The annual "Pet Beauty Contest" in Barbie City had once again become the talk of the town. The Supernatural Research Club's trio had arrived at the lively competition. Wang Meili, dressed in a pink dress, was smiling sweetly at each adorable pet; Lin Xiaoqiang had his ears perked up, trying to capture any interesting animal thoughts; while Azai, camera in hand, was ready to record every precious "cute pet" moment, secretly hoping his "time stop for 3 seconds" ability would come in handy at the right moment.
The competition was in full swing, with all sorts of extravagantly dressed pets taking turns on stage, competing for attention. Just as the judges were intently scoring, Azai suddenly felt a familiar dizzy sensation wash over him.
"Wait… this is…?" Azai’s mind raced, and he felt as if he had seen the next few seconds unfold before his eyes—a normally calm Golden Retriever suddenly broke free from its owner’s leash and charged toward the judges, a suspicious little bottle in its mouth!
"Oh no! There’s a conspiracy!" Azai's alarm bells rang in his head, and he immediately activated his "time stop for 3 seconds."
Everything around him froze. Just as he had "seen," the Golden Retriever was lunging toward the judges with its little bottle, which was emitting a strange scent.
Azai wasted no time. He dashed forward to stop the dog. However, three seconds was far too short. He only managed to grab the dog’s tail before time resumed its normal flow.
"Woof! Woof!" The Golden Retriever, startled by Azai’s sudden appearance, struggled to break free.
"Watch out! It’s dangerous!" Azai shouted, trying to warn the judges.
But just as his words left his mouth, the dog managed to escape his grasp and threw the little bottle toward the judges' table. The bottle shattered, and a thick, sickly-sweet liquid splashed out. Several of the judges accidentally inhaled some of it and immediately displayed a look of rapture on their faces.
"What… what is that smell? It’s so captivating!" one female judge murmured, her eyes becoming glazed.
"I feel… I think I love this Golden Retriever! It’s our champion!" another male judge slurred, lost in his words.
Lin Xiaoqiang immediately understood from hearing the judges' thoughts. He realized the connection between Azai’s "vision" and the mysterious liquid—the substance was a "charm perfume" that could manipulate human minds! Someone was attempting to rig the results of the contest with this unfair advantage!
"Meili! Azai! We need to stop them!" Lin Xiaoqiang said urgently.
Wang Meili, sensing that something was wrong, immediately began scanning her surroundings, trying to identify the mastermind behind the plot.
Azai, meanwhile, was trying to recall more details from the vision he had seen earlier, hoping to find more clues. He remembered that, before the Golden Retriever broke free, its owner, a young man dressed quite ordinarily, had secretly given the dog a knowing glance.
Lin Xiaoqiang also overheard the young man’s thoughts: "Heh heh! My 'Champion Perfume' will surely make my dog win! These foolish judges can’t resist its charm!"
The trio exchanged a knowing glance and quickly locked their target on the seemingly inconspicuous young man.
