Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Xiao Guang simply nodded slightly to Qi Ren.

The two didn't exchange many pleasantries with Qi Ren, but instead turned their attention to Bai Yu, wanting to discuss serious matters.

Seeing this, Bai Yu asked Taiyi, "Tell me, what was all that mystery on the phone?"

Taiyi's expression was not good, revealing a suppressed anger and deep worry.

He took a deep breath and said to Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, Xiao Guang had an accident last night."

This sentence is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

Bai Yu's brows furrowed immediately, and his gaze fell on Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was neatly combed, and her face was clean. She didn't look like she had been in any trouble at all.

"She doesn't seem to be in any danger?" Bai Yu asked, puzzled.

Qi Ren also came over and asked with concern, "Sister Xiao Guang, what's wrong?"

Xiao Guang shook his head at Qi Ren without saying a word.

"Let me tell you." Then, Taiichi began to recount what had happened the previous night.

“Xiaoguang didn’t come home until very late last night. I called her but no one answered. I was so worried.”

"Just as I was about to go out to look for Xiaoguang, there was a sudden noise from the balcony..."

"I rushed to the balcony and saw Hackmon, carrying the unconscious Little Light on its back, standing on our balcony!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ren couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Hakmon?"

Bai Yu didn't say anything, but his expression became serious.

Taichi continued, "My mind went blank for a second, and I almost attacked Hakumon directly."

"It spoke up in time, saying that Xiao Guang's condition was not caused by it, but by a mysterious man. It chased the man away and then brought Xiao Guang back."

After processing this information, Bai Yu first looked at Xiao Guang and confirmed in a calm tone: "So the thing is, you were attacked and knocked unconscious, and in the end, Hakumon took you back, but you have no idea who the attacker was?"

Xiao Guang nodded gently: "Yes, I only remember walking home, and then... and then I don't know anything. When I woke up, I was already in bed at home. My brother told me what happened, but I don't know anything."

Xiao Guang was unconscious the whole time. She didn't know who attacked her, and she was completely unaware of anything.

Bai Yu then turned his gaze to Taiyi: "And you, you don't believe what Hakumon said, and you suspect that the person who attacked Xiaoguang was actually it. It made up a 'mysterious man' to clear itself of any wrongdoing."

Taiyi nodded; that was exactly what he was thinking.

Bai Yu looked at Xiao Guang more closely: "But, as I just said, Xiao Guang doesn't look like she's been injured. If Hakumon really wanted to harm her, why would it send her back unharmed? That doesn't make sense."

Taiichi said angrily, "Even if he looks fine on the outside, it doesn't guarantee that Hikaru is really okay!"

"Maybe it did something to Hikaru, but we can't tell!"

He became more and more emotional as he spoke, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"We have absolutely no idea about that Hakumon, let alone the constancy behind it! Who knows what kind of methods they have!"

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, Bai Yu wore a helpless smile.

Looking at the agitated Taiyi, he teased, "Why has your sense of normalcy suddenly become so poor?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi immediately rolled his eyes at Baiyu: "Isn't this all because of you!"

If Bai Yu hadn't said those things before, Taiyi would never have reflected on Heng's actions, let alone had so many thoughts afterward, leading to a complete change of heart.

Seeing Taiyi's self-righteous expression, Baiyu smiled helplessly again.

He did say those things, but he never intended to make Taiyi so paranoid.

However, Bai Yu did not offer much explanation on this issue.

His expression turned serious as he looked at Taiichi and Hikaru, and said in a deep voice, "At this stage, the constant shouldn't do anything to you."

"Because it's too busy right now, it simply can't keep up."

"What Hakumon said is probably true. As for the man who attacked Hikari, I also have a guess in my mind."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then uttered a name: "He should be Oikawa Yukio."

"Oikawa Yukio?"

Taiichi and Hikaru both looked bewildered; the name was completely unfamiliar to them.

Keito, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Oikawa Yukio? Shouldn't he be trying to hide at a time like this? How dare he come out and attack Hikari-nee?"

Although Qi Ren didn't say much, Taiyi immediately sensed something from those few words.

His gaze swept back and forth between Bai Yu and Qi Ren, and he immediately asked, "Wait a minute, who exactly is this Oikawa Yukio? Explain yourself."

Seeing Taiichi's serious expression, Keito subconsciously prepared to explain.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Yu raised his hand to stop him.

Bai Yu looked at Taiyi and said, "Let me speak."

Bai Yu didn't keep anyone in suspense and dropped a bombshell.

"This Oikawa Yukio, to be precise, is your mortal enemy, he is the Vampire Beast!" Bai Yu's tone was calm, but what he said made the air freeze.

"What?!" Taiyi's reaction was the most intense; he almost jumped up, his voice rising eight octaves in shock.

"Impossible! We wiped out the Vampire Beast back then! How could it still be alive?"

"And the 'Oikawa Yukio' you mentioned is a human, right? If he's a human, how could he be a vampire beast!"

Taiyi simply could not accept this statement.

The battle from back then was still vivid in his mind. They had made tremendous efforts to finally defeat that terrifying enemy, but now Bai Yu was telling him that the nightmare was far from over.

Xiao Guang's face also turned pale instantly.

For her, the name "Vampire Beast" was not just an enemy, but also a lingering shadow and a source of hatred.

Bai Yu was not surprised by the siblings' intense reaction.

He had expected this to happen.

"I'm telling the truth," Bai Yu's voice remained calm and steady.

"Oikawa Yukio is a human being, that's true, but he's actually a jinx."

"Back then, after you destroyed Myotismon—no, to be precise, after you destroyed Ultimate Myotismon—its residual data didn't completely disappear. Instead, it parasitized the body of this human named Yukio Oikawa."

Bai Yu put it in a way that was easier for them to understand: "You can think of it as Oikawa Yukio being possessed."

"The vampire beast is hiding inside his body, recuperating and waiting for its chance to make a comeback."

This detailed explanation was like a bucket of cold water poured over Taiichi's head, cooling down his excited emotions.

He and Xiaoguang exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief on each other's faces.

Bai Yu spoke so seriously and in such detail that it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Moreover, looking back, everything Bai Yu had said before had come true in the end.

Could it be... that Myotismon... is still alive?

Once this idea takes root in your mind, it can never be eradicated.

Xiao Guang's face was deathly pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

If the person attacking him is indeed a vampire beast, then the consequences...

Taiichi suddenly realized this as well, his face filled with anxiety: "If it's Myotismon, then it will affect Hikari..."

He dared not continue speaking; just imagining it made him feel as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart.

Given the hatred between them and the vampires, that guy is absolutely capable of anything insane.

Seeing his anxious expression, Bai Yu stroked his chin and thought seriously for a moment before saying, "Since Hakumon didn't say much to you, it should be nothing serious."

"I guess, perhaps Oikawa Yukio originally wanted to do something, but Hakumon appeared just in time, interrupting his plan and preventing him from succeeding."

Although Bai Yu's words were a conjecture, they were also reasonable, which made Taiyi's tense nerves relax a little.

Seeing his brother's frantic state, Xiao Guang forced a smile onto his pale face and said in a weak voice, "Brother, I really don't feel anything wrong with my body. Brother Baiyu's guess should be right."

"No way!" Taiichi rejected the idea without even thinking.

"Even if you look fine on the outside, it doesn't guarantee that you're really okay!" He took a deep breath, his worry undiminished.

Taiyi grabbed Xiaoguang's wrist, his tone resolute: "We need to go to the hospital right now and have a thorough physical examination to be on the safe side."

If it weren't for the need to meet with Bai Yu first and clarify Xiao Guang's situation, Taiyi would have already dragged his sister straight to the hospital.

Bai Yu naturally felt that a hospital checkup wouldn't reveal anything, but seeing Tai Yi's determined look and refusal to give up until the problem was cleared up, he wisely refrained from expressing any objections.

After all, the bond between siblings is understandable.

Just as Taiichi was about to pull Hikaru along, a short, startled cry rang out without warning from not far from the park.

"what!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet park that early morning.

Qi Ren's expression changed instantly. He recognized the voice and said anxiously, "It's Shu Li!"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Ren had already taken a step and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

However, he had only run a few steps when a nimble figure darted out from the woods ahead and sped toward them.

It was a Digimon in beast-man form, with golden fur, a muscular body, and a short sword at its waist.

Taiichi and Hikaru almost simultaneously called out its name: "Lionmon?"

But the next second, Taiichi shook his head: "No, Hikari, this is not the Lionmon we know."

Upon hearing his brother's words, Xiao Guang finally realized what was happening. The surprise on his face faded, replaced by a touch of sadness.

Yes, the lion they knew had already sacrificed itself to protect them.

The lion beast in front of me seems to be running away? It looks like some terrifying being is chasing it from behind?

It didn't even glance at Bai Yu and the others, but instead used the tree trunks in the park to leap over them. In just a few leaps, it swept over their heads and fled in another direction of the park at an astonishing speed.

Not long after the lion disappeared, a chasing figure came running up.

It's Juli.

Shuli ran up to the group, panting, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing her like this, Qi Ren immediately spoke with concern: "Shuli, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shuli interrupted him abruptly.

"Did you see a lion just pass by here?" Shuli's gaze swept quickly across the faces of the group, her tone full of anxiety.

Qi Ren was taken aback by her question, but quickly realized what she meant and pointed in the direction where the lion beast had disappeared.

"There was a lion beast that went that way."

Having received the answer, Shuli didn't hesitate for a moment and took off chasing after them.

"Shuli!" Qi Ren reacted quickly, grabbing her arm. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to chase the Lion Beast." Shuli turned around, her expression matter-of-fact, as if she were saying something perfectly normal.

This answer left Qi Ren even more confused.

Chapter 121: [Digital Knight - Courage - Light]

"Chasing a lion beast?" Qi Ren unconsciously tightened his grip on Shu Li's arm.

"Jillie, that's a wild Digimon, it's dangerous, you can't chase it!"

Since becoming a beast tamer, every wild Digimon that I've ever seen has been aggressive.

They follow the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and are wary and hostile towards everything in the human world.

In his mind, the words "wild digital beasts" were almost synonymous with "danger".

The only exception is the Ancient Beast, but it is a special case.

As for the little demon beast, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered purely wild.

"Qi Ren is right, little sister. You should listen to him. Even if it is a righteous lion beast, it is not entirely without danger."
