Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Following Yamaki Mitsuo into the building, Shiraha Rao looked around with interest.

It was pretty much as he had imagined. Staff members were coming and going, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry with serious expressions.

When Bai Yu saw the large machine that had appeared in the anime, he became even more interested.

This thing is a really good one.

It can detect the emergence of digital technologies in a timely manner and pinpoint their location accurately.

If I could make use of this big guy, wouldn't my hunting efficiency be maxed out?

No more wandering aimlessly around the world like headless flies, trying to find something to suffer.

Bai Yu had already started making plans in his mind.

Bai Yu stood there for a while, looking at things by himself. After finishing some things, Yamaki Mitsuo came over with two envelopes.

Mitsuo Yamaki handed two thick envelopes to Shiraha.

"Here you go, this is my promise to you."

Bai Yu took it and weighed it in his hand.

It has a generous amount of weight and feels solid.

One of these two is the reward for defeating the Ice Demon Beast.

The other reward was for finding Ruki.

When Yamaki Mitsuo entrusted Shiraha with these two matters, they were discussed separately, and the rewards were naturally calculated separately as well.

Although it was eventually discovered that the people who caused the trouble and those who arrested Ruki were the same group, Mitsuo Yamaki was not the kind of person who would cut back on such a small amount of money.

Their 'Special Internet Investigation Room' is well-funded.

With money to be made, Bai Yu was naturally quite happy.

Therefore, when faced with Yamaki Mitsuo's subsequent inquiries about some details of the incident, Shiraha was very cooperative and answered every question.

After Yamaki Mitsuo finished asking all his questions, Bai Yu decided not to stay any longer and said, "Now that everything is resolved, I'll head back."

Having taken the money and cooperated with the investigation, it was time to make a run for it.

However, just as Shiraha turned to leave, Yamaki Mitsuo called him back.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Yu stopped and looked back at him with some curiosity.

Yamaki Mitsuo looked at Bai Yu, the serious expression on his face fading slightly, replaced by an even more solemn look: "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth.

In a secluded corner of an elegantly decorated coffee shop, a man with long hair and wearing a purple coat is slowly stirring his coffee with a small silver spoon.

This person was none other than Yukio Oikawa.

Suddenly, a voice that did not belong to this space rang directly in his mind.

The ice demon I sent is dead.

Upon hearing this voice, Yukio Oikawa didn't pause stirring his coffee for a moment. He didn't even look up, but responded softly, almost to himself, "Is that so? A complete defeat?"

It really surprised me; it was too fast.

Oikawa Yukio's lips curled into a slight smile, tinged with mockery: "I told you long ago, the child you chose is simply no good."

The voice remained silent for a moment.

I misjudged it.

Hearing the other party readily admit their mistake, Yukio Oikawa's smile widened, but he quickly became serious again.

"You didn't lose anything, did you?"

[Here in my possession.]

"Give it to me?" Yukio Oikawa asked tentatively.

【no. 】

Although this 'game' ended quickly, I still gained something. I obtained some special data, and I need to study it; maybe it will work.

Yu-Nio Oikawa picked up his coffee cup, and...

A few seconds later, he put down the cup.

"Okay, but next time you need to choose someone, you'll have to listen to me."

【no problem.】

“And your promise to me,” Yukio Oikawa continued.

Three days later.

Upon receiving this reply, Yukio Oikawa smiled slightly again.

Then, after confirming that the voice had severed the connection, he let out a cold laugh that only he could hear.

"Heh, you're talking about something that sounds like something you've actually been researching. Don't try to fool me."

……

Let's return our gaze to this side.

Bai Yu walked out of the 'Special Internet Investigation Room' building. The night breeze carried a hint of coolness, which felt very comfortable.

As Bai Yu walked slowly toward his home, he thought about what Yamaki Mitsuo had just said to him.

Yamaki Mitsuo just gave Bai Yu another task, but Bai Yu found it a bit troublesome.

Mitsuo Yamaki asked Shiraha to capture a Digimon for him alive.

Even a fool could tell that Shiraha knew that Mitsuo Yamaki wanted to study Digimon.

These chosen children and their trainers, their partner Digimon, are absolutely not something that Mitsuo Yamaki would ever touch.

Those kids all treat their partners like treasures; if they were to actually mess with them, they'd definitely stir up a hornet's nest.

Therefore, Mitsuo Yamaki's target naturally fell on those wild Digimon that had materialized in the real world.

However, the previous 'Special Cyber ​​Investigation Room' could detect the appearance of Digimon, but it lacked a strong enough combat force to reliably carry out capture missions.

And now, we have Bai Yu.

In Mitsuo Yamaki's view, Shiraha was undoubtedly the best candidate to carry out this mission.

Bai Yu felt that Yamaki Mitsuo had now started to use himself as a 'combat force', which Bai Yu thought was a good thing.

Establishing a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Mitsuo Yamaki and the 'Special Internet Investigation Room' behind him is definitely a great thing for Shiraha.

This means he has a stable, reliable, and extremely wealthy long-term client.

However, capturing him alive would not be in Bai Yu's best interest.

First, capturing alive is much more troublesome than killing them directly, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and risk of the mission.

Secondly, if they were only captured alive, Bai Yu would not be able to absorb the Digimon's data, and therefore would not be able to create new items.

However, since I've already agreed, I have to do it even if it's troublesome.

Business reputation is something that still needs to be considered.

Chapter 54: Two New Forms

The next day, Bai Yu lay leisurely on his own bed.

This was the first time Bai Yu had been so relaxed since he transmigrated.

Having agreed to accept Mitsuo Yamaki's request, Shiraha naturally remembered it, but this request did not require Shiraha to go out and find Digimon himself.

He just had to wait for Mitsuo Yamaki's call; their 'Special Network Investigation Room's' large machine could detect the appearance of 'Digital Domain' and then notify him immediately.

This is exactly the 'logistical support' that Bai Yu wanted most.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu didn't get to enjoy this leisurely time for long.

In the afternoon, Bai Yu received a call from Yamaki Mitsuo.

As soon as the call connected, Mitsuo Yamaki's serious and direct voice came through, without any unnecessary pleasantries.

"A Digimon has appeared. The address has been sent to your phone. Go there as soon as possible."

After saying that, the phone was abruptly hung up.

Bai Yu put down his phone, glanced at the address displayed on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh.

Sigh, I have to get to work so soon.

Yesterday, Bai Yu also heard Yamaki Mitsuo mention that Digimon that have materialized in the real world have been becoming more and more frequent in the past month.

Bai Yu knew very well the reason behind this.

This is because the digital world and the real world are getting closer and closer.

That's how the digital world works; when it's stable, it can be quite independent.

But once it has a problem, it will uncontrollably move closer to the real world, which is inextricably linked to it.

The most direct consequence of this proximity is that the various 'channels' connecting the two worlds are strengthened.

Digimon can more easily come to the real world, and conversely, humans can also go to the digital world.

Without further thought, Bai Yu quickly changed his clothes and rushed to his destination as fast as he could.

This is a bustling street.

What should have been a bustling scene of people and vehicles has now descended into chaos.

The 'digital realm' descended without warning, and an impenetrable thick fog rapidly enveloped the entire domain.

The sudden turn of events led to a series of rear-end collisions, with the sounds of screeching brakes and crashes echoing one after another.

The pedestrians on the street were terrified by this bizarre sight, screaming and scattering in all directions, their faces filled with horror.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling street became a mess, filled with an atmosphere of panic.

Bai Yu, on the edge of the chaotic crowd, ran straight against the flow of people into the area shrouded in thick fog.

After passing through the thick fog and regaining clear vision, Bai Yu saw a ferocious-looking Digimon.

It was a Digimon whose entire body was covered in jet-black flames, which burned silently, distorting the surrounding air and emanating an unsettling aura.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded in Bai Yu's mind.

[Dark Lizardmon: Adult Stage, Evil Dragon Type, Virus Species. Strength Rating: C-Rank.]

Bai Yu didn't stop walking. As he walked forward, he took out the Time-Space Driver and the deep blue Allosaurus Watch from the system space.

"Allosaurus!"

With a muffled activation sound, Bai Yu inserted the dial into the time-space drive and then pressed the entire drive against his waist.

"Henshin!"

He slammed the drive shut with one hand.

"Digital Time - Alldramon!"

Accompanied by a powerful transformation voice, the belt instantly releases a torrent of deep blue, semi-transparent data!

Amidst the torrent, countless sharp white claw marks and tooth-shaped energy fragments swept over Bai Yu's entire body like a prehistoric storm!

Beneath his feet, a huge Allosaurus claw mark of light and shadow suddenly appeared!

Amidst the torrent, the phantom of Alldramon let out a deep roar, its massive outline transforming into countless shimmering data modules.

The deep blue modules, like intricate armor plates, began to assemble at an extremely high speed, covering the white feather's body.

Finally, with a resounding "boom," the costume was complete!

The knight froze in place, surrounded by deep blue data particles and scorching air ripples.

Bai Yu appears in a new form: [Alldramon Armor Mode]!
