Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Maintaining the 'purity of bloodline' is actually very important for Digimon.

As for the fourth generation, all they had to do was develop the Fighter Spirit. The data they obtained after the battles were stored in the 'scanner', and they never actually used it themselves.

The 'scanner' is also known as the fourth-generation Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Just as Bai Yu's thoughts drifted away, the surrounding layer of mist began to thin at a visible rate.

The digital field is on the verge of disappearing.

Seeing that Liu Ji was still there, head bowed in thought, Bai Yu did not intend to linger any longer. He picked up the Ancient Music Beast and turned to leave.

However, he had only taken one step when he heard Ruki's voice behind him.

"Wait, stop right there! This isn't over yet!"

Bai Yu stopped and turned around, looking at her with amusement.

"What? I've already given you such important tips for free, can't you even say thank you? Are you still going to bother me?"

"How can you be so ungrateful?"

Liu Ji snorted coldly, her purple eyes rekindling with a defiant flame as she stared sharply at Bai Yu.

"One thing at a time. Don't think you can take away my and Youkomon's victory just because you have a few words!"

Looking at the expression on Liu Ji's face, Bai Yu had a general idea of ​​what she wanted to do, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "So what do you want?"

Ruki took a step forward, her small, fair fist clenched tightly, and declared to Shiraha without hesitation, "Let's have another match!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's face showed an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this."

It's one thing to steal her data, but more importantly, she clearly still harbors resentment about her previous defeat.

Now, she wants to get her revenge.

Chapter 11: Someone is coming

Bai Yu smiled slightly and said, "Of course we can fight, but the conditions for winning and losing will remain the same as last time."

"Do you... still have money?"

"He really is a penniless wretch; all he thinks about is money!" Ruki sneered.

The money she took out last time was indeed the sum of several months' worth of pocket money.

But not one to back down, Ruki raised her delicate chin and replied firmly, "Money is not a problem!"

Ruki was confident that she would not lose again this time!

As long as we are careful to guard against their "despicable tactics" in attacking the 'trainers', winning the battle and getting revenge with their true strength is a sure thing!

Seeing that she agreed, Bai Yu's smile widened.

He bent down and gently placed the still bewildered Gu Le beast on the ground.

"Little rascal, go stand aside and be a spectator! You little brat, you're just looking at my head."

The ancient beast raised its head, its innocent big eyes looking at Bai Yu, then at Ruki not far away. Its little brain didn't seem to quite understand the situation, but it still obediently took off on its short legs and ran to the side.

Having resolved his "worries about the future," Bai Yu flipped his wrist, and the [Time-Space Drive] appeared in his hand, which he was about to place at his waist.

On the other side, Ruki also withdrew her gaze and gave the fox spirit a look, signaling it to prepare for battle.

The fox-like beast understood, took a step forward, its golden eyes flashing with sharp fighting spirit, and lowered its body slightly, about to assume a fighting stance.

However, at that moment, the fox beast seemed to sense something, its sharp movements suddenly faltered, and its brows furrowed tightly.

"Ryuhime, someone's coming."

Not only did Ruki hear this reminder, but Shiraha on the other side also heard it clearly.

He stopped fastening the drive to his waist.

At this moment, the thin fog surrounding them, that is, the "digital realm," had completely dissipated.

It's not surprising at all that someone is coming.

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow at Liu Ji and said two words: "Another day?"

Ruki didn't answer immediately, but the undisguised frustration on her tense face said it all.

Then, Ruki said, "This time it was just bad timing, let's talk about it next time."

Having been a Digimon Tamer for so long, Ruki has an ironclad rule in her heart: never engage in Digimon battles in front of ordinary people.

This is not out of cowardice, but to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"Fox Beast, you go first." Ruki suppressed her displeasure and decisively gave the order to her partner.

The fox-like beast nodded, giving Bai Yu a deep look before nimbly leaping away and disappearing silently into the night.

Seeing the fox spirit leave, Ruki also gave Shiroha a cold glance, as if to say, "You just wait," before turning around and walking toward the park's exit.

Watching Ruki's departing figure, Bai Yu shrugged indifferently.

He retracted the Time-Space Driver into the system space, then turned around and looked at the Ancient Music Beast.

"Hey kid, come here, we should go."

However, the Ancient Beast did not look at Bai Yu.

The tiny figure was tilting its head back, its big, innocent eyes sparkling as it gazed in a certain direction, seemingly having seen something extremely novel and interesting.

The next moment, the ancient beast's ears, which had been drooping, suddenly grew longer and larger, like a pair of small wings.

"Ancient music—!"

With a joyful shout, its small body took flight lightly and flew away happily in the direction it was looking.

"..."

Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but slap his forehead, a helpless bitter smile appearing on his face.

"We all forgot that this little guy can fly."

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took a step forward, chasing after the direction the ancient beast had flown off in, shouting loudly, "Wait for me, little guy!"

A night breeze blew by, and the park returned to a temporary tranquility.

Just as Shiraha and Ruki were leaving, a figure walked slowly along another path in the park.

The man was fiddling with a metal lighter, clicking it on and off repeatedly.

The crisp sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

His gaze happened to catch the two figures walking away into the distance.

The man stopped fiddling with the lighter in his hand, and finally snapped the lid shut with a "click".

He raised his hand and pressed the miniature earpiece on his ear. His voice was calm and deep, transmitting through the radio waves: "There are signs of battle at the scene, but fortunately the damage isn't too great. Notify the cleanup crew to come over."

A respectful and swift voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Understood, Room Chief."

The man didn't end the call immediately. His sharp gaze swept over the remaining cracks on the ground, and he continued, "I saw two children leave at the scene. Check the nearby surveillance footage. I need to know who those two children are."

"Yes, Chief." The voice on the other end of the microphone came again, without any hesitation.

The man reached out and turned off the earpiece, and the surroundings returned to silence, with only the rustling of the night wind through the leaves.

He glanced around at the areas affected by the battle, his eyes turning somewhat cold.

"Digimon, the Chosen Children..."

He muttered to himself, his tone carrying a complex emotion that was hard to describe, as if he was confused or annoyed.

"Why...of all people?"

At this point, the man gripped the lighter tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.

……

On the other side, on the street far from the park.

Bai Yu braced himself on his knees with both hands, panting heavily, beads of sweat sliding down his face.

"Whoosh...whoosh...this little guy flies pretty fast."

Bai Yu raised his head, looking at the empty night sky, his face full of helplessness.

He originally thought that with his physical strength, catching up with a tiny creature that flies by its ears should be more than a piece of cake.

But as it turned out, he had underestimated the speed of the Ancient Beast.

Its ears, which appear to grow larger and smaller at different times, are clearly not proper wings.

But its speed when it took off was astonishing; it twisted and turned, quickly leaving him out of sight.

As a result, Bai Yu has completely lost track of the Ancient Music Beast.

He searched around several nearby streets, even shouting "Gu Le Beast" a few times.

The result was, naturally, no response.

As the night grew darker, Bai Yu finally gave up the search.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and could only console himself: Oh well, there will always be a chance to meet the little guy again in the future, and it's too late to make a mistake.

Having figured this out, Bai Yu stopped worrying about it, identified the direction, and headed towards his newly rented place.

Not long after, Bai Yu returned to the slightly old two-story building.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, a modern high-rise building was brightly lit.

On one of the floors, a door with a sign that read 'Special Internet Investigation Room' opened automatically, and a man walked in calmly.

This man was the same one who had appeared in the park earlier.

His features were clearly visible under the bright indoor lights.

He had short, neat brown hair and wore dark sunglasses, which he never took off, even indoors.

He was wearing a well-tailored work suit, which made him appear meticulous.

In his hand, he was still holding a lighter, which seemed to be his habit.

Chapter 12 Ask Izumi Koushirou

"Manager, you're back." Upon seeing their manager return from outside, a staff member in work uniform quickly walked up to Yamaki Mitsuo.

At the same time, he handed over the two thin files in his hand and respectfully reported, "Chief, we have found out about the two children you mentioned on the phone earlier."

The person referred to as the head of the department was a man named Mitsuo Yamaki, the head of the 'Special Internet Investigation Department'.

The department's responsibility is to handle all incidents related to Digimon.

Nowadays, there are more and more Digimon that are physically formed in the real world.

In addition to the major incidents caused by Digimon in the past, countries and regions around the world are not blind and have long since established relevant response departments.

The staff member continued, "One is named Makino Ruki; there is a record of her in the archives."

"The other one is called Bai Yu. He's a 'newcomer' and there's no file created for him before."

Mitsuo Yamaki took the two files.

He first opened Ruki's copy, but his gaze lingered on it for less than two seconds behind his sunglasses before he closed it and handed it back.

Because of Ruki's almost "workaholic" hunting frequency, Yamaki Mitsuo was deeply impressed by her.

There's no need to look at her file at all.

Mitsuo Yamaki focused all his attention on the second file.

He opened the second file and saw a photo of Bai Yu, with his personal information listed below, from his birth date to the schools he attended and the schools he dropped out of school; his entire resume was clearly recorded.

That's right, Bai Yu is currently in a state of dropping out of school.

And all of this is naturally the system's masterpiece.

This file is complete in some ways, but it's not very useful.

Yamaki Mitsuo frowned and turned to the second page.
