A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 635 The True Alchemist

Although Lin Wuming temporarily withdrew from the direct confrontation on the front line, he did not relax for a moment. Instead, he took the opportunity to concentrate his attention on observing Oreos, trying to decipher the principle of his "alchemy" - a system using superpowers.

Lin Wuming kept a "superpower catalog" in his mind, encompassing a wide range of abilities. Theoretically, with these superpowers, Lin Wuming could achieve an effect similar to the "Golden Great Evolution Technique"—constructing a world with superpowers.

It is based on this idea that Lin Wuming wants to try to interpret "alchemy" in his own way.

The result just looked...

"I still can't understand it!" Lin Wuming gave up his last attempt.

The riots caused in public were already serious enough, and Lin Wuming did not intend to delay any further.

Lin Wuming raised his pistol. This time, he placed the muzzle directly against his temple and pulled the trigger at close range!

Seeing this scene, Oleios couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - he had originally planned to create a flintlock rifle to fire a barrage of bullets, but the opposite Lin Wuming actually shot himself... What kind of operation is this?
Without giving him a chance to doubt, Oleos' body was hit by an invisible impact.

It was like being hit head-on by fully armed heavy cavalry... no, it should be said that it was a heavy chariot.

His body collapsed, like a piece of porcelain falling to the ground, shattering cleanly into countless evenly spaced pieces...

"Ah, so... that's how it is..." At the last moment of life and death, a flash of enlightenment suddenly emerged in Oreos' consciousness.

——It turns out that I am also a stand-in.

This completely shattered body certainly cannot be a real "human body".

I originally thought that the one who stayed in the Misawa Academy headquarters and maintained the energy supply of "Mobile Misawa Academy" was the stand of Aureos.

But if you think about it carefully, how could the real Aureos easily leave his own territory and risk running out in person?
——I finally remembered that I am also a stand-in, the second stand-in!
The first stand that Oreos refined was the guy who specialized in using "Instant Alchemy". His duty was to serve as a guard and bait to assist in defending the main camp of Misawa Academy.

And he himself is the second stand, more advanced than the first stand - because in a sense, he can be regarded as the "backup" of Oreos.

Because the alchemist Oreos made some kind of transformation to his own body, in order to leave a way out, he created this "second stand".

A stand-in has its own advantages, the most notable of which is that there is no so-called "fatal injury".

The psychological quality of Stand-in No. 2 is obviously much stronger than that of Stand-in No. 1. After discovering the truth, he did not suffer a mental breakdown. Instead, he immediately made full use of the advantages of this body.

——The whole body turns golden!

Then, literally "reshape the golden body".

Anyway, it's not a human body, so it's very easy to repair.

However, there are drawbacks to doing this.

"Your whole body has turned into gold?" Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up as she manipulated the electromagnetic force to grab it.

"Ah, ah, I knew it would turn out like this. Psychics are really troublesome..." Stand No. 2 thought silently, then looked at Index who had already run away, "Looks like completing my mission will be a bit difficult."

……

"Tsk, have you been discovered?"

Inside Misawa Academy, Oreos had a gloomy expression: "Sure enough, we are no match for them with just Stands." Not only was Stand No. 2, who was sent to the Sixth District to recapture Index, discovered, but almost at the same time, Stand No. 1 inside Misawa Academy was also discovered and defeated by Stiyl and another invader.

"Unfortunately, I'm too busy to do everything in my power." Oreos snorted coldly and pulled out the silver needle from the back of his neck. "I can only do things one by one..."

Throwing away the used silver needle, Oreos disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Stiyl and Kamijou Touma.

"Long time no see," he was greeted by Stiyl's flames, "Are you finally showing up, Aureos?"

The raging flames burned and gathered into a giant flame - it was Stiyl's signature magic "Hunting the Witch King"!
In the "small world" created by the alchemist, Stiyl used the rune cards he brought with him to carve out a territory of his own.

The surface temperature of the "Witch Hunter King"'s body is as high as three thousand degrees Celsius, at which temperature even gold can be easily melted.

Stiyl, who was serious, had no intention of restraining this terrifying heat, and allowed the fire monster he summoned to turn the surroundings into a purgatory!
Kamijou Touma had no time to think about anything else and quickly operated the wheelchair, completely hiding his body behind Stiyl.

It was not until this moment that Kamijou Touma realized how much Stiyl had let him down when they fought last time in the corridor outside his apartment.

It now seemed that even if the "Witch Hunter King" did nothing, just standing in the corridor, the heat radiation from his own body could instantly set the entire floor on fire, and incidentally, burn himself and Index in the corridor...

This terrifying heat is not a "superpower" that can be eliminated by "Fantasy Breaker", but an objective physical phenomenon.

The substitute of Oreos just now melted and ascended to heaven under this terrifying flame.

Now, the real Aureos has also plunged into the "Purgatory" set up by Stiyl...

"It's over." Seeing this scene, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but think,
And in his heart, he mourned for Oreos—after all, he had once been Index's comrade, and now they had to fight each other...

At this moment, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, as if a black hole appeared and was continuously absorbing heat.

The flames in "Purgatory" gradually receded, and after the flames went out, the figure of Oreos was revealed to be safe and sound.

"As expected of the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique', you are practically immortal here, right?" Stiyl said with a straight face.

Until just now, he was in control of the situation; so Stiyl knew very well that Oreos had indeed been hit!

This alchemist was just a hair's breadth away from being burned to death!
However, in battles between magicians, this "fine line of difference" is often the most difficult chasm to cross.

So the result now is that Oreos survived and is "safe and sound".

His body recovered in an instant, and his clothes were refreshed at the same time.

To Kamijou Touma, a bystander, it seemed as if Oreos had never been injured.

"I'm sorry, Stiyl." Aureos smiled calmly, "That was your only chance to defeat me."

As Oreos regained control of the area, brilliant golden light gradually spread, turning all the rune cards stuck on the surrounding walls and ground into gold...

The flame went out.
