Lin Fan's gaze was drawn to the Pokémon egg, and the Insect Plate's sensation grew stronger, confirming to him that this should be a Bug-type Pokémon egg.
"How could there be a Pokémon egg in this place? And it hasn't been taken away yet..."
His gaze fell on the notebook next to the Pokémon egg. Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said to Beedrill, "Cut down this section of the wall."
Beedrill nodded, continuously corroding along the edges with poison. A moment later, with a dull thud, the wall collapsed to the ground, fully exposing what was inside.
Carefully picking up the Pokémon egg, Lin Fan examined it all over, finding no damage. It should not be a bad egg.
Since it wasn't a bad egg, why wasn't it taken away?
Lin Fan grew even more curious. He picked up the damaged notebook and carefully opened it, afraid of accidentally tearing it.
"Day 1 of being captured. They told me not to think or ask about anything, just to continue my research. Who are they, and what is their purpose in capturing me? But they don't seem to understand me well enough; I created a secret space right under their noses."
"Day 3 of being captured. I saw them capturing Pokémon outside and sending them into that room. The room was very soundproof; I don't know what happened, but I guessed some things. I need to escape."
"Day 5 of being captured. I accidentally overheard their conversation. There's an unmanifested Secret Realm here, and they want to find a way to enter it. Why would they know about an unmanifested Secret Realm?"
Several pages in the middle were torn out, and the timeline jumped forward by a month.
"Day 33. I finally understood what they wanted to do. A bunch of lunatics."
"Day 35. I don't understand where they got so much Plasma Grass."
"Day 36. There were no traces of Electric-type energy in the dissected Pokémon. They were very disappointed and began to question whether there was truly a Secret Realm here."
"They seem to have found out I'm Slack Off. Hehe. Oh, for the sake of my life, I'd better be serious."
"Day 37. I really am a genius... The extremely vast and condensed Electric-type energy, combined with that strange thing they brought, truly caused the Secret Realm to begin merging with the world. Lightning and thunder, how exciting! But this Secret Realm is so strange; why is it healing itself? And is there a Secret Realm that doesn't want to merge with the world?"
"...It's all over. Their target was actually a god. Lunatics, and they dragged me down with them."
A large patch of black ink covered a page. Lin Fan vaguely saw many highly expletive words.
"It seems there's still a chance to survive. Never mind, I'll give it a try."
"Where did this egg come from? They don't seem to have seen it. Well, they're almost dead anyway, so they don't have time to pay attention to my side."
"Oh my god, you scared me to death! I almost got struck by lightning. Luckily, I used the egg to block it. It should be fine, right? It actually absorbed the lightning; how amazing."
"My teacher always said, 'Who writes a diary if they're a proper person?' and he always criticized me for carrying a notebook everywhere and writing in it. But I never said I was a proper person, and if it weren't for my usual habit, I wouldn't be able to keep writing a diary under these circumstances. Teacher, oh teacher, you were right your whole life, and I've finally found your mistake just before I die, haha."
Through the diary, one could almost see the writer's self-deprecating expression.
"Humans who attempt to covet the power of a god will ultimately be swallowed by divine punishment."
This judgmental sentence formed the final chapter of the diary.
Lin Fan looked at the diary in his hand, silent for a long time.
Although he felt sympathy for the diary owner's plight, he still wanted to say...
"Can the riddle people get off Blue Star?"
After complaining, Lin Fan roughly understood what had happened.
A somewhat unconventional but extremely capable person, possibly a Researcher, was captured here to research how to enter an unmanifested Secret Realm, and within this Secret Realm, there was a so-called "god."
A god... it should refer to a Legendary Pokémon, right?
Based on the description, it should be Electric-type.
Zapdos? Raikou? Thundurus?
All seem possible.
However, the fact that there could be a Legendary Pokémon in this dilapidated place made Lin Fan somewhat incredulous.
But since there was a diary as evidence, it should be correct.
No one would intentionally fabricate a diary to deceive whoever found it, right? What would be the point?
After processing the contents of the diary, Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, put the diary away, and re-examined the bright yellow Pokémon egg.
"It absorbed a bolt of lightning... Could it be Electric-type? Based on the patterns and color, it might be a Joltik."
Lin Fan pondered, the image of Joltik appearing in his mind. It was quite cute; at least in his previous life, he often caught one as a mascot.
If this really was a Joltik Pokémon egg, then he wouldn't mind catching it as his second Pokémon. After all, the evolved Galvantula was also quite good and specialized in special attacks, which would complement Beedrill well.
However, he had never heard of an Electric-type Pokémon egg that could absorb a bolt of lightning. Lin Fan tapped the eggshell with a bit of concern.
Hmm, it's very crisp; it's a good egg.
Since the Insect Plate reacted, there shouldn't be any mistake. Hatching was just a matter of time.
Carefully putting the Pokémon egg away, Lin Fan searched around but found nothing else special.
After some hesitation, he decided to return to the exit and leave this place.
Passing by the dissection room, Lin Fan stopped, looking at the things hanging on the wall. After a moment of hesitation, he carefully took down Ariados's poison sac and silk gland.
Although hunting other Poison-type Pokémon to enhance his own Poison-type Pokémon was cruel, since these things were already a given fact and left here unwanted, it would be better to take them back for Beedrill to consume.
But why did he still feel a sense of guilt?
Lin Fan looked at Beedrill: "When we go back, I'll let you eat these things. But after you eat them, you must avenge them and do your best to combat evil, understand?"
Beedrill nodded. Although it didn't quite understand why normal eating involved revenge and combating evil, since it was Lin Fan's request, it would naturally comply.
The Ariados nearby shivered, and the large Ariados carried by Ursaring had already woken up. Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, it continued to play dead, fearing that Lin Fan would come and dissect them.
Ignoring these two Ariados that looked weak, helpless, and pitiful, Lin Fan quickly returned to the exit. He turned his head to look at the hidden base in front of him and indeed found many traces of lightning strikes on it.
