Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Whether it's the butterfly effect or not, Bai Yu doesn't really care.

Just kidding, this world already has one more time traveler like him.

If the plot doesn't change at all, wouldn't that make him, the transmigrator, seem completely unimportant?

Compared to any vague butterfly effect, Bai Yu was more concerned about the ice demon beast itself at this moment.

Qi Ren just made it very clear that Groudon only "drove" the Ice Demon Beast away, not "killed" it.

This means that there is still a mature Digimon in this city that he can hunt!

With that in mind, Bai Yu was determined not to miss out.

He snapped out of his reverie, his expression instantly shifting from deep thought to enthusiasm.

He grabbed Qi Ren's shoulder, who was still bowing his head in self-reflection, and put on a friendly smile like that of two buddies.

"Qi Ren!"

"Huh?" Qi Ren was taken aback by his sudden enthusiasm and subconsciously raised his head.

Bai Yu winked at him, her tone full of seduction: "Let's go find that ice demon beast together, and I'll help you get revenge, how about it?"

To avenge myself?

The thought of that arrogant and despicable face of the ice monster yesterday immediately filled Qi Ren with anger.

That would be great!

But the next second, a more realistic problem instantly extinguished the flame of revenge in his heart.

Looking at Bai Yu's enthusiastic smiling face, Qi Ren's little face immediately fell down again.

He asked cautiously, almost tentatively, "Brother Baiyu... are you raising the price?"

The question made Bai Yu's smile freeze instantly.

His arm around Qi Ren's shoulder froze, and his expression changed visibly from sunny to stormy.

"What did you say?"

Bai Yu's face darkened, and his voice became low.

He stared at Qi Ren and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who's obsessed with money?"

Sensing the hostility in Bai Yu's tone and his face, which was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.

Qi Ren felt a jolt, his survival instinct instantly surging.

He really wanted to nod and say yes, but looking at Bai Yu's expression, he forced a smile against his will.

"No, no way!" Qi Ren shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"In my eyes, Brother Bai Yu, you're amazing! Absolutely amazing! And incredibly loyal!"

Chapter 25: Is this what a beast tamer is supposed to do?

Although Bai Yu knew it was a lie, he had to admit that it was still very pleasant to hear Qi Ren's flattery.

Then, the gloom on Bai Yu's face vanished, and he smiled again, no longer teasing the guy.

Bai Yu released his arm from Qi Ren's shoulder, patted him on the back, and his tone became serious: "Alright, you know how to talk, kid. I won't hold it against you this time. Let's talk business."

Seeing that Bai Yu was no longer angry, Qi Ren breathed a heavy sigh of relief, straightened his small body, and put on a serious expression.

"Brother Bai Yu, I want revenge too!"

"But how can we find that ice demon beast?"

In a city this big, finding a Digimon that is deliberately hiding is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Just as Qi Ren was fretting over this problem, the Guramon beside him suddenly lit up without warning.

The next second, the oppressive dragon rapidly shrank in the light, reverting back to Guilmon.

Guilmon looked down at its claws, which had returned to normal, and shook its little head, seemingly still a little dazed.

A moment later, it raised its head in surprise and happily pounced on its partner.

"Qi Ren, I'm back! I'm back!"

Gilmon rubbed excitedly against the man's chest, its tail wagging happily.

"That's great!" Keito excitedly hugged Guilmon, his joy evident on his face.

A huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

So it really is possible to turn back on your own, then he won't have to worry about this problem anymore!

After a brief moment of joy, the topic returned to the ice monster.

Bai Yu looked at Qi Ren, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said slowly, "I have a solution, and it's very simple."

As he spoke, Bai Yu's gaze fell on Qi Ren, and he looked him up and down.

"Didn't that ice monster attack you? That means you were its target."

"So, if you just become the bait, won't you be able to lure it out?"

Bai Yu spoke casually, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

However, when these words reached Qi Ren's ears, the joy on his face instantly froze, followed by shock and disbelief.

Qi Ren suddenly raised his voice, no longer caring about being scared, and loudly questioned Bai Yu, "What? Brother Bai Yu, are you going to use me as bait to catch fish?!"

Qi Ren felt that the little bit of goodwill and trust he had developed for Bai Yu Sheng had shattered into dust in an instant.

His face flushed red with anger as he pointed at Bai Yu, his voice trembling, "And here I am, saying you're loyal! Is this how you show loyalty to me?!"

"How can you be such a good older brother?!"

Faced with Qi Ren's fierce reaction and accusation, Bai Yu glanced at Qi Ren and asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "What? It's just you and me here. If you don't want to be the bait, do you expect me to be?"

Hearing Bai Yu's righteous question, Qi Ren really wanted to point his finger at Bai Yu's nose and shout out loud: You're the best bait!

But Qi Ren ultimately didn't dare to say it aloud.

He knew very well who was the boss who kept their word and who was just the lackey with no other choice.

Qi Ren lowered his head with a pitiful look, staring at his toes, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum.

"I...I'll take it, I'll take it..."

Hearing this, Bai Yu nodded in satisfaction.

He naturally put his arm around Qi Ren's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "That's right. When you're partners, you have to be dedicated."

"Come on, let me briefly explain the seduction plan I just came up with."

Qi Ren remained silent, only looking at him with her eyes filled with grievance.

Bai Yu cleared his throat and began to lay out his so-called "plan".

"The plan is actually very simple."

"Just wander around outside by yourself. Go to quiet places where there are few people."

"Since that ice monster has its eye on you, it will definitely attack you if you are alone."

Bai Yu's plan was so simple it was brutal, and so simple it was frightening to Qi Ren.

After hearing the plan, Qi Ren felt his legs go weak and his voice trembled with a hint of tears.

"Brother Baiyu...is it...is it really only me?"

"Guilmon...Can't Guilmon come with me?"

As soon as Qiren finished speaking, Guilmon immediately shouted in its childish yet firm voice, "I will protect Qiren!"

Bai Yu didn't even glance at Guilmon. He just looked at Qi Ren, who was about to cry, with amusement, and said with a hint of indifference, "What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm really asking you to face the danger alone."

He pointed to himself, then to the Gilmon.

"Guilmon and I are secretly following you from behind."

"As soon as that guy shows up, we'll rush out to protect you and make sure you won't lose a single hair."

"So, you don't need to worry at all."

Even after hearing Bai Yu say this, Qi Ren's heart was still filled with hesitation and fear.

The thought of walking alone on an empty street to lure a Digimon that harbored ill intentions towards him sent chills down his spine.

Seeing Qi Ren's still hesitant expression, Bai Yu's smile faded slightly, and his tone became much more serious. He looked directly into Qi Ren's eyes, his gaze filled with undeniable confidence.

"Qi Ren, don't you know my strength?"

"Trust me, I won't betray you."

Looking at Bai Yu's confident eyes and recalling Bai Yu's overwhelming strength before, Qi Ren's fear seemed to have been dispelled quite a bit.

Yes, with Brother Bai Yu following behind, what am I afraid of?

He's a powerful being who could easily defeat even Ruki's Renomon and Kenra's Gargomon.

Finally, Qi Ren took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision, and nodded with a helpless expression.

"Okay... okay."

Seeing Qi Ren finally nod, Bai Yu's face broke into a smile again.

"That's right, let's go, let's get started now."

After saying that, he told Qiren to walk out of the park first.

Qi Ren glanced at the Guilmon beside him, then looked again, and could only start walking towards the park exit.

As he walked, Qi Ren couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

My recent mood has been quite volatile.

First, late at night, I was lectured by someone.

Then, all of my pocket money was no longer mine.

Now, they actually have to go alone and become dangerous bait.

Qi Ren couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Is this what animal trainers are supposed to do?

This is too hard and too dangerous!

Chapter 26: The Little Demon Beast

On a quiet path, streetlights shone one after another.

Qi Ren hugged his shoulders tightly, his head looking around constantly as if it were equipped with radar, and his steps were slow and hesitant, as if he was testing something with each step.

Not far behind Qi Ren, at a corner, Bai Yu was leaning against the wall, holding a mobile phone in his hand, the camera pointed at Qi Ren's figure in front of him.

Guilmon crouched next to Shiraha, also peeking out its little head and nervously watching its partner.

"Tsk tsk." Bai Yu looked at Qi Ren's cowardly expression on the phone screen and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Can't you be a little bolder?"

"Looking at him like that, anyone who didn't know better would think he wasn't being used as bait, but as a prostitute!"

"No, what he's doing seems more like he's urinating in his pants pocket and wants to find a secluded place to relieve himself."

If Qi Ren knew that Bai Yu was talking about him like this behind his back, he would definitely feel very wronged and say: I am really, really scared!

To leave him alone on such a quiet, even somewhat eerie street, and to lure a Digimon that harbors ill will towards him, is like something out of a horror movie!

The fact that he mustered the courage to get this far instead of running away in tears is already an extraordinary achievement!

Actually, at this point, Qi Ren was already thinking about giving up.

Because he had been following Bai Yu's "plan" and had been walking aimlessly for several streets, the time had already gone from dusk to night.

He was very obedient, deliberately choosing to walk in secluded places with few people, but what happened? Nothing happened.

We haven't even seen a glimpse of that damned ice monster.

In fact, Bai Yu had no confidence whatsoever about whether Qi Ren could lure out that ice demon beast.
