Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

"I still don't like these Digimon, but if you're talking about a different way to deal with them, as long as it's useful and feasible, I'm willing to do it. So, are you willing to sign this contract?"

Should I sign? Of course, Bai Yu was willing to sign.

The contract is not very binding; it's basically the same as before. If a Digimon causes trouble, he'll be notified to deal with it. Otherwise, life goes on as usual.

Moreover, the pay is more than before. It's no longer just a matter of getting paid for each order. Even if there are no orders, there is a fixed monthly salary.

It would be foolish not to agree to such a good deal that offers money and few restrictions.

Shiraha smiled and told Yamaki Mitsuo, "I'm willing to sign."

After saying that, he changed the subject and pointed to Qi Ren and the others who were waiting not far away.

"However, I suggest that Chief Yamaki include all three of them as well."

At this, the smile on Mitsuo Yamaki's face disappeared.

Inviting Bai Yu is an affirmation of his strength, but if we were to ask Qi Ren and the other two...

"Are the three children okay?" Mitsuo Yamaki hesitated. If possible, he really didn't want to use child labor.

“Of course they can do it, and I’m only a few years older than them.” Bai Yu shrugged. Strictly speaking, he was also a child laborer.

Mitsuo Yamaki pondered in silence for two minutes, during which time the rhythmic clicking of his lighter echoed throughout.

Two minutes later, he spoke again, his tone decisive: "Okay, then let's include the three of them."

Immediately afterwards, Mitsuo Yamaki called over Keito, Kenryo, and Ruki, and handed them the contracts respectively.

"Take a look, this is the contract that hires you as external support staff for the 'Special Internet Investigation Room'."

The three people reacted differently.

Qi Ren held the contract, looked at Yamaki Mitsuo, then at Bai Yu, his face showing obvious surprise and flattery: "Me...can we do it too?"

Jianliang, on the other hand, was much calmer, carefully reading every clause in the contract as if he were evaluating an important collaborative project.

As for Ruki, she only glanced at the contract briefly before crossing her arms, her face showing a hint of wariness and scrutiny, as if trying to guess Yamaki Mitsuo's true intentions.

Ultimately, none of the three rejected Mitsuo Yamaki.

Chapter 107: Is the target still inside the house?

The three of them had a very simple idea.

Even if they don't agree to Yamaki Mitsuo's request, they're doing the same thing now.

If that's the case, why not agree?

If I agree, I'll also receive official logistical support from the 'Special Internet Investigation Room,' which is a good thing.

And so, Shiraha, Keito, Kenryo, and Ryuki officially became external support staff for the 'Special Internet Investigation Room'.

After finishing the business, Yamaki Mitsuo looked at Shiraha and brought up another matter: "I received news that the Oikawa Yukio you mentioned returned from abroad yesterday, and I sent people over to monitor him 24 hours a day."

Upon hearing this news, Bai Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly asked, "Where is he now?"

Instead of answering immediately, Mitsuo Yamaki pushed up his sunglasses and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Bai Yu's lips curled into a smile: "Of course, it's to eliminate a menace in advance."

That's what he said, but what Bai Yu was thinking was something else entirely.

Yukio Oikawa, or rather, the vampire beast residing within him, would be excellent material.

Perfect timing, since Myotismon is a bat, it's bound to be a good match for a certain belt.

Yamaki Mitsuo frowned: "Are you really sure there's something wrong with this Oikawa Yukio?"

“I have carefully investigated his past recently. His life trajectory is very clear. He has no chance to have any connection with the vampire beast from back then.”

Bai Yu thought to himself, "It would be strange if they could find out."

Yukio Oikawa was just an unlucky guy whose consciousness was possessed by a vampire beast. Naturally, no one would find anything by investigating his normal resume and background.

Bai Yu said with a very firm expression, "I am not making things up about him."

"You'll understand once I've met him. I can guarantee that if Oikawa Yukio is a normal human being, I definitely won't do anything to him."

Yamaki Mitsuo remained silent for a full half minute before speaking again, his tone calm: "I will send you the address tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu smiled.

Yamaki Mitsuo didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, and then took his leave.

As soon as Yamaki Mitsuo left, Kei couldn't hold back any longer and immediately approached Bai Yu, his face full of barely suppressed curiosity: "Brother Bai Yu, Brother Bai Yu, who exactly is this Oikawa Yukio you just mentioned?"

"And another one, Myotismon? Could it be the same Myotismon from Odaiba back then?"

He bombarded the students with a barrage of questions, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge, looking just like a student who had discovered a new continent in the classroom.

Although Ruki and Kenji were not as excited as Keito, they were clearly also very interested in the topic.

Especially Kenryo, he remembered very clearly that Shiraha and Chief Yamaki had mentioned the name Oikawa Yukio before.

"It's a long story, there's a lot of information involved in this." Bai Yu held up his index finger and waved it in front of Qi Ren.

"Once I've dealt with this person, I'll find some time to explain it to you all in detail."

"Huh?" Qi Ren's face fell, and he pouted, muttering softly, "I want to hear it now..."

Bai Yu pretended not to hear him, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned and walked towards Shuli and the other two who were still waiting in the distance.

Ruki and Kenryo exchanged a glance, both sensing a hint of helplessness in each other's reactions.

They knew very well that if Bai Yu didn't want to talk about something, they wouldn't get it out of him no matter how much they asked.

After the meal, the group left together, said their goodbyes, and went home.

The next day, in the morning.

Warm sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and Bai Yu was sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast.

My phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.

Bai Yu picked up his phone; on the screen was a text message from Yamaki Mitsuo.

The text message was very simple, containing only an address: a detached house in the suburbs of the city.

Immediately afterwards, a second text message arrived, this time from Yamaki Mitsuo, who had even sent a car to take Bai Yu there for his convenience.

Bai Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "Is this the official treatment for contract workers? It's quite thoughtful."

Bai Yu didn't linger, quickly finished her breakfast, and returned to her room to change into her outdoor clothes.

Shortly after, a black sedan pulled up on the side of the road downstairs.

Bai Yu went downstairs, opened the door, and got into the car.

In the car, besides seeing a driver dressed in black, Bai Yu saw Jian Liang sitting quietly in the back seat, with Big Ear Beast lying on his lap. When it saw Bai Yu come in, it lazily raised its ears and shook them.

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face.

Jianliang took the initiative to explain: "It was Chief Yamaki who sent me here, saying that the two of us could look after each other."

The big-eared beast chimed in, "Many hands make light work, so don't be rude."

As Bai Yu listened to Jian Liang's words, he secretly wondered to himself: "Look after him? Is it possible that Yamaki Mitsuo is worried about me and sent someone here specifically to keep an eye on me?"

After all, the target this time was a living human being, so they were probably afraid of not being able to control themselves.

However, Shiraha really wronged Yamaki Mitsuo this time.

Mitsuo Yamaki's true thought was: since Akira and the others have become official external support staff, they will be needed in the future.

Bai Yu's strength is obvious to all, so it won't hurt for Jianliang to learn from him.

If it weren't for the worry that something else might happen in the city and there wouldn't be anyone available to send, Mitsuo Yamaki would have liked to bring Keito and Ruki over as well for a "practical training team building" session.

······

The car started smoothly and quickly merged into the traffic.

The carriage was quiet for a moment, with only the occasional soft noise from the Big-eared Beast.

As the vehicle drove away from the city, the view outside the window changed from skyscrapers to endless greenery.

More than an hour later, the car finally left the main road and turned onto a quiet country lane.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and earth.

At the end of the road, a charming detached house comes into view. Built by the water and surrounded by dense forest, the house offers a beautiful view and is a typical vacation home.

The driver didn't drive directly to the cabin door, but stopped at a corner where it was shaded by trees.

As soon as the car came to a stop, a man wearing an ordinary jacket walked quickly out of the woods next to the car, knocked on the window, and showed his identification to the driver.

It was the personnel that Mitsuo Yamaki had sent in advance to monitor the situation.

The driver rolled down the window and asked, "Is the target still inside?"

The man nodded, also lowering his voice: "Inside the house, he hasn't come out since he went in."

After hearing the man's report, Bai Yu did not hesitate at all and called to Jianliang and Big Ears, saying, "Let's go, let's go and meet him."

Jianliang nodded.

Bai Yu then pushed open the car door and got out of the car.

Jianliang picked up Big Ear Beast and followed him downstairs.

Chapter 108: Spider Woman, Your Opponent is Me

The surveillance personnel lowered their voices: "We'd better sneak over quietly, without alerting them."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu did not speak, but turned his head to look at Jian Liang, asking for his opinion with his eyes.

Jianliang hugged the big-eared beast, thought about it, and still felt that the professional's advice was more reliable: "I think he makes sense."

“That makes sense…” Bai Yu drawled out the words, then shook his head: “But it’s unnecessary.”

"The person is already here, why bother clearing the grass and startling the snake? Just go in and pull him out."

After saying that, Bai Yu ignored the astonished expression on the monitor's face, strode over to the exquisite little building, and walked in a swagger.

"Hey you……"

The surveillance personnel instinctively tried to call out to him, but Bai Yu showed no sign of stopping.

Jianliang sighed, smiled apologetically at the bewildered surveillance personnel, and then quickly followed after them, carrying Big Ear Beast.

The big-eared beast nestled in Jianliang's arms and wiggled its long ears: "Don't wait any longer, this seems to be a bit faster."

The group quickly arrived at the front of the small building.

The environment here was serene and the air was fresh. Bai Yu stopped, cleared her throat, and then said, "I know you're in there. Come out and meet me!"

The loud sound echoed in the quiet countryside, startling several birds flying in the woods.

Inside the house.

Yukio Oikawa was sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping a cup of black tea.

Despite the shouts from outside, his hand holding the teacup didn't waver at all; instead, a look of great interest appeared on his face.

Opposite him, a woman wearing a fiery red dress and a matching wide-brimmed hat stood up, her long, gray hair hanging down to her waist.

“It seems the main culprit has come knocking.” Yukio Oikawa put down his teacup and slowly began to speak: “I’ve only just returned, and you’re already so eager to monitor me.”

"Let's go out and see who's targeting me?"

Yukio Oikawa had long ago discovered those eyes hidden in the shadows.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door of the small building was pushed open from the inside.

Yukio Oikawa led the woman in red out slowly and deliberately.

His gaze swept over Bai Yu and Jian Liang. When he saw the giant ear beast perched on Jian Liang's shoulder, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, but quickly returned to normal.

While Yukio Oikawa was sizing them up, Shiraha was also observing them.

Yukio Oikawa himself looks exactly like Shiraha remembered.
