Chapter 4

Lin Ye pulled Hoshino Ai and quickly moved away, shielding the girl in front of him.

At this time, Hoshino Ai was shocked.

What did she see, what did she just see?

The world was imprisoned and stopped rotating, the man moved freely in that stopped world, beating the black-clad man and setting things up, while to her, he was kneading and touching, taking advantage of her.

She wanted to move, wanted to avoid, but had no way at all.

Her body completely refused to listen to her.

Until the world returned to normal.

Hoshino Ai swallowed, her large eyes filled with a look of shock.

In her field of vision, there was only the back of the man in front of her.

The male fan who confessed to her but was rejected by her is a superpower user, and it seems to be a Time Stop superpower user; he must have obtained this magical power from the Eerie Game!

Hoshino Ai couldn't help but feel worried and afraid, yet couldn't help but be curious.

A living, super-powerful Eerie player!

A person from the legends!

Lin Ye noticed the girl's terror from the corner of his eye.

It's normal for a young girl to be afraid and terrified when encountering a malicious fan attack and a bloody incident.

"Woo, ah ah ah..."

The smell of blood permeated, and red liquid flowed continuously from the man's body.

"Wh, why... did... it... become like this..."

"I, I still wanted to be with Ai..."

He supported himself with one hand and reached toward Hoshino Ai, seeming to want to grab this panicked girl.

"Ah ah..."

Finally, it turned into a roar of unwilling shouting.

The man couldn't catch his breath, lay on the ground, and could no longer move.

Dead.

At this moment, Hoshino Ai realized that the black-clad man who attacked was dead; she hugged herself tightly, her entire brain still in a state of chaos, her body trembling slightly.

Lin Ye was currently thinking about the limits of Time Stop; the crisis had been resolved, so why not start testing the limits of Time Stop—the time limit, the range limit.

Thinking of this, he began to do it.

"Time Stop activated."

The world once again fell into a state of stagnation, and Lin Ye began to count his own heartbeats to calculate the elapsed time.

At the same time, he also walked out of the scene to observe the range of Time Stop; within the visual range, everything had fallen into a state of stop.

Suddenly, at one point, Lin Ye felt a clear change in his heartbeat; it had become faster.

"Five minutes of time."

He noted this time point. But he didn't stop Time Stop, continuing to calculate the time; after some time, he felt a strong sense of exhaustion, roughly around ten minutes.

Lin Ye felt that breathing was also becoming somewhat difficult.

Time Stop still hadn't stopped; it seemed that as long as he was willing, Time Stop would continue to be maintained.

However, Lin Ye knew that even if Time Stop had an infinite duration, his body was bearing a certain load; once it was too long, his body wouldn't be able to handle it and would collapse.

"Hoo,"

At roughly twelve or thirteen minutes, Lin Ye, who had returned to the concert scene, stopped Time Stop.

"Five minutes is the safest, ten minutes is the allowable range, exceeding this time requires considering the body's endurance."

"Using Time Stop at a high frequency will cause the load on the body and spirit to accumulate, requiring a period of rest."

"But I exercise to increase my body, I don't know if that can increase the duration of Time Stop."

Is this the drawback of Time Stop? Lin Ye wasn't sure.

But Lin Ye knew that any ability had its limits and should also come with a price.

"The most important point is whether my lifespan will elapse while in the Time Stop state."

Everything except him had fallen into the Time Stop state, but he hadn't; was his life still elapsing?

Lin Ye looked at his fingers, "Ten minutes of time is also difficult to judge the body's lifespan and the situation of its elapsing by using wound healing."

He thought about it and didn't think of a suitable experimental method for the time being.

And Hoshino Ai had once again witnessed the world falling into a state of stagnation; that man used Time Stop, causing the whole world to stop, but this time he didn't kill anyone, nor did he take advantage of the girl, but left the scene and returned after roughly ten minutes, as if he were observing and testing something.

And she remained unable to move or say anything the whole time, only able to watch the only figure in front of her field of vision that could move freely.

Who exactly is he, what kind of person is he?

Question after question kept emerging in Hoshino Ai's heart.

Her pair of star-purple eyes were full of that man's figure.

……

……

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived, the body was transported away, and the manager, Saitou, seemed to still be in a state of shock, not yet having woken up; he was sent to the hospital.

And the parties involved, Lin Ye and Hoshino Ai, were taken back to the nearest police station to accept questioning by the officers.

About half an hour later,

The questioning and statement recording ended.

The two were sent out of the police station.

At this time,

Hoshino Ai was still in a state of unstable panic; she hugged the coat she was wearing tightly, and her mental state wasn't very good.

"Can you send me to the nearest hotel? It's about two hundred meters away, I remember there's a hotel."

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about Lin Ye hurting her, but once she thought of the other party's unreasonable Time Stop superpower, Hoshino Ai knew she had thought too much.

If the other party really had other ideas and ill intentions, she couldn't refuse at all; she could even be played until broken, and she would have no way to do anything.

In many anime, the male lead obtains the Time Stop ability, and don't the girls all suffer and get played until broken? She understood that if this man with the Time Stop ability wanted to play with her, she wouldn't end up any better.

Therefore, he has a bottom line and principles, and can be trusted.

Late at night, there wasn't a sliver of moonlight, and the stars' embellishment and the lights on both sides of the street didn't have much brightness.

Lin Ye agreed.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder.

Don't know when,

The fog became increasingly thick.

The surroundings became even quieter, there wasn't even the sound of insects, and as the night wind blew, there was a trace of chill.

Soon,

A building in the distance was lit up, and the red and purple light became the only light in the dark night.

Lin Ye brought Hoshino Ai and walked straight toward it.

When he saw the sign hanging on the building clearly, he was stunned.

Koi no Kokoro Love Hotel.

Koi no Kokoro Love Hotel?

Hoshino Ai wants him to send her to a love hotel, this is implying something, right!

Are two-dimensional female leads this open and proactive?

Is this going to be a case of offering herself?

Tonight, this is going to be a wild ride.

And at this time,

Hoshino Ai looked at this hotel, seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Ding!"

"Welcome to Koi no Kokoro Love Hotel."
