A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 807 Poisoning Reaction
Inside the convenience store, as the delinquents were killed, their bodies turned into phantoms and then burst like balloons, and a chaotic AIM diffusion field instantly filled the entire indoor space.

Following this, using these AIM diffusion fields as raw materials, a new "fantasy beast" was born!

The situation had developed to this point without exceeding Lin Wuming's expectations, as the phone call from Professor Kiyama Haruo in the morning had already prepared him mentally.

Now that someone has restarted the "Fantasy Master" system, it's not surprising that new "Fantasy Beasts" have emerged.

However, the chaos is far from over. Among the shattered illusions, there is a real human being—the one who creates illusions.

Because he kept a low profile and crawled on the ground after entering the convenience store, this ability user successfully evaded the assassination attempt by the Tiger Bee Honeybee.

Then, when the fantastical beasts appeared and caused chaos, this ability user finally took action.

This ability user was a pawn controlled by Kihara Gensei using "mental manipulation," and Kihara Gensei's task for him was very simple—to poison him.

Furthermore, the target of the poisoning was not Lin Wuming, who was invincible under the protection of his Nen ability, but Ellie, who was lying on the ground and had no power to fight back.

Ellie's ability is "Memory Reflection." At this moment, she has established a connection with Lin Wuming, so the damage she suffers will also be reflected on Lin Wuming, including the reaction after being poisoned.

Kihara Gensei specially commissioned Kihara Pathology to formulate this special neuro-hallucinogenic poison—it can be said to be a product tailor-made to complement the superpower of "thought mapping." In essence, it is a hallucinogen that can produce strong and realistic hallucinations, but the drug itself does not actually have a "poisoning" effect.

However, Kihara Pathology added his own unique formula to the original hallucinogen, making the drug able to produce special hallucinations—the hallucinations that induce the poisoned person to voluntarily give up their life.

If an ordinary person is poisoned, they will attempt suicide, using external force to end their life.

But Ellie, who possesses the superpower of "thought mapping," doesn't need to go through that trouble.

"Human imagination is powerful"—Ellie's "reflection of longing" is the best interpretation of this statement.

Under the influence of the neuro-hallucinogenic toxin, Ellie's "thought projection" superpower was enhanced, allowing her to kill herself directly using her imagination without any other unnecessary actions.

After all, Ellie has already stored up enough "memories of death" to choose from and use any one of them.

Similarly, under the effect of the "longing mapping" ability, this "suicide" effect will also be reflected in Lin Wuming.

No matter how perfect Lin Wuming's defense was, it couldn't withstand this bizarre attack.

So, Ellie was poisoned, and with her pre-existing self-destructive tendencies, she did not hesitate to try to end her own life.

Affected by Ellie's "longing reflection", Lin Wuming is also forced into a "fatal crisis". Since the root of the disease is not in himself, Lin Wuming's many skills are of no use.

To make matters worse, at this critical juncture, the newly appeared fantasy beast also bared its ferocious fangs!

Unlike the previous fantasy beast triggered by Kiyama Harumi, this time the fantasy beast has also undergone special adjustments.

To be precise, it would be more appropriate to call it a "fantasy poisonous beast".

It doesn't have the same strength as the "Fantasy Beast," but it has the special effect of interfering with the AIM diffusion field in the surrounding area.

Or rather, in Lin Wuming's perception, it could interfere with his AIM diffusion field, making it impossible for him to control his Nen ability normally... However, in the chaos, Tiger Bee Toumi launched a series of sword attacks, and the chaotic swords pierced the "fantasy beast" into a sieve.

"All show and no substance," Tiger Bee commented. Apart from her somewhat intimidating appearance, she felt no pressure.

Seeing this, Lin Wuming felt a pang of anxiety, realizing that something had once again exceeded his expectations.

—This "fantasy beast" is a product specifically designed for itself!

Although Tiger Bee Honeybee had eliminated the "fantasy beast," Lin Wuming did not feel that the crisis was over.

Or rather, the real trouble has only just begun!
But Lin Wuming had no time to deal with these things at this point, because the poison in Ellie's body had begun to take effect.

Lin Wuming was also dragged into "bullet time".

At the same time, Lin Wuming lost his previous precise control over his Nen abilities, which deprived him of the means to interfere with the real world in the extreme state of "bullet time".

In other words, Lin Wuming is currently in a near-death state but is unable to save himself.

This also achieved Kihara Gensei's goal—to extend the duration of "bullet time".

Strictly speaking, Lin Wuming did not actually lose his Nen ability; he could still activate it, and the intensity of his Nen output was even higher.

However, Lin Wuming discovered that he was unable to precisely control this enormous power!
The mental energy that used to feel like a part of my body now felt like a tangled mess. Touching even one part would immediately trigger a collective reaction of all the mental energy, or to put it more simply, it would "go berserk".

Lin Wuming's massive level 5 psychic energy block... went berserk!

Lin Wuming transformed into the eye of a typhoon, creating a whirlwind driven by his mental power around his body.

Everything around was blown away, and the tiger bee Toumi, which was closest to Lin Wuming, was thrown back by a huge force, flying out of the convenience store door and landing on the street outside the store.

“Nameless!” Tiger Bee landed lightly, looking at the boy in front of him with some confusion.

—The Nameless One showed mercy just now!

The tiger wasp knew this, of course; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to land so safely.

Indeed, Lin Wuming deliberately pushed away the tiger bee trying to get the honey, using his last bit of conscious will to complete the operation.

With his superpowers out of control and a near-death experience due to an attack of unknown cause, Lin Wuming was driven to the brink of despair. Moreover, he knew very well that without the ability to freely manipulate his Nen abilities, even if he entered the "bullet time" state, it would only be a slow death.

Even worse than not being able to use Nen is losing control of Nen. Lin Wuming knew that once his Nen erupted, it would indiscriminately crush everything around him, and the first to be hit would be the nearest Tiger Bee, Toumi.

To avoid such a tragedy, Lin Wuming used his last bit of willpower to barely use his Nen ability to push the girl away.
