Chapter 47

Lin Ye found a burger shop to eat.

And while dining, the TV screen was playing a piece of news.

"The Chiba Fire Department officially announced the specific situation of the Chiba Station fire accident."

"The fire directly caused one death and three serious injuries, one of whom died after rescue failed. The remaining seriously injured personnel are still being rescued at Chiba Municipal Hospital."

Following the fire department, it was the turn of the relevant person in charge of the train company to bow and apologize at the press conference.

Several images flashed by, but one person caught Lin Ye's attention.

That was... the person being rescued.

That pair of eyes couldn't help but make him connect it with the strange entity that was possessed last night.

He decided to go to the hospital to take a look; perhaps there really was some connection between the two.

Chiba Municipal Hospital.

After finishing dinner, Lin Ye changed his clothes, put on a face mask, and arrived at the hospital.

After a simple inquiry, he obtained the location and basic condition of the critically injured personnel; as of now, neither of the two had escaped life-threatening danger.

[Time Stop]

With the help of his Time Stop superpower, Lin Ye successfully entered the ICU resuscitation room and saw the target personnel.

The critically injured patient, wrapped in bandages, was closing their eyes, with intravenous tubes inserted into their body and an oxygen mask on their face to assist breathing.

The other person was slightly better off, though their condition was still poor.

Lin Ye recalled the information and left the ICU silently.

He found the medical records.

Honda Koichi.

35 years old.

On the night of April 8th at 9:38 PM, sudden symptoms occurred: cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, severe coma, and shock. After ten minutes of resuscitation, the patient was declared dead.

The time caught Lin Ye’s attention.

It was not yet 9:30 when he sent Tachibana Hinata away, and it took about six minutes to reach the street where the anomaly appeared.

"If the gaze was just a coincidence, then this timing also aligning makes the possibility of it being a coincidence very small."

Lin Ye boldly suspected that the main body of the possessing anomaly from last night was this deceased person named 'Honda Koichi'.

If that were the case, would the other two also turn into new anomalies?

Lin Ye made a mental note of this.

There was still one more injured person at Chiba Municipal Hospital that needed to be checked on.

The man who had been possessed by the anomaly.

After the possessing monster was eliminated, he had survived thanks to Lin Ye’s report, and now he might have regained consciousness.

He wanted to know if this person had any memories from the period of possession.

A few minutes later.

Using Time Stop once again to freeze the world, Lin Ye arrived at the special floor.

With dedicated personnel guarding it, it was easy for him to determine the man's location.

The man was wearing a blue hospital gown, sitting with his back against the bed watching TV, looking to be in decent condition. Lin Ye did not enter to converse with the man; he simply searched and found the inquiry notes recorded by the official personnel.

Name: Hirano Kenji.

Age: 28 years old.

Status: Intermittent headaches, no memory of events during the possession, felt hazy like a dream, the last conscious moment was on the way back to the apartment by train.

Judgment: Suspected to have encountered an anomaly during the train ride and was successfully possessed.

There wasn't much information.

But it was enough. Lin Ye’s purpose in coming here was to confirm 'whether the man had memories during the possession,' and this report record had already given him the answer.

He put it back in its original place and left directly. It wasn't until he returned to the original spot in the hallway where he had activated 'Time Stop' that he released it, letting everything return to normal.

Noisy sounds arose.

Patients were walking slowly in the hallway, and several nurses were walking quickly, as if something important had happened.

Lin Ye took the elevator downstairs and left the hospital.

It was now six o'clock.

The sky had already darkened.

Lin Ye walked alone on the wide street, a breeze blowing, bringing a hint of chill.

"Ring ring..."

His phone rang.

Lin Ye saw it was Hoshino Ai.

"Good evening."

"Good evening! Lin Ye-kun, how was it today? Was going back to school interesting?"

She was full of interest in Lin Ye’s high school life.

To be honest, she occasionally wanted to study too.

"High school life is great! It's all youthful and beautiful JK girls; just looking at them is pleasing to the eye, making me feel at least ten years younger."

"Hahaha, ten years younger, then you’d only be six or seven years old."

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and the call ended.

As an idol, Hoshino Ai also began to return to her daily life. Most of her days were spent practicing dancing and singing, and besides that, she had also started specialized training under Lin Ye’s suggestion.

"Sigh!"

"If only Lin Ye-kun were attending high school in Tokyo."

Although Chiba wasn't far, there was still a distance.

If Lin Ye were in Tokyo, she could even go to see him every day.

Hoshino Ai thought about it slightly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

'Pat pat...'

She patted her own cheeks.

"Can't let my mind wander, train hard, next time I absolutely must not be a burden to Lin Ye-kun."

She started running again, continuously shedding sweat on the company's treadmill.

Lin Ye returned to his apartment and conducted a thorough inspection of it.

"ID documents, bank card, 30,000 in cash, and..."

He arranged the items neatly one by one.

Lin Ye had actually thought about whether the original owner had a habit of keeping a diary, but now he knew that was impossible; a normal person wouldn't really keep a diary.

"Let's see if I can reset the bank card password through the app."

If not, he would have to go to a branch of the bank in Tokyo to see.

Money was a necessity.

How to get money?

The Time Stop superpower was very strong.

Even if he robbed a bank, no one would notice, but Lin Ye had absolutely no such thought; he had his bottom line and principles.

Since he decided to keep a low profile, naturally, income and funds needed to be handled carefully so as not to arouse suspicion.
