A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 636: Psychological Wavering
As the golden light in the corridor became brighter, the flames ignited by Stiyl gradually went out, and the "Witch Hunter King" soon disappeared into thin air.

The originally good situation took a sudden turn for the worse. Kamijou Touma couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and at the same time clenched his right fist, ready to get ready.

"Stiyl, for Index's sake, I'll let you go," Aureos said. "Leave here, and I'll forgive you for the damage you caused me."

"Ha!" Stiyl sneered, "Is this the first day we've met? How dare you say such a foolish thing! The Church of Necessary Evil will never leave until the mission is completed!"

"Really? That's a shame." Oreos shrugged helplessly. "I have to go get Index and don't have time to waste with you, so..."

Aureus raised his finger and pointed at Stiyl: "Your heart has stopped beating. Die!"

Stiyl was about to refute, but immediately covered his heart with his hands, his face turned pale, and only fragmented and incoherent sounds came out of his mouth.

—What is this? A curse?
Kamijou Touma was the first to notice something was wrong with his companions. Since it was a battle between magicians, it was reasonable for any strange things to happen.

Kamijou Touma was mentally prepared, so he rushed forward decisively, clenched his right fist, and hit Stiyl on the back.

Boom!
The heart starts beating again.

Stil took a deep breath, as if a person who was suffocating finally regained his breath.

Without time to feel grateful for surviving the disaster, Stiyl immediately summoned the flaming sword to slash at the enemy.

Stiyl's "resurrection" was beyond Oreos's expectation, causing him to slow down a bit. Although he avoided the flaming sword, the flames still left a scorch mark on his suit chest.

"Who is this guy? A psychic?" Oreos finally looked Kamijou Touma in the eye.

"What a coincidence," Stiyl grinned, "This guy is Index's current guardian."

"You actually handed Index over to the people of this city?" Aureos said coldly, "Then let's die together!"

"I won't let you succeed!" Kamijou Touma waved his right hand again to dispel the enemy's curse.

This time, it was his turn to take the lead.

"Another one in a wheelchair..." As if recalling some unpleasant memories, Oleios's expression became uglier.

He took out a new silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point on the back of his neck: "It doesn't matter, he's just a superpower, it's all the same..."

"Hahahaha!" Stiyl burst into laughter upon seeing this. "Just as Lin Wuming said, Kamijou Touma, just follow the plan."

Stiyl became increasingly arrogant, his tone filled with disdain: "We need to make a quick decision and rescue people. We don't have time to waste on this guy."

“Huh? Oh!” Kamijou Touma immediately realized something, a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. “But will it really be that easy?”

"Don't worry, you can see that this guy is just a coward who needs acupuncture to numb himself."

Stiyl said he wanted to end the battle quickly, but in reality, he was very patient in chatting with Kamijou Touma.

"He can't do anything to your right hand," Stiyl said. "Once his silver needles run out, he'll be finished!"

"What a joke, my silver needle..." Oreos couldn't help but glance at the needle box in his hand, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He realized that the situation became worse the moment he wavered and wanted to confirm the number of silver needles!
——We must forget these distracting thoughts!
Oreos took out the silver needle again and prepared to insert it into a specific acupuncture point.

But this action was stopped by the flaming sword swinging at him. "Don't forget us, Oreos, we are still fighting!"

Aureus's mind became increasingly confused—he must be stopped!

Retreat first, regroup in a safe place, and come back...

No, I clearly have the advantage now, why should I run away?
Do I really have the upper hand? My biggest weakness has been seen through!
No, this is not a flaw, my "Golden Dayan Technique" is impeccable!
But without these silver needles...

Calm down, calm down! Calm down! Only by staying calm can you maintain the "Golden Great Evolution Technique"!
Retreat, return to a safe place, calm down first, and then seal this memory, then I will still be invincible...

"Hey, how can you be dazed in the middle of a battle?" Stiyl's voice startled him awake.

When Oreos came to his senses, he suddenly found that Stiyl's partner in the wheelchair was gone!
Kamijou Touma's original figure turned into a phantom and dissipated into the air.

And he himself had quietly approached Oleos.

"I don't know what to do, but let me punch him first!" Kamijou Touma endured the pain in his feet, stood up suddenly, and punched the enemy in the face!

"No, stop him!" cried Aureus.

An invisible barrier appeared in front of Kamijou Touma, but it was as weak as air when facing the "Illusionary Hand".

Kamijou Touma only felt a slightly stronger air resistance, and then he thrust his fist forward without any hindrance.

puff!
With the familiar feel and feedback, Kamijou Touma had no idea how many people he had beaten up with his right hand, so he knew very well that this punch was very powerful!
"It's done!" Kamijou Touma cheered with his fist, not caring at all that he also fell to the ground because he was unable to stand.

Then, with a loud bang, a fireball flew past Kamijou Touma's scalp.

Smash the needle box that fell from Oreos's hand.

"Stiyl! Are you going to kill me?" Kamijou Touma turned around and glared at him.

"We're in the middle of a fight, don't be so squeamish." Stiyl strode over. "Instead of complaining, why not give him a few more punches... Although I think he's already lost his fighting ability."

"Damn it..." Oreos struggled to stand up.

All around him, various supernatural phenomena crackled and flashed—electrical flashes, sparks, and even dark lines that looked like rifts in space...

However, Kamijou Touma, who was so close to him, did not feel threatened at all. Instead, he saw more clearly that this guy was already "broken".

"You think..." Oreos suddenly jumped up from the ground in a strange manner, glaring at the approaching Stiyl and while carefully searching the ground for a usable silver needle...

"You think..." After searching fruitlessly and confirming that there were no more silver needles to use, Aureos actually grinned, "If you destroy my healing needle, I'm doomed?"

As he spoke, Oreos's nails instantly grew longer, and the tips became sharp like steel needles.

"Kamijo Touma!" Stiyl's heart tightened, and without caring about anything else, he immediately pounced over.

Seeing this, Kamijou Touma didn't care about anything else and pounced on them.
