Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

"But it should work, right? I'll give it a try!"

After saying that, Jianliang took out his blue D-Ark, walked to the sofa, and aimed the arc light machine at the Youkomon on the sofa.

Then, he quickly pulled out a card from the card box and swiped it!

"Card swap! Replacement component Q!"

As Jianliang made his move, the blue D-Ark in his hand lit up.

A soft beam of light shot out from the arc light machine and landed precisely on the weak and exhausted fox beast on the sofa.

The light shone brightly, and the tense body visibly relaxed.

The fox beast let out a suppressed groan of pleasure, and the grotesque wounds on its body began to heal at a visible speed under the light.

Although the injury has not fully recovered, his breathing has become much more stable.

"Great! It works, and it's effective!"

Upon seeing this, Jianliang's tense expression instantly turned into surprise.

The big-eared beast also shook its long ears and chimed in, "Don't be slow!"

The Gloriamon floating nearby happily spun around in the air and let out a cheerful cry: "Youkomon is alright, Gloria!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Jianliang, continue."

"This 'Replenishment Component Q' won't heal all of Renamon's injuries."

However, the joy on Jianliang's face froze at this moment.

Jianliang looked at Bai Yu with some difficulty, shook his head, and showed a helpless expression.

"It won't work."

"Hmm?" Bai Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously frowned.

I thought Jianliang meant that the same card cannot be used consecutively.

"I know this card can't be used temporarily; there's a cooling-off period."

"Why don't you just use a different card?"

Bai Yu knew that digital cards had a cooldown period.

After a card has been used, you need to wait for a period of time before you can use it again.

Without this rule, wouldn't beast tamers be invincible in battle?

There's no need to worry about tactics. As long as you have enough cards, just stand still and keep swiping them to wear down your opponent.

However, after hearing Bai Yu's words, Jianliang shook his head with a wry smile and explained, "It's not what you think. You can't swipe it with a different card. The same card can only be swiped once within a certain period of time."

"What?" Bai Yu was genuinely stunned this time, his face filled with astonishment.

Seeing Bai Yu's clearly disbelieving gaze, Jianliang knew that it would be difficult to explain clearly just by talking.

Jianliang sighed, said nothing more, and proved himself through his actions.

Jianliang pulled out an identical 'Replenishment Component Q' card from the card box.

Then, in front of Bai Yu, he swiped the card across the arc light machine once again!

However, this time, the arc light machine seemed to be asleep, without emitting the slightest light or showing any reaction.

"Depend on!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

This restriction was much stricter than he had imagined!

Bai Yu originally thought that the so-called cooling time was limited to a single physical card.

Unexpectedly, this restriction directly locked the type of card!

This means that no matter how many cards you have of the same type, they cannot be used again before the cooldown period ends.

"So if I want to use this card again, I'll have to wait a while?" Bai Yu frowned deeply and asked in a deep voice.

Jianliang looked at Bai Yu and nodded helplessly.

Just then, the fox spirit sat up from the sofa and said, "It's okay, I'm much better now."

Under the treatment of "Supplemental Component Q", Renamon's injuries, although not yet fully healed, have stabilized and are no longer deteriorating.

Then, the fox spirit got up from the sofa.

"I must go and save Ruki!"

"and many more!"

Bai Yu darted forward and stopped the demon fox beast, halting its reckless actions.

Bai Yu said in a serious tone, "I understand your desire to save Liu Ji, but don't be in such a hurry!"

"You heard me making the phone call earlier. Let's wait for the results of their investigation."

"It's much better to rescue people once you have concrete clues than to rush out and search aimlessly like this!"

The fox demon knew that Bai Yu was right, but the thought that Liu Ji might be suffering at this moment tore at its heart and made it unable to find peace for even a moment.

Jianliang looked at Baiyu and asked, "Baiyu, are you waiting for news from Chief Yamaki?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu nodded to Jianliang.

Jianliang could guess that, apart from the official agency led by Mitsuo Yamaki, there was probably no other organization capable of quickly investigating such 'Digimon-related matters'.

Surely Bai Yu's "over there" doesn't refer to that reckless guy Qi Ren?

In addition, Jianliang and Yamaki Mitsuo are actually very familiar with each other, because Jianliang's father and Yamaki Mitsuo have been old friends for many years.

Having received a definite answer, Jianliang turned around and, in a gentle yet firm tone, persuaded the restless fox spirit.

“Demon Fox Beast, Bai Yu is right. Impulsiveness won’t solve anything right now.”

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and we know nothing about the enemy. It's too risky to act rashly. Let's wait patiently for news."

The big-eared beast sitting on the coffee table chimed in, "Jianliang is right, you should listen to Jianliang for now, you fox beast."

After repeated persuasion from Bai Yu and Jian Liang, the fox beast slowly loosened its clenched claws and finally sat back down on the soft sofa, choosing to heed their advice.

"it is good……"

That single word exhausted all of the fox spirit's strength and filled it with endless worry.

Seeing that the fox demon had finally been calmed down, Jianliang breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his head to look at Bai Yu with a serious expression.

"Could you please tell me the whole story again in detail?"

“You explained it very briefly on the phone before, and there are still many things I don’t understand.”

"Was it really the 'Chosen Children' who attacked Ruki and the others with ice-evil beasts?"

Jianliang couldn't imagine what kind of child would become partners with an evil Digimon like Ice Demonmon.

As for the attack on Ruki by others.

In Jianliang's view, this was not impossible.

After all, he himself had fought with Ruki, and so had Keito.

Hmm? If that's the case, could it be someone that Ruki herself offended?

Chapter 38: Damn it! How could I have forgotten about this guy!

Bai Yu nodded and recounted the details to Jian Liang, with the fox spirit adding further information.

Regarding the sacred plan, Renomon was adamant: "I wasn't mistaken, it's definitely a sacred plan!"

Since the fox spirit was so insistent, Bai Yu and Jian Liang couldn't really refute it.

After all, the fox spirit was the eyewitness.

There's no chance of any news tonight; the earliest we'll hear is tomorrow.

After working all night, Bai Yu was exhausted and just wanted to sleep.

Jianliang arranged a room for Bai Yu to rest.

As for the three Digimon, they were arranged to rest in another room.

Bai Yu walked into the guest room and fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

……

The next morning, at only six o'clock.

"Boom boom boom——"

A series of urgent knocks on the door woke Bai Yu from her deep sleep.

Bai Yu groggily opened his eyes, dragged his tired body to sit up in bed, and walked towards the door.

"Who is it..."

Bai Yu opened the door and saw Jian Liang standing there. She couldn't help but complain, "Why so early? It's barely dawn. I wanted to sleep a little longer."

Jianliang lowered his voice, pointed in the direction of the living room, and whispered to Baiyu, "Wake up, Chief Yamaki is already here."

Mitsuo Yamaki has arrived?

Bai Yu was much more awake and quickly walked out of the room, where he saw Yamaki Mitsuo sitting upright on the sofa in the living room.

A steaming cup of tea sat in front of him, but he didn't touch it.

Foxmon and Big-Eared Beast were also in the living room, while the little guy, Ancient Beast, was still fast asleep in his room.

Since it wasn't really its business, Jianliang didn't wake it up.

"Good morning, Chief Yamaki." Bai Yu stepped forward and greeted Yamaki Mitsuo.

Mitsuo Yamaki raised his head, his usually stern face now showing obvious signs of fatigue.

Clearly, he didn't sleep a wink last night and worked through the night.

"Is there any good news?" Bai Yu asked Yamaki Mitsuo.

The fox spirit beside him also looked at Yamaki Mitsuhiro, its purple eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.

Yamaki Mitsuo first pointed to a brown paper document bag on the coffee table in front of him.

Then he said, "The investigation results are here."

“I had people check all the ‘chosen children’ on record overnight. They either had absolute alibis or had good records and could not possibly have done such a thing.”

"As for that Oikawa Yukio you mentioned..."

Yamaki Mitsuhiro paused for a moment, his tired expression deepening.

"Because the time was too short, I didn't find much information about him, but I can confirm that he is currently abroad and has no possibility of committing a crime."

Hearing Yamaki Mitsuo's words, Shiraha's heart skipped a beat.

This is just a clueless situation.

This is going to be a problem.

Bai Yu picked up the file bag, pulled out the documents inside, and flipped through them page by page, his brows furrowing more and more.

Bai Yu recognized all the people listed in the document; they were Taiyi and the other eight.

Finally, here is information about Yukio Oikawa.

Attached to the photo is a man with long hair and a gloomy expression.

Bai Yu confirmed that he had not looked for the wrong person; it was indeed Oikawa Yukio.

The exit record clearly states that the person had already left the country and had no possibility of committing the crime.

The fox spirit also came over, looked at the photo of Yukio Oikawa, and shook its head.

The fox spirit said with absolute certainty, "It's not this person."

"The man in black robes that night wasn't this tall."

"He gives me the feeling of being more like a teenager, and he's about the same height as you, Bai Yu."
