"An arterial injection?"
Fujino stared at the container of enhancement serum and pursed his lips. "Isn't that a bit too direct?"
A huge syringe, straight into the artery...
"Hoo..."
Fujino took a deep breath. "Hope it doesn't hurt too much."
After mentally preparing himself, he grabbed the container and plunged the needle straight into the artery in his arm.
The needle entered his body.
Surprisingly, there wasn't any intense pain.
Under Fujino's watchful eyes, the golden liquid began flowing steadily into his artery.
As the liquid traveled, he could distinctly feel it moving against the direction of his blood flow, returning to his heart, and then spreading throughout his body.
At first, it was warm, but as the golden liquid filled his entire body, Fujino suddenly felt an excruciating, bone-deep pain.
While the brain and the inside of the eyeballs don't typically feel pain, he could clearly sense a searing agony in both his brainstem and his eyes, as if something were tearing his frontal lobe apart.
The aftereffects had kicked in!
…
Moments later, Fujino lay motionless on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After going through intense torment, he felt utterly drained, covered in sweat, his shirt soaked as if he had just fought for three days and nights.
"Congratulations, host. Physical enhancement complete."
"You have acquired a special ability: Eagle Eye Vision."
"Eagle Eye?"
Fujino shot up from the bed and opened the system interface. A light screen appeared before him:
**[Eagle Eye Vision: A special sixth sense. Everyone has this potential, but very few can awaken it.]**
**Effect:**
- **Eagle Eye Tracking:** Activates Eagle Eye to mark a specific target. The target's movements will be highlighted within the visual range of Eagle Eye.
- **Eagle Eye Sensing:** Activates Eagle Eye to highlight nearby living entities.
- **Eagle Eye Enhancement:** Increases the host's perception and reaction abilities by 100%.
- **Detective Profession Bonus - Detective Eagle Eye:** When Eagle Eye is active, part of the evidence and the criminal's movements will be highlighted.
"Whoa, first the robe, then the hidden blade, and now Eagle Eye... What's next, a leap of faith?"
Fujino got up from bed, stretched, and eased his sense of exhaustion.
With a slight squint, Eagle Eye Vision automatically activated like second nature.
The world around him turned either black or white, or more accurately, the saturation dropped while the contrast increased.
It was hard to describe, but Fujino could tell that in this state, his perception and observational abilities had been greatly enhanced.
Thinking it over, he looked toward the Mori Detective Agency across the street.
In this dim world, several glowing human figures were moving inside the building.
Two large, one small.
The smaller figure and one larger figure were sitting in front of the TV on the third floor.
The other larger figure seemed to be in the bathroom, likely soaking in the tub.
The small and large figures were probably Uncle Mori and Conan.
As for the other figure with the better physique...
Obviously, that had to be Ran.
"This ability is a bit overpowered..."
Fujino withdrew his gaze, silently marveling at it.
He returned to his room and began testing Eagle Eye's other functions.
Picking up an apple from the coffee table, he weighed it in his hand.
With focused attention, a red dot formed on the apple.
When he tossed the apple into the air, the red dot moved with it.
Furthermore, the red dot left a red trail as it moved.
"This must be Eagle Eye's tracking effect," Fujino mused, rubbing his chin. "I wonder how far it can track."
He stepped out onto the balcony.
Looking down, he focused on a car passing by.
As expected, a red dot formed on the car as well.
The red dot moved along with the vehicle, leaving a trail behind.
It wasn't until the car was about 100 meters away that the dot and the trail faded.
"So, the tracking distance of Eagle Eye is about 100 meters right now, huh?"
Fujino came to that conclusion after withdrawing his gaze.
A hundred meters should be enough for most purposes...
He wondered if Eagle Eye would improve in the future.
For now, he was pretty satisfied with its capabilities.
Both of these functions were extremely useful.
Eagle Eye's sensing ability, just as the system described, could detect the vital signs of nearby lifeforms.
This would be invaluable for any stealth missions in the future, allowing him to confirm if a person was still alive.
And Eagle Eye's tracking compensated for his current lack of tracking skills.
Even though it only had a 100-meter range, that was sufficient for now.
As for the yet untested professional skill, Detective Eagle Eye, he wasn't sure yet.
He assumed it would mark murder evidence at crime scenes, just as the system described.
If that were the case, then the skill would only activate when a murder case was involved.
Deactivating Eagle Eye Vision, Fujino opened the system inventory to check the details of the other items he had just drawn.
**[White Wolf Cigarette, Advanced Version: The brave White Wolf Maiden always obeys her master's command.
Form: A tin of White Wolf cigarettes; a humanoid variant of the White Wolf maiden (requires 2 million yen for full transformation).]**
**Effect:**
When lit, the smoke from the White Wolf Cigarette will manifest as a humanoid variant of the White Wolf maiden, who will obey your commands.
"A humanoid White Wolf maiden?" Fujino stared at the system's description, momentarily lost in thought.
Snapping out of it, he quickly pulled out the advanced version of the White Wolf Cigarette and opened the tin, finding five white cigars inside.
They looked similar to the original White Wolf tracking cigarettes.
After observing them for a moment, Fujino took one out, lit it with his lighter, and placed it in his mouth.
Smoke billowed from the cigar, surrounding Fujino, refusing to disperse despite the evening breeze.
Amid the smoke, the White Wolf began to take shape.
It was the same wolf, but it slowly morphed into a humanoid form.
Slender arms, slender legs.
Soon, a White Wolf maiden stood before Fujino.
She had a wolf's head, a short snout, red eyes, and ears that twitched slightly atop her head. Her hair was white with gray at the roots, tied into a single ponytail by a red ribbon, with two strands of silver falling naturally on either side of her face.
She wore a modified short-sleeved miko outfit, with a white inner layer, a black chest plate tightly covering her chest, and a long black skirt with slits on the sides, revealing her bare white thighs. A large fluffy white tail trailed behind her.
"Please command me, my master..."
