Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 360 Nobody Matters

In the police superintendent's break room, Linus plugged a wire into the back of his neck to charge his phone, completely unaware of Qi Hao and the others.

“Brother, let’s be frank. You don’t need to be so guarded. The earliest creations didn’t have the same memories of the very beginning of life as we do.” Linus didn’t seem to have any intention of changing how he addressed him.

"No, this must be an accident. My real name is Qi Hao." Instead of using riddles to deepen the misunderstanding, Qi Hao confessed directly.

“Hmm…maybe, but can you prove you’re not from here?” Linus sat in his seat, his bronze face expressionless, and it was impossible for him to have any expression.

His joints were simply too primitive; the only facial feature on the mask that could open and close was his chin. It was a hardware limitation that was truly unfortunate.

"Stop using honorifics, and besides, I don't need to prove this at all, so stop with the nonsense." Qi Hao leaned against the wall, his exhaustion making him too lazy to think about such trivial matters.

Having gone through countless reincarnations, Qi Hao's spirit was already incredibly strong to not break down, let alone the fact that he couldn't even get rest...

He really wanted to sleep until the heat death of the universe!

However, at this moment!

hum!hum!

The alarm sounded abruptly at that moment, accompanied by red warning lights.

Immediately afterwards, countless alloy plates fell rapidly, sealing off all entrances and exits of the room, including the doors and windows!

"Linus! Are you lying to me?!" Qi Hao shouted in surprise, only to feel something suddenly appear in his hand!

Then! A passage suddenly opened in the ceiling, and Iron Thorn appeared with seven or eight heavily armed robots, surrounding the desk and Linus, who was charging.

All they could see was Linus, who had just been pointing at his neck and was now slowly lowering his hand; Qi Hao was nowhere to be seen.

“Godfather? Why are you visiting me so rudely?” Linus faced the so-called “godfather” Iron Thorn without using honorifics or showing much respect.

"Where is Qi Hao? I can hear his voice." Tie Jingji didn't beat around the bush.

“I don’t understand what you mean, Godfather.” Linus rested his chin on his hands, confronting Iron Thorn.

“I don’t want to mention Linus a second time! I understand you’re unhappy with my decision to expel humans! But some things are beyond your knowledge! Beyond your understanding! Even if you’re the Commissioner General!” Iron Thorn slammed his fist on the table.

“Why can’t I understand? This city is aging, it’s dying, and the machines have lost their meaning. I can guess that you want to recreate that meaning, but after all these years, it seems to me to be utter nonsense!” Linus stood up and met Ironthorn’s gaze.

The two iron lumps were now on the verge of exchanging blows!

"Enough talk! Take Linus back, and search the rest of the rooms. There's nowhere for Qi Hao to escape in this small space!" Tie Jingji waved his hand, but received no response.

"Oh? Who are you directing?" Tie Jingji heard Qi Hao's cunning voice at that moment.

Even someone as composed as him couldn't help but shudder.

Then he turned around, looked at Qi Hao's smug expression and the eight robots next to him with their heads neatly removed, and then at the screwdriver Qi Hao was tossing in his hand. Suddenly, things became clear.

“Linus, you were probably trying to convey a message by pointing to your neck, like the head joint of your robot? As for the screwdriver, it’s probably yours too, since the part is quite old. As for Qi Hao…” Tie Jingji looked into Qi Hao’s eyes.

He looked up again at the dented finger marks on the ceiling, and the green-glowing stone slab and Poké Ball in Qi Hao's pocket. Wan Dou and Roland were lying there.

Qi Hao just hid alone in the ceiling!

"Being able to crush alloy plates with your bare hands, it's hard to imagine that you're actually a carbon-based life form. And the speed at which you tighten screws, I'd like to send you to a factory to shine." Tie Jingji realized for the first time that Qi Hao was inhuman.

On their first meeting, he was able to analyze the level of abstraction of Qi Hao from the smallest details, which clearly shows that this godfather's reputation is well-deserved.

"You still want me to come into the factory? So arrogant? Why don't you fix these robots, do a little Yangko dance for me, and then obediently surrender, and I'll reluctantly knock you out and leave you here?" Qi Hao twirled the screwdriver, feeling that the other party couldn't cause any trouble.

"Surrender?" Iron Thorn showed no panic. "No need. I actually anticipated the current situation, but it's too late."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao's intuition told him that something was about to happen!

Zero frame start! Qi Hao planned to twist the neck of the Iron Thorn in front of him to the right! Giving the opponent no chance to take advantage!

however!

hum!

A strange fluctuation began to affect Qi Hao.

An overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over him, his eyelids felt as heavy as if they were about to hit the ground, and Qi Hao felt as if his body had been injected with a dozen sedatives!

Is this time I really going to sleep until the heat death of the universe?!

Surprisingly, this wasn't a negative effect and couldn't be negated by the power of wildness!

"Do not resist. This will relax your weary spirit from countless cycles of time. Your spirit will be sent into the electronic world, where I will explain it to you personally."

Tie Jingji bowed to Qi Hao: "The power of technology is enough to amplify all your current weaknesses. I'm sorry to have to use this method to achieve cooperation, but I unilaterally promise you that when you wake up, your location will be at your destination."

Although Qi Hao didn't know why they were doing this, he couldn't resist his sleepiness: "You...you'd better not...fool me...zzzzzz"

Subsequently, the barriers in the room were removed, and mechanical staff members entered and carried Qi Hao away.

Tie Jingji walked out of the lounge and headed towards the central research institute.

"Why?" Linus asked at that moment.

"Because that world needs a savior."

"Then please let me in as well."

"What? You are one of the few machines that can control machines in this city, I can't..." Iron Thorn wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he saw that Linus's hands had transformed into gun barrels at the same time!

A weapon pointed at the iron thorns...

The other one is pointed at his own head...

"Godfather, you're a researcher, and your combat performance data doesn't even reach the level of a Heavenly King. So, my 15mm caliber, energy-conducting, rapid-fire hand cannon is enough to send you to the scrap metal yard!"

Iron Thorns dared not make a move. "Why? You don't actually believe he's the original creation, do you? You know perfectly well that the possibility of him originating from here is even smaller than the probability of a miracle!"

“You wouldn’t understand. I can see it. It’s an evil powerful enough to engulf everything in the world, but it hasn’t brought any pain to the world. You wouldn’t understand what that means. It’s worth it for me to do this, no matter who it is.”

Linus's face, despite his lack of physical attributes, clearly showed his anger!

Then came extreme silence!

Iron Thorn's brain was working overtime, and even the blue-green heat dissipation vents on its body began to glow: "Then... as you wish."

Immediately afterwards, a data cable was connected to the back of Linus's neck, and then Linus collapsed to the ground as if his computer had been turned off.

"J-type core Justice... Will the success rate increase with your intervention?"

------

In the electronic world, Qi Hao watched the projected images provided by the system. All of Linus's actions after he fell into a deep sleep were observed by Qi Hao.

Why are you showing me this?

"To make it clear to you that he is a comrade."

[This won't change my opinion of you. You've already hidden too much, and even though you've held back time and time again, my trust in you has long been exhausted.]

I understand...
