatively easy to obtain."

Without the time stop ability, it would have been hard for him to acquire relevant information silently.

However, considering that the information might be strictly sealed, Lin Ye had prepared himself for the possibility of finding nothing.

More than half an hour later, Lin Ye arrived near the fire station. He found a place to change clothes, put on a hat and mask, and successfully infiltrated the fire station using the time stop ability.

He found the station's area map and headed for the document archive room.

The archive room door was locked.

"Keys?"

Lin Ye went straight to the head's office. After some effort, he successfully obtained the keys.

Entering the archive room, Lin Ye looked at the rows of shelves and finally found the records of the "April 8th Chiba Station Fire Incident."

Click...

Click...

Lin Ye took photos, but he was in the fire station's restroom.

Since the phone's camera function wouldn't work during the time stop, he took the documents out of the archive room and went to the nearest restroom to take the pictures.

It was a little troublesome, but it was safer.

"Who took the keys to our station? The chief can't find them and is looking everywhere."

"No, weren't the keys always in the chief's office?"

"If they were in the office, he wouldn't be asking you guys here. Ask the people nearby."

"By the way, have you seen any suspicious people?"

"No."

...

In the restroom, several firefighters were talking.

Lin Ye knew that if he had stayed in the archive room, the oddities in the room would have been noticed. Though it wasn't a big deal, with the time stop, he wouldn't have been exposed or caught, but Lin Ye wanted to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

Quietly come, quietly go, and no one would notice.

A few minutes later, Lin Ye returned the documents to the archive room and placed the keys into the trash can in the office he had obtained them from.

When the time stop ended again, Lin Ye's figure had already appeared in an alley 200 meters away from the fire station.

"Next is the police station."

Compared to the fire station, the police station used an electronic lock for the archive room.

Lin Ye just needed to wait for the right moment, for someone to enter the archive room, and then he could obtain the documents he wanted.

After a few hours, he finally gathered the information.

He found a nearby restaurant, ordered a pork cutlet set, and read the documents while having lunch.

The Chiba Station fire incident's initial fire source was the ramen shop inside the station. The cause was improper operation, which led to a kitchen fire and a gas explosion, resulting in one death and three injuries. Later, one critically injured person died after unsuccessful rescue attempts.

"Takashi Hase was the manager of the ramen shop. His colleagues clearly stated he was in poor condition, with symptoms like fever and coughing."

"The most severely burned was Koichi Honda, a chef at the ramen shop, who has since died."

That was the strange being that had burned earlier.

The other two injured were customers who had been caught in the explosion and couldn't escape in time.

However, Lin Ye found an interview record of the people present at the scene.

Before the explosion, someone had clearly heard arguing and some unusual, strange sounds.

As for the rest of the information, there wasn't much of note.

"Sir, would you like a refill?"

While deep in thought, a young female waitress came up to Lin Ye with a smile, holding a jug of lemonade.

"Thank you, it's fine."

The waitress poured the water, and the cup was soon full.

"If you need anything, just call me."

"Okay."

Lin Ye sat for a few more minutes before paying the bill and leaving the restaurant.

The incident report itself didn't seem overly complicated, but the strange sounds at the end still caught Lin Ye's attention.

It was unusual and needed further confirmation.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

"Woof, woof, woof..."

While walking on the street, Lin Ye suddenly heard a series of dog barks ahead.

A large, fat dog seemed to be angrily barking at a little girl, who trembled and fell to the ground.

"This is... a Tosa Inu dog!"

The owner of the dog didn't even try to control it? Tosa Inu dogs are fighting dogs, fierce and powerful, with extremely high aggression. Once they enter a combat state, they fight to the death.

Lin Ye quickly walked over.

"Hey..."

He shouted at the Tosa Inu dog.

"Arf arf, woof woof woof..."

The dog glared at him, even attempting to charge and bite.

The next second,

"Arf arf oh..."

It let out a whimper of fear, its fierce expression immediately drooping, and its large body slumped to the ground, trembling.

The 'Serpent Eye Orb' worked very well; he had been struggling to find a suitable test subject, and this Tosa Inu dog was just perfect.

"Hey, what are you doing? What did you do to my baby?"

At that moment, a woman's voice came from behind.
