Of course, it wasn’t because he coveted a certain psychiatrist’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just coveted Simon’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn’t defeated Simon that night and couldn’t obtain a list of his abilities, this in itself was a clear message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall and thin man who had been knocked down in the villa wasn’t Simon Nepel, but a well-connected American tycoon called Jim Thomas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had thoroughly investigated the background of this tycoon over the last few days, and there was a 99.9% chance that he wasn’t Simon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only time Luke had met Simon was at the Tijuana villa seven or eight days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed unusual for Jim to be on vacation without his wife, it actually made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since this tycoon arrived in Tijuana, the public surveillance cameras showed him taking one or two different hot young Mexican girls out to play every other day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense for him to lie about being on a business trip and not bringing his wife with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, Luke had thoroughly examined this tycoon’s body in Space 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was damage to his brain in many areas, which would be very hard for him to recover from. He was 100% in a vegetative state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the suspicious targets who appeared along Simon’s escape route, Luke had secretly examined them, and found that they all suffered brain damage, albeit very slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley also had minor brain damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, before Haley woke up the next day, Luke had dug out all her memories of this period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already analyzed them countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His conclusion was that Simon could no longer be considered an ordinary person at the physical level, but more like a “ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could enter and control a person’s body with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, the person under control might be able to sense the outside world, or they might fall into a deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley was the only one who still retained her senses, while the others all became dormant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That could also explain how Simon had moved from the villa to Tijuana so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He traveled through other people’s bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was in and out of bodies in a short period of time, he was practically teleporting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had been suspicious ever since the night he guessed at Simon’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After relying on various clues to confirm Simon’s ability, he was even more determined to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be pointed out that Luke’s “Star of Justice” was a combination of Elementary Spirit Form and Cloning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how he looked at it, Simon’s ability was somehow related to the Spirit Form, and Luke was probably qualified to learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the practical use of the Star of Justice, even if Simon’s possession ability was only partially available, how could Luke not covet it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was only one of the reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second question worth investigating was why Jim, the tycoon whom Simon had possessed, had kept trying to attack Luke with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Simon suddenly abandoned Jim and possessed Haley, who unexpectedly injured Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had thoroughly examined Haley and confirmed that she didn’t have any superpowers. It was impossible for her to break Luke’s nanosuit or even stab him with her nails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Simon had probably given her this ability when he possessed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke speculated that Simon’s possession wasn’t a simple mental control, nor was it a physical control like Pheromone Control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could make the possessed body exhibit superpowers, which led to Luke making even more connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the ability to break armor with bare hands was very similar to the “bare-handed autopsies” which Patient 3 at King’s Park Sanatorium could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon entered the ocean with Haley through the sanatorium’s sewers and swam 50 kilometers to New Jersey, which was similar to what Patient 4, the “merman,” could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Haley was one of Simon’s doctors and also one of his main research assistants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because Simon had two identities in King’s Park Sanatorium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the researcher studying Patients 1 to 4, and himself as Patient Zero, and he was the main research subject for the entire project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a completely different existence from a normal person, a monster who was happy to study himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley’s guess was that Simon had fled the sanatorium because he had fallen out with the investors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the investors wanted to do was control Simon and even use him to control other superhumans, thus forming a team of superhumans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon, on the other hand, mainly studied how he could control other superhumans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the investors, an uncontrollable Simon was even more terrifying than their enemies. At the very least, they didn’t have to shell out money to take care of their enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after more than a year of research, they finally decided to make a move against Simon, and were prepared to turn this monster into a real research subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley didn’t know much about the details of the conflict. Simon had simply taken her and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the information she gave Luke and the information he obtained from the sanatorium, Luke guessed that Simon was probably afraid of the investors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the investors had the ability to pose a threat to Simon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Simon decisively abandoned the sanatorium and came to Mexico.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it could also be because Simon had already obtained the means to use the superpowers of Patients 1 to 4, and so he left without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon’s ability to possess people was what Luke was most interested in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way Simon obtained other people’s superpowers was Luke’s second goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of this buy one, get one free deal, even if they couldn’t be learned in the end, that didn’t stop Luke from being determined to catch Simon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Luke found Haley, who had gone for a midnight swim instead of sleeping, pleasing to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn’t provided him with a lot of information, he might’ve overlooked Simon, this “great treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had only found out about Simon’s existence in a couple of years, it would be very hard to obtain his abilities then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Simon had probably only obtained the abilities of Patients 1 to 4, and none of them were particularly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this guy learned abilities like Magnetic Control to make up for his shortcomings, or had Pheromone Control and Mental Illusion to reinforce his advantage, he would become a super troublesome opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Luke was glad that he had appeared this time as the Clown, or he would’ve really been worried about Simon’s counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>",1223,"2026-06-06T03:36:36.830Z",1,"novelbin.me","590fdc6480d8b2e117a896c73dab212d67f7739e7481ad717bee936e0dec7e86","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1748","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1746",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
