Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

After successfully kidnapping Connor, Lin Guochang took extreme measures to achieve his goal.

He knew very well that Connor's mental strength was strong, and if it was not reduced, the truth serum would hardly work on him.

Thus, a cruel torture began, which lasted for three days and three nights.

During this long period of time, Connor suffered both physical and mental pain, and every minute and every second was like suffering in hell.

However, Lin Guochang’s real motives are hard to understand.

He told Tang Chen that all this was to make the truth serum take effect so as to obtain information about the whereabouts of his son Lin Yi.

But behind the cruel torture, was it purely out of strategic considerations, or was it because of the anger and revenge deep in his heart towards Connor for opening the black hole and causing his son to be sucked into another world?

I'm afraid no one else knows except himself.

"stay…"

A slightly slow cry was heard, it was the unique sound of Slowpoke.

This voice was like a sharp light, piercing straight through the veil of memories in Lin Guochang's mind and pulling him out of his past thoughts.

Lin Guochang was slightly startled, and his thoughts were brought back to reality.

He looked at Slowpoke, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including anger at it for interrupting his memories, and also the clarity of returning to the present moment.

"What's wrong? Slowpoke."

Lin Guochang lowered his voice and asked softly. At the same time, he reached out his hand tenderly and gently stroked Slowpoke's head, as if to comfort it, or as if to seek an answer.

Slowpoke rubbed Lin Guochang's palm affectionately with its round body, and made a "slow...slow..." sound again.

The monotonous syllable seemed particularly abrupt in this silent environment. There seemed to be a hint of urgency in its eyes, as if it was sending a signal to Lin Guochang that something was wrong.

Lin Guochang became alert instantly, like a cheetah that smelled danger.

His sharp eyes quickly looked around, not missing any corner.

At this moment, the air around seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, pressing down heavily and solidifying like a substance. There was a faint sense of uneasiness and restlessness in it, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering in the darkness.

He knew very well that in this world full of dangers and unknowns, even the slightest disturbance could be a prelude to danger.

Tang Chen looked at Lin Guochang in confusion and said nothing.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Lin Guochang approached Slowpoke and spoke in a very low voice.

Then, he lightened his steps and walked slowly in the direction indicated by Slowpoke.

Each of his steps was extremely light, like an elf dancing on thin ice. He carefully controlled the strength and rhythm, not daring to be careless in the slightest, for fear of disturbing the unknown existence in the dark.

As the distance gradually shortened, a slight "rustling" sound faintly reached his ears.

That sound was like something mysterious moving quietly through the bushes or shadows in the dark, and every movement gently plucking Lin Guochang's tense heartstrings like a feather.

Lin Guochang frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

His movements were extremely cautious, like a vigilant cheetah. He walked out slowly and carefully from behind the boulder, his eyes fixed on the embarrassed humans not far away, and then slowly approached in their direction.

These people were extremely miserable. Their clothes were as tattered as defeated soldiers returning from the battlefield, and the torn strips of cloth fluttered weakly in the wind.

Their hair was messy and tangled together, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.

Everyone's body was covered with scratches, and those wounds were still stained with mud. Some were even bleeding. From their miserable appearance, it was not difficult to tell that they must have experienced one thrilling ordeal after another in this cruel world.

The men's faces were covered with messy stubble, as if they had not been trimmed for a long time, making them look even more shabby.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, like puppets that had lost their souls, but that emptiness was filled with fear, as if they were haunted by an endless nightmare.

The women hugged the packages around them tightly, almost using up all their strength, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if they were guarding the most precious treasure in the world and would not allow the slightest mistake.

The packages were all bulging. From the exposed corner of one of the packages, one could vaguely see that it contained some food, including some bread that had dried up beyond recognition and a few bottles with very little water left.

When they saw Lin Guochang appear, they were startled at first, and their eyes were instantly filled with fear.

But then, as if they had grasped the last straw, they shouted loudly:

"Don't stand there like an idiot! If we're discovered by those guys, we'll all die!"

Lin Guochang was startled and asked quickly, "Those guys?"

His eyes subconsciously scanned the surroundings, trying to find potential threats.

At this critical moment, several white figures suddenly appeared like ghosts. They were extremely fast and attacked those people rapidly with a fierce momentum.

The white figure seemed particularly dazzling in the dim environment, like the scythe of the god of death, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Ultimate Beast!!"

Those people suddenly let out extremely terrified screams, their voices cutting through the air, and the fear in them seemed to be able to condense the air around them.

They tried to escape in panic, clinging to the food as if it was their last resort, staggering in different directions but seeming a little helpless because of fear.

Lin Guochang's attention was instantly attracted by those ultimate beasts. His brows were tightly furrowed, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He carefully looked at these menacing guys and thought to himself: "Is this... the Bang-Head Clown?"

Their unique appearance was somewhat similar to the Bang-Headed Clowns in his memory, except that these guys now exuded a stronger aggression, and the dangerous aura made Lin Guochang dare not be careless at all.

In the previous thrilling incident in Qinghai City, Lin Guochang had fought fierce battles with many similar ultimate beasts and successfully defeated them.

The scene at that time was full of dangers. Wherever the ultimate beast went, there was chaos. However, Lin Guochang turned the tide with his own powerful strength.

Take this Boomstick for example, it is a Pokémon with both fire and ghost attributes.

As a trainer specializing in water, Lin Guochang has a natural restraint advantage in attributes.

Facing Bang-Headed Clown, he handled it with ease like an experienced hunter facing familiar prey.

Because of this, this experience did not leave a very deep impression in his mind. Compared with other difficult challenges, the process of dealing with Bang Head Clown seemed a bit dull.
