"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

Chapter 13: The Second Trial

The author has something to say: brush up the favor copy, be careful...

"So that's what happened!" A group of people had already walked into the seemingly endless tunnel, and Koizumi was still thinking about the logic puzzle at the entrance, "'Truth is in the hands of a few' is given Our condition means that only one of these three sentences is true. The words on the first door and the second door express the same meaning, so they cannot all be true, so only the third door It is true what you say above. If you infer this way, the correct path should be the first door.” She repeated the decryption process in a rambling manner, and Tomoki, who was walking beside her, looked at her in bewilderment. As if he didn't understand.

"I can't tell, you react quite quickly!" Junping happily patted Kotoe's shoulder.The sudden force made Qin Hui stagger, almost tripping over the stone road under her feet.Fortunately, she stabilized her footsteps in time, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Well, I don't understand this kind of thing, anyway, we haven't encountered any problems after walking for a long time now," Takuya put his hands behind his head, maintaining his usual optimism, "Whether it's a way out, Treasures are fine, this should be the right path!" He hasn't given up yet, still thinking about the treasures mentioned in Bogomon's book.

Qin Hui still focused on walking her own way.At this time, the road under the feet has changed from a flat stone brick road to an upward step.Not knowing where the light source came from, she could not only clearly see the road ahead, but also observe the strange and exquisite patterns carved on the stone walls on both sides.Takuya's words were heard in her ears, but it was just passing by.Rather than continuing to entangle on this issue, it is more important to keep your mouth shut and preserve your energy.

After walking for about 5 minutes, this long stone road finally came to an end.The field of vision is suddenly brightened from the narrow passage.The children left the stone path one after another and came to the platform connected to the tunnel.

"This is so big!" Koizumi made a pergola with his hands and placed it in front of his forehead, looking around.

"But there is only one road in front of us." Junpei was referring to the only bridge connected to the platform, which was still narrow and made of earth and rocks.It is only supported by a few stone pillars, and at the same time, it can barely accommodate two people walking side by side, and there are no protective measures such as guardrails and handrails on both sides. Under the bridge, there is a bottomless abyss of darkness.

"This, this... shall we go over there?" You Shu stood on the edge of the platform and looked carefully.He quickly withdrew his head, looked back at Takuya uneasily, "This bridge gives people a very dangerous feeling." Before Youshu finished speaking, he saw fine sand and dust peeling off from the stone road , Not long after, those golden spots completely disappeared into the darkness.

"Be at ease!" Takuya supported Sumitomoki's shoulders behind him, "There is only one goal, and it is always right to move forward!" The stone path propped up by stone pillars in front of him is connected to another similar platform, and At the end of the platform is a snow-white double stone door about two meters high.Compared with the golden surrounding environment, that piece of pure white exudes a warm light to the surroundings.

But after all, the bridge deck is narrow, and everyone had to pass one by one.At the beginning, they walked cautiously, but in the end they found that their bridge made of stone slabs was more stable than imagined, so they became more courageous, and no longer walked as cautiously as they did at the beginning. step.

Seeing that he was about to reach the finish line, Takuya, who was walking in the forefront, unconsciously quickened his pace a lot.And at this moment, a violent shock came from the soles of his feet again. "Everyone, be careful!" Takuya quickly squatted down to prevent falling from the bridge due to unstable center of gravity.Everyone immediately imitated his example and waited for this sudden wave of attacks to pass.

Fortunately, there was nothing much wrong with the seemingly crumbling bridge.But when the commotion passed, Kotoe, Bogomon, and Q&Amon who were at the end of the team were the first to discover that there were a lot of white beasts with human heads on the platform where they came. A Digimon with a pair of wings.They stared ferociously at the group of people still standing on the bridge, and it was very likely that they would attack in the next moment.

"It's a gargoyle!" Pogomon recognized these Digimon at a glance.

"They seem to be very angry." The Q&A Beast still squinted his small eyes and commented cheerfully.

"Oops." Several people took a few steps back, and Takuya couldn't help taking out his armed Tyrannosaurus rex machine and glanced at it, but the machine still seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not respond.Having lost their ability to evolve, they simply cannot compete with this group of gargoyles who are staring at them.

"What should we do?" Chunping couldn't help asking, "Will they attack us?" At this time, he still had a chance for the other party, even though the group of gargoyles couldn't compete with " The word "friendly" is linked together.

Takuya glanced behind him.He visually estimated the distance of the remaining bridges, then lowered his voice and said to everyone: "Let's do this, I'll count to three, two, and one, and then we'll run right away!"

"Wait, Kanbara-kun!" Kotoe only had time to glance back at him, but before she could say anything, Takuya's countdown in a low voice had already entered the countdown stage: "Three, two, one! Run!" Takuya gave an order, and the people and Digimons except Kotoe turned around and rushed in the opposite direction.At the same time, the gargoyles also launched an attack on the fleeing children: "Pure white statue!"

Snow-white marble statues carved into the shape of demons fell from the sky, falling along the trajectory of the children's escape.The fragile stone bridge really couldn't withstand such an attack, and it made a terrifying cracking sound when the statue hit.Then, when Pogomon, who was running at the end, slammed down on the platform, the stone bridge behind him was completely broken, forming a parallel gap between Kotoe who was standing there and the rest of the children. Not narrow cavities.

"Qin Hui!" Amidst the panicked shouts of the children, Qin Hui could only watch helplessly as the terrifying gargoyles slowly approached her.She took a step back uneasily, but listening to the echo caused by the gravel falling into the bottomless void, she knew that there was no way out behind her.

"Kotoe, jump over!" Takuya shouted to her.

"But, but..." Although they didn't get along for a long time, it was the first time for the rest of the people to see Kotoe who always kept his expression on the face showing a trace of hesitation and fear.She looked at this distance that was not so exaggerated, as if she saw an insurmountable gully.

"Don't hesitate! Qin Hui, jump over here!" The rest of the people were also anxious and shouted at her.

But... but her!Qin Hui clenched her fists tightly, she turned her head and glanced at the gargoyle that was approaching, and bit her lower lip hard.Anyway, no matter how she chooses, she seems to be a dead end, so it's better... It's better to take a gamble!Thinking of this, she took a few steps back.

The legs that lack exercise are a little weak at the moment of running.After taking a few steps, Qin Hui jumped up.I feel that my movements seem to be cut into countless slow motion, and even the frequency of my breathing has been cut into countless pieces frame by frame.The expressions on the faces of Takuya and the others also solidified into different shapes at the same time, which were reflected in still pictures in her eyes.

After all, Takuya is not Kotoe, so he forgot to consider a fact—or it should be said, he did not consider such a problem at all: For example, a person like Kotoe who is weak and sick and lacks exercise cannot surpass ordinary people at all—such as Takuya. An athletic guy—distances that can be covered with ease.

He barely managed to catch the platform, but because of the weight of his body, he only relied on his arms for support.According to Qin Hui's strength, she couldn't do this at all, and what's worse, that fragile layer of soil was picked off by her nails.Qin Hui only felt that her body was light, and the whistling wind was blowing in her ears, which made her a little dazed for a moment.

She did not fall into the abyss as expected.When she raised her head, what she saw was Takuya's hand grabbing her wrist, stopping her downward trend.But this kind of movement made her feel that her wrist was almost dislocated. She wanted to find a place on the stone wall as a support point for her body, but found that the platform itself was tapered, and she couldn't find a way to make Takuya , or a more relaxed position for her own wrist.

The gargoyles flapped their wings covered with white feathers and came towards them.

"Kanbara-kun let me go! Otherwise you will be attacked!" There was no time to hesitate, Kotoe urged Takuya anxiously.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Takuya seemed to exert all his strength.Where Kotoe could not see, Junpei and Yuki hugged Takuya's body behind him, preventing him from falling with Kotoe.But even in such a situation, he can still talk to Kotoe distractedly.

"Kanhara-kun!" Kotoe sighed weakly, "If I'm a burden, just throw me away." Kotoe's voice was very soft, with no ups and downs in the tone, as if the person in crisis in front of her was not her, It seemed that the person she said was about to be abandoned was not her.

"I don't understand!" Because all the strength in his body was concentrated in his hands, Takuya's facial features were twisted together, "Is this the second time? Why are you able to say such words so frankly... What is the burden? Yes, don't degrade yourself to such a position so easily!"

"Let me go." Already too lazy to continue discussing this issue with him, Kotoe raised her hand cruelly to break Takuya's fingers.

"Hey, Kotoe, do you really want to be abandoned that much?"

"Takuya!" "Takuya, brother Takuya..." Junpei and Yuki's voice seemed to come from a very far away place.It sounded like Tomoki's voice was trembling with timidity.At this time, the gargoyle that rushed to the front had already hovered over them.This time, the pure black statue floated in mid-air because of its call, and the target was the crumbling Kotoe and Takuya who was holding on to Kotoe.

"answer me!"

Qin Hui lowered her head.She wanted to tell Takuya the yes answer without hesitation.But... She opened her mouth feebly, but found that she couldn't make a sound.Indeed, because of this disease, she killed her parents, and she also became a drag on her sister.She never looked down on herself like this, but... But at this moment, some memories appeared in her mind uncontrollably.Youki, Koizumi, Junpei, and this boy with goggles in front of him.Although we didn't get along for a long time, so many things happened.And... More importantly, she still wants to go back, to the human world.Even if I want to say goodbye, I want to say "goodbye" to that person.Even though she knew it, if she really saw it, she probably didn't even have the courage to do this.

She is closer to the god of death than anyone here, and she should understand the value of life better than anyone here!

"Don't..." She shook her head, and when she opened her mouth, she said words that were unfamiliar and not like herself, "I don't want to! I also want to live a simple life like an ordinary person. But..."

"Then there is no 'but'!" Takuya smiled, "We still have to go to the forest terminal together, right, Kotoe?"

"Kanhara-kun..." Qin E raised her head in a daze, looking at the young man who was holding her wrist tightly.

"What's 'Kanhara-kun'! It's fine to call him 'Takuya'!" He tried his best to squeeze out a smile.Behind him, there seemed to be a silver-white light faintly shining, and that kind of light made people feel a little familiar.

"Pitch-black statue!" "Pure white statue!" Takuya suddenly narrowed his eyes.From the corner of his eye, he had already caught a glimpse behind Qin Hui, and countless black and white statues were attacking the two of them.

What's happening here?The strange unfolding in front of her eyes made Qin Hui a little dazed, but at the next moment, she felt her body lighten up, as if being hugged into the sky by someone.Before she was about to struggle, she looked back, only to find that the fairy beast was hugging her behind her, and rescued herself and Takuya, who was almost out of strength, out of the predicament.

"Thunderbolt hammer!" "Snowball bombardment!" Then familiar moves came from behind Takuya, and statues of demons and angels gathered in the direction of the two of them.In the thunder light and snowball, the statues were blasted into countless pieces one after another, like fireworks bursting in the air.

"Koizumi, how could it be?" What appeared out of Qin Hui's corner of the eye were the Lightning Beast and the Ice Bear Beast.

"I don't know what's going on, anyway, when I came back to my senses, I found that I can evolve." The fairy beast put Kotoe in a safe place, then turned to Takuya and said, "Takuya, you owe me this time." We have one favor!"

"Yeah, it really helped a lot, Koizumi!" Takuya moved his sore wrist, and immediately took out his armed Tyrannosaurus machine, "Since it can evolve, don't worry about it!"

However, this weird battle did not benefit them because they gained the ability to evolve.For example, in front of you, when the Lightning Beast hit a stone ghost beast fiercely with its unique move, it quickly turned into a pile of dust like a broken stone statue.However, there was no familiar digital code on its body, and even after a few seconds, those broken powders were combined and reborn, turning into a complete gargoyle once again.Therefore, this battle was not as easy as Takuya imagined.

"Anyway, Kotoe, leave these Digimon to us to deal with, you, Bogomon, and Q&Amon, go ahead first!" Vulcan beast took a gap, turned around and shouted to Kotoe, "No matter what is behind the door !"

It was too powerless to just stand on the sidelines and watch the battle, but Kotoe knew that even if she continued to watch, not only would she not be able to help Takumi and the others, but she might become a stumbling block again.Because of this, Qin Hui didn't say any hypocritical words of resistance, but immediately turned around and dragged the Pogo beast and the Q&A beast, and strode towards the stone gate.
