Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

After all... he also thought it was outrageous!

How did this happen?

Even if Bai Kehu only throws one punch at a time, it's impossible for him to finish the fight in such a short time, right?

Seeing him like this, Zong Qinke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I understand you don't know either."

After calming down a bit, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

"It's better to do nothing than to make a mistake. The old saying is right... This time, we're working together on both sides. If things aren't going well on my side, it's normal that things aren't going well on the other side either."

"Now is not the time to blame anyone. Lando has escaped, and Bai Kehu's side has also failed. My men are alright; they haven't been caught red-handed. But what about Bai Kehu's side?"

"To be able to take down that elite force so quickly... Hmm, it must be that Bai Kehu had Lan Tianwu deliberately provoked me beforehand, so he prepared an ambush at Bai's Martial Arts School in advance."

"Yes, that's the only way."

Zong Qinke felt that he had sorted things out.

Now we need to think of a way to break this deadlock.

"...It's more accurate to call it a way to break the deadlock than a method to protect oneself."

“By now, Lan Tianwu must have realized my problem. Given his prestige in Tiangang, it is absolutely not appropriate to confront him in Tiangang if I don’t deal with him immediately.”

"So the first thing to do now is to gather manpower, and we must give up some people."

"I need to leave immediately afterwards."

"As for the blue jewel..."

Mentioning this thing, a red light flashed again deep in Zong Qinke's eyes, and his facial features became even more ferocious.

"...Yes, I triggered the tsunami."

"As long as I can leave immediately, the tsunami will delay Lan Tianwu and the others."

"The Blue Pearl was taken away by Bai Kehu, and it should still be in his hands. So if the tsunami is particularly fierce, they will definitely choose to look for a solution from the Blue Pearl when they have no other choice."

"And this is my chance!"

Zong Qinke muttered to himself, and then began to make arrangements for the others.

He didn't say he was going to run now, but instead told the others to gather together first—after all, he was definitely going to be the first to run, and he needed others to cover his rear, so he couldn't let them scatter now.

After finishing all this, Zong Qinke took out the old-fashioned communication device again, his brows furrowing slightly.

"It's hard to say whether the tsunami that was launched before can force Bai Kehu and the others to take out the blue pearl. But if the underwater base is put into full operation, the energy there will go berserk. At that time, with that energy interfering, I will also lose the ability to remotely control the base."

"But to go to the underwater base in person to stop the tsunami, one has to face that force... Well, in the face of the power of God, humans can't stop it, can they?"

"So it's not a big deal if the tsunami continues unabated for several years. Some people who have nothing to do with me die, so what if this city that doesn't belong to me is destroyed?"

"But this means I've lost my trump card!"

Eh.

Finally, Zong Qinke let out a long sigh.

"You have to give up something to gain something—run at full speed!"

He issued a final remote command to the underwater base. After completing this, he put away the no-longer-used communication equipment and officially entered the headquarters.

"Although we need to leave, there's no rush. We still need to pack up and take a lot of things with us."

"I'll set off as soon as I'm ready. There's still time—after all, that's how Bai Kehu was back then. Those narrow-minded guys always need evidence for everything they do, otherwise they can't just take action against the targets they suspect."

"In that case, I've done so much tonight, it will take them a while to organize the evidence."

"By then I'll have already run away, so these things won't count as wrongdoings, and I won't have made a fool of myself for nothing!"

Zong Qinke found psychological comfort once again.

But shortly after he stepped into the base, a figure clad in black armor slipped into their headquarters at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The current Lan Tianwu, the previous Bai Kehu, and even the people in the alliance—they definitely need concrete evidence before they can take action.

But Rocco is different.

Once he gets the gist of the matter and identifies the culprit, he prefers the simplest method to the more complicated parts.

Solving the problem is troublesome; wouldn't it be much simpler to deal with you, the one who caused it?

Things can be resolved slowly after you die.

And now... all I want is for you to die!

......

54. But that's what heroes do.

Zong Qinke didn't have much to organize.

Many of these were important files and documents recorded solely on paper. Apart from this 'information,' Zong Qinke didn't touch any of the real valuables except for the wallet he carried with him.

In his eyes, he was a sophisticated person, someone with goals and aspirations, someone who had transcended base desires.

Therefore, he often said that a person's pursuits determine whether they have a future.

He also felt that he was the kind of person with a future.

He even dared to say things like "I want to become a god" without affecting his plans, even though he didn't actually know anything about those powerful gods.

Because this is what he pursues, he dares to speak and act, and he doesn't care whether others laugh at him or look at him coldly.

He felt this was proof of courage.

but...

Was he really as brave as he imagined?

Can one truly disregard everything else for the sake of pursuing their own goals?

Not necessarily.

He considered himself the chosen one, with everything going smoothly for him. He had only suffered a few setbacks with Bai Kehu and recently. Courage without hardship to sustain it was nothing but foolishness.

A kind of... stupidity that will get him killed.

...

"Alright, everything's packed up."

"time to go."

Zong Qinke packed a handbag, picked it up, and prepared to leave.

But just as he turned around, he saw a dark shadow emerge.

The other person was dressed in complex armor, with a sword at his waist and another in his hand, looking like an ancient knight, but the details also had the feel of a modern tokusatsu drama.

Such a strange fellow shouldn't have been able to scare Zong Qinke, but being stared at by the other party and watching him approach step by step, Zong Qinke felt a sense of pressure.

This feeling made him nervous, and he instinctively stepped back, which filled him with... fear!

Without exchanging words, Zong Qinke understood.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"I..."

puff!

Just as Zong Qinke tucked one hand into the Poké Ball, clenched his other fist, and was about to say something, the bright red blade pierced through his chest.

His spirits all fell into a deep sleep with the help of Victini and Necrozma.

His innate superhuman strength and martial arts skills, which he had practiced since childhood, were of little use to Luo Ke.

That guy named Zong Wu knew a lot, so after Luo Ke suppressed Zong Qinke, the first thing he asked wasn't about the past or any events, but rather...

"If you're going to run away, what do you plan to use to buy yourself time?"

"Are you preparing to summon a meteor? Or is there a way to do something similar?"

Having learned from his experience of killing the doctor last time, Luo Ke didn't waste any words with Zong Qinke this time. After learning from others that he deserved to die, he came here to ask these questions.

To avoid causing any more serious problems.

result...

"Yes, I activated the underwater base with all my might before I came back. So for at least the next three years, the nearby ocean will change. A huge tsunami will completely engulf Skyport and the surrounding land, making this area unsuitable for human habitation."

"And the biggest tsunami should be about to break out, which will buy me some time."

Upon hearing Zong Qinke's words, Luo Ke frowned and asked him how to stop it all, only to find that Zong Qinke couldn't stop it either.

"Goodbye then."

Having learned everything from this, Luo Ke immediately drew his twin sword sheaths. Without spiritual power to sustain his life, and with his heart pierced, Zong Qinke collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, Necrozma's voice rang in Rocco's mind.

"Many of the things this human is preparing to take can be used as evidence. Are you planning to take these things to the Alliance or the Tianwu Dojo?"

"Do not."

Luo Ke walked to the window, looked towards the sea, and shook his head slightly.

“I already handed the recording device over to the league division, and the rest of the work, such as collecting evidence and handling the follow-up issues, is what those ‘heroes’ you mentioned should be doing.”

"We, or rather I, have never actually been heroes."

"After all, as you've seen, what kind of hero would just storm into the door after identifying the murderer?"

"I simply disliked these guys, so I recklessly used force to eliminate them."

"Perhaps, in terms of the nature of my behavior, I am just as bad as them."

"So let's preserve the evidence here and wait for the person who found them to do so."

"As for us—hey, since I can use my power at will, I'll naturally use it to stop something else I don't like."

At this point, Luo Ke had already jumped out of the window and disappeared into the moonlight from the shadows.

Even though he said that, he still pulled out another recorder, which recorded Zong Qinke's explanation of the tsunami and the underwater base.

"So Necrozma, our next task is to stop the enraged sea. It's that simple."

Upon hearing Rocco's words, Necrozma and the Fairy King's Sword, who had also not experienced the meteorite event, both used their ancient experience to refute Rocco's statement.

because...

In their minds, what Rocco was about to do was something only a hero would do.

...

After Luo Ke left, some time later, based on the recordings from the second recording pen, Lan Tianwu and the Alliance's personnel led a team into the room and saw the dead Zong Qinke, as well as the evidence he was about to take away.

The files and documents he saw made Lan Tianwu's face turn pale and then red.

There was both anger and guilt.

Because all the records here are about what Zong Qinke did in secret after he became a high-ranking member of the Anwu Association and gained power, including the people he won over and the people he suppressed.

Bai Kehu is here.

The reason he accidentally stole the blue pearl and jumped into the sea was because he was being targeted by Anwu.

He was a tough nut to crack, so Zong Qinke did a lot of things to deal with Bai Kehu. When Yang Wen caused trouble for Bai's Martial Arts School, a passerby said that the previous generation also had problems with Yang's Martial Arts School, which was just a minor incident among these things.

Bai Kehu's desperate counterattack to steal the blue orb was already the end of this series of events.

In short, the various problems are too numerous to describe in just a few words.

This made Lan Tianwu sigh deeply.

But he is not someone who would pursue extremes. After seeing these things, his first thought was to do everything possible to make amends to those who had been harmed.

Even if the belated compensation is very cold, it is something he has to do.

And besides that...

"The Anwu Association's system needs to be drastically changed."
